In Mexico, center of domestication of prickly pear cactus species (also called “nopales”) few studies exist on insects associated with this crop. The studies are scantier on ants, since the majority are not considered to be pest. For this motive, the population dynamics of the ants was studied in experimental prickly pear crop in the installation of Colegio de Postgraduados, Mexico. The sample was fortnightly performed from February 2013 to March 2014. Ants were gathered with pitfall traps and arboreal traps, all of them with three baits and others without bait. Also recorded raiding, the nests in crop and inside to the cladodes. We collected a total of 10,953 individuals (74 % on ground and 26% on prickly pear cladodes), and seven species were determined: Hypoponera opacior (Forel), Neivamyrmex nigrescens (Cresson), Pogonomyrmex barbatus (Smith), Linepithema humile (Mayr), Camponotus atriceps (Smith), Pheidole obtusospinosa Forel and Monomorium minimum (Buckley). The last four were more abundant and frequent. We discuss the presence and nesting of ants in crop and their association with other insects of prickly pear crop.

Published: January 2023

In India, most of the streets within the habitations are illuminated from evening until morning, averaging roughly 12 hours per day. Throughout the night, some streets may not have automobiles or even pedestrians travelling through them which results in power loss. In addition, the number of vehicles on the road is increasing every day, and traditional traffic management is still in use, road accidents are one of our country's key issues. Many important lives are lost as a result of these accidents, which occur when emergency assistance is unavailable. So, our proposed solution for this problem is that we are designing a model that first detects the traffic and examine then based on situation it controls the lightening system and send traffic intensity data to internet hour wise. For accident detection we used the SOS button to get help immediately and crewman get the exact location of accident. According to the results obtained from the proposed method, energy usage is greatly reduced, and we can receive a very quick alarm when something unpleasant occurs.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study was to determine the inhibitory potential of three species of Trichoderma namely; Trichoderma asperelum, Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma harzianum on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp vasinfectum (fov), the causal organism of vascular wilt in cotton. The experiment consisted of dual culture incubated at 250C + 10C on PDA, for 9 days. During the experiment, the three trichoderma species were obtained from the soil while the fusarium oxysporum isolate was obtained from IAR, Zaria, Nigeria. Antagonistic activity testing was determined using percentage inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum radial growth. The study's results revealed that all the three Trichoderma species tested in this experiment had significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of fov at different degrees compared with untreated control. The percentage inhibition ranged from 54% for Trichoderma. asperelum, 62.8% by Trichoderma viride to the highest being 75.6% and a mean of 45.50% due to Trichoderma harzianum. These results showed that Trichoderma harzianum was the most effective followed by Trichoderma viride and lastly Trichoderma asperellum. This suggest that there are some similarities between the three isolates of Trichoderma as all the three species could inhibit the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp vasinfectum but the best to be used as bio-control agent for vascular wilt of cotton caused by fov was Trichoderma harzianum pending further research.

Study on Peace-Building in Southeast Asia from the Perspective of Normative Localization —— Based on the Comparison Between Myanmar and Cambodia
Authors: Li Yuhong , Feng Junze , Zheng Angung
Published: January 2023

This paper attempts to take Myanmar and Cambodia as examples to explore the consequences of constructive interaction between the international community and Southeast Asian countries after the cold war. After the end of the Cold War, Southeast Asia encountered two regional conflicts and crises of global concern. We finds that for Myanmar and Cambodia, the ability of political elites is the key to leading regional and global peace. The ability of political elites not only determines the process of external norms, but also affects the changes of regional norms. As far as Cambodia is concerned, through cooperation with the United Nations and ASEAN, it has rapidly rebuilt its political authority and effectively internalized the international community's peacebuilding norms. Therefore, Cambodia can improve its national capacity and stability after the emergence of political authority. As far as Myanmar is concerned, after the end of the cold war, the political authority still exists in Myanmar, thus maintaining a certain degree of national stability. With the outbreak of the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar in 2015, Myanmar's original national construction gradually began to collapse. On the one hand, Myanmar cannot internalize the international community's peacebuilding norms. On the other hand, due to the decline of political authority, various internal forces began to struggle with each other, which ultimately led to the failure of the country. For the dissemination of international norms, whether in Cambodia or Myanmar, the localization of external norms requires the cooperation of the political authorities to effectively prevent conflicts.
EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION COVID-19: THE PATIENT PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Van Dulmen Sandra , Leyns Christine
Published: January 2023

