Indo-Africa relations steeped back into centuries of shared historical experiences. Underscoring Africa’s importance, India instituted the India-Africa Summits as a platform to advance relations between the two partners. Given rising optimism of economic re-opening following the Covid-19 pandemic induced global lockdown, India has the opportunity to reinvent her relationships with Africa by deepening existing collaborations and breaking new frontiers. To this end, this article discusses the politics of Indo-Africa’s relations and advance the need to forge closer beneficial relations between India and Africa by looking together to the future in a post-Covid-19 world.
A comparative overview of Brazil and South Africa’s BRICS Agendas, 2011-2017
Authors: Gomes da Costa Murilo
Published: August 2022

This paper presents a comparative overview of Brazil and South African diplomacy towards the BRICS group in the period 2011-2017. Using the conceptual framework from the regional power studies, we present Dilma’s Rousseff (2011-2016) and Zuma’s (2009-2018) diplomacy towards BRIC/BRICS, seeking to understand their roles and contributions in broadening the group’s thematic agendas. In addition, we also present a timeline of the BRICS creation and institutionalization throughout its annual summits. The main sources of this research were both Brazil and South Africa’s online archives and documents on foreign affairs, as well as the specialized literature from the International Relations and Political Science field. We conclude that both Brazil and South Africa’s diplomacies towards the BRICS were part of the relational dimension of both regional powers in search for international protagonism. On the other hand, at the systemic level, it was a matter of bringing innovation to the South-South Cooperation field, promoting multilateralism, and contributing to the construction of a more diverse and inclusive international order.
Efficacy of Lockdowns in Africa
Authors: Makumbe Daglous
Published: August 2022

The novel coronavirus has rocked the world, unleashing disease, deaths and a social quagmire. The catastrophic implications of the pandemic have pushed states on the brink forcing most of them to institute country lockdowns in a bid to flatten the curve of infections, avoid new ones and ensuring that the health systems are not overwhelmed at any one point in time. More than ninety per cent of states went on lockdowns, leading to corrosive effects on their economies. The death toll in Asia and Europe was astronomical, whilst that of the United States of America, Brazil and India was unprecedented. Except for a few countries in Europe and Africa that did not act homogeneously, the rest of the world ceased to function. Whilst lockdowns were effective in western countries, in the African continent, it was a different case. Although there was a willingness to institute lockdowns in Africa, the context made it almost impossible for many countries to effectively and efficiently do so. These factors which hampered the workability of lockdowns included high informal employment rates, informal settlements, rampant homelessness, porous borders, a high population density, institutions with vulnerable populations as well as conflict settings. This paper discusses in detail the research findings of the author on the efficacy of lockdowns in Africa utilising the idealism theory. The importance of the study is to equip policymakers with better strategies to make lockdowns more effective through the dissection of problems discovered in the research findings. The paper’s findings are that lockdowns are difficult to adhere to in the African context, should be context-bound and must be buttressed by government efforts and interventions for them to be effective.

Published: August 2022

The article discusses the basic principles of the implementation of DATA SCIENCE technologies in the framework of scientific and practical aspects. It is noted that the functioning of DATA SCIENCE technologies is always implemented in conditions of uncertainty and diversity of data and knowledge. It is shown that one of the basic principles of DATA SCIENCE technologies in conditions of uncertainty is the principle of regularization of data spaces and solutions. To regularize the unified information space of applied problems, regularization is proposed by means of multidimensional hierarchical scaling, which is provided by the use of special types of scales with dynamic constraints. The implementation of such scaling is based on Bayesian intelligent technologies. It is also shown that data science is interdisciplinary, an important component of the set of disciplines is the metrology of data and knowledge. The methodology and technologies of metrological substantiation of data and knowledge are presented. Complexes of metrological characteristics are proposed, including indicators of accuracy, reliability, reliability, risk of decisions, the amount of information received and/or entropy. Practical examples of the use of these technologies are given.

The article presented here utilizes the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and water cycle algorithm (WCA) based dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) to augment the low voltage ride through (LVRT) performance of a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES). Moreover, FACT equipment like the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is deployed to boost the quick responsiveness of compensation and good transient performance of HRES. Due to numerous disturbances brought on by WECS' nonlinearity, the best tuning of a PI controller for DVR control is investigated to match the LVRT requirement of the HRES. The design incorporates a battery energy storage system (BESS) that is connected over the DC terminals of the DVR to improve the compensating capabilities by regulating the D-Q axis voltage signal to control the voltage source converter gate signals. In comparison to DVR alone, the suggested technique increases the DC-link voltage and PCC voltage by 44% and 4.6 %, respectively. MATLAB simulation results show that the BESS-enabled PSO DVR performs better in all respect for the compensation of voltage sag and makes the system self-LVRT capable.

