CRITICAL REVIEW ON PANCHAMRITHA – THE MAGICAL COMBINATION WHICH MODIFIES LIFE
Authors: M S Sneha , R Rekha.
Published: January 2022

Panchamritha is a combination of five ingredients which are Goksheera (cow’s milk), Dadhi from Goksheera (curd from cow’s milk), Goghrita (cow’s ghee), Kshoudra (honey) and Sarkara (sugar). Panchamritha improves immunity and physical strength. Panchamritha is considered as Rasayana because all the five ingredients will support each other to reach the target area of the body, proper absorption and assimilation. It helps to support brain functions like intelligence, memory, grasping power and creative abilities. Panchamritha is a rare combina- tion of Vedas which have both religious and health benefits. It is a combination of five nutraceutical products as ingredients that will support each other to reach the target area of the body, proper absorption and assimilation. This traditional combination is having almost all the proteins, vitamins, micro and macro elements and it helps in the development and functioning of the body. This article highlights and correlates the scientific evidence for the nutraceutical value of Panchamritha.

Published: January 2022

Ayurveda science of life with the aim “Swastasya Swasthya Rakshanam and Aturasya Vikara Prashamanam” has a different approach towards Arogya Sthapana. Anupana concept is one such inseparable concept of Ayurveda in the treatment aspect. Along with the main medicated drug the adjuvant with which it is taken, plays an important role in the success of treatment. Anupana (Vehicle) is a substance that is taken, along with or after the intake of Aahara (food) and Aushada (drug). In the context of food, Anupana helps in better digestion, absorption & provides complete nourishment of the body. It brings some changes in the substance along with which it is administered. It also plays a very significant role in treating the diseases & helps the drug to improve efficacy. On review of literature, Anupana has a multidimensional effect; it will act as a nutritive, stimulant, preventive and curative.

MANAGEMENT OF CASE OF PRIMARY HYPOTHYROIDISM ON THE PRINCIPLES OF DHATWAGNIMANDYA - A CASE REPORT
Authors: Sharma Neetu , Rai Shalini , Mandal Sisir Kumar , More Anand
Published: January 2022

Hypothyroidism is a condition caused by thyroid hormone deficiency. It occurs due to hormonal imbalance & decreased metabolism. Clinical manifestations range from no signs or symptoms to life-threatening conditions. In Ayurveda, it corresponds to Dhatvagni Mandya. In this case report the patient presented with puffiness of the face, swelling in both the limbs, muscle (back) pain, loss of appetite, constipation and abnormal weight gain. According to symptomatic presentations, the case was diagnosed as Dhatvagni mandya. Clinical presentation and biochemical parameter i.e., Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) was 12.07uIU/ml which confirmed the case as Hypothyroidism in modern medicine. The multimodal Ayurvedic management approach incorporating ahara, vihara and aushadha was adopted. The case was treated on the line of principles of Agnimandya. Shaman Chikitsa (pacifying therapy) including internal administration of herbo-mineral formulations such as Arogyavardhini vati, Kanchnaar guggul, Punarnava mandur, Avipattikar churna, Swarna vanga along with a dietary regimen was prescribed to the patient. After 3 months’ treatment, significant symptomatic relief along with reduction of serum TSH level (3.05uIU/ml) without any adverse effects was observed in the patients. It can be inferred from the case that Ayurvedic intervention has enough potential to be employed and utilized in such endocrine disorders.
Keywords- Ayurveda, Dhatawagni, Agni, Hypothyroidism, Kanchnar Guggul, Arogyavardhini vati.

In this study, we explored how teachers in elementary schools in urban and rural areas in Indonesia experienced teaching and learning during school closure or learning from home (LFH) period and examined the barriers that hindered the teaching and learning process in both contexts. We collected data through demographic profiles and semi-structured in-depth interviews with 18 teachers. We organized our analysis around their perspectives on teaching and learning during COVID-19 pandemic that they encountered emerged. Overall, an analysis of the text revealed that major themes related to the critical issues of (1) teaching and learning activities during school closure, (2) how teachers assess students’ learning progress, (3) how teachers maintained students’ motivation during learning from home period, (4) the most challenging subject to teach during the learning from home period, (5) support from school or the principals, parents’ ability to assist children learn during the pandemic, and (6) barriers to teaching and learning during the learning from home period. Future research and policy implications are also discussed.
Recuerdos autobiográficos y creencias acerca de la escolarización en adultos víctimas de acoso en su época escolar
Authors: Tamayo-Agudelo William , Agudelo-Cardona Yuly , Castrillón-Suárez Ana
Published: January 2022

