Published: June 2024

The rise of coal mining in the East Kalimantan area which is close to public road access is thought to affect the quality and sustainability of surrounding public road access. The aim of this research is to determine the use of remote sensing data to analyze land subsidence or deformation that occurs on the connecting road between Sanga-Sanga Dalam Village and Pendingin Village, Sanga-Sanga District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive, namely determining ground deformation on roads obtained by analyzing Sentinel-1 imagery in 2015 and Sentinel-1 imagery in 2021. Ground deformation can be identified using a satellite-based remote sensing method through interferometry of two SAR images (interferometry synthetic aperture radar or InSAR) uses the Sentinel application platform (SNAP) which is an open source software (FOSS) application. Interferometry can represent changes in the line of sight between the ground and satellites in general. Changes in line of sight can be interpreted as signals of ground deformation. The results of this research can provide adequate information regarding comparative data on land elevation on the Sanga-Sanga Dalam - Pendingin road from several points experiencing land subsidence or deformation on average of 161.3 cm with an average land subsidence rate of 23.04 cm/year . Thus, remote sensing technology using the InSAR technique can be used to determine changes that occur in a short time and at low cost.

El territorio como tecnología política de clase: geografías legales de la pandemia en Madrid
Authors: González García Sergio Claudo , Limón López Pedro
Published: June 2024

En las últimas dos décadas, se han producido múltiples procesos de renovación urbana que han dado lugar a nuevas formas de espacialidad y territorialidad en la ciudad, especialmente a partir de la consolidación de las políticas de seguridad global surgidas tras el 11S y reforzadas durante más de veinte años, dando lugar a múltiples formas de segregación y fragmentación urbana. En Madrid, dichas dinámicas se reforzaron más si cabe tras la proclamación del estado de alarma con motivo de la pandemia global declarada a causa de la COVID-19 en marzo de 2020 y, especialmente, tras la aplicación por parte del gobierno regional de cierres en las denominadas Zonas Básicas de Salud (ZBS). A partir de la metodología de la Geografía Legal, este trabajo examina las regulaciones aplicadas como desarrollo de dichas ZBS entre septiembre de 2020 y mayo de 2021, a través de un estudio que compara los mecanismos de restricción territorial impuestos a través de dicha normativa y los indicadores epidemiológicos publicados. En último término, el análisis se cuestiona acerca de los vínculos entre las Zonas Básicas de Salud y las dinámicas securitarias desarrolladas en Madrid en relación a una estructura urbana fragmentada y basada en la desigualdad de clase social.

Authors: Sultan Haseena , Ali Tajwar , Ali Tahira
Published: June 2024

Middle East is the native land of world’s well-known creeds and different faiths ruled the Arabian Peninsula in the ancient and modern history. Islam was born in the Middle East in the 6th century and soon it became the religious conviction of majority in the region. This study investigates the complex dynamics of sectarianism within Islam in the Middle East, analysing how these differences contribute to the cultural and intellectual diversity within the Muslim world. This study conducts a thorough examination of historical circumstances, socio-political influences, and religious beliefs to explore the beginnings and development of sectarian differences. It specifically examines how these divisions have affected regional stability, the construction of identity, and geopolitical interactions. The research explores the intricate nature of Sunni-Shia disputes and the rise of other sects, revealing the interplay between religious diversity and socioeconomic dynamics in the area. Ultimately, it asserts that comprehending these sectarian divisions is essential for cultivating mutual understanding and advancing peace within the diverse fabric of Islamic culture. There are more than 15 different sub sects in the Middle East and each camp plays a vital role in the politics of Middle East. Sectarian politics is an indispensable phenomenon in the Middle East.
Pandémia COVID-19 a jej dopad na religiozitu v podmienkach Akadémie ozbrojených síl gen. M. R. Štefánika - komparácia záujmu o duchovné aktivity pred a po skúsenosti s pandémiou

Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus was an unprecedented experience for the whole world, which caught us unprepared not only from a medical, infectious or virological point of view, but even more so from a psychological, social and spiritual point of view. The pandemic meant a fundamental paradigm shift in religious life as well. Religiosity was limited to a personal and private level during the prohibition of religious services. Catholic priests celebrated Holy Mass in the online space, which, despite all the accompanying negatives, became a new form of apostolate and catechesis. In general, it is predicted that interest in religious services has decreased after the pandemic. The goal of this study is to investigate the issue of post-pandemic religiosity and the subsequent comparison of pre-pandemic, pandemic and post-pandemic religiosity at the Academy of the Armed Forces of General M.R. Štefánik. The general opinion of religionists and pastoral theologians and forecasts after the pandemic are quite pessimistic. The answer to the question of whether post-pandemic religiosity is lower than its pre-pandemic form, is therefore key. Based on the achieved results, we conclude that the post-pandemic religiosity of the Catholic tradition in the AOS is somewhat lower than in the pre-pandemic period. This is proven by the statistical data obtained by comparing individual months in the years 2018 – 2024. However, the differences in the achieved pre-pandemic and post-pandemic months and years are not significant; on the contrary: the number of participants in religious services increases every post-pandemic year, and it can be predicted that already in 2024 the statistical averages will equal those of 2019 or even slightly surpass them.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a multitude of potential drugs have
emerged, among them molnupiravir (MK-4482 and EIDD-2801), an innovative oral antiviral
designed to combat COVID-19. Currently undergoing final clinical trials, molnupiravir
has displayed encouraging results in boosting the replication process of viral RNA
mutations in both animal and human subjects. With the urgent demand for its production,
it became an urgent need for the society to establish an efficient and feasible
synthetic pathway from basic materials. This research delves into the molecular docking
analysis of molnupiravir, shedding light on its mechanism of action (MOA) while
outlining the most recent synthetic processes. Such insights are poised to benefit
various disciplines, including medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and
pharmacology. Marketed under the brand name Lagevrio, molnupiravir stands out as a
simple yet potent orally active antiviral medication. Initially developed for treating
influenza, its application has expanded to combat severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has an exceptional potency as the first oral,
direct-acting antiviral medication against SARS-CoV-2. This review explores different
synthetic strategies/routes employed in the synthesis of molnupiravir, with the aim of
facilitating the development of novel routes for its further enhancement.

            Botany, Govt. Degree College, Dharmanagar, Tripura(N) –799253, India., Laskar Folguni
Published: June 2024

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are helpful bacteria residing in the
rhizosphere (root zone) of plants. The PGPR also refers to free-living soil bacteria
that are favourable to plant development and can colonize plant roots. This book chapter
explores the prospects of PGPR in promoting plant growth and development. It highlights
how PGPR employ several mechanisms, for example, N2-fixation, nutrient solubilization,
phytohormone production, and induced systemic resistance, to enhance plant health and
yield. The increasing demand for eco-friendly agricultural practices positions PGPR as
an auspicious substitute for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Finally, current
challenges and future directions in exploring the full potential of PGPR for sustainable
agriculture are discussed, emphasizing the need for further research and technological
innovations to optimize their efficacy and application strategies.

Authors:   Department of Economics, Chakdaha
            College, Nadia, West Bengal, India., Mandal Nikhil Kumar
Published: June 2024

Women play a vital role in the fabric of society globally, and their active
involvement in development programs is essential for fostering a healthy and progressive
environment, particularly in developing nations like India. However, historically,
women’s potential has been overlooked, leading to systemic neglect across various
dimensions, including economic, socio-cultural, familial, legal, political, and
psychological realms. As a result, women often lag behind men, facing deprivation and
barriers to accessing resources and opportunities. Hence, the discussion on women’s
empowerment through financial inclusion in India is crucial within the academic sphere.
This paper seeks to investigate the impact of microfinance programs facilitated by
Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in collaboration with banks on poverty alleviation in India
since 2006. Specifically, it focuses on the economic empowerment of women over the past
thirteen years and their pivotal role in mitigating poverty through microfinance
initiatives in the country. Drawing on a range of secondary sources, including reputable
data, the study underscores the positive correlation between increased participation in
microfinance programs and women’s empowerment. Economic empowerment through microfinance
not only enhances women’s decision-making power but also amplifies their influence in
critical areas such as education, healthcare, and family welfare. Beyond individual
empowerment, women’s active engagement in microfinance initiatives catalyses broader
societal progress, thereby contributing significantly to the socioeconomic development
of India.In conclusion, economic empowerment through microfinance emerges as a powerful
mechanism for enhancing women’s agency and fostering societal advancement, ultimately
paving the way for inclusive and sustainable development across India.

