Authors: Juvera Ávalos Janett , Cruz Sánchez Ileana , Peña Estrada Claudia Cintya
Published: June 2023

El ímpetu por involucrar a más mujeres en áreas STEM Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas), está presente en la producción de contenidos audiovisuales. El objetivo de esta investigación documental fue describir contenidos de este tipo en la plataforma YouTube que buscan fomentar las habilidades científicas en las niñas. El enfoque de la investigación fue cualitativo y exploratorio, se revisaron 242 producciones empleando la cartografía conceptual, en el que se incorporó un nuevo eje de análisis: el  torytelling. Los resultados apuntan a que las niñas se asumen agentes de cambio, les motiva intervenir en su entorno más cercano capaz de beneficiar a su familia, amistades y/o comunidad. Además, las prácticas STEM para niñas funcionan mejor cuando son medibles, atractivas y alcanzables; la robótica es la más utilizada. Si se sigue ampliando la gama de actividades STEM y experimentos científicos en YouTube, se fortalecerán las vocaciones científicas en las niñas y la reducción de la brecha de género.
الأمن مقابل التنمية في الدول المغاربية: دراسة لنموذجي المغرب والجزائر
Authors: العوفي محمد
Published: June 2023

تتناول هذه الدراسة الأمن القومي والتنمية الاجتماعية في كل من المغرب والجزائر، منظورًا إليهما بحسب مخصصاتهما من النفقات ضمن الإنفاق العام للدولتين، معتمدةً على قياسات كمية ونوعية لمؤشرات الإنفاق العسكري، والإنفاق على السياسات الاجتماعية الثلاث: الحماية الاجتماعية، الصحة، والتعليم. وذلك من وجهة نظر الاقتصاد السياسي للتسلح والتحليل الكلاني للأمن، وبإعمال منهج التحليل السياسي المدعوم بالاستدلال الكمي الإحصائي. وقد خلصت الدراسة لأن الإنفاق العسكري في الدولتين يتطور بوتيرة متسارعة، رغم تأثيره السلبي على السياسات الاجتماعية، مستفيدًا من سباق التسلح العسكري المحتدم بينهما، إلى جانب سيطرة النخبة العسكرية على السلطة الفعلية في الجزائر، وقوة ضغطها في المغرب. رغم ذلك، اعتبرت الدراسة أن الإشكال الحقيقي لتطور الإنفاق في البلدين، يرتبط بالأولويات الأمنية لأمنهما القومي: أمن النظام السياسي الموكل تأمينه إلى المؤسسة العسكرية، أولى من أمن المجتمع الذي يبتغيه الإنفاق الاجتماعي.

Abstract: As the primary power source for automobiles, the internal combustion (IC) engines have been widely used and served millions of people worldwide. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, biofuels have been obtained more attentions and are being used as alternative fuel to power IC engines. However, there are currently no standard solutions or well-established monitoring and assessment methods that can effectively evaluate the IC engine’s performance with biofuels. The expectation for biofuels is to keep the engine’s lifetime as long as the conventional fuels, or even longer. Otherwise, their usage would be unnecessary because they would reduce the lifecycle of the engine and also cause more waste and pollution. To address this challenge, we initially designed two biofuels: waste cooking oil biofuel (WCOB) and lamb fat biofuel (LFB). Then we proposed an online big-data monitoring and assessment framework for IC engines operating with various types of fuel. We conducted comprehensive experiments and comparisons based on the proposed framework. The results indicate that LFB performs best under all the performance indicators.

Abstract: When an intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) autonomously completes an intelligent driving assignment, the decision planning layer needs to plan an optimal path from the starting location to the target location for the vehicle, which is referred to as global path planning (GPP) for the ICV. For the GPP of ICVs undertaking long-distance and multi-location driving assignments, a fixed open travelling salesman problem (TSP) was constructed in conjunction with travel time analysis. To better address this issue, a genetic annealing algorithm (GAA) was proposed, and corresponding simulations were conducted using genetic algorithm, ant colony algorithm, and GAA respectively. Based on the optimization processes and results, the GAA outperformed the traditional genetic algorithm and ant colony algorithm in tackling this issue. Therefore, the method proposed in this paper can be applied to the global path planning platform for intelligent networked vehicles.

