Authors: Waghe Subhash , Darokar Shrikant , Rajyalakshmi Rao Y. V.
Published: April 2021

The Jyotish science is complimentary to the Ayurvedic medical science. The principles of Jyotish science have been in applied in Ayurvedic science at various places. The month wise description of intrauterine embryonic and foetal development is mentioned in both ancient Ayurvedic and Jyotish science. Modern medical science had made enormous progress in understanding the process of embryogenesis and organogenesis in intrauterine life with modern technical advances. The 5th and 6th month description of foetal development is more precise in Jyotish science than Ayurvedic science. The 1st to 2nd month description of embryonic development is more precise in modern medical science. Hence, there is a need to study the
month wise intrauterine foetal development as per Ayurvedic and Jyotish Science in the light of modern medical embryogenesis. The critical comparison of Ayurvedic and Jyotish science, shows marked similarities between the description of monthly embryonic and foetal development. The extra description mentioned in Jyotish science related monthly foetal development should be incorporated in Ayurvedic science. The description of monthly embryonic and foetal development in Ayurvedic and Jyotish science, can fairly be correlated with modern description of embryogenesis and foetal organogenesis and proper blending of ancient knowledge with modern knowledge could be done.

Published: April 2021

The death due to ischemic heart disease is increasing in Indian population at an alarming rate and accounts for around 15-20% of all deaths in India. Similarly obesity, atherosclerosis and hypertension is also on the alarming rise. The faulty dietary habit with high intake of oily, fatty, carbohydrate rich food is one of the major reason for hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension and coronary artery disease. Ayurveda have well established doctrine of dietary ethics and regimen. Ayurveda had described the various heart pleasant and heart beneficial (Hridya) food items such as vegetables, fruits, flowers and drugs. But, Ayurvedokta â€œHridyaâ€ dravyas are not classified into specific categories in classical texts depending upon their mode of action. Hence, needs to be classified and their mode of action with respect to their beneficial effect on heart also needs to be established. As per Ayurveda, heart is also a seat of mind and acts as independent brain to carry out certain immediate responses. In the result it is found that Ayurvedokta â€œHridyaâ€ dravyas can be broadly classified into Kapha-har Hridya dravyas  and Kapha-kar Hridya dravyas. These Hridya dravyas exert their heart pleasing action by various ways. For e.g. Hridya flower exert action by its pleasing fragrance and mood elevation. Hridya fruits exert their action by taste and vagal stimulation.  It is concluded that Kapha-har Hridya dravyas are having beneficial effect on heart and are useful in controlling obesity, atherosclerosis and hypertension and thereby preventing coronary artery disease. The Kapha-kar Hridya dravyas are rich in carbohydrates and beneficial in improving the nutritional status of the body.

Capítulo 6.4. Estudio de caso sobre desconexión de medios durante 24 horas en jóvenes universitarios españoles
Authors: Cáceres Zapatero María Dolores , Morales Corral Enrique
Published: April 2021

Esta propuesta presenta un estudio de caso llevado a cabo con más de 190 estudiantes universitarios españoles, a partir de una experiencia de desconexión digital de dispositivos electrónicos y medios de comunicación durante 24 horas. El objeto de estudio ha sido conocer los estados de ánimo y los sentimientos experimentados por los sujetos, y cómo la situación de desconexión afectó a sus relaciones y comunicaciones interpersonales. Se trataba de que los estudiantes pudieran conocer, reflexionar y analizar sus propios hábitos comunicativos, para ser conscientes de las oportunidades, retos y riesgos; y también tomar conciencia de su dependencia o no, de estos dispositivos y medios en su vida diaria.La metodología utilizada ha consistido en la elaboración de un diario guiado en el que se pretendía que los estudiantes dieran cuenta de su experiencia personal ante la desconexión. En primer lugar se elaboró una base de datos en Excel que recogía dichas experiencias sistematizadas en variables codificadas. Posteriormente se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo del discurso de los sujetos participantes en el estudio mediante el programa informático Atlas.ti.Los sujetos participantes del estudio pertenecen a titulaciones relacionadas con la comunicación, lo que les hace especialmente interesantes para un estudio de estas características, toda vez que en ellos confluyen un doble aspecto: por una parte ser usuarios intensivos de los nuevos medios y smartphones, y por otra parte, futuros profesionales de la comunicación.El trabajo pretendía fomentar un uso responsable de Internet y de los demás medios. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que la hiperconexión es su forma de estar en el mundo y de relacionarse, que su ausencia provoca malestar y que la comunicación mediada tecnológicamente ha sustituido una parte de la comunicación cara a cara.

