Published: January 2023

The experiment was conducted in the orchard of the Department of Horticulture and landscape - College of Agriculture - University of Tikrit in season of 2018 to study the effect of the addition of phosphate fertilizer on the characteristics of vegetative growth and the chemical content of the seedlings of three varieties of olives. The experiment includes the study of the effect of two factors, the first is the phosphate fertilizer Di Amino Phosphate (DAP) It has an F symbol with four levels: 0, 75, 150, 225 g. and the second was the V symbol, where three varieties of olives were used: Nepali, Ashrassi and Khadiri. The experiment is carried out according to the design of the complete random block (RCBD) with three replicates. The data were statistically analyzed and compared with the Duncan test 5% probability. The most important results can be summarized as follows: The results of the study showed that fertilizing treatment 225 gm seedlings-1 significantly affected the characteristic percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and carbohydrates in leaves and branches and reached 1.34, 0.79, 0.93, 6.39, 5.14%, respectively, compared to the comparison treatment and did not differ significantly. In the leaf content of chlorophyll with the rest of the levels. The cultivars had a significant effect, as the two varieties were the Khadiri Ashersi cultivars over the Nepali variety in terms of the percentage of nitrogen in the leaves, which amounted to 1.30, 1.31%, respectively, while the Nepali and Ashrassi cultivars exceeded the Khadiri variety in The percentage of potassium in the leaves was 0.88, 0.% in succession, and the Nepalese cultivar outperformed the other two cultivars in the percentage of carbohydrates in the leaves and branches amounted to 5.27, 4.41%. And the interference between the fertilizer level gave 225 g. Seedlings -1 The Nepali cultivar showed a significant increase in the characteristic of each percentage of phosphorus in the leaves, which amounted to 0.80% and thepercentage of carbohydrates in the leaves and branches 7.16 and 5.94%, respectively, and gave fertilization overlapping at 225 g. Seedlings-1 The cultivar has significantly increased the percentage of nitrogen and potassium in the leaves of 1.51 and 0.97%, respectively.
Nitration of Phenolic Compounds with Magnesium nitrate and acetic acid
Authors: Ray Sutapa
Published: January 2023

Nitration of aromatic compounds is an indispensible reaction for organic chemists. Various metal nitrates are being used now-a-days as an eco-friendly nitrating agent instead of harsh strong acids, namely, nitric and sulfuric acids. A mixture of calcium nitrate and acetic acid, as well as a mixture of magnesium nitrate and alumina sulfuric acid, are reported to be used as nitrating agent. Inferring from these ideas, a mixture of magnesium nitrate and acetic acid (glacial or about 80% aqueous) is introduced for the first time as a fairly efficient nitrating agent for phenolic compounds successfully.

Authors: Napagoda Mayuri , Prathibha Eranda , Nifras Mohamed
Published: January 2023

The release of lysosomal hydrolytic enzymes plays a major role in inflammation. The resemblance of lysosomal membrane to red blood cell (erythrocyte) membrane is widely employed in evaluating the effect of plant extracts in stabilization of cellular membranes and thereby to predict the possible anti-inflammatory potential. Thus the present study was undertaken to evaluate the red blood cell membrane stabilization potential in eight medicinal plants that have been utilized as anti-inflammatory remedies in Sri Lankan traditional medicine. The hydroalcoholic extracts of Argyreia populifolia, Atalantia ceylanica, Hibiscus furcatus, Leucus zeylanica, Mollugo cerviana, Munronia pinnata, Olax zeylanica and Plectranthus zeylanicus were prepared and 10% suspensions of red blood cells in normal saline were incubated with 1000 µg/mL of each extract. The absorbance of the released hemoglobin was measured spectrophotometrically. Diclofenac sodium was used as the reference drug. Based on the results of the preliminary assay, the most potent extracts that possesses ≥ 50% stabilization potential (i.e. H. furcatus, L. zeylanica and P. zeylanicus) were subjected to concentration-response studies and EC50 values were determined. H. furcatus extract has shown the highest membrane stabilizing potential with an EC50 of 51.92 Âµg/mL which is even better than the reference drug (EC50=131.9 µg/mL). Moreover, a significant activity was observed in L. zeylanica (EC50 = 81.35 µg/mL) while a considerable membrane stabilization potential was detected in P. zeylanicus (EC50=219.6 µg/mL) as well. Thus, the present study revealed that the plants utilized in folklore medicine in Sri Lanka as anti-inflammatory remedies are capable of stabilizing the cellular membranes.