Abstract: It is perceived that oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) perturbs endothelial function and fosters endothelin-1 (ET-1) secretion although the underlying mechanism remains elusive. This study was designed to decipher potential mechanisms underscoring oxLDL-evoked regulation of ET-1 and signaling pathways involved in endothelial cells. ET-1 mRNA expression, secretion and promoter function were determined using RT-PCR, enzyme immunometric and luciferase assays, respectively. GO and GSEA bioinformatics analyses depicted differentially expressed genes (DEGs) mainly associated with cell proliferation, cell division, cellular structure, energy supply, and apoptosis in oxLDL-challenged endothelial cells. Incubation of oxLDL overtly increased ROS production, apoptosis, mRNA level, secretion and promoter activity of ET-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), the effects were mitigated by N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC). Moreover, oxLDL challenge evoked phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) in HUVECs, the effect was reversed by NAC and MEK inhibitor PD98059. NAC and PD98059 nullified oxLDL- induced rises in mRNA expression, secretion and promoter activity of ET-1. Truncation of 5’-flanking sequence of ET-1 (–566 bpLuc to –250 bpLuc) displayed elevated luciferase activity with 24-h oxLDL incubation. Fusion plasmid from –233 and –185 bp Luc drastically dampened luciferase activity in basal and oxLDL-challenged HUVECs. Transfection of reporter construct –250 bp Luc with a 2 bp mutation at AP-1 locus, removed basal and oxLDL- evoked rises in ET-1 promoter activity. Collectively, our findings support that oxLDL evoked activation of ERK1/2 signaling likely through ROS production, en route to upregulation of endothelial transcriptional factor AP-1, resulting in expression and secretion of ET-1.

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CDV) is the primary cause of death in the world, and myocardial ischemia (MI) is one of the high-risk CVDs. The myocardial blood supply must be restored as soon as possible to reduce the mortality risk, however, reperfusion itself paradoxically leads to further death of cardiomyocytes and increases the infarct size; this is known as myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI). The pathological mechanism of MIRI is complex, and current research mainly focuses on oxidative stress, dysfunctional mitochondrial energy metabolism, Ca 2+ overload, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERs) and the inflammatory response. This review briefly summarizes the mechanism of MIRI, and natural plant product (NPP) components proven to ameliorate MIRI and their related signaling pathways. NPPs can alleviate MIRI by regulating oxidative stress, inflammation, ERs, Ca 2+ overload and mitochondrial function maintenance. This review will deepen our understanding of how NPPs reduce MIRI and the future value of NPPs in cardio-protection.

Abstract: The human body is a complex organism with self-regulating ability and can cope with external pressures and challenges. To protect the body from damage during exercise or confrontations, beneath the human epidermal layer, the human body has evolved a coverall gown: the extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM provides a suitable space for the survival and activity of cells in the body, and affects the behavior of cells through signal transduction system. Proteoglycans, particularly the small leucine rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family, have been shown to be molecules that play important roles in matrix remodeling and organ fibrosis, such as by affecting ECM components or altering the intracellular environment. But in recent years reports of SLRP families, their manifestations in different organs have not been consistent. Recent studies suggest that proteoglycans entering the blood in a soluble form hold promise as diagnostic biomarkers of organ fibrosis and may provide novel therapeutic strategies for fibrotic diseases. Herein, we discuss and review studies of SLRPs in multi-organ fibrotic diseases.
L’IDENTITÀ SOCIO-CULTURALE DELLE COMUNITÀ DI ITALIANI NELL’EUROPA CENTRO ORIENTALE. UN’INTRODUZIONE
Authors: Ricci Antonio
Published: June 2023