We have developed a fuzzy logic framework to simulate self-awareness in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that envisages data transmission losses due to abnormalities in the operating environment. Fuzzy logic is selected to model the awareness, because it requires less data to encode, and occupies less memory, making it suitable for sensor nodes with limited resources. We view WSN as a multi-layered infrastructure, where a central-server in the top-layer manages the gateways in the intermediate-layer, and the gateways are aggregating the raw sensed data from the bottom layer’s sensors. The self-awareness is simulated using Mamdani Fuzzy inference system (FIS) that utilizes a custom-defined membership functions of the selected parameters, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and battery residual-level to guide WSN through its data transmissions. The input and output parameters are defined with three linguistic variables (low, medium and high) and a predetermined set of rules is applied to the selected FIS to determine the impact level. The impact is mapped into packet error rate and the gateway then decides whether to carry out the data transmissions while being aware of the selected uncertainties and their impact. The experimental results on a multivariate dataset integrating real-time meteorological data with randomly generated battery voltage revealed that the proposed FIS framework demonstrated 38% energy savings by non-executing unworthy communications against normal transmissions.

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a common risk factor for vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The previous studies have shown that CCH-induced multiple AD-like pathological changes in the hippocampus and cortex through downregulating the microRNA-195 (miR-195) expression. However, whether and how miR-195 participates in the dysfunction of the medial septum (MS)-dorsal hippocampal CA1 (dCA1) neural circuit following CCH is still obscure. In the present study, we found that miR-195 was downregulated in the MS region of CCH rats. Moreover, using electrophysiological recording and immunofluorescence staining technique, we found that the knockdown of miR-195 through the injection of lenti- AMO-195 into the MS region led to a pathological change that mimicked the damage to the MS-dCA1 neural circuit in CCH rats, including the decreased input-output (I/O) curve, increased paired-pulse ratio (PPR), decreased numbers of ChAT+ and PV+ neurons in MS, and diminished theta rhythm in the hippocampus. More importantly, exogenously supplemented miR-195 into the MS region rescued the damaged neural circuit in MS-dCA1 of CCH rats by injecting lenti-pre-miR-195. Gain-of-function of miR-195 in the MS region significantly improved the cognitive dysfunction in CCH rats assessed by the Morris water maze test. In conclusion, knockdown of miR-195 in the MS region can impair MS-dCA1 neural circuit function, while upregulation of miR- 195 can rescue the impaired function of MS-dCA1 neural circuit and spatial memory ability in CCH rats. This provides a valuable reference for future anti-dementia therapy involving miR-195.
NMDA receptors: Biological properties and their roles in neuropsychiatric disorders
Authors: Li Qing-Qing , Lin Xiao , Shi Yun Stone
Published: August 2022

Proper signal transmission is the fundamental process of the brain activity. Changes and adaption of neuroplasticity based on the strength of synaptic transmission are essential for the information propagation in the central nervous system, which contribute to cognition, learning, and memory. Being the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, glutamate acts primarily through binding to the glutamate receptors, the glutamate-gated ion channels localized on post-synaptic membrane. The ionotropic glutamate receptors, pharmacologically grouped into α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptors, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors, and kainate receptors, have been shown to play distinct roles in excitatory neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. Due to their high permeability to Ca2+, the NMDA receptors have very unique function in neurotransmission and particular importance in the induction of long-term synaptic plasticity. Dysfunction of NMDA receptors causes impairment in synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. In recent years, with the development of genome-wide association studies and next-generation sequencing technology, mutations of NMDA receptor subunits have been in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders, such as cognitive impairment, schizophrenia, autism or epilepsy. In clinical practice, NMDA receptors are known as the targets for the treatment of many neuropsychiatric disorders. In current review, we summarize current knowledge of NMDA receptors with different subunit compositions in the context of expression pattern, channel properties, protein trafficking, and synaptic plasticity as well as their roles in neuropsychiatric disorders.
Cystic hygroma in a young adult: A case report and recent management
Authors: Kadam Sachin S. , Kadam Tejaswini
Published: August 2022

We are reporting a case of a 27-year-old young female who presented with right side neck swelling without any associated obstructive symptoms and any other grave signs and symptoms. She noticed a gradual increase in the size of the swelling within a period of 2 years. After investigation and surgical excision, the swelling was diagnosed as cystic hygroma. The root cause of the development of cervical lymphangioma is the congenital malformation of the developing lymphatic system. Cystic hygroma is benign in nature and the cause in adults is still unclear. The most common site of origin is in head and neck region, and cystic hygroma accounts for 75% of lymphatic malformations. The most common presentation of cystic hygroma is painless swelling with ill-defined lesion, most commonly located at the posterior triangle of the neck. The common age group is between birth and 2 years of age, with very rare presentation in adults. Hence, it is necessary to rule out all differential diagnosis of cervical lymphangioma, which is presented with cystic neck swelling. Complete surgical excision is the recommended standard treatment.

