Dynamic transitions and bifurcations of 1D reaction-diffusion equations: The Self-adjoint case
Authors: Sengul Taylan , Tiryakioglu Burhan
Published: October 2021

This paper deals with the classification of transition phenomena in the
most basic dissipative system possible, namely the 1D reaction diffusion
equation. The emphasis is on the relation between the linear and
nonlinear terms and the effect of the boundaries which influence the
first transitions. We consider the cases where the linear part is
self-adjoint with 2nd order and 4th order derivatives which is the case
which most often arises in applications. We assume that the nonlinear
term depends on the function and its first derivative which is basically
the semilinear case for the second order reaction-diffusion system. As
for the boundary conditions, we consider the typical Dirichlet, Neumann
and periodic boundary settings. In all the cases, the equations admit a
trivial steady state which loses stability at a critical parameter. We
aim to classify all possible transitions and bifurcations that take
place. Our analysis shows that these systems display all three types of
transitions: continuous, jump and mixed and display transcritical,
supercritical bifurcations with bifurcated states such as finite
equilibria, circle of equilibria, and slowly rotating limit cycle. Many
applications found in the literature are basically corollaries of our
main results. We apply our results to classify the first transitions of
the Chaffee-Infante equation, the Fisher-KPP equation, the Kuramoto
Sivashinsky equation and the Swift-Hohenberg equation.

Published: October 2021

Previously undiagnosed or asymptomatic epiglottic cysts may be coincidentally detected during intubation. This retrospective case series identified undiagnosed epiglottic cysts that were discovered during intubation in 4 patients who underwent oral surgery under general anesthesia at our hospital during a 6-year period. Including 2 additional cases, 1 previously diagnosed and 1 detected during preoperative imaging, epiglottic cysts were observed in 6 of 1112 cases (0.54%) total. Among the undiagnosed epiglottic cyst cases, mild dyspnea on effort or snoring was reported in 2 patients, but all others were asymptomatic. Upon discovering previously undiagnosed epiglottic cysts during intubation, it is essential to proceed cautiously, remain alert for potential airway management difficulties, and avoid injuring or rupturing the cysts. In addition, any available preoperative imaging should be reviewed as information pertinent to the airway and any abnormalities may be useful. This report discusses the anesthetic care of 6 patients with epiglottic cysts that were previously known or initially discovered during intubation.
The role of first language transfer in the acquisition of definiteness in specific and generic contexts by Saudi-Arabic learners of English
Authors:   , Aboras Afnan M.
Published: October 2021

Studies on the acquisition of definiteness in English by Arabic learners have largely focused on the errors made using articles. The present study investigates the accuracy of Saudi-Arabic learners with regard to the different features associated with definiteness: specificity and genericity. Arabic, like English, contains a definite article and an indefinite article; however, article usage differs between the languages in that Saudi-Arabic tends to drop the indefinite article as it is not obligatory, as it is in English. The purpose of this study is therefore to examine the accuracy with which learners employ specificity and genericity and the effect of the first language on learners’ accuracy. The thesis examines the effects of proficiency level and vocabulary level (receptive and productive). Two experimental studies were carried out, the first focusing on specificity by testing the Bottleneck Hypothesis (Slabakova, 2008) and the Fluctuation Hypothesis (Ionin et al., 2004). The former posits that learners are able to map features between L1 and L2 and that similarities and differences between languages affects acquisition. The latter hypothesis relates to definiteness and specificity, postulating that learners fluctuate between article settings until they acquire the Article Choice Parameter in English. The second experiment focused on genericity with singular and plural contexts, testing the Bottleneck Hypothesis (Slabakova, 2008) and the Representational Deficit Hypothesis (Hawkins & Chan, 1997), which argues that learners cannot acquire a new uninterpretable feature if it is already set in their L1. These experiments demonstrated that the accuracy of Saudi-Arabic learners of English varies according to definiteness features, as the participants performed more accurately with specificity than with genericity. First language transfer affected uses involving genericity more than those involving specificity. The other factors – proficiency level and receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge – affected the learners’ accuracy with respect to both specificity and genericity.