L’articolo tratta delle comunità di italiani che si sono formate in diversi paesi dell’Europa centro orientale a partire dal medioevo e dall’età moderna, prestando particolare attenzione a quelle che si sono consolidate nel periodo tra la fine del XIX secolo e la prima metà del XX secolo. Nate spesso in alternativa alle mete tradizionali d’oltreoceano e dell’Europa settentrionale, nel corso del tempo queste comunità hanno conosciuto storie diverse, alcune hanno scelto di tornare in Italia, altre invece sono rimaste, assimilandosi o preservando la propria identità socio-culturale e diventando minoranze etniche. Il periodo del socialismo reale ha rappresentato per molti italiani un periodo di isolamento e di perdita della propria identità. Con la caduta del muro di Berlino, le vicende di queste comunità di “italiani dimenticati” si sono intrecciate ai flussi migratori dei cosiddetti global migrant dei nostri giorni. L’articolo approfondisce quindi caso-studio dell’emigrazione degli italiani in Romania nell’Ottocento, che ha avuto un forte impatto sull’economia e sulla cultura dei due paesi. All’epoca i lavoratori italiani erano richiesti per le loro abilità in vari settori e questo ha creato legami culturali e sociali tra i due paesi la cui eco si riverbera sull’attuale immigrazione romena in Italia.

 

The socio-cultural identity of Italian communities in Central and Eastern Europe. An introduction

The article deals with the Italian communities that were formed in various countries of Central and Eastern Europe starting from the Middle Ages and the modern age, paying particular attention to those that consolidated between the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Often born as an alternative to the traditional overseas and northern European destinations, over time these communities have known different destinies, with some choosing to return to Italy, while others have remained, assimilating or preserving their own socio-cultural identity and becoming ethnic minorities. The period of real socialism represented for many Italians a time of isolation and loss of their own identity. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the events of these communities of “forgotten Italians” intertwined with the migratory flows of the so-called “global migrants” of our day. The article then explores the case study of the emigration of Italians to Romania in the 19th century, which had a strong impact on the economy and culture of the two countries. At the time, Italian workers were in demand for their skills in various sectors, creating cultural and social ties between the two countries whose echoes are reflected in the current Romanian immigration to Italy.

Published: June 2023

Nell’articolo viene presentata una panoramica delle principali caratteristiche che riguardano l’insegnamento/apprendimento dell’italiano in Slovenia e una riflessione sull’importanza dell’educazione interculturale al fine di contribuire all’inclusione del singolo nella società che lo circonda. Dopo una sintetica illustrazione del quadro giuridico nel quale si inserisce la tutela delle lingue minoritarie in Slovenia, si presenta il percorso scolastico e le caratteristiche dell’insegnamento/apprendimento della lingua italiana come lingua materna (L1) e lingua seconda (L2) nel territorio bilingue nonché come lingua straniera (LS) nel resto della Slovenia. In particolare, si cerca di presentare le peculiarità del modello di educazione bilingue del Litorale sloveno, territorio di confine e area di contatto di culture prevalentemente romanze e slave. Infine, viene evidenzia la necessità di applicare un approccio interculturale all’insegnamento in quanto il buon funzionamento della società multiculturale contemporanea dipende dalla consapevolezza della propria cultura congiuntamente all’esistenza di altre culture dell’ambiente.

 

The teaching of Italian in Slovenia

The article presents an overview of the main characteristics concerning the teaching/learning of Italian in Slovenia and a reflection on the importance of intercultural education as a social inclusion tool for the individual. After a brief illustration of the Slovenian legal framework related to the protection of minority languages, the paper presents the education process and the characteristics of the teaching/learning of the Italian language as mother tongue (L1), as Second Language (L2) in the bilingual territory and as Foreign Language (FL) in the rest of Slovenia. In particular, the study focuses on the peculiarities of the bilingual education model of the Slovenian Istria, a border territory and contact area of predominantly Romance and Slavic cultures. Finally, the article emphasizes the need to apply an intercultural approach to teaching since proper functioning of contemporary multicultural society depends on the awareness of one's own culture, together with the existence of other Cultures of the environment. In this way both teachers and students will be aware of the constant need to increase their linguistic and intercultural competences.
UN’INDAGINE SULLA PERCEZIONE DEL REPERTORIO LINGUISTICO DI DISCENDENTI ITALIANI SENIOR: VERSO NUOVE FUNZIONALITÀ DELLA LINGUA ETNICA
Authors: Ferroni Roberta
Published: June 2023

