Weed Dynamics and Productivity of Direct Wet Seeded Rice under Different Weed Management Practices
Authors: Kokilam M. Vasantha , Rathika S. , Ramesh T. , Baskar M.
Published: December 2020

Background: Weeds are the major biotic constraint to reduce the rice productivity in direct wet seeded rice. Weed infestation and competition are severe in direct wet seeded rice as compared to transplanted rice, because of the simultaneous growth of both crops and weeds. The yield loss due to weeds varies from 40 to 100 per cent in direct seeded rice. Use of herbicides either singly or in combination with manual or mechanical weeding in puddled direct seeded rice has been highlighted by several workers. Use of alternative herbicides with wide spectrum control of the weeds in direct seeded puddled rice is the need of the present time. The present study aimed to evaluate different weed management practices in direct wet seeded rice under sodic soil. Methods: A field experiment was conducted during Samba season (Rabi) 2016-17. to evaluate the weed management practices in direct wet seeded rice under sodic soil. The treatments comprised of different combination of weed management practices viz., pre emergence, early post emergence herbicides, mechanical weeding and hand weeding twice were tested. Total weed density and weed dry weight, weed control efficiency, yield parameters and yield of rice were recorded. Result: Among the different weed management practices, the lowest total weed density, total weed dry weight and higher WCE, yield attributes, grain and straw yields were registered under application of PE pyrazosulfuron ethyl 25 g/ha fb EPOE bispyribac sodium 25 g/ha. This was followed by application of PE pretilachlor 0.75 kg/ha fb EPOE bispyribac sodium 25 g/ha.

Authors: Paul Anirban , Bairagya Koyel Das , Banerjee Nirmalya , Roy Anjalika
Published: December 2020

Background: This research work describes about toxicity estimation of commonly used fungicide copper oxychloride using Pisum sativum L. and Vigna radiata L. as a bioindicator. Methods: The seeds of P. sativum and V. radiata were treated with different concentrations of fungicide. Biological toxicity measured by seed germination percentage, R/P ratio, total leaf chlorophyll, total leaf proline, total seed protein, mitotic index, abnormality index and mitotic inhibition. Result: Linear regression analysis showed that seed germination percentage, total seed protein, abnormality index and mitotic inhibition show positive correlation with increasing concentration of fungicide copper oxychloride. The R/P ratio of 4th and 8th days, mitotic index, total leaf chlorophyll and leaf proline have negative correlation along increasing concentration of fungicide. However total leaf proline of V. radiata at 2% concentration of fungicide is abruptly higher than control and other concentrations. The application of copper oxychloride at lower concentration can be used as a safe fungicide.

Published: December 2020

Background: Several major crops have been genetically eroded due to introduction of new material but cowpea have great potential and wide genetic base of novel significance. A new strategy of cowpea evaluation was adopted to investigate the potential of 71 landraces representing 31 districts of Pakistan through multivariate analysis to devise future plan for germplasm conservation. Methods: Cowpea 71 landraces collected from 31 districts were planted under field conditions in an augmented design. Plant descriptors qualitative traits (plant color, leaf shape, plant type, twining tendency, anthocynin pigment and fodder types) and agronomic traits (plant height, branches, pods, grain yield, biomass and harvest index) were recorded. Protein banding pattern was established. Similarity index, variance were calculated and phylogenetic trees were constructed by software “Statistica”. Result: Four cowpea landraces showed tremendous performance to phenotypic as well as protein banding pattern variation viz., Pk-27154 (Jhang), Pk-27047 (Vehari), Pk-27029 (Sialkot) and Pk-27107 (Bahawalpur). High inter and intra variation suggested further genotype x environmental interaction trials at multi-locations. Sampling from the neglected areas especially Sindh and Baluchistan parts are hereby recommended to gather unique landraces and accessions before the genetic resources might be depleted through various environmental stresses.
COVID-19 Illness: Mother–Baby Separation, Viruses, and Breastfeeding
Authors: Duran Dena , Johnston Jarold T.
Published: December 2020

Objectives

Some hospitals have instituted separation of mothers and their newborn(s) when SARS-CoV-2 is suspected or confirmed in the mother. Limited data are available for SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission, including studies on breast milk. This article looks at SARS CoV-2 case studies and data to date as well as prior pertinent research.

