Published: November 2021

Solar radiation is the key energy source for most of the energy conversion systems, whether it is biological or mechanical. It is also the most fundamental energy source for future energy demand. Like most of the developing countries, India also lacks sufficient instrument facilities to measure global solar radiation (GSR) at recommended spatial interval and alternative approaches must be used to generate GSR data. In the present study, six well known empirical models were tested to estimate the GSR over twelve major cities of India using long-term global solar radiation and bright sunshine hour data. The empirical coefficients have been calculated for all the models and each location using regression analysis method. Daily GSR are then calculated using those regression constants along with statistical analysis. Results reveal that all the models shows close estimation with low mean bias error (MBE), root mean square error (RMSE) and mean percentage error (MPE) values. Among all models, linear exponential and linear logarithmic models are highly recommended for prediction of GSR throughout the country, except Shillong, where Bakircilinear exponential model is recommended. Significance tests i.e., t-test also confirms that this two model produce most significant results than others.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF CATASTROPHIC FLOOD OVER EASTERN INDIA IN JULY 2017 - A CASE STUDY

Published: November 2021

Floods are very common in eastern India during southwest monsoon season. It brings a lot of misery to the people of this region. Every year eastern Indian states namely West Bengal, Odisha and Bihar witness such types of flood during monsoon period. Major river basins in eastern India are Ganga river basin in Bihar and West Bengal area, Odisha has three river basins namely Mahanadi, Subarnarekha, Brahmani and Baitarani        [Fig. 1(a)]. As majority of tributary rivers of Ganga passing through Bihar and West Bengal; these two states are more prone to massive flood during monsoon season. The abnormal occurrence of rainfall generally causes floods. It occurs when surface runoff exceeds the capacity of natural drainage. The heavy rainfall is frequently occurring event over the area during South-West Monsoon (SWM) every year. The geographical location of the area, orography and its interaction with the basic monsoon flow is considered as one of prime factors of these heavy rainfall activities. Synoptically, the latitudinal oscillation of eastern end of the Monsoon Trough and the synoptic disturbances formed or passing over the eastern India region and / or its neighbourhood that brings moisture laden Easterly or South-Easterly winds over the area are the main causes responsible for heavy rainfall in this area.

Although the subject area of climate change is vast, the changing pattern of rainfall is a topic within this field that deserves urgent and systematic attention, since it affects both the availability of freshwater and food production (Dore, 2005). Climate change is one of the key global challenges in the present era. It refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its variability, persisting for an extended period typically decades or long (World Meteorological Organization). According to Fourth Assessment Report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world indeed has become more drought prone with higher frequencies of extreme events.
Evaluation of hydrological modeling using climatic station and gridded precipitation dataset

Published: November 2021

The conventional rainfall data estimates are relatively accurate at some points of the region. The interpolation of such type of data approximates the actual rainfield however in data scarce regions; the resulted rainfield is the rough estimate of the actual rainfall events. In data scarce regions like Indus basin Pakistan, the data obtained through remote sensing can be very useful. This research evaluates two types of gridded data i.e., European Reanalysis (ERA) interim and Japanese Reanalysis 55 years (JRA-55) along with the climatic station data for three small dams in Pakistan. Since no measured flow data is available at these dams, the nearest possible catchments where flow data is available are calibrated and the calibrated parameters of these catchments are then used in actual dams for simulating the flow from all the three types of data using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The results of the comparison of gridded and rainguage precipitation shows that gridded data highly overestimates the climatic station data. Similar results were observed in the comparison of flow simulated by SWAT model. The Peak flood calculated from JRA-55 overestimates while the Era-Interim peak floods are comparable to that of climatic stations in two of the three catchments.
Regional frequency analysis of daily maximum rainfall in Haryana
Authors: NAIN MOHIT , HOODA B. K.
Published: November 2021

