THE NEXUS BETWEEN FISCAL POLICY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH FOR JORDAN: FRESH INSIGHTS FROM MAKI COINTEGRATION
Authors: AL-KASASBEH OMAR MOHAMMAD
Published: April 2022

The current study was carried out to empirically investigate the relationships between government expenditure, taxes, and debt in Jordan, using the annual time series data over the period 1980-2020. Despite the increased awareness of the importance of fiscal policy, Jordan is still seeing a drastic decrease in the volume of growth. Thus, this study was carried out to determine how government expenditure, taxes, and debt affect economic growth. For the empirical analysis, the study adopted Augmented Dicky Fuller, Phillips-Perron unit root tests, Zivot and Andrews and Lumsdaine and Papell unit root tests with structural breaks. It employs recently developed econometric techniques such as Maki cointegration tests allowing for an unknown number of breaks. The results of the cointegration test showed the presence of a cointegration relationship with structural breaks. It was found that the Jordanian crisis that occurred in 1989 harmed economic growth. However, the structural break in 2008 had an affirmative effect on economic growth. According to the study, tax revenues, public deficits, and debt can all be reduced and the economy can thrive if policymakers implement smart fiscal policies that boost gross fixed capital formation.

Abstract: Energy is an important tool for the overall development and improvement of the quality of life. To make energy an efficient building means using less energy for doing the same amount of work. The meaning of energy efficiency is to reduce energy consumption, reduce greenhouse gases (carbon emission) and global warming and decrease the dependence on fossil fuel by taking the benefit of natural resources and minimizing the waste of energy. Due to the increase of world population, it is nearly about 40% of the annual energy consumed in the world in building today. In India, buildings are responsible for onethird of total energy consumption today. The use of building energy will be continuously growing by rapid population growth. The case study focuses primarily on three types of bricks: red brick, concrete brick, and autoclaved aerated blocks. We find that Concrete bricks have the highest cooling load and AAC Blocks have the lowest. As a result of this, we can con The peak cooling load has been reduced by 60% in comparison, so it is a more preferred choice than the traditional ones determine that AAC Blocks require less cooling to maintain comfortable room conditions, resulting in a reduction in the use of electricity. If we are to meet a sustainable goal then we have to decrease the use of energy for space heating and cooling and in environmental terms, buildings are used to maintain thermal comfort. By making an energy-efficient structure sure Selecting a proper material and by analyzing in AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit software. Changing the material of the structure and analyzing the thermal insulation of the structure. Keywords: Energy Efficient building, Thermal Insulation, Energy consumption.

Modeling of the oscillation amplitude of a statically indeterminate flat frame subjected to the impact load with account taken of the contact deformation
Authors: Bityurin Anatoliy A.
Published: April 2022

Introduction. The article addresses transverse vibrations of a post in a rigidly fixed statically indeterminate flat frame subjected to the falling load, having pre-set mass and pre-impact velocity. The post of a vertical frame has initial curvature affecting the maximum amplitude of transverse vibrations triggered by the impact.

Materials and methods. In the course of modeling, the frame beam impact takes account of deformations in the contact area to ensure the accuracy of calculations, because otherwise the impact force value will be overestimated. It is assumed that the falling load has the shape of a cylinder featuring a certain length, when the transverse load impact on a frame beam is simulated. The linearization of the relationship between the force and the deformation of cylindrical surfaces is used. The frame post, connected to the beam and the base, is a homogeneous rod rigidly fixed at both ends. Following the load impact on the frame beam, the top end of the post absorbs the initial bending moment and the shear force, whose values depend on the mass the and pre-impact velocity of the load, the beam attachment method, and the ratio between axial moments of inertia in beam and post sections in the plane of the frame. Using the method of initial parameters, the maximum deflection of a perfectly straight and curved post is calculated for different pre-impact velocity values of the load. The maximum deflection was modeled for curved and perfectly straight posts at different pre-impact velocities of a load having the same mass.

Results. The dependence between the value of maximum deflection of a vertical frame post and the pre-impact velocity of the falling load was obtained.

