Скифские сюжеты и мотивы в традиционном и современном ювелирном искусстве Тувы
Authors: Айжы Жанна Эдуардовна , Нан-Хоо Яна Александровна
Published: March 2021

В статье рассмотрены некоторые особенности традиционного ювелирного искусства Тувы и проанализированы работы современных представителей отрасли, следующих стилистике и иконографии скифо-сибирского звериного стиля.

Рассмотрены наиболее распространенные ювелирные изделия тувинцев — мастеров рубежа XIX–XX вв. (серьги, перстни, фигурные поясные бляхи, накосные украшения), которые хранятся и экспонируются в Национальном музее Республики Тыва (1131 единиц украшений). Сделан вывод, что преемственность с искусством эпохи ранних кочевников прослеживается мало: сохранились трансформированный под растительный узор зооморфный орнамент кошкар мыйызы и растительный мотив чечектеп в виде многолепестковой цветочной розетки, берущие свои истоки в искусстве древних скифов.

Скифо-сибирский стиль стал специально возрождаться в современном ювелирном искусстве Тувы с 2000-х гг. и это было связано с открытием в Национальном музее Тувы постоянной экспозиции, что позволило ювелирам, также как и другим посетителям, ознакомиться с украшениями царской четы и знати из курганов Аржан и Аржан-2. Из современных тувинских ювелирных работ были изучены произведения мастеров Венеры Никулиной, Айбеса Олчей и Елены Седип. В их работах (из серебра, золота, бисера и пр.) органично переплелись национальные тувинские традиции по художественной обработке металла и по-новому осмысленные скифские сюжеты, и мотивы. С одной стороны, в ювелирных изделиях прослеживается использование стилистических элементов скифского стиля, с другой стороны — звериные скифские образы смело накладываются на современные тренды в ювелирном искусстве (например, в работах мастера по бисеру Елены Седип). Анализ их ювелирных украшений позволяет говорить о формировании нового направления в современном ювелирном искусстве Тувы, в котором по-новому осмысливаются древние образы и мотивы.

Dermatophytosis has attained unprecedented dimensions in recent years in India. Its clinical presentation is now multifarious, often with atypical morphology, severe forms and unusually extensive disease in all age groups. We hesitate to call it an epidemic owing to the lack of population-based prevalence surveys. In this part of the review, we discuss the epidemiology and clinical features of this contemporary problem. While the epidemiology is marked by a stark increase in the number of chronic, relapsing and recurrent cases, the clinical distribution is marked by a disproportionate rise in the number of cases with tinea corporis and cruris, cases presenting with the involvement of extensive areas, and tinea faciei.

Authors: Gangan Reshmi
Published: March 2021

Paul Gerson Unna, one of the leading dermatologists of Central Europe, was way ahead of his time. The originality of this meticulous researcher always reflected in his works on anatomy and histology of the skin. Field of dermatology was made very attractive and appealing to many at that time by his first book on histopathology. His revolutionary Unna boot was only a minor invention when compared to his extensive contribution to the educational research and therapeutic dermatology.
ROM-based computation: quantum versus classical
Authors: Travaglione B.C. , Nielsen M.A. , Wiseman H.M. , Ambainis A.
Published: March 2021

We introduce a model of computation based on \emph{read only memory} (ROM), which allows us to compare the space-efficiency of reversible, error-free classical computation with reversible, error-free quantum computation. We show that a ROM-based quantum computer with one writable qubit is universal, whilst two writable bits are required for a universal classical ROM-based computer. We also comment on the time-efficiency advantages of quantum computation within this model.
Purification of two-qubit mixed states
Authors: Jan\'e E.
Published: March 2021

We find the necessary and sufficient condition under which two two-qubit mixed states can be purified into a pure maximally entangled state by local operations and classical communication. The optimal protocol for such transformation is obtained. This result leads to a necessary and sufficient condition for the exact purification of $n$ copies of a two-qubit state.
A practical trojan horse for Bell-inequality-based quantum cryptography
Authors: Larsson J.
Published: March 2021

