1622, the Fatal Year for the Discalced Carmelites: The Canonisation of Teresa, the Crystallisation of Conventual Typologies, and the Reinvention of Iconography
Authors: Sturm Saverio
Published: March 2023

1622 was a crucial year for the Discalced Carmelite Order. This essay intends to highlight and connect a series of events surrounding the fateful canonisation of the foundress Teresa of Ávila on 12 March 1622. On 6 January of that year, the Congregation of Propaganda Fide had been founded with the fundamental contribution of Carmelite missionaries. On 8 May 1622, the important Carmelite Church of San Paolo Apostolo in Rome was re-consecrated to Santa Maria della Vittoria, with celebrations and popular processions, in memory of the “victory” of the White Mountain in 1620 over the Protestant Bohemian troops, favoured by the intercession of Maximilian of Bavaria’s military chaplain, Carmelite Dominic of Jesus Maria. In the years that immediately followed, numerous male and female foundations dedicated to the newly-canonised St. Teresa proliferated in Rome and Italy, according to common iconographic and conventual models elaborated centrally by the order’s new hierarchies.
A Hieroglyphic seal from the cult centre of the city of Knossos (KN S (4/4) 01)
Authors: Kanta Athanasia , Palaima Thomas G. , Perna Massimo
Published: March 2023

The Hieroglyphic seal KN S (4/4) 01, found in the Neopalatial Room 3 of the Cult Centre of the City of Knossos, is a document of considerable importance in the study of Cretan script for several reasons.

With regard to iconography and palaeography, we have identified for the first time the true idealized form of sign 095, and that permits us to correct our understanding of the shape of other examples of the same sign and thereby to improve our knowledge of the palaeographical development of the Hieroglyphic script.

Furthermore, this new document preserves one more attestation of the socalled Arkhanes “formula” and shows a connection between this “formula” and the fraction signs.

Finally, this seal confirms also a relationship between this “formula” and the logogram *181 on the one hand and the sign 010 on the other hand.

Published: March 2023

In recent years, off-label use of sirolimus (SIR) has been gaining attention in the clinical practice. However, since it is critical to achieve and maintain therapeutic blood levels of SIR during treatment, the regular monitoring of this drug in individual patients must be implemented, especially in off-label indications of this drug. In this article, a fast, simple, and reliable analytical method for determining SIR levels in whole blood samples is proposed. Sample preparation based on dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was fully optimized toward the analysis of SIR and proposed as a fast, simple, and reliable analytical method for determining the pharmacokinetic profile of SIR in whole-blood samples. In addition, the practical applicability of the proposed DLLME-LC-MS/MS method was evaluated by analyzing the pharmacokinetic profile of SIR in whole blood samples obtained from two pediatric patients suffering from lymphatic anomalies, receiving this drug as off-label clinical indication. The proposed methodology can be successfully applied in routine clinical practice for the fast and precise assessment of SIR levels in biological samples, thus allowing SIR dosages to be adjusted in real time during pharmacotherapy. Moreover, the measured SIR levels in the patients indicate the need for monitoring between doses to ensure the optimal pharmacotherapy of patients.
Effects of osteogenic growth peptide C-terminal pentapeptide and its analogue on bone remodeling in an osteoporosis rat model

Published: March 2023

This study aimed to explore the effects of osteogenic growth peptide C-terminal pentapeptide (G36G), and its analog G48A on bone modeling in rats with ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. Ovariectomized rats were administered PBS (OVX group), risedronate (RISE group), G36G combined with risedronate (36GRI group), G36G (G36G group), or G48A (G48A group). The sham-operation rats (SHAM group) were administered PBS. Serum osteocalcin and IGF-2 levels in the SHAM, OVX, G36G, G48A, and RISE groups were observably lower than the 36GRI group (P < 0.01) and the bone mineral density of the entire femur, distal metaphysis, and lumbar L1–L4 in the 36GRI group were notably increased (P < 0.05). The bending energy of the 36GRI group was prominently higher than the other groups (P < 0.05). Other features measured in the study that provided significant outcomes was the ratio of femora ash weight/dry weigh, parameters of trabecular bone volume (TBV)/total tissue volume, TBV/sponge bone volume, mean trabecular plate thickness, mean trabecular plate space, bone surface, parameters of sfract(s) and sfract(d), tetracycline-labeled, and osteoid surfaces. Bone loss in ovariectomized rats may be partially inhibited by G36G and G48A. A combination treatment with G36G and risedronate may be an effective intervention for osteoporosis.