Authors: Pacheco-Baldó Rosa María
Published: August 2022

This paper analyses the negative reviews that some users of social services in New York and Madrid posted on Google. The aim is to relate the impoliteness strategies that the users of these centres reported to have received or that they issued themselves with the cultural values of the groups they belong to. To achieve this, twenty American and Spanish centres were analysed, obtaining more than two hundred negative comments that, qualitatively and quantitatively analysed, were related to impoliteness strategies. These impoliteness strategies were linked to the four social characteristics already presented in a previous study. Also, the chi-square formula was applied to the data. Thus, this study has shown that the use that speakers make of impoliteness strategies is related to the cultural values of the group they belong to.

Authors: Nwankwo Nonyelum Stella
Published: August 2022

This study investigated ways to boost students' academic interest and involvement in health education. The study was designed using survey methods. Two research questions and hypotheses were explored to achieve the research goal. The study's population included thirty (30) government secondary school health education teachers and sixteen (16) private secondary school health education teachers in Anambra State's Ogidi Education Zone, with no sampling due to the study's manageable size. Data was collected using a standardized 20-item questionnaire that two experts thoroughly verified. Mean scores and standard deviation were used for the research questions, and a t-test was used for the hypotheses. The study's main findings revealed that students' perceived academic motivation and participation in health education are unaffected by the type of school they attend (public or private). According to the research, there is no substantial difference in the types of schools that students attend (public and private). According to the findings, teachers should establish an active learning environment that increases students' perceived autonomy by giving them choices and chances for self-directed learning, which may improve their motivation and engagement.

Stakeholder tourism development has revolved around the sustainable branding concept and brand engagement challenges. Addressing concerns on branding and sustainability, this study aims to investigate the stakeholder destination image (socioenvironment, infrastructure, natural and cultural
resources, and pleasant atmosphere) impact on destination brand (brand meaning, presented brand, brand awareness, and brand equity) with the mediating role of stakeholder brand engagement (behavioral, affective and cognitive). We draw on the self-congruity theory to develop hypotheses and
collect data from different stakeholder groups (local people, visitors, and entrepreneurs) (N = 350). Structural equation modeling with second-order analysis was undertaken using SmartPLS 3.3.9. Our results show the significance of stakeholder destination image in positively building
destination brand. The results also showed that stakeholder brand engagement partially mediates between destination image and destination brand. Our study provides implications for theory and practice.

Abstract

 

Hotspot analysis at PMS Substation 150 kV Rawadenok Depok using the thermovision method was initiated based on hotspot events on Contact Finger phase S and Disconnecting Switch phase S. This analysis uses the Thermovisi Flir 400 tool as a means of checking high current temperatures that occur in Contact Finger phase S and Disconnecting Switches. The function of this thermovision is to measure the value of the ratio of the energy radiated by an object to the energy radiated by a black body at the same temperature and wave. Then measure the accuracy of Thermovisi starting from the value when checking, testing emissivity values, precision test values, accuracy values and repairs at hotspot points. From the results of the calculation of thermovision accuracy at Bay Cimanggis 1 & 2, it can be concluded that the temperature of the clamps and conductors shows that the conditions are still good. Where the RSM value of 27 samples is 0.4751, and has a coefficient variation (CV) of 0.1% and is categorized as good with a reference of no more than 2%, and has an accuracy value of 97.51%. Prior to the improvement of the hotspot points on Contact Finger it reached 115 oC and the DS Line S phase reached 103 oC after the temperature improvement returned to normal with Contact Finger reaching 36

oC and the DS Line S phase reaching 31.2 oC.