Authors: Barai Abir Chandan , Bag Braja Gopal
Published: January 2023

Kakoli (Roscoea purpurea) is an important ingredient of Chyawanprash which is well known for its anti-ageing activities since the pre-historic period. While investigating the chemical constituents of Kakoli, herein we report the first isolation and spectroscopic characterization of a phytosterol stigmasterol 1 from the leaves of Roscoea purpurea. The molecule constitute a rigid 6-6-6-5 tetracyclic backbone with one secondary hydroxyl group attached at the 'A'-ring and one branched C10 hydrocarbon chain in the other end of the molecule. Energy minimized structure revealed that the molecule is 1.73 nm long having a polar 'OH' group attached at the end of an almost planar lipophilic steroidal skeleton making it useful as a functional nano-entity.
Green chemistry and sustainable development
Authors: Rana Abhinandan
Published: January 2023

Chemistry is truly very helpful to us as its applications are used globally for numerous purposes. Almost all products have been manufactured involving one or more chemical processes. Therefore, we cannot imagine our life without the products produced by the chemical industry. However, to obtain our desired products, always a large amount of wastes and hazardous materials are generated.
“Green Chemistry” is the universally accepted term which describes the movement towards more environmentally acceptable chemical processes and products. It was established about two decades ago and has attracted much attention. It reflects
the efforts of academia and industry to address the challenges related to sustainable development of the chemical industry, and continuous progress is being made, both in academia and industry. Briefly, green chemistry is the utilization of a set of principles to
reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and applications of chemical products. It is a tool in achieving sustainability, not a solution to all environmental problems. The slogan “benign by design” summarizes the ethos of green chemistry, and 12 principles guide its implementation.
Liquid Crystals: A Fascinating Fourth State of Matter
Authors: Bhat Sachin A. , Kanakala Madhu Babu , Yelamaggad Channabasaveshwar V.
Published: January 2023

Liquid crystals (LCs) are a distinct phase of matter whose structural order is intermediate between conventional liquids and solids. They have attracted considerable attention not only because they form the basis of every living being but also due to their ability to show a range of unique properties that are promising from the viewpoints of both fundamental research and applied science. LC phases formed by shapeanisotropic organic molecules such as rod-like and disk-shaped (so-called conventional mesogens) have been investigated exhaustively over the years. Consequently, they have been employed in different technological applications. However, during the last two decades or so, several new mesogenic motifs differing in their shape-anisotropy from conventional LCs have been realized not only to understand the structure-property correlations but also to widen their functional characteristics required for many other non-display applications, including their usage in the organic field-effect transistors, organic photovoltaics, light emitting diodes etc.
Chemical Safety Concern Led to Small-scale Chemistry and Green Chemistry

Published: January 2023

My interest in chemical safety has led me to focus on small-scale chemistry and
green chemistry, which enables me to introduce the low-cost and practical hands-on chemistry experiments to schools and universities in Thailand and ASEAN countries. These experiments include the organic chemistry using the Small-Lab Kit, the portable organic lab kit invented by me. It has the benefit of saving chemicals and energy, as well as reducing experimental time and waste, but most importantly increasing chemical safety to the students and laboratory staff. In addition, I have voluntarily serviced for several scientific and science-related non-profit organizations which I can contribute more to the scientific community and also learn some new things at the same time
John Keats and the Sensevil Sublime
Authors: Narayan Hore Shouvik
Published: January 2023

This essay is divided into two sections. In the first, I argue the conditions for the Keatsean Sensevil Sublime, drawing upon adequate resources from political (Hobbesian) and aesthetic categories (Longinus, Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant) to showcase the expansions and limitations of this Sublimity. A close-reading of “This Living hand, now warm and capable” (Written approximately in December, 1819, published posthumously, 1898) will enhance the literariness of my argument. Gradual difference, and deference from the ‘sensible’, the most recognizable Romantic characteristic of Keatsean poetry, is observed when the agencies of comprehension, ideological subjectiveness and moral superiority are conflated with Burkean, psycho-spiritual terror and its Longinian equivalent in simplicity, nobility and rhetoric. In the final section, the aforementioned sublime, evolving within putrefying sensibility against the ideological implications of the Wordsworthian egotistical sublime through de-personification of the ego and its somatocentric repositioning, shall be utilized in unearthing the potential of Keats’s less-researched sensevil sonnet, “Why did I laugh tonight? No voice can tell”, terminating in the generalization of such features and its specific contribution to the larger Romantic repository of the Keatsean sublime vis-à-vis Wordsworth.
Pension expenditure in Spain: a European comparison
Authors: Martín Miguel Ángel , Ramos Roberto
Published: January 2023

Rationale. There is significant disparity in the pension expenditure-to-GDP ratio across European countries. This article examines the size of the Spanish pension system relative to those of other EU countries and analyses the drivers behind the differences observed.