This paper is sets-out for the regional frequency analysis of daily maximum rainfall from the 27 rain gauge stations in Haryana using L-moments. As the distribution of rainfall varies spatially in Haryana, the 27 rain gauge stations are grouped into three clusters namely, cluster C1, C2 and C3 using Ward’s clustering method and homogeneity of clusters was confirmed using L-moments-based Heterogeneity measure (H). Using goodness-of-fit measure ( DIST Z ) and L-moment ratios diagram, suitable regional frequency distributions were selected among five candidate distributions;Generalized Logistic (GLO), Generalized Extreme Value (GEV),Generalized Normal (GNO), Generalized Pareto (GPA), and Pearson Type-3 (PE3) for each cluster. Results showed that PE3 and GNO were good fitted regional distribution for the cluster C1 and GEV, PE3 and GNO fitted for cluster C2 while for cluster C3; GLO and GEV were good fitted regional distribution. To select a robust distribution among good fitted distributions accuracy measures calculated using Monte Carlo simulations for each cluster. The simulation result showed that PE3 was the best choice for quantile estimation for cluster C1. For cluster C2, PE3 was the best choicefor a large return period and GEV was best for a small return period. For cluster C3, GEV was the most suitable distribution for quantile estimation. Using these robust distributions rainfall quantiles were estimated at each rain gauge station from 2 to 100 year return periods. These estimated rainfall quantiles may be rough guideline for planning and designing hydraulic structures by policy makers and structural engineers.

Verificou-se que 67,7% dos participantes praticam exercícios e que a percepção geral de qualidade de sono é significativamente maior neste grupo, em comparação ao que não pratica. Sugere-se que a qualidade de sono pode estar prejudicada pelo horário de trabalho e pela quantidade de horas dormidas. A prática de exercícios pode ser uma alternativa para melhora da qualidade de sono e da percepção da qualidade de vida.
Early Pentecostal Eschatology
Authors: Wiyono Gani
Published: November 2021

Few studies have been devoted to early Pentecostal eschatology.1  One of them, that of by Gerald T. Sheppard merits special attention.  Sheppard’s article attempts show that “Pentecostals were not originally dispensationalist-fundamentalist and that the efforts secondarily to embrace such views have raised new problems for the identity of Pentecostals – hermeneutically, sociologically and politically.”2 The procedure taken by Sheppard is to investigate early Pentecostal eschatology as reflected in the writings of some early Pentecostal figures.  Unfortunately, he excludes some important earliest Pentecostal figures such as Charles F. Parham,  William J. Seymour, and G. F. Taylor.  Moreover, some important Pentecostal writers, such as Daniel W. Kerr, that merit special attention due to their distinctive eschatology, have been left out.  It is the purpose of this paper to fill “empty space” within Sheppard’s article.  It will investigate specifically the eschatological views of Pentecostal writers prior to 1920.  The conclusion certainly affirms the Sheppard’ thesis that originally the Pentecostal eschatology was not purely dispensational.  Besides, it will be shown that early Pentecostal views on eschatology were not absolutely uniform.
PENDIDIKAN TINGGI KRISTEN DI INDONESIA: Sarjana Pantekosta Berebut Ruang di Indonesia
Authors: Tambunan Elia
Published: November 2021

Pentecostal studies are too prevalent in terms revivalism, movements, and denominations globally. This paper is different because of the anthropological aspects of Pentecostalism outlines how intellectuals Pantecost defines itself in a variety of social situations in which they live. Through a combined quantitative and qualitative research, the authors found Pantecostal scholars find themselves in the time of torpor to redefine themselves and their strategic position in the social reality. Pantecostal scholars could be seen as a representation of the face of Christian higher education in Indonesia. The time of torpor in Pantecostal scholars start from the process of education in higher education who have feelings too in love with its own identity so that the bad impact on the general principles of a system of community-wide. This paper can be seen as a Pantecostal Church in Indonesia (GPdI) scholar contribution towards Pentecostal studies globally from the anthropologist perspective with the Pantecostal scholar use as the unit of analysis in the study of religion is still rarely used by the religious scholar in Indonesia.

