Flora of Espírito Santo: Humiriaceae
Authors: Nepomuceno Álvaro , Nichio-Amaral Renara , Alves-Araújo Anderson
Published: March 2022

Abstract Belonging to Malpighiales, Humiriaceae has about 65 species in eight genera, distributed almost exclusively in the Neotropics, occurring from southern Brazil to Central America. In Brazil, 35 species have been recorded (ca. 54% of the family’s diversity), wherein the greatest diversity is found in the Amazon (27 spp.), Atlantic Forest (9 spp.) and Cerrado (6 spp.) domains. This work is part of the “Flora do Espírito Santo” project, which aims to contribute to the knowledge of the state’s floristic diversity. Field expeditions were carried out from January/2019 to March/2020. Humiriaceae, in the state of Espírito Santo, is represented by six species distributed in four genera: Humiria, Humiriastrum, Sacoglottis and Vantanea. Among the registered genera, Vantanea is the most diversified, with three species. In the dense rain forest, all Humiriaceae species recorded here were found, followed by pioneer formations of restingas, with four species and seasonal semideciduous forest, with one species. The main morphological characters that assist in the delimitation of Humiriaceae species in Espírito Santo, are androecium characteristics, such as length (homodynamous or heterodynamous), number of stamens and the number of their series, as well as anther morphology.
Flora of Espírito Santo: Saccolomataceae

Published: March 2022

Abstract As part of the Flora of Espírito Santo project, we present the taxonomic treatment of the fern family Saccolomataceae, with a key, descriptions, illustrations, and a list of examined specimens. Two species of Saccoloma occur in the state of Espírito Santo: S. elegans and S. nigrescens. Both species are endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest.
Myrcia (Myrtaceae) in the Vale Natural Reserve, Linhares, Espírito Santo, Brazil
Authors: Scaravelli Fernanda Savioli , Gaem Paulo Henrique , Valdemarin Karinne Sampaio , Lucas Eve , Mazine Fiorella Fernanda
Published: March 2022

Abstract Myrcia (Myrteae, Myrtaceae) is represented by 101 species in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo, but local floristic surveys on this genus still lack in this centre of diversity and endemism. In this context, a taxonomic account of Myrcia in the Vale Natural Reserve (VNR), Linhares, Espírito Santo, is presented. Forty-six species were registered in this study, representing 46% of the richness of the genus in Espírito Santo. Twenty-five species (54%) are endemic to the Atlantic domain and seven are endemic to Espírito Santo. Myrcia scytophylla is reported in the Atlantic forest for the first time and M. cymatophylla, M. congestiflora, and M. ferruginosa are new occurrences in the state. Species composition revealed by this study considerably differs from that of a previous checklist. Representatives of Myrcia can be found in all main vegetation types of the VNR and the anthropic areas. The study site must be considered prioritary for conservation of Myrcia due to the presence of a rich assemblage, which also includes restrict and threatened species.
Plants in the clouds: vascular epiphytes of Pedra Azul, a mountain top in Espírito Santo, Southeastern Brazil
Authors: Marcusso Gabriel Mendes , Menini Neto Luiz , Lombardi Julio Antonio
Published: March 2022

Abstract Cloud forests usually occur at high-altitude sites of the Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil, albeit scattered and fragmented along the mountain tops. In this habitat, the vegetation occurs at low-temperature conditions and is usually provided by additional water sources that arise due to the horizontal precipitation of the frequent fogs. Together with the more considerable air movement and higher luminosity, these factors are conditioning for singular floras at high elevations, mainly the vascular epiphytes, which are macro and microclimate dependent. In the mountains range at the center of the Espírito Santo state, Southeastern Brazil, some mountain tops such as Pedra Azul (PA) hold these environmental features. Here, we aimed to present the first checklist of vascular epiphytes in the Pedra Azul State Park and surroundings based on fieldwork and herbarium specimens. The checklist comprises 152 species, 65 genera, and 17 families, the main families being Orchidaceae, Bromeliaceae, and Polypodiaceae, with the main genera represented by Vriesea, Acianthera, and Peperomia. The holoepiphytes were the main category among the epiphytes, although an unusually high number of facultative epiphytes were recorded. Asplenium theciferum and Octomeria cucullata are recorded in Espírito Santo for the first time, and we confirmed the occurrence of Rhipsalis cereuscula in the state. Overall, the richness recorded in PA is amongst the highest of the Atlantic Forest cloud forests. Six species are threatened at the national level and 32 at the state level. These results support the importance of the protected area for conserving the flora; however, several species - including threatened - were only recorded in the surroundings, demonstrating that the buffer zone of the Pedra Azul State Park must be included in the management plans.
Flora of Espírito Santo: Lecythidaceae
Authors: Ribeiro Michel , Mori Scott Alan , Alves-Araújo Anderson , Peixoto Ariane Luna
Published: March 2022