Published: April 2022

El objetivo fue evaluar las características de la canal y perfil de ácidos grasos (AG) de la carne de corderos criollos suplementados con semilla de algodón (SA) y maíz molido (MM). Se utilizaron 24 machos con 90 días y 16 ± 2 kg de peso inicial. Los corderos se asignaron a cuatro tratamientos, T0: pastoreo; T1: pastoreo + 25%-SA + 75%-MM; T2: pastoreo + 50%-SA + 50%-MM y T3: pastoreo + 75%-SA + 25%-MM, bajo un diseño completo aleatorizado. Posterior a 127 días de suplementación, los animales se sacrificaron y se pesó la canal caliente y fría. Se tomaron 200 g del músculo Longissimus dorsi para evaluar la proporción de AG en cada animal mediante cromatografía de gases. Se desarrolló un análisis de varianza para determinar el efecto de la dieta. Los animales suplementados presentaron un peso promedio de 32.15 kg, siendo mayor (P<0.05) al registrado por los corderos del T0 (23.3 kg). De igual forma, se observó un mayor rendimiento promedio de las canales de los corderos que recibieron suplementación (48.2 vs 39.5 %). Los AG palmítico y esteárico aumentaron en la carne de animales suplementados (P≤0.05), especialmente en aquellos alimentados con la dieta T2. La suplementación con SA y MM alteró positivamente (P≤0.05) la proporción de los ácidos monoinsaturados (AGM) y polinsaturados (AGP). Los tratamientos no influyeron en (P>0.05) la relación AGM:AGS y el índice de aterogenicidad. Sin embargo, la dieta afectó (P<0.05) la relación AGP:AGS y AG deseables. La suplementación con SA y MM influyó positivamente el peso a la matanza, el rendimiento en canal y el perfil de ácidos grasos en los corderos.

Published: April 2022

The increased demand to produce large quantities of meat and animal products for human consumption has promoted the indiscriminate use of antimicrobials. The increased use of these substances in the production of poultry, has negative consequences on Public Health due to the fact that the accumulation of antimicrobial residues in the organs and tissues of poultry might reach the consumer. The presence of antimicrobial residues can cause problems of hypersensitivity in humans, or the emergence of antimicrobial resistant pathogens. The purpose of this work was to assess the presence of antimicrobial residues in kidney and muscle tissue of poultry, commercialized in four municipalities of the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara, Jalisco. The results show that kidney samples had a higher number of positive results compared to muscle tissue. Inhibitors of the folate pathway (sulfamethazine) were the antimicrobials with the highest number of positive results in kidney samples. In contrast, in muscle tissue, β-Lactam (penicillin) were the antimicrobials with the highest number of positive samples. Regarding the analysis of the results by municipalities, it was observed that one of them showed a greater number of positive samples for all the classes of antimicrobials evaluated. This work shows the presence of antimicrobial residues in kidney and muscle tissues of poultry, commercialized in retail sites. Therefore, it is necessary to increase efforts to monitor and control the use of antimicrobial in poultry farms.

La selección genética preimplantacional frente a la crítica del modelo social de la discapacidad
Authors: Marshall Pablo
Published: April 2022

El presente artículo analiza los principales argumentos ofrecidos por la literatura en relación con la pregunta si debe permitirse la diagnostico y selección genética preimplantacional en el contexto de técnicas de reproducción asistida con miras a evitar la presencia de una discapacidad. Las principales posiciones en el debate bioético se enfrentan a un desafío adicional cuando se consideran las críticas provenientes del discurso sobre la discapacidad. De este modo, cuando la dimensión social opresiva de la discapacidad es tomada en cuenta, ella resulta en una serie de cuestionamientos que podrían poner en entredicho las conclusiones más decantadas del debate bioético. Sin embargo, el modelo social no ha estado exento de críticas y una de ellas, la minusvaloración de la importancia de características de origen biológico frente a una discapacidad de origen social, resuena particularmente en el debate sobre selección genética preimplantacional.
La tesis de Duhem, el anarquismo metodológico de Feyerabend y la pregunta sobre la justificación del cambio epistémico
Authors: Serna Ramírez Edgar
Published: April 2022