Montalvo, S, Martinez, A, Arias, S, Lozano, A, Gonzalez, MP, Dietze-Hermosa, MS, Boyea, BL, and Dorgo, S. Smartwatches and commercial heart rate monitors: a concurrent validity analysis. J Strength Cond Res 37(9): 1802–1808, 2023—The purpose of this study was to explore the concurrent validity of 2 commercial smartwatches (Apple Watch Series 6 and 7) against a clinical criterion device (12-lead electrocardiogram [ECG]) and a field criterion device (Polar H-10) during exercise. Twenty-four male collegiate football players and 20 recreationally active young adults (10 men and 10 women) were recruited and participated in a treadmill-based exercise session. The testing protocol included 3 minutes of standing still (resting), then walking at low intensity, jogging at a moderate intensity, running at a high intensity, and postexercise recovery. The intraclass correlation (ICC2,k), and Bland-Altman plot analyses showed a good validity of the Apple Watch Series 6 and Series 7 with increased error (bias) as jogging and running speed increased in the football and recreational athletes. The Apple Watch Series 6 and 7 are highly valid smartwatches at rest and different exercise intensities, with validity decreasing with increased running speed. Strength and conditioning professionals and athletes can confidently use the Apple Watch Series 6 and 7 when tracking heart rate; however, caution must be taken when running at moderate or higher speeds. The Polar H-10 can surrogate a clinical ECG for practical applications.
Syncytial and Congregative Effects of Dengue and Zika Viruses on the Aedes Albopictus Cell Line Differ among Viral Strains
Authors: Liu Dongxiao , Obwolo Lilian Akello , Cruz-Cosme Ruth , Tang Qiyi
Published: March 2023

Objective:

Dengue viruses (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are transmitted among humans, or from non-human primates to humans, through mosquito bites. The interaction of the virus with mosquito cells is a key step in the viral life cycle. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine how DENV and ZIKV interact with mosquito cells.

Methods:

Immunofluorescence assays and a direct visualization system were combined to monitor the syncytial or congregative effects of DENV and ZIKV strains on C6/36 cells. We examined the cytopathic effects of the strains on C6/36 mosquito cells, a widely used laboratory model for studying infection with these viruses.

Results:

Our results indicated that all strains of DENV-1 and DENV-2, most DENV-4 strains, and some DENV-3 strains caused syncytial effects on C6/36 cells, whereas some DENV-3 and DENV-4 strains, and all tested ZIKV strains, caused cell congregation after infection but no cell fusion. In addition, we detected a range of environmental pH values from 6.0 to 8.0 supporting virus-induced cell fusion. The optimal pH condition was 7.5, at which viral production was also highest. Furthermore, the UV-inactivated virus did not cause cell fusion, thus suggesting that viral replication may be required for DENV’s syncytial effects on C6/36 cells.

Conclusion:

Syncytial and congregative effects of DENV and ZIKV on Aedes albopictus cells differ among viral strains. Syncytial effects of DENV on C6/36 are important for viral replication.

Tin doped TiO2 (Sn-TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized using a simple photolysis method and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies confirm that they have a 4.59 nm crystallite size and crystallized as an anatase phase of TiO2. Field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals the formation of spherical and fusiform agglomeration nanoparticles with mesoporous structure and size equal 20nm approximately. The preparation of 5%Sn:TiO2 is confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and the empirical formal is Sn0.05TiO4. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that 1% Sn was successfully doped with anatase TiO2 and that Ti+3 was present as an electron trap. Raman spectrum shows a red shift of anatase peaks with doping Sn:TiO2. The adsorption spectrum of Sn doped TiO2 has an excellent transmittance with increasing Sn doping until 5% mole ratio and reaching 85%, as well as decreasing the band gap with increasing Sn doping ratio and reaching a minimum value of 2.62eV corresponding to 5% Sn:TiO2. The results obtained that the optimum conditions for working Sn:TiO2 as a DSSCs are 5%Sn doping ratio, N3 dye solution and pH = 3. EIS measurements were used to quantify the kinetics of interfacial charge transfer, such as chemical capacitance, electron recombination lifespan, charge transfer resistance, charge collection efficiency, and charge transfer resistance. Enhanced power conversion equals 12.32% for %5Sn:TiO2/based N3 dye/GO at pH =3 by using solar simulator (100 mW/cm2 ).
The third barrier to transgenerational inheritance in animals: somatic epigenetic resetting
Authors: Ewe Chee Kiang , Rechavi Oded
Published: March 2023

