A Novel Seventh-Order Implicit Block Hybrid Nyström-Type Method for Second- Order Boundary Value Problems
Authors: Ajinuhi Joel Olusegun , Mohammed Umaru , Enagi Abdullah Idris , Razaq Jimoh Omananyi
Published: November 2023

This paper introduces a novel approach for solving second-order nonlinear differential equations, with a primary focus on the Bratu problem, which holds significant importance in diverse scientific areas. Existing methods for solving this problem have limitations, prompting the development of the Block Hybrid Nystrom-Type Method (BHNTM). BHNTM utilizes the Bhaskara points derived, using the Bhaskara cosine approximation formula. The method seeks a numerical solution in the form of a power series polynomial, efficiently determining coefficients. The paper discusses BHNTM’s convergence, zero stability, and consistency properties, substantiated through numerical experiments, highlighting its accuracy as a solver for Bratu-type equations. This research contributes to the field of numerical analysis by offering an alternative, effective approach to tackle complex second-order nonlinear differential equations, addressing critical challenges in various scientific domains.
Improving South African Masonry Construction Industry
Authors: Khuzwayo Bonga , Walker Mark , Graham Bruce
Published: November 2023

Given the current state of the masonry construction industry (MCI) in South Africa (SA), this study is long overdue. The issues that require immediate attention are: (1) noncompliance; (2) unethical behaviour and (3) lack of knowledge. Evidence to be presented later demonstrates that not all designers and contractors adhere to building policies, regulations and standards. As the demand for buildings constructed of masonry increases significantly over the next few decades, an intolerably high level of adverse overall impact will result. The study’s aim is to propose a first step toward a remedy strategy to improve the SA MCI’s current state. The objectives are to: (1) present through already published case studies and reports how lack of compliance, ethics and knowledge affects the MCI and (2) suggest recommendations to improve the situation. The study concludes that compliance (predominantly), ethics and knowledge need to be improved in MCI. The study identifies how SA government can improve MCI by systematically implementing ISO 9001: 2015 to improve (1) compliance, (2) ethical behaviour and (3) knowledge in MCI.

Published: November 2023

Introducción: El objetivo silvícola de las podas es la producción de madera libre de nudos; sin embargo, estas pueden afectar el crecimiento de los árboles de edad temprana. Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de cuatro intensidades de poda en una plantación de Pinus patula Schiede ex Schltdl. & Cham. de siete años.Materiales y métodos: Se utilizó un diseño experimental al azar con 12 parcelas (cuatro tratamientos y tres repeticiones); en total se muestrearon 48 árboles. Los tratamientos de poda fueron: 1) sin poda, 2) poda del tercio inferior de la copa, 3) poda de la mitad inferior de la copa y 4) poda de los dos tercios inferiores de la copa del árbol. El crecimiento y el número de brotes epicórmicos se midieron un año después de la poda.Resultados y discusión: El análisis de varianza demostró efecto significativo (P < 0.05) de la intensidad de poda sobre las variables evaluadas. La poda del tercio inferior de la copa fue el tratamiento que generó menor cantidad de brotes epicórmicos y mayor incremento en altura, diámetro y volumen, mientras que la poda de mayor intensidad (dos tercios inferiores de la copa) tuvo el efecto contrario.Conclusión: La poda más intensa afecta negativamente el crecimiento de los árboles de P. patula en etapas tempranas de desarrollo.

Published: November 2023

Os idosos e pacientes com comorbidades foram identificados com risco elevado para forma grave da COVID-19. Objetivo: investigar o papel do estado nutricional nos desfechos clínicos de idosos com COVID-19 sob cuidados intensivos. Método: estudo longitudinal, retrospectivo, observacional e analítico. Foram incluídos idosos, com COVID-19, admitidos nos setores de UTI e box de emergências de um hospital público referência para o tratamento de COVID-19. A regressão de Poisson foi utilizada para verificar associação do risco nutricional inadequado com os desfechos apresentados. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 153 idosos, sendo 58% do sexo masculino. Distúrbios nutricionais prévios interferiram nos desfechos clínicos, pacientes com excesso de peso apresentaram maior risco de necessitarem de ventilação mecânica (RR: 2,15; IC95%: 1,01-4,57; p= 0,044), porém os que possuíam desnutrição evoluíram mais para óbito. 66,3% dos pacientes sem excesso de peso e 33,63% com excesso de peso foram a óbito. Entretanto, não houve associação entre o excesso de peso e óbitos em idosos internados com COVID-19 (p=0,119). Conclusão: verificou-se que o estado nutricional inadequado tanto sobrepeso/obesidade quanto a desnutrição podem contribuir para desfechos desfavoráveis, como necessidade de ventilação mecânica e óbito, respectivamente. Tais achados reforçam a necessidade de mais estudos que esclareçam o papel do estado nutricional nos desfechos clínicos do COVID-19.