La tesis de Duhem-Quine brinda plausibilidad al anarquismo metodológico de Feyerabend al mostrar que la refutación empírica de un sistema teórico es tan quimérica como su verificación. Frente a esto, Grünbaum argumenta que dicha tesis es insostenible. Ambos coinciden en la formulación del argumento de Duhem expuesto por Quine. Empero, la exégesis que, al respecto, realizan Quinn, Laudan y Ariew indica que constituye un error identificar la tesis de Duhem-Quine con la tesis de Duhem. Afirmo que, si es así, entonces esta última no excluye lógicamente la posibilidad de una refutación constatable como tal únicamente en retrospectiva.
Accessible Surface Area and the Prediction of the Phenotypes of Missense Mutations
Authors: Faraggi Eshel , Jernigan Robert , Kloczkowski Andrzej
Published: April 2022

Distinguishing between harmful and benign genetic variations is
fundamental to our understanding of the relationship between genome and
disease in general and for personalized medicine in particular. We
investigated the relationship between predicted change in RASA and the
phenotype of a missense mutation (MM). The ASAquick program was used to
obtain RASA predictions for the original and mutated sequence and a
parameter, δ , was introduced to assess the change in RASA for a given
MM. We find that predicted RASA shows a robust, intricate signal with
respect to genetic variation and that changes in RASA between variants
can form a basis for a simple and quick predictor of the effect of MMs.
Furthermore, we find that for hydrophobic residues, increase in the RASA
corresponds to an increase in the likelihood that a MM would be harmful.
For hydrophilic residues we find that a decrease in the RASA corresponds
to a likelihood that a MM would be harmful. We also find that the size
of the change in predicted RASA plays a role in determining the effect
of a given MM. In future work we plan to use these results in developing
more sophisticated forms of MM phenotype predictors.
Some traveling wave solutions to the generalized (3+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries-Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in plasma physics
Authors: Tariq Kalim U. , Javed Rizwan
Published: April 2022

In this article, the generalized (3+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de
Vries-Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation is investigated, which describes the
influence of magnetic fields on weak ion-acoustic waves in plasma made
up of cool and hot electrons and may be regarded as a nonlinear
complicated physical model. To find out some new traveling waves
solutions and other exact solutions, the improved $F$-expansion
approach and the $\exp(-\phi
(\zeta))$-expansion approach is applied to above
mentioned nonlinear higher dimensional model. Several solutions have
been found, including dark soliton, periodic type solitons, bell shaped
solitons, single bell shaped solitons. We also show a graphical
representation of a number of exact solutions to the equation, together
with a description of their behaviour. The proposed techniques can also
be used to solve a range of nonlinear evolution problems in mathematical
physics and plasma physics.
A Novel Approach to Treatment of Anomalous Coronary Arteries -- Surgical Revascularisation using the Pure Internal Thoracic Artery Technique
Authors: L Ramon James , De Sudeep Das , Singh Sanjeet Singh Avtaar , Dreisbach John , Watkins Stuart , Al-Attar Nawwar
Published: April 2022

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the use of CABG utilising an isolated pedicled
Right Internal Thoracic Artery (RITA) or Left Internal Thoracic Artery
(LITA) or the Pure Internal Thoracic Artery (PITA) technique to treat
anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery (AAOCA). METHODS: A
retrospective review of all patients at our institution over an 8-year
period (2013-2021) who underwent surgery for AAOCA was performed. Data
assessed included patient demographics, initial presentation, morphology
of coronary anomaly, surgical procedure, cross-clamp time,
cardiopulmonary bypass time and long-term outcome. RESULTS: 14 patients
underwent surgery which included 11 males (78.5%) with a median
logistic EuroSCORE of 1.605 (IQR 1.34). Median age was 62.5 years (IQR
48.75). Presentation was angina (7 patients), acute coronary syndrome (5
patients), incidental findings in aortic valve pathology (2 patients).
AAOCA morphology varied: RCA from left coronary sinus (6), RCA from left
main stem (3), left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus (1),
left main stem arising from right coronary sinus (2) and circumflex
artery arising from the right coronary sinus (2). Seven patients had
co-existing flow-limiting coronary artery disease. CABG was performed
using either a pedicled skeletonized RITA, LITA or PITA technique. There
was no perioperative mortality. Overall median follow-up time was 43
months. One patient presented with recurrent angina secondary to graft
failure at 2 years and there were 2 non-cardiac related deaths at 4 and
35 months. CONCLUSION: The use of internal thoracic artery grafts can
provide a durable treatment option in patients with anomalous coronary
arteries. The potential risk of graft failure in patients with no flow
limiting disease should be very carefully considered. However, a
proposed benefit of this technique is the use of a pedicle flow to
increase the long-term patency. More consistent results are obtained
when ischaemia can be demonstrated preoperatively.