Il contributo prende in esame un campione di autobiografie linguistiche redatte da un gruppo di senior - discendenti d’italiani - che vivono nello Stato di San Paolo del Brasile. Lo studio qualitativo, condotto attraverso il metodo biografico-linguistico, mette in luce le percezioni che i parlanti conferiscono alle varietà del proprio repertorio attribuendo al portoghese-brasiliano e inglese ruoli di prestigio, in quanto percepite come lingue che hanno una certa spendibilità. In concomitanza della terza età i senior dichiarano di aver recuperato la lingua etnica in chiave strumentale. L’apprendimento dell’italiano è associato alla possibilità di rimanere “giovane” mentalmente e “allenato”. Lo studio rivela nuove funzionalità che la lingua etnica va acquistando all’interno dello spazio linguistico di discendenti senior. Considerando l’aumento esponenziale delle aspettative di vita a livello globale, si sottolinea l’importanza di stimolare specifiche politiche linguistiche educative tese a promuovere l’apprendimento dell’italiano secondo paradigmi educativi andragogici.

 

A study into the perception of the linguistic repertoire of senior Italian descendants: towards new ethnic language functionalities

The paper examines a sample of linguistic autobiographies written by a group of senior - descendants of Italians - living in the State of São Paulo in Brazil. The qualitative study, conducted through the biographical-linguistic method, highlights the perceptions that speakers give to the varieties of their repertoire by attributing to Portuguese-Brazilian and English a prestigious role, as perceived as languages that have a certain instrumental spendability. During their senior years, the seniors declared that they had recovered the ethnic language but in instrumental rather than affective-cultural key. Learning Italian is associated with the possibility of remaining "young" and mentally "trained". The study reveals new features that ethnic language is acquiring within the linguistic space of senior descendants. Considering the exponential increase in life expectancy at a global level, it is stressed the importance of stimulating specific educational language policies aimed at promoting the learning of Italian according to andragogic educational paradigms.
VARIETÀ DEL REPERTORIO LINGUISTICO DEGLI IMMIGRATI ITALIANI PRESENTI SULLA “STAFFETTA RIOGRANDENSE” E IL QUOTIDIANO “LA LIBERTÀ” (1909-1910)
Authors: Rocha da Cunha Karine Marielly , Francieli Motin Mara , Gabardo Diego
Published: June 2023

Questo lavoro propone un’analisi dei dialetti veneti presenti sul quotidiano cattolico La Libertà, stampato prima della Staffetta Riograndense, sulla quale erano stati pubblicati i capitoli di Nanetto Pipetta, una pietra miliare letteraria nelle lingue dell’immigrazione dal nord Italia al Brasile. L’obiettivo è contestualizzare la formazione de La Libertà e mostrare i dialetti presenti in quel giornale, soprattutto nei testi relativi a religione, lavoro e famiglia, in cui emergono le rappresentazioni dei coloni italiani. La pluralità della presenza dei dialetti è segnata dal contatto linguistico tra l’italiano e il portoghese brasiliano. Proponiamo allora una presentazione della vitalità dei dialetti presenti nel periodico citato. In questo lavoro non utilizzeremo il termine Talian come riferimento al risultato della lingua di contatto originata giacché trattasi dell’analisi di un periodo storico in cui il termine Talian non era ancora stato coniato. 

