Authors: Serovic Radmila , Jelic Ivana , Matic Branislava , Savic Aleksandar
Published: February 2023

Utilization possibilities of solidified fractions of industrial hazardous waste obtained by mixing with inert materials in construction were investigated. Waste mineral oils, water-hydrocarbon emulsions mixture, and waste filter cakes from the physico-chemical treatment of wastewater generated by washing of patterned rollers for a printing machine, were used as models of industrial hazardous waste in the solidification process. Investigation comprised preparation of concrete and asphalt mixtures for further testing. The solidified powder was analyzed regarding the granulometric composition, while the obtained concrete samples were further subjected to compressive strength determination, whereas the asphalt mixtures were tested in the context of potential waterproofing materials. According to the obtained leaching test results, all the samples met the required conditions for further application. Compressive strength test results were in the range of 8.7-22.6 MPa. Still, the measured compressive strength values were lower than expected, which is explained using solidified powder fractions of smaller grain size. According to the results, it can be concluded that the investigated mixtures cannot be used for structural building elements, but their usage is recommended for elements such as pavements, roadside, path cubes, concrete haberdashery, etc. Asphalt mixtures showed acceptable properties in terms of mechanical, durability, and waterproofing tests.
Late la Tène fibulae of the Rakitno-type. Evidence of contacts between the western Balkans and the southern part of the Carpathian basin
Authors: Dizdar Marko , Tonc Asja
Published: February 2023

Fibulae with a knob on a backward-bent foot, of which different variants of
the Picugi type are probably best known, evolved in the eastern Adriatic and
its hinterland, and the wider south-eastern Alps during the last two
centuries BC. A similar but distinct type of fibula named the Rakitno type
has been identified based on its morphological characteristics and
distribution. Fibulae of this type have mainly been recorded at sites in
Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also in the Sava valley and eastern Slavonia.
Similarities in the way they are decorated, with a series of knobs on the
backward-bent foot, link fibulae of the Rakitno type with other contemporary
forms recorded in the south-eastern part of the Carpathian Basin (fibulae of
the Jarak type) and the south-eastern Alps (fibulae of the Mihovo type),
indicating that designs were exchanged and then adapted to different
communities in local workshops. On the other hand, finds of fibulae of the
Rakitno type at sites in eastern Slavonia attest to contacts with
communities settled in the western Balkans. Despite the absence of finds
from closed associations, documented comparisons allow for fibulae of the
Rakitno type to be dated to the latter half of the 2nd and the early 1st
centuries BC, with the assumption that this design was typical of female
costume.
Production of ceramic building material in ancient Viminacium
Authors: Jevtovic Ljubomir
Published: February 2023

The technology of brickmaking was introduced to the area of Viminacium by the Romans. The development and growth of the urban settlement in the 1st-4th century necessitated the need for huge quantities of construction materials. Large-scale production of ceramic building materials, which are often abbreviated to CBM, is attested both by the numerous finds of the material itself, as well as traces of the manufacturing process. More than 15 kilns and several structures used in the process were discovered in the vicinity of Viminacium. Still, the subject of Viminacium CBM production has only been modestly studied. Thus, the aim of this paper is to analyse this production, namely the characteristics and organisation of its processes, based on the results of archaeological excavations and previously published research. To achieve this goal, we focused on the layout of the particular manufacturing sites, and the production process organisation, together with the necessary review of the characteristics of the found kilns and other structures used in the production process.

Authors: Ballesteros Navia Yojana Valentina , Cantera Kintz Jaime Ricardo , Peña Salamanca Enrique Javier , Pinilla Agudelo Gabriel
Published: February 2023

This study examined the composition and diversity of the invertebrate communities that inhabit the hyporheic zone (HZ) in the upper and lower basins of the Dagua River, a tropical mountain stream, and their relationship with the macrobenthic fauna. In the HZ, different taxa were collected, many of which have been reported in several regions worldwide, suggesting that the biodiversity of the hyporheic community in Colombian rivers may be high. Although the hyporheic and macrobenthic fauna shared a moderate percentage (> 50 %) of taxa, their ecological structures were different. The analysis of hyporheic filtrate water showed the presence of microplastic (MP) fibers as well as fauna, a condition that, based on the literature review, could represent a risk for the normal functioning of this river ecosystem.

A Review on Nanomaterials for Developing Latent Fingerprint
Authors: Kar Aditya Kumar
Published: February 2023

Forensics has become a more interesting scientific topic to investigate with the advancement in science and technology in which nanomaterials have attracted a lot of attention in the field of nano-forensic research. Fingerprints are important evidence in any crime scene, and nano-based techniques have a lot of potential in fingerprint investigations in the future. Fingerprints have often been and still are considered one of the most valuable types of physical evidence for personal identification. The prints left behind at a crime scene are usually latent (invisible) fingerprints and thus, the distinct ridge details of fingerprints can be obtained by applying different nanoparticles such as silver, zinc oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminium oxide, gold, carbon and silica on a variety of object surfaces, with gold being the most commonly used. The use of nanoparticles can improve the quality and stability of latent fingerprints. As a result, this review study focuses on the use of various nanomaterials in the development and detection of latent fingerprints.

