Towards Next-Generation Small-Size Boron Ion Implanting Apparatus
Authors: Blahins Jānis , Ubelis Arnolds
Published: June 2022

The article provides a brief insight in the history of ion implantation, paying special attention to boron ion implantation in high purity Germanium crystal, exclusively valuable in the production of highly effective sensors of high-energy radiation to detect photons in the range of megaelectron-volt or higher up to hard X-ray range. There is a need for small user-friendly implanters in response to urgent demand to scale up production of short wave sensors, which are in exclusive demand for various nuclear safety systems worldwide. Particularly, research driven “high tech” small and medium enterprises in Latvia are among the three leading worldwide producers of such sensors and systems. These SME provide instrumentation to the International Atomic Energy Agency, to the government of Singapore, to the government of Japan to facilitate dealing with nuclear waste management caused by the Fukushima disaster, and to the European Space Agency. The challenge is to find technology that allows the use of solid state boron as ion sources instead of its chemical compounds, which create too many technological difficulties in the beam forming process and in most cases are poisonous. The review of existing solutions points towards a possible breakthrough where hollow cathode plasma combined with radiofrequency inductive coupled plasma can be used to produce boron ions from elemental boron in sufficient quantity to form a high energy ion beam close to 100 kV. Based on the review, promising solutions are offered, the first results of relevant analytic and pilot experiments are analysed and the future experimental roadmap is discussed.

Q-fever is widespread globally. The goal of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Q-fever infection in Latvia among dairy cattle in 2018–2020, in comparison with that in 2012–2015. The shedding of Coxiella burnetii DNA in milk was assessed. Screening of blood samples of abortion cases for the presence of antibodies against Q-fever and testing of aborted fetuses for C. burnetii DNA were also carried out. Additionally, serum samples from clinically healthy cattle, sheep and goat were included. Overall, 18.34% of milk samples were positive, representing 11.02% of all tested sheds. In total, 20.62% of serum samples from the cattle that suffered abortions were positive or suspicious, representing 12.63% of all sheds. Only 3.33% of serum samples from clinically healthy cattle and 3.42% from sheep and goat were positive. The highest proportion of serologically positive and suspicious samples was observed in cattle that suffered abortion with age from three to nine years, and in the first and third gestation period. One dominant genotype of C. burnetii (MST61) was detected. Ruminant import from abroad was identified as a significant risk factor, as well as the dairy cattle population density.

Inter-primer binding site (iPBS) molecular retrotransposon-based markers are a universal and simple tool to estimate genetic diversity. The goal of this study was to select highly informative iPBS primers to be used in studies of intraspecific genetic diversity of cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus L.), a common plant species of the boreal zone, associated with raised bog habitats and transitional bogs. Initially, 75 iPBS primers were screened and three of the most informative primers (indicated by numbers 2298, 2277, and 2229) were selected based on the highest number of polymorphic bands and PIC (polymorphic information content) values. Electrophoretic analysis revealed 34 bands amplified with primer 2229, 25 bands with primer 2298, and 22 bands with primer 2277. The percentage of polymorphic loci ranged from 90.9 to 97.1% and PIC values ranged from 0.4885 to 0.4965, indicating potential of the selected primers to be applied in population genetic studies of R. chamaemorus.

Published: June 2022

Water is an essential requirement for human life. Maintain water availability, both in terms of quality and quantity, in relation to the surrounding environmental conditions. The socio-cultural conditions of the people of Nusa Penida are very much influenced by the presence of water, even social conflicts occur because of the water crisis. The main problem with drinking water raw sources is the availability of water sources which continues to decline from year to year, while water demand continues to increase due to population growth. Areas that have limited water resources will cause economic resources to be used to meet water needs. As an area that has limited water resources, Nusa Penida has springs that are mostly difficult to reach and access by the community. Two springs with quite large discharge are Penida Spring and Guyangan Spring which have been distributed to the community and to fulfill tourism needs. This study aims to determine the feasibility of Penida and Guyangan Springs as a source of drinking water based on Governor of Bali Regulation Number 16 of 2016 concerning Environmental Quality Standards and Standard Criteria for Environmental Damage and to determine the potential sources of pollutants for these two springs. This study uses a quantitative approach combined with primary data sources from direct observations in the field and uses secondary data sources from literature and previous research. The results showed that the Penida and Guyangan Springs were in good condition and met quality standards. Potential sources of pollutants from Penida Springs come from residential activities and tourism activities, while Guyangan Springs does not have pollutants because they are located in a place that is difficult to reach and is in the bowels of Nusa Penida Island.