Methods

Informal searches of PUBMED, CINAHL and Ovid Emcare were used to identify early reports of vertical transmissions of the novel Coronavirus, case reports, and population based reports of early evolving protocols and their outcomes. As this is a novel virus the authors used previously identified anti-infectivity and antiviral mechanisms of human milk on other similar viruses to guide analysis. Further this article reviewed the well established literature regarding the risks of undue infant separation which negatively affect nearly every aspect of infant and maternal health.

Results

Informal searches conducted in the spring and early summer of 2020 identified 14 early reports attempting to analyze the initial and evolving global response to SARS-CoV-2 and the effects of the virus on the maternal-infant dyad.

Conclusion

The feasibility of single-family rooms and support for breastfeeding as an alternative approach that addresses many of the risks favorably and reduces economic cost, both in lifetime disease burden and direct care are discussed. Initial reports seem to indicate that immediate separation of the mother from her newborn is likely to increase the risk to both mother and infant.

Authors: Li Yiting , Zuiker Virginia S. , Mendenhall Tai J. , Montalto Catherine P.
Published: December 2020

Paying for college expenses can be stressful for anyone, regardless of citizenship status. Asian American students and their parents may be negotiating with each other who will shoulder these expenses, while international Asian students often enter this country with their parents' financial support already established. This is the first study to specifically examine a large sample of Asian college students (n = 671) and explore how parents influence Asian students' financial attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors through a family financial socialization theoretical lens. Results show that financial socialization is positively associated with financial behaviors for all Asian college students. Findings are informative for college counselors, financial advisors, educators, and clinicians who work with Asian students and their parents.
Musical Images from Sufferers: â€œEntangledâ€ â€“ Genesis
Authors: Daniele Franca
Published: December 2020

The present paper carries out a textual, discourse and semantic analysis of the song Entangled, a masterpiece by the English band Genesis. The song describes a patient living in a dream-like state, having many similarities and parallels with the state of being affected by Covid-19 in the final stages of the disease. The most overt message deriving from analyzing the words and the discourse in Entangled is the prevailing-type pattern that evidences the strong imbalance existing in a relationship between a doctor and a patient. The inaffable music and voices join in a coral-like song that seems to have links with serenades, charms, prayers, and with unknown dimensions. The enchanting images produced by Entangled evoke a calm, dream-like state where the listener is carried inside the soft ripples of the rhymes and verses that combine and overlap perfectly with the flowing rhythm and the purely magical music.
Anglicisms and Italian Equivalents in the Era of Covid-19: A Corpus-Based Study of Lockdown
Authors: Cappuzzo Barbara
Published: December 2020

The whole globe has been going through an unprecedented historical moment since World War II. COVID-19, the disease against which we have all been trying to defend ourselves for several months now, has spread worldwide with a significant impact in all spheres of life. With the pandemic outburst and English the language of globalization, several Anglicisms have entered the lexicon of other languages, especially Italian, traditionally open to foreign words. COVID-19-related Anglicisms are used in Italian to such an extent that we can reasonably refer to them as the â€˜language of pandemicâ€™. The English words and expressions employed in Italian to refer to the current disease are numerous. Some of them already existed, while others have been introduced during the current pandemic. An example of the latter is lockdown, which was the object of attention in this study. A 69,726-word corpus of 63 articles taken from la Repubblica.it throughout March 2020 was analyzed in order to scrutinize how the term was employed in one of the most authoritative and influential Italian dailies. The investigation of lockdown was carried out parallel to that of its Italian corresponding words. The results suggested that the term was often used together with its Italian equivalents mainly to fulfil the pragmatic/stylistic need to avoid lexical repetition. Moreover, lockdown appeared as an all-inclusive term encompassing various connotations of meaning which did not always seem to be fully and correctly conveyed by its Italian counterparts.
QIBLA JURISPRUDENCE: Deviation of Mosques’ Qibla in Pamekasan Madura
Authors: Jalil Abdul , Hosen Hosen
Published: December 2020