Abstract The Lecythidaceae clade has a pantropical distribution and comprises 24 genera and 355 species. Ten genera and 121 species occur in Brazil, where species richness is highest in Amazonia. Four genera and 14 species were recorded in Espírito Santo, as well as two cultivated species. Important characters used to identify the species are the morphology of the bark, shape and size of the leaves, presence and shape of trichomes on the leaves and inflorescences, inflorescence type, morphology and color of the perianth (especially the petals), morphology of the androecium, shape and dimension of the fruits and seeds, and morphology of the arils. Identification keys, descriptions, illustrations, and comments for the taxa are provided.

Published: March 2022

Abstract The Paulo César Vinha State Park (PEPCV), an important conservation unit in the state of Espírito Santo, has one of the richest angiosperm communities of any restinga area in Brazil, making it a priority area for biodiversity conservation. In this study, we perform an inventory of the PEPCV flora through an exploratory collection over the park area and compilation of data from botanical collections available in virtual herbaria. A total of 634 species were listed, distributed into 367 genera and 111 families of angiosperms, representing 43.75% of the species documented in the restingas of Espírito Santo. The richest families were Fabaceae (54 spp.), Cyperaceae (40 spp.), Orchidaceae (40 spp.), Myrtaceae (36 spp.), and Poaceae (30 spp.). Six species were recorded for the first time in the park, ten are endemic to the Espírito Santo, and about 10% of the species are threatened with extinction. We provide data on the habit, species distribution in phytophysiognomies, and endangered species. Finally, we discussed the importance of broad knowledge about the park’s plants, exposing points to conserve specific areas with high antopic rate, and plans to preserve the biodiversity of this ecosystem.
Nomes de domínio e propriedade intelectual: reflexões sobre resolução de controvérsias a partir da Análise Econômica do Direito
Authors: Castro Carla Frade de Paula , Silva Davi Antonio Araújo , Souto Gabriel Araújo , Albrecht Nayara F. Macedo de Medeiros
Published: March 2022

Resumo O cybersquatting consiste no registro de má-fé de um nome de domínio contendo marca de terceiro, com intuito de posterior revenda ao seu legítimo titular. A fim de coibir essa prática nociva, a Corporação da Internet para Atribuição de Nomes e Números (ICANN) criou um sistema de resolução de controvérsias bem difundido, mas rejeitado pelo Brasil dadas as peculiaridades de seus litígios. Este artigo analisa, sob a perspectiva da Análise Econômica do Direito, a eficiência do Sistema Administrativo de Conflitos de Internet (SACI-Adm), contrastando-a com a do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ). Notou-se uma clara preferência pelo primeiro, com 297 decisões, as quais repetem o viés pró-reclamante verificado no sistema da ICANN. Já os seis casos do STJ revelam uma jurisprudência uniforme, centrada em torno de quatro teses principais. Nestas, a filosofia utilitarista que justifica a proteção às marcas aparece apenas de forma marginal, preferindo o Tribunal investigar a existência de má-fé do proprietário do domínio, em clara alusão à dimensão moral da Justiça, não obstante os efeitos econômicos da prática de cybersquatting. Conclui-se que o SACI-Adm é o sistema mais efetivo, dados os seus menores custos, a média de 40 dias para tomada da decisão e o baixo índice de judicialização.

Published: March 2022

Resumo Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência e fatores associados à intenção de se vacinar contra a COVID-19 entre idosos brasileiros. Métodos: Estudo seccional, baseado em entrevistas telefônicas de participantes do Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde dos Idosos Brasileiros (60 anos ou mais), conduzidas em 70 municípios, em março de 2021. As análises foram realizadas mediante regressão logística multinomial. Resultados: Entre 4.364 participantes (idade média = 70,1 anos), 91,8% pretendiam se vacinar ou já haviam sido vacinados, 2,5% não tinham essa intenção e 5,7% estavam indecisos. Residentes do Norte e Sudeste brasileiros apresentaram maiores propensões para se vacinar, assim como aqueles com duas ou mais doenças crônicas. Os que se informam sobre a COVID-19 com amigos/familiares/mídia social foram mais propensos a estarem indecisos acerca da vacinação (odds ratio = 3,15; IC95% 1,28;7,77). Conclusão: Identificou-se uma das mais altas prevalências da intenção de se vacinar contra a COVID-19 descritas até a presente data.
Participação pública em saúde e Covid-19 em Portugal
Authors: Matos Ana Raquel , Craveiro Isabel
Published: March 2022

