Authors: Chakraborty Sourav , Saha Sumedha , Bhattacharya Malay
Published: December 2023

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP’s) are 1 - 100nm sized constituents providing additional surface area in formation of plentiful coordinate bonds with various ligands. Green mode of AgNP’s synthesis has aided in development of advanced formulations towards treating complex human ailments. Herpetospermum darjeelingense (C.B.Clarke) H. Schaef. and S.S. Renner is an under investigated endemic ethnomedicinally significant cucurbit climber with no work based on synthesis and exploration of biogenic AgNP’s being conducted previously employing its solvent extracts. This paper aims to provide insights on the green synthesized AgNP’s besides studying its antimicrobial, antioxidant and hepatoprotective efficacy. Methanolic extracts of H. darjeelingense were utilized to synthesize AgNP’s via reduction of silver nitrate following UV-Visible spectroscopic and scanning electron microscopic characterization depicting surface plasmon resonance bands at around 430nm wavelength with spherical to cubical shaped AgNP’s ranging between 40–80nm. The methanol based sample extracts did not portray any inhibition zone in antimicrobial assay with the AgNP’s showing considerable zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus indicating anti-microbial effectiveness of silver nano formulations. The highest free radical scavenging potential was shown by 50mg/ml (91.99%) silver nano formulation with minimal being recorded in 12.5mg/ml (50.11%) nanoparticle concentrate including a noted gradual increase in anti-lipid peroxidation ability from 12.5mg/ml (7.157±0.08273mg/ml Tocopherol equivalent) to 50mg/ml (18.128±0.03152mg/ml Tocopherol equivalent) nanoparticle formulation clearly portraying statistically significant elevated results in comparison to plain sample extracts depicting its anticipated usage in pharmaceutical applications concerning antibacterial, antioxidative and hepatoprotective features.

IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF INTERACTING WITH OTHERS
Authors: KRYLOVA A. , ANDREEVA I.
Published: December 2023

The article presents a theoretical review devoted to the model of nonviolent communication proposed

by M. Rosenberg. Four components of the concept of nonviolent communication are described in detail, which allow

building trusting and conflict-free relationships with people around them. Observation, feelings, needs, and requests are

the four components of the nonviolent communication model. The necessity of a more detailed study and application

of the concept of nonviolent communication is substantiated. It should be noted that the model of nonviolent

communication can be effectively applied in all spheres of communication: family relations, school, therapy and

counseling, disputes and conflicts. Several ways of educating people in the field of nonviolent communication and some

methods that contribute to the development of nonviolent communication skills are proposed. Clarity and accuracy is the

main principle of the method of nonviolent communication developed by M. Rosenberg. Having mastered his four basic

rules, people learn to speak so that the interlocutor can hear and understand him. As a result, communication will become

effective.

Published: December 2023

本研究目的在了解學校行政組織對輔導教師與心理師的跨專業合作經驗之影響。本研究透過半結構式訪談與質性分析南部地區四位國中輔導教師與四位在國中輔導室服務的心理師。研究結果發現，學校行政組織影響輔導教師與心理師跨專業合作的層面可分成三方面。第一、輔導教師與心理師各自專業定位：輔導教師身為學校組織之局內人，其專業定位之一屬於學校規範執行者的身分；而心理師身為學校組織之局外人，其專業定位則是為心理衛生教育者與諮詢者的角色。第二、輔導教師與心理師對彼此的專業期待：輔導教師對心理師的專業期待注重配合系統工作；心理師對輔導教師的專業期待注重扮演溝通與協調者、協助心理師融入學校組織文化。第三、學校行政組織對輔導教師與心理師的不合理期待：輔導教師努力配合學校組織的期待、其專業能力仍受到質疑；另外，學校組織對心理師的工作內涵與成效評估有明顯落差，因此學校行政組織會間接影響輔導教師與心理師跨專業合作。本研究針對研究結果提出輔導教師與心理師跨專業合作建議，以期將來雙方合作能充分發揮功能。

 

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of school organization on interprofessional collaboration between school guidance teachers and counselors. The participants included four school guidance teachers and counselors respectively from the southern regions of Taiwan.