The qibla direction of some mosques in Pamekasan encountered deviation after the recalibration was carried out, but only a few mosques changed their qibla direction according to the calculation of hisâb. This study discusses three issues, namely: Society’s understanding of the direction of the mosque’s qibla, their responses to deviations from the direction of the mosque’s qibla, and the implications of the deviation of the mosque’s qibla on the validity of prayer in the perspective of falak science and Islamic law. With a qualitative-descriptive approach based on semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation, this study reveals that some congregants still regard the west as the direction of the qibla and do not understand the provisions of having to face the qibla during prayers; there are three axes of the congregation’s response to the deviation of the direction of the mosque’s qibla, namely serious, ordinary, and indifferent; and mosques that experience deviation according to astronomy are not following the provisions facing the qibla, so they must be repaired so that the prayers are perfect according to the provisions of Islamic law.[Sebagian arah kiblat masjid di Pamekasan mengalami deviasi setelah rekalibrasi dilakukan, tetapi hanya sedikit masjid yang mengubah arah kiblatnya sesuai perhitungan ilmu hisab. Artikel ini mendiskusikan tiga persoalan, yaitu: pemahaman masyarakat tentang arah kiblat masjid, respons masyarakat terhadap penyimpangan arah kiblat masjidnya, dan implikasi deviasi arah kiblat masjid terhadap keabsahan salat dalam perspektif ilmu falak dan hukum Islam. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif berdasarkan wawancara semi terstruktur dan observasi nonpartisipan, artikel ini mengungkap bahwa sebagian jemaah masih menganggap arah barat sebagai arah kiblat dan tidak memahami ketentuan harus hadap kiblat saat salat; ada tiga poros respons jemaah terhadap deviasi arah kiblat masjidnya, yaitu serius, biasa, dan cuek; dan masjid yang mengalami deviasi menurut ilmu falak tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan menghadap kiblat, sehingga harus diperbaiki agar salat menjadi sempurna sesuai ketentuan hukum Islam]
MODERATE ISLAM IN LOCAL CULTURE ACCULTURATION: The Strategy of Walisongo’s Islamization
Authors: Muna Moh. Nailul
Published: December 2020

The issue of radicalism or extremism is often addressed to Muslims today. This article aims to solve the polemic of extremism because the reading of the phenomenon of extremism is done partially and refers only to conflict areas. Therefore, a series of puzzles need to be completed through religious practices in other regions. In Indonesia, many practices manifest moderate Islamic teachings. This article focuses on the process of Islamization carried out by Walisongo, especially Sunan Kudus, as an initial search for the embryo of Islamic moderation in Indonesia. Based on Emile Durkheim’s theory of social change, this article descriptively-analytically shows that the moderation of Islam in the archipelago has led to the Islamization carried out by Walisongo which was carried out in a peaceful, innovative, and inclusive way, so that the teachings of Walisongo continue to this day.[Isu radikalisme atau ekstrimisme sering dialamatkan kepada umat Islam dewasa ini Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memecahkan polemik ekstrimisme, karena pembacaan atas fenomena ekstrimisme bersifat parsial dan hanya mengarah kepada kawasan-kawasan konflik. Oleh karena itu, rangkaian puzzle perlu dilengkapi melalui praktik keagamaan di kawasan lain. Di Indonesia, banyak praktik yang memanifestasikan ajaran Islam moderat. Artikel ini fokus pada proses Islamisasi yang dilakukan Walisongo, terutama Sunan Kudus, sebagai upaya penelusuran awal terkait embrio dari moderasi Islam di Indonesia. Berdasarkan teori perubahan sosial Emile Durkheim, artikel ini secara deskriptif-analitis menunjukkan bahwa moderasi Islam di Nusantara bermuara kepada islamisasi yang dilakukan oleh Walisongo yang dilakukan dengan cara damai, inovatif, dan inklusif, sehingga ajaran Walisongo tetap lestari hingga saat ini]