Takeaways. • In 2019, pension expenditure in Spain, relative to the size of its economy, was above the EU’s simpleaverage and similar to the GDP-weighted average. • In comparison with the EU in 2019, the ageing process was less advanced in Spain and pensionscheme coverage was lower. In contrast, Spain had a lower employment rate and a higher level ofbenefits relative to the average wage. • Demographic projections suggest that pension expenditure in Spain will increase significantly. Slightlymore than 40% of this increase could be offset if Spain’s employment rate were to rise to equal that ofGermany.
A house price-at-risk model to monitor the downside risk for the Spanish housing market
Authors: Ganics Gergely , Rodríguez-Moreno María
Published: January 2023

We present a house price-at-risk (HaR) model that fits the historical developments in the Spanish housing market. By means of quantile regressions we show that a model including quarterly house price growth, a misalignment measure and a consumer confidence index is able to accurately forecast the developments in the Spanish housing market up to two years ahead. We also show how the HaR model can be used to monitor the downside risk.

Authors: Bolívar-Castañeda Alejandra
Published: January 2023

Considerando la importancia de la función social de las revistas científicas para la divulgación y construcción de conocimiento, y la necesidad de la reflexión sobre sus procesos editoriales y su impacto en la comunidad académica, se plantea un análisis bibliométrico descriptivo y retrospectivo de los artículos publicados en la revista Oralidad-es, desde el origen de su primera publicación (año 2015) hasta el año 2021, con el objetivo de describir las dinámicas de los artículos publicados, plantear nuevas líneas para mejorar los procesos de la revista y presentar un panorama que les permita a lectores y autores pensar en nuevas contribuciones para la consolidación de una comunidad que estudia y posiciona la oralidad desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar. A partir del análisis se evidencia un énfasis sobre los aspectos educativos en los estudios de la oralidad publicados y un predominio de la metodología cualitativa en los avances y resultados de investigación presentados.
Psicoanálisis de nuestra cultura como reflexibilidad y contribución a la práctica dialógica en educación
Authors: Pegueros Sanchez Joaquin
Published: January 2023

Esto es un recorrido de manera conceptual y multidisciplinar hacia las raíces de nuestra cultura, donde la etapa colonial deja una huella violenta, de ruptura y dolorosa; que ha quedado cuasi olvidada, pero nos determina como el psicoanálisis, que parte de la fuerza interna del individuo al hacer consciente el pasado para superar las condiciones actuales de algo que obstaculiza el paso cualitativo a un estado superior de evolución cultural. La superación de algún estado crítico solo puede darse desde la fuerza propia del individuo que va al encuentro de una etapa de su historia que, aunque lejana, determina su presente.

Este trabajo hace parte de una investigación cualitativa encaminada al análisis de la narrativa como recurso didáctico para el desarrollo de una literacidad y oralidad críticas durante los trayectos de formación universitaria. Se trata de un estudio de caso con estudiantes de primer grado de la licenciatura en Comunicación de una institución superior privada, en el área metropolitana de Guadalajara, México, el cual reveló la importancia del uso de microrrelatos para el desarrollo de habilidades, destrezas y competencias comunicativas en torno a la construcción de un pensamiento crítico. El análisis metodológico se posicionó en un paradigma sociocrítico y un paradigma alterno discursivo-formativo; entre los resultados obtenidos se puede observar cómo el uso la oralidad y narratividad mejoran significativamente los procesos de construcción textual y discursiva de los alumnos, resaltando especialmente a la identidad narrativa y las historias de vida como elementos importantes para la construcción de conocimientos, pensamiento autónomo y una relación de inclusión sociocognitiva.
José Antonio Corrales en Sotogrande, Monte-hombre
Authors: Martín Domínguez Nicolás
Published: January 2023

Conocer a José Antonio Corrales me permitió descubrir su atención y sensibilidad precisas hacia el lugar: mis visitas a su estudio, las charlas con él, sus dibujos y proyectos inéditos, junto a sus poemas. Se presentan aquí documentos que nos ayudan a profundizar en su pensamiento. También algunos de sus versos desconocidos que reflejaban sus impresiones y que me abrieron una nueva faceta suya, íntima e imprevista. Una nueva perspectiva desde donde comprender su obra. Tres proyectos en Sotogrande, Cádiz, de la misma fecha. Para el Parador, ya publicado, la documentación inédita nos descubre nuevas claves para su entendimiento. Y dos casas no publicadas. En las tres obras, los procesos cautivan tanto como sus resultados, reflejando el encuentro de Corrales con la tierra. Si el verdadero lugar se proyectaba sobre su sensibilidad, Corrales responderá con su arquitectura, proyectándose en ella, y por tanto también sobre el lugar como respuesta.
Fuera de Contexto
Authors: Arias Madero Javier
Published: January 2023

Este artículo pretende explorar la experimentación dentro de OMA con los edificios-objeto como elementos autónomos con respecto al contexto en el que se sitúan, y de cómo esta praxis de des contextualización de la intervención tiene una clara raíz surrealista, movimiento de vanguardia que Koolhaas reivindica desde su época de estudiante en Architectural Association de Londres.