Study results found that school organizations influence the collaboration in terms of three aspects: 1. professional roles: in addition to psychological counselling, school guidance teachers, being insiders within the school organization, identify themselves as school rule enforcers, while counselors, being as outsiders, identify themselves as mental health advocators and consultants. 2. Professional expectations: school guidance teachers expect counselors to work in a systematic approach, addressing pressures from the school administration. On the other hand, counselors expect school guidance teachers to serve as mediators between them and the school organizations. 3. School organizations affect interprofessional collaboration as a result of a lack of knowledge of psychological counselling and an unrealistic expectation. Based on the findings, this study proposes professional suggestions for enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration between school guidance teachers and counselors, hoping to maximize the outcome of their future collaborative endeavors.

 
“[T]he Perfect Love Which Cherishes Me”: Lewes, Casaubon, and the Making of Middlemarch
Authors: Nixon Jude Vernon
Published: December 2023

This article traces the compositional history of Middlemarch, George Henry Lewes’s invaluable role on the novel in handling negotiations with the publisher, John Blackwood, and his management of marketing and sales. Even though Lewes’s diary and journal show a paucity of details on Eliot’s work on Middlemarch, still his guiding hand is evident in every phase of the novel. While Lewes did not feel the need to mention Middlemarch unless it was necessary, Eliot’s own letters and diary fill in the silence. The article also explores the writing-double partnership in Victorian literature and the hybridity of possible prototypes to Casaubon. In this seventy-fifth anniversary issue of the George Eliot–George Henry Lewes Studies, it is important to revisit this valuable partnership that led to the writing of Middlemarch, which holds a unique place in Eliot’s fiction because it reflects her renewed commitment to art as moral enterprise.

Transitional justice from above and below: exploring the potential glocalising role of non-governmental organisations through a Northern Ireland case study
Authors: McGaughey Fiona , Rafferty Rachel , Maguire Amy
Published: December 2023

Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have the potential to play a unique local-to-global role – ‘glocalisation’ – as intermediaries to international human rights bodies. NGOs are also significant actors in transitional justice societies and have the potential to make a positive contribution by linking local and global dimensions of transitional justice. Moving beyond analysis of legal transitional justice responses through domestic and regional courts and the United Nations (UN) treaty body individual complaints, this article calls for consideration of the role NGOs can play in transitional justice when they connect to quasi-judicial and political UN human rights bodies through state reporting mechanisms. As the work of these bodies is quite reliant on NGO expertise, particularly local NGOs, the article examines Northern Ireland NGO engagement with UN state reporting mechanisms regarding transitional justice. The article concludes that, while the distinction between the state-centric review at the UN level and grassroots activities at a local level is ultimately a false dichotomy, this divide seems to be operating in practice in the case of Northern Ireland. We make a distinction between rights-focused and reconciliation-focused NGOs and find that reconciliation-focused NGOs in particular are largely absent from international reporting frameworks. We argue that NGOs have the potential to play a unique local-to-global role, ‘glocalisation’, but this only works if local NGOs are enabled and encouraged to engage at a global level. Hence, we recommend that, where possible, local NGOs must be involved in both grassroots activities and international monitoring via the UN in order to exploit their glocalising potential.