Published: October 2021

During distance learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic, learning evaluation must still be carried out. There are many ways and evaluation tools that teachers can use in carrying out learning evaluations. One of them is the thematic learning module. This is because the module does not only contain learning materials, but there are learning evaluation materials in it. This study aims to determine the use of thematic modules as a learning evaluation tool. This study used descriptive qualitative method. The data collection technique in this research is by interviewing several teachers in elementary schools in Bandung. The results of the research based on the results of the interviews show that at this time learning is carried out remotely, teachers really need modules, because modules are needed as interesting teaching materials and help students understand learning material. Furthermore, at this time, the module is often used by teachers in distance learning, apart from being an additional teaching material, the module is also used as a learning evaluation tool. Because according to the teacher, the modules in it not only contain learning material, but there are also evaluation questions. The conclusion that can be obtained is that teachers really need modules when learning takes place, especially when learning is carried out remotely, because it is hoped that using thematic modules will help students learn independently and understand learning material, as well as the results of evaluating student learning outcomes through modules can be achieved properly.

Learning that challenges students to communicate their ideas will make students try to solve the problems they experience in learning mathematics, but the ability of students to communicate and solve problems is very dependent on their awareness of what they know and how to do this. This is related to their metacognitive awareness. Metacognition is the awareness of our thinking so that we can perform specific tasks, and then use this awareness to control what we do. This research was carried out with the aim of: 1) knowing the achievement of students' mathematical communication skills after using the metacognitive approach compared to those using conventional learning, 2) knowing the increase in mathematical communication skills of students who received learning with a metacognition approach and those who received conventional learning, 3) knowing the response students towards learning by using metacognitive learning. Data were collected from students' mathematical communication skills tests in the form of essay questions and student questionnaires. Questionnaires were given to all experimental class students with the aim of knowing students' responses to mathematics learning using metacognition learning. This research is a quasi-experimental study with an experimental class design, namely Pretest-Treatment-Postest, while the control class is Pretest-Postest. From the results of data analysis with a significant level of = 0.05, it shows that the achievement of mathematical communication skills of students who get learning with a metacognitive approach is better than conventional learning. The improvement of mathematical communication skills of students who received mathematics learning with a metacognitive approach was better than the mathematical communication skills of students who received conventional learning. The improvement in mathematical communication skills of students who received mathematics learning with cooperative learning of the TGT type was in the medium category, while students who received conventional learning had an increase in the low category. Based on the results of the analysis of student responses to metacognition learning, it shows that students have a positive attitude towards learning mathematics with a metacognitive approach.

Authors: ONAY Büşra , ŞAHİN Candan
Published: October 2021

Okullar; öğrencilerin eğitim aldıkları ve geleceklerini şekillendirdikleri alanlardır. Okullarda eğitimin sağlıklı bir şekilde devam edebilmesi için okul bahçeleri, dış mekanla okul arasında tampon görevi görmektedir. Kentsel açık yeşil alan birimlerinden birisi olarak kabul edilen okul bahçeleri; çocukların okul zamanı içinde ve dışında kullandıkları, kentleri açık yeşil alan bakımından bir miktar da olsa rahatlatan alanlar olarak gösterilmektedir. Okul bahçeleri, çocukların hem eğitim aldıkları hem de serbest zamanlarında vakit geçirdikleri alanlar olduğu için kullanım yoğunluğu oldukça fazladır. Bu yüzden, okul bahçelerinde ve çevresinde yaşanacak çevre sorunlarının en aza indirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Isparta kent merkezinde seçilen 4 resmi ilkokulda okul bahçesinde ve bahçe dışında, gürültü düzeyinin belirlenmesi amacıyla ölçümler yapılmış ve ölçüm verilerinden yararlanılarak gürültü haritaları hazırlanmıştır. Çalışma yapılacak olan okulların belirlenmesinde; kent merkezine yakın olmaları, öğrenci sayıları, bahçe büyüklükleri ve çevresindeki kullanımlar dikkate alınmıştır. Ölçümler, okullarda eğitim öğretimin devam ettiği hafta içi ve 08.30-17.00 saatleri arasında 5 dakika süre boyunca yapılmıştır. Ölçümlerin her noktada farklı gün ve saatlerde alınmasına dikkat edilmiştir. Ölçümler için her okulda teneffüste bahçe içinde, teneffüste bahçe dışında ve ders esnasında bahçe dışında olmak üzere belirlenen noktalardan üç ölçüm yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, WHO tarafından belirlenen okul bahçeleri çevresindeki gürültü sınır değerleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, tüm okullarda Leq değerinin 55 dB(A) üzerinde olduğu görülmüştür. Bu değerin WHO tarafından belirlenen okul bahçeleri çevresindeki gürültü sınır değerinin (55 dB(A)) üzerinde olması nedeniyle, okul çevrelerinde önlem alınması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Published: October 2021