Studi Pentakosta yang ada terlalu lazim dalam hal revivalisme, gerakan-gerakan, dan denominasi secara global. Tulisan ini berbeda karena menguraikan Pentakostalisme dari aspek antropologis bagaimana kaum intelektual Pantekosta mendefinisikan dirinya sendiri dalam berbagai situasi sosial di mana mereka hidup. Lewat penelitian gabungan kuantitatif dan kualitatif, penulis menemukan kelambanan sarjana Pantekosta untuk mendefinisikan ulang diri dan posisi strategis mereka dalam realitas sosial yang sangat luas. Sarjana Pantekosta bisa dilihat sebagai representasi wajah pendidikan tinggi Kristen di Indonesia. Kelambanan itu bermula dari proses pendidikan sarjana di lembaga pendidikan tinggi yang memiliki perasaan terlalu cinta kepada identitas sendiri sehingga berdampak buruk pada prinsip-prinsip umum dari satu sistem masyarakat luas. Tulisan ini bisa dilihat sebagai satu kontribusi Gereja Pantekosta di Indonesia terhadap studi Pentakosta secara global dari sisi antropologis dengan menggunakan sarjana Pantekosta sebagai unit analisis dalam studi agama yang masih jarang dipakai sarjana keagamaan di Indonesia.
STUDI PERSEPSI MASYARAKAT KRISTEN: Perbedaan Pandang Gereja-Gereja Jabotabek Atas Roh Kudus
Authors: Chandra Robby , Tambunan Elia
Published: November 2021

This is a preliminary study to explore the relationship between the church denomination background with their members’ perception of the Holy Spirit’s role, the function of baptism in the Spirit, and the locus of the Holy Spirit’s presence as how they percepted.  Respondents were chosen based on cluster and availability in quantitative research approach. Before, it is hypothesized that subjects’ denominational background as the independent variable correlates positively with their view of the Holy Spirit role, the function of Baptism in the Spirit, and their understanding about the presence of the Holy Spirit today. By using Pearson correlation test, it is found that no strong correlation between the subjects’ denomination background with their view of the roles of the Holy Spirit, the function of Baptism in the Spirit, and the locus of the Holy Spirit’s presence. Various possibilities were discussed to shed light of the phenomenon primarily in relation to the statements of many theologians that Western or some of Eastern churches tend to neglect holistic experience and theological concepts of the Spirit. The scientific contribution of this paper is to include the study of Christian perceptions as a field of study in practical theology, and also in Pentecostalism which has not been much in the Indonesian context.

Ini adalah studi pendahuluan untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara latar belakang denominasi gereja dengan persepsi anggotanya tentang peran Roh Kudus, fungsi baptisan dalam Roh, dan lokus kehadiran Roh Kudus sebagaimana persepsi mereka. Responden dipilih berdasarkan cluster dan ketersediaan dalam pendekatan penelitian kuantitatif. Sebelumnya, dihipotesiskan bahwa latar belakang kelompok keagamaan sebagai variabel independen berkorelasi positif dengan pandangan mereka tentang peran Roh Kudus, fungsi Baptisan dalam Roh, dan pemahaman mereka tentang kehadiran Roh Kudus dewasa ini. Dengan menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson, ditemukan bahwa tidak ada korelasi yang kuat antara latar belakang denominasi subyek dengan pandangan mereka tentang peran Roh Kudus, fungsi Baptisan dalam Roh, dan tempat kehadiran Roh Kudus. Berbagai kemungkinan dibahas untuk menjelaskan fenomena ini terutama sehubungan dengan pernyataan banyak teolog bahwa gereja-gereja Barat atau Timur cenderung mengabaikan pengalaman holistik dan konsep-konsep teologis Roh. Sumbangan ilmiah dari tulisan ini ialah memasukkan studi persepsi masyakat Kristen sebagai satu bidang kajian dalam teologi praktika, dan juga dalam Pentakostalisme yang belom banyak dalam konteks Indonesia.