Waste in the form of skins and seeds originating from the Dieng carica (Vasconcellea pubescens) processing industry can be an environmental problem if not handled properly. BSF (Hermetia illucens) larvae as a bioconversion agent are expected to be a solution to this problem. The study was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications including control treatment, P1 = 100% husk, P2 = 75% husk + 25% seed, P3 = 50% shell + 50% seed, P4 = 25% skin + 75% seeds, and P5 = 100% seeds. The observation time of the study was carried out for 21 days. The main parameters observed were the value of feed consumption and waste reduction index (WRI), while the supporting parameters were larval biomass, head capsule diameter and survival rate. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA with an error rate of 5%, and if the treatment had a significant, continued with the DMRT test with an error rate of 5%. The results of the study with various types of feed showed that the value of digested feed consumption by BSF larvae ranged from 60.42% - 81.26%. Meanwhile, the value of the waste reduction index (WRI) ranged from 2.82% - 3.73%. Waste reduction value of more than 50% indicates the effectiveness of BSF larvae in degrading organic waste. Thus the use of this type of feed in the form of feed using BSF larvae is effective in reducing the processing waste of Carica Dieng (V. pubescens).

Media Environment in Georgia During the 2020 Elections
Authors: Abazov D. , Skvortsova N.
Published: June 2022

Paper provides the analysis of state-owned and private media companies during parliamentary pre-election race in Georgia in 2020. An attempt to measure the influence of variously interpreted information by different media and how this process, precisely, affects elections was made in this work. It should be noted, the closer the elections are, the more aggressive and radical Georgian media-companies become in their relation to each other and to their audience on a whole.

Political polarisation, as consequence of the fierce clash over political power, results in politization of all the social processes, and strongly affects information environment in Georgia. Despite following the democratic blueprint of state formation and announced course for the democratization of political processes, Georgian reality remains far distant from the set goals. Significant role in destabilization of the situation belongs to mass media, whose political activity prevents us from speaking about healthy political environment, nevertheless about flexible state-model in Georgia.
Pensée et discours de l’Action française de Montréal sur les Juifs (1917-1928) : Une représentation marginale, mais persistante
Authors: Croteau Jean-Philippe
Published: June 2022

L’antisémitisme notamment au sein du discours des revues et des quotidiens nationalistes canadiens-français a longtemps constitué le sujet privilégié des recherches en études juives au Québec. Or, L’Action française de Montréal, très influente surtout pendant l’entre-deux-guerres, n’a pas fait l’objet d’analyse de la part des historiens sur cette question. Au cours de cette recherche, nous avons répertorié les mentions sur les Juifs afin de cerner la place occupée par ces derniers dans la pensée, le discours et la doctrine de L’Action française entre 1917 et 1928. Il ressort de cette étude que les représentations sur les Juifs sont marginales comparées à l’ensemble du contenu de la revue. Elles n’influencent pas son discours de manière significative et participent peu à l’élaboration de sa doctrine. Toutefois, les mentions sur les Juifs notamment sur les questions de l’économie, du cinéma, du respect du dimanche et de l’immigration sont suffisamment récurrentes pour conclure à la persistance de préjugés à l’égard des Juifs tout au long de la période étudiée.Anti-semitism, particularly in the discourse of French-Canadian nationalist magazines and dailies, has long been the favoured subject for research in Jewish studies in Quebec. However, L’Action française in Montreal, very influential especially during the interwar period, has not been analyzed yet by historians on this question. During this research, the sources regarding Jews have been listed in order to identify their place occupied in the thought, the discourse and the doctrine of the Action française between 1917 and 1928. This study demonstrates that the representations on Jews are marginal compared to the overall content of the review. They do not influence its discourse significantly and participate little in the development of its doctrine. However, the references to the Jews, in particular on the questions of the economy, the cinema, respect for Sundays and immigration are sufficiently recurrent to conclude that prejudices against Jews are persistent during throughout the period studied.