 

Variety of the linguistic repertoire of Italian immigrants in the “Staffetta Riograndense”  and the newspaper “La Libertà” (1909-1910)

This paper proposes an analysis of the Venetian dialects present in the Catholic newspaper La Libertà, printed before the Staffetta Riograndense, on which were published the chapters of Nanetto Pipetta, a literary milestone in the languages of immigration from northern Italy to Brazil. The goal of this paper is to contextualize the formation of La Libertà and show the dialects present in it, especially in texts related to religion, work and family, in which representations of Italian settlers emerge. The plurality of the presence of dialects is marked by the linguistic contact between Italian and Brazilian Portuguese. We then propose a presentation of the vitality of the dialects present in the mentioned newspaper. We will not use the term Talian as a reference to the result of the contact language originated since this is the analysis of a historical period when the term Talian had not yet been coined.
LE REGOLARITÀ NASCOSTE: ASPETTI COMUNICATIVI SOTTORAPPRESENTATI NELLA DIDATTICA L2/LS
Authors: Mastrantonio Davide
Published: June 2023

In questo articolo si riflette sull’esistenza di regolarità comunicative nascoste: fenomeni funzionali ricorrenti nei materiali linguistici dedicati agli apprendenti LS/L2, ma che per varie ragioni non sono ancora entrati a pieno titolo nel campo di azione della didattica dell’italiano. L’analisi si basa principalmente su un piccolo campione di manuali, con alcuni confronti condotti sui sillabi per stranieri e sulle grammatiche pedagogiche. Fare luce su questi aspetti è una priorità per chi si occupa di educazione linguistica: da un lato perché la riflessione metalinguistica è un fattore importante per l’apprendimento, dall’altro perché i fenomeni in questione non riguardano solo gli scambi linguistici elementari, ma caratterizzano anche testi più complessi. La consapevolezza della loro esistenza in una fase precoce del percorso di apprendimento permette quindi di iniziare a costruire una competenza accademica, sotto il segno della continuità tra comunicazione quotidiana e lingua per lo studio.
 
The hidden regularities: communicative aspects underrepresented in L2/LS teaching
In this paper we reflect on the existence of hidden communicative regularities: functional phenomena that are recurrent in linguistic materials devoted to LS/L2 learners, but that for various reasons have not yet fully entered the scope of LS/L2 Italian teaching. The analysis is based mainly on a small sample of textbooks, with some comparisons conducted on foreigners’ syllabi and pedagogical grammars. Shedding light on these aspects is a priority for those involved in language education: on the one hand because metalinguistic reflection is an important factor in learning, and on the other hand because the regularities at issue do not only affect elementary conversations but also characterize more complex texts. Hence, gaining awareness of their existence at an early stage of the learning process makes it possible to start building an academic competence, within the frame of continuity between everyday communication and language for study.

I molteplici problemi e questioni nei quali ci si è imbattuti coinvolgono diversi aspetti: dalla definizione esatta degli etimi alla ricerca delle prime attestazioni in diverse banche dati lessicografiche e dizionari, sincronici e diacronici; dagli slittamenti semantici minimi ai cambi radicali di significato fra lingua di partenza e lingua d’arrivo; dalle oscillazioni grafo-morfologiche alle specificità delle varietà americane dello spagnolo; dall’ampliamento delle fonti all’inserimento di nuovi italianismi in fase di assestamento. Un complesso, ma allo stesso tempo stimolante, lavoro di classificazione ed interpretazione, per sua natura in continua revisione ed aggiornamento.

 

The OIM project and the italisnisms in the Spanish language

This contribution describes the results obtained by the Spanish research group involved in the classification of Italianisms within the OIM project (Osservatorio degli Italianismi nel Mondo) of the Accademia della Crusca. The multiple problems and issues encountered deal with different aspects, ranging from the exact definition of the etymons to the research of the first appearance in the various lexicographic banks and dictionaries, both synchronic and diachronic; from the minimal semantic shifts to the radical changes of meanings between source language and target language; from the spelling and morphology variations to the specific characteristics of the Latin American Spanish variations; from the widening of the sources to the inclusion of new Italianisms about to be consolidated in the language. A complex and stimulating job which included classification and interpretation and that, for its own nature, requires continuous revision and updating.
OIM E ITALIANISMI NELLO SPAGNOLO ARGENTINO: PRIME OSSERVAZIONI E RIFLESSIONI TEORICO-METODOLOGICHE
Authors: Ariolfo Rosana , Mariottini Laura