El acoso escolar es un tipo de relación caracterizada por la agresión sistemática ejercida por uno o más escolares sobre una o más personas con el objetivo de causar daño y en la que se evidencia una asimetría de poder entre agresores y agredidos. A pesar de que se han identificado múltiples consecuencias en la salud mental de las víctimas, pocos estudios se han preguntado por los recuerdos acerca de la época escolar de los adultos víctimas de acoso en su niñez y adolescencia. El objetivo de la investigación fue describir los recuerdos autobiográficos de adultos que padecieron acoso escolar y las creencias que manifiestan actualmente acerca del proceso de escolarización. Doce personas participaron y sus respuestas fueron analizadas siguiendo la espiral hermenéutica derivada de la aproximación fenomenológica heideggeriana. Los resultados muestran que los recuerdos pueden agruparse en: recuerdos acerca de la situación económica, el cuerpo como destino de la agresión, características de los acosadores y acosados, recuerdos acerca de la institución educativa y las creencias acerca de la escuela en la actualidad.
Conducting a Qualitative Document Analysis
Authors: Morgan Hani
Published: January 2022

Document analysis has been an underused approach to qualitative research. This approach can be valuable for various reasons. When used to analyze pre-existing texts, this method allows researchers to conduct studies they might otherwise not be able to complete. Some researchers may not have the resources or time needed to do field research. Although videoconferencing technology and other types of software can be used to reduce some of the obstacles qualitative researchers sometimes encounter, these tools are associated with various problems. Participants might be unskillful in using technology or may not be able to afford it. Conducting a document analysis can also reduce some of the ethical concerns associated with other qualitative methods. Since document analysis is a valuable research method, one would expect to find a wide variety of literature on this topic. Unfortunately, the literature on documentary research is scant. This paper is designed to close the gap in the literature on conducting a qualitative document analysis by focusing on the advantages and limitations of using documents as a source of data and providing strategies for selecting documents. It also offers reasons for using reflexive thematic analysis and includes a hypothetical example of how a researcher might conduct a document analysis.
NARODNE PREDSTAVE O SUNCU I MESECU U FRAZEMIMA I PAREMIJAMA ITALIJANSKOG I SRPSKOG JEZIKA
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Blatešić Aleksandra
Published: January 2022

In this paper we have analyzed and compared idioms and proverbs of Italian and Serbian, where folk performances and observations about the influence of celestial bodies on human life are present, relying on the theory of Polish ethnolinguistic school. Astronomical culture is one of the oldest, developing from prehistoric man to the modern age in various forms and under different influences, from the imaginary view of celestial bodies to nurturing of cults, and the creation of numerous myths and legends. Due to their physical distance from the man, the Moon and the Sun have often been a subject of fantasy, therefore being animized (receiving the features of a living being), personified (presented as human beings) and sometimes deified (the Sun ascribing divine qualities) in linguistic structures. Idioms and proverbs are an impor- tant linguistic heritage for their speakers, because they are formed based on common values accepted by both language speakers and users showing an anthropocentric and not always realistic view of phenomena in the world. This paper is intended to highlight the existence of a common Indo-European nucleus in the perception of the celestial bodies, as well as to show a number of cultural differences that have left their mark in the observed languages.
UPOTREBA REČNIKÂ U UČENjU ENGLESKOG JEZIKA STRUKE NA TERCIJARNOM NIVOU IZ PERSPEKTIVE STUDENATA
Authors: Glušac Tatjana , Milić Mira
Published: January 2022

