THE VALUE OF PATRIOTISM AND POLITICAL ASPIRATION IN THE FORMATION OF NATIONHOOD: AN APPRECIATION OF MALAYSIAN INDEPENDENCE HISTORY
Authors: Othman Irma Wani , Mohd Radzi Mohamad Shaukhi , Esa Mohd Sohaimi
Published: October 2022

The discussion in this paper focuses on the appreciation of Malaysia's independence in relation to the spirit of patriotism among those who value patriotism and political aspirations in the formation of the Malaysian nation. This study attempts to address issues such as why are there still people who do not understand or remember historical figures' struggles for independence? How do political aspirations play an important role in looking at aspects of prosperity, unity and political stability? In terms the agreement of independence, how important is it to sacrifice self-interest for national interest in order to form a free country? Thus, the primary focus of the debate is to identify the issues referring to political aspirations that can change over time in terms of strategy, but not in terms of the fundamental value of patriotism that does not change from the social contract or ethnic agreement in the formation of the Malaysian nation. This writing employs a qualitative approach that draws on secondary sources such as research findings in journals, scholarly writing, online news sources, and public forums. According to the findings of the study, the formation of political aspirations benefitting in balancing the formation of the country from other aspects and encourage leaders in solving problems related to the country and the people. As a result, the ultimate goal of a cultured society should be national pride and sovereignty. To do so, the dynamic Malaysian nation must develop an identity in order to become a civilised and glorious nation. The study's direction considers the continuation of patriotism as well as the maximum appreciation of Malaysia's independence history to be nurtured and instilled among the younger generation, allowing Malaysia to exist as a strong country in politics, economy, social, and socio-culture.

Published: October 2022

The discussion in this paper refers to Comprehensive Security (COMSEC) as a continuous effort that is balanced, integrated at every level of government administration and societal structure and across all fields. In order to maintain the Federation of Malaysia’s sovereignty, peace and prosperity, it is necessary to protect the country from all internal and external dangers. This paper discusses COMSEC and its relationship to the sovereignty and security of our nation, Malaysia. The discussion’s focus has shifted when a number of issues were brought up, including the problem of cross-border crime and the current digital threat, where it is important to comprehend COMSEC in order to deal with the Covid-19 outbreak and build public awareness and resilience in order to ensure national security and sustainable development, which is the key to sustainable development. The primary objective of this discussion is to identify the issues that play a significant role in the government’s attempts to implement COMSEC, as well as the challenges faced by the government in addressing the contested issues. The qualitative approach used in this writing uses secondary sources such published study findings, academic writing, online news sources, and public forums. The issue of cross-border crime, such as smuggling, human trafficking, and the invasion of illegal Immigrants (PATI) continues to plague the majority of developing nations, including Malaysia. The problem of digital threats also sparked alarm among the public and the government, since it is one of the issues the government faces in ensuring the security and sovereignty of the nation. In the meantime, there are doctrines regarding the implementation of COMSEC that are still applicable in the current day, but they should be modified to reflect the changing patterns of the times. According to the findings of the study, the government also had a crucial role in preventing the growth of the Covid-19 outbreak in Malaysia. However, other parties also play a crucial role in breaking the chain of the Covid-19 epidemic. Especially in this epidemic period, all parties must work together to realise the government’s goals so that the safety of the people and the nation can be ensured through the application of the COMSEC concept.