Palabras clave: análisis cualitativo del discurso, Atlas.ti, desconexión, comunicación interpersonal, jóvenes, relaciones interpersonales.

HASANAGINICA - USMENA BALADA U DRAMSKOM STVARALAŠTVU NA PRIMJERU DRAMSKIH TEKSTOVA ALIJE ISAKOVIĆA I NIJAZA ALISPAHIĆA
Authors: Memić Amra
Published: April 2021

Historijska podloga za dramske tekstove o Hasanaginici su najčuvenija bošnjačka narodna balada, te mnogobrojne, raširene legende i usmene predaje. Sama balada o nesretnoj Hasanaginici nastala je u Imotskoj krajini, a osnovni tok baladne radnje dešava se u mjestu Vrdol (današnjiem Zagvozdu i Župi) gdje je, po junaštvu čuveni, Hasan-aga Arapović imao velika imanja i kule koje je najvjerovatnije zadobio kroz svoje nadaleko čuveno vojevanje. Vrijeme radnje se može odrediti kao kraj prve polovine XVII vijeka, za vrijeme poznatog Kandijskog rata, kada je došlo do potresanja i pomijeranja granica gigantskoga Osmanskoga carstva. Nesretni splet okolnosti izazvan prvenstveno socijalno-kulturološkim uzrocima će Hasanaginicu gurnuti u emocionalnu provaliju i tragičnu smrt žene-majke. I kada se saberu historijski dokumenti, narodne legende, i podaci koje nam donosi sama balada, teško je znati šta se od ovoga stvarno dogodilo, a šta je ''narod pridodao''. Možda su se događaji odvijali autentično onima u baladi, a možda se u stvarnosti desio samo poneki fragment od svega onog ispjevanog i ispripovijedanog, međutim, ovakva duboka tragedija, o bolnoj smrti nesretne žene-majke zarobljene u nepravednom i krutom ''kastinskom'' sistemu, u kojem je djelovala samo kao svojina i predmet plemićkog ''nama'', bilo muža, bilo brata, svoju idealnu umjetničku preregistraciju pronaći će u bošnjačkoj dramskoj književnosti. Svoju inspiraciju u ovoj svjetski poznatoj baladi pronašla su dva vrhunska bošnjačka dramska pisca, Alija Isaković i Nijaz Alispahić, što je rezultiralo nastankom dva vrlo značajna historijska dramska teksta, koji svojim estetskim vrijednostima zauzimaju same vrhove ove književne vrste, ali ujedno i ukazuju na neprekinuti kontinuitet i brižljivo njegovane tradicionalne vrijednosti bošnjačke književnosti općenito. Oba dramska autora su se vješto poslužila specifičnim konstruktivnim postupkom semantiziranjem dramskog vremena, jer odabir bilo koje historijske epohe ima tačno predodređenu semantičku funkciju pri prezentaciji dramskog teksta. Zahvaljujući dramskoj multimedijalnosti, tako imamo paralelni tok dvije konkretne vremenske veličine i one su uvijek kroz prožimanje unutrašnjeg komunikacijskog sistema sa vanjskim komunikacijskim sistemom u svojevrsnoj simbiozi.
ULOGA I ZNAČAJ PRONATALITETNIH MJERA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI
Authors: Adilović Muharem
Published: April 2021

