Authors: Skipin Leonid , Dyukova Natalia , Loginov Yuri
Published: January 2023

It was revealed that nodule bacteria reacted negatively to the alkaline reaction of the nutrient medium. This reaction was created with the participation of normal and bicarbonate of soda. The toxicity of bicarbonate and normal soda was 4-10 times higher than that of neutral salts. The predominance of soda in the composition of neutral salts (sulfate-soda salinization) increases their toxicity in comparison with the neutral type by 2.3-3.5 times. Neutral types of salinization, represented by one or several salts with the participation of sodium and magnesium at low concentrations (0.3-0.8%), had a favorable effect on the vital activity of nodule bacteria in nutrient media. At a salinity level of 2-3%, they are able to completely suppress the growth and development of nodule bacteria. The presence of calcium gypsum in the composition of easily soluble salts increased the resistance of microorganisms to increased salt concentration by 7.5 times in comparison with sulfate-soda salinization.

Authors: Daniel Ronald
Published: January 2023

In today's era technology has begun to enter into various aspects of human life, one of which is in the field of agriculture. The majority of farmers in Indonesia still carry out farming activities without using technology assistance. This of course has its own advantages and disadvantages, and one of the drawbacks is not knowing the cause of why a plant dies but not because of disease or not growing plants optimally and watering plants in large quantities at certain times every day. Based on the problems above, the author tries to design a tool that can monitor the state of the soil and also carry out watering automatically, using the prototyping method. Tools and materials used such as arduino nano as a microcontroller, humidity sensor to read the value of moisture in the soil and soil pH sensor to read the pH value of the soil. The tool will send data to the user's smartphone so that it can be monitored and controlled by the pump remotely. It is hoped that the tool can ease the workload of farmers or can also provide additional information regarding the condition of the soil where the plants grow
The Tree of Jesse and the Passion content in the setting of the Altar of the Holy Cross in the post-Dominican church in Klimontów
Authors: Wojciechowski Leszek
Published: January 2023

The article presents issues concerning the interpretation of the prophecy of Isaiah (11, 1-3) in the works of religious art. One of these works is the altar in the post-Dominican church in Klimontów near Sandomierz. The town belonged to the Ossoliński family from the 15th century. In the first half of the 17th century, a Dominican church and monastery were built in Klimontów. In the altar, made around mid-17th century, there is a carved and gilded wood of Jesse. The image of the Tree of Jesse surrounds the main part of the altar. It presents the content of the passions (from the top: the Veil of St Veronica, Judgment on Jesus, crucifix). The author of the article discusses the meaning of individual parts of the altar. He emphasizes that the content of the Virgin Mary – which appears in other representations of the Tree of Jesse – has not been shown in it. In the altar the following idea was realized: announcement – fulfilment (an event from the New Testament is the fulfilment of what was announced in the Old Testament). In this case, the Tree of Jesse (the genealogy of Christ) foreshadows a Saviour from the lineage of David. He is the king who triumphs from the cross.
The presence of the theme of the Mary in the Holy Cross Sermons
Authors: Wiśniewski Kamil
Published: January 2023

The main topic of this article is the theme of Mary in Kazania Świętokrzyskie – the oldest known monument of the Polish language. Undoubtedly, 13th century theologians attached high importance and a significant role to the Virgin Mary in Christianity. The collection of sermons was an opportunity to present a universe in which the Mother of God is a key figure, which would reflect the intellectual trends of the time. However, for some reason or reasons, it did not happen. In the collection, the narrative about the Mother of God seems to be minimized. In this article an image of Blessed Virgin Mary was depicted in two collections of sermons chronologically close to the Holy Cross. Owing to this comparison, as was mentioned by other clergymen and the author of the Holy Cross Sermons, we can notice that the narrative about the Mother of Jesus in the latter is sparse, limited in content and quantity, and closed within dogmas.
A comprehensive review on preparation of pure immunoglobulins Authors
Authors: Shehzad Muzzamil , Ali Tayyab , Bibi Nusrat , Shafique Shoaib
Published: January 2023