A personalized molecular approach in multiple myeloma: the possible use of RAF/RAS/MEK/ERK and BCL-2 inhibitors
Authors: Raimondi Vincenzo , Iannozzi Nicolas Thomas , Burroughs-Garcìa Jessica , Toscani Denise , Storti Paola , Giuliani Nicola
Published: August 2022

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that derives from plasma cells (PCs), which will accumulate in the bone marrow (BM). Over time, several drugs have been developed to treat this disease that is still uncurable. The therapies used to treat the disease target immune activity, inhibit proteasome activity, and involve the use of monoclonal antibodies. However, MM is a highly heterogeneous disease, in fact, there are several mutations in signaling pathways that are particularly important for MM cell biology and that are possible therapeutic targets. Indeed, some studies suggest that MM is driven by mutations within the rat sarcoma virus (RAS) signaling cascade, which regulates cell survival and proliferation. The RAS/proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (RAF)/mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK)/ERK signaling pathway is deregulated in several cancers, for which drugs have been developed to inhibit these pathways. In addition to the signaling pathways, the disease implements mechanisms to ensure the survival and consequently a high replicative capacity. This strategy consists in the deregulation of apoptosis. In particular, some cases of MM show overexpression of anti-apoptotic proteins belonging to the B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) family that represent a possible druggable target. Venetoclax is an anti-BCL-2 molecule used in hematological malignancies that may be used in selected MM patients based on their molecular profile. We focused on the possible effects in MM of off-label drugs that are currently used for other cancers with the same molecular characteristics. Their use, combined with the current treatments, could be a good strategy against MM.

Published: August 2022

Trust plays an important role in social media communication. For companies, trust is an important determinant of successful online communication. Thus, there is a pressing need to understand consumers’ trust in the socially mediated environment This paper presents a research study focused on modelling trust dimensions on social media. The main objective of this research is to identify which dimensions of trust play the most significant role in building trust in communication on social media. The second objective is focused on the development and validation of the five-factor trust measurement scale. A questionnaire survey (n=1000) was used as a tool to gather data. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis and modelling. The research findings provide a deeper understanding of the factors that influence trust in the context of social media communication and expand existing knowledge. The conducted research uncovers the main trust dimensions that can be used to influence consumers’ attitudes toward companies operating online. Our model can help companies shape their communication to the right tone by highlighting the crucial factors that have a direct influence on trust.

The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution by providing new opportunities to discover young exoplanets. A young association was recently identified by Tang et al. and Fürnkranz et al. using astrometry from Gaia (called “Group-X” by the former). In this work, we investigate the age and membership of this association, and we validate the exoplanet TOI 2048 b, which was identified to transit a young, late G dwarf in Group-X using photometry from TESS. We first identified new candidate members of Group-X using Gaia EDR3 data. To infer the age of the association, we measured rotation periods for candidate members using TESS data. The clear color–period sequence indicates that the association is the same age as the 300 ± 50 Myr old NGC 3532. We obtained optical spectra for candidate members that show lithium absorption consistent with this young age. Further, we serendipitously identify a new, small association nearby Group-X, which we call MELANGE-2. Lastly, we statistically validate TOI 2048 b, which is a 2.1 ± 0.2 R
⊕ radius planet on a 13.8-day orbit around its 300 Myr old host star.

Published: August 2022

We present an analysis of the kinematics of the Radcliffe Wave, a 2.7 kpc long sinusoidal band of molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood recently detected via 3D dust mapping. With Gaia DR2 astrometry and spectroscopy, we analyze the 3D space velocities of ∼1500 young stars along the Radcliffe Wave in action-angle space, using the motion of the wave’s newly born stars as a proxy for its gas motion. We find that the vertical angle of young stars—corresponding to their orbital phase perpendicular to the Galactic plane—varies significantly as a function of position along the structure, in a pattern potentially consistent with a wavelike oscillation. This kind of oscillation is not seen in a control sample of older stars from Gaia occupying the same volume, disfavoring formation channels caused by long-lived physical processes. We use a “wavy midplane” model to try to account for the trend in vertical angles seen in young stars, and find that while the best-fit parameters for the wave’s spatial period and amplitude are qualitatively consistent with the existing morphology defined by 3D dust, there is no evidence for additional velocity structure. These results support more recent and/or transitory processes in the formation of the Radcliffe Wave, which would primarily affect the motion of the wave’s gaseous material. Comparisons of our results with new and upcoming simulations, in conjunction with new stellar radial velocity measurements in Gaia DR3, should allow us to further discriminate between various competing hypotheses.
Observations of Thomson Scattering from a Loop-prominence System

Published: August 2022

We describe observations of the white-light structures in the low corona following the X8.2 flare SOL 2017-09-10, as observed in full Stokes parameters by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) of the Solar Dynamics Observatory. These data show both bright loops and a diffuse emission region above them. We interpret the loops as the white-light counterpart of a classical loop-prominence system, intermediate between the hot X-ray loops and coronal rain. The diffuse emission external to the loops is linearly polarized and has a natural interpretation in terms of Thomson scattering from the hot plasma seen prior to its cooling and recombination. The polarimetric data from HMI enable us to distinguish this contribution of scattering from the HMI pseudocontinuum measurement, and to make a direct estimation of the coronal mass in the polarized source. For a snapshot at 16:19 UT, we estimate a mass 8 × 1014 g. We further conclude that the volumetric filling factor of this source is near unity.