Kemajuan suatu lembaga dapat diukur dari kualitas dan kemajuan seluruh unit yang berada di bawahnya. Sumber daya manusia dan sumber daya manusia dalam suatu organisasi atau lembaga ditentukan oleh kualitas pendidikan sumber daya manusianya. Oleh karena itu, lembaga ini memiliki tugas untuk memberikan sistem pendidikan yang menjamin semua warga negara termasuk semua sumber daya manusia yang terlibat dalam lembaga tersebut untuk mendapatkan pendidikan yang berkualitas tinggi. Menyelenggarakan pendidikan yang bermutu tentunya berarti menganggarkan anggaran yang besar dalam bidang pendidikan. Akibatnya, lembaga harus membuat anggaran besar di dalamnya. Untuk mengalokasikan anggaran sebesar ini, semua elemen di lembaga ini harus berpikir realistis untuk menemukan jumlah anggaran yang sebenarnya. Selain 20% dari total anggaran (APBN) untuk tujuan nasional pendidikan berkualitas tinggi, mereka harus mendapatkan uang dari bisnis lain untuk membantu kebutuhan lembaga. Sebagai lembaga pendidikan, sekolah (madrasah) juga harus merespon dan berkontribusi secara intelektual terhadap pendidikan nasional. Mereka harus berbagi tanggung jawab untuk mewujudkan pendidikan bangsa yang berkualitas, sehingga dapat memberikan kualitas yang tinggi kepada alumninya.

The Book of Psalms is one of the books that has many references about the crisis of life, one of which is Psalm 3. Therefore, the author feels it is necessary to examine how the use of Psalm 3 to be a reference for the implementation of crisis counseling. The author uses the method of analyzing the Book of Psalms to get the true meaning of the text of Psalm 3. So as to obtain the results that Psalm 3 can be used to counsel people who are bullied, experience sadness, loneliness, worthlessness and feel rejected. The conviction held by David that God never left him also needed to be implanted in the hearts of counselees who experienced a situation like this. Kitab Mazmur merupakan salah satu kitab yang memiliki banyak referensi mengenai krisis hidup, salah satunya adalah Mazmur 3. Oleh sebab itu penulis merasa perlu diteliti bagaimana pemanfaatan Mazmur 3 untuk menjadi acuan bagi pelaksanaan konseling krisis. Penulis menggunakan metode analisis Kitab Mazmur untuk mendapatkan makna sesungguhnya dari teks Mazmur 3. Sehingga memperoleh hasil bahwa Mazmur 3 dapat digunakan untuk mengkonseling orang-orang yang di-bully, mengalami kesedihan, kesepian, tidak berharga dan merasa tertolak.  Keyakinan yang dimiliki oleh Daud bahwa Tuhan tidak pernah meninggalkan  dia juga perlu ditanamkan dalam hati konseli yang mengalami situasi seperti ini.
THE ECONOMIC POLICY OF TURKEY’S JUSTICE & DEVELOPMENT PARTY – QUITE ‘UN-ISLAMIC’ IN SOME ASPECTS
Authors: Ulchenko Natalia
Published: November 2021

This article reviews the economic policy of Turkey’s ruling Justice & Development Party. We’ll see, that, contrary to the Islamic tenets, which it is bound to espouse, the Party has been making the country ever more dependent on the external sources of finance. On the one hand, the inflow of the foreign capital has fostered the rapid economic growth. But on the other hand, Turkey already is and obviously, will continue to be hostage to increased dependence on the inflow/outflow of funds from the outside.
SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, INNOVATION, AND GOVERNANCE: THE CASE OF THE ECONOMY OF COMMUNION IN ITALY
Authors: Ozzano Luca
Published: November 2021

The Economy of Communion (EoC) movement is one of the most interesting phenomena both in today’s Catholicism and in the global field of spiritually oriented entrepreneurship. This model – first elaborated by the founder of the Focolare movement, Chiara Lubich – is focused on a ‘culture of giving’; on the development of a relation of ‘communion’ with employees, customers and even competitors; on transparency and fairness; and on environmental sustainability. Although grounded in the Gospel and the Catholic Church’s social doctrine, it is meant as a business model which can be adopted also by people belonging to other religious traditions, and even by non-believers. This paper, based on interviews to people involved in the EoC movement and on other primary and secondary sources, will analyse the movement in Italy, focusing on a side understudied by the literature: the complex web of organizations which provide it with a structure and a governance. Particularly, the paper will show how such organizations try to strike a balance between preserving the movement’s identity and Chiara Lubich’s message, and spreading the EoC model by trying to make it popular, also outside the Focolare movement.

