Published: October 2020

COVID-19 is not a lung disease alone. It produces several collateral damages in all the specialities of medicine, including dermatology. Neither a major breakthrough in the treatment nor a vaccine has been introduced to deal with this virus. We developed a three-pronged strategy to ensure that our patients are not denied treatment for their chronic dermatoses; at the same time, minimizing their risk of contracting the COVID-19 infection through frequent hospital visits. First, we reduced the need of the patients for repeated hospital visits by providing them medical help through phone calls. Second, we ensured safety of the patients who comes for dermatological procedures, photo therapy, and laser therapies. Third, we ensured the protection of our lab persons by following strict guidelines while performing blood tests of COVID-19 patients.

Second-order Phase Transition Behavior in a Polymer above the Glass Transition Temperature
Authors: Ishikawa Mitsuru , Takahashi Taihei , Hayashi Yu-ichiro , Akashi Maya , Uwada Takayuki
Published: October 2020

Glass transition was primarily considered to be not phase transition; instead, regarded as pseudo secondorder phase transition due to its similarity to the ordinary second-order phase transition. Recent single-molecule spectroscopy developments have prompted re-investigating glass transition at the microscopic scale, confirming that the initial classification is correct and revealing that glass transition includes phenomena similar to second-order phase transition. They are characterized by microscopic collective polymer motion and discontinuous changes in temperature dependent relaxation times within a temperature window that includes the polymer calorimetric glass transition temperature. Generally, atom or molecule collective motion and discontinuous changes in physical quantities including relaxation times characterize critical phenomena associated with second-order phase transitions near specific temperatures. Thus, second-order phase transition phenomena are involved in polymer glass transition.
Improved Band Gaps and Structural Properties from Wannier-Fermi-Lowdin Self-Interaction Corrections for Periodic Systems
Authors: Shinde Ravindra , Yamijala Sharma , Wong Bryan
Published: October 2020

The accurate prediction of band gaps and structural properties in periodic systems continues to be one of the central goals of electronic structure theory. However, band gaps obtained from popular exchange-correlation functionals (such as LDA and PBE) are severely underestimated partly due to the spurious self-interaction error (SIE) inherent to these functionals. In this work, we present a new formulation and implementation of Wannier function-derived Fermi-Lowdin (WFL) orbitals for correcting the SIE in periodic systems. Since our approach utilizes a variational minimization of the self-interaction energy with respect to the Wannier charge centers, it is computationally more efficient than the HSE hybrid functional and other self-interaction corrections that require a large number of transformation matrix elements. Calculations on several (17 in total) prototypical molecular solids, semiconductors, and wide-bandgap materials show that our WFL self-interaction correction approach gives better band gaps and bulk moduli compared to semilocal functionals, largely due to the partial removal of self-interaction errors.
Synthesis, Characterization and Stress-Testing of a Novel Quillaja Saponin Stabilized Oil-in-Water Phytocannabinoid Nanoemulsion
Authors: Banerjee Abhinandan , Binder Justin , Salama Ryan , Trant John F.
Published: October 2020

This study describes the design, optimization, and stress-testing of a novel phytocannabinoid nanoemulsion generated using high-pressure homogenization. QNaturale®, a plant-derived commercial emulsifier containing quillaja saponin, was used to stabilize the lipid phase droplets in water. Optimization studies revealed that after 10 homogenization cycles at a pressure of 30,000 psi in the presence of 10 wt% QNaturale® (1.5 wt% quillaja saponin), average nanoemulsion droplet diameters were ca.120 nm and average droplet surface zeta-potentials were ca. -30 mV for a lipid phase comprising 16.6 wt% CBD-enriched cannabis extract and 83.4 wt% carrier (soybean) oil. The optimized nanoemulsion proved to be stable to droplet agglomeration and phase separation upon storage under ambient conditions for 6 weeks, as well as under a variety of physical stressors such as heat, cold, dilution, andcarbonation. pH values under 2 and moderately high salt concentrations (> 100 mM), however, destabilized 0the CDCBD nanoemulsion, eventually leading to phase separation. Cannabis potency, determined by HPLC, was detrimentally affected by any changes in the nanoemulsion phase stability. Quillaja saponin stabilized cannabidiol (CBD)-enriched nanoemulsions are stable, robust systems even at low emulsifier concentrations, and are therefore significant from both a scientific as well as a commercial perspective.
Hydrogen Abstraction/Addition Reactions in Soot Surface Growth
Authors: Chu Qingzhao , Shi Baolu , Wang Hongyu , Chen Dongping , Liao Lijuan
Published: October 2020

