Nitrate nitrogen (N-NO3-), the most common pollutant in groundwater, is a result of the effect of diffuse sources of pollution like agriculture and animal husbandry intensive. The land use for these economic activities is very common in the Los Ríos sub-region in the state of Tabasco, Mexico, where the Los Ríos and Boca del Cerro aquifers are located. The aim of this research was to assess the concentrations of nitrate-nitrogen (N-NO3-) in groundwater, determine the quality in agreement with the maximum permissible limits established by national and international regulations, and the risks to the public health and aquatic life. The spatial distribution of N-NO3- was determined using the inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation technique. The average nitrate-nitrogen concentration was 0.76 mg.L-1, while the maximum concentration observed was 3.98 mg.L1. This does not exceed the maximum permissible limit (MPL) established in the national and international normativity for drinking water. However, in 50% of the sampling sites, the concentrations of N-NO3- exceed the MPL established in Mexico for the protection of the life of seawater. Relatively low concentrations of N-NO3- have shown to be toxic to certain aquatic organisms, and the aquifers studied discharge a third of the water to the rivers in the area, which flow into the Laguna de Términos Campeche and the Gulf of Mexico. Laguna de Términos Campeche is one of the most diverse and rich environmental systems on earth, where numerous ecosystems converge such as coastal lagoons, wetlands, mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs.

Authors: Chirobocea-Tudor Olivia ,   “Ovidius” University of Constanta, Romania
Published: September 2021

English is a useful and necessary tool for any ESP student and so too horticulture students will need English in their future careers. Therefore, being able to communicate effectively and use the language in their field appropriately will help their business and increase their level of professionalism. This article will explore various techniques for the teaching of specialized horticultural vocabulary, in particular the terminological aspects of viticulture and viniculture which together form an important and widespread branch of horticulture with high degree of internationalization, given the rising popularity of wine and grape growing around the world. While each branch of ESP deals with its own unique features, so too English for horticulture and its subdivision, viticulture, has its own challenges in terms of vocabulary, of the equivalence between L1 and English and of usage. This article will analyze such particularities and explore ways in which various levels of specialized vocabulary can be taught to students in an engaging and effective manner.

Authors: Hall Dawn
Published: September 2021

Preparing students to be critical thinkers and effective communicators is essential in today’s complex health care environment. In addition to sound psychomotor skills, future healthcare providers must possess the ability to communicate confidently and effectively, not only to their patients, but to a wide range of constituents such policymakers and payers, as well as other healthcare professionals. The teaching method of debate will prepare students with such skills. Debates have the ability to reinforce and enhance knowledge in a topic area, to engage students in the learning process, to verify that students have the ability to analyze, incorporate, and apply the literature to various situations, to heighten organization and listening skills, and to boost confidence when challenged on issues by others. The purpose of this paper is to describe the utilization of structured classroom debates as a teaching strategy for critical thinking and enhancing professional communication skills.
A Quantitative Correlational Study on the Impact of Patient Satisfaction on a Rural Hospital
Authors: Ellis-Jacobs Kerry
Published: September 2021

The purpose of the quantitative, ex post facto, correlational research study was to describe a relationship between rural allied health care mean customer satisfaction scores and allied health care departments’ generation of revenue for a hospital. The research method for the study was appropriate because it identified a relationship between two variables: the customer service skills of allied health care practitioners and a hospital’s gross revenue. The study involved analyzing historical patient satisfaction surveys and corresponding hospital revenue statements from a rural hospital in northeastern Oklahoma for a 25-month period. The study revealed a correlation and impact of the allied health care practitioner on hospital survival. Revenue was positively significantly correlated with three of the satisfaction ratings from the Emergency Department. These correlations were for STD tests (r = .41, p < .05), courtesy of the person drawing blood (r = .40, p = .05), and concern of radiology personnel (r = .45, p < .05). None of the correlations between revenue and Inpatient ratings achieved significance. The trend tended to be in the same direction as the Emergency Department ratings, such that all of the correlations were positive with the exception of the Waiting rating (r = -.14, p > .05). The correlation was negative, but was rather small and insignificant.