The paper deals with questions appearing at investigation of high explosive-fragmentation heads of medium calibre when the blast waves (BW) generated by the flying fragments affect the results of velocity of the BW generated by the head itself (HBW). A method used by the authors for protection of measurement sensors against destructive action of the fragments is described. Distribution of produced fragments regarding the sizes and in function of scattering angle was studied. Mean velocity of highest speed (2100 m/s) fragments was measured on the base of first 10 m. Distribution of HBW velocities in function of radius of propagation was measured.

Authors: Sanchez Thais Paragis , Borchardt Danielle , Tribis Leonardo
Published: November 2021

Problema: O significado de demanda espontânea é a busca dos pacientes por atendimento por sua autopercepção ou por alguma intercorrência clínica. Por muitas vezes, essa porta de entrada é utilizada de maneira recorrente pelos mesmos pacientes, sobrecarregando o serviço sem que eles tenham suas necessidades resolvidas. Métodos: O objetivo deste trabalho transversal e descritivo foi reorganizar de forma equânime o atendimento à demanda espontânea odontológica através da elaboração de instrumento para caracterizar o perfil dos pacientes da Unidade Básica de Saúde Jardim das Palmas, uso da classificação de risco por cores (CAB 28), escala de dor e prioridade clínica odontológica e garantir a continuidade do cuidado destes na atenção básica. Resultados: Tivemos a priorização das urgências, criação de planilha com dados dos 3.640 pacientes que compareceram de abril de 2016 à fevereiro de 2018 à demanda espontânea, além das classificações de risco de cárie, periodontal, tecido mole, oclusão e escala de coelho familiar, para intervenção na vulnerabilidade social destes pela discussão de casos e projetos terapêuticos singulares com equipe multidisciplinar. Através dessas classificações, as agendas dos cirurgiões dentistas foram readequadas para que fosse possível o atendimento das urgências de fato com o aumento dos horários para as vagas de urgência, foi dado acesso ao tratamento odontológico aos pacientes com alta vulnerabilidade social e risco odontológico, e acesso aos grupos de prevenção para os pacientes de baixo risco odontológico. Conclusão: A gestão da demanda espontânea odontológica foi de grande valia para a organização do serviço e maior acesso de forma mais equânime e cuidado longitudinal dos pacientes.

Published: November 2021

Cancer treatment is always improving with new techniques and drugs, applied in a process with rigorous medical analysis. One way to analyze medical outcomes is to test a new drug in one group and placebos in another. In this article, we used a database with the results of a new drug for preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. After processing the database, we apply the Triadic Formal Concept approach to extract triadic rules, implications, and conditions that are used to identify correlations throughout the medical sessions. Our study shows that triadic analysis can help scientists perform clinical analyzes efficiently by looking at patient history data.
Using Named Entities for Recognizing Family Relationships

Published: November 2021

Named Entity Recognition problem’s objective is to automatically identify and classify entities like persons, places,organizations, and so forth. That is an area in Natural Language Processing and Information Extraction. NamedEntity Recognition is important because it is a fundamental step of preprocessing for several applications like relationextraction. However, it is a hard problem to solve as several categories of named entities are written similarly andthey appear in similar contexts. To accomplish it, we can use some hybrid approaches. Nevertheless, in this presentstudy, we use linguistic flavor by applying Local Grammar and Cascade of Transducers. Local Grammars are used torepresent the rules of a particular linguistic structure. They are often built manually to describe the entities we aimto recognize. In our study, we adapted a Local Grammar to improve the Recognition of Named Entities. The resultsshow an improvement of up to 7% on the F-measure metric in relation to the previous Local Grammar. Also, we builtanother Local Grammar to recognize family relationships from the improved Local Grammar. We present a practicalapplication for the extracted relationships using Prolog.
Philosophiegeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Seubert Harald
Published: November 2021

This book provides an overall account of the history of philosophy in the 20th century from a clear philosophical perspective. It shows the new departure in philosophical thinking through Frege and Husserl: The validity of philosophical thinking emancipated itself from psychology and historicism through the dictum ‘To the things themselves!’. Phenomenological and hermeneutic philosophy has diverged greatly from language-analytical philosophy since Heidegger and Wittgenstein. This fascinating book shows, in contrast to the history of culture and science, the common basic questions of these two forms of philosophy despite all their differences, and attempts to address the great philosophical questions in a nuanced manner and to keep them open in a world of disenchantment (M. Weber).