Los conceptos de extrañamiento, detournement y objet trouvé, propios del surrealismo y de otras vanguardias herederas del grupo de Breton como el arte conceptual y las performances, serán mecanismos habituales en OMA durante los más de 40 años desde su formación. Edificios anónimos, misteriosos, casi siempre de escala descomunal, que pertenecen al ámbito de lo amoral y, como ya profetizó Koolhaas en Delirious New York, una nueva especie de mutantes, de monstruos colosales, que concibe y dispersa por las principales metrópolis del mundo.
Realidades ficticias

Published: January 2023

La arquitectura se ve cada vez más involucrada con las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. En tiempos de vertiginosos cambios, esta disciplina se dispone a debatir los aportes de los nuevos instrumentos a la labor diaria. En cuanto a la transmisión de información gráfica encontramos la realidad virtual, una alternativa que plantea nuevas posibilidades en el marco del ejercicio disciplinar. Si bien el debate sobre su uso se ubica en el plano actual, al tomar el concepto de realidad virtual, como hecho arquitectónico, nos permite remontarnos a finales de los 70, cuando aún las TIC ofrecían un incipiente desarrollo. Es el caso la serie de proyectos titulados Ciudades de la Arqueología Ficticia, de Eisenman. Con relación a lo indicado, el objetivo del artículo es valorar en qué medida las Ciudades de la Arqueología Ficticia anticiparon la realidad virtual como medio de proyección arquitectónica, en el estudio de Eisenman.

COVID-19 e dengue são doenças causadas por vírus, mas a transmissão ocorre de maneira diferente: a dengue é transmitida pela picada do mosquito Aedes aegypti. Já a COVID-19 é transmitida por gotículas de secreções respiratórias de uma pessoa infectada pelo SARS-CoV-2. Febre, cefaleia, mialgia e fadiga são sintomas comuns às duas doenças, de forma que pode ser difícil diferencia-las. O Brasil enfrenta epidemias de dengue desde 1986. Tivemos três epidemias nacionais explosivas, em 2002, 2008 e 2010. Posterior a isso os casos caíram e voltaram a aumentar em 2019. A pandemia de COVID-19 surgiu pouco antes de a dengue atingir seu pico sazonal, resultando em um surto de ambas as condições nas primeiras semanas de 2020. Saber o impacto da ocorrência simultânea dessas doenças é importante para programar ações no território nacional.
Tanzania’s National Financial Inclusion Framework and How It Facilitated Financial Inclusion: A Forgotten Political-Economic Story
Authors: Mhella Deogratius Joseph
Published: January 2023

This article brings the National Financial Inclusion Framework (NFIF) into the political-economic literature and discussions lacking in political-economic debates. Financial inclusion has become a global political-economic agenda that tries to reverse the higher levels of financial exclusion globally. However, political-economic and development literature has done little to discuss the issues of financial inclusion and exclusion as we currently perceive them through a neoliberal lens and innovative financial activities. These activities may include inclusive digital financial services such as mobile money. This article tries to answer the following research question: ‘how does the NFIF support financial inclusion in Tanzania?’ This article explores the NFIF, its successes and issues in Tanzania. The content analysis of relevant official documents and the literature, on the one hand, and the in-depth unstructured interviews, on the other, have been used as the primary data collection methods. The findings indicate that the NFIF has been instrumental in facilitating the success of financial inclusion in Tanzania, despite its issues. From Tanzania’s study, the conclusion is that given a conducive and supporting environment, the NFIF has facilitated the success of financial inclusion in Tanzania.

Introduction:

Understanding the relationship between spinal fusion and its effects on relative spinopelvic alignment in patients with prior total hip arthroplasty (THA) is critical. However, limited data exist on the effects of long spinal fusions on hip alignment in patients with a prior THA. Our objective was to compare clinical outcomes and changes in hip alignment between patients undergoing long fusion to the sacrum versus to the pelvis in the setting of prior THA.

Methods:

Patients with a prior THA who underwent elective thoracolumbar spinal fusion starting at L2 or above were retrospectively identified. Patients were placed into one of two groups: fusion to the sacrum or pelvis. Preoperative, six-month postoperative, one-year postoperative, and delta spinopelvic and acetabular measurements were measured from standing lumbar radiographs.