Immunoglobulins are also known as antibodies. Plasma cells are responsible for the production of immunoglobulins. Beta cells are activated against a pathogenic attack and facilitated the formation of different types of immunoglobulins naturally. These immunoglobulins are also artificially synthesized by non-specific laboratorial techniques include fractionation precipitation, electrophoretic methods, gel filtration chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography and by the specific immuno- adsorbent methods. Third generation immunoglobulins are effectively used for therapeutic purpose against viral infections intravenously. Second generation immunoglobulins synthesis involved removal of anti-complement contaminants and IgG aggregates, through enzymatic degradation and chemical modification. The harmful effects of intravenous immunoglobulins can be reduced by using ultraviolet light, P-propiolactone, and pepsin at pH 4. Intravenous immunoglobulin drugs lead to anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects in various infections. The mechanism of action of intravenous immunoglobulins is dependent on the binding between the Fc portion of injected IgG and target cell receptors. Radiolabeling is performed by two methods as in vivo, in which radiolabeled antibodies are incorporated into the body to bind with the antibodies and in vitro method, radioactive material is bound with already formed antibodies. This chapter highlighted the artificial methods adopted for production of radiolabeled immunoglobulins holding significant therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Published: January 2023

Impaired male fertility is a multifactorial pathological condition and genetic contribution is up to 20%. Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone 1 (GNRH1) is associated with maturation of spermatozoa. We aimed to study genetic sequence of GNRH1 gene in azoospermia males. We collected 50 clinically diagnosed infertile males after the informed consent. DNA was extracted and primers were designed to amplify the exonic and exon/intron boundaries of exon 1 and exon 2 region of GNRH1 gene. The amplicons were sequenced and analyzed using bioninformatic tools. We have identified sequence variations at c.1325-131del.A, c.1325+40 T>G, c.1325+34T>G, c.1325+124 Ins. A, c.1325+126 Ins. A, c.1325+181T>G, c.1325+264 Ins.G and c.1325+269 Ins. A positions. Human Splicing Finder predicted that c.1325-131del.A, c.1325+34T>G, c.1325+124 Ins. A, c.1325+264 Ins.G and c.1325+269 Ins. A have impact on the splicing while c.1325+40 T>G, c.1325+126 Ins. A and c.1325+181T>G have relation with the splicing. The c.1325+40 reported in literature as rs2709608 but has no association with the male infertility. The c.1325+181T>G We could not find other variations in the literature therefore suggested to be novel. Our study suggests that intronic region of GNRH1 gene a highly variable in Pakistani infertile male patients and suggests to explore its correlation with the disease on a large scale.

PREVALENCE OF VIRULENCE GENES IN CLINICAL ISOLATES OF PSEUDOMONAS AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY
Authors: Mazhar Sumaira , Saleem Abdul Rehman , Malik Abdul Basit , Yaseen Adnan
Published: January 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negative rod shaped and opportunistic bacterium that causes Opportunistic infections with help of potential virulence factors in immunosuppressed patients. Exotoxin A and exoenzyme S, catalyze the transfer of ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to plasma proteins in eukaryotic host cells. Exotoxin A has major role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that causes toxicity by inhibition of protein synthesis while Exo S is involved in invasion, colonization and dissemination of infections. The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between virulence genes of Pseudomonas (exotoxin A and exoenzyme S) with antibiotic resistance patterns. This research was done in Microbiology Laboratory of Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore, during October to December, 2021. Total 11,187 clinical samples were processed at culture and sensitivity bench in this tenure and 100 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated on basis of morphological characters and standard biochemical procedures in microbiology laboratory. Disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) was used for testing   Antibiotic Susceptibility. The toxA and exoS genes were detected in 100 clinical isolates by PCR technique. The correlation was used for finding the association between detected genes and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In antibiotic susceptibility pattern Gentamicin was most common resistant drug and Polymixin B and Colistin were most effective drugs with 100% sensitivity. Prevalence of toxA+ and exoS+ strains was 95% and 87%, respectively. Correlation was used to find association between genes and drug resistance pattern and there was no significant association P value <0.5. High frequency of toxA+ and exoS+ strains isolated from all type of clinical specimens suggest these genes are also possible cause of resistance of drugs but negative association between them highlights that there are some other factors other than these genes which need to be focused in future studies to come over drug resistivity of Pseudomonas  aeruginosa.