Depopulacijski trendovi koji su u izrazitoj ekspanziji u većini razvijenih zemalja posljednjih nekoliko dekada uveliko postaju i demografska realnost zemalja u razvoju među kojima je i Bosna i Hercegovina. Izrazito nizak prirodni priraštaj (natalitet), te stopa fertiliteta koja je daleko ispod granice proste reprodukcije stanovništva, u Bosni i Hercegovini doseže rekordno niske vrijednosti u poređenju sa zemljama EU, ne ostavljaju nikoga ravnodušnim te ukazuju na veliki značaj promišljanja adekvatnih pronatalitetnih aktivnosti s ciljem zaustavljanja negativnih trendova i ulaganja napora na saniranju negativnih posljedica takvog stanja. Populacijska politika kao integralni dio sveukupne socijalne politike koju određena država razvija svakako treba da zauzme poziciju koja joj pripada u uslovima posttranzicijskog demografskog perioda. Prema zvaničnim podacima Agencije za statistiku, Bosna i Hercegovina spada u grupu zemalja sa najnižom stopom fertiliteta što dugoročno predstavlja veliki izazov sa čijim posljedicama će se naše društvo suočiti. Obzirom da su negativni populacijski trendovi u Bosni i Hercegovini aktuelni već dvije decenije, posljedice takvog stanja postepeno postaju sve vidljivije u društvu. Promišljanje adekvatnih mjera s ciljem uspostave funkcionalnog modela pronatalitetnog djelovanja u Bosni i Hercegovini predstavlja značajan izazov razvoju socijalne politike što ćemo nastojati prezentirati u ovom radu.
TEOLOGIJA PRIRODE – MOLITVA UMA I MOLITVA SRCA
Authors: Šahinović Rifet
Published: April 2021

Priroda je oduvijek bila predmetom ljudskoga mišljenja, a kroz povijest su se izdiferencirala dva različita gledanja na nju: filozofsko-religijsko i naučno. Spomenute dvije perspektive posve se razlikuju po tumačenju i razumijevanju svijeta i čovjeka: u prvom slučaju priroda je posmatrana kao subjekt koji istovremeno izaziva i strah i divljenje čovjeka, a u drugom slučaju prema prirodi se odnosi kao prema objektu (npr. kod nekih naučnika), što ima za posljedicu izrabljivački odnos čovjeka prema njoj. Ipak, nauka i religija su bitni faktori u povijesti ljudskog mišljenja s tim da često imaju različite ishodišne tačke kada je posrijedi priroda. Ovaj tekst teži da odgovori na pitanje kako naučnu kvantitativnost pomiriti s religijskom kvalitativnošću. Formula molitva uma i molitva srca jedna je od dionica koja predstoji današnjem čovjeku u njegovome naučnom hodu. Ove dvije molitve preduvjet su izvođenja zaključka (a većina naučnika i teologa su saglasna s njim) da su naučne i religiozne „istine“ komplementarne, no metodološki neovisne.
Factors Influencing Moscow University Students’ Level of Trust in the Russian State Mainstream Media News
Authors: Freiberg Phillip Y. , Chotchakornpant Kasemsarn
Published: April 2021

In the modern social sciences, the concept of confidence or trust is considered an essential element of the socio-cultural potential of each given society. Trust in the institutions of the socio-political system is the basis and condition for its effectiveness and is the central element of its [the system] legitimation. Many researchers view trust in the media from the point of view of public confidence in the authorities, which is formed by providing the media with this or that information.Trust is based on a cognitive process that discriminates among persons and institutions that are trustworthy, distrusted, and unknown. Therefore, the concept of trustworthiness is central to understanding and predicting trust levels.In this work, we viewed trust as a manifestation of social capital. At the same time, trust antecedents are trustworthiness and propensity to trust.Proceeding from the resource approach, the credibility (trustworthiness) of the media is a set of ideas and attitudes of the audience: reflecting the public’s expectations that the media will implement some of the practices that allow the audience to increase or maintain their social resources.The goal of this work was to establish a causational relationship between the level of trustworthiness (social capital) of the political power (via its administration and mass media) and the level of trust in its messages by youth as they are transmitted via MSM; while the rise of information through the Internet is rising in Russia and the overall propensity to trust is falling.

