‘A Place of Our Own’: Puerto Rican Muslims and Their Architectural Responses as Quadruple Minorities
Authors: Chitwood Ken
Published: May 2022

This article adopts a horizontally integrative approach to understanding Islamic architecture in the traditionally excluded geography of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is literally and figuratively left off the map of the so-called ‘Muslim world’ and there is very little about its mezquitas (mosques) or the Andalusian legacy in its built environment in the published record of Islamic architectures, sites, and responses. I argue, based on my ethnographic fieldwork undertaken in 2015–17 and 2019–21, that Puerto Rican Muslims counter their multiple marginalizations – identifying as Muslim in the Puerto Rican community, Puerto Rican in the Muslim community, and both Muslim and Puerto Rican in the context of the American empire – through various architectural responses. To make this argument, I discuss the physical landscape of Islamic architecture in Puerto Rico, including innovative and adaptive spaces constructed in protest of the elitism found in certain mezquitas, and locales where Andalusian architectural influence is readily visible. This leads to my critical examination of how the diverse, dynamic, and vernacular architectural responses of Puerto Rican Muslims speak to each of their minoritizations.

Extra-illustrating the road: Fold-out maps as material and conceptual add-ons to John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress
Authors: Collé Nathalie
Published: May 2022

This article assesses the prototypes of the maps that accompanied John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, their uses and functions in the books in which they appeared, as well as their impact on the reading and interpretation of the text. It analyses these maps while taking into account the illustrators’, the publishers’ and the readers’ perspectives. In doing so, it questions the nature of the interaction between these extra, global images of the journey and their initial, local textual counterparts as well as their more traditional illustrations. It posits that these maps are, in some ways, extra-illustrations – not only of a canonical work but also of earlier illustrations of that text. They are publishers’ rather than readers’ add-ons to the book, the literary work and its iconographic corpus, and yet they constitute interesting cases of ‘modern’ extra-illustration that invite us to rethink the very concept. This article also shows how these maps were re-appropriated in recent iconographic interpretations of Bunyan’s allegory, notably by children taking part in drawing contests, digital artists reinterpreting Christian’s journey, and firms commercializing prints and games based on Bunyan’s text. These latter creations provide examples of what could be called ‘extra illustrations of extra illustrations’ and therefore allow us to assess the process that leads from one type to another, and the chain of descent that binds them in spite of their historical, material and functional distinctions.

Authors: Khayatian Mohammadsadegh , Fartash Kiarash , Sattari Parisa
Published: May 2022

Science and technology parks (STPs) play an essential role in strengthening industry–university relationships and fostering innovation that can be considered an important mechanism to facilitate the formation and growth of knowledge-based firms. Therefore, this article investigates the effect of university STPs’ financial support, which was found to be the main barrier to innovation in the literature, on the innovation of their tenant firms. Data were collected in the summer of 2019 through interviews with ten experts and questionnaires filled by 348 firms located in university-affiliated STPs in Iran. Data were analysed quantitatively by SPSS. The findings of the research indicated that there is a positive and significant correlative relationship between the university STPs’ financial support and the innovation of firms. Although the effect of different STPs’ financial support mechanisms was in a similar range, branding facilities were more effective, particularly on marketing innovation. Eventually, to make improvements in this regard, suggestions were made to STPs, their tenant firms for conducting fruitful future research.

Authors: Kim Hyung Jun , Park Moo-Seok , Kim Jee-Eun , Song Tae-Jin
Published: May 2022

Background: There is inadequate information on the validation of diabetic microvascular complications in the Korean National Health Insurance Service data set. We aimed to validate the diagnostic algorithms regarding the nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy of diabetes.Methods: From various secondary and tertiary medical centers, we selected 6,493 patients aged ≥ 40 years who were diagnosed with diabetic microvascular complications more than once based on codes in the 10th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). During 2019 and 2020, we randomly selected the diagnoses of 200 patients, 100 from each of two hospitals. The positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value, error rate, sensitivity, and specificity were determined for each diabetic microvascular complication according to the ICD-10 codes, laboratory findings, diagnostic studies, and treatment procedure codes.Results: Among the 200 patients who visited the hospital more than once and had the diagnostic codes of diabetic microvascular complications, 142, 110, and 154 patients were confirmed to have the gold standard of diabetic nephropathy (PPV, 71.0%), diabetic neuropathy (PPV, 55.0%), and diabetic retinopathy (PPV, 77.0%), respectively. The PPV and specificity of diabetic nephropathy (PPV, 71.0–81.4%; specificity, 10.3–53.4%), diabetic neuropathy (PPV, 55.0–81.3%; specificity, 66.7–76.7%) and diabetic retinopathy (PPV, 77.0–96.6%; specificity, 2.2–89.1%) increased after combining them with the laboratory findings, diagnostic studies, and treatment procedures codes. These change trends were observed similarly for both hospitals.Conclusions: Defining diabetic microvascular complications using ICD-10 codes and their related examination codes may be a feasible method for studying diabetic complications.