Nas últimas décadas, o tema da participação pública em processos de decisão tem estado presente nas agendas políticas, com mais ou menos centralidade, em vários contextos democráticos do mundo. No campo da saúde, a participação pública apresenta-se como estratégia política com potencialidades para garantir maior corresponsabilização entre os atores envolvidos e para incrementar a transparência dos serviços, sendo enfatizada como boa prática que deve ser implementada em prol da qualidade das decisões, mas também de decisões que sejam orientadas para os reais problemas das populações. A pandemia COVID-19 trouxe pressões adicionais aos sistemas de saúde, constituindo-se como contexto propício à análise da participação cidadã nos processos de decisão que enquadram problemas de saúde na sua relação com a pandemia.  Este ensaio apresenta uma análise exploratória sobre a evolução das práticas de participação cidadã nas políticas de saúde em Portugal, destacando alguns dos seus desafios atuais e futuros. Procura-se, assim, compreender como a pandemia teve ressonância na forma como a participação em saúde vinha decorrendo no país, aferindo se, num período global de crise com características singulares, a pandemia enquanto problema coletivo distendeu ou contraiu estas práticas participativas.
Effects of EFL Learners’ Perspectives on Online English Classes: Gender, Major, and Proficiency
Authors: Cha Yoonjung , Kim Na Young , Kim Hea-Suk
Published: March 2022

This study explores the association between gender, major, language proficiency, and student perspectives toward an online educational setting. Participants included 366 university freshmen who attended ten general English courses in the spring semester of 2020. They took online courses featuring pre-recorded video lessons and synchronous classes via Zoom. They were divided by gender, by major into four groups, and by proficiency level totaling three groups to investigate whether there were significant differences between variables. The questionnaire was comprised of four different categories (closed-ended) and three open-ended items (benefits, drawbacks, and suggestions). According to the results of the questionnaire, gender and major had no effect on student perspectives toward online learning. However, statistically significant differences were found between the proficiency levels. Specifically, intermediate students are inclined to be more positive about online learning compared to beginners and advanced students. In conclusion, it can be noted that proficiency levels play an important part in student engagement and in attitudes toward online learning. Lastly, students mentioned that one of the advantages of online learning is students can repeatedly review online materials at their convenience, but identified non-immediate feedback, technical problems, and fewer opportunities for communication as disadvantages. Pedagogical implications and related future studies are suggested.

Published: March 2022

A digitalizáció minden üzleti területet elér, csak idő kérdése, hogy a kevésbé fejlett területek, mint a címben foglalt vízi közművek mikor jutnak el a jelenlegi nyugat-európai szintre. A tanulmány elemzi a digitalizáció lehetséges területeit a klórgáz-adagolástól az okos merőkig, majd az új szolgáltatások biztonsági kihívásait állítja ezekkel párhuzamba. . Ezek a folyamatok már a villamosenergia-ellátás területén lejátszódtak: a kritikus infrastruktúrára vonatkozó szabályok, a bevezetett technológiák (pl. okos merők), a kockázatokból eredő incidensek és az ezek miatt megindult tudományos kutatások. Ezek mind előre vetítik a vízi közmű-szektor jövőjét, amit inkább proaktívan alakítani kellene a jó példák alapján.
Fatores promotores de sofrimento psíquico na população negra em vulnerabilidade social
Authors: Prado Carolina Conceição , Nascimento Dheneffer Santana , Cader-Nascimento Fatima Ali Abdalah Abdel , Ferreira Larissa Oliveira Alves
Published: March 2022