After early controversy, it is now increasingly clear that acquired responses to environmental factors may perpetuate across multiple generations—a phenomenon termed transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI). Experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans, which exhibits robust heritable epigenetic effects, demonstrated small RNAs as key factors of TEI. Here, we discuss three major barriers to TEI in animals, two of which, the “Weismann barrier” and germline epigenetic reprogramming, have been known for decades. These are thought to effectively prevent TEI in mammals but not to the same extent in C. elegans. We argue that a third barrier—that we termed “somatic epigenetic resetting”—may further inhibit TEI and, unlike the other two, restricts TEI in C. elegans as well. While epigenetic information can overcome the Weismann barrier and transmit from the soma to the germline, it usually cannot “travel back” directly from the germline to the soma in subsequent generations. Nevertheless, heritable germline memory may still influence the animal's physiology by indirectly modifying gene expression in somatic tissues.
Novi hrvatski prijevod Danteova Pakla ili o poeziji u prozi
Authors: Grgić Maroević Iva
Published: March 2023

Prilog počinje kratkim pregledom povijesti hrvatskih prijevoda Danteove Božanstvene komedije o kojima je autorica, kao i drugi, već opširnije pisala, ali ovaj put inzistira na sudu da se ta povijest uglavnom sastojala od potrage za odgovarajućim metričkim rješenjima. U središnjem dijelu priloga na nekoliko se primjera analizira prijevodna strategija na kojoj se temelji vrlo različit nedavni prijevod Pakla što ga je 2021. godine o sedamstotoj godišnjici Danteove smrti izradio hrvatski prevoditelj Božidar Petrač. Njegov je prijevod specifičan po tome što nudi prozu supostavljenu i suprotstavljenu (a fronte) Danteovoj poeziji. Premda Petračeva proza na nekim mjestima u svojim rješenjima možda nudi odviše objašnjenja, njegov prijevod nastoji (i uspijeva) postići čitljivost i za onu publiku koja će cijeniti usporedbu s izvornikom, i za onu koja će konzultirati uvode svakome pjevanju te bilješke koje ga prate, kao i za onu koja će, napokon, biti kadra čitati ovo remek-djelo bez odviše teškoća. Osobita pozornost posvećuje se Danteovim ključnim riječima, konceptualnim riječima, ili, kako se one u prilogu najradije nazivaju “doktrinarnim” riječima. Njima se prevoditelj Petrač posebno posvećuje, kao što i priliči Danteovu djelu koje je predugo bilo držano tek pjesničkim djelom iako je svakako govorilo o svijetu Danteova vremena. Zaključak priloga jest to da je Petrač kao prevoditelj ponudio hrvatskom čitateljstvu tekst koji će za njega funkcionirati te stavio točku na ustrajanje na srokovnoj (ili bar, metričkoj shemi) kao dominanti hrvatskih prijevoda Komedije. Izriče se procjena da bi Petračev prijevod mogao biti prvi od hrvatskih prijevoda Komedije koji će zaživjeti u dvadeset i prvom stoljeću.
Metatekstualni postupci u romanu Totewande. Zidovi smrt Daše Drndić
Authors: Tadić-Šokac Sanja
Published: March 2023