The hydrogen abstraction (HB) and addition reactions (HD) by H radicals are examined on a series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) monomers and models of quasi-surfaces using quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method. The QCT results reproduce the rate constants of HB reactions on PAH monomers from density function theory (DFT) in the range of 1500-2700 K. The PAH size has a minor impact on the rates of HB reactions especially at temperatures beyond 2100 K. By contrast, HD reactions have a clear size dependence and a larger PAH yields a higher rate. It is also found that the preferred reaction pathway changing from HB to HD reactions at ~1900 K. The rates of surface HB and HD reactions exceed those in the gas phase by nearly a factor of magnitude. Further analysis on the detailed trajectory of QCT method reveals that about 50% of the surface reactions can be attributed to the events of surface diffusion, which depends on the local energy transfer in the gas-surface interactions. However, this phenomenon is not preferred in PAH monomers as expected. Our finding here highlights the misinterpretation of surface reactions as the product of the first collision between gaseous species and particle surface, and surface diffusion induced reactions should be accounted for in the rates of surface HB and HD reactions. Rate constants of HB and HD reactions on each reactive site (surface zig-zag, surface free-edge and pocket free-edge sites) are calculated by QCT method, which are recommended for the further development of surface chemistry models in soot formation.

Published: October 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic was identified in late 2019 at Wuhan, China. Its outbreak causes respiratory illness. It is considered to be a potential zoonotic disease and is asymptomatic or flu-like.SARS is a new clinical entity of the COVID-19 outbreak. The other symptoms are fever, sore throat, cold. They spread through droplets, saliva, or sneeze. They are also transmitted to the child by placental transmission. The airborne transmission is by aerosols where droplets are >5μm. They become bioaerosols and are found to travel more than 100 meters. In experimental work, it is found that the particles of COVID can be detected 3 hours after no clinical setting. The only way to stop the spread is appropriate preventive measures like PPE, respiratory etiquette, and social distancing. There are some recent advances in the field to stop the spread of COVID-19. In this review, we discuss the transmission and spread of coronavirus by aerosols and the various preventive measures used by medical practitioners to stop the spread of this pandemic.

Rethinking the toponymic politics in Belarus in the 20–21 centuries: toward the post-colonial perspective
Authors: Basik Sergei
Published: October 2020

The article explores the historical trends and patterns in the politics of space in toponymic landscapes of Soviet and postSoviet Belarus through the prism of critical toponymy and the post-colonial theoretical approach. This work aims to reveal the colonial essence of the toponymic politics and policies in Belarus during the Soviet era and explore the unique national (post) colonial context of the post-independent place names. Based on the idea of methodological convergence of post-colonial and post-socialist paradigms, this article analyzes the “top-down” hegemonic toponymic practices implemented by the Soviet regime in Belarus in comparison with the place name policies of the colonial regimes in other parts of the world. Using the comparative analysis of historical (re)naming cases from the regional toponymic system of Belarus, the work shows that the Soviet regime used similar goals, methods, and technologies as other colonial powers. Such examples include ignoring the national language, history, and cultural traditions reflected in place names, inadequate renaming criteria and arrogant methods of choosing the new names, banalization of toponymic landscape and inconsistency in renaming, removing the Belarusian vocabulary from the toponymic landscape and inserting the foreign words and terms into the toponymic system, phonetic and grammatical mutilations of national toponyms according to the norms of the foreign language, symbolic resistance of local population toward new place names. The post-independent period can be defined by the selective post-colonial toponymic practices, which include the co-existence of the Soviet and national toponyms, symbolic (re)naming processes typical for new independent post-colonial states, and the resurrection of the ideologically motivated “toponyms-zombies” from the previous period. Therefore, the modern toponymic landscapes in Belarus can be considered post-colonial, and methodological and theoretical post-colonial perspectives on toponymic research can be applied to post-socialist states.