Background and Objective: With improved survival in neonates
with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), the focus is currently on
mitigating the morbidities. The objective of this study was to predict
factors determining prolonged hospital stay in neonates with MAS.
Materials and methods: It was a retrospective cohort from five
centres of south India between 2018 and 2020. Neonates ≥35 weeks of
gestation admitted to NICU with the diagnosis of MAS and requiring
oxygen beyond 24 hours of life were included in the study. The
morbidities in the neonates with stay ≤7 days (short stay) were compared
with >7 days (prolonged stay). Logistic regression by the
backward stepwise method was used for predictive score creation.
Results: Out of 347 neonates with MAS discharged home, 103
(29%) had a short stay and 244 (71%) had prolonged stay. The primary
support beyond O2 (CPAP/MV) (42% vs 83%, p<0.001), FiO2 at
1hr>30% (45% vs 87%, p<0.001), HIE stage 2 or
3 (2% vs 27%, p<0.001), moderate-severe PPHN (3% vs 31%,
p<0.001) were independent factors associated with prolonged
stay on logistic regression. A prediction model was devised using
weighted scores of these four associated morbidities. The clinical score
thus developed had 83% sensitivity, 68% specificity for the prediction
of prolonged stay [AUC- 82, 95% CI (78-87), p<0.001].
Conclusion: More than two-thirds of neonates with MAS had
prolonged stay. The primary support beyond oxygen, Fio2 requirement
>30%, Moderate to severe PPHN, HIE stage 2 or 3 were
predictive of prolonged stay in neonates with MAS.

Pleural drainage was differently performed in two similar neighboring
hospitals (32.0 % vs. 58.2 %, p < 0.001), but the length of
stay was shorter in the hospital using a more conservative approach
(median 12 days vs. 18 days, p < 0.001). This result seemed
unrelated to severity but associated with the shorter duration of
intravenous treatment. This study adds to previous reports suggesting
that pleural drainage is unnecessary in many cases; controlled studies
are needed to determine which patients may actually benefit from its
use.
The AM fungus Rhizophagus intraradices alleviates pea aphid infestation and subsequent Phoma medicaginis infection in alfalfa
Authors: Wang Yajie , Li Yingde , Duan Tingyu
Published: April 2022

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are important in plant resistance
against insects and disease. However, the effect of AM fungi in plants
during simultaneous pathogen and insect attacks is unknown. Phoma
medicaginis and pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) majorly limit alfalfa
production worldwide. This study established an alfalfa (Medicago
sativa)-AM fungus Rhizophagus intraradices-P. medicaginis-pea aphid
system. RNA-seq analysis was done to determine the differentially
expressed genes, plant defense, and signaling substances in different
alfalfa treatments.Pea aphid increased P. medicaginis disease occurrence
by 24.94%. The AM fungus decreased the disease index by 22.37% and
enhanced alfalfa growth and development by increasing the plant total N
and total P uptake. P. medicagonis induced plant CAT and POD activity by
292.93 and 63.46%, NO and trypsin inhibitor contents by 9.80 and
5.71%. However, aphids induced PPO activity, and AM fungi enhanced
plant-defense enzyme activity against aphid infestation and subsequent
P. medicaginis infection. Additionally, the AM fungus increased the SA
and ABA content of plants exposed to pathogen- or aphid-stress. Abscisic
acid and hormone binding GO terms were up-regulated in aphid-infested or
pathogen-infected alfalfa. However, AM fungus down-regulated genes
related to the KEGG pathway, ribosome, for resisting P. medicaginis and
pea aphid attack. The MAPK signaling pathway-plant (map04016) was
up-regulated in alfalfa against pea aphid or P. medicaginis.Moreover,
the AM fungus enhanced aphid-induced plant defense and signaling and may
defend alfalfa against subsequent disease and insect pest attacks.
Multidisciplinary approach in the rehabilitation of partial edentulousness - adjunctive orthodontic and subsequent prosthodontic treatment
Authors: Secerbegovic-Srna Irma , Biocanin Vladimir
Published: April 2022