Results:

A total of 112 patients (55 sacral fusions, 57 pelvic fusions) were included. Patients who underwent fusion to the pelvis experienced longer length of stay (LOS) (8.31 vs. 4.21, P < 0.001) and less frequent home discharges (30.8% vs. 61.9%, P = 0.010), but fewer spinal revisions (12.3% vs. 30.9%, P = 0.030). No difference was observed in hip dislocation rates (3.51% vs. 1.82%, P = 1.000) or hip revisions (5.26% vs. 3.64%, P = 1.000) based on fusion construct. Fusion to the sacrum alone was an independent predictor of an increased spine revision rate (odds ratio: 3.56, P = 0.023). Patients in the pelvic fusion group had lower baseline lumbar lordosis (LL) (29.2 vs. 42.9, P < 0.001), six-month postoperative LL (38.7 vs. 47.3, P = 0.038), and greater 1-year ∆ pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (−7.98 vs. 0.21, P = 0.032).

Conclusion:

Patients with prior THA undergoing long fusion to the pelvis experienced longer LOS, more surgical complications, and lower rate of spinal revisions. Patients with instrumentation to the pelvis had lower LL preoperatively with greater changes in LL and pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis postoperatively. No differences were observed in acetabular positioning, hip dislocations, or THA revision rates between groups.

Published: January 2023

COVID-19 salgını tüm yaş grubundaki bireylerin yaşam ve çalışma koşullarını derinden etkileyen ekonomik ve sosyal krize dönüşmüştür. Ancak salgının gençler üzerindeki etkisi yetişkinlerden daha fazla olmuştur. Salgın sürecinde gençler öncelikle işgücü piyasası ve eğitim alanında yeni eşitsizliklerle karşı karşıya kalmışlardır. Ayrıca salgın öncesi dönemde var olan sorunların artması ile birlikte salgın döneminde gençlerin fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlığı ile ilgili yeni sorunlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışma, ilk olarak salgının gençler üzerindeki etkilerini istihdam, eğitim ve sağlık temelinde incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. İkinci olarak, salgının gençler üzerinde olumsuz ve uzun süreli olacağı tahmin edilen etkilerini azaltmaya ve gençleri korumaya yönelik Ekonomik İşbirliği ve Kalkınma Örgütü’ne (OECD) üye bazı ülkelerde yapılan düzenlemeleri ele almaktadır.
Sendikaların Toplu Pazarlık Yetkisi ve Kamu Toplu İş Sözleşmeleri Çerceve Anlaşma Protokolü’nün Hukuki Boyutu
Authors: YORGUN Sayım
Published: January 2023

: Sendikaların en önemli faaliyetleri arasında yer alan toplu pazarlık, Türkiye’deki uygulamalar ve sendikal faaliyetler dikkate alındığında daha fazla önem arz etmektedir. 6356 Sayılı Yasa ile işkolu düzeyinde örgütlenmeyi esas alan tüm sendikalara toplu pazarlık ehliyeti verilmiş, işkolu düzeyinde %1, işyerinde çalışanların yarıdan fazlasını üye yapan veya işletme düzeyinde en az %40 üyesi olan işçi sendikalarına yetkili olma hakkı tanınmıştır.
6356 sayılı yasada yer alan düzenlemeyle Ekonomik ve Sosyal Konsey’de yer alan konfederasyonlara bağlı sendikalara Çerçeve Sözleşme yapabilme hakkı tanınmış, konfederasyonlara taraf olma hakkı tanınmamıştır. Çerçeve Sözleşme; mesleki eğtim, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği, sosyal sorumluluk ve istihdam politikalarına ilişkin düzenlemelerle sınırlı tutulmuş, toplu iş sözleşmesi niteliğinin kazanılması engellenmiştir.
Kamu kesimi toplu iş sözleşmelerinde paralellik sağlamak amacıyla “Koordinasyon Kurulu” kurulmasından sonra Türk-İş, kamu toplu iş sözleşmelerinde daha güçlü bir müzakere yapmak ve sendikalar arasında işbirliğini sağlayarak ortak mücadele etmek için kurul oluşturmuştur. 1989 yılı kamu toplu iş sözleşmesi görüşmelerinde kurulların imzasıyla Kamu Kesimi Çerçeve Anlaşma Protokollü imzalanmış, hukuki yaptırımı olmayan bu protokoller gönüllü olarak 1989 yılından 2015 yılına kadar her sözleşme döneminde yenilenmiştir.
2015 yılında uygulanan Olağanüstü Hal kapsamında yapılan düzenlemeyle Kamu Toplu İsş Sölemmeleri Çerçeve Anlaşma Protokolü’nün(KATİŞÇAP) 20/11/2017 tarih ve 696 sayılı Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamenin 136. Maddesi uyarınca toplu sözleşme hükmünde kabul edilmesi mevcut uygulamayı değiştirerek, protokolü sendikalar için bağlayıcı bir hale getirilmiştir. 02/01/2018 tarihinde yürürlüğe giren düzenleme, 01/02/2018 tarih ve 7079 sayılı Kanunun 124. Maddesiyle aynen kabul edilerek kanunlaştırılmıştır. Ancak bu düzenleme toplu pazarlık sistemimizde yasal, anayasal ve uluslararası mevzuat açısından tartışmalara neden olmuştur.
Sendikal hakların bölünmezliği ve bütünselliği dikkat alındığında kanuni ehliyete ve kanunun aradığı yetkiye sahip olmayan, toplu iş uyuşmazlığının çözümünde taraf olamayan ve grev kararı alma hakkı bulunmayan konfederasyonlara, KATİŞCAP imzalama yetkisi verilmesi, bu protokolün toplu iş sözleşmesi hükmünde kabul edilmesi, gönüllü ve serbest toplu pazarlık sistemini olumsuz etkilemiştir.
Sendika özgürlüğü kavramını fiilen ortadan kaldıran, bölünmez olarak bilenen hakları bölen KATİŞCAP; kazanılmış hakları geriye götüren, sendikaların fonksiyonlarını daraltan ve sendika üyelerinin iradelerini ipotek altına alan bir düzenlemedir.
Türkiye Ekonomisinde Ücret ve Maaşlar: 1970–2021
Authors: YILMAZ Ahmet , KARATAŞ Togan
Published: January 2023