Nel presente lavoro descriviamo la ricerca che stiamo conducendo su “vecchi” e “nuovi” italianismi nel lessico dello spagnolo argentino, a partire da fonti sociolinguistiche (Meo Zilio, 1970, 1989) e lessicografiche differenziali autorevoli (DiHA. 2003, 2009; DiLA, 2019). L’obiettivo è dare conto della portata delle contaminazioni lessico-semantiche, della loro estensione ed evoluzione nel tempo, a partire dal 1970 – data della prima registrazione di carattere scientifico delle forme linguistiche derivate dal contatto – fino ad oggi. Sulla base della nostra ricerca, che consta di un database di 701 italianismi registrati e catalogati, stiamo collaborando con l’Osservatorio degli italianismi nel mondo (OIM), inserendo gli italianismi presenti nello spagnolo argentino. In questa sede presentiamo i primi risultati relativi all’attività svolta finora per l’OIM e alcune osservazioni teorico-metodologiche scaturite dall’inserimento dei dati in piattaforma.

OIM AND ITALIANISMS IN ARGENTINE SPANISH: FIRST REMARKS AND THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL REFLECTIONS

In this paper we describe the research we are conducting on “old” and “new” Italianisms in the lexicon of Argentinean Spanish, starting with sociolinguistic works (Meo Zilio, 1970, 1989) and differential lexicographic authoritative sources (DiHA, 2003, 2009; DiLA, 2019). The goal is to account for the extent of lexico-semantic contaminations, their extension and evolution over time, from 1970 – the date of the first scientific record of linguistic forms derived by the contact – to the present. On the basis of our research, which consists of a database of 701 Italianisms, registered and catalogued, we are collaborating with the Osservatorio degli italianismi nel mondo (OIM), entering in the platform Italian words present in the Argentinean variety of Spanish. Here, we present the initial results related to the work done until now for the OIM and some theoretical-methodological remarks arisen from our activity of data entry.
I DIATOPISMI FRANCOFONI NELLA BASE OIM: NOTE SULLA REVISIONE DELLE MARCATURE GEOGRAFICHE PER IL LEMMARIO FRANCESE
Authors: Brancaglion Cristina
Published: June 2023

Questo contributo descrive alcune modifiche recenti apportate al lemmario francese della base OIM, introdotte in seguito all’ampliamento delle ricerche ai diatopismi attestati negli spazi francofoni e alla conseguente necessità di utilizzare un sistema di ripartizione e marcatura geografica capace di distinguere tra le unità lessicali appartenenti al vocabolario condiviso da tutte le comunità francofone e quelle che costituiscono invece delle particolarità limitate ad una o più aree regionali. A questo scopo, viene anzitutto delineato brevemente l’evolversi di questo sotto-insieme di italianismi, per poi riflettere sulle categorie disponibili per la loro marcatura geografica e motivare la ridefinizione di alcune scelte. Saranno proposti degli estratti da schede lessicografiche tuttora in lavorazione al fine di illustrare più concretamente i diversi livelli di descrizione della variazione geografica nella banca dati.

FRANCOPHONE DIATOPISMS IN THE OIM BASE: NOTES ON THE REVISION OF GEOGRAPHICAL MARKINGS FOR THE FRENCH LEMMARY

This contribution describes some recent modifications to the French lemmary of the OIM base, introduced after the extension of research to the diatopisms attested in Francophone areas and the consequent need to use a system of distribution and geographical classification capable of distinguishing between lexical units belonging to the vocabulary shared by all French-speaking communities and those that constitute particularities limited to one or more regional areas. For this purpose, we will first briefly outline the evolution of this sub-group of Italianisms, then reflect on the categories available for their geographical marking and motivate the redefinition of certain choices. Extracts from lexicographic sheets which are still in progress will be proposed in order to illustrate more practically the different levels of description of geographical variation in the database.