The aim of this paper is to present one part of a research study that explored the use of gen- eral-purpose and technical dictionaries in learning English for specific purposes at the tertiary level in Serbia. The research was carried out in 2018 on a sample encompassing 705 students from all the faculties of the University of Novi Sad. It was realized by means of a question- naire composed of 50 questions with a four-point Likert scale and 10 questions with answers on a two-point scale. Also, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 11 students. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 20, and the interview data were analyzed utilizing content analysis. Our quantitative findings reveal that students mostly use digital dictionaries, followed by printed and monolingual ones, and finally dictionaries of technical terms. The same quantitative data indicate that students use dictionaries primarily to find out the mean- ing of a word or its spelling, while they do not understand the abbreviations for grammati- cal information and cannot evaluate the quality of a dictionary. The majority of them do not possess a technical dictionary. The qualitative data confirm that the respondents mostly use digital sources and tools (e.g., Google Translate) since such searches are consistently faster and offer single, ready-made answers. The findings suggest that a systematic training in dictionary use at all educational levels is necessary.

Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Spevak Zoroslav , Tomčić Lana
Published: January 2022

The aim of this paper is to get acquainted with the image of the child and childhood in the work of John Amos Comenius. The authors presented this paper using historical method, with the technique of content analysis. The authors pay attention to the religious-philosoph- ical, soteriological-universal, anthropological, pan-philosophical and pedagogical-didactic assumptions of the Comenius concept of child and childhood, and indicate to the great impor- tance and innovativeness of this concept in relation to the strong stream of Augustinian origin in Western Christianity. Starting from the traditions of the Czech Hussite Protestant Church Unity Fraternally, but also with its own utopian endeavors, Comenius opposes the vision of the child as a creature who is deeply and permanently marked by ancestral sin, as well as being socially useless and invisible. Comenius uses a method of consistent citation of the Bible which is in favor of a high value child as being innocent, unspoiled, to whom Jesus commands the utmost respect and invites adults to be children. Comenius also uses ancient sources (above all M.F. Quinitillian), as well as pedagogical and natural symbolism and provides a picture of a child understood as a germ, plant, bird, cub, which develops in accordance with the natural laws and education to be foreign any violence. With his understanding of the child and child- hood, Comenius became part of that tradition of pedagogical thinkers, who strongly contrib- uted to the establishment of the child’s values and the establishment of childhood as a modern social institution.

Published: January 2022

The mixture of modern and classical, the combination of tradition and the process of industrializa- tion, all left their trace in every segment of the Japanese society. Despite the power of modern technology and its tendency to completely annul certain customs, Japan has remained faithful to its tradition, hence other highly developed countries in the world could learn a lot from Japan in that regard. This paper discusses, among other things, Japan’s response to Western imperialism and points out the fact that his- torical experience proves that Japan would always successfully overcome difficulties and thus become an example to other world countries of how conflicts and challenges of highly advanced, technological societies could be overcome without desecrating the cultural tradition and refuting the collective identity.
PRIPOVEDAČKI SUBJEKT I POETIKA VISOKOG MODERNIZMA…: OD ANDRIĆEVE „PROKLETE AVLIJE“ DO „PROLjEĆA IVANA GALEBA“ VLADANA DESNICE
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology, Filipov Sofija
Published: January 2022

This paper will present the poetic arc that connects Andrić’s The Damned Yard and Vladan Desnica’s The Springtimes of Ivan Galeb, and the border or, better said, overcoming the border of high modernist poetics in these capital pieces of twentieth-century Serbian literature. The question of shaping the narrative figure and its increasing focus on story and telling has a constitutive significance for the prose of the 1950s and 1960s. The roles of narrative instances indicate the necessary connection between Andrić’s last completed novel and a specific type of intimistically-confessional narrator, who is at the same time the main character of Desnica’s novel. The incease of reflexivity and narrative self-awareness leads to poetic knowledge, which indicates that the age of postmodern literature is beginning, and that is the source of new poetic relations and controversies.
HUMORNA METAFORA U „DEKAMERONU“: NOVELA O ALIBEH I RUSTIKU
Authors:   University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, Marković Olivera
Published: January 2022