Authors: N Mahalakshmi
Published: February 2023

The personal identification of victim of mass disasters is one of the powers of forensic DNA typing. Genetic genealogy using Y-chromosome STR markers and reverse parentage testing (RPT) aid efforts in familial search investigation. A Dornier aircraft with commandants on board was declared overdue and a month later, skeletal remains found under sea, were subjected to DNA analysis. The case was quite challenging as the skeletal remains exhibited different rates of degradation. The skeletal remains along with reference samples from blood relatives of victims were subjected to different protocols to generate reproducible and typeable, amelogenin, autosomal and Y-STR profiles. Y-chromosome analysis in conjunction with RPT led to establishment of victim identity and rendered fruitful results in familial search investigation.
Practical Considerations in the Design of Antivirals
Authors: Venegas Carlos Navarro
Published: February 2023

There is evidence that viruses have been around for many years. Much is even known about their biology, their structural and physicochemical characteristics, but how to combat them through an appropriate design of antivirals is a pending challenge. Although the comparison with antimicrobials is tedious, it should be mentioned that an antimicrobial is designed or has as its target mechanism of action some bacterial structure that does not exist in viruses. Therefore, the design of an antiviral involves knowing the structure and the viral cycle of a particular virus. Today, this issue takes on an important role that has been relegated to a rearguard position due to the existence of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 viruses and in the case of monkeypox, it should become important even though human smallpox has been eradicated of the planet, according to the WHO, at the beginning of 1980.
Nosocomial Infection in Veterinary Medicine: A Rare Event or Neglected by Veterinarians?
Authors: Sfaciotte Ricardo Antonio Pilegi
Published: February 2023

In humans, nosocomial infections (HI), also known as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), are those acquired by patient during hospital stay. They are unrelated to the reason for which the patient was hospitalized, and may manifest, mostly due to bacteria, during or after hospitalization. The environment has a strong connection with cases of nosocomial infection in human medicine, however, in veterinary medicine, there is still not much information regarding this connection, since there is no effective data on these infections. The main multidrug-resistant microorganisms involved in nosocomial infections in humans are: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Gram-negative bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae family, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanii) that produce extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBL) and those producing carbapenemases. As previously mentioned, bacteria are the main microorganisms involved in cases of nosocomial infections, which may come from the patient himself (endogenous contamination) after an immunological decline or come from the environment or cross-contamination (other animals or via health professionals). Generally, the bacteria involved in nosocomial infections are multi-resistant to antimicrobials, especially those most used in hospitals, which makes treatment and patient improvement even more difficult. Despite research related to antimicrobial resistance, the reality of the clinical routine of animals does not seem to be in line with the world reality. There are few studies in veterinary medicine regarding nosocomial infections (some extremely punctual), In the other hand, these infections are already a reality in veterinary hospitals, mainly of small animals, and, unfortunately, they are most of the time neglected due to the difficulty of their traceability or even by the lack of knowledge.
Renal Cyst and Ureteroliths in the Guinea Pig (Cavia porcellus)- Case Report
Authors: Marcusso Paulo
Published: February 2023

The urolithiasis is characterized by the presence of calculi in some fraction of the urinary tract which frequently affects guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus). Despite the physiopathogenesis of this disease is not completely understood, it is known that a diet rich in calcium can be a predisposing factor. Urolithiasis surgical removal associated with proper food and water management are recommended to animal treatment, however, the surgical technique is complex with some complications due to patient size. The aim of the study was to report the clinical case of urolith in a 5-year-old male guinea pig, uncastrated, weighing 1.142 kg. The animal presented urolith in the left ureter with dilation of the renal pelvis and right renal cyst. Due to animal physiological status without important clinical signs and the risk of compromising the contralateral kidney by a cyst, it was decided to monitor the patient and did not perform the surgical treatment. The patient was clinically monitored and underwent a clinical dietary treatment with complementary imaging tests (ultrasonography and radiography) and laboratory tests of renal function, showing no alterations for 10 months. Clinical monitoring of the animal can be a viable option in face of surgical intervention, especially for patients who have contraindications and without important clinical signs
Glyphosate Alters Redox Balance and Induces Histomorphological Alterations in the Testes of Fruit-Eating Bats (Artibeus lituratus)
Authors: MB Freitas
Published: February 2023