Introduction. Malocclusions in partially edentulous patients represent a
special rehabilitation challenge in dentistry. In patients who, in addition
to orthodontic problem, also have a certain number of missing teeth, it is
necessary to approach in a multidisciplinary manner. This approach implies a
synergy of conservative, orthodontic and prosthetic treatment. The aim of
this paper was to present a patient with partial edentulism including upper
left canine palatally located that was successfully rehabilitated with
orthodontic and subsequent fixed prosthodontic treatment. Case report. The
clinical examination of the 24-year-old patient was followed by additional
orthodontic analysis that included analysis of study models, X-rays, and
photographs. The patient was found to have ectopic teeth 13 and 23, reverse
overbite of the tooth 12, and tooth 26 was extracted in childhood. Due to
the prevalence of carious lesions and tooth destruction, the attending
dentist planned extraction of teeth 16, 14, 24, 25. It was decided to
conduct adjunctive orthodontic treatment in order to achieve tooth levelling
and move teeth to the positions planned in the previous analysis. After
completion of orthodontic treatment, fixed prosthodontic work was done to
achieve complete functional and aesthetic rehabilitation.
Collective memory-work: Origins, theoretical considerations, and practice
Authors: Djordjevic Ana
Published: April 2022

The subject of this paper is social-scientific methodology collective memory-work and its relevance for psychological inquiry. The aim is to present it through elaboration of its historical and theoretical foundations and assumptions, as well as practical guidance for research. From the original idea until current literature, chosen aspects of this methodology are considered within certain theoretical frameworks and debates, with accompanying dilemmas, which is why the paper has polemic character. Introduction outlines the relevance of this methodology, as well as the relevance of the paper, as the first elaborated review of this subject in regional languages. Next follows the historical look at the pioneering project of collective memory-work, its feminist-Marxist background, as well as consideration of several theoretical aspects (subjectification, memories, experience and theory, collective deconstruction, person). Basic assumptions of the memory-work are derived from previous discussion and presented separately. The next section contains main directions of development and applications of the methodology, considerations relevant for psychological topics, and comparison with similar methodologies. Subsequent is the practical part of the paper, where the basic guidance for research is offered through progressive sequencing of the research phases. Finally, dilemmas regarding evaluation criteria for collective memory-work are discussed. In the conclusion, the place and relevance of this methodology for social-scientific and psychological research are summarized.

The purposes of this study were to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of different cleaning methods from a previously etched and silanized lithium disilicate glass ceramic (EMX) surface after contact with organic fluids (saliva or human blood) and 2) assess the effect of applying a new silane layer after the cleaning methods on the microshear bond strength (mSBS) of resin cement to EMX. EMX discs were etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid (HF) and properly silanized. Three control groups were created (n=10): control (without contamination), saliva positive, and human blood positive. Later, after new contaminations, the samples were distributed into four groups according to the cleaning method (n=20): air–water spray (AWS), 35% phosphoric acid, 70% alcohol, or Ivoclean cleaning paste. After the cleaning methods, subgroups were submitted to a new silane layer application, or not (n=10). All samples received a thin layer of a bonding agent and, subsequently, three light-cured resin cement cylinders were prepared on each EMX surface for the mSBS test. This test was performed on a universal testing machine at a vertical speed of 1 mm/minute until rupture. Contaminated and cleaned silanized EMX surfaces were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (n=1). The noncontaminated control group showed an average mSBS of 18.7 MPa, and the positive saliva and human blood control groups yielded a 34% and 42% reduction in bond strength, respectively, compared to the uncontaminated control (p<0.05). For saliva-contaminated surfaces, all cleaning methods were effective and not different from one another or the control group (p>0.05). However, for human blood contamination, only Ivoclean cleaning paste was effective in restoring μSBS to uncontaminated control group levels (p>0.05). SEM images showed a clean surface (ie, with no contaminant residues) after the cleaning methods, regardless of the organic contaminant type. All the assessed cleaning methods were effective in removing saliva from the silanized EMX surface; however, only Ivoclean was able to restore the adhesion quality when the silanized EMX surface was contaminated with human blood.

