Authors: Rempel K U , Williams-Jones A E , Fuller K
Published: October 2021

Experimental data on the solubility and speciation of uranium in hydrothermal solution is required to improve genetic models for the formation of ore deposits, yet very few data of this type have been published. Of particular interest is the oxidation state of
the uranium in solution, as conventional wisdom suggests that U is dissolved in the oxidized U(VI) state and precipitated as reduced U(IV) minerals, yet recent experiments have shown ppm-level solubility for U(IV).
This study investigated the mobility of reduced U(IV) and oxidized U(VI) in acidic (pH = 2), fluoride- bearing and alkaline (pH = 10), chloride-bearing solutions at 100-200°C and 1 to 15.8 bars (0.1-1.58 MPa). Preliminary data for the mobility of U(IV) in pH 2 fluids with 0.01 m F- show
concentrations of 1.76 to 3.92 ppm U at 200°C, indicating that, contrary to common belief, the reduced U(IV) can be transported in solution. We have also conducted experiments on U(VI) solubility in pH 2 fluoride-bearing, and pH 10 chloride-bearing solutions. Uranium concentrations in the F-
-bearing experiments ranged from 624 to 1570 ppm (avg. 825 ppm, n = 6) at 100°C, 670 to 1560 ppm (avg. 931 ppm, n = 4) at 150°C, and 3180 to 7550 ppm (avg. 5240, n = 9) at 200°C. In comparison, U concentrations in the Cl- -bearing runs range from 86.1 to 357 ppm (avg. 185 ppm, n = 15)
at 200°C. Clearly, oxidized U(VI) is very readily mobilized in hydrothermal fluids. However, the measured concentrations of U(VI) are independent of those of F- or Cl-, suggesting the formation of U oxide or hydroxide species rather than U chlorides or fluorides.
These experimental data will be verified and supplemented in future experiments, which will be used to derive the stoichiometry and thermodynamic constants for the dominant uranium species in hydrothermal solutions. The data from this study will then be integrated into a comprehensive genetic model
for uranium ore-forming systems.

Authors: Viswanath Sambhu , Thressiamma P. M. , Sunil M. B.
Published: October 2021

Background of the Study:

Protein energy malnutrition has been identified as a major health and nutrition problem in India. Hence, the investigator felt the need to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional supplement among preschool children in selected Anganwadis, Bengaluru.

Materials and Methods:

Using purposive sampling technique, a total of 60 samples were selected with 30 in experimental and 30 in control group. Quasi-experimental design with pretest nutritional assessment and posttest nutritional assessment with control design is used.

Results:

The prereading mean weight score was 11.49 and the postreading score increased to 12.28. Similarly, the prereading mean score of height 94.32 increased to a mean score of 94.52 in posttest. While considering the head circumference of the preschool children, the pretest mean score of 47.82 changed to 48.03 during the posttest. During the pretest, the mean reading of mid-arm circumference was 14.67, which then increased to a mean value of 14.80 during the posttest. The chest circumference of the children was 50.85 during the pretest which then increased to 51.01 during the posttest. Thus, an overall improvement had occurred in the anthropometric measurements of preschool children even though statistically, it is not significant.

Conclusion:

The overall findings of the study revealed that there was a marked improvement in the anthropometric measurements of preschool children. Hence, it can be concluded that the nutritional supplement was effective in improving the nutritional status of the children.
Efficacy of Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides in the Management of Mechanical Neck Pain
Authors: Shamsi Sharick , Alyazedi Faisal M. , Abdelkader Samiha Mohamed , Khan Shabana , Akhtar Ali
Published: October 2021

Background:

Neck pain is the second largest cause of disability worldwide. The chronic neck pain prevalence is 14% which is somewhat higher in females as compared to males. In India, the reported prevalence is 6%. Therapeutically, neck pain is managed by physiotherapists using rest, stretching and strengthening exercises, educating patient, and intense proprioception and positional exercises.

Aim:

We aimed to determine the evidences for the efficacy of sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAG s) in the management of mechanical neck pain.

Methods:

One hundred patients (age group: 25–45 years) who were diagnosed with neck pain, with onset >1–3 months (chronic), were randomly assigned to Group A receiving conventional physiotherapy plus SNAGs and Group B receiving conventional physiotherapy plus ultrasound (US). Treatment was given for three times a week for the period of 2 weeks, once a day for 6 sessions. Before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment, pain, range of motion (ROM), and neck disability were assessed on Visual Analog Scale (VAS), goniometer, and Neck Disability Index (NDI), respectively. This study was conducted in Raj Nursing and Paramedical College, Gorakhpur, ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT04617288.