O racismo persiste no Brasil e promove o desencadeamento de sofrimento psíquico. Buscou-se identificar os fatores promotores de sofrimento psíquico em pessoas negras em contexto de vulnerabilidade social no Distrito Federal. Para isso, foi feita uma pesquisa qualitativa com entrevistas e questionário com 15 pessoas autodeclaradas negras em situação de vulnerabilidade social. Os resultados expõem a falta de oportunidades educacionais, institucionais e financeiras, o abandono familiar e social necessário para a manutenção da saúde mental dos participantes, gerando assim problemas emocionais e comportamentais. A pessoa negra em situação de vulnerabilidade social sofre diversos preconceitos, sendo o racismo apenas um deles. Os participantes têm dificuldade para identificar o racismo. A discriminação é percebida em face da condição social, por estarem em vias públicas, com o estado mental alterado ou pedindo esmolas, sendo a cor da pele um fator agravante, pois indivíduos brancos na mesma condição social e de insalubridade são menos discriminados. A presença do sofrimento psíquico é real, porém a maioria dos participantes não tem hábito de procurar regularmente serviços de saúde, apenas a emergência por sentir a discriminação já no acolhimento, fato que caracteriza o racismo institucional. Conclui-se que as questões raciais precisam ser assumidas de forma consciente no contexto das instituições de saúde mental. Demanda processos de sensibilização, capacitação acerca da temática racial, no sentido de promover mais atenção e de cuidados, que vão além do acolhimento das necessidades básicas. O empoderamento da população negra é mais um foco a ser abraçado no cuidado à saúde mental.

Published: March 2022

A pandemia COVID19 impôs aos serviços e trabalhadores da Saúde uma realidade inesperada. Desinformação sobre o vírus causador e o desenvolvimento da doença, o risco da exposição direta e o medo daí consequente, trouxeram aos profissionais novos desafios em suas jornadas e novas fontes de sofrimento e adoecimento mental. Inserem-se neste contexto os Programas de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde e os residentes. Assim, este estudo, objetivou identificar os impactos da pandemia na saúde mental dos residentes multiprofissionais em saúde. Para o seu desenvolvimento, realizou-se uma pesquisa com os Residentes Multiprofissionais de um hospital de ensino do interior do Rio Grande do Sul, coletando-se dados (maio e junho de 2020) em um questionário semiestruturado. Obteve-se a participação consentida de 20 residentes. Os resultados evidenciam níveis elevados de estresse impactando no autocuidado. Diante disto, momentos de escuta psicológica (para relatarem seus medos, inseguranças e emoções) e o apoio psicossocial no ambiente de trabalho foram estratégias sinalizadas pelos residentes como importantes para enfrentamento do contexto pandêmico.
Psicoterapia para la regulación emocional desde un enfoque transdiagnóstico: revisión de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados
Authors: Vizioli Nicolás Alejandro
Published: March 2022

Introducción: La regulación emocional (RE) refiere a los procesos por los cuales los individuos influyen en las emociones que tienen, cuando las tienen y cómo las experimentan y expresan (Gross, 1998). El uso de estrategias desadaptativas de RE se asocia con distintos cuadros psicopatológicos. La concepción de RE como proceso transdiagnóstico permite sortear el problema de la comorbilidad, y ha sido abordado desde distintos modelos e investigaciones.

Objetivo: El presente estudio se propone realizar una revisión de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados de psicoterapia para la RE desde una perspectiva transdiagnóstica.

Método: Para ello se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos PubMed, SciELO, Redalyc y ScienceDirect.

Resultados: Se hallaron 11 artículos que cumplían los criterios de inclusión. Los resultados mostraron que las intervenciones transdiagnósticas obtuvieron mejores resultados que grupos control, que incluyeron otros tratamientos o listas de espera.

Conclusión: Se señala la importancia de realizar más ensayos clínicos aleatorizados que comparen nuevas intervenciones con tratamientos de primera línea.
Biodiversity and distribution of Isopoda and Polychaeta along the Northwestern Pacific and the Arctic Ocean
Authors: Saeedi Hanieh , L. Jacobsen Nils , Brandt Angelika
Published: March 2022

