Authors: Kombate Bignoate , Metowogo Kossi
Published: January 2023

Dermatological diseases are common inflammatory affections of the skin. In recent times, interest in herbal medicine for the treatment of dermatological diseases has become more than necessary due to the side effects of conventional drugs and their ineffectiveness. To this end, the use of herbal medicine is a promising approach. The objective of this review is to list scientific articles and reviews on plant extracts or plant formulations used in the treatment of dermatological diseases including acne, psoriasis, dermatitis and wounds which are the most common affections. The following scientific databases were consulted: PubMed, Inari, science direct, Google scholar, Web of Science and Scopus. This review provides evidence that herbal medicines will be emerging and promising treatments for dermatological conditions. However, better quality evidence and standardized methodologies are needed to support and further investigate the efficacy, safety and security of these plants.

The purchasing power of goods and services of pensioner families during the COVID19 pandemic, 2018-2021
Authors: Mihailescu Adina
Published: January 2023

Starting from the normative method, applied in RIQL we will evaluate the real purchasing power of the retired families, more precisely how the income of a person or family covers the essential minimum of goods and services necessary for the subject under discussion. In the time period 1990-2021, the standard of living of the Romanian population was affected in different ways. The incomes of families with children, as well as retired families, could not keep up, sometimes, with the price increases applied to products and services on the market. The incomes and expenses of the population provide a concrete picture of the quality of life of the population and contribute to taking the necessary measures, through socio-economic policies, for the benefit of society members.

Tryb zgłaszania kandydatów w wyborach na urząd Prezydenta RP
Authors:   Uniwersytet Łódzki, Składowski Konrad
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the procedure of nominating candidates for the office of the President of the Republic of Poland. The provisions of the Constitution and the Electoral Code were assessed. The analysis of the elections to the office of the President in Poland indicates that the requirement to collect 100,000 signatures of citizens who have the right to vote for the Sejm is not difficult to reach. As a result, candidates with low public support, who receive less than 100,000 votes, participate in the election of the President. At the same time, election practice shows that there is a lot of irregularities during collecting the signatures. This problem was repeatedly pointed out by the National Electoral Commission The article ends with proposals to amend the Electoral Code aimed at clarifying the rules for collecting signatures of support and introducing an election deposit.
Modele prawny i pozaprawny uprawnień w stanach nadzwyczajnych
Authors:   Uniwersytet Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, Adamczyk Anita
Published: January 2023

The institution of states of emergency has acquired a new dimension with the development of states with a democratic system. Their feature is episodic and juridical. These states can be triggered by exogenous and/or endogenous factors. They are introduced in order to counteract the threat to the security of the state, its integrity and care for the welfare of the nation. During their duration, the role of the executive increases and civil rights and freedoms are restricted. In the article emphasis is placed on the models of the powers of government in states of emergency. The approaches of David Dyzenhaus and Oren Gross and Fionnual Ní Aoláin are presented. The thesis of the article is that the sources of power of the authorities in the period of extraordinate states have not only a legal basis, but are also located outside the law.
Przepisy stabilizujące w Konstytucji RP na przykładzie Konkordatu między Rzeczpospolitą Polską a Stolicą Apostolską
Authors:   Uniwersytet SWPS w Warszawie, Jagiełło Dariusz , Gardocka Teresa ,   Uniwersytet SWPS w Warszawie
Published: January 2023

The Constitution, in Chapter I of the Republic, contains norms of a stabilising legal status. We address those that raise questions of interpretation, sometimes raised by the doctrine and resolved in different ways. Some are formulated in general terms, which makes it difficult to determine the scope of the protection (stabilisation) provided. We will concentrate on the norms of stabilisation that perpetuate the regulations or even do not allow changes without amending the Constitution of the Republic of Poland – Article 25 Paragraph 4, treating of the agreement concluded with the Holy See, but also those that mention, in various contexts, the constitutional ministers that may not be absent from the government, although the law allows its composition to be shaped freely. It seems that among the norms of a stabilising legal state, the issue of the Concordat is the most emotive. The authors wonder: is it legitimate for the church party to have more rights than the state? A historical-legal method (analysis of the Concordats and the historical-political background) and a dogmatic analysis of the provisions have been used.