Quantum Cryptography, or more accurately, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is based on using an unconditionally secure ``quantum channel'' to share a secret key among two users. A manufacturer of QKD devices could, intentionally or not, use a (semi-)classical channel instead of the quantum channel, which would remove the supposedly unconditional security. One example is the BB84 protocol, where the quantum channel can be implemented in polarization of single photons. Here, use of several photons instead of one to encode each bit of the key provides a similar but insecure system. For protocols based on violation of a Bell inequality (e.g., the Ekert protocol) the situation is somewhat different. While the possibility is mentioned by some authors, it is generally thought that an implementation of a (semi-)classical channel will differ significantly from that of a quantum channel. Here, a counterexample will be given using an identical physical setup as is used in photon-polarization Ekert QKD. Since the physical implementation is identical, a manufacturer may include this modification as a Trojan Horse in manufactured systems, to be activated at will by an eavesdropper. Thus, the old truth of cryptography still holds: you have to trust the manufacturer of your cryptographic device. Even when you do violate the Bell inequality.
The density matrix for mixed state qubits and hyperbolic geometry
Authors: Ungar A.A.
Published: March 2021

Density matrices for mixed state qubits, parametrized by the Bloch vector in the open unit ball of the Euclidean 3-space, are well known in quantum information and computation theory. By presenting new identities for the qubit density matrix we indicate its intimate relationship with M\"obius addition and scalar multiplication. The latter, in turn, form the algebraic setting for the Poincar\'e ball model of hyperbolic geometry so that, as a result, the qubit density matrix is linked to hyperbolic geometry.

Biomimetic Total Synthesis of (+)-Chloropupukeananin, (–)-Chloropupukeanolide D, and Chloropestolides
Authors: Suzuki Takahiro , Watanabe Soichiro , Ikeda Wataru , Kobayashi Susumu , Tanino Keiji
Published: March 2021

The biomimetic total synthesis of (+)-chloropupukeananin (overall 4.5% yield, 19 steps from pyrone 22) and (−)-chloropupukeanolide D via an intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction using (−)-maldoxin and (+)-iso-A82775C and an intramolecular carbonyl-ene reaction has been achieved. Moreover, the biomimetic synthesis of chloropestolides H-K using (−)-maldoxin and siccayne unveiled the solvent effect of the intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction. The origin of the stereoselectivity of the intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction is still elusive; however, the biosynthesis of the chloropupukeananin family should involve enzymes that catalyse the intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
On the Acid Sites of Phosphorous Modified Zeosils

Published: March 2021

The acid sites of phosphorus-containing zeosils were probed through a combination of solid acid characterization, density functional theory calculations, and kinetic interrogations, establishing their weakly Brønsted acidic character. Due to the disparity in acid-site strength, P-zeosils catalyzed the probe chemistry of isopropanol dehydration slower than aluminosilicate zeolites by an order of magnitude on an active site basis. Propene selectivity during isopropanol dehydration remained 20-30% higher than that of aluminosilicates, illustrating the distinct nature of the weakly acidic phosphorus active sites that favored unimolecular dehydration routes. Regardless of the confining siliceous environment, the nature of phosphorous active sites was unchanged, indicated by identical apparent uni- and bi-molecular dehydration energy barriers. Kinetic isotope experiments with deuterated isopropanol feeds implicated an E2-type elimination to propene formation on phosphorus-containing materials. Comparison of KIEs between phosphorus-containing zeosils and aluminosilicates pointed to an unchanged isopropanol dehydration mechanism, with changes in apparent energetic barriers attributed to weaker binding on phosphorous-active sites that lead to a relatively destabilized alcohol dimer adsorbate. Both ex-situ alkylamine Hofmann elimination and in-situ pyridine titration characterization methods exhibited phosphorous acid site counts dependent on probe molecules identity and/or concentration, underpinning the limitations of extending common characterization techniques for Brønsted-acid catalysis to weakly acidic materials.

Published: March 2021

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) represent the state of the art in high-density energy storage. To further advance LIB technology, a fundamental understanding of the underlying chemical processes is required. In particular, the decomposition of electrolyte species and associated formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is critical for LIB performance. However, SEI formation is poorly understood, in part due to insufficient exploration of the vast reactive space. The Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolyte(LIBE) dataset reported here aims to provide accurate first-principles data to improve the understanding of SEI species and associated reactions. The dataset was generated by fragmenting a set of principal molecules, including solvents, salts, and SEI products, and then selectively recombining a subset of the fragments. All candidate molecules were analyzed at theωB97X-V/def2-TZVPPD/SMD level of theory at various charges and spin multiplicities. In total, LIBE contains structural,thermodynamic, and vibrational information on over 17,000 unique species. In addition to studies of reactivity in LIBs, this dataset may prove useful for machine learning of molecular and reaction properties.

