Authors: Liu Xin , Wen Songsong , Sun Zhenliang , Wang Changyun
Published: May 2022

Background: Seaweed Complex Preparation (SCP) is a clinical traditional Chinese medicine preparation composed of seven

traditional Chinese herbs, and has been used for treatment of lung cancer, liver cancer and digestive cancer.

Materials and Methods: In this study, the potential bioactive constituents of SCP were isolated and identified by chromatographic

and spectroscopic methods. The immunomodulatory and DPPH radical scavenging activities of the constituents were also evaluated

in vitro.

Results: Forty-three compounds were isolated from the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions of the decocted extracts. More than 10

structural types of chemical constituents were found, including flavonoid glycosides, flavonoids, phenolic acid compounds, lignans,

iridoid glycosides, and polysaccharides mainly composed of galactose and glucose. Flavonoid glycosides exhibited potential

immunomodulatory by promoting splenic lymphocyte proliferation and stimulating the secretion of cytokines IL-2 and IFN-γ, as

well as free radical (DPPH) scavenging activities. Caffeic acid derivatives showed remarkable free radical (DPPH) scavenging

activity, while polysaccharides also displayed immunological enhancement effects.

Conclusion: Four molecular communities, flavonoid glycosides, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and polysaccharides, might be the

potential bioactive components of SCP. Synergism of these four molecular communities in SCP may endue the anticancer properties

and reflect the feature of multi-components and multi-targets of traditional Chinese medicine formula.

Authors: Li Yonghui , Tan Yin-feng , Wei Na , Zhang Jun-qing
Published: May 2022

Background: Alpinia oxyphylla fruit (AOF, Yizhi in Chinese) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine as an anti-diuretic agent

and composed of two parts i.e. seed and shell. These two parts have different components, but the bioactivity differences of the two

parts are not clear. This study aims to evaluate the different anti-diuretic effects of the seed and shell of AOF.

Materials and Methods: The potential bioactive components were analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. The diuretic and anti-diuretic

activity was determined with saline-loads rats.

Results: The results showed that the 200 mg/kg and 400mg/kg of SREAO displayed a short-time anti-diuretic activity 1h after

administration and then a significant diuretic activity was being observed at 5-6 h in 400mg/kg group of SREAO. And the 400mg/kg

doses of SREAO also showed a remarkable increase for electrolyte excretion of K+. Three sesquiterpene compounds, namely

oxyphyllol A (1), oxyphyllol B (2), and nootkatone (3) were identified from the active SREAO fraction by UHPLC-ESI-Q-TOF/MS.

Conclusion: The seed part of Alpinia oxyphylla possessed pronounced diuretic and anti-diuretic effect. The sesquiterpene

components are the major constituents and possibly contributed the diuretic and anti-diuretic activity.
THE PURVIEW OF PHYTOTHERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF KIDNEY DISORDERS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON NIGERIA AND SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Saheed Sabiu , Hendrik O’Neill Frans , Omotayo Tom Ashafa Anofi
Published: May 2022

Background: The kidney is tasked with a number of metabolic functions in the body. In its role as a detoxifier and primary

eliminator of xenobiotics, it becomes vulnerable to developing injuries. Currently, over 1 million people in the world are living on

renal replacement therapies (RRTs). The case in sub-Sahara African countries like Nigeria and South Africa is not any better than

the global trend.

Materials and Methods: A systematic review of medicinal plants used in the treatment of kidney disorders was conducted.

Information were gathered from published scientific journals, books, reports from national, regional and international institutions,

conference proceedings and other high profile intellectual resources. MeSH words like ‘prevalence of kidney disorders in Africa’,

‘renal replacement therapy’, ‘nephrotoxins or nephrotoxicants’, ‘nephroprotective plants’, ‘nephroprotective plants in Nigeria or

South Africa’ and ‘nephroprotective phytocompounds’ were used to retrieve information from online databases (Google, Pubmed,

MEDLINE, Science Direct, Scopus and SID).

Results: Interestingly, our findings revealed that phytotherapy has emerged and is being employed to protect renal functions and

delay progression of renal pathological conditions into end episodes where the last resort is RRT. In fact, in recent times,

Phytotherapists are not only interested in developing relatively safe, more affordable, easily accessible and potent nephroprotective

formulations but also increasing awareness on the prevalence of the disease and educating the populace on the probable preventive

measures. More importantly, efforts at scientifically elucidating the pharmacological efficacy of the identified nephroprotective

plants yet to be validated must be intensified through informed expert opinions. Till date, there is paucity of information on the

concept of nephroprotection in most developing countries where kidney disorder is a major threat. Although, the concept is just

emerging in South Africa, evidences have given credence to its application in complementary and alternative system of medicine in

Nigeria.

