Emotional Analysis of Twitter Posts During the First Phase of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Greece: Infoveillance Study (Preprint)
Authors: Geronikolou Styliani , Drosatos George , Chrousos George
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

The effectiveness of public health measures depends upon a community’s compliance as well as on its positive or negative emotions.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to perform an analysis of the expressed emotions in English tweets by Greek Twitter users during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Greece.

METHODS

The period of this study was from January 25, 2020 to June 30, 2020. Data collection was performed by using appropriate search words with the filter-streaming application programming interface of Twitter. The emotional analysis of the tweets that satisfied the inclusion criteria was achieved using a deep learning approach that performs better by utilizing recurrent neural networks on sequences of characters. Emotional epidemiology tools such as the 6 basic emotions, that is, joy, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise, and anger based on the Paul Ekman classification were adopted.

RESULTS

The most frequent emotion that was detected in the tweets was “surprise” at the emerging contagion, while the imposed isolation resulted mostly in “anger” (odds ratio 2.108, 95% CI 0.986-4.506). Although the Greeks felt rather safe during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, their positive and negative emotions reflected a masked “flight or fight” or “fear versus anger” response to the contagion.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings of our study show that emotional analysis emerges as a valid tool for epidemiology evaluations, design, and public health strategy and surveillance.

Published: September 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the uptake of digital health worldwide and highlighted many benefits of these innovations. However, it also stressed the magnitude of inequalities regarding accessing digital health. Using a scoping review, this article explores the potential benefits of digital technologies for the global population, with particular reference to people living with disabilities, using the autism community as a case study. We ultimately explore policies in Sweden, Australia, Canada, Estonia, the United Kingdom, and the United States to learn how policies can lay an inclusive foundation for digital health systems. We conclude that digital health ecosystems should be designed with health equity at the forefront to avoid deepening existing health inequalities. We call for a more sophisticated understanding of digital health literacy to better assess the readiness to adopt digital health innovations. Finally, people living with disabilities should be positioned at the center of digital health policy and innovations to ensure they are not left behind.

Authors: Ashworth Henry , Ebrahim Senan , Ebrahim Hassaan , Bhaiwala Zahra , Chilazi Michael
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Rise of conflict, extreme weather events, and pandemics have led to larger displaced populations worldwide. Displaced populations have unique acute and chronic health needs that must be met by low-resource health systems. Electronic health records (EHRs) have been shown to improve health outcomes in displaced populations, but need to be adapted to meet the constraints of these health systems.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this viewpoint is to describe the development and deployment of an EHR designed to care for displaced populations in low-resource settings.

METHODS

Using a human-centered design approach, we conducted in-depth interviews and focus groups with patients, health care providers, and administrators in Lebanon and Jordan to identify the essential EHR features. These features, including modular workflows, multilingual interfaces, and offline-first capabilities, led to the development of the Hikma Health EHR, which has been deployed in Lebanon and Nicaragua.

RESULTS

We report the successes and challenges from 12 months of Hikma Health EHR deployment in a mobile clinic providing care to Syrian refugees in Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. Successes include the EHR’s ability to (1) increase clinical efficacy by providing detailed patient records, (2) be adaptable to the threats of COVID-19, and (3) improve organizational planning. Lessons learned include technical fixes to methods of identifying patients through name or their medical record ID.

CONCLUSIONS

As the number of displaced people continues to rise globally, it is imperative that solutions are created to help maximize the health care they receive. Free, open-sourced, and adaptable EHRs can enable organizations to better provide for displaced populations.
Narrative Review: Risk-Benefit Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine in COVID-19
Authors: At Thobari Jarir
Published: September 2021