Published: March 2021

Dengue fever is endemic in tropical urban developing regions worldwide. Thrombocytopenia is an important clinical feature which may result in bleeding. However, there is no specific treatment for Dengue-induced thrombocytopenia. Carica papaya leaves (CPL) is a popular remedy in South East Asia to treat Dengue-induced thrombocytopenia. Development of CPL into pharmaceutical therapeutic agents is not forthcoming due to lack of rigorous scientific evidence and unknown mechanism of action. This study investigated the role of thrombopoietin (TPO) and interleukin (IL-6) in the thrombocytosis effect of CPL in vivo. These experiments were conducted using busulfan-induced thrombocytopenic rats. Treatment of aqueous and methanol extracts of CPL at 600mg/kg were administered orally for 7 consecutive days and serum platelet count was determined intermittently until day 15. At the end of experiments, serum Thrombopoietin (TPO) and IL-6 levels were determined by ELISA. Both aqueous and methanol extracts of CPL significantly increased platelet count compared to the control groups (x2 (2) = 25.373, P = 0.00). Investigations into the mechanism of thrombocytosis showed that TPO and IL-6 levels were increased compared to controls but was not statistically significant (H (3) = 5.339 P = 0.149) (H (3) = 4.412 P = 0.220) respectively. This study is the first to document the thrombocytosis effect of both aqueous and methanol CPL extracts in a rodent model system. Our findings showed that aqueous extract of CPL demonstrated an increase of TPO and IL-6 levels. We suggested that the possible mechanism could be linked with the upregulation of major thrombopoietic cytokines such as TPO and IL-6.

Isoniazid and rifampicin are the first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in the advanced phase. This study aimed at validating the method to determine the levels of isoniazid and rifampicin contents in one serve of combined tablet circulating at Pramuka market using simultaneous analysis of Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry with methanol as a solvent. The maximum wavelength of isoniazid and rifampicin obtained was 261 nm and 337 nm, respectively. The method used to confirm the validity here includes linearity, the limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), accuracy, and precision under the ICH guidelines. The results of the method validation for isoniazid and rifampicin were as follow: linearity (R2) in the range 5-25 µg / mL showed about 0.9998 and 0.9997, the limit of detection (LOD) 0.4026 µg/mL and 0.4952 µg / mL, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) 1.3421 µg / mL and 1.6508 µg / mL respectively. Besides, the accuracy-test (% recovery) was in the range of 100.44% ± 0.41% to 107.26% ± 0.28%, while the precision test (% RSD) was less than 2%. The determination of the contents was carried out on samples purchased at Pramuka Market with predetermined criteria and obtained levels of active ingredients ranging from 92.774% ± 0.39% to 103.51% ± 0.41%. The method validation to determine the levels of isoniazid and rifampicin contents in one serve of combined tablet using simultaneous analysis of Ultraviolet (UV) Spectrophotometry with methanol as a solvent is recommended for preparation analysis at the market.
Bridging White Supremacist Discourse: An ethnography of the online world of the ‘Alt-Right’
Authors: Botha Daniel
Published: March 2021

This thesis examines the social world of white supremacy using online ethnography of an Alt-Right forum on 4chan. For four months, I conducted fieldwork on 4chan’s “politically incorrect” (/pol/) message board three to four days a week, observing the interaction of users in real time, compiling ethnographic fieldnotes, and archiving relevant documents and forum threads. This data was systematically analysed and provides the foundation for the case studies at the centre of this thesis: (1) users use of the metaphor of “red pills” to describe their entry to the Alt-Right and adoption of core tenants of movement ideology; (2) the way they translated this ideology for a wider (offline) audience through a campaign to poster the phrase, “It’s Okay to be White” around local neighbourhoods; and (3) the way they constructed collective meaning out of an act of racist violence from a self-identified insider to the community, Stephan Balliet, who killed two people near a synagogue in Halle, Germany, during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.

This ethnographic examination of 4chan not only provides a ground-up view of what is generally regarded as among the darkest corners of the internet, based on the everyday interactions of participants in the community, but contributes to wider academic debates about the contemporary landscape of racial inequality and online white supremacy.