The aim of this work was to study the distribution of gross forms of elements - Ca, Mg, Sr, Ni, Cr, Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe, Pb, Cd, Co, As in the soil and plants of roadside agrocenosis. Agrocenosis Triticum aestivum L. is located along the Federal highway P-404. Sonchus arvensis L. and Cirsium setosum (Willd) Bess. are dominant weed species of agrocenosis, have a similar elemental composition. Phytomass of these plants does not accumulate As, Cd, Co, Ni, Cr, Zn, Cu, Mn, Pb. The content of Ca, Mg, Sr, Fe does not depend on the removal of the roadbed. Triticum aestivum L. - the main crop of agrocenosis, does not accumulate in its phytomass As, Cd, Co, Ni, Cr, Zn. The concentrations of Ca, Mg, Sr, Mn, Cu, Fe, Pb in the phytomass of Triticum aestivum L. are not dependent on the location of the road and are in the same range over the entire area of the field. The approach to the roadbed at a distance of 15-200 m did not affect the salt composition of the soil; the pH of soil samples taken over the entire field area is neutral. As, Cd, Co in soil are not detected. The value of the gross forms of Cr, Cu, Sr, Zn, Fe in soil does not exceed the value of their clarkes in the lithosphere. The content of gross forms of Pb and Mn in soil does not exceed the maximum allowable concentration. The approach of the road did not have a critical impact on the elemental composition in the components of the roadside agrocenosis.

Authors: Bezgodova O.V.
Published: October 2022

The article discusses the ice formations of small rivers in the upper reaches of the Irkut river basin. Morphometric and morphological characteristics of icings were obtained, the map-scheme of ice formations was created and analyzed, features of icing processes and their influence on the relief of small rivers were identified using data of field research for 2021-2022, analysis of cartographic material and satellite images. It has been established that the longest and gentlest icings are confined to the area of the Munku-Sardyk massif, the steepest icings - to the Nuhu-Daban and Tunkinsky Goltsy mountains, the icing coefficients of the rivers vary from low to medium values. The main role of ice formations is to transform the relief of the bottoms and slopes of small river valleys through erosive-accumulative (deep, lateral erosion and the formation of alluvial-iced terraces) and cryogenic processes (preparation of loose material).

Taxation is what the European Union lacks today. EU is an area of rights without duties or, rather, in which duties (including taxation) exist only vis-à-vis the individual member states to which they belong. European citizenship is therefore halved, because it is indistinguishable from national citizenship and does not express solidaristic belonging to a supranational community. The investigation into the Union's own tax is the means to address broader issues related to the being of the European Union and its citizens and having at their core the transnational declination of solidarity. The economic and financial profile - inextricably linked to the tax and its revenue - transcends into the centrality of the uses, i.e. the goods and services that the Union may be able to provide, and the indispensable overcoming of the national particularisms that this implies.
La solidarietà finanziaria nel contesto dell'Unione europea
Authors: Buzzacchi Camilla
Published: October 2022

The governance of financial resources in a solidaristic key characterises, in the present age, the national systems of European countries, but it is legitimate to ask whether the same is true at the level of the European Union system. The question must be approached with attention to the two sides of the financial phenomenon: that of revenue and that of expenditure. For both profiles, therefore, it is of interest to investigate the presence of solidaristic elements, starting from the assumption of the profound diversity between systems and therefore taking into account the possibility that the rate of financial solidarity found in the supranational system is of a lower degree than the domestic one; and that the manifestations of this solidarity may take on new and original connotations, destined to add to those traditionally applied in national contexts. The aim of this contribution is therefore to develop a reflection on the ways in which financial resources are raised and spending choices are made in the European system, in order to highlight the peculiar features of the mechanisms operating there and to make an assessment of the manifestations of solidarity that can be recognised.

Abstract: This study was aimed at the assessment of the food quality parameters of crude palm oil (CPO) sold on the major markets of Yaounde city. Information on the origin of the crude palm oil sold therein was gathered from 56 wholesalers, that is eight per market. Twenty one (21) samples were gathered for the purpose of this survey, which is 3 per market depending on the main sources for the analysis of food quality parameters, namely acidity, peroxide value, water content and the potential hydrogen (pH). The results show that the CPO sold in Yaounde markets comes mainly from smallholders sector in Bassa communities and also from SAFACAM of Dizangue industrial sector. As regards food quality, the peroxide value, which was below the maximum level of 10 meq O2/kg, showed no significant difference between the various sources. The pH varies between 4.00 and 4.50 while water content and acidity vary from 0.10 to 1.13% and from 2.56 to 12.16% respectively. Based on these results, the food quality of the CPO samples assessed were of low food quality. CPO from the Dizangue plant proved to be of low quality despite its mechanised production system. These results further show that inappropriate ways of transportation and storage are the cause of the deterioration of the palm oil from the Dizangue plants.