Chloroquine (CQ) and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) are highly prescribed as medications for COVID-19 infection, although no robust or convincing data has yet been published about the efficacy in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, risk and benefit assessment are necessary for decision to prescribe these drugs in COVID-19 patient in hospitals settings. We systematically searched from MEDLINE Database which investigate the benefits and risks of HCQ and CQ among COVID-19 patients. All records were searched using the search terms Hydroxychloroquine, Chloroquine, COVID-19, and SARS-CoV-2. The selection criteria include all clinical trials and observational studies. We found 11 records about benefit and 7 records about risks on HCQ and CQ in COVID-19 patients after following inclusion and exclusion criteria. From clinical trial and observational studies have showed that HCQ is very limited benefit particularly on reduction of mortality or clinical improvement. Similarly, there were seven observational studies have estimated the cardiac event in use of HCQ or CQ in COVID-19. Even though no increase death, but these studies reported the increase risk of prolong QT-interval in high proportion and other cardiac events such as arrythmia, torsade de pointes and conduction block. We conclude that the benefit effect of HCQ and CQ in COVID-19 remains very limited. However, both medications have independently shown to increase the risk in other populations for QT-interval prolongation, drug-induced torsades de pointes/TDP (a form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia) and drug-induced other cardiac events.
A Review on Chemical Composition, Bioactivity, and Toxicity of Myristica fragrans Houtt. Essential Oil
Authors: Warsito Mega Ferdina
Published: September 2021

Myristica fragrans Houtt., commonly known as nutmeg, is an Indonesian indigenous dioecious evergreen tree which contains 5-15% volatile oil. The oil is usually produced from the seed or mace.  Nutmeg oil has been extensively utilized in aromatherapy, natural medicine, and the perfume industry. This article provides an overview of the chemical compounds, biological potency, and toxic effects of nutmeg essential oil compiled from recent literature (2000–2020). Nutmeg oil mainly comprises monoterpenes and phenylpropanoids. Several reports on gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry analysis of nutmeg oil showed that there were 27–38 chemical constituents detected at various concentrations. Many secondary metabolites of nutmeg oil reported to show biological activities that possibly substantiate its utilization in natural medicine. Numerous studies reported the biological activities of this volatile oil such as antioxidant, analgesic, antiinflammation, anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antiparasitic, insecticidal, and anticancer activity. But large intake of nutmeg oil could cause intoxication which is shown through symptoms in cardiovascular, central nervous system, anticholinergic, and local effects in the stomach. These symptoms are mainly attributed to the effect of myristicin, safrole, and elemicin overdose. This updated review paper intends to attract more attention to nutmeg oil and its potential to be developed into a medicinal product for the prophylaxis and therapy of diseases.

Published: September 2021

Lansium domesticum (fam. Meliaceae) contains various compounds with various biological activities. Based on the previous research, extracts from several parts of the plant have biological activity. This study aimed to isolate a compound from the fruitpeel of L. domesticum and evaluate cytotoxic activity against T47D, WiDr and HepG2 cell lines. Powdered peels were macerated with ethyl acetate and the filtrate was evaporated to give EtOAc extract. Dried extract was triturated with n-hexane to give n-hexane soluble fraction (A) and insoluble fraction (B). The fraction B was separated using vacuum column chromatography (VLC) with mobile phase n-hexane: ethyl acetate and given 5 fractions. Fractions B3-B5 were combined and separated using VLC with n-hexane and ethyl acetate as mobile phase. This VLC separation gave 18 subractions, subfractions 6-9 with the similar TLC profile were combined. This subfraction was separated further using preparative thin layer chromatography to give compound 1. The Isolated compound (1) appeared as liquid. The chemical structure of 1 was identified acoording to spectroscopic data and comparison with literature. Cytotoxic bioassay was performed on T-47D, WiDr and Hep G2 cell lines in a series of concentrations at 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and 5µg/mL, with Doxorubicine used as positive control. According to spectroscopic data, compound 1 was identified as 2-ethyl,3-(1’-hydroxy-2’-menthene) propenal, and demonstrate the strongest cytotoxicity against T-47D cell lines (IC50=39.18+1.54 µg/mL).
Cingulo-opercular and Cingulo-parietal Brain Networks Functional Connectivity in Pre-adolescents: Multiplicative Effects of Race, Ethnicity, and Parental Education
Authors: Assari Shervin
Published: September 2021