Authors: Atif Ashraf  , Ghulam Shabir  , Hafiz Abdur Rashid  , Qamar Uddin Zia Ghaznavi
Published: March 2021

Purpose: This research aims to investigate the behavior of the citizenry residing in Provincial Capital of Pakistan’s largest populated province of Punjab.

Methodology: Based on quantitative approach, a questionnaire with closed ended questions was distributed between two divisions of society – educated and uneducated – to measure their behavior towards the pandemic. The researchers have made an attempt to measure the cognitive dissonance of the society towards COVID with this hypothetical assumption that uneducated people would bother least as compared to the educated class.

Findings: The research concluded the educated class had adopted more precautionary measures as compared to the uneducated class. However, there was a slight negation in awareness level of the educated and uneducated class regarding the pandemic. More precisely, the findings also surfaced cognitive dissonance theory in relation to the education, implying that regardless of the COVID-19 awareness and the spread, uneducated people are more likely in the state of cognitive dissonance that the educated people.   

Implications: Pakistani government as well as masses need to follow the response strategies of the government and awareness methods adopted by the people of China.

La fertilización y densidad de planta son algunos componentes tecnológicos esenciales dentro de la agricultura moderna. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar el efecto de la densidad de planta y dosis de fertilización sobre la productividad de forraje de tres híbridos comerciales de maíz. El experimento se estableció en el Campo Experimental Cotaxtla perteneciente al Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias (INIFAP), bajo un diseño en bloques completamente al azar con arreglo en parcelas subdivididas con tres repeticiones. Se estudiaron tres factores: dosis de fertilización (207‑69‑60 y 253‑69-60), híbridos de maíz (H-564C, H-567 y HE-3B) y densidades de planta (62 500, 83 000 y 100 000 plantas ha-1). Durante el periodo de estudio, la precipitación mensual acumulada fue de 1003.6 mm y la temperatura promedio de 26.7 °C; la máxima temperatura ocurrió en el mes de agosto (28.7 °C) y la mínima en el mes de noviembre (25.3 °C). La prueba de Duncan (P ≤ 0.05), demostró que la dosis de fertilización integrada por la fórmula 253‑69‑60, incrementó el rendimiento de forraje verde, un 15.06% más con relación a la fórmula 207‑69‑60. Los híbridos H-564C y HE-3B expresaron los mejores rendimientos de forraje verde con 53 105 y 51 937 kg ha‑1, respectivamente. La mayor producción de forraje verde se obtuvo con el híbrido HE-3B y la dosis 253-69-60. El aumento de la densidad de planta (62 500 a 100 000 plantas ha-1) incrementó el rendimiento de forraje verde cuando se aplicó altas unidades de N. El incremento de la densidad de planta no afectó las características agronómicas de los híbridos evaluados. Los híbridos H-564C y HE‑3B, expresaron mayor rendimiento de forraje verde. Este último material es un candidato para ser liberado y comercializado con propósitos forrajeros en el área tropical del estado de Veracruz.

La criminología verde como elemento fundamental en la formación profesional de criminólogos en México
Authors: Carpio Domínguez José Luis , Arroyo Quiroz Inés , Vargas Orozco Cynthia Marisol
Published: March 2021

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la contribución de los estudios de la educación en Criminología en México para abordar crímenes y daños socio ambientales actuales. Para lograr dicho objetivo, primero se llevó a cabo una revisión documental de los aportes educativos, teóricos y metodológicos que ha hecho la criminología en el estudio de los crímenes ambientales, además se revisaron los planes de estudio de las univer-sidades que imparten la licenciatura en Criminología, tomando en consideración los siguientes conceptos clave: naturaleza y medio ambiente, ecología, desarrollo sustentable/sostenible, bioética y ciencias ambientales. En la revisión se encontraron dos resultados principales: únicamente el 8.3% de las universidades que imparten la licenciatura en Criminología incluyen en sus planes de estudio algún tema sobre problemáticas socioambientales y no existe ninguna materia en los planes de estudios que contemple los crímenes ambientales como unidad de estudio. Se concluye que el estudio y análisis de los crímenes ambientales es aún una tarea pendiente en la formación profesional de criminólogos en México, por lo que se propone el contenido temático para una materia sobre Criminología Verde en la formación profesional de criminólogos en el país.