We investigate the effects of Glyphosate (GLY) on the testes of fruit-eating bats (Artibeus lituratus). Our study aimed to evaluate the effects of short-time exposure to GLY herbicide on adult male bats testes. Adult male bats were exposed for three days: Control (fed fresh fruits) and GLY (fed 4 mL / 100 mL GLY-pulverized fruit). Animals fed with contaminated fruits showed a reduction in body mass. Antioxidant enzyme catalase (CAT) activity and carbonylated protein (PCN) levels increased in the teste’s GLY-exposed bats. Histomorphometry revealed an increase in the luminal parameters as well as in the epithelium tubule ratio, which is indicative of a reduction in epithelium area. There was also an increase in the percentage of macrophages and a decrease in the percentage and number of Leydig cells. The results indicate that short term exposure to GLY in frugivorous bats may cause oxidative stress of the tissue that possibly induces testicular morphological changes that may compromise the reproduction and maintenance of the species.

The present study was undertaken during August 2018 to October 2019 to investigate the anthelmtic activity of crude extracts prepared from leaves of Nyctanthes arbortristis in water (AE), ethanol (EE) and hydro-ethanol (HEE) against Ascaridia galli. Adult Ascaridia galli of nearly equal size were divided into groups of six worms and placed in petri-dishes containing 25ml of phosphate buffer saline solution (PBS). They were exposed to the extracts at the rate of 10 mg ml-1 and 50 mg ml-1, respectively and observed for mortality at every 15 m, 30 m, 1 h, 2 h and 4 h of exposure. AE exhibited 100% mortality of the worms after 6 h of exposure irrespective of the concentrations used. In case of EE, 100% mortality was observed after 4 h of exposure at a concentration of 10 mg ml-1 while the exposure time was reduced to 2 h at a concentration of 50 mg -1ml with same efficacy. Similarly, at a concentration of 10 mg ml-1 and 50 mg ml-1, the exposure time was 4 h and 1h, respectively when exposed to HEE. The results suggest that in vitro anthelmintic activity of AE of N. arbortristis against Ascaridia galli was not concentration-dependent, but, time-dependent. On the other hand, anthelmintic activity of EE and HEE was both concentration dependent and time dependent. The hydro-ethanolic extract was found to be comparatively better among all the 3 extracts and was at par with piperazine hydrate when compared.

An inventory was made during the period from March 2014 to March 2016 in a Ramsar wetland, it’s the Salt Lake (Sebkhet) of Bazer, Setif region, Algeria, to study inventories of phytoplanktons and to understand the structure and the distribution of micro-algae groups according to season or function of the biotic and also physicochemical parameters of the environment. Water samples are collected bi-monthly and preserved by a special technique to conserve microelements and to better identify phytoplankton. 33 genera were identified using an optical microscope, these genera belong to 13 orders, 18 families and 6 classes: Zygophylaceae, Chlorophyceae, Diatomophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Dinophyceae, where, the Diatomophyceae class is the most important with 12 species or 37.50%, 5 families or 27.77% and 3 orders or 23.08%.What’s more, 21, 21% of species are considered toxic, represented by 7 genera; in which 3 genera belonging to the Dinophyceae while 4 genera belonging to the Cyanophyceae. In addition, the statistical analyzes of these groups such as AFC, and PCA which were carried out using R software, confirms that the phytoplankton populations and distribution are linked to abiotic conditions, and vary with the seasons and depend both on the physicochemical factors of the environment such as the pH and temperature. These phytoplankton groups are bio-indicators of pollution, of which we noted that despite the importance of this area but it is polluted and required long-term protection.

One of the conditions in marriage is Guardian and Witness, the discussion about Guardians and Witnesses is not something new in the world of family law, it is often analyzed and studied, but in reality there are still many in the midst of society who wrongly interpret the wisdom behind the existence of Guardians and Witnesses, This needs to be reexamined so that the lack of understanding can be minimized, this problem is what the writer wants to contribute to writing about the meaning and wisdom of guardians and witnesses in marriage, so that to explore this the writer uses theological and philosophical approaches. In this paper the authors conclude that the Theological Aspect The existence of a guardian is one of the pillars for the validity of a marriage, in addition to the husband, wife, guardian, two witnesses and consent granted. The appointment of a guardian as one of the pillars of the validity of the marriage does not want to complicate the implementation of the marriage, but is based on a number of valid texts. Furthermore, the philosophical aspect of having a guardian in a marriage is a form of legal agreement from the female guardian that he will build a household with a man who will marry his own guardian, as well as a form of the validity of the relationship between the man and woman so that the child born from the marriage can be recognized by both sides of their respective families. Furthermore, the theological aspect of witnesses in marriage is one of the conditions for the validity of marriage, without witnesses the marriage is rejected. The philosophical aspect of the presence of witnesses is to avoid slander and tuhmah (bad assumptions), such as cohabitation. The presence of witnesses in a marriage is an agent of i'lan (announcement or notification) to the community about the marriage.Keywords: Theological, Philosophical, Guardian, Witness.