Bir ekonomide ücretler ile maaşların tarihsel gelişimi, ilgili ekonominin makro iktisadi performansının değerlendirilmesinde en önemli olgulardan biridir. Uzun dönemde istihdamı artırarak, reel ücret ve maaşları sürdürülebilir olarak yükseltemeyen bir ekonominin başarılı olduğu söylenemez. Bu çalışmada Türkiye ekonomisinde reel ücret ve maaşların 1970’ten 2021’e gelişimi çeşitli göstergeler aracılığıyla incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde işçilerin istihdamdaki yeri ve GSYİH’den aldığı pay incelenirken, ikinci bölümde emek verimliliği ve reel ücretlerin gelişimi konuları detaylarıyla analiz edilmiştir. Son bölümde ise emek gelirlerinin kendi içindeki yakınsama dinamikleri ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular kısaca şöyle özetlenebilir: Türkiye’de yakın geçmişte proleterleşme süreci hızlanırken emeğin üretkenliği artmıştır. Ancak ücretli ve maaşlıların reel gelirleri verimlilik artışlarına rağmen kalıcı bir şekilde iyileşmemiştir. Ekonomide son elli yılda çalışanların reel gelirlerini ve ücret çevrimlerini belirleyen önde gelen değişkenlerin; ülkenin siyasal iklimi ve demokratikleşme düzeyi, iktisadi krizler, devalüasyonlar ve enflasyonist ortam olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Eserde ayrıca ülkenin çeşitli kendine özgü gerçekliklerinin de ücret ve maaşları hangi bağlamlarda etkileyebileceği ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada; uzun dönemde toplumsal mücadelelerin güçlü, siyasal iklimin nispeten ücretli çalışanlardan yana ve göreli demokratik olduğu süreçlerin emeğin satın alma gücünün iyileşmesi ve gelir bölüşümünün daha adil hale gelmesine katkı sağladığı, aksine otoriterleşme eğilimleri ile para krizi ve yüksek enflasyon süreçlerinin ise emek kesimini yoksullaştırarak gelir bölüşümünü bozduğu ve iktisadi - toplumsal kutuplaşmayı artırdığı ortaya koyulmuştur. Çalışanların yurt içi hasıladan aldığı payın yükselmesi için iktisat politikalarının kısa ve uzun dönemde kur ve fiyat istikrarını sürdürülebilir olarak tesis edecek ve işsizliği azaltacak şekilde planlanması ve uygulanması gerekmektedir. Siyasal evrede ise ücretli çalışan kesimin hak arama mücadelelerinin devlet zoru ile baskılanmaması, sendikalaşma oranının yükselmesi ve emek kesiminin taleplerinin siyasal süreçleri etkileme gücünün artması kısaca demokratikleşmeye ihtiyaç vardır

An ear infection is among the common diseases in children. There is an increased rate of antimicrobial resistance to pathogens that cause ear infections worldwide. We analyzed two years of data on bacterial isolates associated with suspected cases of ear infection and their antibiotic-resistant patterns. All records on ear swabs (n= 134) sent for culture and sensitivity, at the medical microbiology laboratory of a tertiary Health Facility in Northeastern Nigeria, from 2017 to 2018 were reviewed. The patients’ socio-demographic information, bacteria isolated, antibiotics tested, and their sensitivity patterns were extracted. Kirby-Bauer method of antibiotic sensitivity testing and CLSI guidelines were adopted. Descriptive analyses of the data were conducted. Of a total of 134 patients’ records extracted 50.7% were female, median age 12 (IQR 9-15 years). Of the 134 samples cultured, 124 (92.5%) yield bacterial growth. Eight (8) different isolates obtained were Staphylococcus aureus (38.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.7%), Proteus mirabilis (16.1%) Proteus vulgaris (9.7%), Klebsiella oxytoca (9.0%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.6%) Escherichia coli (2.4%) and Enterococcus spp. (0.8%), Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant isolate, while Enterococcus spp. was the least. A high resistant rate was recorded against many of the antibiotics tested. All isolate demonstrated resistance to amoxicillin and cotrimoxazole, and high sensitivity to ciprofloxacin. Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most common pathogens isolated. Most isolates showed high sensitivity to ciprofloxacin. The high resistance rate recorded on most of the antibiotics tested highlight the need for appropriate prescription of antimicrobials based on local susceptibility profile in the treatments of ear infection.