Abstract. In situ meteorological data are essential to better understand ongoing environmental changes in the Arctic. Here, we present a dataset of quality-controlled meteorological observations from two automatic weather stations in northwest Greenland from July 2012 to the end of August 2020. The stations were installed in the accumulation area on the Greenland Ice Sheet (SIGMA-A site, 1490 m a.s.l.) and near the equilibrium line of the Qaanaaq Ice Cap (SIGMA-B site, 944 m a.s.l.). We describe the two-step sequence of quality-controlling procedures that we used to create increasingly reliable datasets by masking erroneous data records. Those datasets are archived in the Arctic Data archive System (ADS) (SIGMA-A – https://doi.org/10.17592/001.2022041303, Nishimura et al., 2023f; SIGMA-B – https://doi.org/10.17592/001.2022041306, Nishimura et al., 2023c). We analyzed the resulting 2012–2020 time series of air temperature, surface height, and surface albedo and histograms of longwave radiation (a proxy of cloudiness). We found that surface height increased, and no significant albedo decline in summer was observed at the SIGMA-A site. In contrast, high air temperatures and frequent clear-sky conditions in the summers of 2015, 2019, and 2020 at the SIGMA-B site caused significant albedo and surface lowering. Therefore, it appears that these weather condition differences led to the apparent surface height decrease at the SIGMA-B site but not at the SIGMA-A site. We anticipate that this quality-controlling method and these datasets will aid in climate studies of northwest Greenland and will contribute to the advancement of broader polar climate studies.

The spatial distribution of atmospheric precipitation in the basin of the transboundary Zeravshan River and the contribution of precipitation and glacial meltwater to the formation of the river runoff within the Republic of Tajikistan are considered. It has been found that the average integral change in the amount of precipitation in the Zeravshan River basin for the period of 1940-2020 was 20 mm/10 years. The maximum volume of the glacial meltwater in the Zeravshan River fell on the third quarter (June-August) and was equal to 3.11 km3 or 60% of the average annual river runoff, and 0.39, 0.70, and 0.96 km3 of the runoff was formed in the first, second, and fourth quarters, respectively.
Ksiądz prałat. Wspomnienie o ks. infułacie Kazimierzu Figlewiczu (1903-1983)
Authors: Rożek Michał
Published: November 2023

23 września 1983 r. zmarł w wieku 81 lat ks. prałat mitrat Kazimierz Figlewicz (1903-1983), archidiakon Kapituły Metropolitalnej Krakowskiej i proboszcz Katedry Wawelskiej. Wraz z jego śmiercią zamknęła się cała karta historii Wawelu i Krakowa.Ks. Figlewicz urodził się w pobliżu katedry. Wierne dziecko Krakowa, kochał swoje miasto, które zawsze było odbiciem naszej narodowej tożsamości, a którego duchowy klimat i rodzinne wychowanie wywarły silny wpływ na jego dalsze losy. Po wstąpieniu do seminarium i przyjęciu święceń kapłańskich w 1925 r. był kolejno wikariuszem w Ruszczy (1926-1930), a następnie w Wadowicach (1930-1933), gdzie poznał młodego chórzystę Karola Wojtyłę. Przyjaźń między nimi przerwała dopiero śmierć prałata. W 1933 r. abp Adam Sapieha powołał go do Katedry Wawelskiej, którą to funkcję pełnił przez pół wieku i którą poczytywał sobie za wielki zaszczyt, stając się w międzyczasie wybitnym znawcą tego przesiąkniętego historią sanktuarium i jednocześnie służby Bożej. Z przykładnym poświęceniem był zawsze gotowy do oprowadzania gości i parafian, nie zaniedbując przy tym swoich obowiązków proboszcza. Papież Jan Paweł II lepiej niż ktokolwiek inny podkreślił znaczenie tego trudnego życia w telegramie kondolencyjnym: "Modlitwą jestem obecny przy trumnie Księdza Prałata Figlewicza, który jako opiekun Katedry Wawelskiej był do niej bardzo przywiązany. Dał nam przykład kapłana w służbie Bogu, Ojczyźnie i tej katedrze. Mam wobec niego ogromny dług moralny, bo udzielił mi nieocenionej pomocy, gdy moje powołanie kapłańskie stało się jasne. Jestem wdzięczny za wszystko, co mu zawdzięczamy i razem z wami polecam jego duszę Bogu".