Authors: ÇATAK Tuba , ERHAN Omer , ÖZER Ayşe Belin , KILINÇ Mikail
Published: December 2020

Objective: Global improvement in the quality of life has led to a rapid expansion of the elderly population. A majority of patients undergoing hip or lower extremity surgery belong to the geriatric age group; in these patients, regional anaesthesia is generally preferred over general anaesthesia due to the common occurrence of concomitant conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of the anaesthetic technique on mortality, morbidity, and clinical outcomes in geriatric patients undergoing hip surgery.
Methods: This study evaluated 700 patients over 65 years of age with an ASA status of III/IV who had undergone hip surgery between 2009 and 2013 at Firat University Hospital. Based on a review of patient records, 114 patients were eligible for the study. The two groups were comparable in terms of age, ASA status,gender, anaesthesia duration, haemoglobin levels at baseline and discharge, complication rates, need for post-operative intensive care unit admission, concomitant conditions, need for volume replacement, mortality rate and need for blood and blood products.
Results: Patients were divided into the general (n = 76) and regional (n = 38) anaesthesia groups. Pre- and post-operative haemoglobin levels were not significantly different between the two groups(p>0.068) Surgery duration (113.68 ± 34.73 min) and hospital stay length (11.42 ± 4.03 days) were statistically shorter in the regional anaesthesia group.
Conclusion: In geriatric patients undergoing hip surgery, regional anaesthesia is superior to general anaesthesia, as it results in reduced surgery duration, hospital stay length and need for blood transfusions.

Authors: Muhammad Muhammad
Published: December 2020

The implementation of the 2013 curriculum for strengthening character building has many obstacles. Teacher’s understanding, limited resources, and mass media negative impact are identified as the hindrance of the implementation. The article aims to explore character building based on Adab Akhlak learning. For this purpose, the research uses the qualitative approach based on a literature review. The research data was obtained from research result which has been published (secondary research). The data findings were compiled, decoded, categorized, illustrated in a matrix, and then drawn conclusion and verification. The research result shows that it did not achieve character-building maximally because, first, it was lack of adequate follow-up after assessment/evaluation result; second, the cognitive aspect was always dominant in determining student’s achievement and learning completion. The values of attitude and behavior were not regarded as an authoritative reference to determine a student’s learning completion. The orientation of attitude and behavior assessment become student’s report “ornament”, however, it had not been accompanied by adequate followed-up, for instance, in the form of reward which can encourage on the developing and maintaining character values owned, and punishment which provide a deterrent effect and eliminate the possibility to repeat the violation. The success of character building in MA Plus Abu Hurairah Mataram lies on the courage to determine punishment policy for the offenders and consistent with the rules. The attitude and behavior become the standard measurement in assessing learning completion, it had 50% percentage in determining graduation.

ARAKAN ROHİNGYA MÜSLÜMANLARININ TARİHİNE GENEL BAKIŞ: GEÇMİŞLERİNİ YOK SAYMA ÇABALARI VE TARİHSEL DIŞLANMALARI
Authors: GÜNARSLAN Hüseyin
Published: December 2020