The subject of this paper is the „putting devil into hell” humorous metaphor from the tenth novel of the third day in Boccacio’s Decameron. The main methodological basis for the analysis is the conceptual integration theory by Mark Turner and Gilles Fauconnier (1994), as well as proposed supplements to the model (Coulson & Oakley 2005; Hedblom, Kutz, Neuhaus 2015). The author points out that to read Boccacio’s novel in a christian-moralistic manner also means to interpret the given metaphor as a double-scope network. The second possibility is to read the story in the spirit of carnivalesque logic, through understanding the metaphor as a single-scope network. In accordance with Mikhail Bakhtin’s hypothesis that the folk culture of the Middle Ages is embedded into the renaissance culture, the author concludes that Boc- cacio’s metaphor must be interpreted as the metaphor of the latter type, since that this type of reading is in accordance with the textual strategies of the piece.
Kleine-levin syndrome (kls)-a review
Authors: M Akasha Sindhu , M Rishitha
Published: January 2022

Kleine-Levin Syndrome is a rare sleep disease characterized by relapsing episodes of hypersomnia interconnected with behavioral and cognitive disorders along with hyperphagia and hypersexuality. This disease occurs more often in young male adolescents. The diagnosis was clinical, primarily based on the nosologic distinction of non-identical forms of recurrent hypersomnia. The brief duration of KLS varies from 7 days to 2 months and the people affected are completely asymptomatic between episodes but during episodes, electroencephalography shows diffuse or local slow activity. Investigations for KLS comprise of medical history, magnetic resonance imaging, polysomnography, 24- hours time profile of growth hormone, melatonin, TSH, and cortisol. The Pathophysiology of this sleeping beauty syndrome is based on Neuropathological examinations, cerebrospinal fluid hypocretin-1 monitoring, clinical patterns, and neuroimaging. Imaging of brain function reveals the hypoactivity in thalamic and hypothalamic regions and imaging along with the cognitive capacity evaluation gives insights into neurobiological mechanisms of KLS. No effective treatment, as well as indefinite pathology, has been identified even though the illness is having clearly defined clinical features but some medications like stimulants and mood stabilizers can be beneficial in the treatment of severe cases.

Indonesia Zero Emissions Application (EMISI): Methodology for Calculating Individual Emissions from Goods Deliveries, and Marine and Aviation Transport
Authors: Noor Nanda , Wihanesta Retno , Rizki Muhamad , Syahputri Jeanly , Gan Philipe
Published: January 2022

Human activities can contribute to the production of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollutants, thus exacerbating the impact of the climate crisis. The Indonesia Zero Emissions Application (EMISI) was developed in 2020 to help the public and organizations easily calculate and track emissions associated with land transportation activity in Indonesia. The WRI Indonesia team had produced a technical note to extend EMISI platform’s calculator to calculate household emissions. Now, the team has extended the platform to calculate the emissions generated from goods deliveries, and marine, and aviation transportation. More than 50 percent (2018) of transport emissions came from aviation, marine, and road-freight transport (Ritchie 2020), more attention should be given to this sector, especially in an archipelagic country such as Indonesia, where both aviation and marine-based transportation plays a vital role. Additionally, though the government has set up initiatives to accelerate the electrification of the transport sector, aviation, marine, and road freight are difficult to decarbonize and electrify and therefore other efforts to reduce or mitigate emissions from these sectors are important. This technical note focuses on calculating methane (CH4) and CO2 as GHG emissions, followed by carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), fine particulate matter (PM2.5, meaning particulate matter with diameter less than 2.5 micrometers), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nonmethane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) as air pollutants, considering their substantial implications for climate change and air pollution. Consequently, further adjustments to methodologies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are made by adopting Indonesia-specific emission factors, coefficients, and assumptions from best available government data (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource Indonesia 2017; Ministry of Environment and Forestry Indonesia 2017; 2010), with complementary international sources (ICAO 2016; Olmer et al. 2017; United Nations 2020).
Alongamento pré-fronteira em adjuntos e locuções adverbiais deslocados à esquerda no Português Brasileiro
Authors: Carvalho Tainan , Tenani Luciani
Published: January 2022