Results:

Patients in Group A that received conventional physiotherapy plus SNAGs showed greater improvement in pain and ROM compared with the conventional physiotherapy plus US group on the 2nd week compared with pretreatment (P < 0.050).

Conclusion:

The result of the study suggests that both the SNAG and US groups improve the symptoms of neck pain. The US group improved the pain symptoms but was too small to reach satisfactory outcome for patients. Based on these results, conventional physiotherapy plus SNAGs should be the treatment of choice for neck pain rather than conventional physiotherapy plus US.

Herbal active compound with immunoregulator ability is considered a potential therapy for COVID-19 oral manifestation by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokine storm. Meanwhile, anthocyanin and ternatin are the active compounds in Clitoria ternatea, which may act as a potential immunoregulator for COVID-19 therapy. The intention of this investigation was to investigate anthocyanin and ternatin as active compounds in C. ternatea that may be able to increase anti-inflammatory cytokine and inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine and key proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This study implemented bioinformatic approach to analyze anthocyanin and ternatin as active compounds in C. ternatea with anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines and antiviral examination history through blind molecular docking study (in silico). Moreover, anthocyanins and ternatin were obtained from PubChem database by minimizing ligand structure in PyRx software to increase the flexibility. RCSB database was employed for preparing the protein samples consisting of interleukin (IL)-6, SARS-CoV-2-ACE2 glycoprotein complex, tumor necrosis factor-α receptor (TNF-αR), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), IL-6, IL-10, and human beta defensin-2 (HBD-2). In addition, The PyMol sofware was used to sterilize the protein samples to obtain the molecular docking optimization. This investigation found that, in the molecular docking simulation, the anthocyanin and ternatin showed producing the negative binding affinity to the ACE2 domain which interacted with RBD glycoprotein SARS-CoV-2. Anthocyanin and ternatin were then predicted to be able to influence any inhibitory activity of TNF-αR, MMP-9, and IL-6; increase IL-10; and increase HBD2 binding affinity values negatively. It can be predicted through molecular docking that anthocyanin and ternatin as the active compounds in C. ternatea contribute as a potential agent for COVID-19 oral manifestation therapy.

Published: October 2021

The decision to purchase a product is inseparable from the buyer's trust in a product. Testimonials are a tool for marketers to eliminate consumer barriers about the product to be purchased. Testimonials on home shopping television products tend to be controllable. The selection of sources, the use of scripts, and the editing process can be a form of media control over the information received by the public. This study focus on analyzing testimonials from the logical side of the testimony content. The method used to analyze this logical fallacy is qualitative content analysis. The text is separated using Toulmin's model into three parts, namely claim, ground, and warrant. This research uses a logical fallacy as a tool to evaluate the logic of the testimony in terms of content. The results of this study found that there was a logical fallacy in the testimony content. The fallacies include generalization fallacy, fallacy fallacies, fallacy of composition, appeal to wealth fallacy, appeal to pity, dan appeal to force.
Espionaje y normatividad colombiana, integridad del Estado Social de Derecho y la Seguridad Nacional
Authors: Ramírez Figueredo Sergio Andrés
Published: October 2021

Los riesgos del espionaje tradicional, donde ciudadanos extranjeros o nacionales efectúan contacto con agencias de seguridad o actores no estatales extranjeros, representan posibles caminos para la fuga de información del Estado, así como una vulnerabilidad ante potenciales daños a efectuarse en el territorio nacional, sea contra activos estratégicos, ciudadanos nacionales o intereses foráneos presentes en Colombia.

Las medidas normativas en Colombia, consignadas en el Código Penal, Ley 599 del 2000, estipulan la aprehensión de todo individuo o grupo de estos, detenido y juzgado por comprometer secretos de carácter vital para la seguridad del Estado. La arquitectura del Estado Social de Derecho, definida por la Constitución Política de 1991, exige la primacía de los parámetros de derechos humanos y DIH, como principio de legalidad que se extiende a casos de espionaje ejecutados por connacionales y extranjeros.