Arakan Güneydoğu Asya ülkelerinden birisi olan Myanmar´ın bir eyaletidir. Eski adı Burma olan Myanmar Budist çoğunluğun yönetimi elinde tuttuğu ve Müslüman azınlıklara haklarını vermemesi ile tanınan bir ülkedir. 14 eyalete sahip olan ülkenin Arakan eyaleti en fazla Müslümanın yaşadığı bölgedir. Bu eyalette yaşayan Müslümanlara Rohingya adı verilmektedir. Arakanlı Rohingya Müslümanlarının maruz kaldığı şiddet olayları günümüzde medyanın da etkisi ile çok daha fazla bilinir olmakla birlikte bu insanların geçmişi ile ilgili hala yeterli bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu insanların etnik bir soykırıma maruz kaldıkları genel olarak kabul görmekle birlikte Myanmar Budist hükümetinin uygulamalarına son verdirtecek bir yaptırım yoktur. Özellikle Burma´nın bağımsızlığı sonrası Arakanlı Müslümanlar yüzlerce yıldır yaşadıkları topraklarda istenmeyen insanlar ilan edilip öldürülmektedir. Dünyanın gözü önünde hala devam etmekte olan bu soykırıma Müslüman dünyası da dâhil olmak üzere yeterli düzeyde tepki gösterilmemektedir. Bunun en önemli sebebi ise Türkiye dâhil olmak üzere bu insanlar hakkında çok az bilgiye sahip olunmasıdır. Bundan dolayı çalışmanın amacı, günümüz Arakan Müslümanlarının dünyanın unutulmuş bir bölgesinde en fazla haksızlığa uğrayan insan topluluğu olduğunu ortaya koymakla birlikte onların tarihlerini de aydınlatmaya çalışmaktır. Çalışma sonucu elde edilen veriler bu insanların tarihleri boyunca büyük sıkıntılara maruz kaldığını ve özellikle Myanmar´ın bağımsızlığını kazandığı 1948´den günümüze artan oranda bir soykırıma tâbi olduklarına işaret etmektedir.
CEZAYİR-İ GARP VİLÂYETİ'NİN KURULUŞU MESELESİ VE İLK CEZAYİR BEYLERBEYİLERİ

Published: December 2020

16. yüzyıl başlarında İspanyol işgaline uğrayan Cezâyir toprakları, meşhur Türk denizcileri Barbaros kardeşlerin (Oruç ve Hızır Reis) gayretleriyle işgalden kurtarıldı ve 1516’dan itibaren Türklerin yönetimine geçti. 1519’da Cezâyir Müslümanlarının payitahta mektup yollayarak Osmanlı Devleti’ne bağlanmak istemeleri üzerine Cezâyir hükmen bir Osmanlı toprağı oldu. Ancak burada tam olarak Osmanlı devlet teşkilatının (vilâyet düzeninin) kurulması biraz zaman aldı. Kardeşi Oruç Reis’in 1518’de şehadetinden sonra Cezâyir Sultanı/Hâkimi olan Hızır Reis (Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa), 1534’te Osmanlı donanmasının başına geçirilip Cezâyir Beylerbeyi olmuştur. Ancak o dönemde daha çok Ege/Akdeniz adaları için kullanılan Cezâyir ifadesinin, Kuzey Afrika’daki Cezâyir’i kapsayıp kapsamadığı tartışılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Cezâyir-i Bahr-i Sefid Vilâyeti ile Cezâyir-i Garb Vilâyeti birbirinden tefrik edilmiş ve Cezâyir-i Garb Vilâyeti'nin ne zaman kurulduğu ve ilk beylerbeyilerinin kimler olduğu tespit edilerek buradaki Türk İdaresi yeniden dönemlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada, Cezâyir’e atanan bu ilk beylerbeylerin nasıl bir sürecin ardından Cezâyir’e atandıkları ve atanmalarında ne gibi faktörlerin etkili olduğu sorularına da cevap aranmıştır.