Published: April 2021

The pandemic placed extraordinary demands on agricultural producers and created unexpected challenges for southern Missouri farmers, and pushed the University of Missouri Extension (MUE) to implement new and innovative approaches to help farmers persevere through the crisis. In surveys and reports, farmers have indicated several changes caused by the pandemic that impact their businesses, such as increase in local food demand, reduction in on-farm labor, and limitations on hosting on-farm visits with customers. The MUE StrikeForce project team, a U.S. Department of Agriculture strategic initiative, continued to serve farmers by developing alternative educational opportunities that incorporated social distancing and other preventative actions, and were of immediate use to farmers in a crisis. Several of the educational approaches, including video conferencing, online teaching, digital recordings, video repositories, social media communications, pick up and drop off locations, and the use of multiple online viewing platforms such as Zoom recordings have proven to be effective in helping farmers sustain their businesses and have substantially increased access to programming across the state. The convenience of accessing education and learning opportunities online also appealed to more participants. Overall, online educational delivery was positively received by producers, demonstrating the efficacy of digital learning when paired with offline resources and support from the StrikeForce project team. After the pandemic ends, MUE will continue to implement these approaches. Nevertheless, the traditional Extension approach of one-on-one consulting and farm visits cannot be completely replaced by online educational programming. The pandemic has highlighted inequities faced by many rural Missouri farmers that lack dependable internet or cell phone network access, and had no access to StrikeForce programming when face-to-face visits were paused.

Published: April 2021

Este artículo estudia la evolución del asociacionismo empresarial en España. Empleamos el enfoque desarrollado por Franz Traxler para considerar que el mapa de asociaciones empresariales es el resultado de un acomodo gradual de ciertos mecanismos de compensación para superar tensiones organizativas y retos de representación. Se discuten una serie de indicadores con los que analizar el carácter adaptativo del asociacionismo empresarial. A modo de conclusión, el análisis indica que los cambios internos de la CEOE son el resultado de una prolongada erosión de un modelo asociativo estructurado jerárquicamente en torno a una confederación corporatista y monopolística, que la impulsan a ser más transparente

Published: April 2021

Los think tanks españoles han desempeñado un papel relevante respecto al diseño de los discursos que los medios de comunicación se han encargado de difundir, configurando la opinión pública en torno a temas relacionados con la situación económica del país. Este estudio explora la representación mediática de los think tanks españoles, desde un punto de vista cuantitativo. Asimismo, se analiza su concentración en medios y agencias nacionales durante la década 2009-2018. Se realiza un análisis comparado en los períodos 2009-2013 y 2014-2018. Para llevar a cabo la investigación se ha desarrollado un análisis cuantitativo de los contenidos publicados sobre 62 think tanks españoles. Los resultados sugieren que la representación mediática de los think tanks aumenta gradualmente a lo largo de los años, con independencia del ciclo económico.

Pauperização, consumismo, superstições e pedagogia social
Authors: Duarte José B.
Published: April 2021

Este ensaio procura responder a uma questão tripartida: Como pode a pedagogia social reagir face 1) ao crescente “precariado” ou pauperização que ameaça os trabalhadores de todo o mundo, 2)  à alienação consumista promovida pela poderosa publicidade assegurada pelo capitalismo internacional, 3) a outras formas de alienação como a pseudociência e as múltiplas superstições, fenómenos espalhados por todo o mundo, sob diferentes formas? Com base em diferentes autores (entre eles Standing, Marcuse, Bauman, Sagan e Popper) argumentamos que à escola, à comunicação social e às organizações sociais, ligadas a autarquias ou a associações populares, compete promover uma reflexão fundamental quanto à ameaça de pauperização que paira sobre a humanidade e quanto à atmosfera do consumismo promovida pelas forças do mercado globalizado. Mas é imperativo também que essas mesmas agências de pedagogia social promovam o debate sobre a pseudociência e as múltiplas formas de superstição, de modo a desenvolver na sociedade atual a consciência crítica face a todas as formas de alienação e o acesso a uma visão de base científica sobre a história da humanidade e do universo.
Physiological, Ecological and Genetic Interactions of Rice with Harmful Microbes
Authors: Jia Yulin , H. Jia Melissa
Published: April 2021