Development might be achieved by different ways and processes, but there is not
any substitute for development for any program and initiative in a public or private
sector organization. In the same way, the overall development of the state is not only
limited to finance, allocation, distribution and infrastructure etc., where the
development of human resources and sustainable development are the primary requirements
for ensuring inclusive development of the state. Uplift of the people of all sections of
society will never succeed until the challenges and issues with feasible allocation of
resources among all the sections of society are removed. Further, the positive planning
& decision-making of all the development works, proactive execution of all the
related policies can only accelerate the development, where transparency and required
administrative reforms in all the wings of the government can only ensure the
development of the state.
The Evolution of Tribal Communities in Post Independence India
Authors:   Research Scholar, Department of
            Philosophy, Tripura University., Gupta Debajyoti
Published: June 2024

Since its independence, India has actively focused on addressing the challenges
faced by its scheduled tribes, making significant strides towards their resolution.
Unlike the British colonial regime, which largely limited its interaction with these
communities to discussion without action, often isolating tribal peoples to keep them
apart from ‘civilized’ society under the guise of protection through indirect
governance, post-independence India has taken a markedly different approach. The British
period is noted for keeping tribal communities segregated from the broader societal
developments, effectively sidelining them from the nation’s evolving narrative. In
contrast, the period following independence has seen a concerted effort by both the
Central and State Governments to enhance the socio-economic status of tribal populations
and to ensure the preservation of their constitutional rights. This has been part of a
broader policy aimed at integrating tribal communities into the national mainstream,
fostering a harmonious adjustment between tribal and non-tribal populations. Such a
policy of integration, or progressive acculturation, seeks not only to safeguard tribal
interests and heritage but also to involve these communities actively in the national
development process. The government’s initiatives in this direction have laid a solid
foundation for the tribes’ seamless progression towards a future marked by inclusive
growth and equal opportunity.

Tourism Development and Nature Conservation: An Austrian Interplay
Authors: Scharf Katharina
Published: June 2024

The article addresses the complex interplay between tourism development, nature conservation or environmental protection, and Austrian identities. Austria’s natural landscapes have been construed as a national symbol of identity since the time of the Habsburg monarchy, so the protection of these landscapes was considered essential. At the same time, intensive tourism development was pursued, and the tension between nature conservation and tourism became crucial as they appeared as collaborators and opponents. Especially after World War II, during the period of reconstruction and with funds from the European Recovery Program (ERP / Marshall Plan), Austria’s natural landscapes were elevated to the status of a national symbol of a supposedly restored and peaceful world. The highly controversial issue of land use, technical development, and conservation (especially of the Alpine world) has shaped Austria culturally and materially from the beginnings of tourism and continues to do so today. This article examines the issues, highlighting the role of state and private, collective and individual actors, cultural transfers from the USA, public discourses, and changes implemented on the ground. A central source are discourse-shaping elements from popular cultures, such as films and tourism advertising.