Authors: Ghorbani Farzad , Yazdanian Mohsen , Tahmasebi Elahe , Izadi Morteza , Mofid Bahram , Varpaei Hesam Aldin
Published: November 2021

Background: Oral mucositis and local pain are the negative effects of the treatment of head and neck cancer with radiotherapy. Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the effect of ozonated water on the severity of mucositis and pain in (1) patients who were treated with ozonated water and (2) patients who were not treated with ozonated water. Methods: We randomly divided 93 patients with head and neck malignancy (aged 18 to 80) into three groups. Ozone-treated group 1 rinsed their mouth with 15 mL of ozonated water with a concentration of 20 - 50 ppm from the first session of radiotherapy for one minute before and after each session. Ozone-treated group 2 rinsed their mouth with 15 mL of ozonated water with a concentration of 20 - 50 ppm for three minutes and then swallowed it before and after each session. Ozone-treated groups 1 and 2 and the non-ozone-treated group received standard treatment if mucositis symptoms appeared in each patient. The minimum number of radiotherapy sessions was 30, and the minimum planned dose for each patient was 50 Gray. Anamnesis and the following clinical parameters were taken: the degree of mucositis, the use of corticosteroids, radiotherapy method, radiation dose, and Pain Visual Analog Scale. Multi-level and subgroup analyses were performed on the ozone-treated and non-ozone-treated levels. Results: The mean degrees of oral mucositis and pain were lower in the ozone-treated group 2 than in the ozone-treated group 1 and non-ozone-treated group (P < 0.05). The non-ozone-treated group had the highest degrees of oral mucositis and pain severity (P < 0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis H test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the Visual Analog Scale of sessions 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 between different groups. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the Visual Analog Scale of session 1 (χ2 (2) = 1.022, P = 0.6). This study revealed that ozonated water can be used for preemptive pain control and mucositis. This finding aligned with previous studies. Also, former research proved the safety and efficacy of ozonated water in dentistry and medical uses. Conclusions: The use of ozonated water in patients with head and neck malignancy can reduce the pain severity and oral mucositis induced by radiotherapy. It seems that ozonated water can be used as a preemptive agent in patients who receive head and neck radiotherapy.
Evaluation of Radiographers’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Performance Regarding Gonadal Shielding in Diagnostic Radiology Examinations: Southern Khorasan Province Hospitals of Iran
Authors: Hamzian Nima , Asadian Saeed , Golestani Asiye , Zarghani Hassan
Published: November 2021

Background: Nowadays, ionizing radiation is increasingly used in medicine. One of the most frequent X-ray examinations is pelvic radiography. Gonads are susceptible in the pelvic area. Gonadal shielding (GS) is a useful method to reduce the received dose by gonads. Despite the benefits of using gonadal shielding, it is rarely used by radiographers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in ten governmental hospitals with 300 radiographs. Results: The radiographers’ knowledge of using GS had a value equal to 59.1%. However, the radiographers did not have enough information on the subject, although their awareness about the significance of GS was acceptable. Conclusions: Although the radiographers believed in the necessity of using GS for pelvic, abdominal, and spine examinations, they used no shields.

Authors: Wu Shun Wong Felix , Li Chengzhi
Published: November 2021

: Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia is a premalignant skin lesion of the vulva that often presents with severe vulvar pruritus, pain, and psychosexual disorders. The technology of non-invasive focused ultrasound surgery has improved over the years. Today its potential to treat these irritating diseases noninvasively is a relatively new area of clinical research interest. Increasing studies in China revealed that FUS treatment is effective and safe. This paper describes the preparation, technique, postoperative care, and results of this focused ultrasound surgery for treating vulvar non-neoplastic epithelial disease. Therefore it could be a future alternative treatment for benign vulvar diseases, replacing many invasive surgical treatments.