Authors: Dizon Janine , Grimmer-Somers Karen , Kumar Saravana
Published: September 2021

Background: The use of evidence to guide clinical practice has been challenging for health professionals across the globe. Issues of implementing the evidence become even more challenging among health professionals in developing countries because of cultural and contextual issues which compound the existing implementation barriers reported in the literature. An evidence based practice (EBP) training was developed for physiotherapists in a developing country (the Philippines) based on the literature and preliminary exploratory studies. The training program aimed to address issues of barriers to EBP and the nature of practice in a developing country. This study reports the process and findings of pilot testing the training program (EBP for FilPTs). Objectives: The objectives of the pilot study were to, 1) Estimate the effect size of the EBP training program in enhancing knowledge and skills in EBP, 2) Determine the sample size for a subsequent RCT, 3) Test the acceptability of the EBP training program, and, 4) Refine the components of the intervention (training program) as needed. Methods: Seven physiotherapists purposively sampled from one training institution which does not provide training on evidence-based practice were randomly allocated to the intervention (EBP for FilPTs) and the waitlist control groups. Pre-post intervention measures of knowledge and skills associated with EBP were assessed using the Adapted Fresno test. Participants and observers completed an evaluation summary and commented on the program Results and Conclusion: The EBP training program resulted in significant and large improvement (Effect Size = 0.8) in knowledge and skills. It was considered by participants to be an effective, acceptable, and practical medium to teach EBP to physiotherapists.

Authors: YAŞAR Mehmet Diyaddin
Published: September 2021

Amaç: Bu araştırmada, fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının örneklem ve evren kavramlarına yönelik metaforik algıları ve kavramsal anlamalarının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem/Tasarım: Bu araştırmada, nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgu bilim araştırması kullanılmıştır. Araştırma grubu, uygun örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiş olan 42 fen bilgisi öğretmen adayından oluşmuştur. Metafor formu ve iki açık uçlu sorudan oluşan form veri toplama araçları olarak çalışmada kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur.
Bulgular: Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının örneklem ve evren kavramlarına yönelik metaforlarının çeşitlilik arz ettiği görülmüştür. Örneklem kavramına yönelik metaforlar içerisinde öğrenci ve sınıf; evren kavramına yönelik ise okul ve dünya metaforları ön plana çıkmıştır. Öğretmen adayları, örneklem kavramına yönelik geliştirdikleri metaforlar için öne sundukları gerekçelerinde sınırlı/küçük parça ya da grup (f=21) ve evren kavramına yönelik öne sundukları gerekçelerinde ise büyük grup (f=34) kategorilerini en çok vurgulamışlardır. Araştırma bulgularına göre öğretmen adayları, örneklem kavramını % 30.95 oranında (f=13) tam ve doğru; büyük çoğunluğunun (f=27; % 64.29) kısmen kavradığı ve çok az bir kesiminin ise (f=2 % 4.76) yanlış kavradığı; evren kavramını ise % 21.43 (f=9)’u tam kavradığı, büyük çoğunluğu % 73.81 (f=31)’u kısmen kavradığı ve % 4.76 (f=2)’si ise yanlış kavradığı tespit edilmiştir.
Özgünlük: Bu araştırmada örneklem ve evren kavramları üzerine odaklanılmıştır. İki kavram bir biri ile yakından ilişkili ve araştırma sonuçlarının yorumlanmasında önemli olduğundan birlikte ele alınmasının daha uygun olduğu kanaatine varılmıştır. İlgili literatür incelendiğinde fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının örneklem ve evren kavramlarına yönelik zihinsel yapılarını, kavramsal anlamalarını ve metaforlarını belirlemeye dair yapılan çalışmaların olmadığı görülmektedir. Bu araştırma ile literatürdeki bu boşluk bir nebze de olsa giderilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Authors: Grigoryan Karine R. , Shilajyan Hasmik A. , Aleksanyan Iskuhi L. , Grigoryan Zara L. , Hambardzumyan Lilit P.
Published: September 2021

Fluorescence properties of 4-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline (1) and 2-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-6-methylquinoline-4-ol (2) were studied in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) aqueous solutions. The fluorescence properties of 1 and 2 exhibit substantial dependence on the DMSO concentration. The fluorescence quantum yield $(\Phi_f)$ of 1 decreases upon adding DMSO due to the shift in the keto-enol (E) tautomeric equilibrium toward E form․ On the contrary 2 demonstrates a tendency of increase of $\Phi_f$ upon adding DMSO due to intermolecular charge transfer from DMSO to the aromatic ring of quinoline, which increases the electron density on the ring and hence the fluorescence efficiency.
STUDY OF INTERACTION OF HOECHST 33258 WITH DNA AND HUMAN SERUM ALBUMIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MILLIMETER RANGE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
Authors: Vardevanyan Poghos H. , Shahinyan Mariam A. , Vardanyan Anna V. , Grigoryan Svetlana V.
Published: September 2021