Introduction: A growing body of research has shown a diminished association between socioeconomic status (SES) indicators and a wide range of neuroimaging indicators for racial and ethnic minorities compared to majority groups. However, less is known about these effects for resting-state functional connectivity between various brain networks. Purpose: This study investigated racial and ethnic variation in the correlation between parental education and resting-state functional connectivity between the cingulo-opercular (CO) and cingulo-parietal (CP) networks in children. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study; we analyzed the resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rsfMRI) data of 8,464 American pre-adolescents between the ages of 9 and 10. The main outcome measured was resting-state functional connectivity between the CO and CP networks calculated using rsfMRI. The independent variable was parental education, which was treated as a nominal variable. Age, sex, and family marital status were the study covariates. Race and ethnicity were the moderators. Mixed-effects regression models were used for data analysis, with and without interaction terms between parental education and race and ethnicity. Results: Higher parental education was associated with lower resting-state functional connectivity between the CO and CP networks. Race and ethnicity both showed statistically significant interactions with parental education on children’s resting-state functional connectivity between CO and CP networks, suggesting that the correlation between parental education and the resting-state functional connectivity was significantly weaker for Black and Hispanic pre-adolescents compared to White and non-Hispanic pre-adolescents. Conclusions: In line with the Minorities’ Diminished Returns theory, the association between parental education and pre-adolescents resting-state functional connectivity between CO and CP networks may be weaker in Black and Hispanic children than in White and non-Hispanic children. The weaker link between parental education and brain functional connectivity for Blacks and Hispanics than for Whites and non-Hispanics may reflect the racism, racialization, and social stratification that minimizes the returns of SES indicators, such as parental education for non-Whites, who become others in the US.
ABCC subfamily in GtoPdb v.2021.3
Authors: Vore Mary
Published: September 2021

Subfamily ABCC contains thirteen members and nine of these transporters are referred to as the Multidrug Resistance Proteins (MRPs). The MRP proteins are found throughout nature and they mediate many important functions. They are known to be involved in ion transport, toxin secretion, and signal transduction [7, 2].
SLC8 family of sodium/calcium exchangers in GtoPdb v.2021.3
Authors: Hancox Jules
Published: September 2021

The sodium/calcium exchangers (NCX) use the extracellular sodium concentration to facilitate the extrusion of calcium out of the cell. Alongside the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), as well as the sodium/potassium/calcium exchangers (NKCX, SLC24 family), NCX allow recovery of intracellular calcium back to basal levels after cellular stimulation. When intracellular sodium ion levels rise, for example, following depolarisation, these transporters can operate in the reverse direction to allow calcium influx and sodium efflux, as an electrogenic mechanism. Structural modelling suggests the presence of 9 TM segments, with a large intracellular loop between the fifth and sixth TM segments [1].

Published: September 2021

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [50]) are activated by the endogenous agonist acetylcholine. All five (M1-M5) mAChRs are ubiquitously expressed in the human body and are therefore attractive targets for many disorders. Functionally, M1, M3, and M5 mAChRs preferentially couple to Gq/11 proteins, whilst M2 and M4 mAChRs predominantly couple to Gi/o proteins. Both agonists and antagonists of mAChRs are clinically approved drugs, including pilocarpine for the treatment of elevated intra-ocular pressure and glaucoma, and atropine for the treatment of bradycardia and poisoning by muscarinic agents such as organophosphates.
Adenosine turnover in GtoPdb v.2021.3
Authors: Boison Detlev
Published: September 2021

A multifunctional, ubiquitous molecule, adenosine acts at cell-surface G protein-coupled receptors, as well as numerous enzymes, including protein kinases and adenylyl cyclase. Extracellular adenosine is thought to be produced either by export or by metabolism, predominantly through ecto-5’-nucleotidase activity (also producing inorganic phosphate). It is inactivated either by extracellular metabolism via adenosine deaminase (also producing ammonia) or, following uptake by nucleoside transporters, via adenosine deaminase or adenosine kinase (requiring ATP as co-substrate). Intracellular adenosine may be produced by cytosolic 5’-nucleotidases or through S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (also producing L-homocysteine).

