The Expression of Bile Acid Receptor TGR5 in Adipose Tissue in Diet-Induced Obese Mice
Authors: Ahmed Sumaya , Rizk Nasser
Published: December 2020

Bile acids are significant physiological factors for digestion, solubilization, absorption, toxic metabolites and xenobiotics. In addition, bile acids are responsible of signal transduction as well as metabolic regulation that activate several receptors such as farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the membrane G-protein receptor 5 (TGR5). Activation of TGR5 by bile acids is associated with prevention of obesity as well as ameliorating the resistance to insulin via increasing energy expenditure. The objective of this research is to investigate TGR5 gene expression level in different fat depots including visceral or epididymal adipose tissue (eWAT), brown adipose tissue and inguinal adipose tissue (iWAT) and to study the response of TGR5 gene expression to the antiobesity treatment (SFN). Three groups of male CD1 mice were used in this study; lean group fed with SCD, DIO mice on HFD and DIO obese mice treated with anti-obesity treatment. Body weight (BW) and phenotype data were evaluated by weekly including blood samples for analysis of glucose, insulin, leptin, triglycerides (TG). Total RNA was extracted from different fat depots and RT-PCR profiler array technology was used to in order to assess the mRNA expression of TGR5 and leptin. There was significant downregulation of TGR5 gene expression level in obese (DIO) mice and remarkable upregulation of TGR5 gene expression after successful weight loss in DIO mice treated with SFN in time dependent manner at 1 weeks and 4 weeks of ip applications. In conclusion, obesity is associated with decrease in expression of TGR5 in different fat depots and treatment with anti-obesity drug (Sulforaphane) causes stepwise upregulation of TGR5 gene expression in epididymal white adipose tissue parallel stepwise decrease in body weight. Increase of expression of TGR5 in DIO mice in eWAT is accompanied by improvement in glucose homeostasis and insulin action.

Published: December 2020

Background: In a context of tremendous economic value, the management and protection of water resources in Qatar has long been a significant issue as part of the global wastewater management plan. The process is based on several stages of treatment in order to deliver high-quality effluent standard. Treated sewage effluent (TSE) can potentially be used for agriculture in Qatar and it should be biologically evaluated before releasing it to the environment. TSE water can be further filtered with techniques that include reverse osmosis, forward osmosis, and nanofiltration. Aim: This project aims to assess the toxicity of differently treated sewage effluent water on the environement using the zebrafish model. Our approach will also be relevant to the assessment of the water quality for agriculture use. Methods: Zebrafish embryos were cultured in different effluent water samples filtered with different techniques. Toxicicity of water was assessed via multiple assasys including: survival rate, tail flicking, and hatching rate. Cardiotoxicity assessment was performed via blood velocity, cardiac output and vessels diameter measurement in major vessels, as well as gene expression for heart failure markers of ANP and BNP by PCR. Results: Samples filtered via Reverse osmosis and nano-filtration resulted in most toxicity. Total dissolved solvent (TDS) measurements were also highest in those samples, suggesting these filteration techniques may result in release of toxic compounds to effluent water. Toxicity assessment is currently ongoing to confirm the findindgs. Conclusion: Utilization of TSE for environmental and agricultural purposes will have an economical value in the nation. It is critically important to determine the most efficient and less toxic ways of water filteration. Zebrafish is a practical model that can be used to assess water toxicity. This project aims to examine toxicity of effluent water filteration techniques using the zebrafish model.

Published: December 2020

Background: No studies assess the effect of dietary pattern on glycemic control among Qatari adults with T2DM. Objective: To assess the association between dietary patterns, and glycemic control among Qatari adults with T2DM. Method: Data from 1000 adults with known diabetes attending the Qatar Biobank Study were analyzed. Poor glycemic control was defined as HbA1c ≥7.0%. Dietary pattern was constructed using factor analysis based on habitual food intake data assessed by a food frequency questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between dietary patterns and poor glycemic control. The following covariates were considered: education, age, gender, smoking, BMI and medication. All analyses were conducted using STATA15. Results: The odds ratio for poor glycemic control was 0.86 (95%CI 0.68-1.08) in men, 0.76(95%CI 0.61-0.95) in women. For men without diabetes medication, fast food pattern was positively but traditional pattern was inversely associated with poor glycemic control 2.35(95%CI 1.13-4.87) (p=0.021) and 0.49 (95%CI 0.22-1.07) (p=0.075) respectively. And among younger participants, the use of insulin was higher than older participants as it was 77 (SD 30.8%). Conclusion: Fast food pattern was inversely associated with glycemic control, which is most likely linked to medication use. In men who were not under diabetes medication, fast food pattern was associated with poor glycemic control.
Choice and Expenditure: A Double Hurdle Model of Private Tutoring in Qatar
Authors: Mandikiana Brian
Published: December 2020