U ovom se radu posebna pozornost posvećuje metatekstualnim postupcima u romanu Totenwande. Zidovi smrti Daše Drndić. Motrenjem metatekstualnosti kao ‘onoga što govori sâmo o sebi’ u okvirima diskursa omogućuje se da se svi narativni postupci promatraju u njihovu međusobnom prožimanju koje vodi do uspostave cjelovitog smisla djela. Kao metodološka podloga izabran je teorijski sustav Linde Hutcheon koja razlikuje dijegetsku i lingvističku samosvijest teksta. Dijegetska se samosvijest (engl. diegetic selfconsciousness) referira na proces izgradnje priče, tj. na narativni proces, a lingvistička (engl. linguistic selfconsciousness) na jezičnu prirodu književnog teksta, tj. na gradbene elemente književnog diskursa. U okvirima svakog od tih dvaju modela metatekstualne romaneskne proze dvije su vrste oblika: otvoreni (engl. overt forms) i prikriveni, tj. aktualizirani oblici (engl. covert forms). O otvorenim metatekstualnim oblicima govorimo kada se samosvijest izražava eksplicitnom tematizacijom ili alegorizacijom njihova dijegetskog / lingvističkog identiteta unutar samoga djela. Aktualizirani oblici pak sadrže potpuno isti proces, s razlikom što je taj proces sada pounutrašnjen, tj. aktualiziran u svojoj dijegetskoj/lingvističkoj strukturi. Cilj je rada razmotriti dijegetsku i lingvističku samosvijest u romanu Totenwande. Zidovi smrti Daše Drndić.
Vodič po labirintu znanja. Leksikon hrvatskih tradicija Joanne Rapacke kao sinteza hrvatske kulture
Authors: Czerwiński Maciej
Published: March 2023

Leksikon hrvatskih tradicija Joanne Rapacke enciklopedijski je koncipiran opis hrvatske kulture s interpretacijama koje polaze od književnosti. U ovom radu bit će govora o Leksikonu hrvatskih tradicija Joanne Rapacke kao kompleksnom tekstu, enciklopedijski koncipiranom, koji sintetski definira hrvatsku kulturu uzimajući književnost za polazište ponuđenih interpretacija. Ovaj je rad pokušaj iščitavanja temeljnih premisa na kojima je građena autoričina vizija hrvatske kulture te, šire, njezin kritički pristup kulturi kao prostorno i vremenski formiranom društvenom fenomenu. U raspravi o ključnim osobinama hrvatskoga specifikuma, kako ih definira Rapacka, posebna će se pažnja posvetiti odnosu regionalizma i nacionalne kulture (dijakronijski i sinkronijski) te ambivalencijama hrvatskih protonacionalnih i nacionalnih ideologija. Razmotrit će se i Rapackina terminološka opredjeljenja (npr. ideologem, kodifikacije / kodifikacije) koja u mnogočemu utječu na njezin pristup analizi kulturnih fenomena.

The Importance of the Natural Environment in the Light of Children's Rights With Particular Regard to Hungary
Authors: Biborka Kui
Published: March 2023

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is based on human rights, and children’s rights need to be interpreted in this context. As the 2030 Agenda declares that the sustainable development goals seek to realise the human rights of all, it is important to include and interpret the rights of the child as a part thereof. The comprehensive and ambitiously worded goals in the Agenda for Sustainable Development are difficult to transpose into any binding conventions or tools in the area of human, and thus especially children’s, rights. One goal could be to manage these goals and targets within the existing international framework of law and children’s rights. Children’s rights are a comparatively new branch of law. The rules pertaining to the special, vulnerable situation of children were first written down approximately 100 years ago. At the time, the only goal was the survival of the child: feeding, clothing, and medical care. The content of rules and regulations has gradually broadened, and now children’s rights are considered one of the most progressively developing areas of human rights. The purpose of this study is to closely examine the legal regulations, conventions, studies, publications, essays, and historical descriptions pertaining to children, and to examine the degree to which they deal with the role of the natural environment in the life of the child, and how these regulations recognise and necessitate the essential role played by the natural environment in the physical, spiritual, intellectual, and moral development of children. One of the main pillars in this process is environmental education, or Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and considering the current social circumstances, it is both necessary and expected to promote the ESD to the greatest extent possible. Taking the above into account, it can be seen that the provisions stating children’s rights do not clearly and unequivocally deal with the importance of the constant presence of the natural environment, while the right of the child to have fresh air and be raised in a natural environment is not suitably emphasised, even though it is an essential condition for the healthy physical, spiritual, intellectual, and moral development of the child.
Variaciones sobre la sangre
Authors: Aliberti Davide
Published: March 2023