Authors: Shu Bo , Kirby Marie K , Warnes Christine , Sessions Wendy M , Davis William G , Liu Ji , Wilson Malania M , Lindstrom Stephen , Wentworth David E , Barnes John R
Published: October 2020

Background

During the 2016/17 influenza season, influenza B/VIC lineage variant viruses emerged with two (K162N163) or three (K162N163D164) amino acid (aa) deletions in the haemagglutinin (HA) protein. There are currently five antigenically distinct HA proteins expressed by co-circulating influenza B viruses: B/YAM, B/VIC V1A (no deletion), B/VIC V1A-2DEL (2 aa deletion) and two antigenically distinguishable groups of B/VIC V1A-3DEL (3 aa deletion). The prevalence of these viruses differs across geographical regions, making it critical to have a sensitive, rapid diagnostic assay that detects and distinguishes these influenza B variant viruses during surveillance.

Aim

Our objective was to develop a real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assay for detection and discrimination of influenza B/VIC lineage variant viruses.

Methods

We designed a diagnostic assay with one pair of conserved primers and three probes specific to each genetic group. We used propagated influenza B/VIC variant viruses and clinical specimens to assess assay performance.

Results

This rRT-PCR assay detects and distinguishes the influenza B/VIC V1A, B/VIC V1A-2DEL, and B/VIC V1A-3DEL variant viruses, with no cross-reactivity. This assay can be run as a multiplex reaction, allowing for increased testing efficiency and reduced cost.

Conclusion

Coupling this assay with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel Influenza B Lineage Genotyping Kit results in rapid detection and characterisation of circulating influenza B viruses. Detailed surveillance information on these distinct influenza B variant viruses will provide insight into their prevalence and geographical distribution and could aid in vaccine recommendations.

Authors: DEMİRKAN Deniz
Published: October 2020

Yabancı dil öğretmek/öğrenmek demek sadece dil bilgisi, kelime ve dil becerilerini öğretmek/öğrenmek demek değil, aynı zamanda o dilin kültürel öğelerini de öğretmek/öğrenmek demektir. Gerçek anlamda yabancı bir dili öğretmek, o dilini şekillendiren kültürünü öğretmekle mümkündür. Bu nedenle yabancı dili öğreten öğretmen aynı zamanda kültür öğretmenliği de yapar. Öte yandan, kültürü oluşturan unsurların çeşitli olması sebebiyle yabancı dil kültürünü oluşturan bütün öğelerin ders sırasında ve ders araçlarıyla aktarılması mümkün değildir. Kuşkusuz kültür aktarımının en önemli materyallerinden biri ders kitaplarıdır çünkü o dili konuşan toplum kaynaklıdır ve o dile ait kültürün taşıyıcılığını yapmaktadır. Kültürlerarası karşılaşma alanı olan yabancı dil öğretiminin verimli bir kültür iletimi aracı olabilmesi için de ders kitaplarındaki metinlerin bilinçli bir şekilde seçilmiş olması gerekmektedir. Nitekim dil öğretiminin başlıca amaçlarından biri de Diller için Avrupa Ortak Başvuru Metni (Öğrenme-Öğretme-Değerlendirme)’ne göre kültürel beceri kazanımı olarak yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada yabancı dil olarak Fransızca öğretimi derslerinde kullanılan “Le Nouveau Taxi” setinin “Le Nouveau Taxi 1 Méthode de Français” ders kitabındaki kültürel öğelerin Ortak Başvuru Metni ölçütlerinden hareketle öğrenenlere nasıl aktarıldığı doküman incelemesi yöntemiyle ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın eğitsel içeriğine serpiştirilen ve diyaloglara eşlik eden sosyokültürel öğeler, öğrenenlerin A 1 düzeyi öğrenme hedeflerine uygun biçimde tasarlanmış ve eğitsel içeriğin, hedef kültürün aktarımını gerçekleştirmede yeterli olduğu düşüncesine ulaşılmıştır.

AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION IN THE LINE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION IS THE ONSET OF NUTRITIONAL METABOLIC DISEASES, EPIDEMIC OF CANCER AND THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Authors: Zaminpira Somayeh , Niknamian Sorush
Published: October 2020

This study goes deeply through the nutrition of the first primate and analyses the nutrition in the line of human evolution. Simply dividing the shifts in the nutrition through the human evolution, it is obvious that some elements in the diet are more important than the others. Since the beginning of the Neolithic, the ratio of plant-to-animal foods in the diet has sharply increased from an average of probably 65% to 35% during Paleolithic times to as high as 90% to 10% since the advent of agriculture. The changes in diet from hunter-gatherer times to agricultural times have been almost all detrimental, although there is some evidence indicating that at least some genetic adaptation to the Neolithic has begun taking place in the approximately 10,000 years since it began. With the much heavier reliance on starchy foods that became the staples of the diet, tooth decay, malnutrition, and rates of infectious disease increased dramatically over Paleolithic times, further exacerbated by crowding leading to even higher rates of communicable infections. This evidences shows that the immune system of human beings became weaker and many metabolic diseases including cancer has become epidemic. The height of humans has decreased in the agricultural revolution as well.

Published: October 2020

Financial inclusion assures easy access to financial services by enabling the disadvantaged and vulnerable sections of the society to actively contribute to development and protect themselves against socio-economic shocks. Nigeria has a sizeable rural poor population with limited access to conventional financial institutions or services. This study investigated the impact of financial inclusion on the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) performance in Nigeria. The survey research design method was used, involving the use of questionnaires, in collecting data from respondents. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-square technique. The results show that, whereas financial inclusion positively and significantly impacts the operations and growth of MSMEs, distance to financial services access points and infrastructural deficiency challenged fast and effective access to financial services by MSMEs in Nigeria. The study recommends that deliberate efforts should be made to spread access points to more rural areas and improve infrastructure to promote FI. This should include a policy roadmap for expanding financial services access points to unbanked and underserved areas using the financial services geospatial map. Furthermore, the digitizing of payments across the country should be prioritized to include enhanced ICT/E-banking tools and a consumer protection framework.

Published: October 2020

A survey was conducted in Hamer and Bena-Tsemay pastoral and agro-pastoral districts of South Omo zone, south western Ethiopia in between January to May 2011 with the objective to describe availability of feed resource for goats. Data were collected from the two districts by informal and formal survey methods using focused group discussion and semi-structured questionnaire administered to 250 households. Natural pastures from rangelands are major feed sources for goats. Higher feed availability is reported in March to April (during the main rainy season). However, availability of feed extends up to October in Bena-Tsemay district due to the higher rainfall in the district.  In both districts, the hot dry season (November to February) is the period of feed scarcity and during which high mortality of goats have been reported. Crop residues and some food left over are also available for supplementing animals especially in the agro-pastoral areas. The efficiency of goat production in the studied districts could be increased by optimizing goats breeding season with the availability of feed resources.

Published: October 2020

The evolving economic landscape and fancies of the people have driven the government to plan seamlessly for inclusive banking for realising the opportunities that lie within. 21% chunk of Indian population are unbanked according to World Bank Report. Reckoning the long outstanding need for reaching out to the far-flung non-banked areas of the country, the central bank of India introduced more competition among banks by authorising, in principle, a kind of bank. On 19th Aug 2015, the RBI announced eleven approvals for payment banks.  Payment bank concentrates their activities at farmers, migrants’ labours, low income households, vendors, small businesses and unorganised sector of the society. These banks offer banking facilities such as payments, deposits, remittances, internet banking but cannot undertake lending activities.

This paper attempts to investigate that how payment banks going to benefit the Indian economy for its cashless initiative and bank the unbanked chunk of Indian population.

Authors: C Arthi , Savithri
Published: October 2020

Functional magnetic resonance imaging has become a very popular tool in neurological and medical analysis over the years.  According to collated data, in the year 1993, as few as 20 papers were presented on the topic of fmri analysis; However, a decade later, as many as 1800 research papers talk about fmri analysis – an exponential increase. An analysis of the activated regions within the brain can be used to detect the its reactions to various stimuli with greater confidence compared to other methods but the success of accurately identifying brain stimuli however lies in the efficiency of the image processing algorithms applied to extract information from the fMRI scans. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of commonly used image processing algorithms in fMRI studies by statistically analyzing their effectiveness in extracting ROI’s in various images (sample size = 17) and tries to project the efficiency of these systems in fMRI scanning.