Kronika benedyktynek ormiańskich
Authors: Augustynowicz-Ciecierska Henryka , Sczaniecki Paweł
Published: November 2023

Ojciec Sadok Barącz, dominikanin ormiańskiego pochodzenia, podjął się wielu badań nad Ormianami i ich historią w ówczesnej Polsce. Jego zasługa polega na tym, że opublikował źródła, które wcześniej sklasyfikował i spisał w bardzo osobisty sposób. W szczególności jego pisma pokrywają się z kroniką klasztoru ormiańskich zakonnic we Lwowie, która obecnie zaginęła. Tekst kroniki rzeczywiście został "okrojony", ale jest prawdopodobne, że główne informacje nie zostały zmienione. Poczyniwszy to zastrzeżenie, kronika rzuca nieco światła na historię klasztoru, zanim arcybiskupi lwowscy zreorganizowali go i włączyli do Kościoła rzymskiego. Postać siostry Rypsymy Spendowskiej, Ormianki, która była wówczas przeoryszą, "przeżyła te zmiany, podobnie jak benedyktynki obrządku łacińskiego". Pisma Rarącza stanowią malownicze tło dla życia tych zakonnic, które przyjęły nazwę benedyktynek obrządku ormiańskiego. Zmiany dotknęły między innymi budynku kultu tej niewielkiej wspólnoty. Kronika przedstawia zakonnice na różnych szczeblach hierarchii, odzwierciedlając ich klasztorne życie, ale także ich otwartość na rodaków i katedrę, duchowieństwo i arcybiskupa, a także na wydarzenia w mieście i kraju, nie wspominając o epidemiach, pożarach i wojnach.Barącz szczególnie interesował się Ormianami w Polsce przed rozbiorami w latach 1771-1772. Z kroniki korzystał głównie w tym okresie, gdyż dla okresu późniejszego, sięgającego połowy XIX w., jego tekst jest zbyt lakoniczny, by na jego podstawie rekonstruować dzieje lwowskich benedyktynek ormiańskich. Prowadziły one w tym czasie szkołę dla dziewcząt, a ten drugi okres wymaga zbadania innych źródeł w celu uzyskania dodatkowych informacji na temat ich historii.

Introduction: The aging process in human lifenormally causes a decrease of brain function and especially a change in memory capacity. Memory decline happens only in certain aspects of memory, such as the ability to receive information (acquisition) and rediscover the new information. One of the influencing factors is the fulfiment of sleeping at the night. Objective: This research aims at determining the relationship between the fulfilment of sleeping and memory loss in the elderly people. Methods: The research method is correlation analytic design using crossectional approach, and its population are 46 respondents. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The data is collected from respondents using questionnaires and interviews, then the results is analyzed Spearman test with degrees of significance (α <0.05) uses SPSS 16.0. Result: The results show that the respondents whom have a high fulfilment of sleep are 22 respondents (67%) and 18 respondents (55%) have cognitive impairment, the value of ρ = 0.000 (α <0.05) and the value of r = 0.763, this indicates that there is a relationship between the fulfilment of sleeping need and memory decline on the elderly people. Conclusions: The study concludes that the fulfillment of sleeping needs has a significant relationship with memory decline in the elderly. Therefore, there are some treatments which can be done such as involving the elderly to read, write, and discuss in groups, take a walk in the morning for 15 minutes and to encourage them to get enough sleep the night ± 5-6 hours a day.