The global dairy industry faces challenges in sourcing cost-effective and suitable lactic starters for traditional cheese production. This study investigates the use of locally selected lactic starters in crafting Algerian Jben cheese, aiming to provide a sustainable alternative to imported starters. Local lactic starters comprising Lactococcus lactis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and Enterococcus durans were characterized by their technological properties when applied to cow's milk. The resulting cheese was compared with another cheese produced under similar conditions but using an industrial mesophilic starter, including strains of Lactococcus and Leuconostoc. Physicochemical and microbiological analyses were conducted on both cheeses, followed by sensory evaluations using the triangular and classification tests. Microbiological analyses revealed the absence of pathogenic germs or spores in both types of cheese. However, the cheese made with the industrial starter exceeded the standards for fecal coliforms and total coliforms. Titratable acidity measurements indicated comparable levels in both cheeses. Interestingly, there were no discernible differences in taste or aroma between the two types, with both being well received by tasters. In conclusion, our findings suggest that local lactic starters have the potential to replace the commercial starters currently employed in the Algerian dairy industry.

Carbon-based nanomaterials with a particle size of less than 10 nm are known as carbon dots (CDs). It is well recognized that these nanoparticles have a wide range of applications in the field of innovative drug delivery for conditions including cancer, infectious diseases, ocular illnesses, and brain disorders. CDs possess biocompatibility, eco-friendliness, ease of synthesis, and reduced cytotoxicity. Additionally, they exhibit exceptional chemical inertness, rendering them highly suitable as nanocarrier systems for the potential delivery of multi-functional drugs. Currently, a large number of researchers worldwide are studying CD-based drug delivery systems to evaluate their efficacy and versatility in the pharmaceutical industry. As a result, our understanding of the physicochemical properties, diagnostic potential, and drug delivery features of CDs has significantly advanced. The design and development of a theranostic system based on CDs for the treatment of numerous illnesses has been spurred by this progress. The subject of nanotechnology has advanced significantly in recent years, especially in the fields of dentistry and medicine. The application of nanotechnology in the field of periodontics is known as nano periodontics. Nanoscale materials are superior to typical materials in terms of their qualities and performance, which makes them very useful in many different disciplines such as medication administration, therapy, diagnosis, prevention, and dental implant coatings. Our goal in writing this paper is to provide an overview of the prospective uses of CDs in the future for several applications related to oral and periodontal health, particularly as a drug delivery system using nanocarriers.
PROCOPİUS, TOROSLARIN KUZEYİNDE ROMA SAVUNMASI VE YENİ CİTHARİZON KALESİ

Published: June 2024

Bu makale kendi ifadesiyle Geç Antikçağ ve Erken Ortaçağ dönemlerinin uluslararası ilişkiler tarihçisi olan, Roma/Bizans tarihi uzmanı J.D. Howard-Johnston tarafından kaleme alınmıştır. Özgün adı Procopius, Roman Defences North of the Taurus and the New Fortress of Citharizon’dur. Procopius, Torosların Kuzeyinde Roma Savunması ve Yeni Citharizon Kalesi ismiyle İngilizce aslına sadık kalarak Türkçe’ye çevirdik. Yazar makalesinde Citharizon’nun yerini tespit ederek, Roma’nın bölgedeki sınır savunma sistemi içerisindeki rolünü ele almıştır. Günümüzde Bingöl merkeze bağlı İncesu Köyü (Derenazik) sınırları içerisinde bulunan Citharizon, Karadeniz’den Mezopotamya sınırına kadar uzanan hatta, dönemin iki süper gücü Roma İmparatorluğu ile Persler (Sassaniler) arasındaki mücadele arenasının merkezinde yer almaktadır. Howard-Johnston’un da vurguladığı üzere Citharizon, söz konusu güçlerin kuzey-güney yönlü sınırları istikâmetinde devam eden askerî yol ile Murat Nehri vadisi boyunca uzanan doğu-batı güzergâhının kesiştiği Bingöl ovasına hâkim bir konumdaydı.