Authors: Swetha Dr. Gummalla , Kaza Dr. (Maj) Suma , Bhavani Dr. M.
Published: October 2022

Abstract: Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the Thyroid is over half a century old and has been shown to be superior to clinical, radionucleotide or thyroid ultrasound assessment alone. It is the most accurate, cost-effective, and simplest screening test for rapid diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Evaluation of both cytomorphological pattern and thyroid hormone profile aids in early detection of various thyroid diseases there by reducing surgical intervention. Aims and Objectives: To correlate role of thyroid hormone profile (T3, T4 and TSH) with cytology results, in various thyroid disorders like diffuse nontoxic goiter, diagnosis of solitary/dominant thyroid nodule and thyroid malignancy. To evaluate the clinical correlation with Euthyroid, Hypo and Hyperthyroid picture in various disorders. To calculate the percentage of surgical intervention for various thyroid disorders in view of thyroid profile in correlation with FNAC findings. Material and methods: All patients who underwent thyroid FNAC from July 2017 to June 2018 have been included in the study only if Thyroid profile has been done. The various lesions have been categorised as Euthyroid, Hypothyroid and Hyperthyroid as per the hormone analysis results. The FNAC findings have been reported as per the Bethesda System and classified as per the latest WHO guidelines. Results: predominantly affected gender was females (91.25%), most common affected age group was 41-50 years (30%), 88.75% were euthyroid patients, most common benign lesion on FNAC was nodular goiter (33.75%), malignant lesion was papillary thyroid carcinoma (18.75%), thyroid profile in various thyroid lesions were euthyroid.

Published: October 2022

Abstract: Infection caused by drug resistance Klebsiella pneumoniae is very common now days in community as well as nosocomial environment. K.pneumoniae is second most common pathogen in neonatal septicemia. Our aim to detect drug resistance K.pneumoniae by production of β-lactamase enzymes such as extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC β-lactamase, metalo β-lactamase (MBL) and carbapenemase in neonatal septicemia. A total 13 isolates of K.pneumoniae detected from neonates admitted in tertiary care centre during study period from February 2015 to July 2016. We analyzed risk factors in K. pneumoniae infection among neonates on the basis of prolong rupture of membrane, preterm birth, onset of septicemia etc. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion methods. β-lactamase enzymes includes, Extended spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL), AmpC β-lactamase, metalo β-lactamase (MBL)and carbapenemase were detected by phenotypic methods using standard guidelines. Distribution of MDR, XDR and PDR detected according to antimicrobial resistance pattern as per guideline. Among 13 K.pneumoniae isolate, antimicrobial resistance profile was studied. Isolates were 100% resistant to third generation cephalosporin and least resistant to imipenem 54%. MDR K.pneumoniae were 23 %, XDR were 77% and no PDR isolated. ESBL production seen in 23.1%, AmpC in 7.7 %, MBL in 00 % and Carbapenemase in 46.1 %. The study indicates that drug resistance higher in NICU of our institute. It requires strict implementation of infection control guidelines in NICU by safe hygiene practices, restricted use of broad spectrum antibiotics as empirical therapy and also formulation of uniform antibiotic policy for such patients based on the current trend of antibiotic resistance.