In this work the effect of millimeter range electromagnetic waves (MM EMW) with the frequency 64.5 GHz on the complexes of Hoechst 33258 (H33258) with DNA and human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied by the methods of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. It was shown that the irradiation results in weakening of H33258 interaction with both macromolecules, which is connected with the fact that the frequency 64.5 GHz, being resonant for water, leads to the structurizing of water component around DNA and HSA, due to which the binding becomes weaker. This conclusion is based on the values of both binding constants and Stern–Volmer constants.

World demand for paper is increasing. Short rotation pulpwood is needed. Sesbania grandiflora also known as Turi, is a fast growing and straight log species. The scholarly information of Turi as pulpwood are still limited. This paper aims to provide information of sodium hydroxide effect on the paper made from pulp derived from Turi. Sodium hydroxide is a common chemical using as part of full stage chemical bleaching in pulp industrial. Kraft pulp that produced using Turi, was bleached with sodium hydroxide at 3%, 6% and 9% based on pulp weight, respectively. Unbleached pulp was served as blank test. The optical and mechanical properties of handsheet paper made from bleached kraft pulp were evaluated according to TAPPI standard. The brightness and opacity of handsheet made from bleached pulp were improved with increasing the concentration of sodium hydroxide. The mechanical properties of handsheet were improved with using 3% sodium hydroxide and gradually decreased after 3% sodium hydroxide. In conclusion, sodium hydroxide is potential to improve optical properties of Turi pulp and improve the mechanical properties of paper made from Turi pulp at certain level. Excessive usage of sodium hydroxide brings adverse effect to mechanical properties of paper made from Turi pulp.
Notes: ‘Observations’ on the State Capture judgment
Authors: Tsele Michael
Published: September 2021

This note concerns a controversial issue that has, surprisingly, received limited academic interrogation: whether the Public Protector has the power to instruct the President of South Africa to appoint a commission of inquiry. In this respect, I critique a high court decision which answered the question in the affirmative. I contend that the judgment contradicts prior case law, including Constitutional Court precedent. Thus, I argue that the court misconstrued the law on the President’s powers, particularly when it concluded that those powers are not purely discretionary but entail ‘responsibilities’ which are ‘coupled with a duty’. This reasoning led the court to conclude that the President thus has a constitutional ‘obligation’ to appoint a commission. In summary, I take issue with the court’s conclusion that the Public Protector has the power to instruct the President to appoint a commission of inquiry. I conclude that the decision caused uncertainty on the limitations of the Public Protector’s powers. I further say it is questionable whether the commission, better known as the ‘State Capture’ commission, was established lawfully.

The nature and features of ‘unused old order rights’ under the MPRDA revisited: The story of Gouws’ farm
Authors: Badenhorst Pieter
Published: September 2021

This article examines the nature and features of ‘unused old order rights’ (‘UOORs’) under item 8 of Schedule II of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 in light of the recent decision by the Constitutional Court in Magnificent Mile Trading 30 (Pty) Ltd v Celliers 2020 (4) SA 375 (CC). At issue was: (a) whether an UOOR was transmissible to heirs upon the death of its holder; and (b) the applicability of the Oudekraal principle to the award of an unlawful prospecting right to an applicant, contrary to the rights enjoyed by the holder of an UOOR. The article analyses the constituent elements of an UOOR, rights ancillary to the UOOR’s and the nature and features of UOORs and ancillary rights. The article also considers the possible loss of an UOOR by application of the Oudekraal principle due to the unlawful grant of a prospecting right by the state, as custodian of mineral resources. The article illustrates that the CC ensured in Magnificent Mile that the Oudekraal principle does not undermine the security of tenure and statutory priority afforded to holders of UOORs by ultra vires grants of inconsistent rights to opportunistic applicants. Concern is also expressed about the poor administration of mineral resources by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy.
Nanotechnology and Nanoparticles in Contemporary Sciences