The Sovereignty of the Political Nation Under Threat? Portugal Between Neo- and Quasi-Militant Democracy
Authors:   Nicolaus Copernicus University, Rezmer-Płotka Kamila
Published: January 2023

In this paper the main assumption is that Portugal becomes a neo-militant democracy since the first major finance crisis in the European Union, which occurred in 2008– 2009 years. This process has also accelerated significantly at the time of the so-called refugee crisis and the coronavirus pandemic. The clue of the assumption is the introduction of restrictions on the rights and freedoms of citizens, especially visible during crises, as well as the demobilization of social movements which began in connection with the beginning of anti-democratic tendencies. Based on the analysis, it can be observed that Portugal becomes a neo-militant democracy to an increasing extent. This may be indicated by introduced and existing legal regulations limiting the rights and freedoms of citizens.

The intramedullary total femoral reconstruction (ITFR) was used successfully in a 62-year-old patient with myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh and post-radiation fracture nonunion of the proximal femur and osteonecrosis of the ipsilateral knee. This described technique offers the advantage of a less invasive prosthesis insertion, preservation of the surrounding muscle attachments, better functional outcomes, and lower complication rates. Total femoral reconstruction using ITFR, preserving the femoral diaphysis, could be an option to address concomitant hip and knee defects, especially in patients with poor soft tissue quality.

Published: January 2023

The aim of this study was to develop solid dispersions (SDs) of clarithromycin (CLA) using hydrophilic polymers hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and xanthan gum (XNG) as drug carriers. An in vitro dissolution study was performed in dissolution media of pH 6.8, and the results were compared with those of standard drugs. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies were carried out on an animal model (rabbits). The thermal behavior of each SD formulation was studied using differential scanning calorimetry analysis. It was concluded from the results that the crystalline nature of CLA had been transformed into an amorphous form in SDs. Pharmacokinetic parameters were observed to improve in HPMC- as well as XNG-based SDs compared with those of the standard drug. Additionally, powder X-ray diffraction analysis also confirmed the phase transition (crystalline to amorphous) of the drug present in SDs. Higher values of C max were found in the case of HPMC-based SDs, whereas t max values were prolonged in SDs based on XNG. Additionally, the enhanced half-life values indicated that SDs would have the potential to achieve a once-daily dose and improved patient compliance of drugs. Hence, the formulated SDs of a poorly soluble drug, based on HPMC and XNG as carriers, exhibited a more hydrophilic nature with enhanced aqueous solubility and therefore improved bioavailability compared with that of a standard drug.
Resource efficiency in industrialised construction: a study in developing economies
Authors: Kedir Firehiwot , Hall Daniel M , Ioannidou Dimitra , Rupper Thomas , Boyd Richard , Hollberg Alex
Published: January 2023

Developing economies need to supply housing and ensure resource efficiency in the process. Industrialised construction, which increases productivity in construction, can be one means to deliver the needed housing. However, the resource efficiency of industrialised construction in developing economies is under-researched. This paper studies factors influencing resource efficiency in industrialised housing products from the perspective of value chain and environmental impact in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Nairobi, Kenya; and Cape Town, South Africa. Specifically, wall systems with varying degrees of industrialised construction implementation are studied. The study uncovers four main insights – first, the choice of materials influences the resource efficiency of industrialised wall systems; however, the current value chain does not promote the adoption of new materials. Second, products used for industrialised wall systems are imported and incur added transportation-related impacts and more. Third, industrialised construction wall systems often use lightweight materials and have the potential for disassembly; however, end users have reservations about such design strategies. Fourth, controlled production of wall systems reduces construction waste and increases the quality of products. Nevertheless, governments are currently promoting labour-intensive construction methods. Based on these insights, the paper concludes with recommendations, levers and action points for stakeholders to promote resource efficiency in industrialised construction adoption.
Response of rigid drainage pile–superstructure–quay wall system under lateral spreading