To shed light on the demand for private tutoring, this paper presents new evidence for the case of Qatar. The household demand for private tutoring is estimated using the double hurdle model using a sample of 1226 participants from the 2012 Qatar Education Survey. Using statistical model selection criterion, the Cragg model is preferred overall to establish the demand for private tutoring in Qatar. The findings show that nationality of parents, mother’s educational background, the grade the student attends, and the type of school attended pose a significant influence on the likelihood of using private tutoring and the amount. These findings suggest that without monitoring, access to high quality education will be unequal. In particular, students from well-off families will benefit the most from additional hours of education and build an advantage that could eventually lead to the creation of an unequal society.

Published: December 2020

The first insurer of life was the marine insurance underwriters who started issuing life insurance policies on the life of master and crew of the ship, and the merchants. The first insurance policy was issued on 18th June 1583,on the life of WILLIAM GIBBONS for the period of 12 months. The oriental life insurance company is the first insurance companies in India which is started on 1818 by Europeans at Kolkata. The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act, 1912 was the first statutory measure to regulate life business. In 1928, the Indian Insurance Companies Act was enacted to enable the Government to collect statistical information about both life and non-life business transacted in India by Indian and foreign insurers including provident insurance societies. In 1938, with a view to protecting the interest of the Insurance public, the earlier legislation was consolidated and amended by the Insurance Act, 1938 with comprehensive provisions for effective control over the activities of insurers. In 1956 the life insurance companies was nationalized. The LIC absorbed 154 Indian, 16 non-Indian insurers as also 75 provident societies—245 Indian and foreign insurers in all. The LIC had monopoly till the late 90s when the Insurance sector was reopened to the private sector.
THE PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF BANANA IN VILAVANCODE TALUK
Authors: Vincy V.
Published: December 2020

India is the largest banana producer in the world and the cultivators face many problems during cultivation. The productivity of banana in India is far from satisfactory. At present the development of agriculture does not merely depend upon increasing the agricultural produce and productivity, but also upon the promotion of a better and well organized marketing by which the agricultural goods are moved from the field of the farmer to the places of ultimate consumers. When one looks into the production aspect of banana cultivation, it seems that the farmers face several financial problems. In the study area majority of the farmers are not able to get cheap loan facilities to finance the expenditure involved in banana cultivation. One of the most ruthlessly exploited segments of Indian community is that of the farmers. As the small farmers are hard pressed for cash to meet postponed consumption needs and to pay off debts, they have to sell their produce soon after the harvest, when the price is low. Banana production is seasonal in nature while its demand is inelastic. This also affects the price fixation. There is a large variation in the quality of banana which makes their grading and standardization somewhat difficult. More than 60 per cent of the population in the selected area of vilavancode taluk of Kanyakumari District depends on agriculture. Hence a lot of marketing activities are going on in this area. This taluk is solely dependent on agriculture. So a survey has been undertaken to study the process of socio demographic profile, production and marketing of banana and problems in cultivation and marketing.

DUAL FACTOR THEORY OF JOB SATISFACTION: A REPLICATION IN LEATHER INDUSTRY IN TAMIL NADU
Authors: Thirupathy A.
Published: December 2020

As Frederick Herzberg noted in his 1968 article, “what has been unraveled [about the psychology of motivation] with any degree of assurance is small indeed.  Herzberg believed that organizations have only limited power to motivate employees.  Managers should make sure their incentive systems function reasonably well but should concentrate on enriching the work. There are down to earth managers who shout, “Kick the person!” And this type of manager is right. The surest and least difficult way of getting someone to do something is to administer a kick in the pants - to give what might be called the KITA(Kick in ask). This opened up the field of communications, a new area of “scientifically” sanctioned KITA.