Published: September 2021

Nonotechanology has been a rapidly growing field of advanced science at the inception of this century. Many problematic endeavours in sciences have been successfully overcome using nanoparticles. For example, a low risk solution using antibody modified bismuth nanoparticle, in combination with an X-ray dose equivalent to a chest X-ray specifically, has been shown to kill the common bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a set up designed to resemble a deep wound in human tissue. Nanosized gold particle could catalyse the oxidation of carbon monoxide better than anything previously known. Heparin functionalized nanoparticles have been use for targeted delivery of anti-malarial drugs. Heparin is abundant and cheap compared to treatments that involve antibodies, an important consideration, since malaria is most common in developing countries. A bone repairing nano-particle paste has been developed that promises faster repair of fractures and breakages. DNA containing two growth genes is encapsulated inside synthetic calcium phosphate nanoparticles. In a remarkable demonstration of the extreme limits of nanoscale engineering, researchers have used the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope to cleave and form selected chemical bonds in a complex molecule. Many medicinal and industrial endeavours have seen the use of Nanotechnology. These and other more recent advances in nanotechnology will be presented at this conference

Steganography is the science of embedding secret data inside data so they can be sent to destination security. Encryption algorithms used to save information from sly activities when sent from one device to another over the wireless network. In this paper McEliece will be used to text encryption by Goppa code, where McEliece cryptosystem is a public-key cryptosystem based on error-correcting codes; then embedding the ciphertext as steganography image by MSB method. This lead to save information from attackers.

Authors: BAYRAM Hassan M. , MUBDIR Bilal A.
Published: September 2021

Testing and validating modern hardware such as some subsystems in modern vehicles is a little challenging especially before assembling them into the final product. To achieve a valid real-time test, the tested hardware or unit must be placed into its real-time environment which is not possible in some cases. Recently, and with the presence of advanced simulation software applications, the hardware environment could be simulated easily to fulfill the real-time test properly. Simulating an environment in one loop with real physical hardware knowing as Hardware-in-the-loop is used nowadays in various development fields, medical, industrial, research, and education. Amongst the aforementioned, HIL is widely used in control systems applications. In the paper, building a framework to enable hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation with the aid of MATLAB/Simulink is discussed. Over serial communication, and inexpensive data acquisition (DAQ) peripheral has been developed using a microcontroller unit. the development of the framework is discussed to be used as a guide for building it by using any microcontroller. The resultant performance appeal to excellent real-time response with quite a small delay of about 70ms in the worst case.

In this work ,cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films deposited on glass substrates using Nd-YAG laser wavelength (1064 nm) laser-induced plasma deposition technique (PLD). The structural, morphology and optical properties of these films have been described as a change in the effect of laser pulse energy ( ). The X-ray diffraction results show that s all samples were polycrystalline hexagonal structure and the crystalline size ghange with increasing of the laser energy. The optical properties results show that the transmittance of all deposited thin films decreases with increasing of laser pulse energy .As a result of the microscopic examination of the surface, it was found that the surface is uniform and the granular size increases with the increase of the laser power.
O PACTO AMBÍGUO DA AUTOFICÇÃO COMO ATO INTENCIONAL E DURATIVO
Authors: Silva Edson Ribeiro
Published: September 2021

O presente estudo focaliza o conceito de pacto de leitura, ou contrato, em sua aplicação à autoficção. O pacto ambíguo, de Alberca, que agrupa de modo eficiente as noções de pacto autobiográfico e romanesco, de Lejeune, quando atreladas a uma mesma modalidade de narrativa, pode ser visto a partir do pacto que o autor faz com seu leitor-ideal, conforme Iser. Tais concepções de pacto encontram um respaldo linguístico nas noções de ficção de Searle, que enxerga nela uma suspensão de convenções do discurso que tenciona ser apreendida como narrativa do real. Percebe-se, no entanto, que as concepções de pacto de leitura ora atentam para a configuração da obra como gênero e fazem com que aquele repouse sobre o paratexto, ora atentam para o conteúdo dela e fazem com que ele ocorra no decorrer da leitura. Conclui-se, aqui, que o pacto ambíguo necessita do paratexto, do gênero, para ser estabelecido como ficção, mas a natureza autobiográfica só pode ser percebida através da duração da leitura, ou seja, os dois planos de leitura fixados por Iser constituem uma forma mais segura de compreensão desse pacto, que é forma convencionada de jogo.
LITERATURA E HISTÓRIA: MULHERES NEGRAS BRASILEIRAS NOS CORDÉIS DE JARID ARRAES
Authors: Alves Henrique Roriz Aarestrup , Fronza Clarisse Odete Faccio
Published: September 2021

