Published: October 2021

Human being all over the world is suffering due to the recent outbreaks of COVID-19 and prevention of viral infections emerges as a critical issue in safeguarding public health. According to Ayurveda, COVID-19 is considered as an Agantuja Jwar in which Agantu (outside) agent attacking the body. It is Sansargajanya (Aupasargika Roga) causing epidemic or pandemic infection. As no treatment is found effective, diet plays an important role to improve immunity towards viral diseases. Relevant references were searched related to  diet described in Ayurveda treaties. Scientific research papers related to clinical studies on dietetic drugs were also searched. The concept of balanced diet for healthy living has been explained by various Acharyas of Ayurveda, Acharya Kashyapa mentioned that the stability of an individual health is dependent on Ahara and there is nothing best except diet for sustaining the life of human beings. He has also equated Ahara as Bheshaja (medicine) and nothing else is considered as Mahabheshaja (Superior Medicine). Here treatment is suggested as per symptoms available through patients and as per Ayurveda, dietary habits followed during COVID-19 and boosting immunity to fights against pandemic diseases through yoga and Rasayana Chikitsa.

Development of the measurement procedure and certified reference material of water mass fraction in a mineral oil
Authors: Medvedevskikh M. Yu. , Sergeeva A. S. , Karpov Yu. A.
Published: October 2021

The necessity of developing certified reference materials (CRM) for the composition of mineral oil with a certified value of the mass fraction of water, traceable to the State Primary Standard of units of mass fraction and mass (molar) concentration of water in solid and liquid substances and materials GET 173–2017 is revealed proceeding from the review of standardized methods for determining the quality of mineral oils and approved types of reference materials (CRMs). Mineral hydraulic oil MIL-H-5606 of CONOSTAN series manufactured by SCP SCIENCE (Canada) was chosen as the CRM material to control the accuracy of the results of water determination in mineral oils using IR spectrometers. A procedure for reproducing the mass fraction of water in a mineral oil using a standard installation based on coulometric titration according to Karl Fischer method from the composition of GET 173–2017 has been developed. The relative expanded uncertainty (atk= 2) of measurement results of the water mass fraction in mineral oil is 7.1%. The requirements to the metrological characteristics of CRM were formulated: the interval of permissible certified values, the limits of the permissible values of the absolute error atP= 0.95, and the permissible value of the absolute expanded uncertainty atk= 2. The choice of the method of packaging and conditions of CRM storage were analyzed. Taking into account the consistency of the measurement results of the water mass fraction obtained by coulometric titration according to Karl Fischer method and using a Fluid Scan infrared spectrometer manufactured by Spectro Inc., USA, the applicability of CRMs for metrological support of express IR spectrometers was demonstrated.
V. M. ZHIRMUNSKY AS A FOLKLORIST. ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL TYPOLOGY METHODS
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration,, Kovalevskaya Anna I.
Published: October 2021

The article considers the main stages in formation of the method for the comparative historical typology the first steps of which were made by A.N. Veselovsky in the second half of the 19 th century. For example, the point elaborated upon in “Historical Poetics” concerning consequential evolution of genres and poetic forms that reflect social reality became the starting point for the further development of that method. Work in this direction was continued later on by V.M. Zhirmunsky. At the beginning of his career in academia he dwelled upon the issues of literary theory and – while keeping “Historical Poetics” in high regard – continued Veselovsky’s work in the field of literary studies. However, turning to folklore material, he managed to develop the basic principles of the comparative historical method: first of all, he had analysed and systematised the extensive epic material, what allowed him to reveal in the folklore work the national and the general, for the successful search and analysis of which the method was necessary. The author analysis of the works of Zhirmunsky, that contain his main ideas, and considers not only his suggestions on how to work with folk material, and also the features of the comparative typological method, as well as the development of Zhirmunsky’s ideas in the works of his students, followers and scientists who came to a similar result on their own (for example, V.Ya. Propp) and influenced further refinement of the methods of comparative typology.