Published: November 2023

Landslides and rockfalls are one of the most widespread hazardous phenomena in the Western Rhodopes, Bulgaria. These mass-wasting types occur together with other dangerous phenomena such as river bank erosion and soil degradation, and can cause a lot of infrastructural damage. The main purpose of this paper is to perform GIS-based landslide and rockfall susceptibility zoning and to elaborate susceptibility maps at a scale of а river basin on the example of the Chepelarska River Basin (RB). In order to achieve this goal, nine causal factors have been selected, and map of landslides and field study have been used. These factors were reclassified using histograms and the natural breaks method. In addition, the frequency ratio values of each class have been calculated. To obtain the causal factors impact on sliding and rockfalls, the weights and weighted averages sum of their classes were calculated and analysed. For the complex analysis and elaboration of mass-wasting susceptibility maps, weighted overlay and weighted sum methods have been applied. The obtained results show that from the total 38 landslides and rockfalls in the study area, 26 of them fall into the very high susceptibility zone applying a weighted overlay, and 25 of them fall into the same zone using the weighted sum method. These results and the used methods could be used for other small and medium-sized river basins.
Impact of Homoeopathy in Managing the Possible Effects of Prolonged Facemask Usage in Frontline Workers During COVID-19 – Pilot Study
Authors: Sneha Y. Lavanya , Balla Neil Praisy
Published: November 2023

This study examined the impact of extended face mask use on frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and assessed the efficacy of homeopathic treatment in managing associated symptoms. The study was conducted as soon as the lockdown was declared. The research focused on frontline workers aged 25-50 who routinely wore masks for over 6 hours. Initially, participants completed a questionnaire to grade the severity of their symptoms. Subsequently, they received homeopathic treatment based on individual symptoms, with follow-up assessments conducted every 15 days. After two follow-up sessions, participants once again graded their symptoms using the questionnaire. Statistical analysis unveiled a remarkably significant reduction in symptoms with homeopathic intervention.
In conclusion, this study showed how significantly homoeopathy can help frontline workers with the symptoms associated with prolonged mask use. Since there have been no earlier clinical trials evaluating the possibility of homoeopathic remedies in these circumstances, this research is notable for being the first of its type. Homeopathy's individualized approach, found on the "Similia Similibus Curantur" principle, seemed to provide significant relief from the physiological and pathological burdens brought on by extended mask use. This provides a potential strategy for managing the health issues experienced by frontline workers during the pandemic, enhancing their general wellbeing and productivity at work.

Authors: Gupta Monika , Kumari Harsh , Sindhu Anjali
Published: November 2023

Hematological malignancies may manifest as extramedullary soft tissue masses causing significant diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We herein report a case of 25-year-old male who presented with pain abdomen and lymphadenopathy, with no previous history of any haematological abnormality. A lymph node excision biopsy was conducted with simultaneous haematological work up. The case was finally diagnosed as extramedullary myeloid sarcoma in lymph node in newly detected case of CML in chronic phase.
Myeloid sarcomas (MS), may occur in isolation, or more commonly in patients with a history of myeloid malignancy. MS is an uncommon condition and exact mechanism of occurrence is unclear. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any atypical cellular infiltrate at any site. In all cases a thorough, diagnostic work-up including genetic profiling is important to stratify risk and guide treatment strategies.

Published: November 2023

Religious tourism in India has witnessed significant growth over the years, with an increasing number of women participating in such travel experiences. Despite the patriarchal and male-dominated orientation of Indian society, women have been actively engaging in religious tours, both as part of group travel and independently. In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a noticeable rise in women travelling in small groups or embarking on solo religious journeys.

This study aims to explore the socioeconomic implications of religious tourism from the perspective of Indian women. By analysing personal experiences, beliefs, encountered challenges, and proposed solutions, the research sheds light on the economic and social aspects of women's religious tourism in the Indian context. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire administered to female tourists who have independently undertaken religious tours. The study employs an empirical approach to provide insights into the changing dynamics of female participation in religious tourism and offers valuable perspectives for policymakers.

The findings reveal significant structural changes taking place in India, particularly concerning the increased participation of women in religious tourism. The study uncovers key insights into the economic and social implications of religious tourism for women, highlighting the challenges they face and their expectations from policymakers. By addressing the previously neglected issues specific to women travellers in previous research, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the motivations and experiences of female tourists.
Medical-veterinary and economic importance of the Tabanidae family
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: November 2023

The Tabanidae females of these insects present several adaptations related to the hematophagous habit, which increase their potential as vectors of infectious agents. Among these adaptations, anautogeny, telmophagy, the large volume of blood meal, the longtime of blood meal, and the interruption of feeding are highlighted. It is emphasized that these insects are important because, in addition to bothering humans by attacking them in search of a blood meal, they are potential transmitters of diseases to animals and humans, being capable of mechanically transporting viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and helminths, through the fact that these pathogens adhere to the structure of the proboscis. The objective of the article is to verify the medical-veterinary and economic importance of the Tabanidae family. The methodological basis of the present work consists of bibliographical research of scientific articles published in national and international academic journals classified by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).