Authors: Kaur Rajpreet , Gupta Anita
Published: December 2020

COVID-19, a pandemic, threatens the entire world by its multiplicative deadly behavior. Virus has caged the world’s people into their homes / isolation as their protective gear. Transmission rate, Case Fatality Rate, and Asymptomatic Transmission parameters determine the savage of COVID-19. More than a couple of months, mankind is staying locked in one’s home, which has never happened in the lifetime of any other generation. World Health Organization highlights the importance of hand Hygiene (Handwashing) by Soap/surfactant for 20 seconds and the use of alcohol-based Sanitizers as a part of personal health care. Soap functions as a weapon for sterilization of any viruses present on the surface. The lipid envelope of virusesis more susceptible to heat, desiccation or action of surfactants. Single tailed Quaternary ammonium compound surfactant is most commonly used as disinfectant or cleaning agent. Similarly, Gemini surfactants can also play a vital role as disinfectant / sanitizerin future. It is suggested that Gemini surfactants have imperative function in Air sanitation. Also, there is a valid comparison of Coronavirus with other SARS diseases. The deadly nature of virus can be understood by knowing its mechanism of action and mode of transmission. Once a chain of human to human transmission is initiated then it is very tricky to rupture the chain.
Coloniality and Mental Health, Neurological and Substance Abuse (MNS) Disorders in Guyana’s Prisons Today
Authors: Cameron Queenela , Kerrigan Dylan
Published: December 2020

There is a relationship between the social actions and social structures laid down during colonialism, and the social hierarchies and inequalities that developed as British Guiana moved slowly from British colony to Independent Guyana. From slavery and indigenous marginalisation, to indentureship and colonial social relations, modern Guyana emerges from the legacies of an Imperial project, and most notably “enslavement, immigration, and population management” (Anderson 2019). In the context of Guyana’s prisons today, the echoes and ghosts of this Imperial project can be said to still haunt the grounds and insides of these decaying buildings, as well as stalking the lives and minds of inmates themselves.

Risk management in construction sector
Authors: Oğuzhan Yavuz Bayraktar
Published: December 2020

The major requirement of every construction project is meeting client’s need of cost, quality and time. However, the construction industry is overwhelmed with risks more than any other industry due to the fact that they are present in every activity from design to completion. These risks need to be controlled early or face the possibility of cost overruns, time delays and poor quality work leading to displeasure of client and public. Although risk management in construction projects is a very important issue in terms of the firms operating in the construction sector, it has not yet gained clarity and prevalence in our country. Within the scope of this research, the aim of this research is to introduce the risk management system as a concept and to classify the risk in construction projects and to demonstrate the risk management techniques. Risk management system is a cyclic process. In the monitoring and control phase of applied risk responding strategies, some of the risks will be eliminated or reduced, some of unforeseen risks will appear and analysis steps will be realized again. At the end of the project, determination of to what degree project aims and targets have been reached and documentation of risk management system after evaluation regarding to the project will enable the company to use project risk management system more effectively and usefully in the projects undertaken later. Due to construction activities, processes, environment and organization’s structures, construction industry and the clients are broadly in relation with high risk degrees. Therefore, it is highly important for our country’s firms in construction industry to give necessary significance to project risk management idea and system and to consider them as a basic function of the projects for permanence of their enterprise existence.

Authors: Clinton Aloni  , Chinago Budnuka Alexander
Published: December 2020

Weathering is a part of geomorphic processes leading to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks and minerals on the earth’s surface as a result of physical and chemical action that leads to the formation of soil being a most vital natural resource of rock weathering. Development of soils in an environment enhances plants dependence on it for growth, and man depends directly or indirectly on plants for food, thus the functions of soil as a fundamental interface, providing an excellent example of the integration among many parts of the earth system. Hence, geomorphology research being based on processes of the earth’s surfacing that result into most of the physical features seen on the face of the earth.

Audiodescrição na intervenção pedagógica das dificuldades de aprendizagem
Authors: Pavão Ana Cláudia Oliveira , Pavão Sílvia Maria de Oliveira
Published: December 2020

As dificuldades de aprendizagem consistem em obstáculos enfrentados ao aprender e estão presentes desde a Educação Básica até o Ensino Superior. Pelo fato dos sujeitos com dificuldades de aprendizagem não terem sido contemplados pela Política Nacional de Educação Especial, muitas vezes ficam sem receber materiais didáticos e recursos que auxiliem a minimizar suas limitações. O crescente uso das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação em todos os setores da sociedade faz com que professores utilizem cada vez mais vídeos e imagens em suas aulas, muitas vezes sem a presença de recursos acessíveis, destinados às pessoas com deficiência e dificuldades de aprendizagem. Dentre as possibilidades que podem auxiliar os alunos, destaca-se a audiodescrição. Desse modo, esse artigo tem como objetivo discutir a aplicação da audiodescrição na intervenção das dificuldades de aprendizagem. Optou-se por uma revisão integrativa, realizando uma análise crítica da literatura sobre o tema, que reúne dois eixos, dificuldades de aprendizagem e audiodescrição como recurso de acessibilidade. Os resultados apontam a falta de formação de audiodescritores; a formação do professor; e a necessidade de instituir/emergir uma nova cultura envolvendo o entendimento sobre a aprendizagem e a inserção de recursos mediadores.