Local Wisdom of Balinese People Managing Water in Tirta (Holy Water) Concept
Authors: Muliarta I Nengah , Suanda I Wayan , Suriani Ni Luh
Published: October 2021

Water is a source of life on the surface of the earth because it becomes a necessity for every organism. The need for water continues to increase, but the availability of clean water continues to decrease. Efforts to preserve important water sources are made to meet current and future water needs. Hindus in Bali have long practiced water resources conservation and managing water quality through various forms of local wisdom. Local wisdom is passed down through generations of routine activities in daily life. Water as a gift because it gives life is placed as a holy one which is then referred to as holy water or tirta. The use of tirta in various ceremonial activities causes Hinduism in Bali to be often identified with tirta religion. For Balinese people, water is a symbol of Vishnu which is a manifestation of God as the preserver of world life. Positioning water as a sacred thing has the meaning of obligation to maintain the quality and quantity of water to be maintained. Positioning the water source as a sacred area is also a form of effort to protect the springs to avoid pollution. The ceremony of mendak tirta and mendak toya became a form of local wisdom on the procedures of water use and efficient use of water. The concept of nyegara-Gunung (sea-mountain) is one of the proofs that Balinese Hindus commit to maintaining the hydrological cycle, so that life is maintained.

Inguinal hernia – epidemiology, risk factors, treatment methods (literature review)
Authors: Oorzhak O. V. , Shost S. Y. , Mozes V. G. , Mozes K. B. , Pavlenko V. V.
Published: October 2021

Inguinal hernias (IH) are widespread in the human population and occur in 27–43 % of men and 3–6 % of women. Many risk factors for IH have been overestimated in the last decade: male gender is considered the leading factor (the ratio between men and women is approximately 1:7), less significant factors are heredity (most significant for women), physical activity (more significant for men), age (peak prevalence of IH occurs at 5 years and 70–80 years), congenital or acquired connective tissue dysplasia, history of prostatectomy, low body mass index.Hernioplasty with the use of synthetic mesh prostheses remains the most popular technique for surgical correction of IH. Performing non-prosthetic hernioplasty is only recommended if mesh prostheses are not available, for example in poor countries. In open hernioplasty using mesh prostheses, different methods are used today: Plug & Patch, Prolene Hernia System, Parietene Progrip, sutureless plastic according to Trabucco, Stoppa, preperitoneal techniques TIPP (trans-inguinal pre-peritoneal), TREPP (transrectus pre-peritoneal), TEP (total extraperitoneal), however, none of them showed significant advantages over the gold standard of open hernioplasty – tensionfree repair according to Liechtenstein.Laparoscopic IH correction is represented by the TAPP (transabdominal preperitoneal) technique, performed through the abdominal cavity, and TEP (total extraperitoneal) – extraperitoneal prosthetic hernioplasty. None of them has a significant advantage in the treatment of IH; therefore, when choosing a treatment method, the surgeon should be guided by the cost of the operation and the level of proficiency in one or another hernioplasty technique.