Published: January 2023

Many examples of earthquake damage show that liquefied lateral spreading is the main cause of pile foundation failure. Rigid drainage piles (RDPs), with two drainage grooves and plastic drainage plates, are a new type of liquefaction-resistant pile that can take into account the bearing capacity and drainage function. A series of 1g shaking table tests was carried out to analyse the seismic response of an RDP–superstructure–quay wall system subjected to lateral spreading. Three levels of earthquake intensities – small (peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.05g), moderate (PGA = 0.1g) and large (PGA = 0.2g) – were investigated. The improvement in the anti-liquefaction performance using RDPs was analysed. The influences of far-field (FF) and near-field (NF) ground motions were also examined. The experimental results showed that RDPs can effectively reduce the liquefaction degree and the horizontal flow of the sand stratum. In addition, the internal force and displacement of the superstructure built on RDPs were small. The seismic response due to NF ground motion was found to be more significant than that of the FF ground motion, but the effects of FF ground motion cannot be disregarded. The results of the tests could provide useful information for the design of RDP groups in a typical pile–superstructure–quay wall system.
The full state of stress in monotonic simple shear tests on sand
Authors: Ghafghazi Mason , Talesnick Mark , Givi Farid Ahmadi
Published: January 2023

The simple shear test has been an important tool in practical geotechnical engineering and the study of soil behaviour. The attractiveness of the simple shear test is founded in its relative ease of specimen preparation, similarity to at-rest conditions during consolidation and rotation of principal stresses during shear. Despite this test's attractive qualities, there are significant deficiencies in the interpretation of standard test results: horizontal normal stresses are not known and excess pore pressures are often interpreted from assumptions about constant-volume tests without saturation. To address this problem, a set of monotonic tests were performed on a sand, during which horizontal normal stresses were measured in the central portion of specimens. Based on the measurements, the full state of stress was defined, stress paths were drawn and directions of the principal stresses were determined. Outcomes showed that the conventional approach of estimating excess pore pressures as the change in vertical pressure to maintain constant volume in response to shear is problematic, and friction angles interpreted from conventionally measured shear and vertical stresses may be grossly underestimated in some cases.
Facile methods for fabricating wettability patterns on metal substrates
Authors: Liu Wangyu , Liang Zhen , Xie Weigui , Huang Guangwen , Luo Yuanqiang
Published: January 2023

Extreme-wettability-patterned surfaces have attracted great attention due to their excellent application prospects for liquid manipulation. However, developing a simple and universal method to fabricate wettability patterns on a variety of metals remains a great challenge. In this work, three specific preparation approaches were developed to fabricate wettability patterns on copper substrates using chemical processing combined with mask technology. Surface wettability can be suitably controlled by changing the solution concentration and immersion time. The surface has good stability and low pollution under external action. The three preparation methods have differences in preparation process, wettability and mask function. On the basis of these approaches, various complex wettability patterns could be prepared on different metal substrates using designed masks. Furthermore, various wettability-patterned surfaces were successfully fabricated for liquid manipulation applications, such as controlling the fluid shape and water transport. The methods proposed are expected to have promising application potential in patternable printing, water collection and heat-dissipation devices.
Speech Recognition Performances of Early and Late Turkish-German Bilinguals
Authors: AKIN ŞENKAL Özgül
Published: January 2023

Turkish is the 16th most spoken language in the world, with approximately 83 million users. Today, based on social reasons, bilingualism and multilingualism are prevalent. Similarly, studies on bilingualism or multilingualism in literature have been increasing. This study aims to show the preliminary results of the Turkish word recognition performance of Turks (Turkish-German bilinguals) living in Germany. In this study, 60 early and late bilingual subjects whose ages ranged from 18 to 65 years old were tested. Speech recognition test material consisted of 120 three-syllabic Turkish words recorded on CD which were played to the bilingual individuals using an IBM 386sx personal computer, Westra Audiometer CAD- 03, and sound insulated room per Industrial Acoustics Company (IAC) standards. The individuals were asked to repeat the Turkish words they listened to. The words were recorded by the author in the way they had been repeated by the individuals. The results were assessed per percentages of word recognition. Turkish-German early bilinguals performed more poorly than late bilinguals in terms of word recognition. This finding indicates that bilingualism may affect early bilinguals’ word recognition performance in terms of auditory processing. It was observed in the literature that bilingual children lag behind their monolingual peers in terms of both vocabulary and grammatical development. The findings in this study are consistent with those studies. More studies are needed for bilingual individuals.