In the beginning of 2020, the world turned into a dangerous place for all; the outbreak of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (shortly: COVID-19) seemingly affected all persons alike. Seemingly, the impact of the infection and the way it was treated differed markedly between people and countries. As a result, COVID-19 made many victims, disproportionately among older aged, the poor, ethnic minorities [1], and people with preexisting medical conditions like diabetes [2] or a recently diagnosed mental disorder [3]. These people appeared to have a higher risk of mortality. Beside the risk of infection, the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the whole population, resulting in heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and stress [4] both directly through the virus threat [5] as indirectly through loss of income [6] and social contact [7]. Although the pandemic had—and still has—a severe impact on the mental and physical health of those who were infected or at risk of being infected, people do seem to differ in the extent their lives were and are influenced by the infection. Recently, for instance, Bonenkamp et al investigated the mental health of 177 dialysis patients before and during the COVID-19 pandemic [8]. Their study showed that the mental health experienced by this group of patients was unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The conclusion of the authors was that “dialysis patients may be better able to cope with the pandemic since they have high resilience and are less impacted by social distancing measures.” An alternative interpretation could, however, be that the mental health of people who undergo such an invasive treatment is already quite poor and might not be able to get any lower (floor effect). Nevertheless, as shown by the following quote of a young, chronically ill patient, individual persons differ in the way they cope with the pandemic:
COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN URUGUAY AND THE NEED FOR A PERSON AND SOCIAL CENTERED MEDICINE
Authors: Bagattini Nicolás , López-Gómez Alejandra , Luzardo Mario , Dogmanas Denisse , Brunet Nicolás , Bernardi Ricardo
Published: January 2023

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Uruguayan government decided to call for an attitude of responsible freedom of the population and created an Honorary Scientific Advisory Group (GACH). The intention was to report the scientific evidence available on the health situation with transparency and technical independence and to recommended interventions. This paper aims (1) to analyze the strategy to combat the COVID-19 pandemic used in Uruguay from the perspective and principles of person-centered medicine (PCM), (2) to report and examine from a broad perspective the policy regarding health authorities, scientific evidence and population, and (3) to discuss the importance of mental health and behavioral monitoring for identifying vulnerable groups that require special attention and care.

Methods: Retrospective and narrative analysis of the creation of a socioeconomic and behavioral observatory [OSEC], critical evaluation of key data collection on population mental health, and assessment of the influence of OSEC in the context of the pandemic in Uruguay. T-test was used to assess mean differences of mental health trends in the general population using GHQ-12 panel data. The article presents the results obtained on the country’s mental health data through the analysis of a helpline consultations and a digital panel survey of a representative sample of the Uruguayan population. Screening instruments were used, which allowed for an identification of risk groups.

Results: The evidence shows the impact of the pandemic on the emotional distress of the population, indicating that the population discomfort decreased significantly when the pandemic situation began to improve. In addition, differences according to socioeconomic status and age groups were observed, showing that the most disadvantaged had significantly higher levels of emotional distress than those of the middle and upper class, at all times of analysis.

Conclusions: Apparently, it is possible to extend the principles of beneficence, autonomy, and justice applied at the individual level to the level of collective health policies. This is essential to achieve the active participation of the population in their self-care and to promote greater and more transparent communication with the health and scientific fields. It is also necessary to adopt a holistic, biopsychosocial perspective, which makes it possible to identify the vulnerable sectors of society and the areas in which special attention is required.

Authors: Meekes Wytske , Schlinkert Caroline , Van Tuyl H. D. , J. E. de Veer Anke , Wagner Cordula
Published: January 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic imposed enormous challenges for healthcare professionals. Nursing staff had to work under psychological pressure to maintain patient safety. Resilience has proven to be a protective psychological health factor that can safeguard healthcare professionals’ mental health and well-being during healthcare crises. The state of resilience among Dutch healthcare professionals is not yet known.