NETWORK APPROACH IN SOCIOLOGISTS: A THEORETICAL REVIEW OF MAIN DIRECTIONS
Authors: Lastovkina Daria A.
Published: May 2022

The twentieth century was marked by a large number of various kinds of changes that affected almost all spheres of society. New phenomena began to appear in sociological science, the explanation of which caused difficulties and required sociological theory to rethink the methods and analytical models used by it. Among the factors that have had an active influence on the evolution of the network concept, first of all, we should include the development of transport infrastructure, telephone networks and the Internet. The concept of a network has been increasingly used to explain social phenomena. This approach in modern sociology is called "network", which, according to many researchers, is quite productive, as it has a high potential in solving existing problems and in forming a response to the emerging tasks of modern sociological science. It should be noted that in the domestic sociological tradition and in applied research, the possibilities of using the "network approach" remain poorly understood. Many Russian sociologists do not include this approach in the focus of their attention. This article presents a comparative theoretical analysis of the existing areas of the network approach. The main aspects of comparison are: the time and context of appearance, the main provisions, the methodology and methods of empirical research. Common features and differences between the analyzed areas are highlighted. At the end of the article, a conclusion is formulated about the autonomy of each of the designated areas. Based on this fact, it is assumed that the term "network approach" is used solely as a collective name for different theories and approaches that operate with the concept of a network in different senses.

Faire du terrain dans une formation universitaire de sociologie : jeux de rôle d’étudiants en observation
Authors: Chartier Marie
Published: May 2022

Cet article revient sur la manière dont les étudiants inscrits en deuxième année de sociologie vivent l’expérimentation de l’observation dans le cadre des travaux dirigés (TD) d’enquête proposés dans une université française. Ce vécu est analysé au prisme de leur condition étudiante : s’intéresser au fonctionnement des enseignements à l’université et au parcours des étudiants de licence 2 de sociologie permet de mettre au jour plusieurs types de tensions à l’œuvre dans l’expérience que font les étudiants de ces TD. Ces tensions se traduisent par différents jeux de rôles qui témoignent d’une pluralité d’appropriations de l’exercice d’observation.
Technology and constitution
Authors: Tenorio Adame Manuel Miguel
Published: May 2022

Este artículo pretende brindar un panorama general consolidado en la necesidad de comprender la relación directa existente entre los derechos, las facultades, supremacía constitucional y la tecnología a partir de planteamientos constitucionales. En el supuesto que los derechos son patrimonio jurídico de los seres humanos, y las facultades como fuente de división de poderes de las instituciones democráticas, se entrelazan a través de los avances tecnológicos desde que el hombre se encuentra organizado en sociedad para lograr el fin de la supremacía constitucional. Nunca el enlace de estos procesos se había dado de una manera tan específica, robusta y rápida a través de la tecnología como herramienta integradora de la sociedad. No podemos dejar desapercibido el hecho de la pandemia mundial del Covid19 el cual nos ha demostrado que el uso de la tecnología para el ejercicio de los derechos de los ciudadanos y las facultades por parte de las autoridades se ejerce en una relación biunívoca atreves de la supremacía constitucional. La pandemia resultó ser la comprobación abrupta de que la tecnología pasa hacer un elemento esencial en el desarrollo de la sociedad y en general de las ciencias sociales, pero en específico de las ciencias jurídicas.
The microphones of fear: Media Criminology and Criminal Discourse of Marginalization
Authors: Granja Angulo Pedro Javier , Palma Escobar Andrea Belén
Published: May 2022