PERFORMANCE OF AN EPOXY-FILLER-MODIFIED BAMBOO-REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB
Authors: Thangaraj Seethalakshmi , Madasamy Murugan
Published: January 2023

The necessity for a transition in the building industry towards sustainability has made bamboo-based construction more prevalent in recent decades. This paper demonstrates the development and performance evaluation of a newly developed cementitious composite slab panel containing nano-basalt powder (nBP) modified epoxy-coated bamboo as the reinforcement. The experimental research conducted on six slab panels ((600 × 450 × 50) mm), each having a different reinforcement type, demonstrated that the one with the nBP-modified epoxy-coated bamboo reinforcement showed significantly improved flexural performance by exhibiting better bonding characteristics. When compared to the uncoated bamboo-reinforced slab, the bond strength of the nBP-modified epoxy-coated bamboo-reinforced slab rose by about 32 %, to around 5.65 MPa. A flexural strength of about 73 MPa and a bond strength of about 6.26 MPa were attained due to the use of the nano-basalt powder modified epoxy-coated bamboo reinforcements with glass wrapping (nBGS). Comparing the nBGS slab to a slab of conventional cement concrete revealed an increase in the load-carrying capability of nearly 89 %.

Authors: Li Ningning , Xu Lei , Huang Liang , Tong Yuping , Jiang Zhengquan , Li Keliang
Published: January 2023

A functionally graded Ni-Al coating can improve the hardness of low-carbon steel, which can then adapt to various conditions due to a high hardness. The primary purpose of this research was the preparation of a Ni-Al coating by adopting a two-step method including nickel plating and pack aluminizing. The coating phase and morphology were characterized with XRD, SEM and EDS. Subsequently, the hardness of the Ni-Al coating was measured using a nanoindentation test. The results show that different aluminum contents in the coating surface lead to different coating phases, mainly Ni2Al3. The change in the coating phases conformed to the Ni-Al binary phase diagram. The Ni-Al coating showed a continuous gradient structure and composition. In addition, the coating also showed continuous gradient variation, relating to the hardness.
SHRINKAGE BEHAVIOR OF AN ECO-FRIENDLY ENGINEERED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITE
Authors: Infanto R. Reno , Kumar S. Adish
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the present research is to assess the impact of foundry sand (FS) and cement kiln dust (CKD) on the autogenous shrinkage, drying and total shrinkage of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) over 100 d. Additionally, the pore sizes and their distribution in the developed ECC system were assessed through the BJH adsorption technique. The findings showed that the pore structure was refined continuously over time. This indicates that the CKD-modified ECC mixes demonstrated decreased autogenous shrinkage at the early and later ages of the 100-d period, although the total shrinkage, developed during the later stages, was comparable to the CKD/FS mixes and conventional ECCs. Specimens with 30 % FS and 15 % CKD inclusions showed significantly fewer medium capillary holes and more gel pores. As the pores in a CKD-modified ECC system are smaller than in the traditional ECC, the modified ECC specimens are denser and show a lower loss of water.