En el 1575 el medico navarro Juan Huarte de San Juan consiguió demostrar, en su Examen de ingenios para las ciencias, que los judíos eran los más idóneos para la práctica de le medicina y que la «mancha» que llevaban en la sangre no era indeleble, contradiciendo así al postulado central de las teorías sobre la limpieza de sangre. La presente contribución propone una relectura del capítulo dedicado a los judíos en la obra de Huarte de San Juan, enmarcándolo en la época del nacimiento de la biopolítica en España y destacando la estrategia discursiva empleada por el autor para lograr su objetivo.
La «Breve historia de la Orden de Nuestra Señora de la Merced» de Felipe de Guimerán (1591), entre historiografía y miscelánea
Authors: Doñas Antonio
Published: March 2023

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es presentar las características fundamentales de una obra poco conocida de la historiografía eclesiástica del siglo XVI: la Breve historia de la Orden de Nuestra Señora de la Merced, publicada en Valencia en 1591. Escrita por el fraile mercedario Felipe de Guimerán, que alcanzaría años después el generalato de la orden, la Breve historia es una obra singular en el marco de la historiografía mercedaria y eclesiástica. Los contenidos históricos de la obra se complementan o yuxtaponen con textos asimilables a distintos géneros literarios auriseculares, de acuerdo con un concepto de varietas que permitiría asociar la Breve historia con otras obras misceláneas de este periodo.
Experimental Investigations of the Removal of Methylene Blue from Waste Water using Agricultural Adsorbant

Published: March 2023

Abstract: The colored organic or inorganic chemical compounds which can impart colour to other substance are the Dyes which did significant applications in the most industrial sectors like the textile industry, leather industry, paper industry, plastic, foodstuff industry etc, to impart color to their products. Due to the large volume of dye use in these businesses, a significant quantity of wastewater containing colored organics is generated. Because of insufficient dye-fiber fixation, during the dyeing process, half of the dye is lost in the wastewater. Peanut and rice husk are used to absorb MB from water. Initial Methylene Blue concentration, Peanut and Rice Husk dose, and pH were monitored and compared to current adsorbents to identify the optimal removal conditions. The equilibrium amount of MB adsorbed at time t (min) for rice husk and peanut hull are obtained as 5.1 and 5.19 mg/g respectively. As part of the research, an intra-particle diffusion model was implemented to regulate the mass transfer model's rate-controlling step mechanism.

Microtoponymy in the Interlingual Space: Names of Vilnius Intracity Objects
Authors: Sinočkina Birutė
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the names of intracity topographical objects of the Lithuanian capital and their foreign language transmission. The subject of consideration are the official urbanonyms, used both to fix a specific place in the urban area, and performing a historical and educational function. Particular attention is paid to Lithuanian urbanonyms, the transfer of which into other languages ​​is associated with difficulties and is devoid of unambiguity. The specific speech material analyzed in the article includes Vilnius microtoponyms that have appeared or become relevant in recent times.

The article outlines certain features of the practical Lithuanian−Russian transcription and contains recommendations for its application. Attention is also paid to the grammatical form of Russian words dating back to Lithuanian toponyms, as well as the specifics of syntactic constructions with these words. The choice of the method of transferring the original toponym in a foreign language in all cases is determined by the aim of maintaining a balance between the authenticity of the name, proximity to the Lithuanian original and the understandability of the name for a foreign user.

The article is intended to contribute to streamlining the Lithuanian toponyms used in Lithuania and abroad in Russian transmission and is intended primarily for journalists, translators, editors who specialize in local topics and for guides.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Cerebral malaria (CM) and severe malarial anemia (SMA) are associated with neurocognitive impairment in childhood but their effects on long-term academic achievement are not known.

METHODS

Ugandan children 5 to 12 years old who participated in a previous study evaluating cognitive outcomes after CM (n = 73) or SMA (n = 56), along with community children (CC, n = 100) from the same household or neighborhood, were on average enrolled 67.1 months (range, 19–101 months) after the severe malaria episode or previous study enrollment. Academic achievement in word reading, sentence comprehension, spelling, and math computation was evaluated using the Wide Range Achievement Test, Fourth Edition. Age-adjusted z-scores for academic achievement outcomes were calculated from CC scores.