Comparison of two methods to measure the area of ultrasonography images of corpus luteum in sheep
Authors: Lafourcade Sol , Bottino Juan Pedro , Ratto Marcelo , Ungerfeld Rodolfo
Published: December 2023

Ultrasonography (US) is a helpful tool for studying follicular and luteal dynamics, ovulation, and embryo development. However, there is currently no gold standard reference technique for estimating the size of the corpus luteum (CL). The aim of this study was to compare the results from measuring ewes’ CL size based on its’ diameter or its’ surface with the aid of image software. The study involved 19 ewes, recording the images of 50 CLs at different stages of development, and therefore, calculating its’ size by both procedures. The results showed that measuring the CL diameter to calculate its’ area is a rapid and reliable technique that can effectively substitute the measurement of the surface, which requires precision and time. The study concluded that measuring the two main axes of the CL is a valid method for effectively estimating its size.
Confession as a leading stylistic feature in the lyric poetry of Chechen poet Khusein Satuev
Authors: Ахаева М.А.
Published: December 2023

В статье рассматривается роль приема исповедальности в малоисследованной ли-рике чеченского поэта Хусейна Сатуева, творчество которого развивалось в парадигме шестидесятничества. Выявляется структурно-семантическое значение базовых концептов, основанных на архетипах национального сознания, и художественных приемов реализа-ции исповедальных мотивов. Исповедальность трактуется как способ отражения автор-ского сознания, его чувств и размышлений, как возможность расширения диапазона изоб-ражения внутреннего мира лирического героя – второго «Я» биографического автора. Отмечается, что внутренний мир поэта и его духовная жизнь неразрывно связаны с при-родой, которая дает ему силы для противостояния внешним угрозам. Все свои чувства и эмоции Х. Сатуев выражает с помощью природных метафор, которые создаются в про-странственной парадигме. Единое семантическое пространство в лирике чеченского поэта образуется посредством художественного приема олицетворения, который имеет тради-ции в национальной фольклорной поэзии. Выявленный мотивный комплекс позволяет утверждать, что исповедальность является одним из устойчивых творческих приемов Х. Сатуева.

The article examines the role of confession as a method in the little-studied lyric poetry of Chechen poet Khusein Satuev, whose work developed in the paradigm of the sixties. The author reveals structural and semantic meaning of basic concepts of archetypes of national consciousness and artistic techniques of realization of confessionary motives. Confession is interpreted as a way of reflecting the author’s consciousness, his feelings and thoughts, as an opportunity to expand the range of depiction of the inner world of the lyrical hero - the alter ego of the biographical au-thor. It is noted that the poet’s inner world and his psyche are inextricably linked with nature, which gives him the strength to withstand external threats. Kh. Satuev expresses all his feelings and emotions with the help of natural metaphors that are created in the spatial paradigm. A single semantic space in the lyrics of the Chechen poet is formed through the artistic device of personi-fication, which is traced in national folk poetry. The identified motive complex confirms that con-fession is one of Kh. Satuev’s stable creative techniques.
Multilingualism in the linguistic space: typology and status
Authors: Багироков Х.З.
Published: December 2023

В статье рассматривается проблема мультилингвизма и анализируются научные предпосылки, характеризующие типологию и статус термина в гуманитарной науке. Особое внимание уделено социолингвистическим и психолингвистическим исследованиям рубежа ХХ и ХХI вв., идентифицирующими себя монолингвальными, а мультилингвизм ассоциировался как отклонение от существующих норм, что привело к недостаточному анализу мультилингвальности языкового сознания индивида в современной лингвистике. Исследуется актуальная на сегодняшний день проблема, рассматривающая лингвистические компетенции реципиента, обладающего репрезентативными компонентами интерферентных отклонений в устной и письменной речи как результат национально-иноязычного контактирования. Предлагается решение проблемы мультилингвальной коммуникативной деятельности, а также исследование трилингвизма как самой распространенной формы реализации мультилингвальных компетенций реципиента.

The article examines multilingualism and analyzes the scientific premises that characterize the typology and status of the term in human sciences. Particular attention is paid to sociolinguis-tic and psycholinguistic studies at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, which were identified as monolingual, and multilingualism was seen as a deviation from existing norms, which led to an insufficient analysis of the multilinguality of an individual’s linguistic consciousness in modern linguistics. We study the linguistic competencies of a recipient who has representative compo-nents of interference deviations in oral and written speech as a result of national-foreign language contact. The study provides a solution to the problem of multilingual communication and repre-sents a study of trilingualism as the most common form of realization of multilingual competen-cies of the recipient.