Published: June 2023

Diesel fuel price is rapidly increasing burdening the agricultural production costs. Additionally, diesel is contributing to a significant amount of life cycle greenhouse gases emissions. Strategically, using agricultural feedstock, such as soybean oil, will reduce fossil fuel price volatility and carbon footprint from agriculture. Although cheaper than biodiesel, use of pure soybean oil has shown to damage a regular diesel engine because of its high viscosity. In this work, a novel technology was developed and tested to overcome this problem by fueling a direct injection Diesel engine with refined soybean oil (edible oil) heated by engine coolant and exhaust gases. Thermal efficiency, air/fuel ratio, fuel injection timing, exhaust temperature and exhaust emissions were evaluated. The major finding of this study was to identify the feasibility of running a modified engine properly with heated soybean oil. The results showed that soybean oil use reduces emissions of nitrogen oxides, but contributes both to lower thermal efficiency and higher emissions of other products such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter compared to fossil diesel. Despite these negative results, solutions to reduce pollutant emissions are feasible.

Emotional intelligence is a person's ability to recognize himself, control himself, motivate himself, empathize, and the ability to build relationships (cooperation) with others. Most teachers only consider students to excel if their intelligence scores are high, even though emotional intelligence influences success more. With good emotional intelligence, it is hoped that it can influence student achievement in PAI learning. The method used in this research is a quantitative survey method. With Linear Regression analysis technique. The sample of this research is the students of the one-roof SMPN Pengampon Kabuh Jombang with the results of the general simple linear regression equation: Y = a + bX. Y = 55.461 + 0.429X this equation can be translated: a constanta of 55.461 and a regression coefficient of X of 0.429 states that the regression coefficient is positive, so it can be said that the direction of the influence of variable X is positive. And seen from the r2 value of 0.472 or 47.2%, the amount of contribution (contribution) of intelligence to learning achievement in PAI and 52.8% is influenced by other factors.

Genotype × environment interaction on grain yield and yield components in bread wheat
Authors: SIDDQUIE MD , HOQUE MD
Published: June 2023

Genotype by environment (Location) interaction (GEI) is essential for identifying environment-specific and widely adapted genotypes of wheat. The experiment was carried out across five locations (Shyampur and Godagari under Rajshahi district, Nachole at Chapainawabganj, Sapahar at Naogaon and Lalpur at Natore district in north-west Bangladesh) to assess GEI effects on grain yield and its components and to identify high yielding and stable genotypes of wheat for grain yield in the year of 2020-21. Combined analyses of variance for G and GEI were significant for almost all traits. Significant GEI suggested that the performance of genotypes was not consistent across locations, revealing strong influence of environments on the expression of phenotype for all traits. Average over five locations, genotypes G84 (3647 kg ha-1) and G76 (3576 kg ha-1) exhibited maximum values for grain yield and also produced similar tillers m-2 (SPM) and grains spike-1 (GPS) where difference between them was statistically insignificant thus appeared as leading genotypes for yield and production traits. Again, the genotypes G84 and G76 produced statistically insignificant maximum yield in all locations indicating that they are high yielding and wide adapted genotypes. The genotype G80 produced insignificant yield and other yield traits with G76 and G84 across the locations indicating its wide adaptability. However, G26, G69 and G77 with higher grain yield in Shyampur, G53 and G59 in Godagari ,G20 in Lalpur, G3 in Nachole and G8 in Sapahar proved their specific adaptability in particular locations. Among locations, Shyampur and Godagari were identified as highly productive locations in terms of grain yield and positive environmental index. Correlation analysis showed that grain yield had strong positive association with spikes m-2 (r = 0.92**), grains spike-1 (r = 0.72**) and TGW (r = 0.89**). On the basis of mean grain yield and higher positive phenotypic index for SPM, GPS, TGW and GY, G76, the genotypes G84,G76 and G80 were found as high yielding genotypes and thus could be recommended as important breeding materials in upcoming specific breeding program for drought prone north-west part of Bangladesh.