Aunque se lea y se escuche bizarro, los seres humanos, desde tiempos inmemoriales han sentido fascinación por la crueldad. Sin importar quien la produce -el estado o los particulares- la violencia atrae, seduce, tiene su propio auditórium. Y, quienes la rechazan, son, lamentablemente, una ínfima minoría. Los medios de comunicación han tomado el macabro papel que en la Edad Media desempeñaba la plaza pública. No se trata de un fenómeno ingenuo sino de un negocio millonario en el que se impulsa la creación de una sociedad de la vigilancia extrema que mueve capitales hacia los propietarios de los media y todo un amplio espectro empresarial como constructoras de urbanizaciones en las que se vende la falsa ilusión de estar absolutamente libre de toda penuria propia del mundo de los más débiles a quienes se los asocia recurrentemente a un discurso de orden criminal. Esta relación “crimen-medios-miedo-riesgo-mercado-seguridad-neoliberalismo-migrante” desplazó a quienes realmente estudian el fenómeno criminal del análisis serio del mismo y en su lugar ha instalado todo un lenguaje falaz que ha fortalecido el “sacerdocio de la verdad” y que permite pontificar sobre control social a personas sin ningún estudio ni siquiera elemental sobre criminología, que están siempre al servicio del dueño de un medio de comunicación. Se expone cómo estos agentes terminan diseñando “un enemigo feroz” e imponen la política criminal neoliberal, que no tiene mayores diferencias con la política criminal del nazismo, pues su interés es el mismo: tratar de eliminar al que se ve distinto.

Published: May 2022

The condition of water sources in coastal areas has decreased in quality caused by marine pollution. The source of marine pollution is marine debris. Marine debris is a persistent solid object, produced or processed by humans. Indifference and inability to overcome problems and waste management results in environmental quality degradation. Heavy metals are considered as one of the sources of pollution in well water which is used as a source of drinking water. Heavy metals in water and the environment expose humans to many health risks. This research is a research using environmental health risk analysis method. Environmental Health Risk Analysis is an analytical process carried out to calculate or predict health risks from contamination parameters with certain intake levels, intake rates and body weight. This study aims to determine the level of non-carcinogenic risk (RQ) and carcinogenic risk (ECR) of exposure to heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in well water used as a source of drinking water for people on Kodingareng Island and Barrang Lompo Island. This research is an observational research with an environmental health risk analysis design approach with 6 environmental samples and 68 human samples. Data were analyzed by ARKL method and using Microsoft Office Excel and SPSS programs. The results showed that the average concentration of heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in the respondents' drinking water sources was < 0.0002 mg/L and was still below the permissible cadmium (Cd) concentration threshold based on Health Ministry Regulation no. 492 of 2010 for drinking water requirements. The level of non-carcinogenic risk from the consumption of drinking water containing heavy metal cadmium (Cd) indicates that the respondent has no risk or RQ 1 for an exposure duration of 5 – 30 years, while the level of carcinogenic risk indicates that the respondent has an unsafe risk level or ECR > 1/10,000 at an exposure duration of 30-70 years.
Corpus Alienum Esophagus (Denture) with Proximal Esophageal Perforation Complications
Authors: Tandi H. Sarira , Amsyar M. Akil
Published: May 2022

Introduction: The corpus alienum of the esophagus had to be diagnosed quickly and extracted to prevent further complications. The magnitude of complications is dependent on the type and diameter of the corpus alienum as well as the method and duration of the extraction procedure from the time of ingestion. One of the complications of the corpus alienum of the esophagus is esophageal perforation. Appropriate management is needed to make clinical improvement of patients who swallowed the corpus alienum esophagus with complications of esophageal perforation. Case Illustration: A 54-year-old male patient with a history of swallowing dentures for the previous 3 days and complaining of dysphagia when swallowing water or eating solid food. Odynophagia is felt constantly. The patient has been using dentures for 3 years, the patient's dentures consist of 2 front teeth with braces. Vital signs were within normal limits and there were no signs of dehydration. Tactile tenderness is in the anterior cervical region on laryngeal movement, and subcutaneous emphysema is minimal. The results of AP-Lateral chest X-ray, corpus alienum (confirmed dentures) impression on the CV C7 esophagus, and soft tissue swelling with subcutis emphysema. The patient was diagnosed with a corpus alienum esophagus (denture) as high as CV C7. The patient was given antibiotics and anti-inflammatory then performed an esophagoscopy procedure which when entering the esophageal lumen, the corpus alienum (denture) was 17 cm high from the incisors. After post-extraction evaluation, a perforation was found in the length of approximately 4 cm in the proximal tracheal esophagus, then the wound was closed (5 sutures) in the perforation area and a nasogastric tube number 16 was placed. The patient was given antibiotic therapy, anti-pain, anti-inflammatory, PPI, and liquid diet via nasogastric tube. On the 22nd day of post-extraction evaluation, from the clinical and radiological picture, it was found that the perforation had closed tightly. Sutures were removed, a nasogastric tube was removed and the patient was able to eat and drink orally. Conclusion: Esophagoscopy is an appropriate procedure for extracting the corpus alienum (denture) of the esophagus, although it causes complications of perforation due to the large, rigid, and sharp dimensions of the corpus alienum. Esophageal perforation can be treated with the insertion of a nasogastric tube for a liquid diet and with oral antibiotic and PPI therapy.
The Influence of the Earth's Albedo on Low-orbit Satellite Motion
Authors: Izzet Ahmed Kader
Published: May 2022