Bandgap Tuning of High Mobility Magnetron Sputtered Copper (I) Oxide Thin Films for Perovskite Solar Cell Applications
Authors: Hossain Mohammad Istiaque , Aïssa Brahim , Bentouaf Ali , Mansour Said A.
Published: March 2021

We report on the successful growth optimization of an inorganic p-type copper oxide (Cu2O) thin films for various energy applications. First, Cu2O thin films of a typical thickness of 100 nm are deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrates by DC-reactive magnetron sputtering, followed by their in-depth characterization with different techniques, including scanning electron and atomic force microscopies, UV-Vis, X-ray diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopies, to probe their structural, optical, and morphological properties. Surface topology analysis revealed homogeneous, compact, and uniform sputtered deposited films. The as deposited films layers have shown a preferential crystal orientation of (111) and a stoichiometry of CuO, at the surface, which is believed to be mainly due to the oxidization effect of the non-capsulated surface, while a short-duration argon etching (~ 5 s) has revealed the growth of Cu2O films stoichiometry. Finally, during the reactive plasma deposition, films were grown under nitrogen gas flow to improve their hole-mobility, followed by a systematic annealing at various temperatures ranging from 100 to 250 °C to improve their crystalline structure. Hall effect measurement confirmed that the Cu2O thin film are p-type, with extremely high electronic properties, including an electrical conductivity of 2.6 × 102 S/cm, a hole mobility of about 30 cm2/Vs and a charge carrier density around 5 × 1019 cm-3, making them a serious candidate for a hole transport layer in perovskite solar cells.
Oriental Motives and Images in Yustina Krusenstern’s Poetry
Authors: Bogdanova Ol’ga Vladimirovna , Zang Yunmei
Published: March 2021

The paper aims to reveal specificity of implementing motives of the ancient Chinese pretexts (in particular, Bai Juyi and Li Bo) in a poem of a representative of the “Eastern branch” of the Russian emigration (the 1920-1940s) Yustina Krusenstern-Peterets, who adopted the figurative system of the Chinese culture, calling China her “second Motherland”. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the researchers introduce little-known works of “Harbin-Shanghai” regional author into scientific circulation and analyse how the Russian poetess assimilated the foreign cultural tradition. The findings indicate that the Russian poetess Yu. Krusenstern proposes a free interpretation of the Chinese pretext and abandons the tradition of restrained and concise narration typical of the Tang classics. Relying on the Russian literary tradition characterized by rich imagery, Krusenstern imparts special vividness to her poems.

The method employed for this study is qualitative. First hand documents, tools and observation were considered as sources of primary data. Furthermore, pertinent literature was reviewed. The data was analyzed qualitatively where description of the responses on the bases of themes was given emphasis. The finding of this study argued that drum beating, horn blowing and town crying are a form of mass communications in the ancient time. In ancient time news in Africa was first made public from the tower in the center, squares of the city, palace main stairs, market and church. Town Criers, Azmari and shepherds were the journalists and the essential news presenters in ancient times. In the same manner, Afe Negus (mouth of the King) and Tsehafe Tezaze (Minister of Pen) were originally indigenous information regulatory bodies of the empire regime. This research discovered the oldest African newspaper in Ethiopia, a news sheet entitled Zenamewale (Daily News) and the first written newspaper and inscriptions of king Ezana are the first types of African form of news, which dates back to 320 A.D. Zena mewale is believed to be the first handmade press so far known in Africa for 700 years. This confirmed that Ethiopia has 3,000 years of indigenous forms of oral mass communication and handmade press history in Africa.

Dice, Stars and Names: Women and Technical Divination in the Dead Sea Scrolls
Authors: Tervanotko Hanna
Published: March 2021

Recent studies demonstrate the Dead Sea Scrolls attest to a wide variety of methods of technical divination. While scholars have analyzed these techniques, women’s involvement in them has not been addressed. I argue that by choosing a methodological perspective that allows women’s presence in the texts, the Dead Sea Scrolls provide an important witness to women’s involvement in various divinatory techniques. By focusing on three avenues to inquire about the divine will: the oracle of the lot, astronomy, and physiognomy, I suggest that apart from being objects of these methods, women were involved in their practice. Women’s participation in technical divinatory techniques is the most noticeable in inquiries that concern their own bodies and matters related to procreation.