Authors: Baker Zachary M.
Published: June 2022

In mid-1930, the Yiddish novelist, playwright, poet, journalist, and world traveller Leib Malach visited Montreal to attend the dedication of a new home for the Jewish Public Library. He then sent the Buenos Aires Yiddish daily Di Prese a three-part travelogue devoted to: Social, cultural, and linguistic conditions in Montreal and the Province of Quebec; the Jewish School Question in Montreal; and Yiddish culture in Montreal. By making implicit comparisons between the two deeply Catholic, but very different societies of Argentina and Quebec, Malach’s travelogue held up a mirror to his intended readership in South America. Quebec’s proximity to the United States and Canada’s status as a British Dominion suggested one point of contrast with Argentina. The long-festering Jewish School Question crystallized the colliding issues of religious confession, public policy, and provincial and internal Jewish community politics in Quebec, which lacked obvious parallels in Argentina. Descriptions of the Yiddish cultural milieu of Montreal offered oblique comparisons with conditions prevailing in the larger Yiddish-speaking community of Buenos Aires. This essay thus attempts to situate Malach’s Montreal travelogue within the frameworks of Canadian and Latin American Jewish Studies, along with transnational Yiddish Studies.En 1930, le romancier, dramaturge, poète, journaliste et globe-trotter yiddish LeibMalach s’est rendu à Montréal pour assister à l’inauguration de la nouvelle bibliothèque publique juive. Il a ensuite envoyé au quotidien yiddish Di Prese de Buenos Aires un récit de voyage en trois parties consacrées aux conditions sociales, culturelles et linguistiques à Montréal et dans la province de Québec, à la question des écoles juives à Montréal, et à la culture yiddish à Montréal. En établissant des comparaisons implicites entre les deux sociétés profondément catholiques, mais très différentes, de l’Argentine et du Québec, le carnet de voyage de Malach tendait un miroir à ses lecteurs d’Amérique du Sud. La proximité du Québec avec les ÉtatsUnis et le statut du Canada en tant que dominion britannique suggèrent un point de contraste avec l’Argentine. La question de l’éducation juive, qui perdure depuis longtemps, cristallise les enjeux de la confession religieuse, de la politique publique et de la politique provinciale et interne de la communauté juive au Québec, qui n’ont pas de parallèles évidents en Argentine. Les descriptions du milieu culturel yiddish de Montréal offraient des comparaisons indirectes avec les conditions prévalant dans la grande communauté yiddishophone de Buenos Aires. Cet essai tente donc de situer le récit de voyage de Malach à Montréal dans le cadre des études juives canadiennes et latino-américaines, ainsi que des études yiddish transnationales.
The problem of media competence in the political culture of young people in Russia
Authors: Medvedeva Mariia Vladimirovna
Published: June 2022

The political culture of the modern youth of Russia in the context of current political events and real foreign policy challenges is one of the most important issues to study. It largely determines how the state will function and what it will be based on, as well as its future prospects. In modern conditions, in the era of post-truth and fake news, it is important to study the media competence of young people as a separate component of political culture and a means of protection from unverified information. The subject of our research is the problem of media competence, and the object is the political culture of youth. The purpose of the study was to describe the problem of media competence in the political culture of Russian youth. For this purpose, a series of expert interviews were conducted with experts in the field of real politics, as well as theorists in the field of education. The result of the study was a description of the modern political culture of youth, as well as the role of media competence in it. Expert assessments have largely helped to describe in more detail the political culture of young people and identify key trends in it, as well as to identify existing political risks for the state. It also revealed the fundamental differences in the formation of the political culture of generation Z from the political culture of other generations.
Un verano difícil en la historia del Partido Nacional uruguayo (1931)
Authors: Cerrano Carolina , Saravia José Antonio
Published: June 2022

En este artículo se investiga un periodo de tiempo acotado temporalmente, el verano de 1931, pero con una gran significación para el Partido Nacional uruguayo, ya que definiría su ruptura y su campo de acción durante las siguientes tres décadas. La activa y mediática participación en el debate nacionalista de su líder más popular, Luis Alberto de Herrera, constituye una de las aristas principales de análisis. Herrera había sido el candidato derrotado en las últimas tres campañas presidenciales (1922, 1926 y 1930) y se constituyó, para parte de la dirigencia, en el símbolo del fracaso partidario. Por el contrario, este se ocupó de mostrar que la adhesión de la mayoría de la masa partidaria lo tenía como «guía». El nacionalismo asistió durante esos meses a una crispada división que sorprendió a propios y adversarios, por lo que en este trabajo se realiza una reconstrucción minuciosa de las discusiones que permite comprender por qué las heridas de esa batalla interna, producto de la inesperada derrota comicial de noviembre de 1930, serían muy difíciles de sanar.