SARS-CoV-2 pandemic remains a challenge to human health and economy worldwide. Previously we have shown that a combination of active plant-derived compounds and plant extracts can dose-dependently inhibit binding of RBD-spike protein SARS-CoV-2 to the ACE2 receptor and its expression on human alveolar epithelial cells. Here we use eGFP-luciferase-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein pseudo-virions and SARS-CoV-2-RdRp, to show if the antiviral effectiveness of this combination of plant-derived compounds and plant extracts expands to other important key mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Or results revealed that this combination of five plant-derived compounds inhibited the attachment of the SARS-CoV-2 pseudo-typed particles with lung hACE2/A549 cells. In addition, it down-regulated the activity of key enzymes known to be crucial for the entry of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, such as TMPRSS2, furin and cathepsin L, but not their expression at protein level. This combination did not affect ACE2 binding to and ACE2 enzymatic activity, but modestly decrease cellular expression of neuropilin-1 molecule and significantly inhibited activity of viral RdRp. This study demonstrates inhibitory effects of this combination on key cellular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The findings further support the use of plant-derived compounds as effective health measures against SARS-CoV-2-caused infection.

Published: October 2021

The primary contribution of this study is to investigate how institutional quality affects the relationship between the oil price changes and economic growth on net oil exporters in African countries split into net oil exporters and net oil importers. Whether oil price changes are good for the growth patterns of African economies lies on the interaction between oil prices and institutional quality. Oil price increases for oil exporting economies result in increased revenue which will be distributed to economic boosters of the economy however, the net effect of such revenues to the economies solely depends on how institutions distribute the oil rents to the various sectors of the economy. In contrast to the traditional direct effect of oil price changes to economic growth, this study shows that the impact of oil price on economic growth is non-monotonic in institutional quality. Oil exporting economies can benefit from oil price increase if they have good institutions. This has been assessed by including an interaction term, oil price-institutional quality, in the Panel Auto-Regressive (PARDL) using the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) model. Such a methodological framework has an added advantage over other model as it allows for modelling of data with different orders of integration. The PMG estimator allows the intercepts, short-run coefficient, and the error variance to differ freely across groups while the long-run coefficients are the same. Using data from 1990 to 2016, it is revealed that the sign of the coefficient interaction is positive and significant as theoretically expected. Furthermore, the coefficient of the interaction term is greater than the coefficient of oil price as anticipated. This would mean that as long as institutional quality is good enough, oil price changes positively influence economic performance on oil exporting economies. As such, the findings of this thesis have important policy implications. Since implementation of quality institutions is an on-going process, the study results suggest that institutions should be strengthened towards economic activities rather than for political mileage.