Authors: Antonova E. P. , Volodina A. D. , Ilyukha V. A.
Published: October 2021

Background. Due to the growing light pollution and the development of new territories, including northern ones, the search for drugs that increase the adaptive capacity of the organism is promising.The aim. We studied the effects of the exogenous melatonin (100 µg/day/animal) on antioxidant status of liver and small intestine in Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) in the light conditions of North-West of Russia (Petrozavodsk, northern lighting – NL).Materials and methods. Female hamsters were exposed to a 12/12 light/dark cycle (LD; n = 12) or NL for 3 months. In NL light conditions hamsters were divided into two groups: NL-control (received placebo; n = 12) and NL-mel (received melatonin; n = 12). The study was conducted from the period of the summer solstice – June 25 (NL: 19.36/4.24) to September 25 (NL: 12/12) (autumn equinox).Results. Animals were kept in the NL conditions had decreased the levels of GSH and activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase) at initial stage of experiment as well as increased TBA reactive substances (TBARS) level at the beginning and after a month of the experiment in the liver in comparison to control (LD). It was observed that in the small intestine the activities of SOD and the levels of GSH (initial and intermediate stages) and TBARS (end of the experiment) were significantly higher in NL in comparison to LD. Liver and small intestine TBARS concentrations after one and three months of the experiment were decreased in NL-mel in comparison to NL-control.Conclusion. The results of the study indicate the sensitivity of the antioxidant defense system in the tissues of the liver and small intestine of Syrian hamster to the photoperiod and exogenous melatonin. The present study revealed that exogenous melatonin was able to reduce the level of TBARS and increase the activity of SOD and CAT in the light conditions of North-West of Russia.
Genetic basis of anthracyclines cardiotoxicity: Literature review
Authors: Sinitsky M. Yu. , Tsepokina A. V. , Khutornaya M. V. , Ponasenko A. V. , Sumin A. N.
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this review was to systematize data on molecular genetic markers of increased risk of cardiotoxic effects, as well as to search for risk and protective variants of candidate genes. Today, the therapy of malignant neoplasms is based on the use of anthracyclines – drugs of the cytostatic mechanism of action. Along with their effectiveness, these drugs can have a cardiotoxic effect on cardiomyocytes by increasing the amount of reactive oxygen species and disrupting mitochondrial biogenesis. Pathological disorders lead to an increased risk of myocardial dysfunction and a number of other cardiovascular pathologies in patients receiving chemotherapy using anthracyclines. The cardiotoxic effect of anthracyclines leads to cardiomyopathy, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and thrombosis. Early detection of cardiotoxic damage leads to reducing the negative effects of these drugs due to changes in chemotherapy tactics. It is known that the risk of cardiotoxic myocardial damage is genetically determined and controlled by more than 80 genes. In this review, the description of basic molecules such as ATP-binding cassette transporters and solute carrier family (SLC transporters), carbonyl reductase, molecules of antioxidant defense, xenobiotic and iron metabolism was performed. In addition, a special attention is paid to the study of epigenetic and post-translational regulation. The available data are characterized by some inconsistency that may be explained by the ethnic differences of the studied populations. Thus, a more detailed research of various ethnic groups, gene-gene interactions between potential candidate genes and epigenetic regulation is necessary. Thus, understanding the contribution of genetic polymorphism to the development of cardiotoxicity will help to assess the individual risks of cardiovascular pathology in patients with various types of cancer, as well as reduce the risk of myocardial damage by developing individual preventive measures and correcting chemotherapy.

Authors: Domenico Prisa  , Marco Gobbino
Published: October 2021

Research goal: The aim of this work was to develop a sustainable and innovative organic cultivation protocol, usable by local Italian companies, based on the use of microbial biostimulants (beneficial bacteria and fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizae and algae) able to improve the growth and quality production of the medicinal gel of Aloe vera. Materials and Methods: The experiments, started in December 2020, were conducted in the greenhouses of CREA-OF in Pescia (Pt), Tuscany, Italy (43°54′N 10°41′E) on Aloe vera (4 year old plants). The experimental groups were: i) group control, irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized; ii) group with Effective microorganisms irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized; iii) group with Trichoderma spp. irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized; iv) group with arbuscular mycorrhizae irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized; v) group with Ascophyllum nodosum irrigated with water and substrate previously fertilized. Results and Discussion: The experiment showed a significant improvement in agronomic parameters and physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics analysed on plants treated with microbial and algae-based biofertilizers. In particular, there was a significant improvement in the number of leaves per plant, new shoots, fresh vegetative weight, root and gel weight and the inflorescences number. On the leaves of the treated theses, there was a significant increase in leaf length and width and an improvement in gel pureness (optical density). There was also an increase in the number of microorganisms in the treated substrates and a lowering of the pH of the growing medium. The test also showed a lowering of the pH of the gel and a significant increase in soluble solids, sugars and fiber content in the theses inoculated with Effective microorganisms and a significant increase in fructose, glucose, proline and aloin. Conclusions: The trial confirms the significant results already obtained in other trials on vegetable, ornamental and Aloe plants by applying biofertilizing microorganisms and algae. The aim of this work was to develop an organic cultivation protocol based on microbial and algae treatments that can be used to improve the quality of Aloe vera plants. This protocol can be applied in general by those companies that are dedicated to the production of ornamental and fruit cacti and succulents and want to reduce or even eliminate the use of plant protection products