Conclusion: This review, therefore, reawaken researchers’ consciousness in the continuous search for auspicious nephroprotective

plants that could potentially be excellent candidates in developing new lead drugs to manage and treat renal disorders.

Background: The fortuitous discovery of an animal pigment bilirubin found in the plant Strelitzia nicolai has opened

an enormous number of questions regarding bilirubin’s formation and its ultimate function in the human body.

Materials and Methods: A methodical review of bilirubin in humans and animals was carried out, information was

gathered using published scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Articles based on case studies of

elevated levels of bilirubin were analysed thoroughly.

Results: Even though for numerous years bilirubin was assumed to be merely a desecrate product of the heme catabolic

pathway by greatest, and a likely lethal compound at worst; statistics from the last few decades clearly shows that

placidly high serum bilirubin levels are robustly related to have abundant beneficial effects on the human body.

Conclusion: This study reveals new insights into the presence of the only animal pigment found in Strelitzia nicolai

arils, the potential advantages of bilirubin found in a plant and its therapeutic value indications. This review hopes to

resuscitate researchers’ credence regarding bilirubin as a toxic compound.
Psychological Well-Being of Australian Actors and Performing Artists: Life Satisfaction and Negative Affect
Authors: Szabó Marianna , Seton Mark , Maxwell Ian , Cunningham Mitchell L
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Anecdotal evidence and media reports suggest that actors and other performing artists experience high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. However, no empirical study has examined the psychological well-being of this professional group. OBJECTIVE: The Australian Actors’
Wellbeing Study (AWS) was conducted to examine the general wellbeing of Australian actors and performing artists. The present paper, reporting on data from the AWS, focuses on two aspects of respondents’ psychological well-being: life satisfaction and the experience of negative affect.
METHODS: An online survey including several questionnaires was distributed to the Equity Foundation membership representing Australian actors. We report results from the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) and examine their associations with
respondents’ sociodemographic and occupational background, including their relationship status and any relationship stress, income from performing, and time taken away from performing. RESULTS: A sample of 782 Australian actors responded to the survey, with 582 participants completing
the DASS and 568 the SWLS. Participants reported lower levels of life satisfaction and higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress than found in the Australian general population. Being in a relationship was associated with better psychological well-being; however, work stress often impacted
negatively on relationships. Income had little association with psychological well-being, unless the respondent felt under financial stress. Respondents who took extended periods of time away from performing reported less life satisfaction and more depression than others. CONCLUSION: Australian
actors may be at a high risk for poor psychological health. Further research is necessary to establish causality among the variables we examined and to investigate protective factors that may increase well-being in the context of the performing arts industry.

Published: May 2022

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an important oil producing fruit species and it has been cultivated since ancient times. Turkey is rich in local olive varieties and it is necessary to determine their pomological parameters. The aim of the present study was to determine the pomological characteristics of five olive varieties (Çekişte, Memecik, Yamalak sarısı, Eşek zeytini, Gemlik) at five harvest periods (H1-H5) throughout the fruit development period. Olives were collected from an orchard in Aydın at monthly intervals between July and November 2019. During fruit development and ripening, 10 pomological variables (fruit width and length, seed width and length, fruit and seed weight, flesh weight, flesh/seed ratio, flesh firmness and fruit moisture content) were measured. All pomological variables exhibited significant differences between harvest periods and varieties. While fruit ripening indices of the varieties increased over time, level of change differed among the varieties. During fruit ripening of olive varieties, fruit length and width, fruit weight, seed length and width, fruit flesh weight and flesh/seed ratio increased significantly, while flesh firmness and fruit water contents decreased. Seed weight increased between H1-H3 periods, but it did not show a significant change at the later stages of fruit development. These results show that important physiological changes occur starting from the pit hardening of the olive varieties and continue throughout the fruit growth and ripening.