Amaç: Plevral aralıkta serbest hava görülmesi olarak tanımlanan pnömotoraksın sekonder sebepleri arasında en sık görülen patoloji Kronik obstruktif akciğer hastalığı (KOAH)’dır. KOAH’lı hastalarda sınırlı pulmoner rezerv nedeniyle pnömotoraks tedavisinin hızlı ve etkin olması önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, KOAH hastalarında gelişen pnömotoraksta otolog kan ile yapılan plörödezis işleminin sonuçlarını incelemektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde şubat 2017-şubat 2020 yılları arasında KOAH hastalığı olan ve pnömotoraks sebebiyle tüp torakostomi uygulanan ve otolog kan ile plöredezis işlemi yapılan olgular incelendi. Yaş, cinsiyet, sigara öyküsü, plöredezis sonrası semptomlar, nüks oranları, komplikasyon ve hastanede yatış süreleri açısından retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 65,5 (54-76) olan 27 olgunun tamamı sigara içen erkek hastalardan oluşmaktaydı. Olguların hava kaçağı ortalama süresi 9 (5-16) gün, ortalama yatış süresi 12 gün (8-19), 3 aylık takiplerindeki nüks oranı ise %11.1 olarak (3 olgu) bulundu. Olguların hiçbirinde plöredezis sonrası allerjik reaksiyon, enfeksiyon ve ağrı gözlenmedi. 1 olguda (%3,7) işlem sonrası cilt altı amfizemi, 5 olguda (%18,5) dispne gelişti. Olgularda yaş arttıkça işlem sonrası saturasyon düşüklüğünün anlamlı olarak arttığı izlendi. Saturasyon değerinin artmasının dispne şikayetini anlamlı şekilde azalttığı, yüksek saturasyon değerlerinin 3 aylık periyotta nüks oranını anlamlı şekilde azalttığı gözlenmektedir (p

Kaliandra (Calliandra calothyrsus Meissn.) is a potential species as a feedstock for making wood pellets with a heating value of 4,722 cal/g. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity of kaliandra seedlings in the nursery from four populations in West Java, namely Cianjur, Garut, Sukabumi, and Sumedang. Seed collection is carried out from each population, then germinated at the nursery of the Nagrak Research Station, Bogor Regency. Using a Completely Randomized Block Design, with 4 replications from each population, each repetition consisted of 10 seedlings, the results showed that the best height growth (59.75 cm) was produced from Cianjur and the best diameter (4.44 mm) was produced from Sukabumi. Seedling height can be used as a criterion for the selection of parent trees at the nursery level because the high seedling heritability (0.333 and 0.656) is relatively higher than the diameter of the seedlings (0.114 and 0.445), both individuals and families. The genetic correlation between traits shows a high value that is equal to (0.562).
Vitamin D Modulates Intestinal Microbiota in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Published: December 2020

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal0 tract (GIT), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), which differ in the location and lesion extensions. Both diseases are associated with microbiota dysbiosis, with a reduced population of butyrate-producing species, abnormal inflammatory response, and micronutrient deficiency (e. g. vitamin D hypovitaminosis). Vitamin D (VitD) is involved in immune cell differentiation, gut microbiota modulation, gene transcription, and barrier integrity. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulates the biological actions of the active VitD (1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3), and is involved in the genetic, environmental, immune, and microbial aspects of IBD. VitD deficiency is correlated with disease activity and its administration targeting a concentration of 30 ng/mL may have the potential to reduce disease activity. Moreover, VDR regulates functions of T cells and Paneth cells and modulates release of antimicrobial peptides in gut microbiota-host interactions. Meanwhile, beneficial microbial metabolites, e.g. butyrate, upregulate the VDR signaling. In this review, we summarize the clinical progress and mechanism studies on VitD /VDR related to gut microbiota modulation in IBD. We also discuss epigenetics in IBD and the probiotic regulation of VDR. Furthermore, we discuss the existing challenges and future directions. There is a lack of well-designed clinical trials exploring the appropriate dose and the influence of gender, age, ethnicity, genetics, microbiome, and metabolic disorders in IBD subtypes. To move forward, we need well-designed therapeutic studies to examine whether enhanced vitamin D will restore functions of VDR and microbiome in inhibiting chronic inflammation.
Future Considerations for the mRNA–Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Platform

Published: December 2020

Vaccines based on mRNA-containing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) pioneered by Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman at the University of Pennsylvania are a promising new vaccine platform used by two of the leading vaccine candidates against coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19). However, there are many questions regarding their mechanism of action in humans that remain unanswered. Here we consider the immunological features of LNP components and off-target effects of the mRNA, both of which could increase the risk of side effects. We suggest ways to mitigate these potential risks by harnessing dendritic cell (DC) biology.