Soil Washing Methods for Effective Removal of Heavy Metal Contaminants
Authors: Chiu Jian Chong , Gani Paran
Published: June 2024

Soil pollution caused by heavy metals from anthropogenic activities poses a significant environmental and health threat globally. Traditional remediation methods like solidification/stabilization have limitations, prompting the need for alternative techniques. Soil washing emerges as a promising approach, employing physical and chemical methods to effectively remove contaminants. This paper explores soil washing methods, focusing on sites contaminated with heavy metals such as zinc, lead, nickel, mercury, arsenic, copper, chromium, and cadmium, particularly influenced by military and industrial activities. Several techniques, including physical separation and chemical extraction, are discussed, which consider a few factors such as magnetism, density, size, and hydrophobicity to concentrate metal contaminants and solubilize soils. Physical separation targets particulate contaminants, while chemical extraction addresses non-detrital metals or soils with adsorbed ionic forms. The study also analyses field applications of soil washing systems and the implementation of remediation techniques. It emphasizes the need for innovative soil remediation strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of heavy metal contamination on soil quality and human health.

Revistas espurias: un problema en la comunicación científica
Authors: Pérez de Hernández Aracely
Published: June 2024

La comunicación científica es un pilar fundamental en su avance y en la generación de conocimiento, especialmente porque el aumento de la publicación científica en línea ha tenido un impacto significativo en la forma de compartir los resultados de la investigación, y, justamente en este proceso, las revistas académicas desempeñan un papel crucial, ya que sirven como vehículos para la difusión de investigaciones y descubrimientos. Sin embargo, en el mundo de la publicación académica ha surgido un tema controvertido y preocupante: las revistas espurias. Estas publicaciones, que han proliferado en el ámbito académico, carecen de estándares éticos y científicos por su falta de rigor y calidad, lo que pone en riesgo la calidad de la investigación; carecen de integridad científica debido a que buscan explotar a investigadores y académicos desinformados; engañan a los autores con promesas de revisión por pares acelerada y publicación de calidad, por lo que es necesario identificarlas, conocer cómo funcionan y el impacto que tienen en la investigación, y sobre todo asumir el reto de evitar que avancen.

Introdução: A utilização de plantas medicinais pela população como forma de tratamento e prevenção de doenças é uma prática antiga que ainda é amplamente praticada nos dias de hoje, principalmente em países em desenvolvimento. Essas plantas são utilizadas por serem facilmente encontradas e possuírem baixo custo, além da crença de que são menos prejudiciais para a saúde quando comparadas aos medicamentos sintéticos. Assim sendo, mediante a probabilidade da presença, de substâncias toxicas ao ser humano nos produtos de origem vegetal, surge a necessidade da realização de testes de segurança, para verificar a presença de atividades citotóxicas genotóxicos e mutagênicos através das manifestações de inibição e divisão celular, índices como mitóticos e replicação são evidências de proliferação inadequada das células, sendo possível de se identificar por sistema teste vegetal Allium cep. Objetivo: avaliar a atividade mutagênica, genotóxico e citotóxico do extrato etanólico foliar de Turnera subulata Smith, 1817 frente células meristemáticas de Allium cepa. Metodologia: A pesquisa é do tipo experimental analítica prospectiva, de modo a contribuir no desenvolvimento de um novo produto usando o extrato etanólico de Turnera subulata. Resultados e Discussão: Os resultados demonstraram crescimento médio menor que o grupo CN nas concentrações testadas e os índices mitóticos foram numericamente maiores que CN, com maior índice mitótico na maior concentração. As aberrações cromossômicas mais frequentes foram do tipo pontes, porém, o número total apresenta-se normal, variando de 3 a 18. Apesar da tendência de aumento nas aberrações, elas não apresentaram significância estatística. Conclusão: As diferentes concentrações extrato analisado apresentaram ausência ou baixo potencial mutagênico e genotóxico, contudo, evidenciou-se uma atividade citotóxica significativa.

Dermal exposure – an important aspect of safety in working with nanomaterials Taking into account dermal exposure is an important aspect in ensuring safe working conditions with nanomaterials. Quantum dots and nanomaterials with a larger particle size, metallic or with a metallic component, have the highest probability of absorption through the skin. A crucial factor in the process of absorption of nanomaterials through the skin is the disruption of its protective function, which may result in an increased risk of penetration and permeation of nanomaterials into the dermis and the human bloodstream. Keywords: nanoparticles, nanomaterials, skin absorption, skin exposure