Este artigo propõe destacar mulheres negras apresentadas como heroínas em literatura de cordel de Jarid Arraes (2017), revisando aspectos relacionados à condição da mulher escrava no Brasil,  para dar visibilidade à sua participação na luta pela liberdade dos escravos, considerando que, historicamente, foram tratados como objeto/mercadoria e  tiveram suas ações suprimidas na história, referido por Chalhoub e Silva (2009) como o paradigma da ausência do negro nos registros oficiais, sobretudo no que tange à participação da mulher nesse processo. Para tal, o livro Heroínas Negras Brasileiras em 15 cordéis, de Jarid Arraes (2017) foi definido como o corpus, justificado pela relevância da temática que apresenta, também por ser produzido em cordel, um gênero literário que, semelhante ao tratamento oficial dado ao protagonismo dessas mulheres, por muito tempo, teve seu valor colocado à margem do que se considerou Literatura; e, ainda, porque tem, como autora, uma mulher negra: elementos que dialogam entre si. A análise da obra possibilita, entre outras, as seguintes conclusões: a mulher negra instruída acerca de sua ancestralidade tem aumentadas suas possibilidades de emancipação e empoderamento, apesar das desigualdades de gênero e raça que persistem; o papel significativo que jovens escritoras negras desempenham na propagação do legado dessas heroínas, abalando, assim, o paradigma da ausência da mulher negra na história oficial da escravidão brasileira.
LÍRICA DE GONZAGUINHA: A MEMÓRIA E OS SÍMBOLOS “HOMEM” E “MENINO”
Authors: Da Silva John David Peliceri
Published: September 2021

Neste artigo analisamos os símbolos do “homem” e do “menino” no projeto de construção estética que, pela memória histórica, o cantor Gonzaguinha utilizou nas canções “Comportamento geral” (1973), “Tá certo, doutor” (1975), “De volta ao começo” (1980), “Redescobrir” (1981) e “Nunca pare de sonhar” (1984). A construção estética se deu pela apelação ao símbolo não aberto, como viés para a consagração do evangelismo do ideal socialista, ofertado aos brasileiros, durante o contexto histórico e social da Ditadura Militar Brasileira (1964 a 1985). Assim, a fruição das identidades, pela memória, careceu que se leve em consideração a presença do grotesco e o belo na linguagem poética, pois objetivou plasmar a expressão da crítica da realidade brasileira e a pregação do ideal onírico. Desse modo, o símbolo “homem grotesco” foi agressivo e denunciou as barbáries dos Anos de Chumbo (1968 a 1974), já o símbolo “menino belo” expressou o ideal socialista e perfez o amanhã do futuro brasileiro.

Published: September 2021

The project is an electronic notice board that is controlled by an android device and displays message on it. Traditionally, there were notice boards where any information or notice had to be stick daily. This becomes tedious and requires daily maintenance. The project overcomes this problem by introducing an electronic display notice board interfaced to an android device through Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth receives the message from the android device that is sent to an Arduino. Notice board is a primary thing in any institution/organization or public utility places like bus stations, railway stations and parks. But sticking various notices day-to-day is a difficult process. The Notice board is a common display for effective mode of providing information to the people, but this is not easy for updating the messages instantly. This project deals about an advanced Hi-Tech wireless Notice Board. This system is enhanced to display the latest information through an Android application of smart phones or tablet.

Introduction

Follicular and serum vitamin D are considered potential markers of the oocyte and embryos' quality and predictors of IVF outcomes.

Material and methods

This retrospective cross-sectional study correlated vitamin D in sera and follicular fluid of women with unexplained infertility mutually and with IVF outcomes. ELISA was used for measuring Vitamin D.

Results

Results show only a positive correlation between follicular and serum levels of Vitamin D (Rho=0.615, p=0.025) and between follicular levels of Vitamin D with the percentage of embryo fragmentation (Rho=0.544; p=0.036).

Conclusions

Results suggests that serum and follicular fluid vitamin D measurements could be complementary tools to the routine assessment of embryos.