Drought severity still remains a serious concern across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to the destructive impact on multiple sectors of our society The interannual variability and trends in the changes of self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index based on Penman–Monteith (scPDSIPM) and Thornthwaite (scPDSITH) methods for potential evapotranspiration (PET), precipitation (P) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) anomalies, and sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly were investigated through statistical analysis of modelled and remote sensing data. It is shown that scPDSIPM and scPDSITH differed in the representation of drought characteristics over SSA. The scPDSI and remotely-sensed-based anomalies of P and NDVI showed wetting and drying trends over the period 1980-2012. The trend analysis showed increased drought events in the semi-arid and arid regions of SSA over the same period. A correlation analysis reveals a strong relationship between scPDSI variability and P, and NDVI anomalies for monsoon and pre-monsoon seasons. The correlation analysis of scPDSI variability with SST anomalies indicates significant positive and negative relationships, respectively. This study has demonstrated the applicability of multiple data sources for drought assessment and provides useful information for regional drought predictability and mitigation strategies.

The sudden and abrupt rise of COVID-19 became a challenge for the world economy. In this paper, we investigate the changes of a trend of mutual trade between the EU-15 countries and China during the demanding times of the COVID-19 crisis. We use monthly data for Chinese export to the EU (2018:01 – 2020:05) and import from the EU (2018:01 – 2020:07) relying on the data from open source Trademap. We employ descriptive statistics to analyze the trade. Overall, there is the obvious decline of 13-32 per cent in worldwide trade as predicted by the WTO. This affected China as the main trading partner of electronic devices and medical supplies. The trade between the EU and China has decreased, but the major change in demand brought the alteration in commodities structure and re-orientation of Chinese export production. In the first five months of 2020, we have witnessed strong engagement of the Chinese economy in new highly demanded production - mainly to articles strongly linked with healthcare and medical equipment. Thus, we have observed that the Chinese were very flexible in changing the structure of export which was triggered by COVID-19 crisis. This flexibility is worth further exploration.
Crosstalk between Existential Phenomenological Psychotherapy and Neuroscience in Mood and Anxiety Disorders

Published: December 2020

Psychotherapy is a comprehensive biological treatment modifying complex underlying cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and regulatory responses in the brain, leading patients with mental illness to a new interpretation of the sense of self and others. Psychotherapy is an art of science integrated with psychology and/or philosophy. Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary science of the neuron, the glial cells including oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and astrocytes and the neural circuits to understand learning, memory, behavior, perception, and consciousness. Both psychotherapy and neuroscience deal with the brain; nevertheless, they continue to stay polarized far. Existential phenomenological psychotherapy (EPP) has been in the forefront of meaning-centered counseling for almost a century. The phenomenological approach in psychotherapy originated in the works of Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Binswanger, Medard Boss and Viktor Frankl, and it has been committed to account for the existential possibilities and limitations of one’s life. EPP provides philosophically rich interpretations and empowers counseling techniques to assist mentally suffering individuals by finding meaning and purpose of life. The approach has proven to be effective in treating mood and anxiety disorders. This review article demonstrates the development of EPP, the therapeutic methodology, evidence-based accounts of its curative techniques, current understanding of mood and anxiety disorders in neuroscience, and a possible converging path to translate and integrate meaning-centered psychotherapy and neuroscience, concluding that the existential phenomenological approach in psychotherapy is a viable and potent alternative to the currently prevailing medication-based approaches.