Improved multi-reservoir operation rules of water supply system based on target storage curves
Authors: Fang Hongbin , Li Xinjie , Shang Wenxiu , Wang Liang
Published: May 2022

This paper proposes a multi-reservoir operating policy for water supply by combining target storage curves with the hedging rule. The curves are derived to solve the allocation problem of joint demand. There are three steps in the proposed methodology: Firstly, the optimal release schedule using dynamic programming to solve a long-term operation model is established, from which the suitable forms of target storage curves are identified. Secondly, a simulation and optimization model is built to identify the key points of the curves with the hedging rule based on aggregated reservoir using improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO). Finally, synthetic inflow series is used to test and verify the efficiency of the proposed rule. The water-supply multi-reservoir system located in the Liaoning province of China is employed as a case study to verify the effect of the proposed operating policy and the efficiency of target storage curves. The results indicate that the proposed operating policy is suitable to handle the multi-reservoir operation problem, especially for periods of drought. The target storage curves also show improved performance for distribution of system storages.

The analysis of the structure and chemical state of the polyaniline/multi-walled carbon nanotube interface layer was carried out using the both methods of Near Edge X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. An analysis of the photoelectron spectra showed an increase in the content of covalently bound chlorine, which may be due to the functionalization of nanotubes during the polymer synthesis. The spectrum shows two states of the chloride anion, which are assigned to the polaron (Cl*) and bipolaron (Cl–) forms of PANI. The content of Cl* increases in the interface layer, which indicates an increase in its electrical conductivity.

The first results of the electrons drift velocity study in inverted AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic heterostructures with donor-acceptor doping and short-period AlAs/GaAs superlattices are presented. It is theoretically shown that the introduction of superlattices significantly, up to one and a half times, increases the electrons drift velocity overshot when they enter the region of a strong field. Localized states in the superlattice between the quantum well and the substrate have been found. It is shown that this effect leads to an additional increase in the electrons drift velocity overshot up to the theoretical limit for the model used, i.e., a drift velocity overshot in the bulk material of the quantum well.

The results of measuring the charge-discharge characteristics of solid-state thin-film lithium-ion batteries with a nanocomposite anode based on a-Si(Al) solid solution are presented. The charging characteristics of batteries have a feature in the form of a step on the gentle branch of the curve. It has been suggested and substantiated that the appearance of the step is related to the gradual compensation and change of the a-Si(Al) hole conductivity to electronic one as the lithium concentration increases. As a result, the a-Si(Al)|Ti ohmic contact becomes rectifying, and the electrons participating in the Faraday process are forced to overcome the Schottky barrier. The potential growth required to maintain the galvanostatic charge regime appears as a step on the charge curve.

Universities are the peak of knowledge hence the community expects that workers in such institutions be in the frontline in making informed investment decisions. Although the university staff work in the same environment, it has not yet been established how their different investor characteristics affect their investment decisions. There is scanty information on the moderating effect of mobile borrowing on the relationship between investors’ risk attitude, demographic profile, and socio-economic status on investment decisions. This study investigated the effect of the investor characteristics on investment decision. The objectives of the study were to; assess the effect of investor risk attitude on investment decision among public university workers in Kenya, test the effect of the investor demographic profile on investment decisions among public university workers in Kenya, and determine the effect of socio-economic status on investment decision among public university workers in Kenya. Finally, the study examined the moderating effect of mobile borrowing on the effect of investor risk attitude and socio-economic status on investment decision among public university workers in Kenya. Capital Asset Pricing Model, Efficient Markets Hypothesis, Prospect Theory and Behavioural Finance Theory guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design with a target population of 2075 workers from the sampled Public Universities in Kenya. Stratified random sampling technique was employed from which a sample of 336 was used. Further, the study used primary data sources through a structured questionnaire. The questionnaires were administered using google forms. Data was analysed with the aid of SPSS version 26 software and Microsoft excel. Charts, tables, graphs, and figures were used to present the results. The results of the study indicated that risk attitude played the biggest role in investment decision-making since it explained 41.7 percent of investment decision. In addition, all the demographic factors influenced the choice of investment. The results also showed that investors in the age of 31-40 were willing to diversify their investments unlike the other age groups. Mobile borrowing was found to moderate the relationship between investment decision and its predictors. The study recommends that a similar study is conducted once the government operationalises the mobile lending control. Since workers between 31-40 years were found to have a much higher affinity for risk and investment, the government should consider targeting civil servants and other professionals in this age group by providing them with investment incentives.
Driving and Advanced Age