The economic impact can take different forms, direct market costs of missed trade or lower profits resulting from the rejection of contaminated animal products, reduced productivity, animal death, particularly in more sensitive calves, and increased treatment. Nougcake, which is often used as feed for dairy animals, is a significant source of aflatoxin contamination in the peri-urban dairy value chain in Addis Ababa. Aflatoxin AFM is the primary hydroxylated AFB metabolite in milk from cows that were discharged after consuming a meal contaminated with AFB for 12 hours. Prolonged or chronic exposure to aflatoxins has a number of harmful effects on health, including potent carcinogens and may affect all organ systems, especially the liver and kidneys; that cause liver cancer, mutagenic, hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic effects on cattle. According to Brazilian law, the maximum permitted levels for liquid milk, milk powder, and cheese are 0.5mg/kg,5.0mg/kg and 2.5mg/kg, respectively. As a result, there is increased aflatoxin contamination in both humans and animals. In conclusion, as compared to other countries, the effect of aflatoxin contamination and its toxicity was higher in Ethiopian dairy sector. In order to regulate aflatoxin contamination all coordinated efforts from all relevant groups should work together and further intervention should be implemented via policymakers, dairy sectors, Government and non-Governmental organizations.

Kadının Özgürlüğünü Arama Mücadelesi Perspektifinden Jane Campion un Piyano Filmi Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: ALP Hakan , Subaşi Kenan
Published: January 2023

Jane Campion’un Piyano isimli filmi, kadının ataerkil düzene karşı mücadelesi ve kendini bu geleneksel düzen içinde bir özne olarak konumlandırma çabası üzerinden kurgulanmıştır. Filmin ana ekseni, kadının kimliğini bulma mücadelesi, cinsellik ve arzu kavramları üzerinden kendini tanımlama üzerine inşa edilmiştir. Makalemiz kapsamında inceleyeceğimiz Piyano filmi hem dünya sinemasında hem de ülke sinemamızda sıklıkla karşılaşılan çatışmanın ana öznesi olarak iki erkek ve bir kadın ilişkisi konumlandırılmıştır. Jan Chapman üzerinde çok fazla konuşulan bu klişeyi sessizlik kavramı ile sentezleyerek insan hikâyesi üzerinden kadının varoluş mücadelesinin anlatmayı hedeflemiştir. Filmde ana imgelem olarak karşılaşılan piyano imgesi, özel mülkiyetin, özne olamayan ve nesneleştirilen kadın kimliğinin bir yansıması olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. İncelememiz kapsamında, ataerkil düzen içerisinde varoluş mücadelesi veren Ada karakteri feminist kuram ve psikanalist yaklaşım çerçevesinde analiz edilecektir.
Perception and Effect of Undergraduate English Language Students have about Studying Literature
Authors:   Rural Education Support Trust, Ghana, Adama Daniel Tinyogtaa
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the study is to examine the Perception and Effect of Undergraduate English Language Students have about Studying Literature. The findings of this study have some implications for ESL students studying literature in the language classroom. The fact that literature has been used to make English language teaching and learning more interesting, even at the lower levels of learning, goes a long way to support the argument that literature should be encouraged in English language teaching and learning in Ghanaian schools. Poetry, drama, and prose have all been employed in the teaching and learning of various components of the English language. However, the critical function of literature in ESL students' language learning cannot be realized without a shift in the mindset of the stakeholders. According to the findings of this study, many undergraduate students have a negative attitude toward the study of literature. School authorities must also encourage parents to buy enough literary materials for their children and also encourage them to read them. This will help the students to develop good reading habits which will in turn improve their attitude toward the study of literature. Creative programmes could also be developed using current technologies which will make students develop good reading habits.
Dynamics of a fractional-order COVID-19 model under the nonsingular kernel of Caputo-Fabrizio operator
Authors: Ahmad Saeed , Qiu Dong , Rahman Mati ur
Published: January 2023

