Regspraak: The availability of the actio legis aquiliae and the actio iniuriarum between spouses
Authors: Neethling J
Published: June 2021

Daar is geen klinkklare antwoord in die Suid-Afrikaanse reg op die vraag of gades mekaar met die actio legis Aquiliae en die actio iniuriarum kan aanspreek nie. Vir doeleindes hiervan word onderskei tussen huwelike buite en binne gemeenskap van goed. Net eersgenoemde is hier van direkte belang en die positiefregtelike posisie sien soos volg daaruit: ’n Gade getroud buite gemeenskap van goed mag in beginsel stante matrimonio vrylik enige van dié twee deliksaksies teen die ander gade instel. In TG v WC was die partye, getroud buite gemeenskap van goed, besig om te skei. Hulle is getroud na ’n verhouding waarin die verweerder te kenne gegee het dat hy die eiseres lief het en altyd saam met haar wil wees. Kort na huweliksluiting het hul verhouding egter verbrokkel toe die verweerder haar begin verneder en gevra het om die huis te verlaat. Die eiseres het toe uitgevind dat op die tydstip wat die verweerder haar gevra het om te trou, hy reeds gemeen het dat hul verhouding onherstelbaar verbrokkel het, maar dit nie vir haar gesê het nie. Sodoende het hy haar deur sy bedrieglike wanvoorstelling beweeg om die huwelik te sluit. Gebaseer op dié feite, het die eiseres die verweerder op twee skuldoorsake aangespreek; eerstens die Aquiliese aksie om skadevergoeding te eis vir die suiwer ekonomiese verlies wat sy gely het (haar onkoste weens die huwelik) as gevolg van die verweerder se opsetlike wanvoorstelling; en tweedens die actio iniuriarum om solatium te verhaal weens die aantasting van haar eer en goeie naam. Die verweerder teken eksepsie teen beide eise aan op grond daarvan dat geeneen ’n skuldoorsaak daarstel nie. Die hof beslis dat die eiseres se eerste eis nie gedingsvatbaar is nie omdat dit strydig met openbare en regsbeleid sou wees. Ten onregte. Dit is gevestigde reg dat ’n opsetlike wanvoorstelling wat tot kontraksluiting lei, contra bonos mores en bygevolg onregmatig is en daarom ’n deliktuele skuldoorsaak uitmaak. Die hof moes dus die eksepsie teen hierdie eis van die hand gewys het. Daarenteen het die hof tereg bevestig, soos deesdae algemeen aanvaar word, dat die actio iniuriarum tot die beskikking van gades getroud buite gemeenskap van goed is en dat daar dus geen hindernis vir ’n vrou is om haar man weens iniuria aan te spreek nie. Die eksepsie teen hierdie eis word dus tereg afgewys.

Authors: Junsay Jr. Feddy B. , Madrigal Dennis V.
Published: June 2021

Online education is a rapidly growing phenomenon for teachers. With the outbreak of COVID-19, there are changes in all societies worldwide, and a forcible shift in the medium of teaching and learning is inevitable. This paper explored the social science teachers' lived experiences in a Chinese school during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This qualitative study utilized the phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of eight full-time and tenured social science teachers determined using purposive sampling.  The data were collected from the participants using an in-depth semi-structured interview. Meanwhile, the recursive textual analysis guided by the three C's of Lichtman was employed to analyze the data thematically.  The findings show that social science teachers faced challenges in online teaching such as personal, technical, and teaching strategies.  It also found that the teachers have difficulty motivating students to participate in the online class activities and submission of outputs.  Despite the challenges, the teachers were able to surmount the difficulties because of the support of the administration and their fellow teachers.  Generally, the unfolding of online teaching challenges confronted by school heads, teachers, and students will make them resilient to adapt and embrace virtual education.

Published: June 2021

Malaria is a disease that is still a world health problem, in 2019 the number of malaria cases reached 229 million people. Indonesia is a developing region with a tropical and subtropical climate that is favored by Anopheles sp. Mosquitoes as their habitat. Malaria cases in Indonesia have increased based on the indicator of Annual Parasite Incidence (API) malaria and outbreaks (KLB) in several endemic areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the incidence of malaria in Indonesia by using literature studies in the last 5 years (2016-2020). The method used was a literature review with a literature search component, inclusion exclusion criteria, and study selection and quality assessment. The number of samples of this study were 22 samples of research articles. The results showed that there are several factors that most dominate the incidence of malaria in Indonesia, namely the use of mosquito nets (11 articles), the presence of breeding places (9 articles), the habit of going out at night (9 articles), and the use of mosquito repellents (5 articles). It is hoped that people in malaria endemic areas can use mosquito nets at night, always clean standing water around the house, avoid outdoor activities at night if not needed, and can avoid mosquito bites by using mosquito repellent.