Employee performance remains a challenge for companies because of the increasingly competitive level of competition. Organizations are increasingly required to focus on Human Resource Management (HRM) to improve organizational sustainability. Achieving organizational sustainability becomes unrealistic without employee participation and commitment. This study aims to analyze the effect of work-life balance, job demands, job insecurity on employee performance with employee well-being as a mediating variable. The research method used is explanatory quantitative with SEM-PLS. The sample in this study were 100 employees of PT Jaya Lautan Global. The sampling technique used in this research is saturated sampling (census). The results showed that Work-Life Balance and Job Demands had a positive and significant effect on Employee Well-Being. Job Insecurity has a negative and significant effect on Employee Well-Being. Work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Job Demands have a negative and significant effect on employee performance, while Job Insecurity has a negative and insignificant effect on employee performance. Employee well-being has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The results of the mediation show that employee well-being can partially mediate the effect of work-life balance and job insecurity on employee performance, while employee well-being can fully mediate the effect of job demands on employee performance.

Background: Aesthetics has become a major concern nowadays. Loss of interdental papilla in the anterior region of the oral cavity accounts for a major compromise in aesthetics. Thus, techniques to correct this defect has emerged as a new area of research in dentistry. The present study aims to compare reconstruction of the interdental papilla using subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG)and platelet rich fibrin (PRF).

Material and Methods: The present randomised clinical trial included 36 patients equally divided into test (platelet rich fibrin) and control groups (subepithelial connective tissue graft). Papilla reconstruction was done and clinical parameters- contact point to interdental papilla distance (CPID), width of keratinized gingiva (WKG), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), papillary bleeding index (PBI), pocket depth (PPD) were recorded at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Healing index (HI) was recorded at 1, 2 and 3 weeks.

Results: At the end of 6 months, it was found that interdental papillae fill in terms of decrease in distance from the contact point to the interdental papilla tip and gain in WKG was statistically significant in both the groups (p value ≤0.05). On intergroup comparison, however, it was found that the improvement in the abovementioned parameters was significantly greater in the control group (39.32%) as compared to the test group (14.79%). The difference in other clinical parameters at various time intervals were found to be nonsignificant.

Dynamics Qf Urban Growth And Environmental Challenges: A Case Qf Kolkata, India
Authors: Dey Falguni
Published: October 2021

The history of development of Kolkata as a megacity in India dates back to 300 years. The scenario changed when the administrative headquarter of the British East India Company was established in erstwhile Calcutta, located at the bank of the River Hugli in the lower Gangetic plain. Since its inception, Kolkata has undergone rapid formal and functional change. Both national and international migration has led to the demographic explosion, urban industrial development and an increase in economic opportunities which caused environmental degradation. Until 1793, the urban dynamics of Kolkata followed a linear pattern along the left bank of the Hugli River. A similar trend continued along the right bank from 1793 to 1947 and extended up to its periphery post-independence. In this paper, an attempt was made to explore the influence of river ghats on the urban environment along the selected stretch of the River Hugli. Human activities like garbage disposal (0.089), sewage disposal (0.088) and idol immersion (0.084) have a negative impact on the river water. Secondly, this paper attempts to study the vertical expansion of Kolkata. It has been observed that the average height of buildings in the CBD area is 84.6 meters while along the peri-urban area it is only 10.61 meters proving the distance decay effect (R2 = 0.405 and R2 = 0.314). Besides, the mean values of DQ (5.179mg/l), BQD (8.5mg/l) and CQD (34.5mg/l) in the river water reflect the degrading water quality for the aquatic environment. Geospatial assessment techniques were used to understand the research problems and combat the environmental challenges. Complex functional development and decaying urban quality of life along the Hugli River has led to critical environmental transformation.
The Belt and Road Initiative in North Eurasia: Changing Geographies and the UNECE Multilateral Environmental Agreements
Authors: Cheremeteff Fiona , Shvarts Evgeny , Simonov Eugene , Broekhoven Guido , Tracy Elena F. , Khmeleva Ekaterina
Published: October 2021