Published: November 2021

Background: Long-term care of the children with epilepsy and lack of psycho-educational training will lead to caregiver burden. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a psycho-educational training program on caregiver burden in families with pediatric epileptic children. Methods: This is a clinical trial study with two groups of experimental and control with three stages of Before, Immediately later, One month after the intervention. The population of the study consisted of family caregivers of children with epilepsy referring to Imam Hossein and Kashani Hospitals in Isfahan, Iran. Seventy families of children (ages 6 - 18years) with epilepsy participated in this study in 2018. The samples were randomly assigned to experimental (35) and control (35) groups using sequential convenience sampling method. The experimental group received a psycho-educational training program in eight sessions (90-minute) in four groups (8 - 9 members), and training was held two sessions a week. The control group participated in three sessions and expressed their problems and experiences. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) that consisted of 22 items and a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods and SPSS18 were used for data analysis. Results: Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of experimental and control in terms of caregiver burden (P = 0.917). However, there was a significant difference between the three time stages in the intervention group after the intervention (P < 0.05; f = 3.511). Meanwhile, the mean score of caregiver burden decreased during the intervention period than before the study (P < 0.05; f = 166.60), while the mean score of caregiver burden did not increase significantly in the control group over time (P = 0.036). Conclusions: The results showed that in a family with school-age epileptic children, appropriate programs and training methods are needed to decrease caregiver burden; so it is necessary to develop and use such programs by the treatment team members.

The False Promise of Progress: Human Rights and the Legitimation of Inequality
Authors: Wamaitha Nelly ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2021

Modernity’s social betterment programs such as human rights depend upon a narrative of progress. Progress sustains the ideology that the problems of the non-Western and non-white world are caused by a lagging behind in time that prevents the embrace of the norms that deliver social progress and not by unjust structures of global political and economic power. Progress frames the problem of inequality as cultural rather than political. This occlusion of power means that human rights do not attempt to address important power differences between the Global North and the Global South. Because human rights discourse is undergirded by progress, material human rights frames and institutions actually prevent radical change and reproduce imperial domination. Human rights, therefore, cannot deliver on their promise of equality. This promise must instead be entrusted to an eschatological hope that rejects progress and is disruptive of ongoing oppressive power arrangements.
Symbolic-anthroposophic Intentions and interinfluence of literary texts in the works of Maximilian Voloshin
Authors: Shevchuk Veronika Gennadiyevna
Published: November 2021

This article carries out a culturological analysis of the artistic worldview of the poet, artist, art historian, and art critic Maximilian Voloshin (1877–1932) – one of the prominent representatives of the Silver Age. The object of this research is the diversity of artistic space of M. Voloshin, while the subject is the interinfluence of his literary texts. The author aims to determine the symbolic-anthroposophic intentions in the artistic space of M. Voloshin as a complex semiotic formation that comprises the continuum of various texts: visual, verbal, nonverbal, and others. Maximilam Voloshin’s reasoning on the symbolic nature are reflected in his theoretical works and correspondence with cultural figures. In his articles, Voloshin advanced the idea that the artist refers to the spatial form of art by means intuition and inner consciousness. The poem “Rouen Cathedral” by M. Voloshin is vivid example of the synthesis of poetic and picturesque texts. M. Voloshin’s engagement in construction of the Goetheanum in Dornach headed by the German anthroposophist R. Steiner contributed to the development of the new worldview, which is reflected in the original watercolor “Dornach Album”. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that the personality of M. Voloshin is presented as a metatext, complex semiotic space that intertwined visual (iconic), verbal and other texts that embody the symbolic and anthroposophic intentions. It is established that the use of symbolic and anthroposophic intentions by M. Voloshin, as well as the synthesis of visual, verbal and other texts, characterize the diversity and synthetism of his worldview, although he did not fully apprehended the views of the symbolists and anthroposophists. All these principles formed the artistic space of M. Voloshin as metatext in a single guise – poet, artist, and philosopher.

