An Unrecognized Herbertian Source for Bishop’s “The Fish”
Authors: Mei Shenyou
Published: September 2022

George Herbert was a favorite poet of Elizabeth Bishop. This essay examines the relationship of Bishop’s “The Fish” to Herbert’s “The Collar.” Despite their differences in subject, image and diction, the poems’ structural design, rhyme scheme, tonal shifts, and above all, allusions to traditional Christian ideas have similarities that convincingly demonstrate Bishop’s debt to the earlier poet.
The Russian Roth

This article explores the sources and application of Philip Roth’s understanding of Russian writing and culture to his fiction. It examines Russian texts he owned, the influence of select authors, and the translations of Roth’s work in Russia. It also considers Roth’s reaction to the Cold War and offers an alternate triangle of influence: not Franz Kafka/Bruno Schulz/Primo Levi but Anton Chekhov/Fyodor Dostoevsky/Isaac Babel.
“My mother was my everything”: Police Murder, Family Loss and Deferred Dreams
Authors: Harris LaShawn D.
Published: September 2022

On December 9, 1984, a New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer fatally shot New York mother of three Sharon Walker. Police violence not only killed Walker: The bullet lodged in her body harmed all those who loved her, particularly her three teenage children. Broadening conversations on police violence, this article examines the diverse ways in which police violence and parental loss impact the lives of a less familiar community of police brutality survivors: children and teenagers. It employs the 1984 police murder of Sharon Walker and her children’s lives as a window into what anthropologist Christen Smith referred to as the “lingering, deathly aftereffects of police terror on the bodies of the living in the aftermath of police killings” (Smith, “Lingering Trauma” 370).
Atmospheric Black Breathlessness, A Dream Deferred
Authors: Merritte Kayci
Published: September 2022

This article argues that “a dream deferred,” as conceived by Langston Hughes in his book-length poem Montage of a Dream Deferred, is not a phrase defining a single moment but is instead a concept of continuity defining the ongoing atmospheric condition of existing within American racism. A dream deferred is analyzed here as a pervasiveness that can be understood as being of the air. It is an aerosolized anti-Blackness, polluted air, an atmosphere that makes it difficult to breathe—Black breathlessness. The concept indicates that the relatively nuanced atmosphere of Hughes’s postwar Harlem is also the explicit atmosphere of the present with its outspoken attention on interconnected issues, including anti-Black terror and disproportionate Black birthing parent mortality and pandemic impact. A dream deferred persists as the surround, the atmosphere, is the air itself, and is of and within Black breath and breathlessness.
“No Room for Fear”: Langston Hughes’s Defense of Urbanism
Authors: Pawel Rebecca
Published: September 2022

Langston Hughes’s Montage of a Dream Deferred observes Harlem’s griefs and difficulties, but unlike contemporary work about the neighborhood by other authors, his poetry resists the suburban impulse that swept the United States after World War II. “No Room for Fear” reads the Montage as a response to a postwar anti-urbanism that portrayed high-density cities as sites of physical and moral contagion, and exalted suburban living as a literal form of “social distance” that separated individuals by race and nuclear family of origin in the supposed interests of health and wellbeing. The article argues that Montage celebrates Harlem’s diversity as a good made possible only by the crowded conditions writers of social protest fiction deplored. It concludes by considering how Hughes’s defense of urbanism remains relevant seventy years later, when a new version of the suburban impulse trumpets the internet instead of the automobile as an instrument to “free” New Yorkers from dangerous proximity to people different from themselves.