Authors: Tang Yien Yu , Slimani Youcef , Al-Ghazal Mukhtar Ali , Talukdar Gaurav , Maharjan Amit Kumar
Published: December 2023

Urbanization and population density surges globally have triggered environmental challenges, with the construction sector notably contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and high energy consumption. Urban expansion has exacerbated issues, converting green spaces into impermeable structures and heightening flood risks. Green roofs have emerged as an eco-friendly solution, excelling in stormwater management, mitigating the urban heat island effect, enhancing air quality, reducing noise transmission, preserving biodiversity, extending roof lifespan, and augmenting aesthetics. They absorb rainwater, decreasing stormwater runoff, yet entail higher installation and maintenance costs and potential fire hazards compared to conventional roofs. In Malaysia, government policies and incentives drive green roof adoption, particularly in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, predominantly of the intensive green roof type. Buildings undergo green rating tool evaluations for green certification. Despite progress, challenges persist, including expertise shortages, lack of design guidelines, limited research, low public awareness, and green roof component disposal issues. Addressing these demands significant government efforts, including robust policy development, increased support for local companies, expanded research initiatives, heightened public awareness, and optimized synergy with other technologies. Integrating green roofs with solar panels and utilizing greywater for irrigation can reduce energy and water consumption concurrently, showcasing potential for comprehensive and sustainable urban development.
Microbial Assessment of Aprons Worn By Some Street Food Vendors In Awka South, Anambra State, Nigeria
Authors: Okafor Ugochukwu Chukwuma , Justin Ene Chimbuzor , Ikechi Onyeneho Vitus
Published: December 2023

Many food vendors touch money and other contaminated items with their bare hands before serving meals to customers without cleaning them. This creates a pathway for microorganisms to spread from their hands to the aprons and then the food. A total of six swabs were aseptically collected randomly from different parts in the respective aprons of food vendors from six randomly selected street food vendor points within the premises of the study area. The isolates' cultural and morphological characteristics were identified. Four bacterial and six fungal isolates were found in the aprons. The bacterial isolates include Staphylococcus aureus (32.7%), Bacillus spp.(21.8%), Klebsiella spp.(11.1%) and Escherichia coli (34.01%) while the fungal isolates include Mucor spp. (12.1%), Candida spp. (17.1%), Microsporum canis (17.1%), Penicillium spp. (9.7%) and Aspergillus spp. (24.3%) for fungi were isolated. Escherichia coli and  Aspergillus species were the most prevalent bacterial and fungal isolates respectively. It was observed that aprons of food-vendors who stay in close proximity to garbage dumps contained higher levels of pathogenic organisms. The results of this study showed that most food vendors fail to maintain proper food hygiene, which raises concerns for the public's health. Education of food vendors on personal, environmental, and food hygiene is crucial since it will help to reduce apron contamination and improve the safety of the food provided at vending locations.

La población estuvo integrada por el total de estudiantes de la carrera de Derecho de la universidad que sumaron 233 y de ellos se tomó una muestra probabilística de 215 a través del método aleatorio simple. Se realizaron encuestas utilizando un cuestionario con preguntas cerradas y para el análisis de resultados se utilizó la estadística descriptiva. Se apreció que la diferencia es del 14,2 % entre los estudiantes que fueron pasibles de violencia a través de las redes y los que no. Se concluyó que la frecuencia de la violencia se ejerció entre tres o más ocasiones tanto en hombres como en mujeres; las manifestaciones más recurrentes de violencia se centraron en los comentarios agresivos hacia la persona o el cuerpo de las personas, y los tipos de violencia principales fueron la verbal y la psicológica.
CONTRADICCIONES DE TESIS JURISPRUDENCIALES EN ACCIONES DE AMPARO QUE TUTELAN DERECHOS FUNDAMENTALES EN HONDURAS
Authors: Rojas Sandoval David  Stefano
Published: December 2023