Abnormalities in skeletal muscle repair can lead to poor function and complications such as scarring or heterotopic ossification (HO). Here, we use fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a disease of progressive HO caused by ACVR1R206H (Activin receptor type-1 receptor) mutation, to elucidate how ACVR1 affects skeletal muscle repair. Rare and unique primary FOP human muscle stem cells (Hu-MuSCs) isolated from cadaveric skeletal muscle demonstrated increased extracellular matric (ECM) marker expression, showed skeletal muscle-specific impaired engraftment and regeneration ability. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived muscle stem/progenitor cells (iMPCs) single-cell transcriptome analyses from FOP also revealed unusually increased ECM and osteogenic marker expression compared to control iMPCs. These results show that iMPCs can recapitulate many aspects of Hu-MuSCs for detailed in vitro study; that ACVR1 is a key regulator of Hu-MuSC function and skeletal muscle repair; and that ACVR1 activation in iMPCs or Hu-MuSCs may contribute to HO by changing the local tissue environment.

Endothelial cells (ECs) in the central nervous system (CNS) acquire their specialized blood–brain barrier (BBB) properties in response to extrinsic signals, with Wnt/β-catenin signaling coordinating multiple aspects of this process. Our knowledge of CNS EC development has been advanced largely by animal models, and human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offer the opportunity to examine BBB development in an in vitro human system. Here, we show that activation of Wnt signaling in hPSC-derived naïve endothelial progenitors, but not in matured ECs, leads to robust acquisition of canonical BBB phenotypes including expression of GLUT-1, increased claudin-5, decreased PLVAP, and decreased permeability. RNA-seq revealed a transcriptome profile resembling ECs with CNS-like characteristics, including Wnt-upregulated expression of LEF1, APCDD1, and ZIC3. Together, our work defines effects of Wnt activation in naïve ECs and establishes an improved hPSC-based model for interrogation of CNS barriergenesis.
The right time for senescence
Authors: Paramos-de-Carvalho Diogo , Jacinto Antonio , Saúde Leonor
Published: November 2021

Cellular senescence is a highly complex and programmed cellular state with diverse and, at times, conflicting physiological and pathological roles across the lifespan of an organism. Initially considered a cell culture artifact, senescence evolved from an age-related circumstance to an intricate cellular defense mechanism in response to stress, implicated in a wide spectrum of biological processes like tissue remodelling, injury and cancer. The development of new tools to study senescence in vivo paved the way to uncover its functional roles in various frameworks, which are sometimes hard to reconcile. Here, we review the functional impact of senescent cells on different organismal contexts. We provide updated insights on the role of senescent cells in tissue repair and regeneration, in which they essentially modulate the levels of fibrosis and inflammation, discussing how “time” seems to be the key maestro of their effects. Finally, we overview the current clinical research landscape to target senescent cells and contemplate its repercussions on this fast-evolving field.

Liverwort Marchantia polymorpha is considered as the key species for addressing a myriad of questions in plant biology. Exploration of drought tolerance mechanism(s) in this group of land plants offers a platform to identify the early adaptive mechanisms involved in drought tolerance. The current study aimed at elucidating the drought acclimation mechanisms in liverwort’s model M. polymorpha. The gemmae, asexual reproductive units of M. polymorpha, were exposed to sucrose (0.2 M), mannitol (0.5 M) and polyethylene glycol (PEG, 10%) for inducing physiological drought to investigate their effects at morphological, physiological and biochemical levels. Our results showed that drought exposure led to extreme growth inhibition, disruption of membrane stability and reduction in photosynthetic pigment contents in M. polymorpha. The increased accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde, and the rate of electrolyte leakage in the gemmalings of M. polymorpha indicated an evidence of drought-caused oxidative stress. The gemmalings showed significant induction of the activities of key antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione S-transferase, and total antioxidant activity in response to increased oxidative stress under drought. Importantly, to counteract the drought effects, the gemmalings also accumulated a significant amount of proline, which coincided with the evolutionary presence of proline biosynthesis gene Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase 1 (P5CS1) in land plants. Furthermore, the application of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) reduced drought-induced tissue damage and improved the activities of antioxidant enzymes and accumulation of proline, implying an archetypal role of this phytohormone in M. polymorpha for drought tolerance. We conclude that physiological drought tolerance mechanisms governed by the cellular antioxidants, proline and ABA were adopted in liverwort M. polymorpha, and that these findings have important implications in aiding our understanding of osmotic stress acclimation processes in land plants.