La prevención ante el ingreso o eventual trámite de expulsión a ciudadanos extranjeros acusados por acciones de espionaje son potestad de Migración Colombia; los cuerpos de inteligencia y contrainteligencia nacionales ejercen funciones de rastreo, prevención y monitoreo de eventuales focos de infiltración de actores externos o internos, pero el manejo último tanto de la situación de permanencia o status jurídico de los ciudadanos extranjeros acusados por espionaje son ámbito de la agencia de Migración y del sistema judicial encargado de definir la acción penal.

En consecuencia, el objetivo de investigación apunta a observar cómo coexisten la esfera garantista del DIH y los compromisos de Seguridad Nacional ante el fenómeno del espionaje en Colombia; ante lo cual como hipótesis se considera que el carácter disperso del contexto normativo encargado de tipificar tales actividades, afecta la aplicabilidad de medidas penales, de tal forma que el camino resolutorio es la activación de protocolos de expulsión del individuo o grupos de extranjeros relacionados con casos de espionaje.
La participación de la niñez a la luz de la sociología de las ausencias
Authors: Bernal Moreno Helber Mauricio
Published: October 2021

Este documento propone una discusión y reflexión frente a los distintos elementos empleados por los adultos para configurar los discursos y prácticas de los niños y las niñas como ausentes. En tal sentido, no sólo se busca evidenciar que estas estrategias invisibilizan la participación del infante, sino que profundizan posiciones jerárquicas y relaciones de poder, donde el adulto toma las sesiones y el menor de edad se debe limitar a la obediencia. De esta manera, se pretende cuestionar la naturalización de dichas jerarquías, destacando que estas son más producto de la intencionalidad de algunos adultos que de la incapacidad del niño o la niña por participar activa e influyentemente.

Todo lo anterior, se fundamenta a partir de la propuesta conceptual de “La Sociología de las Ausencias” de Boaventura De Sousa Santos, donde se destacan algunas monoculturas que son empleadas dentro de la cultura occidental como estrategia para acentuar el dominio de determinados actores sobre otros (en este caso del adulto sobre el niño y la niña).

Patterns of ecosystem functioning as tool for biological regionalization: the case of the Mediterranean-desert-tropical transition of Baja California
Authors: P. Cazorla Beatriz , P. Garcillán Pedro , Cabello Javier , Alcaraz-Segura Domingo , Reyes Andrés , Peñas Julio
Published: October 2021

Large-scale ecological variations across Earth have important consequences for biodiversity and, therefore, forbiological conservation. Despite the widespread use of ecological maps in conservation schemes, they have been based mainly on structural and compositional features but scarcely on functional dimensions of life. Incorporating functional variables complements and improves the descriptions of regionalizations and offers a new understanding of biodiversity patterns. The development of remote sensing measurement allows for the description of the functional patterns of ecosystems through Ecosystem Functional Types (EFTs), opening new opportunities to analyze the geography of life. This article aims to examine the relationships between ecological regionalization based on components and structure and patterns of ecosystem functioning. As proof of case, we chose the Baja California peninsula, whose singularity has generated a rich variety of ecological and biogeographical interpretations, mainly based on ecosystem components and structure. We hypothesize that patterns in ecosystem functioning reflect ecoregionalization based on composition and structure features. We identified Ecosystem Functional Types (EFTs), from three descriptors of the seasonal curves of MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) from 2001 to 2017. We characterized each ecoregion in terms of ecosystem functioning and we carried out a correspondence analysis between the EFTs classification and the ecoregions. At a large scale, EFTs showed a pattern with three general regions from northwest to south, capturing the north-south transition of climatic regimes shown in the ecoregions map, from the northwestern Mediterranean area to the southern tropical zone, with a desert transition area between them. However, differences between the functional characterization and some ecoregions were detected in ecoregions identified as discrepancy areas between authors. In particular, some ecoregions considered Mediterranean showed a Desert character in its functioning, and others considered as Desert were Tropical functionally. EFTs remotely sensed measured at regional scales provide the basis for a more comprehensive regionalization of geographical patterns of life and, therefore, an improvement for future conservation purposes.

Researching the agro-industrial complex development in formation of the Eurasian economic Union context is intended to assess the impact on agricultural production stability and competitiveness and its growth in integration process.
Using the following indicators to assess the international economic integration process was carried out effects assessment of interstate integration on stability and competitiveness Kazakhstan’s agricultural sector: the economic openness indicator, the share of mutual trade turnover in the total trade turnover, the index of intra-industry trade for two countries case and one industry (the Grubel-Lloyd index), the preference coefficient, the mutual preference coefficient, the relative preference coefficient.
Countries that are members to the integration Union get a number of dynamic advantages, which are showed in integration development process in the long term. There are not excluded the probability of the following negative integration effects – unilateral advantages for more developed member countries, price increases due to the formation of member countries’ transnational companies, demonstrations of descending economies effects scale (losses on scale).
In general, the positive effects of integration, both static and dynamic, exceed the negative ones.