Jaime Alberto Vélez, el fabulista
Authors: Montoya Pablo
Published: January 2023

Resumen: En este artículo Pablo Montoya Campuzano presenta un análisis poetológico de los libros Un coro de ranas (1999) y Bajo la piel del lobo (2002) del fallecido escritor y colega Jaime Alberto Vélez. El autor fundamenta su constatación sobre la obra tratada, esto es, de que el camino más inteligente que tiene el creador escéptico en la literatura es el de la ironía. La ironía, al igual que el “sarcasmo contenido”, son las estrategias poéticas que aquí se tratan frente a las dos obras citadas. Pero para Montoya estas obras de Vélez, representan un caso aislado debido a la certeza con la cual el poeta lleva a la práctica sus estrategias irónicas y sarcásticas en el marco de la fábula y, en ella, de la crítica a la sociedad masificada. En torno a ella destaca el autor que el poeta, en su “coro de ranas” muestra cómo la exacerbación de los sentidos corresponde a la anulación de la capacidad de juicio y a la neurosis. Montoya analiza una obra poética marcada por el escepticismo y por la desconfianza frente a la normatividad, el control y la acción ciega de las masas. Descriptores: Cuento colombiano; Ironía; Sarcasmo; Escepticismo; Un coro de ranas; Bajo la piel del lobo; Vélez, Jaime Alberto. Abstract: In this article Pablo Montoya Campuzano presents a poetological analysis of Un coro de ranas (1999) and Bajo la piel del lobo (2002) books of the deceased writer and colleague Jaime Alberto Vélez. The author founds his establishments over the work he presents; this refers to the most intelligent way of the skeptic creator in literature: irony. Irony and “restrained sarcasm” are the poetic strategies of the author here studied. The works of Vélez represent for Montoya an isolated case due to the certainty the poet puts in practice to show his ironic and sarcastic strategies in the frame of the fable and in this one, the critic to the massed society. Around this, the author emphasizes that the poet in his “coro de ranas” shows how the exacerbation of the senses corresponds to the annulment of the capacity of judgment and to the neurosis. Montoya analyses a poetic work marked by skepticism and distrust in front of the norm, control and blind action of the masses. Key words: Colombian Short Story; Irony; Sarcasm; Esepticism; Un coro de ranas; Bajo la piel del lobo; Vélez, Jaime Alberto.

Escenario edénico y naturaleza prístina en Sail Ahoy!!! ¡Vela a la vista!, y The Spiritof Persistence, de Hazel Robinson Abrahams: dos formas de recuperar una isla colonizada
Authors: Del Valle Idárraga Mónica María
Published: January 2023

Este artículo se centra en la novela Sail Ahoy!!! ¡Vela a la vista! (2004), de la escritora isleña Hazel Robinson Abrahams, y en varios productos iconográficos y etnográficos, todos parte de un proyecto de etnoeducación que incluye la novela. Tras situar el contexto histórico-político de las tensas relaciones entre San Andrés y Colombia, analiza el modo como se representa la isla y su historia en la novela y en uno de los catálogos del proyecto etnoeducativo. Luego, analiza la postura subyacente a todo este proyecto de etnoeducación propuesto por Hazel Robinson, en términos de un anhelo por reinventar una narrativa de la identidad de la isla recurriendo a modos y costumbres de antes de la colonialización como forma de oponerse a la presencia de Colombia y los colombianos continentales (o pañas) en la isla.
Jorge Zalamea: intelectual, crítico literario y de la cultura
Authors: Zuluaga Quintero Diego Alejandro
Published: January 2023

Este artículo pretende ubicar la obra de Jorge Zalamea dentro de la tradición intelectual e histórica de Colombia. Se detiene, principalmente, en el papel que como intelectual desempeña el autor y el empleo de su obra en la construcción de unos ideales democráticos y un sentido crítico de la cultura nacional, en todos sus ámbitos: político, literario, artístico. Además, se analiza la función intelectual del autor en una perspectiva hispanoamericana o como continuador del legado intelectual del siglo xix hispanoamericano representado por personajes como Domingo Faustino Sarmiento en Argentina o González Prada en Perú, para quienes el legado cultural de España en Hispanoamérica fue materia de análisis.

Tránsitos por el río Magdalena: el boga, el blanco y las contradicciones del liberalismo colombiano de mediados del siglo XIX
Authors: Martínez Pinzón Felipe
Published: January 2023

Al investigar la relación de la imaginación político-económica del liberalismo del medio siglo xix colombiano con el espacio intertropical, este ensayo muestra cómo, durante su etapa como liberal radical (1848-1865), José María Samper (1828-1881) representa la hostilidad de la naturaleza como razón suficiente para justificar su dominación, en el entendido, obviamente, de que la incorporación al circuito del capital equivale a la dominación de sus habitantes. Las tierras allende del alto Magdalena serán representadas por Samper en sus textos de Viajes de un colombiano en Europa (1862) como lugares de tránsito —y no espacios de habitación— que se deben dejar atrás, simplemente, porque no se pliegan a los designios productivos del capital. Representados como lugares de clima malsano y caluroso y de gentes indisciplinadas al punto del crimen, el bajo Magdalena en la obra de Samper muestra cómo aquello que no se integra a la frontera agrícola debe ser representado negativamente como forma de legitimar a futuro su incorporación a las dinámicas del mercado bajo medios casi nunca pacíficos.
La correspondencia entre Miguel A. Caro y Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo. En torno a la invención conservadora de una nación literaria
Authors: Sánchez Cuervo Antolín
Published: January 2023