Atrazine is the second most widely used herbicide in Nigeria, an excellent polluter of surface and ground sources of water; it finds its way into the water bodies through percolation and surface run-off during rainy and dry season farming. The chemical has some effects on the ecosystem especially in aquatic habitats. different concentrations of atrazine have been prepared (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg/l) and each treatment was replicated four times. a total number of twenty-five basins were used. Five test organisms (Clarias garipienus) were used in each basin. During 96-hour exposure, physicochemical parameters, morphological changes and abnormal behavior in the fish were observed. The research also considers biochemical changes in the kidney, liver and gills where the activities of cretinine, Urea, AST, ALT and Total bilirubin was assayed using colorimetric method. Based on the results obtained in this study, atrazine is found to be toxic to Clarias gariepinus. The result of the biochemical parameters and histological assay showed that Clarias gariepinus was seriously affected by atrazine.

Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with increased of developing heart disease. Information on the cardiac status of HIV-infected Nigerians is lacking. HIV/AIDS infection is a global pandemic and poses a serious health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria inclusive. The cardiac disease may occur at any stage of HIV infection, but important manifestations are more frequent with advanced immunodeficiency. Moreover, it has been reported that complications from HIV infection include arrhythmias, heart failure myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease. This study aimed to estimate serum levels of AST, LDH, CKMB and TCK among HIV patients on HAART, HAART naïve and controls subjects attending Bauchi State Tertiary hospital, Nigeria. The results showed that the mean serum total Creatine kinase, CK-MB, LDH and AST were significantly higher in HIV participants not on HAART compared with HIV participants on HAART at P<0.05 respectively. Similarly, the mean serum total Creatine kinase, CK-MB, LDH and AST were significantly higher in symptomatic HIV participants not on HAART compared with HIV seronegative control subjects at P<0.05 in each case. Once again, the mean serum total Creatine kinase, CK-MB, LDH and AST were significantly higher in asymptomatic HIV participants compared with HIV seronegative control subjects at P<0.05 respectively. Increased levels of some cardiac markers were seen in HIV-infected participants. The study reveals that there is a need to monitor these parameters to prevent sudden cardiovascular complications in HIV seropositive patients. Hence, it is recommended that more investigations need to be carried out to further evaluate the levels of CK-MB (cardiac-specific) isoenzyme of CK and other cardiac biomarkers such as troponins I and T, and myoglobin, among others.

Modern sports vehicles got enhanced in terms of performance by using better tools to design and analyze. The study of aerodynamics has always been a very intense, challenging as well as exciting task for professionals working on the research and development. This work presents the numerical analysis of our modeled race car aerodynamics and the simulation on it. We have studied different airfoils and used them in the rear wing. We studied the air flowover the body of the car at different velocities and its effect on the various aerodynamic parameters of the car, i.e., downforce/negative lift, stress, pressure and drag. We collected and tried to study what the numbers meant and analyzed the data which we got from the simulation solver. This was a tricky and time-consuming part as simulation has much to study and understand. Our aim was to get meaningful results from our simulation study. Our simulation study was without aero kit and with aero kit. In the following International Journal of Scientific Research in Engineering and Management (IJSREM) Volume: 07 Issue: 01 | January - 2023 Impact Factor: 7.185 ISSN: 2582-3930 © 2023, IJSREM | www.ijsrem.com DOI: 10.55041/IJSREM17557 | Page 2 sections we will further discuss and explain more in detail. Final conclusion of this project will be; to find outthe best fit airfoil and most efficient placement (angle of attack & height) of it in the rear of our modeled car. In this project we have designed a car, studied air flow over the body of the car at different velocities and its effect on the various aerodynamic parameters of the car i.e., downforce/negative lift, stress, pressure and drag.