Authors: Henao Héctor , Chávez Alejandra , Ruiz Mojica Adriana María , Jofre David
Published: April 2022

Una de las principales dificultades en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje es la existencia de ideas erróneas que conllevan a estructuras conceptuales deficientes llamadas frecuentemente conceptos alternativos. El presente trabajo propuso y puso en práctica una serie de innovaciones educativas en la enseñanza de la termodinámica, cuyo fin fue generar un conflicto cognitivo que permitiera al estudiante confrontar sus conceptos alternativos y modificarlos. Los cursos en los cuales se desarrolló este estudio se efectuaron de manera presencial durante los años del 2015 al 2019 y fue ajustada a modalidad no presencial durante los años 2020 y 2021. La metodología de investigación comprendió una extensa revisión bibliográfica, la selección de cuatro innovaciones educativas para el diseño del curso, la puesta en práctica de las innovaciones durante siete años y la evaluación de los impactos de las innovaciones a partir de encuestas escritas y entrevistas grupales. Los resultados revelan un alto grado de aceptación de las metodologías implementadas en el curso tanto para la modalidad presencial como para la modalidad no presencial. Los estudiantes expresaron que las innovaciones pedagógicas posibilitaron un cambio conceptual y el despertar de un sentido crítico sobre los contenidos de la termodinámica.
Percepções sobre o currículo e a diversidade cultural na sala de aulas com educandos adultos
Authors: Espada António Salvador Domingos
Published: April 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é de realçar algumas perceções sobre o conceito de currículo e a relevância da sua contextualização no processo de Ensino e Aprendizagem, tendo em conta a diversidade cultural baseada em idade que se manifesta nas salas de aulas, principalmente, no curso noturno, onde há uma mistura de educandos considerados crianças, jovens e adultos. Foi usada a metodologia descritiva baseada em leituras feitas sobre a matéria e interpretação de ideias-chave defendidas por alguns autores e, também, tem como base a pesquisa que realizei no período 2015 – 2017, na cidade de Maputo. O problema é que os educandos adultos, quando são misturados na mesma sala de aulas com crianças e jovens ficam retraídos e isto prejudica o seu processo de Ensino e Aprendizagem. Entre outros resultados da pesquisa, destaca-se a urgência para o desenho e implementação de um currículo específico até a 12ª classe para os educandos adultos que ingressam na Alfabetização e educação de adultos.
Literatura Indígena e Regimes de Conhecimento
Authors: Horacio Heiberle Hirsgberg
Published: April 2022

Este artigo objetiva apresentar a necessária compreensão da indissociabilidade entre Literatura Indígena e Regimes de Conhecimento Indígena para a realização de atividades, nas escolas não indígenas, em observância à Lei 11645/08 que inclui “no currículo oficial da rede de ensino a obrigatoriedade da temática História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira e Indígena”. O problema que o orienta tem relação com certa concepção que mobiliza a Literatura Indígena de “modo estanque” e desconsiderando as dinâmicas próprias que as literaturas desses povos possuem, negligenciando as suas diversidades e as diferenças, sobretudo com relação a determinadas literaturas não indígenas.  O artigo foi construído a partir de leituras de referências de diferentes áreas, mas, principalmente, da relação do autor deste artigo com as literaturas e com professoras(es) indígenas, sobretudo professores e obras Xakriabá.