Исследуя развитие агропромышленного комплекса в условиях формирования Евразийского экономического союза, предполагается оценить влияние на устойчивость и конкурентоспособность аграрного производства нарастание интеграционного процесса.
С помощью показателей, позволяющих оценить процесс международной экономической интеграции: показатель открытости экономики, доля оборота взаимной торговли в общем обороте торговли, индекс внутриотраслевой торговли для случая двух стран и одной отрасли (индекс Грубеля-Ллойда), коэффициент предпочтения, коэффициент взаимного предпочтения, коэффициент относительного предпочтения, проведена оценка эффектов межгосударственной интеграции на устойчивость и конкурентоспособность аграрного сектора Казахстана.
Страны, входящие в интеграционный союз, получают ряд динамических преимуществ, которые проявляются в процессе развития интеграции в долгосрочном периоде, где не исключается вероятность возникновения негативных эффектов интеграции - односторонних преимуществ для более развитых стран-участниц, повышение цен вследствие формирования транснациональных компаний стран-участниц, проявлений нисходящего эффекта масштаба (потерь на масштабе).
В целом позитивные эффекты интеграции, как статические, так и динамические, превышают негативные.

Published: October 2021

Information communication technologies (ICTs) are a tool that is used by a large number of stakeholders in the tourism industry for product distribution and transacting. This is a result of the development of technology and a response to changes in customer purchasing behaviour. The study aimed at determining the ICT adoption and use by Zimbabwean tour operators. The qualitative research method was used through face –to- face interviews with key informants from the tourism industry. The study revealed that the majority of tour operators had not adopted information communication technologies in their business operations. This was a result of a number of factors for example, lack of knowledge about ICTs, limited information communication technologies infrastructure in the country and lack of appropriate government policies on ICTs. The study concluded that if the tour operators continue to use the current outdated business models the enterprises will gradually decline and close down. It is recommended that the government implements training programmes that are aimed at improving the tour operators’ knowledge about the role that ICTs play as part of a business strategy as well as improving their general knowledge about the tourism industry. The study further recommended that local tour operators seek partnership with international tour operators selling holiday packages to Zimbabwe. This will help the tour operators to lip-frog the “digital divide” at the same time giving them a chance for long term survival.

Published: October 2021

This study aims to identify the impact of job stress on the job performance of the nurses working in the Jordanian public hospitals in city of Irbid, to investigate whether there is a relationship between job stress and job performance, and on check if there are any statistically significant discrepancies in the level of job stress attributed to the variable (gender, age, educational qualification, marital status, work experience, workplace). In order to achieve objectives of the study, a questionnaire has been designed and developed for the purpose of data collection, copies of this questionnaire were distributed to a sample of (306) individuals accounted for 50% of the study of the population of the study which equals to (612) nurses, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) has been used to analyze the questionnaire data, depending on the frequencies, percentages and averages, and Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis to test the validity of the model, the effect of the independent variable dimensions (job stress) on the independent variable dimensions (job performance), the test (T) was used as well. The study concluded a range of results, most notably: The job stress of the nurses working at the Jordanian public hospitals in the city of Irbid was of a moderate level. The job performance of the nurses working at the Jordanian public hospitals in the city of Irbid was of a high level. There is a statistically significant inverse relationship between job stress and job performance. There were no statistically significant discrepancies in the level of job stress attributed to the variable (gender, age, educational qualification, marital status, work experience, workplace).
Capítulo 2. Las Políticas públicas de comunicación y los Indicadores de Rentabilidad Social en la Radio Comercial
Authors: Chaparro Escudero Manuel , Gabilondo Victoria , Mohammadiane Amal , García Castillejo Ángel
Published: October 2021