The northwestern Pacific Ocean is one of the hotspots of species richness and one of the high endemicity areas of the World Ocean. However, large-scale biodiversity patterns of major deep‑sea taxa such as Isopoda and Polychaeta are still poorly studied. The goal of this research is to study the distribution, biodiversity, and community composition of Isopoda and Polychaeta (including Siboglinidae and Echiura) across the northwestern Pacific Ocean and the adjacent Arctic Ocean. The study area was divided into equal-sized hexagonal cells (c. 700,000 km²), ecoregions, 5° latitudinal bands, and 200 m depth intervals as unit of analysis. Our results revealed that the area around the Philippines and the Laptev Sea had the highest isopod and polychaete’s species richness compared to the other geographic regions of our study, with a latitudinal decline of species richness in shallow waters in both taxa. In the deep sea, maximum species richness increased towards the temperate latitudes. Gamma species richness (number of species per 200 m depth interval) also declined with depth. Rarefied species richness of isopods peaked around 5000 m depth. Rarefaction curves demonstrated a great potential for undiscovered richness across 5° latitudinal bands and depth intervals. In shallow waters, polychaetes with a pelagic larval phase had a wider distribution range compared to brooding isopods, but, in the deep sea, isopods had slightly wider distribution ranges compared to polychaetes. These results thus demonstrated that shallow water taxa with pelagic larvae and polychaete species with a wide vertical distribution range could potentially invade higher latitudes, such as species from the Northwest Pacific invading the Arctic Ocean under the rapid climate change and catastrophic reduction of sea ice cover. These changes might dramatically change the benthic communities of the Arctic Ocean and management of such should take an adaptive approach and apply measures that take potential extension and invasion of species into account.
HisPur Purification of His-Tagged Proteins--CHEM 584 v1
Authors: Christensen Ken
Published: March 2022

The Thermo Scientific HisPur Ni-NTA Resin enables effective immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) purification of polyhistidine-tagged proteins from a soluble protein extract. This resin is composed of nickel-charged nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) chelate immobilized onto 6% crosslinked agarose. The Ni-NTA resin is compatible with native or denaturing conditions and can be used in multiple formats, including conventional gravity-flow chromatography, spin column and FPLC. Ni-NTA resins are commonly chosen for His-tagged-protein purification because of the four metal-binding sites on the chelate, which allow for high-binding capacity and low-metal ion leaching.

Insulin Tolerance Test v1
Authors: Bridges Dave , C Mulcahy Molly , R. Redd JeAnna
Published: March 2022

Insulin tolerance tests are a standard and common method for evaluating the insulin sensitivity of an animal. In this assay, animals are fasted to normalize blood glucose and then challenged by an intraperitoneal injection of insulin. As glucose is transported into tissues and glucose production is suppressed, glucose levels drop. A more insulin sensitive animal will have a larger decrease in blood glucose. This has advantages over a glucose tolerance test which measures both insulin sensitivity and insulin responsiveness.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: The aim of the research was to analyze the - Introduced in 2015 as a new force protection capability - Hungarian Defence Forces Body Composition Program (HDF BCP) participants’ pattern of the measurement parameters and their relationship to each other, furthermore, to create a measurement protocol that can be used with large number of elements, which allows the estimation of strength and fat-free mass in the following.Methods: The examination was carried out between 2017 and 2020. Within the HDF BCP, the measured and estimated parameters of 283 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 67 years old. A total of 709 measures were made. A Premium Body Impedance Analyzer 500 (BIA) instrument was used for the examinations. In addition, a DYNA 16 strength meter (DYNA) was used which makes it possible to measure the grip strength of both hands at the same time. Statistical calculations are performed with R-Studio program.Results: An increase in the phase angle is accompanied by an increase in the maximum hand grip strength (p < 0.001). The full body strength increases with weight gain regarding both sexes in all age groups tested (p < 0.001). Our linear regression model is suitable for estimating maximum hand grip strength using body weight, fat-free mass, age, and gender values (R2 = 0,74) and to estimate fat-free mass percentage based on body weight, maximum hand grip strength, and gender values (R2 = 0,78).Conclusion: The use of phase angle is an important indicator of a lifestyle change program. In the created linear regression model we will be able to estimate body fraction in significant numbers with high accuracy after measuring minimum parameters.
New concrete masonry solid block with non-conventional geometry: Experimental characterization
Authors: Vargas María Fernanda , Carrillo León Julian
Published: March 2022

This paper presents and discusses the results of an experimental study aimed at characterizing the mechanical properties of an innovative and patented concrete masonry solid block with non-conventional geometry. The measured response in the new non-conventional block is compared with a conventional solid block. The experimental program was planned to verify whether the new block complies with the minimum values prescribed by the NSR-10 Colombian Code for being used as an unreinforced structural masonry block. The verification includes tests of water absorption and compressive strength of blocks, compressive strength of prisms, and flexural bond strength of standard beams. The similitudes or differences between the two types of blocks and prisms were evaluated using ANOVA tests. The results obtained demonstrated that both types of blocks comply with the requirements prescribed by NSR-10. Moreover, the flexural bond strength of the new block is roughly two times higher than that of the conventional block. The study results confirm that the new innovative block can be used for masonry structures.
Phytochemistry and Antiviral Properties of Two Lotus Species ‎Growing in Egypt
Authors: Youssef Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed , EL-Swaify Zeinb Ahmad Said EL-Swaify , Maaty Doaa  Ahmed ‎Mohamed , Youssef Mohamed Mohamed
Published: March 2022