Rice is one of the most important food crops for mankind and suffers significant crop loss annually due to rice diseases. Availability of genome sequences of rice has served as a springboard to utilize its innate immunity to prevent rice diseases. Knowledge on interactions of rice and rice pathogens has rapidly accumulated. Effective resistance genes have been identified from cultivated, weedy species of rice, and wild rice relatives and their roles in plant innate immunity have been uncovered. Presently, rice diseases are being managed using host resistance genes and pesticides in diverse culture systems around the globe. This chapter presents a simple review of interactions of rice with harmful microbes causing the two major damaging diseases, rice blast and sheath blight. The review is written to target new readers in life sciences. Knowledge and critical literatures on physiological, genetic, and ecological aspects of host-pathogen interactions are presented to gain insights leading to sustainable disease management systems.
L199, A NEW VARIABLE STAR IN M13
Authors: Violat-Bordonau Francisco
Published: April 2021

During a routine study of the variable stars of Messier 13 (NGC 6205 = Cl 1639+365) we have discovered the variability of L199 (TYC 2588-1386-2), a red giant star member of the cluster: using the photometric data –in V band– obtained in the 2019 and 2020 campaigns we have verified its variability. Data from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and Deras et al. (2019) were utilized to determine its type of variability and period estimation: our data suggest that it is a semiregular red giant, similar to the other variables of this type of the cluster, whose cycles of photometric variation are not identical; we derived a period of ~27 days (although without a regular periodicity) and an amplitude smaller: 0.08 ± 0.03 magnitudes in V band although they may be somewhat larger or smaller. With this discovery the cluster now has 63 variable stars.

Context.—

Genomic molecular testing practices in a pediatric tertiary care institution can vary in utility by patient indication.

Objective.—

To evaluate exome sequencing (ES) ordering practices and the effects of applying criteria to support ES stewardship. Exome sequencing can provide molecular diagnostic information for patients with known or suspected genetic diseases, but it is relatively expensive, and the cost is often borne by patients, institutions, and payers.

Design.—

We examined ordering patterns of ES approved by board-certified geneticists at our tertiary pediatric care center, as well as preauthorization outcomes for ES requests. We compared positivity rates among patients by patient phenotype, composite insurance coverage criteria, and insurance preauthorization outcome.

Results.—

Patients who met composite coverage criteria were more likely to receive a positive result from ES compared to patients who did not meet composite coverage criteria, though this trend was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in ES results between patients who were denied or not denied preauthorization by insurance payers.

Conclusions.—

Insurance payers should consider implementing and/or expanding coverage criteria for ES, and institutions should implement stewardship programs to support appropriate ES practices.

Published: April 2021

Context.—

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the most common site of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, accounting for 20% to 40% of all extranodal lymphomas. The majority of these are systemic processes secondarily involving the GI tract. Primary GI lymphomas are less common, accounting for approximately 10% to 15% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Most non-Hodgkin lymphomas involving the GI tract are of B-cell lineage, of which diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common subtype, irrespective of location.

Objective.—

To review the lymphoproliferative neoplasms of B-cell and T-cell lineage involving the luminal GI tract according to the most prevalent subtypes at each anatomic site.

Data Source.—

Systematic search of the PubMed database for updated literature on GI lymphoma epidemiology, subtypes, clinical, endoscopic, and genetic findings. Histologic images are derived from our collection of clinical cases.

Conclusions.—

The GI tract is the most common site of extranodal lymphoproliferative neoplasms. Recognition of the most frequently encountered GI lymphomas is imperative for patient management and treatment.