Authors: Santos Caroline Delfino dos , Lima Jacqueline De Cássia Pinheiro , Soares Jurema Rosa Lopes
Published: December 2020

Esse artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um recorte sobre os princípios que balizaram a construção da escola pública brasileira, norteando a elaboração das presentes legislações e diretrizes educacionais. A metodologia apoia-se nas contribuições da pesquisa bibliográfica com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando como fonte importantes legislações brasileiras e demais documentos legais. O texto estrutura-se a partir da influência da educação francesa na construção do conceito de universalização do ensino. Em seguida, a pesquisa pauta-se sobre as trajetórias traçadas no processo de inclusão das camadas populares aos bancos escolares, citando como um importante movimento “Manifesto dos Pioneiros”, 1932. Os estudos identificam importantes impactos da cultura educacional francesa sobre as legislações brasileiras, contudo foi observado um distanciamento ideológico entre as atuais políticas de inclusão das camadas populares na escola e os princípios de educação à luz dos intelectuais franceses. Assim, questionamo-nos sobre quais influências do pensamento francês ainda permanecem no cenário educacional brasileiro.

This article examines the presence of Spanish literature in the magazineEuropa Letteraria(1960-65). First of all, we analyse the articles on authors who published before the Civil War, underlining how in the magazine their work is considered a political and moral model for the young generations, instead of a literary one. After this we examine poets and short fiction writers who were eliminated by the winning bando through death, prison or exile. The second part of the article is devoted to Nueva Ola: the group of young writers gathered under the banner of anti-Francoism and united by a realist poetics. Finally, we analyse the debate on censorship, focusing in particular on the case of López Pacheco.

This article provides a survey of Spanish cultural and literary references within the magazine L’indice dei Libri del mese throughout its first 15 years of existence (1984-99). Thanks to the scrutiny and analysis of 180 Spanish-themed articles, it was possible to profile the editorial line adopted by this prestigious magazine with reference to the Iberian area, as well as the attention (and disattention) paid to Spanish literature by the Italian publishing industry. Reviews have been classified by subject, period and typology, and their argumentative structures were analysed, allowing to highlight the controversial issue related to the real or presumed peripherality of Spanish literature in the Italian and European cultural context.

Comparison of Autonomic Reactivity to the Stress between Adjustment Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder
Authors: Oh Dae Jong , Kim Sae Rom , Kim Eun Young , Baik Myung Jae
Published: December 2020

Objective Adjustment disorder (AD) remains an ambiguous diagnosis that overlaps with major depressive disorder (MDD). This study compared autonomic reactivity to the stress between AD and MDD to test for biological differences.Methods Physically healthy Korean male soldiers admitted to a psychiatric ward were recruited for participation. Clinical diagnoses indicated that 62 patients with AD and 47 with MDD were selected. Procedures consisted of electrocardiogram measurements according to three consecutive phases lasting five minutes each [i.e., resting, stress (including a mental arithmetic task and Stroop color word test), and recovery].Results The reactive trends of all heart rate variability (HRV) parameters related to the stress tasks in participants with AD did not differ from those with MDD. High-frequency HRV (a proxy of parasympathetic activity) increased during times of stress for participants with AD and MDD. Despite similar reactive trends, AD participants had higher HRV values than participants with MDD during whole phases, particularly for variables reflecting overall autonomic activity.Conclusion AD is associated with higher basal activity in the autonomous nervous system when compared to MDD. However, both are associated with pathophysiology indicating an altered autonomic reactivity to stress.