La calurosa correspondencia que Miguel A. Caro y el polígrafo español Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo mantuvieron durante varios años revela una marcada afinidad intelectual y de cosmovisión, literaria e ideológica. Entre otros intereses, compartieron la reivindicación de la tradición literaria hispánica clásica, en la que confluyen la historiografía filológica y la imaginación nacionalista como clave de una “nación literaria”, acorde con la interpretación tradicionalista del hispanismo. Diversos ensayos de uno y de otro, algunos de ellos referidos en dicha correspondencia, muestran este interés, orientado a combatir la significación ilustrada y liberal del Estado-nación, así como a reducir la existencia de otras tradiciones literarias en Hispanoamérica.
Mujeres oscuras: prostitución y madrinazgo en La novia oscura de Laura Restrepo y Nuestra señora de la noche de Mayra Santos-Febres
Authors: Apodaca Valdez Manuel
Published: January 2023

El presente es un estudio comparativo de dos novelas históricas La novia oscura (1999) de Laura Restrepo y Nuestra señora de la noche (2006) de Mayra Santos-Febres. El estudio explora las características narrativas de la novela histórica escrita por mujeres latinoamericanas en la posmodernidad, sus semejanzas temáticas y estilísticas y las condiciones histórico-culturales en que se desarrollan los hechos. De igual manera, se aborda el madrinazgo entre las trabajadoras sexuales como un paliativo para los hijos abandonados, lo cual ofrece un punto de vista subjetivo, femenino anteriores y en otras regiones del mundo.
Efraím Medina: narcisismo y provocación. ¿Atajos para un nuevo canon narrativo?
Authors: López Castaño Óscar R.
Published: January 2023

El presente trabajo se ocupa de la producción literaria de Efraím Medina. Es un ejercicio de interpretación que va y viene en torno al funcionamiento de la estética del autor. Se trata de analizar una obra que pone en duda el éxito de autores del canon de la escritura moderna en América Latina y algunos de sus presupuestos culturales y logros estéticos, y que ofrece manifestaciones de abierta rebeldía contra un orden que parece no funcionar, lo que podría enmarcarse dentro de los alegatos posmodernos. ¿Qué busca Efraím Medina con su actitud provocadora y díscola? El desarrollo del trabajo apunta a esclarecer su postura estética, la cual es consistente con actitudes y prácticas vitales expresadas por el autor en la vida histórica.
La transgresión como objetivo en dos novelas de Jorge Franco: Melodrama y Santa suerte
Authors: Ponce de León Gina
Published: January 2023

Las novelas Melodrama (2006) y Santa suerte (2010) de Jorge Franco presentan caracteres femeninos que llegan a extremos a los que los ha llevado el medio en que viven. La representación de la mujer en estas dos novelas se encuentra fuera de lo común y la sitúa en un espacio que podemos considerar fronterizo; es una frontera desconocida, pero reveladora de la época contemporánea. Las mujeres representadas trabajan para sobrevivir, y su historia personal se puede considerar frecuente en la vida diaria. Estas novelas nos proporcionan un espacio en el que podemos situar la crítica poscolonial, debido a que la caracterización femenina nos lleva a la consideración de una clase marginada que ha sido dominada mediante el poder y la jerarquización de nuestra cultura. Estas mujeres establecen una identidad nueva, una identidad que las sitúa en el reconocimiento de su fuerza irreconciliable con la sociedad que todavía las subyuga. Lo que nos motiva a analizar esta representación es la fuerza de su perfil y la caracterización que se establece de un grupo cultural que ha sido asfixiado hasta los niveles que observamos en esta narrativa.