People started to work together in company apartments or elsewhere. But after the development of the Internet infrastructure. Common people are able to get easy access to the internet at their comfort. People were now able to work at home, which earlier they used to go to offices. This seems to be an advantage at first like less travelling, less pollution etc. But people are less productive in work which requires communication. Especially the education system which requires healthy communication between one another. Working physically alone also makes the person feel isolated. This problem is now being solved by Big tech companies. And it turns out to be a system called virtual workplace. Virtual Workplace is being implemented by a good number of companies. Many multinational companies already have products to serve this purpose. We can say that these already built virtual workplaces are the first or second generation of technology. But still a lot of space is too filled and that’s what we will try to do. Most Importantly creating a virtual environment which imitates working side by side even if they are remote places.
Effect of Microstructural Bands on the Localized Corrosion of Laser Surface-Melted 316L Stainless Steel
Authors: Hwa Yoon , Kumai Christopher S. , Yang Nancy , Yee Joshua K. , Devine Thomas M.
Published: June 2021

The localized corrosion of laser surface melted (LSM) 316L stainless steel is investigated by a combination of potentiodynamic anodic polarization in 0.1 M HCl and microscopic investigation of the initiation and propagation of localized corrosion. The pitting potential of LSM 316L is significantly lower than the pitting potential of wrought 316L. The LSM microstructure is highly banded as a consequence of the high laser power density and high linear energy density. The bands are composed of zones of changing modes of solidification, cycling between very narrow regions of primary austenite solidification and very wide regions of primary ferrite solidification. Pits initiate in the outer edge of each band where the mode of solidification is primary austenite plane front solidification and primary austenite cellular solidification. The primary austenite regions have low chromium concentration (and possibly low molybdenum concentration), which explains their susceptibility to pitting corrosion. The ferrite is enriched in chromium, which explains the absence of pitting in the primary ferrite regions. The presence of the low chromium regions of primary austenite solidification explains the lower pitting resistance of LSM 316L relative to wrought 316L. The influence of banding on localized corrosion is applicable to other rapidly solidified processes such as additive manufacturing.

Prevalence of Intestinal Nematodes among Children below 10 years attending Kiwoko Hospital Pediatric Unit, Kasana, Nakaseke, District, Uganda.
Authors:   , Nvule Henry Pecos
Published: June 2021

Background: Intestinal nematodes are among the most common parasites infecting humans in developing countries, precise estimates of the populations at risk of infection are difficult to derive. Therefore to understand the disease burden there is a need for reliable data on the prevalence of infection as well as information on the risk factors of infection. Methodology: 99 stool samples were collected from children who presented with diarrhea, fever, itchy anus opening all symptoms of intestinal nematode infection. Stool samples were screened using the direct saline method. Samples negative by direct saline were further examined using the formal ether technique and stained by eosin for visualization of parasites eggs. A questionnaire was administered to their guardians/parents to assess the risk factors of infection. Results: The prevalence of intestinal nematode infection was found to be 62.6% (62/99). The intestinal nematode infection rate was found to be higher in children over five years as compared to children below five years with a prevalence of 64.2% (43/67) and 59.4% (19/32) respectively. The prevalence of infection by sex was 66% (31/47) in males and 59.6% (31/52) in females. Ascaris lumbricoides were the most prevalent parasite identified in 25 of the 62 patients infected with intestinal nematodes. This was followed by Hookworm (17/62), Trichuris trichiura (12/62), and Strongyloides stercoralis(8/62). Poor hygiene was the most common risk factor cited followed by illiteracy and poverty. Conclusion and recommendations: The results show intestinal nematode infection is common in children attending the Kiwoko pediatric unit. This, therefore, calls for different stakeholders such as public health officers, medical personnel, and the community to develop new strategies to educate the community on existing government programs aimed at the elimination of intestinal nematode infection in children in the Nakaseke district.

Authors: Cheremoshkina Lyubov Valerievna
Published: June 2021

The article discusses the need for nationally oriented education in the unity of the processes of education, training and personal development. The relevance of the parameters of educational results most desirable for the security of Russia and the preservation of the nation is emphasized. The theory of nationally oriented education with the necessary necessity presupposes a methodology of education, training and development of a morally and patriotically mature personality, ready for socially responsible behavior and constructive activity. The theory of nationally oriented education should include: the concept of a new didactics; the concept of education in conditions of a radically changed being layer of life of children and adults; the concept of the development of intelligence as a systemic interaction of cognitive abilities and a representative picture of the world. In the prevailing geopolitical, socio-cultural and socio-economic conditions, a nationally oriented education should be a state and personally significant basis for the formation of individual and public consciousness. The goals and principles of the organization of education should be methodologically consistent. The principle of variability can be one of the central in solving the problems of education and development, but it requires the necessary restrictions in the dissemination of individual strategies for the assimilation of knowledge and their diversity. The theory of nationally oriented education should be based on the primacy of content and the need for a unified foundation of the educational space, but without the limitations of an in-depth or expanded study of the subject with the use of additional literature.