Pentazocine versus tramadol-paracetamol combination as analgesia in labor: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Opadiran Rachael Oluwatunmobi , Isah Dennis Anthony , Offiong Richard , Asudo Felicia Dele
Published: June 2022

Objectives:

Labor should be a satisfactory experience and effective pain management should be employed as recommended by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. In developing countries, pain management in labor is still a big challenge and the search for the ultimate labor analgesia is still ongoing. The objectives of the study were to determine whether the synergistic analgesic effect of the combination of tramadol and paracetamol will produce analgesia comparable to pentazocine with a better side effect profile.

Material and Methods:

This was a randomized controlled, double-blinded trial of tramadol-paracetamol combination versus pentazocine as labor analgesia and was carried out at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Abuja, between June 2018 and March 2019. A total of 218 eligible parturients recruited at term, were counseled on labor analgesia, its benefits, and the options made available to them and educated on the pain scoring system. Parturients were allocated into two groups using computer-generated numbers with the WINPEPI software. Group A was given tramadol-paracetamol combination, while Group B received pentazocine, both at standard doses. Hourly pain scores, APGAR scores, labor duration, patients’ satisfaction, and side effects were collated. The level of significance was set at <0.05.

Results:

Tramadol-paracetamol was administered to 109 (50.9%) while pentazocine was administered to 105 (49.1%) of the study participants. The mean age in the tramadol-paracetamol group was 29.6 ± 4.8 years, and in the pentazocine group, it was 28.8 ± 4.5 years. The difference in pain scores on the visual analog scale was statistically significant at the 3rd and 4th h (P = 0.02 and 0.004), but not significant in the 1st and 2nd h (P = 0.05 and 0.22) in the two groups. Overall, the average pain score in the tramadol-paracetamol group was significantly higher compared to the pentazocine group (5.27 ± 1.86 vs. 4.72 ± 1.54; P = 0.02). The 1st and 5th min APGAR scores (P = 0.44 and 0.67, respectively) of neonates in the tramadol-paracetamol and pentazocine groups were comparable. Nausea and drowsiness occurred more frequently in the pentazocine group at P-values of 0.047 and 0.0015, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the duration of labor between the tramadol-paracetamol and pentazocine groups. not statistically significant, a higher proportion of parturients in the pentazocine group was satisfied compared with the tramadol-paracetamol group (71.4% vs. 63.3%; P = 0.13).

Conclusion:

This study showed that intravenous pentazocine provides better pain relief in labor, but the tramadol-paracetamol combination has fewer side effects.
Physico-chemical Analysis of Textile Dye Contaminated Water of Sanganer Area, Jaipur, Rajasthan
Authors: Kaushik G. , Seth R.
Published: June 2022

Textile industries are growing continuously and contributing substantially to the economic sector. The State of Rajasthan, India holds a pompous place in textile dyeing and printing worldwide. Apart from adding economic value, the dyeing and printing processes menacingly affect the environment through the enormous amount of hazardous industrial effluents generated during the process. These effluents released into the surroundings contaminate the nearby water bodies, air, soil etc. Effluent discharge contains an enormous load of harmful dyes and other chemicals. In the current study, physico-chemical parameters like pH, colour, electric conductance, hardness, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, phosphate, nitrogen, fluoride, COD, BOD, DO and heavy metals were analyzed to identify the pollution level. Most of the collected samples distinctly deviate from the standards given by CPCB and WHO along with substantial variability in fluoride and heavy metals showing that discharge of effluents in the environment deteriorates the quality of water of the region and make it unsuitable for use in other purposes. The study concludes that treatment of effluent should be done at the source before discharge into the surroundings.

Authors: Praveen Kumar G. , Vasumathi K. , Premalatha M.
Published: June 2022

The reduction of greenhouse gases is an important mitigation effort in the midst of rising global temperatures. CO2 capture with absorption is chosen because this technology looks to be ready for retrofitting in the power plant. This absorption column is simulated using FLUENT v 6.3.26. The simulated absorption column is 8m in height and 1m in diameter. Specifying boundary and operating conditions (temperature, pressure, fluid flow models, flow rates and porosity) and iterations are done till all the equations converge. Also, simulations were carried out for various porosities, liquid flow rates and gas flow rates to study the effect of variation in exit CO2 concentration and optimized. The simulated column showed maximum CO2 recovery of about 90% for liquid flow rate 3.2kg/s, gas flow rate 1kg/s and porosity=0.6.