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Affektgenese moralisch-welterschließender Haltungen und diskutiert diese mit Blick auf das Ressentiment. Dabei fassen wir das Ressentiment mit Rückgriff auf Scheler (1913, 49) als »dauernde psychische Einstellung«, die sich aus der Erfahrung eines (moralischen) Unrechts heraus entwickelt und sich in einer negativen Werthaltung gegenüber verschiedensten Objekten äußert. Anhand einer von uns konstruierten Fallvignette zeigen wir zunächst, dass sich eine präkognitive Einschätzung der Situation, als ein leibliches Zur-Situation-ausgerichtet-Sein, an einer anderen als der die Affekte eigentlich evozierenden Stelle entladen kann, und analysieren, wie diese Verschiebung hin zu einer moralisch-welterschließenden Haltung verstanden werden kann. Auf Basis von Schelers Theorie der Ressentimentgenese argumentieren wir anschließend, dass Ressentimentbildungen als eine spezifische Form moralisch-welterschließender Haltungen verstanden werden können. Abschließend diskutieren wir die in diesem Artikel fokussierte psychogenetische Betrachtung moralisch-welterschließender Haltungen mit Blick auf eine soziogenetische Perspektive. Rückbeziehend auf die Fallvignette greifen wir in einem Ausblick auf, wie bereits bestehende (und weiter zu entwickelnde) sozialwissenschaftliche Perspektiven und Konzepte genutzt werden können, um die psychoaffektive Analyse der geschilderten Situation in sozialund machttheoretischer Weise zu vertiefen.

Синтезированы смешанные соли кобальта(II) с α-кетокарбоновыми и меркаптокарбоновыми кислотами, которые обладают различными типами антидотной активности в одной молекуле. Установлено, что при одновременном введении с ядом (цианидом натрия) в дозах ЛД50 и ЛД99 смешанная кобальтовая соль снимала ведущие симптомы интоксикации на 75 – 100 % и предотвращала гибель животных. Индекс защиты (ИЗ) и антидотная мощность (АМ) при внутрижелудочном введении (1а) в дозе 300 мг/кг сразу после отравления цианидом натрия составили 1,40 и 1,08 соответственно. Профилактическое введение за 30 мин до яда в 1,8 раз увеличивало эти показатели, что соответствовало ИЗ = 2,5, АМ = 1,9.
Авимониторинг и принципы прогнозирования и коррекции ависимбиоценозов

Published: December 2020

Гиперсимбиоз, гиперпаразитизм и суперпаразитизм при ависимбиоценозах (ассоциативных и смешанных патологиях птиц) — не спорадическое, а закономерное и широко распространенное явление в биоэкосистеме. Внутри живых существ симбионты и паразиты локализуются не хаотически, а по законам синергетики и системологии в процессе взаимодействия формируют эколого-симбиотические и эколого-паразитарные, а чаще смешанные (ассоциативные) экопаразитарные патогенетические биоэкосистемы. Показано, что последние являются этиологическим фактором гиперпаразитарных и смешанных (ассоциативных) болезней (симбиоценозов) животных и человека. Современная технология ведения птицеводства создала некоторые неотложные проблемы по разностороннему изучению супер- и гиперпаразитарных патогенетических экосистем при реальной угрозе эпизоотического и эпидемиологического проявления ависимбиоценозов, а также непредвиденных (эмерджентных) болезней, вспышек инфекто-инвазионных патогенных симбиокомплексов. В связи с этим необходим авимониторинг с комплексной диагностикой ависимбиоценозов, позволяющей проводить интегрированную профилактику согласно концепции Национальной системы биологической безопасности Российской Федерации.
The Turning Point: The American Ceasefire Initiative between Israel and Egypt, August 1970
Authors: Gat Moshe
Published: December 2020

The ceasefire of August 1970 proved the United States' ability to set the wheels of the peace process in motion. The USSR did not partner with it en route to the ceasefire, and, in fact, was against it. The ceasefire between Israel and Egypt may be viewed as a turning point in Egyptian-American relations. It was Nasser who had led the United States to intervene in the peace process, without the help of the Soviets, creating an opportunity for the return of US clout in Egypt, after it had reached an unprecedented low during and after the Six Day War. In fact, after the ceasefire the United States was slowly becoming a major axis in the pollical process. For Egypt, the United States was the only power that would help in returning the occupied lands.

Published: December 2020

Throughout the ages, people have shown great interest in music and singing of all kinds, giving these expressive forms great importance in different eras. This article aims to comprehensively overview the etiquette, customs, and characteristic rules of polite performance in the profession of female solo singing in ancient and modern Egypt from a comparative view. This is achieved by reviewing the distinctive themes of female solo singers and their contexts in both ancient and modern Egypt. The article employs a descriptive-comparative methodology to provide a detailed sequential investigation and analysis of all the data collected on the subject and the themes of female solo singers; to discern the characteristic features of female solo singing etiquette in ancient Egypt; and to identify the similarities and differences of these features in the masters and famous models of modern Egypt. One of the main findings is that the distinctive characteristics of female solo singing in ancient Egypt have been inherited in the style of oriental but not western singing, and the greatest and most widely known model of the former style is “the Oriental singing lady Umm Kulthum”.