Multicultural awareness is very crucial for every student, as well as self-regulated learning. Until now, research on these two variables is still min-imal. Moreover, there are no studies that examine the factors that influence the relationship between the two variables. This study aims to explore the relation-ship between multicultural awareness and self-regulated learning in students and discuss the role of students' personal profile in the relationship between the vari-ables. The respondents of this study were 165 students of the City of Surabaya, Indonesia. The structural equation model is used for data analysis techniques. The results showed that hypothesis 1 was accepted, meaning a positive and sig-nificant effect of multicultural awareness on self-regulated learning. The path co-efficient was 0.284, while the t-statistics were more significant than 1.96 (2,544) or p-values less than 0.05 (0.011). Whereas in hypothesis 2, it is rejected, the path coefficient is -0.230 while the t-static is less than 1.96 (1,811) or the p-value is more significant than 0.05 (0.071). In conclusion, personal profiles do not affect the relationship between multicultural awareness-ness and self-regulated learn-ing. This study's recommendation is to provide information on need assessments useful in determining appropriate counseling strategies at the University.

Online learning in higher education is a necessity. This is in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education. Nahdlatul Ulama University Surabaya is one of the private universities in Surabaya. Since a few years ago, online learning has been implemented by UNUSA. The type of learning applied is blended / hybrid learning. However, Pandemic Covid-19 forced UNUSA to implement online learning fully. The application of online learning in educational institutions often presents challenges. Successful change requires an understanding of the current conditions. This study aims to identifying the current condition of online learning implementation in UNUSA based on Prosci ADKAR Model. This study is conducted into three steps, namely mapping the stakeholder, identifying the list of change , and identyfing the current state of the university. The current conditions are mapped to activities that must be carried out for each ADKAR element.

Large span domes have always drawn architects’ and engineers’ interest as they provide as easy method of roofing large areas with architectural beauty. Single layer Schwedler Dome composed of Circular Hot Hollow Frame (CHHF) is investigated to understand the effects of individual member removal to the behaviour and stability of single layer dome. The major issues of the structural system are related to its instability phenomena whereby it is vulnerable to snap through buckling. The failure of space structure such as Sultan Zainal Abidin Stadium and Bucharest Dome clearly show an understanding of such failure and the behaviour of the space structure is important to develop a safer structure especially in the future. This study deals with a single layer dome having a diameter of 52 m and the span to depth ratio of ½. The loads subjected on the nodes of the structure consists of dead, live and wind loads and assumed to be 1kN each. Due to the symmetric geometry of the dome, the removals were done on the quarter section of the dome only assumed that the loads distribution patterns are similar for each section. This study required 210 members’ removals and the result obtained has been analysed thoroughly. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, computer programming such as FORMIAN, AutoCAD and SAP2000 V18 have been used to generate the geometry of the dome and afterwards analysed the stability of the structure. The numerical technique is based on redistribution of internal loadings due to member’s failure. Critical members are determined by analyzing the Demand Capacity Ratio (DCR) value of each member and identifying the number of overstressed neighboring members. When the internal load of a neighboring member exceeds its loading capacity, the member becomes overstressed and fails which may lead to major collapse of the entire structure. The value of the DCR and the numbers of overstressed members existed in the structure after the removals show the criticality of the section. As a conclusion, this critical area must be considered during analysis, design and construction stage of the dome.