Background: Lotus arabicus L and Lotus glaber Mill. belong to the family Fabaceae, and they grow in the wild in ‎Egypt and have different therapeutic uses in folk medicine. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical profile and ‎antimicrobial properties of the methanolic extracts of two Lotus spp. growing in Egypt, L. ‎arabicus and L. glaber. Material and methods: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to identify the compounds of the extracts of two Lotus species. An MTT colorimetric assay and the disc diffusion method were performed to investigate the antiviral and antimicrobial activities of two lotus species, respectively. Results: The n-hexane and methanol extracts of L. ‎arabicuscontained high percentages of alkane hydrocarbons, such as 5-methyloctadecane, ‎while L. glaber contained dodecane. The major compounds in the methanol extract of L. ‎arabicus were hexadecanoic acid methyl ester and dodecanoic acid,2,3-bis(acetyloxy)propyl ‎ester. The major compounds in the methanol extract of L. glaber were palmitic acid and ‎lucenin 2. The indole alkaloid ditaine was found only in L. arabicus. This alkaloid was ‎identified for the first time in the genus Lotus. The antimicrobial properties of the extracts of ‎the two Lotus species showed that the n-hexane extract of ‎both Lotus species may have potential antifungal activity against Candida parapsilosis and ‎Aspergillus flavus. Moreover, the methanolic extracts of both Lotus species have potential ‎antiviral activity against the coxsackie B virus, but only the L. arabicus extract showed ‎activity against the hepatitis A virus.‎ Conclusion: Lotus arabicus might have potential antifungal or antiviral activity greater than L. glaber.
Making Green Work: Implementation Strategies in a New Generation of Urban Forests
Authors: Muñoz Sanz Víctor , Romero Muñoz Sara , Sánchez Chaparro Teresa , Bello Gómez Lorena , Herdt Tanja
Published: March 2022

The concept of “urban forest” (UF) is gaining momentum in urban planning in the context of climate adaptation. Principles from the field of urban forestry are mainstreamed into urban planning, but little is known about effective tools for the successful implementation of new UFs. This article presents explorative research comparing how three cities (Almere, Madrid, and Boston) are dealing with the planning of a UF project, and their alignment with distinct organisational and typological interpretations of a UF. We employed a mixed-methods approach to gain insights into the main goals of the project, their organisational structure, and the employed planning process through the analysis of project documents and expert interviews. Our results point to an effective mainstreaming of environmental questions among stakeholders, but also indicate a poor development of objective criteria for the success of a UF. We note that municipal planners circumvented current internal rigidities and barriers by relying on intermediaries and local academia as providers of external knowledge, or by facilitating experiments. Finally, our results show that there may not be just one UF type to achieve the desired environmental and social goals and overcome implementation barriers. Conversely, each of the governance and organisational models behind the implementation of each type present collaborative and mainstreaming challenges. Therefore, we see an opportunity in further research examining processes and institutions towards the collaborative building of UFs that could bridge gaps between top-down and bottom-up approaches and activate different types of agencies.

Published: March 2022

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the pandemic disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Presently, COVID-19 has infected individuals in over seventy nations across the world. China had a significant COVID-19 impact and taken great measures to restrict the disease's development and increase the cure rate. Objective: Research paper describes the clinico-epidemiological profile of SARS-CoV-2 infection in individuals tested at state key Virology Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL), Pt. J.N.M. Medical College, Raipur (CG), India. Method: Respiratory samples oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs were collected in VTM from suspected COVID-19 individuals for laboratory analysis and cases were confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). A total of 32,145 patients with confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in this study. Data included in this study, from the period of August 2020 to February 2021, were collected from offline and online medical records.

We present a rare case of ocular ischemic syndrome with neovascular glaucoma secondary to Moya-Moya disease in a 49-year-old male patient with complaints of headache, giddiness and gradual diminution of vision in his left eye. A detailed ophthalmic examination followed by investigations of Optical coherence tomography and fundus fluorescein angiography along with carotid doppler and magnetic resonance angiography with Diamox intervention was performed and a diagnosis of ocular ischemic syndrome secondary to Moya-Moya disease has been made. The patient was advised pan retinal photocoagulation in both eyes with intravitreal ranibizumab injection in the left eye for macular edema under guarded visual prognosis. In spite of treatment with three sittings of pan retinal photocoagulation along with intravitreal ranibizumab, the patient’s vision deteriorated. It is one of the cases of ocular ischemic syndrome where there is no visual improvement in spite of treatment as it is secondary to a cause like Moya-Moya disease.