O alongamento pré-fronteira é uma importante pista para o mapeamento de fronteiras de frase entoacional (IP) em diferentes línguas. No entanto, poucos estudos tratam dessa pista fonética no Português Brasileiro (PB). Os objetivos deste estudo consistem em analisar a manifestação do fenômeno em adjuntos e locuções adverbiais deslocados à esquerda da oração principal e identificar seu lócus de atuação nas estruturas investigadas. Essas estruturas têm um importante papel semântico e sintático para a organização de sentenças, mas há pouca discussão sobre as características prosódicas delas no PB. Para tanto, realizamos um experimento de produção de fala com informantes da variedade paulista do PB. As falantes realizaram a leitura de estruturas adverbiais na fronteira e fora da fronteira de IP. Os resultados indicam que é robusto o alongamento pré-fronteira em estruturas adverbiais em fronteira de IP. Duas das cinco unidades controladas indicam ser o lócus preferencial de incidência do alongamento: a última sílaba e o último segmento da palavra em fronteira de IP. De acordo com a análise estatística, a sílaba átona adjacente à fronteira de IP é o lócus preferencial do alongamento pré-fronteira em estruturas adverbiais deslocadas à esquerda.

Authors: Ha Nguyen Cong , Long Tran Dac , Hung Nguyen Quoc
Published: January 2022

Background: Ventricular septal defect ( VSD ) is the most frequently occurring congenital cardiac disease, accounts nearly 15-30% of all cases. Surgery is still the corrective therapy with high success and low complication but having some problems with: cardiopulmonary bypass, anesthesia, ICU, sternalitis, chest scar, AV block...

Recently many progress in cardiac intervention applied to treat congenital heart disease especially percutaneous VSD closure. Currently patients with VSD have other choice to cure safely, effectively and less complication.

Objectives: To evaluate 12 months rusults from transpercutaneous closure of perimembranous VSD by modified double – disk symmatric devices ( symmatric occluder).

Methods: This is the descriptive clinical trial and follow-up.

Result: 41 patients selected by echocardiography, 37 patients were closed successfully (90,2% success rate). No significant complication (AVB…) and  1 patient nonsignificant shunt is 2.7% after 12 month follow-up.

Conclusions: Transpercutaneous closure of perimembranous VSD by symmatric occluder is effective and safe and more, longer follow-up.

Published: January 2022

Salmonellosis is caused by a thousand serotypes of Salmonella enterica. The sour taste inherent to Nham leads people believe that this fermented ground pork dish is safe from pathogenic microorganisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, serotype, drug susceptibility, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes of Salmonella spp. in homemade recipes of Nham. There were 52 samples from different Nham makers in 3 northeastern provinces of Thailand collected between August and November 2019. Further, 30 Salmonella isolates (57.7 %) and 14 different serovars were identified: S. Rissen (23.3 %) was the most prevalent, followed by S. Typhimurium (16.7 %), S. Give and S. Virchow (10 % each), and S. Agona and S. Kouka (6.7 % each). All isolates carried AMR genes but 7 (23.3 %) were antibiotic susceptible and 23 (76.7 %) borne a resistance phenotype. The Salmonella isolates were resistant to tetracycline (63 %), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (36.7 %), streptomycin (33.3 %), nalidixic acid (30 %), cefotaxime (16.7 %), and enrofloxacin (3.3 %). Among the 23 AMR genes in our analysis, there were gyrB (100 %), tetA (93.3 %), aadA (93.3 %), sul1, sul2, sul3 (23.3 - 33.3 %), dfrA12 (16.7 %), qnrS, (6.7 %), and mcr6 (6.7 %). Two strains had the mcr6 gene but were susceptible to colistin. Our findings suggest that naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria in the Nham products are insufficient to inhibit Salmonella contamination of this pork-based food.

HIGHLIGHTS

Highly presence of Salmonella in fermented ground pork (Nham)

All identified Salmonella isolates in the Nham have AMR genes

A few Salmonella isolates carry AMR genes but are antibiotic susceptible

Two Salmonella isolates contain the mcr6 gene but are susceptible to colistin
Gold Coated VO2 Nanogratings Based Plasmonic Switches
Authors: Bhardwaj Priyanka , Roy Manidipa , Singh Sanjay Kumar
Published: January 2022