El Norte del ecosistema de la Corriente de Humboldt, localizado a lo largo del Sudeste del Océano Pacífico, frente a Perú, es considerado uno de los más  productivos sistemas naturales en el mundo, siendo de gran relevancia el estudio del fitoplancton como base de la trama trófica marina. Tomando en cuenta las relaciones entre la superficie celular, biovolumen y máxima dimensión lineal de las células de las especies del fitoplancton, se encontraron 140 especies en el grupo funcional ‘R‘ (especies ruderales, adaptables a condiciones altas de mezcla); 133 especies en el grupo funcional ‘S’ (especies Stress-tolerantes, predominantes en condiciones oligotróficas y de alta luz) y 19 en el grupo funcional ‘C’ (especies colonizadoras, oportunistas, predominantes en condiciones mesotróficas y de alta luz). En el grupo funcional R destacaron las diatomeas elongadas, pennadas, dispuestas en cadenas; en el grupo funcional S se encontraron dinoflagelados, diatomeas centrales grandes y silicoflagelados; mientras que, en el grupo funcional C destacaron cocolitofóridos, algunos dinoflagelados mixotróficos y fitoflagelados. Los porcentajes de coincidencia entre la clasificación morfométrica de grupos funcionales del presente estudio y la clasificación ecológica, estuvieron entre 52 y 90%. Se propone el uso de estos grupos para evaluar las variaciones espacio-temporales del fitoplancton y su relación con las condiciones ambientales en el Norte del ecosistema de la Corriente de Humboldt, cuyos niveles de turbulencia son menores al de los fiordos chilenos.

Published: September 2022

Competition law in India strives to protect and promote competition in the market. Along with this objective, competition law also tries to protect consumer interest in different aspects. Consumers are protected under the Consumer Protection Act, Still, when competition in the market affects consumers adversely, the consumers can claim relief under the Competition Act. In the present scenario, various case laws have been adjourned by CCI on the ground that they fall within the ambit of the Consumer Protection Act and not Competition Law. Thus, it becomes necessary to understand the consumer protection aspect under the Competition law, and this article provides about the same. This paper analyses the dual purpose of competition law in protecting consumer interest and promoting competition in the market. It will help to evaluate the benefits available to the consumers in the traditional market as well as problems faced as a consequence of the development of technology with particular reference to issues about the definition of the relevant market in the digitalized world, which affects the consumers.

Authors: Chegini Shahin Nezamivand , Nazemi Ali
Published: September 2022

Contamination with human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most significant risk factors for developing genital cancer. Since there is no possibility of detecting the virus and its subtypes using conventional cell culture, biochemical and serological methods, the molecular methods including multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) have specific importance in accurate, rapid and definite diagnosis of this virus. The present study was done to identify the 8 routine genotypes of the papilloma virus using the novel Multiplex-PCR (M-PCR). Twenty epithelial cells of vaginal samples were collected from the molecular diagnosis laboratory. Novel primers for diagnosis of 16, 18, 31, 33, 52, 53, 56, and 58 genotypes of the HPV were designed using the NCBI website and BLAST tool. We specifically designed and synthesized based on different gene regions (E6-7 and L2) and optimized the reaction using the samples of 8 investigated types. Genomic DNA was extracted from the samples and the M-PCR technique was used to detect HPV genotypes. Types 52, 53 and 31 were detected in 5 samples (25%). The M-PCR system developed in this project was able to identify 7 types with 100% specificity and without reacting with other types.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of cell-mediated dysregulation characterized by relapses and remissions. The aetiology of OLP has been extensively studied for decades. The pathogenesis is unclear with a debatable malignant transformation. The pathogenesis and malignant transformation of OLP may be affected by viruses such as Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), and stress. HPV has been proved to be an etiological agent in oropharyngeal cancers and non-tobacco-associated leukoplakia.  The role of human papillomavirus in the pathogenesis of OLP and its malignant transformation has to be studied extensively. Aim: This study aims to detect the presence of HPV DNA in the biopsy samples of dysplastic and non-dysplastic OLP and thus determine the role the virus played in the malignant transformation of OLP. Materials and Methods: Biopsy samples comprising 250 OLP tissues were collected. The DNA was extracted from the fixed tissue by using the Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed using primers to amplify the HPV E6 gene. Results: Hundred and three out of 250 (41.2%) OLP cases were positive for HPV DNA.