Published: September 2021

P2Y receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on P2Y Receptors [3, 5, 192]) are activated by the endogenous ligands ATP, ADP, uridine triphosphate, uridine diphosphate and UDP-glucose. The relationship of many of the cloned receptors to endogenously expressed receptors is not yet established and so it might be appropriate to use wording such as 'uridine triphosphate-preferring (or ATP-, etc.) P2Y receptor' or 'P2Y1-like', etc., until further, as yet undefined, corroborative criteria can be applied [47, 110, 190, 383, 396]. Clinically used drugs acting on these receptors include the dinucleoside polyphosphate diquafosol, agonist of the P2Y2 receptor subtype, approved in Japan for the management of dry eye disease [241], and the P2Y12 receptor antagonists prasugrel, ticagrelor and cangrelor, all approved as antiplatelet drugs [53, 323].
5-HT3 receptors in GtoPdb v.2021.3
Authors: Barnes Nicholas M. , Hales Tim G. , Lummis Sarah C. R. , Niesler Beate , Peters John A.
Published: September 2021

The 5-HT3 receptor (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on 5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptors [69]) is a ligand-gated ion channel of the Cys-loop family that includes the zinc-activated channels, nicotinic acetylcholine, GABAA and strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors. The receptor exists as a pentamer of 4 transmembrane (TM) subunits that form an intrinsic cation selective channel [7]. Five human 5-HT3 receptor subunits have been cloned and homo-oligomeric assemblies of 5-HT3A and hetero-oligomeric assemblies of 5-HT3A and 5-HT3B subunits have been characterised in detail. The 5-HT3C (HTR3C, Q8WXA8), 5-HT3D (HTR3D, Q70Z44) and 5-HT3E (HTR3E, A5X5Y0) subunits [86, 125], like the 5-HT3B subunit, do not form functional homomers, but are reported to assemble with the 5-HT3A subunit to influence its functional expression rather than pharmacological profile [127, 66, 161]. 5-HT3A, -C, -D, and -E subunits also interact with the chaperone RIC-3 which predominantly enhances the surface expression of homomeric 5-HT3A receptor [161]. The co-expression of 5-HT3A and 5-HT3C-E subunits has been demonstrated in human colon [85]. A recombinant hetero-oligomeric 5-HT3AB receptor has been reported to contain two copies of the 5-HT3A subunit and three copies of the 5-HT3B subunit in the order B-B-A-B-A [9], but this is inconsistent with recent reports which show at least one A-A interface [99, 154]. The 5-HT3B subunit imparts distinctive biophysical properties upon hetero-oligomeric 5-HT3AB versus homo-oligomeric 5-HT3A recombinant receptors [35, 44, 59, 88, 143, 132, 82], influences the potency of channel blockers, but generally has only a modest effect upon the apparent affinity of agonists, or the affinity of antagonists ([19], but see [44, 33, 38]) which may be explained by the orthosteric binding site residing at an interface formed between 5-HT3A subunits [99, 154]. However, 5-HT3A and 5-HT3AB receptors differ in their allosteric regulation by some general anaesthetic agents, small alcohols and indoles [142, 139, 73]. The potential diversity of 5-HT3 receptors is increased by alternative splicing of the genes HTR3A and HTR3E [67, 21, 127, 126, 123]. In addition, the use of tissue-specific promoters driving expression from different transcriptional start sites has been reported for the HTR3A, HTR3B, HTR3D and HTR3E genes, which could result in 5-HT3 subunits harbouring different N-termini [156, 82, 123]. To date, inclusion of the 5-HT3A subunit appears imperative for 5-HT3 receptor function.

Published: September 2021

Calcium- and sodium- activated potassium channels are members of the 6TM family of K channels which comprises the voltage-gated KV subfamilies, including the KCNQ subfamily, the EAG subfamily (which includes hERG channels), the Ca2+-activated Slo subfamily (actually with 6 or 7TM) and the Ca2+- and Na+-activated SK subfamily (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Calcium- and sodium-activated potassium channels [125]). As for the 2TM family, the pore-forming a subunits form tetramers and heteromeric channels may be formed within subfamilies (e.g. KV1.1 with KV1.2; KCNQ2 with KCNQ3).