Objective: This study investigated perceived resilience and perception of patient safety during the COVID-19 pandemic among Dutch nursing staff. Additionally, individual differences in resilience were examined in relation to patient safety.

Method: An online survey about resilience and patient safety was sent to 2,611 members of the Dutch Nursing Staff Panel in June 2021, after the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands.

Results: 884 certified nursing staff professionals completed the survey (33% response rate). Nursing staff considered themselves resilient with a positive perception of patient safety within their organization. Factors that influenced resilience were education, age, part-time employment, experiences with treating patients with a COVID-19 infection, and having suffered from a COVID-19 infection. Nursing staff who perceived higher resilience reported to act more flexible during their work, to encounter more unexpected situations and they found that working according protocols and guidelines had improved during the pandemic.

Discussion: The results show a more positive pattern compared to other European countries. In the Netherlands, nursing staff considered themselves as highly resilient.

Conclusions: Resilient healthcare professionals report to be better able to handle crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Optimally, strengthening individual resilience for the healthcare organization may secure the patient safety of health care in the future.
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL EMPOWERMENT
Authors: L. Millar Helen
Published: January 2023

Background: Healthcare professional specialties, including psychiatry, have had to adapt to the unprecedented challenges created by COVID-19 by transforming the service to benefit patients and improve sustainability of the workforce.Methods: This short paper provides an experiential perspective and highlights a selection of the recent relevant guidance and key publications in the field while outlining examples of practical adaptations made by mental healthcare professionals to rapidly organize a “virtual” person-centered model of care to deliver a hybrid psychiatric service while maintaining staff mental and physical well-being.Results: Mental healthcare professionals have risen to the challenge of COVID-19 by reconfiguring the current model of care and advancing in the use of technology to provide a hybrid model of patient care. With the unprecedented situation created by COVID-19, these rapid developments promoted innovative ways of working that could be beneficial, flexible and improve patient care as well as potentially create a more healthy work–life balance for staff in the medium to longer term.Conclusions: COVID-19 is the greatest public health challenge in the 21st century to date. Mental healthcare professionals have demonstrated an ability to successfully and rapidly adapt to create a virtual way of working and provide a more flexible person-centered model of care for patients. By shifting conventional work patterns, the situation allowed the opportunity to rethink current healthcare delivery. The unprecedented scenario empowered healthcare professionals to address inefficiencies and system failures in the current system and advance in ways of working which could potentially improve the sustainability of the limited healthcare workforce within an already pressurized system and promote a more person-centered model of care.
TOWARDS AN EFFECTIVE PANDEMIC RESPONSE WHERE NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND
Authors: C. Leyns Christine , Van Dulmen Sandra
Published: January 2023

When a country is hit by a disaster or an epidemic, global solidarity is called upon and resources are mobilized, largely from high-income countries. The current pandemic scenario was different, even more in the beginning. All countries were hit, and they needed their own resources to reduce the impact on their health system and population. Many factors have been identified to hamper an optimal response to the pandemic like a delayed country-level and WHO response, a lack of coordination among governments, public opposition to routine public health and social measures, and the failure to properly address the profoundly unequal effects of the pandemic.

Published: January 2023

The analogous unity between God and creature, which Eckhart assumes in his doctrine of the analogy of the communissima 'Being', 'One', 'True', 'Good' does not consist in a causal relation ('analogous causality'), as understood in recent studies, but in a sign relation: The creature functions as a

medium, which indicates and manifests the being, one, true, good, which is God. This relation, however, is based on a causal relation which Eckhart interprets as participation. His understanding of participation differs fundamentally from that of Aquinas. Eckhart unfolds the practical consequences of his doctrine of analogy in his reflections on the ethos of seclusion.