RESULTS

After adjustment for age and time from enrollment, reading scores were lower (mean difference from CC [95% confidence interval]) in children with CM (−0.15 [−0.27 to −0.03], P = .02) or SMA (−0.15 [−0.28 to −0.02], P = .02) than CC. Postdischarge malaria episodes were associated with worse spelling and reading scores in CM and worse spelling scores only in SMA. Pathway analysis showed that incidence of postdischarge uncomplicated malaria contributed significantly to the association of CM or SMA with poorer reading scores.

CONCLUSION

Children with CM or SMA have poorer long-term reading skills. Postdischarge malaria episodes contribute significantly to this association. Postdischarge malaria chemoprevention should be assessed as an intervention to improve long-term academic achievement in children with severe malaria.

Published: March 2023

In high-income countries, ischaemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in women and men, accounting for more than 20% of deaths in both sexes. However, women are less likely to receive guideline-recommended percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than men. Women undergoing PCI have poorer unadjusted outcomes because they are older and have greater comorbidity than men, but uncertainty remains whether sex affects outcome after these differences in clinical characteristics are considered. In this paper, we review recent published evidence comparing outcomes between men and women undergoing PCI. We focus on the sex differences in PCI outcomes in different scenarios: acute coronary syndromes, stable angina and complex lesions, including the approach of left main coronary artery. We also review how gender is considered in recent guidelines and offer a common clinical scenario to illustrate the contemporary management strategies an interventional cardiologist should consider when performing PCI on a female patient.
CONCEPTS AND KEY SECTORS OF THE BIOECONOMY

Published: March 2023

Although the bioeconomy as a concept emerged in the late 20th century, it has generated a significant interest among researchers, policy makers and businesses in the last decade. The interdisciplinary character of the bioeconomy gives an opportunity to address major global challenges, both economic and environmental. The aim of the article is to outline different definitions, concepts, as well as to highlight the key bioeconomy sectors. The paper focuses on the links between the bioeconomy and circular economy, sustainable development, implementation of innovation, value chain formation as well as regional specialization. The survey applies historical, comparative, monographic methods of analysis. The theoretical roots and evolution of the concept are observed. The study analyses different pproaches and perspectives regarding the bioeconomy sectors. The results indicate that there is no clear consensus on the definitions and key sectors of the bioeconomy in the global context. Despite the worldwide interest in bioeconomy, there are various challenges associated with the design and implementation of individual national, regional bioeconomy strategies, which could ensure the development of smart specialisation and green growth.

Authors: O. Sushkevych O. Sushkevych
Published: March 2023

The article presents practical ways to harmonize English teaching by balancing linguistic, sociolinguistic competences with the pragmatic one at primary school. We employ psycholinguistic approach to facilitate close to real life communication in the classroom. The PURPOSE of this paper is to reveal an experimental psycholinguistic shift from prioritizing linguistic with the elements of sociolinguistic competences to a more balanced model of teaching speaking young primary learners, which resembles natural communication and includes pragmatic competence too. METHODS: The paper presents the results of an action research carried out among 9-10-year old schoolchildren from 3 primary schools. During the research, we turned to interviewing teachers and learners, used questionnaires and observation. We employed analysis and experiment during the intervention. The RESULTS reveal students’ interactive problems while speaking in English realized in their bodies, articulatory blockages predetermined by emotional and psychological tension as well as the lack of appropriate language and pragmatic skills. In CONCLUSIONS, we have developed a range of recommendations with examples to facilitate teacher’s work with primary students’ pragmatic competence along with linguistic and sociocultural ones