We utilize observations from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) to study the radial evolution of the solar wind in the inner heliosphere. We analyze electron velocity distribution functions observed by the Solar Wind Electrons, Alphas, and Protons suite to estimate the coronal electron temperature and the local electric potential in the solar wind. From the latter value and the local flow speed, we compute the asymptotic solar wind speed. We group the PSP observations by asymptotic speed, and characterize the radial evolution of the wind speed, electron temperature, and electric potential within each group. In agreement with previous work, we find that the electron temperature (both local and coronal) and the electric potential are anticorrelated with wind speed. This implies that the electron thermal pressure and the associated electric field can provide more net acceleration in the slow wind than in the fast wind. We then utilize the inferred coronal temperature and the extrapolated electric + gravitational potential to show that both electric field driven exospheric models and the equivalent thermally driven hydrodynamic models can explain the entire observed speed of the slowest solar wind streams. On the other hand, neither class of model can explain the observed speed of the faster solar wind streams, which thus require additional acceleration mechanisms.
Mechanism for the Efficient Homogeneous Nucleation of Ice in a Weakly Ionized, Ultracold Plasma
Authors: Bellan Paul M.
Published: August 2022

It is proposed that the rapid observed homogeneous nucleation of ice dust in a cold, weakly ionized plasma depends on the formation of hydroxide (OH−) by fast electrons impacting water molecules. These OH− ions attract neutral water molecules because of the high dipole moment of the water molecules and so hydrates of the form (OH)−(H2O)
n
are formed. The hydrates continuously grow in the cold environment to become macroscopic ice grains. These ice grains are negatively charged as a result of electron impact and so continue to attract water molecules. Because hydroxide is a negative ion, unlike positive ions, it does not suffer recombination loss from collision with plasma electrons. Recombination with positive ions is minimal because positive ions are few in number (weak ionization) and slow-moving as result of being in thermal equilibrium with the cold background gas.

Jets are one of the most common eruptive events in the solar atmosphere, and they are believed to be important in the context of coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. We present an observational study on a sequence of jets with the data acquired with the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph. This sequence is peculiar in that an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) jet, ∼29″ long and with a dome-like base, appears to be a consequence of a series of transition region (TR) microjets that are a few arcsecs in length. We find that the occurrence of any TR microjets is always associated with the change of geometry of microloops at the footpoints of the microjets. A bundle of TR flux ropes is seen to link a TR microjet to the dome-like structure at the base of the EUV jet. This bundle rises as a response to the TR microjets, with the rising motion eventually triggering the EUV jet. We propose a scenario involving a set of magnetic reconnections, in which the series of TR microjets are associated with the processes to remove the constraints to the TR flux ropes and thus allows them to rise and trigger the EUV jet. Our study demonstrates that small-scale dynamics in the lower solar atmosphere are crucial in understanding the energy and mass connection between the corona and the solar lower atmosphere, even though many of them might not pump mass and energy to the corona directly.
Solar and Stellar Flares: Frequency, Active Regions, and Stellar Dynamo

We demonstrate that for weak flares the dependence of their frequency occurrence on spottedness can be rather weak. The fact is that such flares can occur in both small and large active regions. At the same time, powerful large flares of classes M and X occur much more often in large active regions. In energy estimates, the mean magnetic field in starspots can also be assumed to be equal to the mean field in the sunspot umbra. So the effective mean magnetic field is 900 Mx cm−2 in sunspots and 2000 Mx cm−2 in starspots. Moreover, the height of the energy storage cannot be strictly proportional to A
1/2. For stars, the fitting factor is an order of magnitude smaller. The analysis of the occurrence rate of powerful solar X-ray flares of class M and X and superflares on stars shows that, with allowance for the difference in the spottedness and compactness of active regions, both sets can be described by a single model. Thus, the problem of superflares on stars and their absence on the Sun is reduced to the problem of the difference in the effectiveness of the dynamo mechanisms.