Published: October 2022

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is one of the main plants of high nutritional importance cultivated in Cameroon. However, its production is compromised by many constraints including the presence of insect pests, which are responsible for losses in the farms. The present study was carried out on the campus of the University of Yaoundé I. Its objective was to evaluate the insecticidal potential of Jatropha curcas seed extracts on the insect pests of okra. Two varieties of okra (Clemson and Hire) were used. Five treatments (T0: control, T +: Lamida gold 90EC insecticide, T-EAQ: treatment with the aqueous extract of J. curcas seeds, T-EAC: treatment with acetone extract of J. curcas seeds, T-E EAE: treatment with ethyl acetate extract of J. curcas seeds) were used in a completely randomized block design with three repetitions. Growth parameters, the number of insects, severity of phyllophages and fruit yield were evaluated. The results showed that a treatment and varietal effect was observed statistically significant on all growth parameters. The pests identified were: Aphis gossypii, Cheilomenes sp, Dydercus spp., Nisotra spp., Podagrica spp., Zonocerus variegatus. Aqueous and organic extracts of Jatropha curcas seeds were effective as Lamida gold insecticide against phyllophages in compared to the control. The best yield was obtained in T-EAQ treatment (9945.45), followed by T+ (8917.31), T-EAE (6712.9) and T-EAC (6149.9) compared to control T0 (4791.3). Variety V2, although having a susceptibility to insect attack, presented the highest yield (7158.9 kg/ha) compared to (6503.78kg/ha) for V1. Aqueous and organic extracts of J. curcas seeds appear to be a promising avenue in the integrated control of okra pests. Therefore, they can be valorized.

Published: October 2022

The digital India initiative was launched in 2015 with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. Digital India strives to bring inclusive growth and bridge the digital divide by leveraging technology solutions that are low cost, developmental, and transformative and designed to empower ordinary Indians. However, digital services are not being uniformly distributed and accessible to all segments of the society. Some communities, the Scheduled Tribes (STs) in particular-face considerable obstacles in accessing digital services and are either completely or partially excluded. ‘Exclusion’ in the socio-political context may be defined as the process through which individuals or groups are wholly or partially excluded from full participation in the society in which they live. The ST population represents one of the most economically backward and socially excluded groups in India. As per 2011 Census, ST population constitute 8.6% of the total population of the India. They generally live in remote areas mainly forests, hills and inaccessible areas and speak a different language. The tribes have been confined to low status and are often physically and socially isolated. The process of social exclusion in STs are closely associated with the factors like geographical isolation, high level of poverty, low level of education, economical exclusion, socio-cultural exclusion, socially least awareness, miss out government services and welfare programmes, less exposure in society, etc,. In this backdrop, the present paper is to analyse major issues and challenges faced by Indian tribal community in access to digital services and digital platforms.

Effect of clinical progress in antihypertensive medications among COVID-19 patients
Authors: Kara Mehmet , Celik Ilhami
Published: October 2022

Objective: Many chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, paving the way for the disease to progress unfavorably in Covid-19. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin-2 receptor blockers (ARBs) can upregulate ACE2 receptors (which SARS-COV-2 uses to enter the host cell) or protect against infection by limiting the effects of Angiotensin 2. This study aimed to reveal the impact of antihypertensive drugs on the hospital staying, and mortality in Covid-19 patients followed in the hospital.
Methods and Results: One hundred patients were randomly selected with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease hospitalized in Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital due to Covid-19 infection. Patients were grouped as taking ACEIs and ARBs group and not taking ACEIs and ARBs group. There were no differences among the groups in terms of the frequency of chronic disease and treatment modalities. The length of the hospital stays, bedding into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and mortality rates were higher in the group without ACEIs or ARBs. Mortality was significantly lower among patients who used ACEIs and ARBs (P=0.00, P=0.02, respectively) and incredibly high among beta-blocker users (P=0.00).  It was found that the advanced age, male gender and use of beta-blockers were associated with mortality.
Conclusion: Although antihypertensive medications are allegedly associated with increased mortality rates, the risk of mortality has not been detected in people taking ACEIs and ARBs. Further studies involving a greater number of patients are needed.
Reflexões sobre a técnica na perspectiva da hermenêutica filosófica
Authors: Caprio Leite de Castro Fabio
Published: October 2022