Most error-resilient media processing applications use multipliers as their basic building blocks. These are power-consumption and computationally intensive modules. In the existing works, several types of the multipliers were used to improve the hardware capacity, but those methods did not provide sufficient results. Therefore, in this manuscript, a Baugh-Wooley Multiplier design using Multiple Control Toffoli (MCT) and Multiple Control Fredrick gate (MCF) Reversible Logic gate (BWM-MCT-MCF) will be analyzed. Initially, Reversible Full Adder (RFA) is designed using Multiple Control Toffoli and Multiple Control Fredrick gate Reversible Logic gates. Then the proposed Reversible Full Adder is used in Baugh-Wooley Multiplier. By this, it reduces the hardware complexity with higher speed, lower area, lower power consumption. The proposed BWM-MCT-MCF multiplier is implemented in MATLAB, its performance shows lower Garbage output 22.78%, 24.88%, 20.95% compared with the existing designs, like BWM-FG-FRG, BWM-RL-TG, BWM-TG-FG respectively. Then the designed BWM-MCT-MCF is implemented using Xilinx ISE tool with the Virtex 5 device. From this, the performance of the proposed FPGA-BWM-MCT-MCF method shows lower delay 23.77%, 16.86% compared with the existing designs, like FPGA-BWM-RL-TG, FPGA-BWM-TG-FG respectively.

Microparticulate reference materials with well-defined properties are needed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to consolidate a sustainable quality control system for analytical measurements for particle analysis in nuclear safeguards. In order to further develop analytical methods and quality control of the analytical results from particle analysis to detect even traces of dopants, such as fission products, the microparticulate reference materials must be refined according to the IAEA’s requirements. Due to yield limitations of the microparticles, a co-precipitation method was adapted to synthesize bulk-scale comparison materials doped with lanthanides to unravel the incorporation mechanism of those dopants into the uranium oxide structure in depth. Through TG-DSC studies, the temperature range of phase transitions from UO3 to U3O8 was identified and analyzed in more detail by additional systematic structural investigations of long- and short-range order phenomena with XRD and Raman, and IR, respectively.

Jews: Nearly Everything You Wanted To Know* *But Were Too Afraid to Ask
Authors: Cave Peter , Cohn-Sherbok Dan
Published: March 2023

Who are the Jews? What do they believe? Why is Israel so important to them? What’s all this about self-hating Jews? These are just some of the questions that engage a Reform rabbi and a Humanist philosopher in their lively and intriguing conversations. From Antisemitism to Zionism, from animal slaughter kosher-style to the Zeitgeist of Jewish disparaging humour, rabbi Dan Cohn-Sherbok gives us the flavours, traditions and ‘feel’ of Jewish life and identity enmeshed in the importance of the Holy Land, while philosopher Peter Cave gets him to dig deeper, revealing philosophical perplexities, unsettling questions — and even Wittgenstein. The book is unique for it challenges unconscious assumptions such as the Jewish conviction that Judaism must survive and that Hitler must not secure a posthumous victory — as well as widening eyes to searching questions concerning a nation’s identity and what justifies territorial rights. Because Jewish humour plays a crucial role in Jewish life, this wide-ranging and thought-provoking exploration includes Jewish jokes and Dan’s Jewish cartoons, all designed to add some spice to the dish of what it is like to be a Jew in these modern times. The dialogues introduce the non-Jewish to the Jewish world of argument, anguish and identity — and will lead Jews to discover some fresh approaches and challenges to their interests and worries. For both Jews and non-Jews, this book casts lights — with an engaging and accessible tone — for, clearly, this rabbi and philosopher enjoy the cut and the thrust.
Josiah: From Improbable Stories to Inventive Historiography
Authors: Handy Lowell K.
Published: March 2023

This book considers the various ways in which the last major King of Judah has been presented in biblical texts and the subsequent cultures that have made use of the biblical narratives. It is posited that there is no reliable material that can be dated to the time of Josiah and that the literary constructions of Josiah’s reign in Kings, Chronicles, and First Esdras already provided the inventive memory of a no longer recoverable monarch’s life. Aspects of these narratives are considered as well as the history of Josiah in historiographical renditions of world history and in presenting his story in narrative artistic productions.
God/Terror: Ethics and Aesthetics in Contexts of Conflict and Reconciliation
Authors: Küster Volker
Published: March 2023

In late modernity theology has to perform an aesthetic turn, if it wants to break out of its current isolation. Theologians cannot limit themselves to biblical texts and Christian tradition as a frame of reference but also have to search for traces of God’s presence in cultures and religions. God/Terror addresses the quest for God in the context of oppression, violence and terror from an aesthetic perspective. It looks at how artists and writers approach the relationship between God and Terror. Statements such as that from composer Karl Heinz Stockhausen: “9/11 was the greatest work of art ever” or from South African writer Adam Small: “Only literature can perform the miracle of reconciliation” – are occasions to reflect again about the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, theology and the arts. As in a medieval diptych, the theme is mirroring god talk in memory of 9/11 and in the context of political conflicts in Germany, South Korea and South Africa.