THEATRE MANAGEMENT INVESTIGATION OF FEMALE PROMISCUITY: PREGNANCY AND ABORTION IMPACT ON UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL THEATRES IN NIGERIA
Authors: Diakpomrere Vincent O.
Published: September 2021

This study investigates promiscuity impacts, pregnancy impacts and abortion impacts of female undergraduates on management of the University of Benin educational theatre program, with implications on general theatre practice including Muson and Nollywood, in Nigeria. There are widespread speculations that female undergraduate theatre students are promiscuous and therefore highly prone to pregnancies and abortions for reasons or factors not confirmed by research. At least no such specific extensive study has been carried out in the University of Benin Theatre on this topic. Yet many female students are branded and treated merely as ‘debased females and prospective prostitutes’, and do not enjoy the goodwill, support, respect and honor their counterparts in the social, basic and environmental sciences as well as other fields of academic studies enjoy. This would be tantamount to a great disservice and injustice that need to be urgently addressed if a rigorous academic inquiry proves otherwise. Not to mention the undiscovered negative impacts the problem may have had, or currently be having on the training and practice of theatre arts in Nigeria: hence this investigation. The methodology, the subjects of study and study sample were carefully and systematically determined. The findings are mostly positive regarding the negative behavior investigated. Hence the recommendations point to measures aimed at checking and restricting these vices as well as their impact to a minimum as well as towards improving the moral, academic and managerial framework of educational theatre programs in Nigeria.

El agua como tema transversal de actuación del derecho ambiental y sanitario en Brasil
Authors: Cardoso Neto Nicolau
Published: September 2021

La garantía de calidad de vida para la población brasileña involucra, sine qua non, acciones sobre la condición del medio ambiente. Las mismas pueden realizarse buscando la protección, prevención y mejoría de la condición ambiental —materias éstas del derecho ambiental— por medio de acciones que buscan identificar y detener los riesgos y divulgar las informaciones referentes a los factores ambientales que puedan causar enfermedades y otros agravios a la salud —acciones que competen al derecho sanitario—. Frente a tal constatación, el objeto de este estudio es analizar la problemática del agua como tema transversal de actuación en el derecho ambiental y sanitario. Este trabajo analizará el tema del agua por ser un tema común a dichos sistemas, con la intención de evaluar si las competencias y las estructuras del sistema ambiental y sanitario poseen composiciones diferentes actuando sobre el mismo asunto.
Regulación legal de las encuestas electorales: análisis teórico y comparado
Authors: Marshall Pablo , Charney John , Rosas Nelson
Published: September 2021

La importancia general que las encuestas electorales han adquirido y el impacto particular que se ha identificado que tienen en el periodo preelectoral han llevado a su regulación jurídica. Ello ha generado una discusión en torno a cuál es la regulación más adecuada para considerar los diferentes intereses en juego. El presente trabajo busca analizar críticamente la actual forma de regulación en el derecho comparado que, por un lado, establece un periodo blackout para la publicación de encuestas y, por otro, establece la obligación de disclosure para la comprensión y evaluación de los resultados de las encuestas. Se revisa el derecho comparado de forma panorámica y se ahonda en los casos de Estados Unidos, Canadá, España, Francia, Colombia y Chile. Se observa que las obligaciones de disclosure son menos problemáticas que el blackout en la medida que afecta de manera más tenue a las libertades de expresión e información. Sin embargo, al introducir algunos elementos teóricos que podrían servir para calificar y comprender mejor los intereses en juego, a saber, la libertad de expresión y el correcto funcionamiento de la democracia, se identifica una justificación robusta y satisfactoria no sólo para el disclosure sino también para el blackout.