Larvicidal activity of Tagetes and Mentha arvensis essential oil against the different instar larvae of Culex mosquitoes. Mosquitoes larvae are the attractive goal for pesticides as mosquitoes used to breed in standing water and therefore it is easy to deal with them in this type of habitat. The use of chemical pesticides may introduce harm to the lives of people and environment. Natural pesticides that we obtained from plants are better and promising than this chemical pesticides. Different aromatic plants oils that we obtained are used in different respects. Mosquitoes are the life threatening vectors which cause several harmful diseases like malaria, Zika virus and dengue. This study deals with the essential oils and extracts which work against this life threatening vector. The pesticidal activity of essential oil of Mentha against the mosquitoes larvae is due to its menthol content which is the main aroma spreading component of Mentha . Mosquitoes feed on the blood and severe as the important vector for spreading diseases related to human. Synthetic chemical pesticides are toxic and contaminating our environment. Natural pesticides may serve as a suitable alternative technique in future. The natural pesticides are effective, eco- friendly and safe surroundings. Mentha and Tagetes were tested for their repellency against Culex quinquefasciatus.

Published: June 2021

The current study was conducted in order to investigate the cellular-physiological responses of some enzymatic endogenous antioxidants of parasitic infection that were performed as a cellular metabolically defenses through estimation of oxidative stress biomarkers as indicators in patients with cutaneous leishmania and evaluation of these responses of endogenous antioxidants. The study included an individual of both genders: 60 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and 30 healthy individuals. Study volunteers were distributed into three age groups (1-20), (21- 40), and (41-60) years. The demographic data were collected for both the patient and healthy groups, including age and ABO-Rh blood groups. Also, the laboratory measurements were performed for all venous blood samples taken from patients and healthy subjects including measure the concentrations of oxidative stress biomarkers total oxidants status (TOS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and the concentrations of enzymatic antioxidants superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1). The demographical study revealed that the incidence of CL disease more occurs in males than females within early and mid-ages. On the other hand, a higher percentage of CL incidences were an early age (1–20 years) and mid-age (21–40 years). In addition, the predominant blood type among CL patients was A+ followed by O+ > B+ >AB+ and B- > A- > O- >AB- . The serum biochemical assays of cutaneous leishmaniasis patients indicated for a significant increase in serum concentrations of (TOS) and (MDA), and a significant decrease in concentrations of SOD1 and GPX1 in comparison to the healthy group for all sample age ranges. It is concluded that the pathogenesis of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused cellular oxidative stress represented by the high production of free radicals which functionally depleted the cellular metabolically levels of serum endogenous enzymatic antioxidants.

Nanotechnology is the art and science of manipulating material at atomic scale. It can also be defined as the designing, characterization, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at the nanoscale. The present investigation was carried out to assess the effect of Gold-nanoparticle treatment on vegetative and flowering attributes of Calendula. Experiment consisted of four treatments (5, 10, 15, 20 ppm Goldnanoparticle), along with control and was laid out in Randomized block design. Among the various treatments, application of 10 ppm of Gold-nanoparticle (T2 ) was found best for most of the parameters viz., plant height (73.95 cm), plant spread (54.62 cm), number of branches (25.15), number of leaves (127.55), number of flower (131.30), flower diameter (7.06 cm), flower weight (4.31), minimum days to flower bud initiation (30.85 days) and Flowering duration (105.15 days over the rest treatments. Treatment T4 (20 ppm Gold-nanoparticle) showed poor growth in most of the recorded parameters due to the toxicity of Gold-nanoparticle at higher concentration. Nanoparticles when applied to the plants can help them to cope up the adverse condition by releasing the ROS enzyme (Reverse Oxygen Species). During stress conditions ROS enzyme releases and antioxidant defense system of plant gets activated to maintain the normal equilibrium. As a result additional amount of proteins, carbohydrates and DNAs are formed. These additional molecules enhance plant growth and improve yield.