Keywords: doctrine of analogy, analogous unity (of God and creature), analogy of the transcendentals, participation (Eckart versus Thomas Aquinas), creature as sign, ethos of seclusion
Wie viele Arten von Möglichkeit gibt es? Ein Kommentar zu Barbara Vetters "Möglichkeit ohne mögliche Welten"
Authors: Hoffmann-Kolss Vera
Published: January 2023

One implication of Vetter's theory of modality is that necessity and possibility are regarded as unitary natural kinds. In this paper, I argue that from the perspective of the philosophy of causation, there are good reasons to distinguish between different kinds of necessity: causal necessity, which is nomologically necessary, and non-causal necessity, which is metaphysically necessary. One challenge for Vetter's approach is to explain this distinction.

Keywords: nomological necessity, metaphysical necessity, causation, metaphysical dependence, natural kinds
Die allgemeinste objektive Möglichkeit
Authors: Loets Annina
Published: January 2023

Barbara Vetter proposes that certain epistemic and metasemantic challenges to our theorizing about metaphysical modality can be met by an approach which generalizes from every day paradigms of objective modality – notably the abilities and dispositions familiar to us “from the context of action” – to give content to the more abstract notion of a most general objective modality: metaphysical modality. I argue that the ability ascriptions which are central to our day to day practical reasoning are permeated with opacity and therefore make for problematic paradigms of an objective modality. While Vetter could retrospectively “purify” her sample of paradigms, this would leave her in a similar position as those who seek to restrict a particularly broad modality, e.g. a priori conceivability, to its objective core. I conclude by taking on Vetter’s pessimistic conjecture that proponents of different approaches to the metasemantic challenge operate under assumptions so dramatically different that we should not expect them to even share a subject matter. Against this, I give an argument which suggests that so long as there is agreement regarding the theoretical role of metaphysical modality, it would be surprising if it made a difference whether one approached metaphysical modality by generalizing from one well-understood modality rather than by restricting another. Keywords: objective modality, abilities, opacity, broadest necessity
Assessing Ventilation Strategies to Reduce the Spread of Pathogens in Restaurants
Authors: Bhagwat Sanika , Joshi Vedant , Battaglia Francine

Since first recognizing COVID-19 as a rapidly spreading virus, research has been pursued to determine how to reduce or mitigate the transmission. Many restaurants reduced capacity and increased distance between tables to maintain social distancing. However, patrons remove masks while eating and this does not guarantee the prevention of viral transmission. The goal of this study was to understand how virus spreads in an air-conditioned restaurant using computational fluid dynamics. Three configurations for supply and return vents were modeled in a scenario where a carrier sneezes and releases virus-laden saliva droplets into the air. The distributions of droplets airborne, deposited on surfaces and exhausted through return vents, were compared to determine where vent configuration reduces the risk of infection for patrons. The effect of air changes per hour (ACH) was studied by comparing the percentages of airborne and exhausted droplets. Lastly, two vent configurations were compared in a scenario with multiple diners talking within the span of 2 minutes. A staggered supply vent configuration was found to be most effective in removing airborne particles. Increasing ACH decreased the percentage of airborne particles. Smaller respiratory particles released by activities like talking have a higher percentage being exhausted than larger sneeze droplets.
INFLUENCE OF CORROSION FROM THE IMPACT OF AGGRESSIVE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS ON THE DURABILITY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE
Authors:   Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction, Дамиров Масил
Published: January 2023

Abstract. The use of reinforced concrete in construction is in great demand in the modern world. Despite the high pace of technological development, reinforced concrete still needs more extensive research in its various areas. One of the most urgent problems of reinforced concrete structures is to improve the quality and duration of service life, taking into account the influence of an aggressive environment. Given the close interrelation of internal and external factors in these processes, it can be argued that the corrosion of reinforced concrete occupies a significant place in the design, calculation, construction and operation of reinforced concrete buildings and structures for various purposes. The article presents an overview analysis of the relationship between corrosion and the durability of reinforced concrete structures, including the influence of some internal factors in concrete on the safety of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete. Keywords: reinforced concrete, construction, aggressive environment, corrosion, reliability
Extensive Research on Understanding the Importance of Green Consumerism in India-The need of the hour-Evolution of buying behavior and changing trends
Authors: Steffy Lawrence  , Pallavi Tyagi
Published: January 2023