(selenium nanoparticles) are formed by simple mixing Withania somnifera (W. somnifera) leaves extract and selenious
acid (H2SeO3) solution. Nanoparticles have revolutionized for targeted drug delivery by minimizing the toxicity and side
effects that commercially available drugs may have on patients. In this study we have chosen the clove and cumin because
it protects from cholesterol, inflammatory damage and it has antioxidant property
Aim: The aim of the study is to analyze the antioxidant activity of clove and cumin formulation mediated selenium
nanoparticles.
Materials & Methods: Cumin and Clove were powdered and stored in an air-sealed container. 1g of cumin and clove
formulation was mixed with 100 ml of distilled water and boiled for 15 minutes and the formulation was filtered with
Whatmann No.1 filter paper. 30mM sodium selenite was prepared in 50 ml of distilled water. 50 ml of sodium selenite
solution and 50 ml of clove and cumin formulation was mixed and kept in a rotary shaker for 48 hours. UV spectroscopy
reading based on color change was observed.
Results: The antioxidant effect of selenium nanoparticles showed a higher percentage of inhibition at 50µg/ml in DPPH
Assay and H2O2 Assay. The clove and cumin extract showed an increased percentage of inhibition with increasing
concentration.
Conclusion: The clove and cumin formulation mediated selenium nanoparticles acts as potent antioxidant agents. It also
has the least side effects compared to commercial drugs.

Background: In December 2019 when the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak appeared it was thought to affect mainly adult population while majority of children were not affected and showed only mild symptoms unlike adults. During this period in the emergency common strategy that was followed was shutting down schools in most countries to control rapid raise of SARS-CoV-2 infections. Extended vaccination for children in the age group of 15–18 years was started in India since January 3, 22 with COVAXIN vaccine. This study was intended to gain knowledge about vaccination pattern and status of adverse event following immunisation among children.

Aims and Objectives: To assess pattern of coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccination among school going adolescents.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in rural field practice area of a medical college in South India. It was conducted over a period of 2 months at schools in rural field practice area of medical college. Data was collected from the study participants (15–18 years) pertaining to demographic details, information related to COVID appropriate behavior, vaccination and AEFIs. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.00.

Results: Total number of participants enrolled in the study were 126. A total of 124 out of 126 were vaccinated with at least a dose of COVAXIN. Overall 94 (75.8%) and 18 (36.7%) of the participants suffered from AEFI following 1st and 2nd dose respectively. AEFIs in were found to be mild and non-serious. Out of 126 participants, three diagnosed with COVID-19 infection post vaccination. None among three required hospitalization. Majority of them followed wearing mask, handwashing and use of hand sanitizer as COVID appropriate behavior.

Conclusion: Based on our sample included in our study, it reflects that vaccination coverage and acceptance was better among adolescents. Among adolescents who received COVID-19 vaccination most of them experienced mild AEFI just like adults.
Anti-inflammatory effect of ethanolic extract of Aegle marmelos leaves on carrageenan-induced rat paw edema
Authors: Ramadoss Saranya , G Vishnupriya
Published: June 2023

Background: Inflammation is an essential biological protective response of the body which can occur due to various external and internal stimuli. Although it is an essential response, excess inflammation can be detrimental and hence it should be controlled with appropriate medication.

Aims and Objectives: To assess the anti-inflammatory property of ethanolic extract of Aegle marmelos leaves in Wistar rats.

Materials and Methods: A total of 24 male adult Wistar albino rats weighing approximately 150–200 g were used in the study. Acute anti-inflammatory activity was tested by employing a carrageenan-induced paw edema model. 24 rats were divided randomly into 4 groups. The study was conducted with Group I as the control group. Groups II and III received indomethacin (25 mg/kg) and 200 mg/kg of extract respectively. Group IV received extract and half dose of indomethacin (12.5 mg/kg). The anti-inflammatory property was expressed in terms of percentage inhibition (PI). Statistical analysis was conducted by one-way analysis of variance, following which Tukey’s post hoc test was done for multiple comparisons. P < 0.05 was considered to be a statistically significant value.

Results: Mean paw edema was significantly reduced in both Groups III and IV at all hours of inflammation compared to control. Group III exhibited maximum PI of 27% at 4 h and Group IV exhibited maximum PI of 49% at 6 h of inflammation. The anti-inflammatory activity of Group IV was comparable to Group II.

Conclusion: As a result of the above findings it can be concluded that the ethanolic extract of Aegle leaf has significant anti-inflammatory properties.