La jurisprudencia es una fuente formal del derecho, contemplada en el ordenamiento jurídico hondureño, no obstante, a la misma se la ha otorgado un valor jurídico inferior al momento de la aplicación del derecho positivo por parte de los órganos administradores de justicia. En ese sentido, el presente articulo tiene como objetivo determinar las consecuencias de las contradicciones de tesis jurisprudenciales, identificando de esta manera si se vulneran derechos fundamentales con dichas contradicciones, y de ser así precisar los derechos vulnerados. Y a la vez, proponer mecanismos de solución para contrarrestar los efectos que surge por las contradicciones de tesis jurisprudenciales en acciones de amparo que tutelen derechos fundamentales.

Published: December 2023

Sarcopenia e diabetes mellitus tipo II são doenças com prevalência elevada no mundo contemporâneo, compartilhando fatores de risco e contribuindo para piora da qualidade e expectativa de vida dos pacientes. Indivíduos que apresentem ambas as patologias podem necessitar de tratamento diferenciado para evitar desfechos desfavoráveis. Para isso se faz necessário compreender a relação entre estas patologias e definir a prevalência desta associação. Essa revisão integrativa busca responder a pergunta: qual a prevalência de sarcopenia em portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo II? Foram realizadas as buscas nas bases Pubmed, Medline e Lilacs com os descritores sarcopenia e diabetes mellitus, sendo identificados 653 artigos e, após seleção, 11 foram incluídos. A prevalência variou entre 7,37% e 42,86% de sarcopenia em pacientes portadores de DMII. A falta de uniformização dos critérios diagnósticos para sarcopenia dificulta a compreensão do impacto global da patologia, entretanto, as prevalências verificadas justificam a estruturação dos serviços de saúde para atender estes pacientes, portadores de doenças crônicas, de forma integral.

Authors: Pereira Francisco Isidro
Published: December 2023

Se apropriando do cenário dos negócios da construção civil o estudo em tela busca responder se há sincronia entre a prática da gestão além dos planos orçamentários e o desempenho dos papéis acionários no mercado bursátil. O espaço temporal envolvido correspondeu vinte e um meses entre 2009 e 2014. Como opção metodológica foi adotada o estudo multicaso. A escolha das unidades empresariais se deu em função da facilidade de acesso aos dados. Em consonância ao desenho da pesquisa, utilizou-se a entrevista do tipo semiestruturada compartilhada com a observação de natureza participante. Para corroborar e aumentar a evidência das fontes partiu-se para a informação documental – relatórios e registros internos. A compilação dos dados usufruiu do bloco de anotações que após a submissão crítica foram enquadradas às variáveis consideradas no estudo, definindo seu impacto como forte (+) e fraco (-) e contrastado com o desempenho econômico e a expectativa do mercado com base na captura do preço diário da ação. Dada à realidade do objeto de campo de estudo o modelo Beyond Budgeting exemplifica empiricamente forte deterioração de lucratividade refletida nos preços dos papéis acionários.

This work evaluates superficial water uses in the Paraíba River considering the São Francisco River Integration Project – PISF. Four system´s operation scenarios were considered: C1- considering the current form of the PISF flow transportation (through the river bed), C2- considering part of the flow being transported by pipelines to the water treatment plant of Gravatá, C3 and C4- considering the aforementioned scenarios with and without the water use restrictions established by the 87-th Joint Resolution of the Agência Nacional de Águas - ANA and Agência Executiva de Gestão de Águas da Paraíba- AESA. A multiobjective optimization model, based on sucessive linear programming, was used when considering the period of time from 2012 to 2017, which was marked by severe drought in the region. The system performance was evaluated through the use of indicators related to the meeting water demands and the efficiency of reservoirs. The water losses in river bed and by evaporation in the reservoirs along the Paraíba River were calculate as well as to estimated the financial cost of these losses. The results show that the scenarios considering pipelines would be more efficient, either regarding to the water demand supply or in minimizing water losses. The limits established by the 87-th Joint Resolution limit the efficiency of water uses of the system, so that the use of water without the limits established by the Resolution does not affect priority water use neither the reservoirs performance.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most common causes of intellectual disability. Children with DS have varying intelligence quotient (IQ) that can predict their learning abilities.