Biodiesel production via transesterification reaction
Authors: Ravindra B. Malabadi  , Sadiya MR  , Kiran P. Kolkar  , Raju K. Chalannavar
Published: November 2023

Global warming, climate change, local air pollution, ozone depletion, acid rain and depletion of fossil fuel are the major global environmental issues. Presently, non-renewable fossil fuels meet up to 80% of the world’s energy demand. Rapid consumption of fossil fuels as well as rising environmental pollution caused by extreme CO2 emissions, sulphur dioxide, and aromatic hydrocarbons has become crucial in searching for a clean and renewable energy source such as biodiesel. With continuous growth in the world’s population, rapid industrialization, urbanization, and economic growth, fossil fuel consumption is escalating to meet the global energy demand. Biodiesel is renewable, non-toxic, environment-friendly and an economically feasible options to tackle the depleting fossil fuels and its negative environmental impact. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel made by transesterification reaction of oil and alcohol under the influence of catalyst. Biodiesel is an alcoholic ester of various fatty acids, also known as FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters). In the process of transesterification, the performance of the catalyst is the key factor of the biodiesel yield. Catalysts used in biodiesel production are classified as homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzymatic catalysts. The incorporation of a catalysis-based transesterification reaction generally increases the rate of reaction and enhances the yield of the end product. In case of homogeneous catalysts, there are problems of catalyst poisoning and contamination. Heterogeneous acid catalysis has a lesser toxic effect and gives rise to fewer environmental problems compared to the homogeneous mode. The cost of each specific catalyst depends on various factors, including the source, synthesis method, and its reusability. Generally, using waste or biomass as sources of catalysts may reduce the price of commercially available solid catalysts.

"Recuperar mi gravedad" entre el Origen y lo Originario: La espiritualidad como proyecto originario de la "religatio" en la dinamicidad de la comunión y la participación
Authors: Ofilada Mina Macario
Published: November 2023

Este ensayo es un estudio programático con la finalidad de proponer un nuevo modelo por la comprensión y desarrollo de la espiritualidad.  Empleando la noción clave de ‘Religatio’, desde una inspiración agustiniana, la espiritualidad se presenta como un proyecto en la historia, partiendo del Misterio, que es origen y originario (o el mismo origen al final y como meta) tras la experiencia enriquecedora, que es mediación.  El resultado es una presentación vigorosa de la esencia de la espiritualidad en su pretensión metafísica, realización histórica y mediación sacramentológica o experiencial.  Todo ello abrirá nuevos horizontes de comprensión.

Authors: Carvalho Ricardo de Souza , Rangel Isabelle de Carvalho , Soane Michel Moraes , Lopes Márcia Quinhones Pires , Ferry Fernando Raphael de Almeida
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Previous retrospective studies have demonstrated that the concentration of chemokine ligand CXCL13 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF-CXCL13) is a promising biomarker in the diagnosis of neurosyphilis and, additionally, in the monitoring of therapeutic efficacy. Objective: To describe three cases of patients with neurosyphilis (NS) treated at Hospital Universitário Gaffrée e Guinle, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with suspected active syphilis with neurological symptoms. Case report: Three patients from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were investigated for symptomatic NS. The concentration of CSF-CXCL13 was prospectively performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in all participants at baseline and in follow-up visits at 3 months after therapy. CSF-CXCL13 concentrations were significantly higher in all three patients with established NS. The CSF-CXCL13 concentrations decreased after 3 months of therapy compared to baseline in all cases reported. The added high concentration of CSF-CXCL13 plus CSF-TPHA reactivity above 1:40 titer agreed with the diagnosis of NS in 100% of the cases. Conclusion: In this case series, we present three cases of NS diagnosed using CXCL13 in CSF as a complementary test. These case series suggest that the clinical use of CSF-CXCL13 is useful as a supplementary biomarker for NS and for monitoring the effectiveness of NS therapy, especially in patients with nonreactive CSF-VDRL, excluding other neurologic diseases.