Protective influence of heat treatment on the light-induced riboflavin (vitamin B2) degradation in dairy products
Authors: Trang Vu Thu , Shimamura Tomoko , Ukeda Hiroyuki
Published: March 2023

Milk is the most important source of riboflavin (Vitamin B2) in many nations. Riboflavin absorbs light in the ultraviolet region and generates singlet oxygen in milk leading to the oxidation of nutrient components and affects the sensory quality of dairy products. The purpose of this work was to elucidate the effect of heat-treatment on the light-induced riboflavin degradation in the model solution of milk bases and milk samples. Although the photo-degradation of riboflavin in all samples was decreased with the increasing of illumination time, the reductions of riboflavin light oxidation were found in all milk model samples and heated milks in according to the formation of Maillard reaction products during heating. The amount of riboflavin remained in control sample (1.5 mg/l riboflavin) was 1.67 % after 2.5 hour illumination. But, it was 34 % and 60 % in the heated lactose and casein solution and milk at 120oC, 45 min, respectively. The increasing of heating time leaded to the increasing of protective ability of milk and model samples against riboflavin photo-degradation. The study clarified that heat treatment of whey proteins, casein and milk might induce the formation of Maillard reaction products that enhanced the protective ability against photo-degradation of riboflavin.
Reusing sludge from surface water treatment plant for hexavalent chromium adsorption in aqueous solution
Authors: Nguyen Duc Dat Duc , Nguyen Tan Phong , Le Minh Thanh
Published: March 2023

Contaminants in plating wastewater are hard to remove, especially hexavalent chromium ions. This waste stream contains a large amount of Cr6+, a highly toxic metal, potential to cause cancer. To reduce this pollution, sludge from a supply water treatment plant (DWTS) has been used to make adsorbent. This sludge was denaturized by thermal method. After that, a plating synthetic waste stream contained Cr6+ was treated by a batch adsorption model with adsorbent made from DWTS. pH, amount of adsorbent, and treatment time were investigated to determine the suitable treatment conditions. The study was also evaluated the suitability of two adsorption models Langmuir and Freundlich. Results showed that, under the conditions of pH = 6.0, the adsorbent content of 25.0 g/l, after 90.0 minutes, Cr6+ content remained 0.14 mg/l, close to QCVN 40:2011/BTNMT, column B. The parameters of the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption equations are: qmax = 12.578 mg/g; Kads = 0.747 l/mg; n = 0.338; kf = 5.138. The Freundlich isothermal model is better fitted to the chromium adsorption process than Langmuir isothermal model.

Published: March 2023

Plants of the genus Polyscias (the family Araliaceae) are represented as perennial shrubs and are commonly cultivated in southeastern Asia and the Pacific regions. Pharmacological studies revealed that Polyscias crude extracts and their isolated compounds exhibited a variety of biological activity, such as antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, immuno-stimulant, wound healing and anti-asthmatic activities. For the first time, phytochemical study on the methanol (MeOH) extract of the stem barks of Vietnamese species Polyscias serrata Balf. (locally named Dinh lang rang) resulted in the isolation and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)-determination of six compounds 1-6. They include one nucleobase uracil (1), two nucleosides uridine (2) and adenosine (3), one alkaloid indole-3-carboxylic acid (4), one mono-phenol glucoside koaburside (5), and one saponin randianin (6). The chemical structures of these phytochemicals were elucidated by physicochemical, the 1D-NMR [1H, 13C-NMR, and DEPT (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer)], the 2D-NMR [HSQC (heteronuclear single quantum coherence), HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation), and COSY (correlation spectroscopy)] spectral, and ESI-MS (Electron Spray Ionization-Mass Spectrum) data. This is the first time that compounds 2-6 have been obtained from the genus Polyscias. In agreement with various reports, the nitrogenous compounds and triterpene saponins can be seen as characteristic metabolites of genus Polyscia