This paper presents 2 dimensional (2D) and 1 dimensional (1D) gold (Au) coated VO2 (Vanadium Dioxide) nanogratings based tunable plasmonic switch. VO2 is a phase changing material and hence exhibits phase transition from semiconductor to metallic phase approximately at 67 ºC or 340 K (critical temperature) which can be achieved by exposure to IR radiation, application of voltage, heating, etc. and there is a huge contrast between optical properties of its metallic and insulating phases and hence that can be utilized to implement VO2 based optical switches. These VO2 based gratings couple the incident optical radiation to plasmonic waveguide modes which in turn leads to high electromagnetic field enhancement in the gaps between the nanogratings. The proposed Au coated VO2 nanogratings can be fabricated by using current state of art fabrication techniques and provides switchability of the order of femtoseconds. Hence the optical switching explained in our paper can be used fast switching applications. For an optimum switch our aim is to maximize its differential reflectance spectra between the 2 states of VO2, i.e., metallic and semiconductor phases. Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) reveals that wavelengths for maximum differential reflectance can be optimized over a large spectral regime by varying various parameters of nanogratings for example groove height (h), width (w), gap (g) between the gratings, and thickness (t) of Au coating over VO2 by simulation using RCWA for maximum differential reflectance between VO2 metal and semiconductor phase, i.e., the switching wavelengths can be tuned by varying grating parameters and thus we can have optimum optical switch.

E' evidente che buoni risultati nel campo della sostenibilità ambientale si possono ottenere da politiche di efficienza energetica per gli edifici - per lo più realizzati o in itinere - costruiti per oltre il 50% prima della disattesa legge 373/76 che prevedeva, nel periodo del petrolio europeo crisi, vincoli per la progettazione, installazione, esercizio e manutenzione degli impianti termici e requisiti per l'isolamento termico degli edifici per il contenimento dei consumi.Meno chiara è invece la parte di fabbricato oggetto di conservazione (ai sensi del D.Lgs. 42/2004 o previgenti normative in materia) o di immobili vincolati ope legis (art. 12 D.Lgs. 42/2004, asset appartenenti allo Stato, alle regioni, agli enti pubblici territoriali, nonché ad ogni altro ente ed istituto pubblico e soggetti giuridici privati senza scopo di lucro e che siano opera di autore non più in vita e la cui esecuzione risalga a più di settant'anni ), per i quali non sarebbe possibile applicare le limitazioni dei decreti 192/2005 e 311/2006, che esonerano gli edifici "il cui rispetto dei requisiti comporterebbe un'alterazione inaccettabile della loro natura o aspetto, con particolare riferimento ai o caratteristiche artistiche"degli obblighi di efficienza energetica.In questo lavoro si vogliono giustificare e illustrare alcune scelte fatte da istituti di ricerca internazionali in merito alla difficoltà di conciliare le nuove richieste di sostenibilità legate alla necessità di ridurre i consumi (soprattutto da combustibili fossili) con quelle del valore storico degli edifici oggetto di intervento , presentando criteri di valutazione che possano fornire un metodo oggettivo per quantificare la compatibilità tra nuovo ed esistente, criteri che – per avere capacità predittiva e quindi poter guidare le scelte ex ante e non misurarle ex post – utilizzino strumenti di progettazione digitale (BIM , GIS, ecc.).

Sour Environmental Severity for Hydrogen-Induced Cracking Susceptibility
Authors: Fujishiro Taishi , Hara Takuya , Yasuda Kyono , Mizuno Daisuke , Ishikawa Nobuyuki , Tada Eiji , Kimura Mitsuo
Published: January 2022

The severity of sour environments has been determined in accordance with the European Federation of Corrosion 16 and NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-2:2015 standards for carbon and low-alloy steels, based on the experimental results of sulfide stress cracking (SSC). However, the severity map obtained from SSC test results cannot be applicable to the hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) susceptibility. In this study, the hydrogen permeability and crack area ratio of HIC under various pH and H2S partial pressures (pH2S) were measured to establish the link between the sour environmental severity and HIC susceptibility using grades X65 to X80 steels for linepipes. In addition, the hydrogen concentration at the location of the HIC was calculated by the finite element analysis. The results showed that the sour environmental severity map obtained from hydrogen permeation tests changes with time because the hydrogen permeability reached maximum values in the early stage and steady-state values in the later stage. Then, the HIC susceptibility did not correspond to the maximum permeability, but to the steady-state hydrogen permeability. In addition, the hydrogen content at the location of the HIC did not correspond to the maximum hydrogen permeability but corresponded to the steady-state hydrogen permeability, because HIC occurred in the center segregation part and the hydrogen atoms required a certain time to diffuse from the metal surface to the mid-thickness. These results suggest that the HIC susceptibility is dominated by the severity map obtained from the steady-state hydrogen permeability.
Ongoing Genocides and the Need for Healing: The Cases of Native and African Americans
Authors: Bowser Benjamin P. , Word Carl , Shaw Kate
Published: January 2022