For the sake of human health, it is crucial to investigate infectious diseases including HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and others. Worldwide, the recently discovered new coronavirus (COVID-19) poses a serious threat. The experimental vaccination and different COVID-19 strains found around the world make the virus' spread unavoidable. In the current research, fractional order is used to study the dynamics of a nonlinear modified COVID-19 SEIR model in the framework of the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator with order b. Fixed point theory has been used to investigate the qualitative analysis of the solution respectively. The well-known Laplace transform method is used to determine the approximate solution of the proposed model. Using the COVID-19 data that is currently available, numerical simulations are run to validate the necessary scheme and examine the dynamic behavior of the various compartments of the model. In order to stop the pandemic from spreading, our findings highlight the significance of taking preventative steps and changing one's lifestyle.
دور أنماط التَّديُّن كعامل وسيط بين التَّواصل بين الجماعات والتَّعصُّب المذهبي في المجتمع العماني
Authors: الكمالي يوسف , أمين عزام , أبو ريا هشام
Published: January 2023

ملخص: تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى الكشف عن العلاقة بين أنماط التَّديُّن بأشكاله: (الظاهري والجوهري والاستقصائي والأصولي)، والتَّواصل بين الجماعات والتَّعصُّب المذهبي، كما تهدف أيضًا إلى التحقق من الدور الوسيط لأنماط التَّديُّن في العلاقة بين التَّواصل والتعصب. وقد ضمّت عينة الدراسة 2498 مواطنًا عُمانيًّا من المذاهب الثلاثة: الإباضيَّة، والسنّة، والشيعة (Mage=31 years، SDage=9.9) وطُبّق عليهم مقياس أنماط التَّديُّن ومقياس التَّواصل بين الجماعات ومقياس التعصب. وأظهرت النتائج أنّ أنماط التَّديُّن الأصولي والتَّديُّن الظاهري والتَّديُّن الجوهري مرتبطة إيجابيًا بالتَّعصُّب المذهبي. وبيّنت أيضًا أنّ التَّديُّن الاستقصائي والتَّواصل بين الجماعات يرتبطان سلبًا بالتَّعصُّب المذهبي، وأنّ التَّديُّن الاستقصائي والتَّديُّن الأصولي يتوسطان العلاقة بين التَّواصل بين المجموعات والتَّعصُّب المذهبي. كما بيّنت النتائج أنّ جزءًا معتبرًا من التَّعصُّب المذهبي يمكن تفسيره من خلال نمط التَّديُّن الظاهري ونمط التَّديُّن الأصولي، وأن التَّواصل بين أفراد الجماعات المذهبية يرتبط بانخفاض التَّعصُّب المذهبي، ويتوسط كلٌّ من التَّديُّن الاستقصائي والتَّديُّن الأصولي هذه العلاقة.

Metaletteratura, autocensura e discorso satirico nella "Lucerna" di Francesco Pona
Authors: Guarracino Giuseppe
Published: January 2023

L’intervento esamina la relazione tra metaletteratura e discorso satirico all’interno della Lucerna di Francesco Pona. Alla luce degli studi di Giorgio Fulco sulla componente prudenziale attiva nell’opera, il saggio riflette sulle ambiguità volutamente ricercate da Pona, con lo scopo di verificare quanto esse siano spie di un discorso allusivo o semplici momenti ludici. In particolare, oggetto di questo lavoro è un’analisi di tre passi programmatici e dallo spiccato valore autocensorio, volta a indagare il loro farsi nella storia redazionale della Lucerna e l’influenza esercitata da due dei principali modelli dell’opera, l’Argenis di John Barclay e la Filena di Nicolò Franco.

The Vanishing Role of IFRS Application on the Performance of Saudi Arabian IPO Companies
Authors: Jamaani Fouad
Published: January 2023

This research investigates the long-term impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) regulation on the performance of Initial Public Offering (IPO) corporations in developing market nations. The research employs 124 IPO companies listed in Saudi Arabia from 2003 to 2019 using Difference-in-Differences (DiD) estimation. It was discovered that enforcing the use of IFRS provides no role on the performance of IPO companies in the long-run. On the secondary market, where there was low information asymmetry, the IFRS did not enhance the aftermarket performance of IPO corporations. The success of the IFRS in creating high-quality financial reporting is dependent on the level of information asymmetry and disappears when analysts and investors have access to an abundance of information about traded enterprises, especially in emerging IPO markets like Saudi Arabia.