Using the celestial mechanics program, this study investigates the effects of Albedo perturbations on low earth satellite motion at various inclinations. The results show that the parameter (eccentricity, Arg. of Perjee and mean anomaly) are affected by Albedo disturbance, while the remaining elements are not. The effects in the above elements decrease as the inclination increases for prograde orbits (ⅈ = 50, 300), but they become more impacted as the inclination increases for retrograde orbits (ⅈ = 970, 1560). For LEO satellites, the geocentric, equatorial coordinates (x, y, z) do not vary. The perturbation effects on acceleration in three directions are computed, the results show that the out of the plane acceleration component is the only one that varies.

Published: May 2022

Introductions: The quality of services and patient satisfaction play an important role in increasing patient adherence. Fatmawati hospital is the national tertiary hospital in Indonesia that has a rehabilitation outpatient department as one of its excellent services. The rehabilitation outpatient department deals with patients that have chronic diseases. Many studies reported that patients with chronic disease verge on having less satisfaction and adherence. Meanwhile, patient satisfaction is used to evaluate health providers' quality. Therefore, this research intended to assess the effect of rehabilitation outpatient service quality and patient satisfaction on patient adherence at Fatmawati hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2021 – to February 2022. Two hundred patients were included with a convenient sampling method. SPPS 25 Software was run to analyze the pilot study data, descriptive statistics, and multivariate regression. Results: According to the finding of this study, most patients had a positive experience in terms of service quality and patient satisfaction. As a result, its have a significant and positive effect on patient adherence. The structural equation Y = 7,502+0,211(X1)+0,822(X2) represents if service quality and patient satisfaction are equal to zero or constant, then patient adherence has a value of 7,502 units. If the quality of service were increased by one unit, the other variable equal to zero and constant, the value of patient adherence would increase by 0,211. On the other hand, patient adherence will be increased by 0,822 units when one unit increases patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The results suggest that improving service quality and patient satisfaction is an effective strategy for health providers in improving patient adherence in the rehabilitation outpatient department.

Published: May 2022

Because of the inadequate capacity and a substantial surge of probable COVID-19 cases, several health systems around worldwide have collapsed. As a result, the requirement for a rapid, effective, and precise way to reduce radiologists' workload in diagnosing suspected instances has arisen. The goal of the present study is to develop a novel system to automatically diagnose and classify lung CT scans into three categories: suspected covid-19, covid-19, and healthy lung scans. Before feature extraction using convolutional neural network (CNN) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) approaches, the CT scans are first pre-processed through implementing a set of algorithms. Lastly, with the use of the support vector machine (SVM) model, such features are divided into three groups. The maximum accuracy attained in classifying a dataset of 351 CT scans of the lungs was 98.22%. The outcomes of the experiments show that merging the extracted features increases the effectiveness of lung classification CT scans.

Published: May 2022

Alzheimer’s is a progressive and neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects people aged 65 years and older. The pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s is possibly related to the depletion of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) due to beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Secondary metabolites found in cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum burmannii) have the potential as anticholinesterases to treat Alzheimer’s symptoms. This study aimed to identify the potency of bioactive compounds from cinnamon bark as AChE inhibitors in silico through analysis of binding energy, inhibition constants, and types of interactions. The research was conducted by screening virtually 60 test ligands using the PyRx program and molecular docking using the Autodock Tools program. The results of the ligand-receptor interaction analysis showed that 12 of the 15 tested ligands had potential as AChE inhibitors. Epicatechin and medioresinol are the ligands with the best potential for AChE inhibition with affinity close to the natural ligand or donepezil. Epicatechin has a binding energy of −10.0 kcal/mol and inhibition constant of 0.0459 M, with four hydrogen bonds and seven hydrophobic bonds. Meanwhile, medioresinol has −9.9 kcal/mol binding energy and inhibition constant of 0.0543 M, with one hydrogen bond and thirteen hydrophobic bonds.

etc. at laboratory scale. Then mud samples were investigated for rheological properties at normal temperature and
different mud properties such as mud density, pH, and emulsion stability were determined for all the samples. Further
results of mud samples were evaluated for performance in terms of cutting carrying capacity (CCI) as a hole cleaning
efficiency and rheology was compared with literature and API standards of oil based mud to find out the applicability
of these parameters for drilling activities and their attributes as friendly to the environment. The results showed that
both biodiesel (groundnut 8 soybean) based mud have the highest viscosity which indicates higher lubricity and
suspension of particles during flow as well as it would prevent mud losses. The overall investigation results indicate
that both biodiesel based muds possess a chance for viable alternative environmentally 8 technically, as one of the
solution to environmental problem associated with the conventional diesel oil based during drilling operations. The
study also serves as a potential alternative to diesel based muds.