The elimination of Native peoples and the enslavement of Africans in the U.S. more than qualify as acts of historical state sponsored genocide. A feature of both genocides is that they ended as institutional practices but have continued culturally and psychologically. The primary contemporary legacy of these genocides is racism which reinforces historical trauma and grief. Suggestions are made for how healing for Native and African Americans can begin despite ongoing racism. This includes psychological counseling for White Americans with beliefs in White supremacy. Suggestions are also made for how reconciliation can begin at the county-level between descendants of slave owners and enslaved Africans as well as between descendants of settlers and Native Americans.
Collective Healing: Towards a Conceptual Framework
Authors: Thomson Garrett
Published: January 2022

To understand what kind of collective healing practices might be most effective following mass atrocity, we need to comprehend better what counts as collective healing, and in what ways group healing processes differ from individual ones. We need clear and well-argued answers to these conceptual questions as a basis for deriving the criteria by which we might evaluate various practices in different contexts. Because means are valuable only in relation to ends, judging their effectiveness requires a definition of the ends in question and what is good about them. So, what counts as a good collective healing process? This conceptual paper proposes that the concept of healing requires that of being wounded, which in turn requires the idea that some agent performed dehumanizing actions. It identifies dehumanization as a serious form of harm, and characterizes the nature of healing processes based on this analysis. It then describes the group nature of mass atrocities. These four points enable us to separate different kinds of healing processes that are normally conflated and begin to provide a framework for evaluating diverse collective healing processes.
Book Review: Scorched Earth: Environmental Warfare as a Crime Against Humanity and Nature
Authors: Ritzer Jeremy
Published: January 2022

The subtitle of Emmanuel Kreike’s Scorched Earth foreshadows the goal of this impressive and comprehensive contribution to the field. His goal is to chip away at the Nature-Culture dichotomy that he argues drives, and limits, much of the analysis that is produced of historical, and modern, warfare. Kreike uses the concept of environcide, which he defines as “intentionally or unintentionally damaging, destroying, or rendering inaccessible environmental infrastructure”, and argues that the traditional assumptions about nature and culture in the study of warfare obscure the importance of the natural world in determining who lives and who dies. For the field of genocide studies, Kreike’s work promotes the analysis of mass violence and potentially genocidal conflicts by looking not simply at actions taken by perpetrators directly against victims, but also at a litany of actions that perpetrators might take that could reasonably result in mass death, joining those in the field who promote a shift in the definition of genocide that includes actions that do not simply meet the definition of dolus specialis to also those that demonstrate dolus eventualis. While confiscating food and burning fields may not fit our current understanding of genocidal acts, they can certainly have the same eventual outcome as the use of machine guns and poison gas. And, recent scholars of risk factors do note the importance of “crises, resource scarcity, population pressure, natural disasters” as increasing the likelihood of genocide.

The purpose of current study is to examine perception of mobile banking customers about digital and non-digital factors in Pakistan. The population of current study consists of current and future users of mobile baking in Pakistan. In this study, mobile banking usage is considered as dependent variable and seven variables (5-digital & 2-non-digital) have been selected as independent variables. The SPSS version 16 was used to analyse and report the data collected through an administrative questionnaire. The results of current study indicated that non-digital factors (Need of service and service quality) has insignificant relationship with perception of the mobile banking customers. Also, results indicated a significant relationship between digital factors (Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, relative advantage, trust and security) with perception of mobile banking customers. As a practical implication of the study, current study facilitate banking sector to facilitate their customers and retain their customer base. Banks used these results to identify the social norms of their banking customers and link them with mobile banking technology to facilitate them.