Authors: Jasim Ali Mohammed , Alzurfi Sadiq Kadhum Lafta
Published: September 2022

Water safety is a prerequisite for sustainable global quantitative and qualitative development. Heavy metal pollution has become a major problem in our environment, where traditional heavy metal processing techniques were unsuccessful and expensive. In this study, biochar and magnetite biochar have been used as an efficient, low-cost, safe, and environmentally friendly method for heavy metal removal such as cadmium. The biochar has been prepared from palm fronds and then activated by sodium hydroxide before treatment with two concentrations (5 ppm and 10 ppm) of cadmium in the water. The biochar (BC) had a positive effect on improving the efficiency of removing cadmium (II). The percentage to remove cadmium was 98% when we added 0.5 g of biochar to the solution. On the other hand, we have prepared composite materials by mixing biochar with magnetite at the mole ratio of (2:1) to prepare magnetite-biochar (MBC). A property was added to the biochar prepared by adding Fe3O4 to the biochar, which led to the activation of the effective aggregates with a significant improvement in the adsorption performance of heavy metals while increasing the removal efficiency up to 100%.

One advantage is that the mammary gland, unlike most other organs, has the capacity to go through many cycles of growth, differentiation and anatomical structural development. Indeed, the mammary gland has evolved highly efficient processes (that straddle both lactation and post-lactational phases)  which regulate the balance between cell death and proliferation. This paper will discuss the molecular and cellular aspects of apoptosis in the mammary gland with a particular emphasis on the role of apoptosis in breast cancer development.
Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of macrolide resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from wound infection
Authors: Ali Haider Abdul-Amir , Al-Amara Saad Shakir Mahdi
Published: September 2022

Microbiologists are increasingly concerned about the rise in S. aureus MLSB (macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin B) drug resistance. Clindamycin has been effective in treating infections by S. aureus, and the variations in clindamycin sensitivity patterns cause treatment to fail. Inducible clindamycin resistance in S. aureus is expressed via erythromycin ribosome methylase genes. In the current study, 25 S. aureus isolates were identified by conventional chemical tests and the Vitek®2 system. Specific primers were used for the amplification of Macrolide genes by PCR. Among 25 S. aureus isolates, 23(92%) isolates were methicillin resistant and 2(8%) isolates were methicilin sensitive. The 5(20%) isolates showed resistance to Erythromycin and sensitivity to Clindamycin with a positive D test which was identified as inducible MLSB, while 2(8%) isolates showed resistance criteria for both Erythromycin and Clindamycin which identity as a constitutive MLSB and 18(92%) isolates were given the sensitivity for both Erythromycin and Clindamycin. The erm resistance genes (ermA, ermB,  ermC, ermF, and ermG) were detected in 5(20%), 17(68%), 25(100%), 24(96%),11(44%) respectively. The D-test, and Vitek ®2 system should be routinely done to avoid treatment failure due to clindamycin resistance.
NABARD’s role in strengthening india through rural infrastructure development fund (RIDF)
Authors: Mitra Satyaki
Published: September 2022

Economic and social infrastructures are crucial for developing rural India. Even a marginal improvement, in a scenario of poor rural infrastructure, could significantly boost economic development and human wellbeing. The development of rural infrastructure by improving basic infrastructure, such as roads, electricity, housing, health and education, water and sanitation, etc. and infrastructure for agriculture sector like irrigation, warehouses, market yards, etc. can make a big difference in the standard of living. Development of rural infrastructure can lead to improved mobility in terms of better availability of inputs and raw materials and access to market centres for the rural producers. Development of strong and sustainable economic infrastructure has always been the priority of the central government of India. It is in this respect, the creation of Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) was initiated by NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) in 1995-96 and by constructing Rural Infrastructure Indices (RIIs) in 2016, with the objective of providing low cost funds to the States to facilitate completion of the incomplete rural infrastructure projects and has emerged as a dependable source of public funding over the years.