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), launched by China in 2013 to increase economic and transport connectivity along the Eurasian continent and beyond, has posed unprecedented environmental and social risks, many of which are transboundary in nature. International legal tools contained in Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) can play an important role in mitigating such transboundary risks across space and time, as well as reduce the negative impacts of large infrastructure projects, such as are being developed under the auspices of the BRI. However, the adoption of MEA policy tools has been very uneven across the continent. Three conventions in particular, the 1991 Espoo Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment, the 1998 Aarhus Convention, and the 1992 Helsinki Water Convention (the UNECE MEAs) - have the least amount of ratifications by BRI countries. In this paper we discuss these three conventions and demonstrate their relevance in addressing the transboundary risks of large infrastructure projects which require complex coordination and long-term planning.

Extended ratification of these UNECE MEAs by nations along the BRI corridors should significantly assist in positively changing geographies by minimizing BRI environmental risks and threats on a transboundary and national dimension, but simultaneously (i) create a more unified approach towards sustainability across the BRI, (ii) raise involvement (and likely subsequent) support within communities for BRI projects, (iii) help to reduce related economic risks throughout Eurasia.

The article deals with the problem of spatial differentiation of road transport pollution due to the planning structure changes in the new capital of Kazakhstan. The purpose of the work is to study territorial differences in from vehicles Nur-Sultan from vehicles and to identify the role of embodied planning measures among the main factors of its differentiation. The research methodology included the analysis of 1) the city functions and planning structure transformation as well as the buildings and road network density and concentration; 2) traffic speed and intensity, emissions and their distribution areas for each street.

The analysis showed that since 1997, when Nur-Sultan received the capital status, it has grown 3 times in the area, 3.5 times in population, and 6 times in the level of motorization. However, the volume of traffic emissions in the city increased only 2 times, largely due to the development of the planning structure and configuration of the road network. The development of a second center in the new part of the city along with the decrease in the barrier function of the river and transport transit because of the faster construction of transport infrastructure led to an increase in the density of the road network by more than 2 times while reducing the density of emissions in the city center by 2.25 times. For the rest of the territory, despite different growth rates in the road network density, the density of emissions steadily decreases from the center to the periphery. However, several locations with a high level of pollution are still present in the middle part, while on the outskirts of the city there are blocks of estate-type houses with low-quality roads, which hinder the development of public transport.

This study aimed to map the status of mangrove forests over the coasts of Hai Ha District and Mong Cai City in Quang Ninh Province by using 2019 Landsat-8 imagery. It then developed the AGB estimation model of mangrove forests based on the AGB estimation-derived plots inventory and vegetation indices-derived from Landsat-8 data. As results, there were five land covers identified, including mangrove forests, other vegetation, wetlands, built-up, and water, with the overall accuracy assessments of 80.0% and Kappa coefficient of 0.74. The total extent of mangrove forests was estimated at 4291.2 ha. The best AGB estimation model that was selected to estimate the AGB and AGC of mangrove forests for the whole coasts of Hai Ha District and Mong Cai City is AGB= 30.38 + 911.95*SAVI (R2=0.924, PValue <0.001). The model validation assessment has confirmed that the selected AGB model can be applied to Hai Ha and Mong Cai coasts with the mean difference between AGB observed and AGB predicted at 16.0 %. This satisfactory AGB model also suggests a good potential for AGB and AGC mapping, which offer the carbon trading market in the study site. As the AGB model selected, the total AGB and AGC of mangrove forests were estimated at about 14,600,000 tons and 6,868,076 tons with a range of from 94.0 - 432.0 tons ha-1, from 44.2 - 203.02 tons ha-1, respectively. It also suggests that the newly-developed AGB model of mangrove forests can be used to estimate AGC stocks and carbon sequestration of mangrove forests for C-PFES in over the coasts of Hai Ha District and Mong Cai City, which is a very importantly financial source for mangrove forest managers, in particular for local mangrove protectors.
Management of Constipation through Yogic Therapy