Understanding the Rise of Mexican Migration to Canada
Authors: Jian Jisong , Chekaraou Ibrahim Abdou
Published: September 2021

This article shows that the number of people seeking asylum in Canada from Mexico continues and has increased at an exponential rate. Canada has become a favorite destination for Mexican asylum seekers while Canada accepts their claims at an alarmingly low rate compared to those from other nations. We argue that the reason Mexicans choose Canada to claim refugee status is due to Canada’s long history of open immigration policies and especially its economic and temporary labor agreements. These policies give the impression to Mexicans that they are welcome in Canada. This proved to be untrue when Canada changed its immigration and refugee policies in response, specifically, to the overwhelming number of Mexican refugee claims.
Freezing Financial Assets in The United States and in Mexico: Contrasts in Constitutionality and Legal Parallels

Published: September 2021

The purpose of this article is to understand how asset freezing works in the United States of America and in Mexico, as well as the contrasts and similarities in both systems. The threats posed to civil rights that can arise from asset freezing led us to compare the judicial criteria held by the US Courts and the corresponding reasoning in the Mexican legal system. Alternative rulings from European courts are also considered. Finally, some recommendations are made to improve due process in the Mexican legal system after preventing money laundering and funding terrorism when freezing financial assets.
Mexican Consular and Diplomatic Functions vis-à-vis Private International Law and Nationality Conflicts: Towards a New Normative Framework for the Twenty-First Century
Authors: Cicero Fernández Jorge
Published: September 2021

The study of Mexican law and practice makes it apparent that the regulation of several consular and diplomatic functions within the framework of the protection of nationals and dual or multiple nationals abroad, inheritance upon death (successions mortis causa), family law and international judicial assistance, needs to be updated in accordance with the development of private international law, information technologies and ciberspace. Ongoing preparatory work in drafting National Rules on Civil and Family Law Procedure presents an opportunity and framework to that effect, opening space for inter alia: the legal recognition of electronic apostilles (e-APPs); for regulating consular intervention on behalf of minors and persons lacking full capacity; for reasserting the mandatory six-week deadline for the child’s return in international child abduction procedures; as well as for enacting domestic provisions on the transmission and execution of requests of international judicial assistance by electronic means; as well as for digital research into foreign law. Mexico’s leadership would likewise be enhanced through the promotion of multilateral protocols on the subject and the negotiation of international judicial technologi-cal interconnection agreements; through the updating of official guidelines on consular protection for dual or multiple nationals; through the statutory definition of Mexican authorities entrusted with executing foreign requests regarding Mexican law; and in particular through the launching of a Presidential Program on International Human Mobility and high level programs connected to The law of the international movement of persons.
The Limits of the International Judicial Function of the Mexican Federal Judiciary
Authors: Petrova Georgieva Virdzhiniya
Published: September 2021

Mexican judges are increasingly acting as international law judges. Their international judicial function includes a basic understanding of a judicial function per se: dispute resolution through the application and interpretation of legal rules by an independent and impartial judicial body. The international character of this work depends on the recourse to international law as a legal basis for the dispute settlement of the particular cases brought to their jurisdiction. Mexican judges are performing an international judicial function when they interpret international law norms and principles, when they guarantee private persons’ rights and duties under international law, and when they assess the conformity of domestic legislation with the international law commitments of the Mexican state. However, at present, Mexican judges are not behaving as ordinary judges of all international law. The place of international law in the Mexican Constitution, the slow democratization of the Mexican presidential regime and the deference of Mexican judges to the executive in foreign affairs help explain the constraints upon the international judicial function as experienced by Mexican judges. The general context of the Mexican political regime impacts the role of the federal judiciary with regards to the promotion of respect for the rule of law, domestically and internationally.
Mexico’s Legal Framework Regarding Wastewater Management: A Case Study of Baja California Sur
Authors: Valdivia Alvarado Ana Teresa , Gámez Alba E. , Beltrán Morales Luis Felipe , Ortega-Rubio Alfredo
Published: September 2021