Background: The addition of Magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) to postoperative Fentanyl Epidural infusions has been demonstrated to reduce the requirement for Fentanyl. Methodology: Group I (38 patients) got Epidural Fentanyl 50 mg (1 cc) diluted and made up to 6 cc with normal saline, whereas Group II (38 patients) received Epidural Fentanyl 50 μg (1 cc) + MgSO4 50 mg (4 units in insulin syringe of 50% solution) diluted and made up to 6 cc with normal saline. The effects of analgesia on pulse rate and blood pressure were measured as well as the duration of analgesia. Results: In this study, an average age of the study population was 41.25 ± 3.25 years in Group I and 42.14 ± 4.42 years in Group II. The pulse rate in Group-I increased significantly from 105 minutes compared to Group-II, whereas it remained steady in Group-II throughout the research duration. Systolic BP increased significantly in Group-I after 90 minutes compared to Group-II, but remained steady in Group-II. SPO2 and respiratory rates did not differ significantly.Conclusion: Adding magnesium sulphate to fentanyl in epidural analgesia increased the duration of analgesia while maintaining hemodynamic stability.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the resistant of three NiTi files, ProTaper (PTN), Hyflex EDM and 2Shape (TS) to cyclic fatigue after being immersed in a 2.5 percent NaOCl irrigant solution in different times (1&5 minutes) at 37°C. Materials and Methods: Seventy-two  heat treated files used in this study, divided into three main groups (n=24) according to their metallurgy group-1: PTN, group-2: Hyflex EDM and group-3: TS files each group then subdivided into three subgroups, subgroup-1 immersed in 2.5 percent NaOCl for 1minute at 37°C subgroup-2 immersed in 2.5 percent NaOCl for 5 minutes at 37°C and subgroup-3 did not undergo any immersion as a control group. All files were put through cyclic fatigue testing in a digital water bath at 37°C to imitate body temperature in a stainless-steel artificial canal. The time to fracture was recorded in minutes, then by multiplying the time to fracture by the rotations per minute, the number of cycles to fracture (NCF) was calculated. The data were checked for normality before running a one-way ANOVA with a post hoc test.

This study aimed to compare the sexual quality of life through pre-defined parameters of prostate cancer (PCa) patients with pre-and-post- volumetric modulated arc radiation therapy (VMAT) and to examine their association with the radiation doses of the penile bulb (PB) and patient peculiarity. In this retrospective study, we analyzed medical record data of 100 patients who received definitive external radiation therapy (RT) and hormone therapy (HT) for prostate cancer (PCa) between June to December 2017. Sexual activities were analyzed by the patient-reported outcomes and clinician quality of life indices observed scale before and after treatment. The outcome of sexual activities was observed about patients' age, the volume of the prostate, the level of the testosterone, comorbidity, smoking habits, staging of the tumours, therapy technology, hormonal therapy (HT) and penile bulb (PB) radiation doses. 84 (84%) of all patients (n=100) after 2 years of radiation had a poor erectile grade, and 43 (75%) of previously potent (n=57) patients were impotent following treatment. However, sexual desire prevailed in 59 (76%) of patients who had desire before treatment.

Indonesian criminal law system does not regulate pacific settlement mechanisms in the settlement of criminal cases. This does not correspond to reality where for certain types of crime, members of the society tend to resort to pacific settlements such as giving/seeking forgiveness or making peace agreements, which is done to make peace between the perpetrators and their victims, thus settling the case. This article is written based on research that is aimed at finding out the relationship between forgiveness and peace agreements, and the legal system that exist in Indonesia; analyzing the cause/motivation behind the preference for peaceful settlement mechanisms over criminal proceeding at a judiciary, and; analyzing the response of law enforcement officers to the result of peace agreement and reconciliation between victims and perpetrators.  Several conclusions were drawn as the results of this study; first, forgiveness and peace agreements in pacific settlements of criminal cases are carried out based on consensual basis between the parties involved; second, forgiveness and peace agreements in pacific settlement of criminal cases embody some of the values contained in the state ideology of Indonesia.