Proper selection of the implant biomaterial is a prominent factor for the success of implants in dental medicine. The
biologic environment does not accept completely any material so to optimize biologic performance, implants should be
selected to reduce the negative biologic response while maintaining adequate function. Among all the biocompatible
materials (Ti-6Al-4V) have become the choice for dental implants due to their properties such as low specific weight,
high strength to weight ratio, low modulus of elasticity, very high corrosion resistance and excellent general
biocompatibility. Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) is the most widely used titanium alloy. It features good machinability and
excellent mechanical properties when compared to the Pure Titanium. These alloys are widely used in the engineering
field, namely in the aerospace, automotive and biomedical parts, because of their high specific strength and exceptional
corrosion resistance. This paper deals with the present views on material properties, passive oxidation film formation,
corrosion, surface activation, cell interactions, biofilm development, allergy, casting and machining properties of Ti6Al-4V.

Environment pollution is one of the major problems faced by world today. In the field of construction industry mainly, the manufacturing of Portland cement will matter the emission of pollutants results in environmental pollution. To reduce the pollution effect on environment we can use industrial by-products in our construction industry. To produce the geo-polymer concrete the Portland cement is fully replaced with Rice husk ash and the fine aggregate is replaced with quarry dust for the binding of material alkaline liquids are used in this study. Rice husk ash is a by-product from the burning of rice husk at a temperature lower than 6000C.this means that it is in a form that is soft and easy to grind. Rice husk ash is rich in silica about 90%, 5% carbon and 2% K2O. The specific surface of RHA is between 40-100m2/g. The alkaline liquids used in this study Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2Sio3). Different molarities of sodium hydroxide solution i.e. 8M and 10M are taken to prepare different mixes. The cube specimens are taken of size 150mm x 150mm x 150mm and the compressive strength is calculated for each of the mix. The geo-polymer concrete specimens are tested for their compressive strength at the age of 7days, mixes of varying sodium hydroxide molarities i.e. 8M and 10M are prepared and they are cured by direct sun-light and strengths are calculated for 7 day. The finding shows that the strength of Geopolymer concrete is increasing with the increase of the molarity of sodium hydroxide.
An Overview of Feature Extraction Techniques in Content-Based Image Retrieval Systems
Authors: Saxena Priyanka
Published: May 2022

The collection of images has grown rapidly and continues to increase in future due to widespread use of internet.
Content based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system aims at retrieval of images of relevance to the query image input by the
user from an enormous image database by low-level feature (such as color, texture and shape) extraction from the
image. Some common applications of CBIR and existing commercial systems employing CBIR have been highlighted.
General algorithm for explaining the working of CBIR is presented. This article presents a review on methods for low
level feature extraction like extracting color, texture and edge features. CBIR still faces some challenges like
judgement of human perception of visual content, less appropriate selection of similarity measure, semantic gap and
other factors.

Published: May 2022

The most essential function of oil and gas well cement is to provide isolation of zones in a production well. Cement
isolates the wellbore in completion of oil and gas wells, prevents failure of casing, and it also prevents wellbore fluids
so that they cannot be contaminated from fresh water aquifers. In slurry state cement is distinguished by rheological
properties like plastic viscosity and yield stress. Proper selection of cement slurries plays a vital role in well
commenting and that could be possible with the utilization of efficient materials that may results the superior
rheological properties of cement slurry i.e. plastic viscosity, gel and yield strength. The selection of cement has been
done on account of higher values of compressive strengths for which quality of cement sheath will be enhanced.
Cement Slurry design can be optimized by operators for which it is mandatory for operators that they have
knowledge about actual temperature that cement will encounter inside wellbore. Down hole temperatures of
cementing have impact on thickening time, rheology, and compressive strength development. In this research work
Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and Egg Shell Powder (ESP) are used in cement slurry so that compressive strength of cement
specimen can be increased. The cement slurry has been made from locally manufactured cement, water, RHA and
ESP. Cement slurry of 600ml by volume has been prepared. Specimens with size of 2×2×2 inch cubic molds are made
for compressive strength testing at different curing conditions. Three variants of the specimen with varying
concentrations of RHA and ESP are made. In present work during slurry state the rheological properties are
determined while in solid state compressive strength of cement specimen at three curing ages of 08 hours, 24 hours
and 72 hours is determined.