Published: May 2022

Background: Advanced aged people continue to use their vehicles, utlising them for a wide variety of purposes. Within that age group female drivers from both New Zealand Maori and non-Maori are predominantly noticeable. Method: Following the first wave of the LiLAC Study the present study examined the results of the Transport and Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living sub-sections involving New Zealand Maori aged between 75-95 years and non-Maori participants only aged 85 years. Questions asked of the recipients involved whether they had ever driven, did the still drive, how often and how far they drove in a typical week; and why they drove. Analysis of the results were conducted using a scaled questionnaire, binomial logistic regression, chi-square tests for association, ordinal logistic regression and descriptive analysis.Results: Participant number totalled 931 with 421 New Zealand Maori and 510 New Zealand Maori non-Maori. New Zealand Maori: Nearly double the number of females had ever driven. Of those who do drive both male (73) and female (69) indicated that they did, although females also offered the service of driving to both family and non-family members. Females also presented 1.028 higher odds of having ever driven a car. However, as New Zealand Maori aged a reduction in having ever driven was shown in the results (0.688). Typical weekly use of the car by New Zealand Maori males was grouped (p-value = 0.063), whereas female Maori took the car out daily. Increase in age was found not to be associated with how often New Zealand Maori drove. The odds ratio of Maori males was greater than that of females (p-value = 0.463), similarly with age (p-value = 0.192). In comparison both male and female covered a wide distance, although most noticeable were ones made 1.5-25 kilometres.New Zealand non-Maori: New Zealand non-Maori like New Zealand Maori females were also in the majority as to the number having ever driven. Of those still driving a higher number of males (154) compared to female (136) non-Maori were shown to be still driving. However, unlike New Zealand Maori, none of the non-Maori indicated that they offered their driving services to someone else. Typical weekly driving scores between male and female were not statistically significant different (p = 0.201). Median driving distances for male and female were the same (3.00). A varied use of the car was apparent by both New Zealand Maori and non-Maori.Conclusion: Maintaining independence is of primary concern to both New Zealand Maori and non-Maori. To enable this population group to remain as a contributing part of their community further research is required into their decision making, the licensing procedure and surrounding support facilities.
Government Policy on Transport Options Directed towards the Advanced Age
Authors: Beaton Jacqueline , Kerse Ngaire , Connolly Martin
Published: May 2022

Background: Response was noteworthy by both gender and cultural grouping New Zealand Maori and non-Maori to the question of transport options for older people.Method: Respondents were asked to rate government policy along a scale of very unhappy-to- very happy. These results were then analysed using ordinal logistic regression, Mann Whitney U test and descriptive analysis.Results: Participants totalled 931 with 421 New Zealand Maori and 510 New Zealand Maori non-Maori.New Zealand Maori: Within the three age categories (83-86, 87-89 & 90-93) it was New Zealand Maori males aged between 87-89 years followed by 83-86 years who indicated that they were predominantly happy or neither happy/unhappy with government policy. Males aged between 90-93 years were also very happy or had a marginal view of the legislation. For New Zealand Maori females instead a comparable number of those aged between 83-86 years view indicated that they either very happy to being neither happy or unhappy with the policy. Whereas for the next age grouping (87-89 years) their opinion reduced slightly to those who were either happy or neither happy/unhappy. A position similarly held by New Zealand Maori females aged 90 years plus.New Zealand non-Maori: Both New Zealand non-Maori male and female results demonstrated a similar pattern with them being mainly happy with the legislation, then neither happy or unhappy to being very happy. Conclusion: Generally it could be said that results from both New Zealand Maori and non-Maori were relatively impartial towards government transport legislation sitting either on the fence or just slightly above.
On Ideological and Political Education in Translation Teaching from the Perspective of Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind
Authors: Saisai Huang
Published: May 2022

Building a community with a shared future for mankind is a new solution to global governance offered by China in the new era. In view of this national strategy, foreign language education should not focus only on skills learning, but also on moral education. Translation studies provide rich elements of moral education for Ideological and Political Education (IPE), such as translation theory, translation examples and translators' professional qualities. The paper proposes the principles and practices of integrating IPE into translation teaching. Besides, the Chinese-English Translation Course from Foreign Language Schools of Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics Dongfang College is exemplified to show the whole process of integration.