AIM

To assess the brain metabolic profiles of children with DS and compare them to standard controls, using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and correlating the results with IQ.

METHODS

This case-control study included 40 children with DS aged 6-15 years and 40 age and sex-matched healthy children as controls. MRS was used to evaluate ratios of choline/creatine (Cho/Cr), N-acetyl aspartic acid/creatine (NAA/Cr), and myoinositol/creatine (MI/Cr (in the frontal, temporal, and occipital lobes and basal ganglia and compared to controls and correlated with IQ.

RESULTS

Children with DS showed significant reductions in NAA/Cr and MI/Cr and a non-significant reduction in Cho/Cr in frontal lobes compared to controls. Additionally, we observed significant decreases in NAA/Cr, MI/Cr, and Cho/Cr in the temporal and occipital lobes and basal ganglia in children with DS compared to controls. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between IQ and metabolic ratios in the brains of children with DS.

CONCLUSION

Brain metabolic profile could be a good predictor of IQ in children with DS.
Migration of the distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter into the stomach with or without trans-oral extrusion: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis
Authors: Ghritlaharey Rajendra Kumar
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Intra-gastric migration of the distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) catheter clinically presenting with or without trans-oral extrusion is one of the rare complications of VPS catheter insertion.

AIM

To identify the demographics, clinical presentation, clinical findings, and results of surgical therapy offered for the treatment of intra-gastric migration of the distal VPS catheter, clinically presented with or without trans-oral extrusion.

METHODS

An online search was performed for the extraction/retrieval of the published/ available literature pertaining to the above-mentioned VPS complication. Manuscripts were searched from PubMed, PMC (PubMed Central), ResearchGate, and Google Scholar databases using various terminology relating to the VPS complications. The first case of migration of a VPS catheter into the stomach was reported in the year 1980, and the data were retrieved from 1980 to December 2022. Cases were categorized into two groups; Group A: Cases who had migration of the distal VPS catheter into the stomach and clinically presented with trans-oral extrusion of the same, and Group B: Cases who had migration of the distal VPS catheter into the stomach, but presented without trans-oral extrusion.

RESULTS

A total of n = 46 cases (n = 27; 58.69% male, and n = 19; 41.3% females) were recruited for the systematic review. Group A included n = 32, and Group B n = 14 cases. Congenital hydrocephalus was the indication for the primary VPS insertion for approximately half of the (n = 22) cases. Approximately sixty percent (n = 27) of them were children ≤ 5 years of age at the time of the diagnosis of the complication mentioned above. In seventy-two percent (n = 33) cases, this complication was detected within 24 mo after the VPS insertion/last shunt revision. Clinical diagnosis was evident for the entire group A cases. Various diagnostic modalities were used to confirm the diagnosis for Group B cases. Various surgical procedures were offered for the management of the complication in n = 43 cases of both Groups. In two instances, intra-gastric migration of the distal VPS catheter was detected during the autopsy. This review documented four deaths.

CONCLUSION

Intra-gastric migration of the peritoneal end of a VPS catheter is one of the rare complications of VPS catheter implantation done for the treatment of hydrocephalus across all age groups. It was more frequently reported in children, although also reported in adults and older people. A very high degree of clinical suspicion is required for the diagnosis of a case of an intra-gastric migration of the distal VPS catheter clinically presenting without trans-oral extrusion.