The purpose of this review article is to identify and analyse, the problem of constipation, its causes, symptoms, risk factors and complications arising in human life. Constipation problems were recognised by some previous empirical research. Constipation presents as a perpetual problem in health-care with painful and debilitating consequences, however, it is frequently preventable. A prerequisite to prevention is an assessment of the risk of a condition occurring so that interventions can be individualised in an attempt to prevent it. Yoga is a unique way of lifestyle management of many common health misalignments for the prevention of diseases, preservation and promotion of health. Yoga, in fact, gives due importance to different layers of existence functions for maintaining positive health example physical layer (Annamaya Khosa), pranic layer (Pranamaya Khosa), mental layer (Manomaya Khosa), scientific layer (Vigyanmaya Khosa) and blissful layer (Anandamaya Khosa). Yoga is a science of integration of human consciousness with nature. The objective experimentation is the most important aspect of searching the truth employed by modern science that searches into many practices of yoga demanding both subjective as well as objective tools for understanding the effects for further application and wider acceptance. Studies have been conducted around the world on many yoga therapies for the management of the problem of constipation i.e enema that clears the constipation and provide mental peace. This enabled subsequent work to be performed to develop a risk assessment tool for constipation that could be used in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE

To describe rates of surgical complications, survival, and return to breeding soundness following herniorrhaphy for bulls with inguinal hernias.

ANIMALS

13 sexually mature bulls with acquired inguinal hernias.

PROCEDURES

Medical record databases of 3 veterinary teaching hospitals were searched to identify records of bulls that underwent herniorrhaphy for correction of an inguinal hernia from 2005 to 2017. Information extracted from the medical records included breed, age, duration and side of the hernia, surgical procedure details, postoperative complications, and information regarding subsequent fertility.

RESULTS

All 13 bulls had a left inguinal hernia and were anesthetized and underwent herniorrhaphy via an inguinal approach. The left testicle was removed during the surgical procedure in 2 bulls. Nylon or polypropylene mesh secured with size-5 polyester suture was used to facilitate inguinal ring closure in 2 bulls. The inguinal ring was closed with size-5 or size-2 polyester suture in the remaining bulls. Postoperative complications included hernia recurrence (n = 4), excessive scrotal swelling (3), and transient radial nerve paralysis (1). Follow-up information was available for 7 bulls. All 7 bulls had impregnated cows or heifers following surgery, including 1 bull that had hernia recurrence and underwent unilateral castration during the second herniorrhaphy.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Inguinal herniorrhaphy with or without mesh was a safe and effective procedure for inguinal hernia repair in bulls and was associated with a good prognosis for subsequent fertility. However, sparing the ipsilateral testicle during the herniorrhaphy procedure might increase the risk for hernia recurrence.
“Passing a looped and knotted string between their hands”. The Bible, the Women’s Liberation Movement and Women’s Bonds in Michèle Roberts’s The Wild Girl
Authors: Rychter Ewa
Published: October 2021

This paper claims that through a feminist rewriting of the Bible, Michèle Roberts’s novel The Wild Girl (1984) articulates the ambivalences and insecurities that emerged in the British Women’s Liberation movement after its initial period of great energy, hopefulness and enthusiasm of the 1970s. By rewriting the biblical insistence on female rivalry and competition, and revising biblical “gynotypes” and “fragmented women”, the novel not only exposes the patriarchal discourses of the Bible, but also critically revisits the WLM’s utopian visions of unity, and re-imagines the ways in which women can cooperate while preserving their differences. When juxtaposed with more recent women’s rewritings, often driven by (and catering to) market economy and consumer culture, Roberts’s novel is a useful remainder of the still consequential need to “look back in order to move forward” (Plate 406). The novel’s small-scale, grass-roots level sisterhood, never altogether free from tensions, is a quietly optimistic vision of women’s bonds, a “secret gospel” proclaiming the good news about the precarious and changeable relationship among women, and about the need of its incessant reworking.