The present work was carried out to study, through track analysis, the characteristics that most influence grain yield in corn genotypes. The trials were conducted in 2017/18, in the municipality of Santa Maria of Barreiras – PA, a region located in the Cerrado-Amazon Ecótono. Two competition trials of maize cultivars were installed, one in low phosphorus conditions, with 50 kg ha-1from P2O5, and another under high phosphorus, with 100 kg ha-1from P2O5. The experimental design used in each assay was randomized blocks with three replicates and ten treatments (genotypes). The treatments consisted of cultivars found in the local market, which were AG8088PRO2, BRS3046, PR27D28, ANHEMBI, CATIVERDE, 2B655PW, BR206, AG1051, AL BANDEIRANTE, and ORION. The characteristics of plant height were evaluated (AP), height of the spike (AE), diameter of spike (DE), length of spike (CE), and number of grains in row (NGE), weight of the spike (PE) and productivity (PROD). The track analysis was done through the computer program Genes. The variable PE presented the greatest direct effect on yield in corn genotypes in the Cerrado-Amazon region, being the most indicated for indirect selection for grain yield.

Published: May 2022

The present work seeks to evaluate the rental value of a commercial room in The Business Center building, in Manaus. In order to meet the proposal, a case study was used as well as a quantitative research. A linear regression model was also used, obtained from a sample of 37 data from commercial rooms collected randomly and identified in a spreadsheet, whose independent variables that formed the value were: private area, basic value, neighborhood, neighborhood income, state of conservation, constructive standard and unit value. The model was analyzed according to the degree of justification, according to NBR 14653-2: 2011, where it met 3 items provided for in the standard, 1 for Grade II (Minimum amount of market data, effectively used) and 2 (Significance level (sum of the value of the two tails) maximum for rejecting the null hypothesis of each regressor (two-tailed test) and Maximum significance level admitted for rejecting the null hypothesis of the model through Snedecor's F test) for attribution of Grade III, this being the higher degree of attribution to a regression model. It is recommended that the database of commercial rooms in the city of Manaus is always updated and that this evaluation methodology is used for other typologies, such as: single-family and multi-family homes, land and the like.

Independence of local self-government in conditions of unified public authority system formation
Authors: Babaeva Yuliya G.
Published: May 2022

The article concerns the issues related to the determination of local self-government bodies' role in the unified system of public power, which is being formed due to the implementation of the constitutional reform on effective interaction between state and municipal bodies. The author examines the concept of the “unified system of public authority”, identifying the key semantic meanings that influence its formation, and analyzes the prospects of local self-government bodies either to preserve or loose independence as a result of their inclusion in the unified system of public authority (Federal Law No. 394-FZ of December 8, 2020, On the State Council of the Russian Federation).
Enrico Ferri on the criminal process
Authors: Trefilov Aleksandr A.
Published: May 2022

The article examines the views of the outstanding Italian criminologist Enrico Ferri on various issues of criminal justice, expressed in “Criminal Sociology”. It analyzes his arguments concerning the goals of justice, stability of the criminal code, the need for unity of civil and military justice. The article offers counterarguments against Enrico Ferri’s list of exceptions to the principle of the presumption of innocence. At the same time the views of the thinker concerning the expediency of abandoning the principle of collegiality and the jury trial are of certain interest. His ideas on three types of sentences (acquittal, indictment and under suspicion) and on the need to reason the final act of justice have been considered. Enrico Ferri’s thoughts on the amnesty and pardon, rehabilitation, revision of acquittals, possibility of stricter sentence in verification proceedings, etc. are obviously enriching the science of the criminal process. This article may be of interest to anyone who is engaged in the issues of criminal procedure, criminal law, and criminology, as well as the history of these legal sciences.
The role of digitalization on the interaction of judicial and notarial authorities in conciliation procedures
Authors: Begichev Alexander V.
Published: May 2022

The article studies the issues of digital interaction between the court and the notary in the out of court conciliation procedures, which allows establishing new forms of protection of rights and legitimate interests of citizens and legal entities in resolving civil disputes. The author analyzes the possibilities of digital justice and derives the criteria for interaction between the notaries and the court when using mediation agreements concluded in a notarial form. The current state of the human rights activities of the electronic notary in certification of distance mediation agreements has been studied. The purpose of the article is to form an idea of new possibilities of the notary for notarizing remote mediation agreements and forming a promising platform for digital interaction between the notaries and the court, based on the analysis of legal acts and scientific sources. Among the methods applied are comparative legal, description, interpretation, and theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Private-scientific methods including legal-dogmatic, and the method of interpreting legal norms were also used. The study showed that the remote execution of mediation agreements that have the status of enforcement documents, in the context of the increasing influence of digital technologies on the human rights activities of the court and notaries, is gaining importance in protecting the rights of subjects of economic relations, which provides an opportunity to reduce the burden on the court and save costly resources to reach consensus in a legal conflict for shorter time.