Eschweilera coriacea, Eschweilera ovata e Lecythis idatimon são espécies arbóreas tropicais potencialmente comerciais, portanto, amplamente colhidas na Amazônia Oriental. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho de três funções de densidade probabilísticas no ajuste da distribuição diamétrica de três espécies de Lecythidaceae, para o período entre um e dez anos após a colheita florestal, em área manejada, em Moju, Pará. Foram selecionadas nove clareiras provenientes da exploração de impacto reduzido realizada em 1997. Em torno de cada clareira foram instaladas quatro faixas de 10 x 50 m, começando da bordadura da clareira para dentro da floresta, nas direções norte, sul, leste e oeste, perfazendo uma amostragem de 1,8 ha. Foram mensurados todos os indivíduos com DAP ≥ 5 cm em duas medições (1998 e 2007). Foram testadas as funções de densidade probabilísticas Weibull 3P, Gamma e Weber. Para a seleção do melhor modelo, foram avaliados o valor D de Kolmogorov – Smirnov (α = 0,05), erro padrão da estimativa (Syx%), coeficiente de determinação ajustado (R² ajustado) e análise gráfica das curvas de frequências estimadas sobre o histograma das observadas. Em ambos os anos, a função Weibull 3P apresentou as melhores estatísticas de ajuste e maior precisão para descrever a distribuição diamétrica de Eschweilera coriacea e Lecythis idatimon, e o modelo de Weber para Eschweilera ovata. A função Gamma foi descartada para todas as espécies. Os resultados indicam a não viabilidade do uso de uma mesma função para descrever diferentes espécies, necessitando considerar as características intrínsecas de cada espécie.

Na presente pesquisa, objetivou-se avaliar os rendimentos gravimétricos da carbonização e as características qualitativas do carvão vegetal de clones de híbridos obtidos dos cruzamentos de espécies de Corymbia, e identificar os mais adequados para uso siderúrgico. Seis clones, aos 6 anos e 5 meses de idade, foram utilizados na pesquisa e amostradas cinco árvores de cada material genético. As carbonizações laboratoriais foram realizadas à temperatura final de 450°C, taxa de aquecimento de 100°C.h-1 e tempo de residência de 30 minutos. Os rendimentos gravimétricos da carbonização foram determinados em relação à madeira seca. O carvão produzido foi qualificado, considerando-se a análise química imediata, poder calorífico superior, densidade energética, consumo específico de madeira e a eficiência energética. Na avaliação do experimento, foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com cinco repetições (árvores). A análise multivariada de componentes principais foi empregada para obter a variância dos vetores normalizados, considerando as características avaliadas nos carvões. Os resultados obtidos indicaram o elevado potencial para a utilização dos materiais genéticos de Corymbia, para fins energéticos, sobretudo para a produção de carvão vegetal siderúrgico. O clone 1 foi o destaque para a produção de carvão vegetal e lenha, pois apresenta maiores densidades aparentes e energéticas, maior teor e rendimento em carbono fixo, além de possuir menor consumo específico de madeira por tonelada de carvão vegetal produzido. Os clones 2 e 4 foram os que mais se distinguiram dos demais, respectivamente, em decorrência de seu maior teor de cinzas e por apresentar maior consumo específico de madeira na produção de carvão. O uso de clones híbridos de Corymbia, para a produção de carvão vegetal, pode ser uma boa alternativa, em razão de seu rápido crescimento e qualidades semelhantes de madeira e carvão vegetal a outras espécies que já são usadas para a finalidade energética.

Nascentes são afloramentos do lençol freático que formam fluxos de água importantes na prestação de serviços ecossistêmicos, como irrigação de florestas, fornecimento de água para o consumo humano e habitat para a biota aquática. No Brasil, áreas de Mata Atlântica estão sendo gradativamente substituídas por culturas de eucalipto, alterando, comumente, a composição do substrato das nascentes. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se a composição granulométrica do sedimento de nascentes em áreas de floresta difere de nascentes em áreas plantadas com eucalipto. A hipótese testada foi que nascentes em áreas de eucalipto apresentam diferenças na composição granulométrica e menor porcentagem de matéria orgânica quando comparadas com nascentes em áreas de floresta. Para tanto, foi coletado o sedimento de 20 nascentes, todas pertencentes à bacia do rio Paraíba do Sul, situadas no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foi possível observar que as nascentes em áreas de floresta estiveram associadas com areia muito grossa, enquanto que aquelas em área de eucalipto estiveram associadas a partículas de granulometria mais fina. Em relação à matéria orgânica, não foi observada diferença significativa entre as duas áreas. O estudo enfatiza a importância da vegetação ciliar para mitigar potenciais impactos da silvicultura do eucalipto no sedimento das nascentes.