Planning for a construction project is a formidable task which involves a huge investment with multiple stakeholders such as clients, consultants, and contractors. A tender is a submission of a technical, administrative, and contractual material made by a potential contractor in response to an invitation to tender by the project client. Established contractors normally realise the importance of doing initial research before committing themselves to enter the tender. Normally, tender pre-qualification is a strict process. A low-quality tender submitted due to problems such as insufficient time and incomplete tender documents normally lead to tender rejection by the client. Thus, this research aimed to provide a strategy to help the contractors in deciding whether they should or should not submit a tender at the initial tendering decision phase. The literature review was focused on the key factors identified in influencing the decision-making process and in the final part, the initial conceptual model was established
Segment tip geometry of sheet intrusions, I: Theory and numerical models for the role of tip shape in controlling propagation pathways
Authors: Walker Richard , Stephens Tara , Greenfield Catherine , Gill Simon , Healy Dave , Poppe Sam
Published: October 2021

Inferences about sheet intrusion emplacement mechanisms have been built largely on field observations of intrusion tip zones: magmatic systems that did not grow beyond their observed state. Here we use finite element simulation of elliptical to superelliptical crack tips, representing observed natural sill segments, to show the effect of sill tip shape in controlling local stress concentrations, and the potential propagation pathways. Stress concentration magnitude and distribution is strongly affected by the position and magnitude of maximum tip curvature κmax. Elliptical tips concentrate stress in-plane with the sill, promoting coplanar growth. Superelliptical tips concentrate maximum tensile stress (σmax) and shear stress out-of-plane of the sill, which may promote non-coplanar growth, vertical thickening, or coplanar viscous indentation. We find that σmax =  Pe(1+ 2(√[aκmax]), where Pe is magma excess pressure and a is sill half length. At short length-scales, blunted tips locally generate large tensile stresses; at longer length-scales, elliptical-tipped sills become more efficient at concentrating stress than blunt sills.

What difference do open educational resources (OER) make compared with publisher content (non-OER) when costs and instructors remain constant? A total of 215 community college students enrolled in online, introductory courses were randomly assigned to OER or non-OER sections and compared on retention at the tuition drop date, completion with a C or better, course completion, and mean final exam scores. Students in the OER sections were retained and persisted at a statistically significant higher rate, lending credibility to the findings of former studies regarding retention and persistence rates in courses taught with OER materials. No statistically significant differences were found on completion rates or final exam scores. OER course materials should be considered in broader initiatives for student success in community colleges.
Using bio-manipulation to optimise soil nitrogen and phosphorus availability within intensive farm systems
Authors: Abbruzzese Vito
Published: October 2021

In many farm systems, both inorganic and organic fertilisers, including manure and slurry, are applied to soil to replenish nutrient offtake in agricultural products and additional nutrient losses to surface water and groundwater. The use of manure/slurry as a nutrient resource offers important advantages over a sole reliance on inorganic fertilisers, including the reuse and recycling of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) within farming systems and a reduction in the reliance of agricultural production on finite inorganic fertiliser reserves. There is increasing interest in the extent to which additives are able to enhance the nutrient value of slurry/manure. However, little is known about the effects of these modified slurries/manures on the quantity and composition of N and P within agricultural soils. We report data from batch soil experiments in which soils received a range of treatments, including the application of livestock slurry that had received a combined SlurryBugs™ and SlurryBooster™ additive. Past research has shown that SlurryBugs™ and SlurryBooster™ additives have a range of potentially beneficial effects on livestock slurry, including increased total N content of the slurry. Our experiments were designed to understand how slurry that has received additives ultimately affects nutrient availability in organic, clay-loam and sandy-loam grassland soils. We consider the effects of our treatments on a range of agronomically-important soil parameters, including Olsen-P, mineral-N, available-K, pH and organic matter content. Through our experiments, we aim to understand the extent to which soil fertility can be enhanced through the application of slurries/manures that have received additives.