Lavender (Lavandula officinalis L) has high economic and medicinal value. The current experiment was carried out during the two successive seasons 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. It aimed to investigate the effect of compost, biofertilizers (Azospirillum spp., Azotobacter spp.), mixtures of them, and active dry yeast on vegetative and chemical composition of lavender herbs cultivated on plastic pots filled with sandy soil. Fertilizers were added to the plant roots three times during the growing seasons. Growth and yield characteristics were quantitatively assessed and were compared to each other. Lavender essential oil percentage was determined from the fresh herb, as well as the oil constituents to assess the oil quality. Moreover, the study was tailed by an economic assay to determine the study feasibility. Results indicated that application of biofertilizers significantly increased plant height, number of branches, fresh weight, dry weight, yield, % essential oils, N, P, K%, crude protein content, total pigment, antioxidant, flavonoid, phenol, total carbohydrates, and free amino acids contents compared with the control treatment. Mixtures of bacteria (Azotobacter, Azospirillum) treatments were the superior in all measured variables. It also increased the percentage of essential oils. The main essential oils (EO) constituents were linalool, linalyl acetate, borneol, terpinen4-ol, and 1,8-cineole. From the economic point of view, also the biofertilizer treatments were feasible, this could result in environmentally safe plants to minimize the hazards of pollution caused by using mineral fertilizers. The economic evaluation indicated that mixtures of bacteria resulted in the highest value of net return for lavender plants.

The European turtle dove is a migratory bird inhabiting Khuzestan province, especially in Karkheh National Parkin spring for breeding. Regarding the threats that species faces globally, understanding the breeding biology of species is a prerequisite for its effective conservation in the study area. Therefore, we surveyed 200 nests from egg laying to fledging to record the breeding characteristics of European turtle dove inside and outside Karkheh National Parkto investigate the impact of conservation on breeding success of the species. Our results indicated that nesting began on late April and ended on early August inside the park. Outside the park breeding started on early May and the last nestling left the nest on mid August. During these periods the turtle dove bred in three subsequent period. The overall nest success was 75.5% inside the National Park and 62.8% outside the Park. One of the most effective factors in the success of juvenile’s flight inside the park was the height of the nests above the ground which was on average 3.78±0.77 m inside in comparison with the height of the nests outside the park (2.38±0.5).

In the present study, Fifty random samples of each small-scale (plain yoghurt and kariesh cheese) were collected randomly from different dairy shops and markets in Zagazig city for isolation and identification of Escherichia coli which is considered a good indicator of faecal contamination and a major cause of food poisoning. Identification was done microscopically and biochemically by different biochemical tests (IMVIC).The incidence of E. coli in yoghurt and kariesh cheese samples were 36% and 50%, respectively. Also, the serological identification of E. coli isolates revealed that O26 is the most predominant serogroup by percentagesof27.77% and 28% in both yoghurt and kariesh cheese samples, respectively. Because of its rising resistance to antibiotics, E.coli represents a real threat to human health. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was done by disc diffusion method against 10 antimicrobials and the results revealed that E. coli isolates were highly resistant to amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, Cefotaxime and Ceftazidime, and were highly sensitive to chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin and tetracycline. In addition, 83.72%of E. coli isolates showed multi drug resistance (MDR).Bacterial adhesion to food surfaces and the formation of biofilmisa source of food contamination that has an impact on food safety and industry. Micro titer plate assay was used for testing biofilm formation and revealed that 69.77% of E. coli isolates were non-biofilm producers, 9.30% were weak biofilm producers, 20.93%were moderate biofilm producers and none of isolates was strong biofilm producers. Virulence genes of E. coli isolates were identified and characterized by a multiplex PCR assay. The results showed that among the target genes, stx1was most frequently detected by a percentage of81.82%

Neoseiulus californicus is considered a promising agent for successful controlling the two spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch. Vertimec, in selective doses, used to reduce the number of the two-spotted spider mite population withoutaffecting the survival of the predator. An open area was selected in El-Mahala district, El-Gharbia governorate to evaluate the utilizing of Vertimec followed by releasing N. californicus to control the population number of the two-spotted spider mite during unsuitable weather conditions for N. californicus, and activating the role of N. californicus to suppress the population number of T. urticae. An open area divided into two equal areas. The first area was allocated without Vertimec treatment and the second area was left for Vertimec treatment. The two areas are cultivated watermelon variety Sikata. The results obtained from releasing the predatory mite, N. californicus did not provide an advantage to prevent the two-spotted spider mite, T. urticae from exceeding the economic threshold level and subsequently deteriorated watermelon plant. In addition, the results obtained from spraying Vertimic pesticide before releasing the predatory mite N. californicus and duplicate the release of N. californicus was better of that obtained by releasing the predatory mite without using Vertimic in terms of suppressing the two-spotted spider mite, T. urticae.