Wastewater is one of the principal causes of coastal ecosystem pollution and poses a threat to food security, drinking water access, public health, and ecosystem survival. However, wastewater can also be a reliable alternative source of water, provided specific changes are made. Mexico’s extensive and com¬plex legal framework involving various governmental agencies and overlapping jurisdictions makes it difficult to ascertain the specific responsibilities of various actors and enforce accountability in the area of wastewater management. The aim of this paper is to analyze the relevant law in order to determine whether it is the legislation itself which is generating adverse environmental impacts, or whether these impacts are the result of the wastewater management system as implemented. In this study, we analyze the legal framework applicable at each of the three levels of government in order to clarify the connections between these governmental entities from a perspective that has not been previously developed, which will be a useful point of departure for future research. To this end, the state of Baja California Sur (in northwestern Mexico) is presented as a case study insofar as it is representative of vulnerable coastal regions facing water scarcity. The methodology and systematic analysis of wastewater regulations employed in this paper facilitate both an evaluation of the efficacy of the current legal framework surrounding wastewater management, as well as the identification of changes needed in order to achieve environmental sustainability and protect water resources for present and future generations.
A Study on the Status and Prospects of Tasar Sericulture Industry and its Impact on Tribal Lives in Jharkhand
Authors: Mishra Priya
Published: September 2021

Abstract: This paper reviews the status and prospects of the “Tasar Silk Industry” in the state of Jharkhand. Tasar Sericulture is practiced in the states of Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana and Bihar with Jharkhand being the leading producer with 80% of the tasar silk production employing around 1.5 lakh farmers in rearing, reeling and weaving activities, This is an agro-based, cottage industry practiced as “a way of life” by the various tribal inhabitants of this state like Santhals, Hos, Uraons, Kerwars and others. Tasar silk is not only known for its charm, texture and its natural golden color, but it also has a high ethical value. It is known as “Ahimsa Silk” as it does not kill the silkworm by boiling the cocoons while it is still inside it. The fibre is extracted only after the silkworm (Antherea Mylitta and Antherea Proyeli J) has left the cocoons. Tasar sericulture is being promoted widely through premier bodies like The Central Silk Board and its subsidiary i.e Central Tasar Research and Training Institute; Ranchi, which has undertaken research and development and training programs, since its establishment in 1964, thereby improving the silk production as well as empowering the lives of weak and marginalized tribes of Jharkhand. Growing demands from foreign countries, elucidate the promising future of the tasar silk industry in Jharkhand which in turn would uplift the living qualities of the rural people. Heavy investment in this industry now, would bring good returns in future, not just in terms of an improved economy, but also an improved society. This paper highlights the fact that apart from the huge potential to earn foreign exchange for the country, tasar culture has immense ethical values and truly carves for us a path towards sustainable development. Keywords: Tasar, sericulture, Jharkhand, tribal, Ahimsa Silk, Sustainable Development.

This article describes the notions of conceptual category, categorical and subcategorical concepts. The purpose of the work is to provide the rationale for applying the term “categorical concept”. We also offer the method for designing conceptual category structure and identifying its elements. The key role for the method is assigned to categorical concept features. To exemplify that, we performed lexicographical analysis of the categorical concept FAMILY in Russian linguaculture. We carried out the analysis using etymological, associative, definition dictionaries and dictionaries of synonyms. The study showed some peculiarities of a conceptual category structure. Particularly, it was demonstrated that not all features of subcategorical concepts correspond to the categorical concept, at the same time, some elements of a category can be assigned to different categorical groups. The analysis showed a number of concept FAMILY features: «association of people», «home», «unity», «size», «children», «belonging to someone», «strength of relationship», etc...

The article discusses the reconstruction of the archetype of cardinal numbers, word formation of the categories of numbers in the Tungus-Manchu languages. Based on the available data on languages, 15 categories are analyzed: cardinal, ordinal, multiples, dividing, distributive, restrictive, collective, numerals for counting days, numerals for counting animals, numerals for counting households, numerals for counting fingers, numerals for counting pairs of objects, numerals for counting places and directions, numerals for counting various objects, numerals for counting the years of an animal. It turns out that certain forms are ancient, but most of them were formed later and were characteristic only for a certain group, subgroup or one language. Word-building patterns of numerals are connected with form-changing patterns, although in a number of cases syntactic functions of derivatives change, and sometimes we can observe forms with complex morphological structure, derived not only from cardinal numerals but also from numerals of other categories.
METAPHOR POWER AND SOURCE DOMAIN CONTENT: METAPHOR FUNCTIONAL TYPOLOGY INDEX