Published: January 2022

Climate change has brought some challenges for the governments in the world. Different governments in the world have adopted different policies to face the challenges of climate change. Pakistan is one of most affected
nations by climate change and it has launched a complete program in the clean and green Pakistan movement to counter these challenges. This is a borderless issue and needed collective response along with the specific
one to combat these challenges. It is the matter of fact that Pakistan is a developing nation with limited resources to combat the huge challenges of climate change. Imran Khan as head of his political party PTI introduced programs like the Billion tree tsunami in KPK in 2014 and later on won the general elections of 2018 launched a ten billion tree tsunami campaign and soon after made it part of the Clean Green Pakistan Movement. This study focuses on the climate change effects on Pakistan and examines the Clean Green Pakistan movement to counter the challenges of climate
change in Pakistan.
DIREITO PENAL ECONÔMICO: A NATUREZA (FISCO)TRIBUTÁRIA DO CRIME DE DESCAMINHO E A DESTINAÇÃO LEGAL DOS PRODUTOS APREENDIDOS
Authors: Queiroz Fabri Andréa , Lúcio Batista Cazarotti Mauro , Nogueira de Oliveira Rodrigo
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo é sobre o Direito Penal Econômico e a natureza (fisco)tributária do crime de descaminho e a destinação legal dos produtos apreendidos. O objetivo é entender sobre a natureza tributária, pois existem entendimentos jurisprudenciais que traz o crime de descaminho como de natureza formal, não sendo necessária a indicação do valor do imposto que deixou de ser recolhido para a sua caracterização. Contudo há procedente do Superior Tribunal Federal (STF) que reconheceu a natureza tributária no crime de descaminho como de natureza fiscal. Foi levantado sobre o assunto em destaque por meio de legislações esparsas, tais como decreto lei nº2.848, de 1940, que instituiu o Código Penal, e o artigo 334 que descreve o crime de descaminho, o decreto-lei nº 1.455, de 1976, que apresenta em seu texto legal o assunto sobre a destruição de mercadorias apreendidas pelos órgãos responsáveis, tendo sido essa lei regulamentada pela Lei nº 6.759, de 2009, e a portaria do Ministério da Fazenda nº 282, de 2011, que estabelece os critérios e as condições para destinação de mercadorias abandonadas, entregues à Fazenda Nacional ou objeto de pena de perdimento. Sobre a temática em pauta foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico com as ideologias dos autores; Capez (2012), Neis (2013), De Lima (2015), Moreira (2016), Teixeira & Dorigon (2016), Fragoso (2017), entre outros. Conclui-se que de acordo com Supremo Tribunal Federal o crime de descaminho ocorre com a ação, não necessariamente sendo essencial que o agente seja pego com os bens ou objeto de não pagamento de tributo. Ainda pode-se aferir que, o crime de descaminho não é tratado como um crime fiscal, mas um ilícito tributário aduaneiro, considerado, majoritariamente formal. Por fim, a destinação dos bens apreendidos pode acontecer das seguintes maneiras: leilão, destruição ou por doação ou incorporação dos bens.

Abstract. Sulfuric acid and dimethylamine vapours in the atmosphere can form molecular clusters, which participate in new particle formation
events. In this work, we have produced, measured, and identified clusters of sulfuric acid and dimethylamine using an electrospray ionizer coupled with a planar-differential mobility analyser, connected to an atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ESI–DMA–APi-TOF MS). This set-up is suitable for evaluating the extent of fragmentation of the charged
clusters inside the instrument. We evaluated the fragmentation of 11
negatively charged clusters both experimentally and using a statistical
model based on quantum chemical data. The results allowed us to quantify the
fragmentation of the studied clusters and to reconstruct the mass spectrum by removing the artifacts due to the fragmentation.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Despite the close relationship between planetary science and plasma physics, few advanced numerical tools allow to bridge the two topics. The code Menura proposes a breakthrough towards the self-consistent modelling of these overlapping field, in a novel 2-step approach allowing for the global simulation of the interaction between a fully turbulent solar wind and various bodies of the solar system. This article introduces the new code and its 2-step global algorithm, illustrated by a first example: the interaction between a turbulent solar wind and a comet.