Temuan penulis adalah tradisi minuman pelengkap (mitu) yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat adat Batak yang ada di Kelurahan Tanjung Senang Kota Bandar Lampung disebabkan keinginan masyarakat untuk melestarikan kebiasaan orang-orang terdahulu karena tradisi tersebut terdapat nilai yang menguntungkan bagi para pelaku tradisi, seperti menambah semangat, memeriahkan pesta pernikahan yang dilaksanakan dan mempererat kekerabatan. Tradisi minuman pelengkap (mitu) ini dilakukan pada saat berlangsungnya pernikahan yang diawali dengan acara marhata sinamot (membicarakan pemberian mas kawin) dan ulaon unjuk (pesta adat).

Analisis Terhadap Pemikiran Husein Muhammad Tentang Konsep Poligami
Authors: Mubarok Muhammad Fuad , Maimun Maimun , Sukandi Ahmad
Published: February 2023

Abstrak : Poligami adalah persoalan lama yang selalu menarik untuk diperbincangkan di berbagai kalangan. Husein Muhammad dalam bukunya berpendapat bahwa poligami bukan praktik yang dilahirkan oleh Islam. Jauh sebelum Islam datang, tradisi poligami telah menjadi salah satu bentuk praktik peradaban patriarkis. Pernyataan Islam atas poligami dilakukan dalam rangka mengeliminasi praktik ini, selangkah demi selangkah, hingga kelak praktik tersebut tidak ada lagi. Dua cara dilakukan al-Qur’an untuk merespon praktik ini: mengurangi jumlahnya dan memberikan catatan-catatan penting secara kritis transformatif, dan mengarahkannya pada penegakkan keadilan. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji Pemikiran Husein Muhammad tentang konsep poligami dalam buku Poligami: Sebuah Kajian Kritis Kontemporer Seorang Kiai dengan menggunakan bahan penelitian pustaka dan dianalisis menggunakan dekriptif-analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Husein Muhammad memperbolehkan poligami dengan syarat yang ketat yaitu mengenai keadilan. Penafsiran Husein Muhammad terhadap keadilan yang harus ditegakkan adalah keadilan secara material (al-qisṭ) dan mental-psikologis (al-‘adl). Jika dilihat dalam jangka panjang pemikiran ini adalah sebuah upaya yang dilakukan untuk menutup pintu poligami secara perlahan dengan memperketat syarat-syaratnya. Karena puncak atau ujung dari kehendak Allah Swt. adalah monogami dan hal tersebut harus diperjuangkan secara terus menerus.Kata Kunci : Pemikiran, Husein Muhammad, Poligami.

Pasca pemberlakukan Undang-undang Nomor 16 Tahun 2019 (UUP) yang menaikkan usia perkawinan menjadi 19 tahun berdampak meningkatnya permohonan Dispensasi Kawin (DK) di Pengadilan Agama Blambangan Umpu. Semangat undang-undang tersebut untuk mencegah perkawinan pada usia anak seringkali mendapat kendala dengan terjadinya kehamilan di usia anak yang mengharuskan segera dilangsungkannya perkawinan. Hal inilah menunjukan bahwa perkawinan pada usia anak masih banyak dilakukan oleh masyarakat. Permasalahan penelitian ini yaitu DK berdasarkan UUP, syarat permohonan DK, dan interpretasi hakim terhadap kondisi hamil sebagai alasan untuk mengabulkan permohonan DK. Jenis penelitian menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif, dengan tipe penelitian deskriptif. Pendekatan peneletian ini menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data primer yang diperoleh dari lokasi penelitian dan data sekunder yang terdiri dari bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder, dan bahan hukum tersier yang kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian dan pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa DK berdasarkan UUP dapat diajukan ke pengadilan dengan alasan sangat mendesak tidak ada pilihan lain dan sangat terpaksa harus dilangsungkan perkawinan; Pengajuan permohonan DK di Pengadilan Agama Blambangan Umpu harus disertai bukti-bukti pendukung yang cukup seperti surat keterangan kesehatan reproduksi calon pengantin dari tenaga kesehatan; dan Interpretasi hakim terhadap kondisi hamil adalah kondisi darurat yang tidak ada pilihan lain sehingga harus segera melaksanakan perkawinan. Keadaan darurat tersebut menjadi alasan dalam mengabulkan permohan DK dengan pertimbangan kepentingan terbaik bagi anak serta melihat kemaslahatannya