No horizonte das múltiplas possibilidades de estudo e investigação acerca da técnica, o artigo foca na abordagem teórica desenvolvida no âmbito do paradigma da hermenêutica filosófica. Embora o tema seja, em certa medida, prenunciado na obra fundamental de Gadamer, Verdade e Método, de 1960, encontramos, particularmente, em algumas de suas conferências dos anos 1970 – “Teoria, técnica, práxis” e “O que é a práxis? As condições da razão social” – importantes desenvolvimentos para uma perspectiva crítica sobre a técnica. Em um primeiro ponto, analisa-se a leitura que Gadamer faz de Husserl e de Heidegger no que tange ao problema da técnica, demonstrando a importância dessas influências. Em seguida, desenvolve-se a perspectiva de Gadamer sobre a ciência moderna e os riscos de uma totalização da civilização técnica.
Studi Simulasi Reservoir pada Lapangan Shale Gas
Authors: Surya Prima Adhi , Oktaviani Ajeng Purna Putri
Published: October 2022

Indonesia memiliki potensi cadangan shale gas sebesar 303 TCF. Untuk memaksimalkan produksi shale gas, stimulasi reservoir menggunakan perekahan hidrolik dan injeksi mungkin perlu dilakukan. Selain itu, karena reservoir shale gas sangat kompleks, simulasi reservoir perlu dilakukan untuk membantu memproduksikan gas yang terperangkap di dalam formasi shale. Studi ini memaparkan proses yang dilakukan untuk memodelkan lapangan shale gas dan mengamati fenomena desorpsi di dalam reservoir saat diproduksikan.  Studi ini juga melakukan injeksi gas N2 untuk mengetahui pengaruh injeksi gas tersebut terhadap kinerja reservoir. Jumlah simulasi yang dilakukan dalam studi ini adalah sebanyak empat skenario simulasi.

Dari keempat simulasi reservoir shale gas, akan dihasilkan grafik produksi kumulatif gas metana, tekanan reservoir, faktor perolehan, dan kumulatif gas N2 yang terproduksikan kembali ke permukaan. Dari studi diketahui bahwa perekahan hidrolik, fenomena desorpsi, dan apparent permeability akibat perilaku fluida non-darcy menjadi penting di reservoir shale gas. Setiap skenario simulasi memiliki perbedaan dan diketahui bahwa fenomena desorpsi lebih berpengaruh pada kinerja reservoir di lapangan shale gas. Hasil simulasi juga menunjukkan bahwa injeksi N2 tidak berpengaruh banyak pada kinerja produksi reservoir shale gas.

Authors: Van Heerden Corlia , Badenhorst J.J.
Published: October 2022

This paper summarises the findings of a replication of an earlier study by Van Heerden& Puth (1995), which again confirmed that behavioural and visual identities contributeto the corporate image of South African banking institutions. Perceptions were measuredthrough the same semantic differential used in the 1995 study. Eight factors wereidentified in the replication study, namely social interaction, service, quality, growth,aesthetic characteristics, activeness, liveliness and reputation. A certain degree ofoverlap between the two sets of factors (1995 and replication study) was detected. Thefindings emphasise that banks should nurture social relationships with their customers.
Interactivity and public relations on the web
Authors: Naudé Annelie , Froneman Johannes , Atwood Roy
Published: October 2022

Interactivity is one of the most prominent features of the Internet, distinguishing it fromtraditional mass media such as newspapers or television. However, when discussing theconcept of interactivity, most people tend to think only about the bells and whistles onparticular web sites without considering interactivity as a theoretical concept. As thisaspect has such important implications for communication theory, in general, and forthe use of the Internet as a communication medium, it is essential for communicationscholars and all communication practitioners (including public relations practitioners)to understand the theoretical roots of interactivity. This would enable academics toapply interactivity as a theoretical concept to new media research and practitioners tomake better use of the Internet as a communication medium. This article explores theconcept of interactivity and makes a connection between interactivity and the applicationof the two-way symmetrical model of public relations to public relations on the web.