On solving uncooperative linear bilevel multi-follower programming problems
Authors: Moslemi Fatemeh , Sadeghi Habibeh
Published: March 2022

The relationship between the reference-uncooperative linear bilevel two-follower decision making and the multi-objective decision making has been recently considered (Sadeghi and Moslemi, 2019). In this paper, we address the foregoing relation for the

uncooperative linear bilevel multi-follower programming (ULBMFP) model with  followers. Furthermore, we consider some geometric properties of the feasible solutions set of the ULBMFP problem. Moreover an algorithm to find an optimal solution for the ULBMFP problem was proposed. Ultimately, some numerical examples to illustrate the proposed algorithm were provided.

Chesneau and Palacios considered the inﬁnite decomposability of the Geometric (Chesneau and Palacios(2021b), (paper 1)), and Gamma, Laplace and n-Laplace (Chesneau and Palacios(2021a), (paper 2)) of two (as well as n) independent random variables. They obtained, very nicely, certain important results on the decomposability concept. Also, George Yanev published a paper entitled” Exponential and Hyper exponential Distributions: Some Characterizations” (Yanev G.(2020), (paper 3)) and reported a paper entitled ”On Arnold-Villasenor Conjectures for Characterizing Exponential Distribution Based on Sample of Size Three” (Yanev(2020), (paper 4)). In both papers, George Yanev considered the distribution of the sum or a linear combination of the independent random variables. Yanev obtained certain nice results in these two papers under the assumption of independence of the summands. Roozegar and Bazyani published a paper entitled ”Exact Distribution of Random Weighted Convolution of Some Beta Distributions Through an Integral Transform” (Roozegar and Bazyari(2017), (paper 5)), in which they considered the exact distribution of the weighted average of n independent beta random variables and provided a new integral transformation with some of its mathematical properties. Ahmad et al.(2021) considered ”Compound Negative Binomial Distribution as the Sum of Independent Laplace Variates” (paper 6) and discussed inﬁnite divisibility of the underlining distribution. Furthermore, Marques et al.(2015) considered the distribution of the linear combinations of independent Gumbel random variables and obtain, very nicely, certain important results (paper 7). In this short note, we like to show that the very strong assumption of ”independence” can be replaced with a much weaker assumption of ”sub-independence” in all aforementioned papers. This short paper may be helpful to other investigators dealing with the random variables which are not necessary independent, but could be sub-independent.

Diarrhea is one type of disease with the most sufferers every year. Thus, it is considered an endemic disease in Indonesia and the potential disease of Extraordinary Events accompanied by mortality. One of the plants that can be used as a traditional medicine for diarrhea is the avocado seed, as it contains tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids and glycosides, which act as antidiarrheals. This study aims to determine the antidiarrheal effect of avocado seed extract suspension on mice induced by Oleum ricini and the optimum concentration of avocado seed extract suspension and capsules with an antidiarrheal effect in white male mice induced by Oleum ricini. The dosage forms chosen were suspension and capsules. This study used an experimental method with a test sample of the avocado seed. Avocado seed Simplicia was extracted by the percolation method, then an oral suspension and capsule formulation were made from the avocado seed methanol extract. It was evaluated and tested for its effectiveness with mice to cure diarrhea. Normal data were analyzed by One Way ANOVA and Post Hoc Tuckey Method. The results of this study showed that the administration of a suspension of avocado seed methanol extract at a dose of 800 mg/KgBB had the most optimum effect as an antidiarrheal against white male mice with a stool weight of 0.39 grams and a duration of diarrhea for 74 minutes. Furthermore, the administration of avocado seed extract capsules at a dose of 75 mg/KgBB had the most optimum effect as antidiarrheal against white male mice with Loperamide as a positive control. Therefore, it can be concluded that all suspension formulations and capsules of avocado seed methanol extract met the requirements for preparation evaluation. Suspension and avocado seed methanol extract capsules can cure diarrhea in white male mice.
Experimental Study of Soft Clay Soil Improvement by Deep Mixing Method
Authors: Salem Al-Qaisi Maysa , Al-Waily Maki Jafar Mohammed
Published: March 2022