There is a crucial need during the era of globalization to keep our environment safe while keeping the consumers satisfied. Consumer satisfaction and change in perception is an important aspect in order to create a hopeful cultural progress to an asset compelled future. The day each individual on this planet lean towards a green product, at that point itself we would actually spare our “mother earth”, the “maker” of people from being used drastically. Green products add to the green living or practices which foresees air, land and water defilement. Their use limits the carbon impressions or the outpouring of greenhouse gases. Prevailing piece of these things is biodegradable, recyclable, or can be dealt with the dirt. Subsequently their exchanges don’t irritate the ecological change. A green customer is the person who worries about the earth and, in this manner, just buys items that are naturally amicable. Green marketer plans the marketing and promotion of green products. Green consumerism has assisted with prodding huge moves in the manner by which few ventures see the natural challenge. This study critically evaluates the development of businesses towards sustainable products, to further study the growth of ecofriendly processes of production and to study the factors affecting the buying behavior of consumers towards green items contributing to the rising green consumerism. This paper studies the relationship of six constructs on buying behave towards green purchase through the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). It inferred and inspected the model in an example of 100 respondents. The discoveries of this model demonstrated that customer attitude and SN does not have a significant relationship with the purchase intention but perceived behavior control have positive effects on the buying behave of green products. Moreover, our outcomes showed that ecological concern doesn’t have a link with the buying behavior for green items. Numerous researches were done on this area by authors. The interpretations add to working on the study of expectation to buy green items, which could assume an important part to green commercialization or green consumerism.

Social learning is a relatively new theory compared to other learning theories. Social Learning is learning through interaction with a community of experts and fellow learners. Communication between participants relies on social networking media such as online discussions, blogging, and text messages. As we know there are a lot of social media that exist today, based on data, there are 6 social media that are most often used by people, especially Indonesia, namely Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Pinterest. To apply social learning we must pay attention to the features that can be used from each of these social media so that they can support a learning process. Then, determine which social media is suitable for the learning process you want to build. In Social Learning, there are many ways to interact between teachers and students with the presence of educational technology in the digitalization era. Likewise social learning with educational technology can support and be useful in supporting Christian religious education learning.

Published: January 2023

Objectives: This article has had two main objectives. The first has been to adapt and validate a questionnaire to measure intrinsic satisfaction when learning through a second language (English). To do so, the items satisfaction/enjoyment and boredom were adapted into this new setting. The second goal has been to analyze, in a CLIL context, the sex and age differences within these two variables (satisfaction/enjoyment and boredom).

Methods: In order to fulfill this study, 3355 students were surveyed in the region of Andalucía (South of Spain) with a statistical confidence level of 99%, and a margin of error below 2%. After the analysis performed, the instrument proved to be valid and reliable, which implies that a new tool would be available for future studies, and even for actual teaching in new approaches of the FLL, such as gamification.

Discussion: Regarding sex and age differences, the main finding has been the significant higher boredom values in boys, as opposed to enjoyment in girls in CLIL contexts.

Conclusion: This might shed light on performance depending sex and age which could be useful in other studies, and CLIL practice adaptation.
PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC AND SPORTS COMMITMENT IN ADOLESCENT WOMEN: CLUSTER ANALYSIS USING ANN-SOM

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT

This research analyses different variables of the sports and academic commitment of adolescent women and how they behave in general and it also takes into account gatherings created through cluster analysis using ANN-SOM. The sample consisted of 182 adolescent women (M= 14,86 / SD= 1,832) who completed various test scales to know the use of coping strategies and the degree of resilience, commitment and stress, both in the sports and academic fields. The sport-variable predictors of academic engagement were task-oriented coping and resilience, and the academic ones were about the Grade Point Average (GPA) and task-oriented coping. Three groups of participants were identified. The group in which the sports variables predicted the academic commitment to a greater extent corresponded to the one with the highest level and sports commitment. The sports variables of academic engagement were the level, as well as the task-oriented coping and resilience; the academic variables were emotional coping and distancing and resilience, with task coping showing a clear trend. By clusters, the group with the highest GPA was the one in which the sporting determinants had the lowest predictive value over their academic commitment.