The Covid-19 outbreak hasturned out to be the worst in recorded history. Millions of people have died, causing lockdowns and economic slowdowns in many countries. The most effective method of halting the spread of the Covid-19 virus to date is probably "Social distance," as no specific antiviral treatment has yet been recommended for treating the infection. This study suggests a lot-based doorbell that notifies the homeowner when a guest arrives with a fever and potentially be a Covid-19 sufferer. The system makes use of a non-contact infrared temperature sensor and NodeMCU. All system readings are recorded in a FireBase online database, and a companion mobile app is also available. An experimental set was used to do extensive testing on the system. Keywords : NodeMCU, COVIDE TREATMENT, MLX90614
The world in one country: English in South Africa
Authors: Richter Borka
Published: January 2023

As the allusion in the title to the unintentionally humorous phrasebook published in the nineteenth century suggests, broken English and mistranslation have long been a source of humour and condemnation. Both of them abound due to the increasing prevalence of English in the world and the challenges posed by learning and using a foreign language, and by using translation to bridge the gap between English and other languages. If we add to this the appropriation of English by its speakers beyond the lands of the English, we appreciate some of the issues the spread of the English language in the world brings to the fore. The Englishes spoken in the 21st century are an outcome of the history of the English language, which is in turn bound up with the history of the speakers of the language. In what follows, we will start at the beginning and consider in broad strokes how English came to be, where it went, and how and why it spread. For this I will use as a framework the four diasporas, of spread. Thereafter, suggestions will be shared on how best to approach the study of world Englishes and global Englishes. First of all, how do Englishes vary? Secondly, how are the varieties of World Englishes distributed across the globe, and how can they be grouped into categories? Thirdly, theoretical models that researchers have suggested to help us understand the processes underlying the phenomenon will be presented. Kachru’s Three Circle Model (1992), Schneider’s Dynamic Model (2007) and De Swaan’s Global Language System (2004) have all had a major influence on this field of study and each of them can help us to make sense of the complexly interconnected, diverse aspects of World Englishes. In the final part of this paper, these themes are pulled together by looking at a concrete example. The focus will be on South Africa and how English is spoken there. Once again, we will look at how English came to be spoken there, where the language went and who its speakers were and are. To this end, the specific history of South Africa will be sketched, making the links with the spread of the English language, and relating its use to the use of other languages in the area. The paper will end with a description of the current language situation, the popular and academic debates about English in education, and a discussion of the ambiguous place South African English holds in the general scheme of World Englishes.

A Proposed device designed to protect the crops not only from the birds but also it is equipped with the multiple sensors to sense and repel the wild animals also from the cropland. It is also designed to sense any kind of fire around the cropland. It can also sense the moisture level of soil and alarm the farmers about it if moisture level goes down or high. In this research paper we have done an experiment to check the effect of temperature on this device. We have kept this device under various environments with different temperature and keep on observing it 24 hours. This DIEL cycle of 24 hours in various temperatures shows the effects of temperature on this designed model. We have clearly found out the effects of temperature on this device and can work efficiently in our region. We can also extend this experiment in various regions of country also. For this experiment, we have chosen our local area of Ara, Bihta and Patna. We have tried to find out the difficulties in working environment of this device.

Published: January 2023

Image enhancement is one of the challenging but crucial methods that is employed in image processing technology for enhancing the visual appearance of images. This paper presents an effective and efficient image enhancement model in which Non Local mean (NLM) filter is used along with Minimum Mean Brightness Error Bi-Histogram Equalization (MMBEBHE) and Brightness Preserving Dynamic Fuzzy Histogram Equalization (BPDFHE) techniques. The primary objective of the proposed image enhancement model is to enhance the quality of images by reducing the noise effect in them. To do so, we have selected four different images of Barbara, camera, Lena and Hand whose quality is increased and analyzed on three different noise levels of 15, 20 and 25 respectively. Here, we have used NLM filter which is an advanced filtration technique for denoising the images. Also, MMBEBHE and BPDFHE techniques have been implemented for enhancing the quality of images on different noise levels. The efficiency and usefulness of proposed image enhancement model is examined and validated in MATLAB software under Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak to Signal Ratio (PSNR) values.
Tendințe strategice ale organizațiilor internaționale de securitate pentru realizarea/consolidarea securității regionale și globale

"This article is an overview of the international strategic context in the next 20 years, designed to guide the work of international security organizations in achieving/consolidating regional and global security. The analysis is based on the work of international organizations as sound judgments on different alternative strategies that focus on the challenges of the most likely future themes. According to the assessment, the period up to 2040 will be a period of transition, characterized by instability, both in the relations between states and in the relations between groups within states. The world is likely to continue to face the reality of a changing climate, rapid population growth, resource scarcity, resurgence of ideologies, and above all, shifts in global power from West to East. No state, group or individual can face these challenges in isolation, only collective responses will be adequate. Therefore, the struggle to establish an effective system of global governance capable of meeting these challenges will continue to be a central theme of the age. Globalization, global inequality, climate change and technological innovation will affect the lives of everyone on the planet. There will be a constant tension between greater interdependence between states, groups and individuals, and increased competition between them. Dependence on complex global systems, such as global supply chains for resources, is likely to increase the risk of systemic problems."