The deep method (DMM) is a soil remediation method that involves on-site ‎mixing of soil with cement and/or other materials. These compounds, which ‎are also known as "bonding materials," can be applied dry or wet. The current ‎study involves the construction of 13 laboratory models to examine the means ‎of improving soft clay soil qualities through deep mixing techniques with ‎piling foundation. In the dry condition, static loading studies on piles and ‎DMM were carried out using tow materials, cement, and lime. The model ‎experiments included a single pile as well as groups of piles and cement or ‎lime columns. There were two, three, and four piles or columns in each group. ‎The model tests revealed that deep mixing had a significant impact on ‎increasing bearing capacity by averaged times ranging from 1.23 to 2.43 times ‎for soft clay soil treated with single and groups of four cement or lime ‎columns, respectively, as well as minimizing settlement by averaged ‎percentages ranging from 33% to 89 percent. These results were comparable ‎to those obtained using pile foundations in the same manner. The outcomes of ‎the model tests were also evaluated in terms of group efficiency.
“Metaphorically Speaking…”Paradigm And The Use Of Metaphor In Career Conversations
Authors: Woldendorp Jan
Published: March 2022

Since theorists like Inkson (2002), Mignot (2004), Amundson (2009) and McMahon & Watson (2012) have introduced metaphor as a valuable component in careers work, not a lot of empirical research has been added. To contribute to the need for empirical research, a qualitative study was performed to explore the actual use of metaphors in career conversations. The main aim of the study is to contribute to the theoretical and empirical knowledge base to enhance professional practices of career development. The research question was how career practitioners and their clients conceptualize careers in career conversations by the use of metaphor. The study also explored the differences in the use of metaphors when looking at the conversational role of the participants. For this purpose, the use of metaphor through two types of career practitioners as distinguished by NICE (career professionals and career advisors) was analysed. By applying the MIPVU metaphor identification procedure, 861 surface metaphors, clustered into 19 metaphor themes were identified in 18 recorded career conversations. All nine metaphor themes as identified by Inkson (2004) were found as well as the Game and Chaos metaphors as described by Prior & Bright (2009). Besides that, seven other metaphor themes were detected: Career as Physics, Liquids, Objects, Views, Constructs, Time(line), Projects and Art. Differences in the use of metaphor themes were found between clients and practitioners and between career advisors and career professionals. Based on the findings, career practitioners are recommended to actively develop awareness of their clients’ and their own paradigmatic thinking (deep metaphors) that is revealed by the use of metaphor. By doing so, they can consciously and instrumentally integrate that awareness in their professional repertoire. The academic field is recommended to expand empirical research on the role of metaphors, the paradigms that are revealed by them and the level of deliberateness and intentionality of metaphor use.

K.H. Muhammad Zaini Abdul Ghani, atau lebih terkenal dengan abah guru Ijai atau guru Sekumpul merupakan salah satu tuan guru dari keturunan dari Syekh Muhammad Arsyad al-Banjari. Banyak orang mengikuti ajaran dan menjadi murid beliau, karena kehidupan dan ilmu pengetahuan yang luar biasa terutama dalam hal agama islam. Beliau dikenal orang yang ramah lucu dan penyabar, sehingga siapapun yang ikut pengajian beliau akan merasakannya. Kematian KH. Zaini bin Abdul Ghani pada tahun 2005 membuat lautan air mata di Kalimantan Selatan khusunya. Haul beliau dilaksanakan setiap tahun di Martapura. Setiap tahun jamaah haul semakin banyak. Para jamaah tidak hanya berasal dari Kalimantan Selatan melainkan daerah lain seperti Hadramaut, Malaysia, dan Singapura. Karena haul inilah banyak terciptanya rest area atau warung gratis dengan bermacam-macam makanan, minumam, penginapan gratis, tambal ban gratis dan fasilitas lainnya. Inilah yang membuat hati penulis tertarik untuk meneliti geliat sedekah ini. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah wawancara, pustaka, dan dokumentasi melalui akses internet untuk mengumpulkan data. Hasil wawancara menunjukkan bahwa setiap tahun haul KH. Zaini bin Abdul Ghani mempunyai pengaruh besar terhadap masyarakat diantaranya adalah rasa semangat yang tinggi untuk meningkatkan ibadah sekaligus meningkatnya rasa solidaritas yang tinggi terhadap sesama, salah satunya adalah dengan cara bersedekah melalui berbagi, baik itu tenaga, harta maupun pikiran, tanpa membedakan satu sama lain.