This article examines the dependence of the metaphor power in communication and patterns of the metaphorical mapping as well as methods for quantitative analysis of metaphors in the text. Metaphor functional typology index (MfTI) is proposed and tested. This index is based on the division of metaphors into orientational, ontological and structural, which perform descriptive, identification and restructuring functions. The mathematical logic of calculating the index assumes that, based on the final numerical value, one can draw a conclusion about the predominant function played by the system of metaphorical models in the text or discourse, and, as a result, analyze the level of its speech impact. This method was tested in practice to solve two research problems: a descriptive analysis of the whole text’s metaphor power and a comparative analysis of metaphorical models with different source domains and one target domain. We analyzed the metaphorical nature of the texts of the New Year addresses of the political leaders of the Russian Federation, China and Great Britain, the public speeches of V...

We present a novel mapping for studying 2D many-body quantum systems by solving an effective, one-dimensional long-range model in place of the original two-dimensional short-range one. In particular, we address the problem of choosing an efficient mapping from the 2D lattice to a 1D chain that optimally preserves the locality of interactions within the TN structure. By using Matrix Product States (MPS) and Tree Tensor Network (TTN) algorithms, we compute the ground state of the 2D quantum Ising model in transverse field with lattice size up to 64×64, comparing the results obtained from different mappings based on two space-filling curves, the snake curve and the Hilbert curve. We show that the locality-preserving properties of the Hilbert curve leads to a clear improvement of numerical precision, especially for large sizes, and turns out to provide the best performances for the simulation of 2D lattice systems via 1D TN structures.
Ensino de literaturas e decolonialidade: por uma educação literária democrática

O que se entende por “democracia” e por “direitos humanos” quando se defende uma educação literária democrática? E quando se defende a democratização das artes, em especial, da literatura? Partindo de um incômodo com algumas respostas a essas questões, cristalizadas na crítica literária e nas práticas de ensino de literaturas, este artigo tem o objetivo de problematizar e refletir sobre as concepções de democracia e de direitos humanos que embasam o ensino de literaturas no Brasil, propondo uma guinada a partir das teorias decoloniais. Para isso, revisitamos a obra “O direito à literatura”, de 1988, de Antonio Candido (2011), que se tornou referência básica em crítica, teoria, didática e ensino de literaturas até os dias de hoje, demonstrando como sua teoria se concentra na classe econômica e na apresentação dos bens culturais nacionais-universais em via de mão única para os estudantes desprivilegiados. Posteriormente, ainda que reconheçamos a relevância histórica da teoria de Candido, buscamos demonstrar, a partir da leitura de hooks (2017; 2019), Walsh (2009), Melo (2020) e outros autores, sua insuficiência para lidar com a realidade contemporânea dos jovens dentro e fora da escola. A partir daí, refletimos sobre a necessidade de um ensino de literaturas democrático, em direitos humanos, que se construa em diálogo e negociação não apenas com os grupos subalternos pertencentes a classes econômicas inferiores, mas também com os grupos subalternizados pela etnia, raça, gênero, sexualidade, localização geográfica etc., isto é, um ensino que se construa inclusive através da escuta.

Dentro do contexto formativo e pedagógico do subprojeto de Educação Física do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), o presente relato de experiência tem como objetivo central apresentar a produção dos educandos do ensino médio na problematização da disciplina de Educação Física. Para subsidiar as discussões, o relato mobiliza conceitos de “terceiro espaço” (ZEICHNER, 2010) e de “dialogicidade” (FREIRE, 1987), fundamentando as interlocuções entre o curso de formação de professores e os espaços escolares e propondo o ponto de partida principal para a referida proposta pedagógica. Assim, o relato conta com a descrição do cenário formativo/pedagógico, com a apresentação de alguns componentes da tematização e, principalmente, com a valorização dos conhecimentos construídos pelos educandos na fase da problematização, por meio do detalhamento de algumas produções dos Grupos Temáticos de Trabalho (GTT). Em linhas gerais, destacaram-se três aspectos centrais na produção dos educandos: a apropriação dos conteúdos da tematização; o reconhecimento dos educandos como produtores de conhecimento; e a multiplicidade de temas e formatos dos trabalhos apresentados.