Se abordan desde este capítulo las dificultades detectadas en la aplicación del IRSCOM ante la opacidad empresarial de las radios comerciales. El derecho del oyente a saber quién informa no impide el libre ejercicio de la libertad de expresión, en todo caso lo fortalece. La posición dominante de tres grupos y la concentración de licencias en su día otorgadas en concursos y hoy objeto de negocio jurídico, marcan una tendencia peligrosa donde el éxito de las marcas y su seguimiento en audiencia no justifican la pseudoprivatización del espacio radioeléctrico y el abandono de las coberturas locales y autonómicas. La aplicación del indicador de referencia viene a mostrar una vez más que la transparencia empresarial es una asignatura pendiente. La exigencia de transparencia no sorprende cuando se pide a instancias públicas, pero provoca protestas cuando se exige a quienes ocupan un dominio público y tienen responsabilidades en la formación de la opinión pública. El análisis del comportamiento de cadenas refleja el abandono de sus obligaciones con los contenidos de proximidad y la flexibilización normativa que hace posible esta grave anomalía. Lógicamente el incumplimiento legal no existe cuando la transparencia no ha sido correctamente regulada, o cuando aun estándolo son superadas por la falta de control. Sin embargo; la ética, no entiende de estos oportunismos legales.

Prólogo. La hoja de ruta de la comunicación en democracia: transparencia, pluralismo, diversidad
Authors: Bustamante Enrique
Published: October 2021

Es un honor presentar los resultados de la investigación realizada por el Laboratorio de Comunicación y Cultura COMAndalucía, como lo fue participar en 2015 en la publicación que sintetizó los resultados del IRSCOM (Indicador de Rentabilidad Social en Comunicación), del que estos textos constituyen una prolongación profundizada. Y lo es sobre todo por la valentía y la consecuencia de sus trabajos en los últimos años, a contracorriente de un pensamiento dominante que pretende marginar estos debates de la agenda democrática, sobre la interesada presuposición de que se trata de temas anticuados y superados por la abundancia y la interactividad de la Sociedad de la Información.Ciertamente, es preciso recuperar la amplia tradición occidental de un siglo de luchas sociales que abocaron a regulaciones antimonopolio tanto en los Estados Unidos (Federal Communication Comission) como en la mayoría de los grandes países europeos, contra los procesos de concentración amenazadores para el pluralismo que se producían en la radio y la televisión comercial. También en América Latina existe una rica historia de pensadores y acciones sociales que mantuvieron durante décadas la bandera del derecho a la comunicación, como una base fundamental de la participación activa de la ciudadanía en los procesos políticos y sociales frente a la reducción de los ciudadanos a una categoría pasiva y misérrima de simples consumidores.

Cybersecurity education topics require technical understanding. However, it is a challenging task for any teacher to introduce topics to students who have no technical background. Recently, the concept of gamification has been implemented as a tool to inculcate student’s interest using a variety of popular in-games techniques and applying them to educational modules. Extending from this notion, it was found that Capture the Flag (CTF) competition style is a successful way of introducing students to various technical concepts in the standard computer science curriculum. During the 2019 school holiday, a CTF for secondary school students was run at Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) with the primary goal of introducing secondary school students to various cybersecurity topics and also to inculcate their interest in cybersecurity. The method that we used is different from other CTF or similar events, in which we use a scenario-based approach. We found that this method attracts participants in solving each challenge in a competitive environment.

Published: October 2021

Prenatal genetic vehicles that lead to facial and cranial dysmorphias, specifically craniosynostosis, are seen in a spectrum of synostotic syndromes that include apert, crouzon, Kleeblattschadel deformity, saethre-chotzen, muenke, cranio-fronto-nasal syndrome, Robinow-Sorauf syndrome and beare-stevenson-cutis-gyrata syndrome. Specific genes involved in cranio-synostotic syndromes include: TWIST1, EFNB1, GLI2, DMD, YWHAE, IRAK2, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, CNTNAP2, ADAMTS18, SKI, MECP2, KIFBP, TCF12, H2AL1P, GAGE12D and possibly HDAC9. Regarding protein expression, conserved domains found in rpsblast for craniosynostosis using the NCBI homologene tool show IGc2 (smart00408) immunoglobulin C-2 Type, PKc_like (cl09925) Protein Kinases, catalytic domain, Ig (cl11960) Immunoglobulin domain. A discussion of all the syndromes involving craniosynostosis is beyond the scope of this paper. We will discuss the clinical features, genetics, cognitive development and associated psychiatric conditions of the more common syndromes involving craniosynostosis. We theorize that the clinical features and genetics of craniosynostosis involve a spectrum of syndromes on which there is variable severity and involvement of impaired cognition and developmental disorders.
