Identification of Counterfeit Drugs Using Decentralized Supply Chain
Authors: Gupta Koyel Datta , Gupta Aditya , Sharma Tanmay , Bhatnagar Aayush
Published: July 2022

This research attempts to overcome the problems faced by the medical
healthcare system by using the advancing technology of blockchains. Pharma
companies that manufacture and sell medicines face difficulties in tracking drugs,
which in turn allows the counterfeiters to exploit the system. The decentralized abilities
of blockchain technology enable us to counter the problems in existing centralized
systems. The blockchain helps us to make sure that the quality is maintained
throughout the decentralized supply chain. The use of blockchains in the medicine
supply chain solution entails tracking the validity of the medicine from the producer to
the distributor to the pharmacy. It assures that the pharmacist receives the original
medication and does not reach the grey market. In this paper, the decentralized
application which we created works using Ethereum and is based on blockchain
technology. The medicine discovered by a pharmaceutical company is to be validated
by an officer in a decentralized manner using smart contracts over Ethereum
transactions. The validated drugs can then be produced and sold on the platform, where
the entire data and the stages of the drug/medicine are tracked and stored. Research and
development of such a system are necessary to facilitate the proper supply and tracking
of medicines and to avoid counterfeiting.
Making Great Strides Towards Road Detection
Authors: Gaur Vimal
Published: July 2022

A significant amount of research has been carried out in extracting land
surface objects, but intelligent digital surface models for monitoring land surface
objects are still an active research topic due to emerging technologies such as IoT and
Blockchain. These technologies play an important role in quantifying the ecological
and geographical properties of the land surface. About such technology of detecting
buildings, roads, and terrain from satellite images offer a lot of potential for tracking
the migration of large chunks of the population and helps in geographical analysis of
the city. In this paper, we explore a Convolutional Neural Network method for
extracting land surface objects from satellite imaging with the help of U-Net. As a
known fact, the number of disasters occurring every year affects thousands of the
population, so suitable mechanisms must be provided for rescue operations. To provide
these rescue operations, predictions about the geographical location are of primary
importance. Our model produces reasonable accuracy of 60.62% at a very minimal loss
rate.

We did an online search for data in many published journals, both books, and articles, which we then studied carefully, such as involving data coding, data analysis, comprehensive data evaluation, and data interpretation so that these data become valid and valid findings to answer research problems and hypotheses.
Responding to Future Earth's Biodiversity Goals: Implementing Ecological Services, Agricultural Diversity and Bioresource Sustainability of the Shallow Mountain Slope Ecosystem in Dongshan District
Authors: Chiang Tzen-Yuh
Published: July 2022

Climate change and the resultant extreme weather events have disrupted agricultural ecosystems. In South Taiwan, serious droughts and unpredictable, heavy rainfall have caused slope sliding at lowland areas and led to significant agricultural and economic loss. A team of researchers
led by Professor Tzen-Yuh Chiang, that includes Dr Tsai-Wen Hsu and Professor Yu-Chung Chiang, and is based at the University Social Responsibility, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, wants to drive change in farming practices in the Dong Shan district, Taiwan. In work supported by the
Ministry of Science and Technology in Taiwan, the team is introducing a combination of natural and microbial farming practices. As such, the researchers have isolated and reformulated microbial fertilisers in the lab and applied them to enforce the health of crop roots. They have found that
many insects and birds are now back on the farm, acting as biological control, which removes the need for pesticides. The overall goal of the project is to rebuild the vegetation and natural ecosystem along the slopes of lowlands. Key to this is stopping slope exploration, along with using
microbial farming practices to enforce and ensure the health of crops. The project's success also relies on the use of microbial technology to culture microbes with sterile medium, which can then be used as fertilisers. This important work will help to integrate knowledge and policy about
the agricultural environment and the agricultural economy.

Bridging the Gap in End Tuberculosis Targets in the Elderly Population in Eastern China: Observational Study From 2015 to 2020
Authors: Liu Kui , Xie Zhenhua , Xie Bo , Chen Songhua , Zhang Yu , Wang Wei , Wu Qian , Cai Gaofeng , Chen Bin
Published: July 2022

Background

With a progressive increase in the aging process, the challenges posed by pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) are also increasing for the elderly population.

Objective

This study aimed to identify the epidemiological distribution of PTB among the elderly, forecast the achievement of the World Health Organization’s 2025 goal in this specific group, and predict further advancement of PTB in the eastern area of China.

Methods

All notified active PTB cases aged ≥65 years from Zhejiang Province were screened and analyzed. The general epidemiological characteristics were depicted and presented using the ArcGIS software. Further prediction of PTB was performed using R and SPSS software programs.

Results

Altogether 41,431 cases aged ≥65 years were identified by the surveillance system from 2015 to 2020. After excluding extrapulmonary TB cases, we identified 39,832 PTB cases, including laboratory-confirmed (23,664, 59.41%) and clinically diagnosed (16,168, 40.59%) PTB. The notified PTB incidence indicated an evident downward trend with a reduction of 30%; however, the incidence of bacteriologically positive cases was steady at approximately 60/100,000. Based on the geographical distribution, Quzhou and Jinhua Cities had a higher PTB incidence among the elderly. The delay in PTB diagnosis was identified, and a significantly prolonged treatment course was observed in the elderly. Moreover, a 50% reduction of PTB incidence by the middle of 2024 was predicted using a linear regression model. It was found that using the exponential smoothing model would be better to predict the PTB trend in the elderly than a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model.

Conclusions

More comprehensive and effective interventions such as active PTB screening combined with physical checkup and succinct health education should be implemented and strengthened in the elderly. A more systematic assessment of the PTB epidemic trend in the elderly population should be considered to incorporate more predictive factors.

Published: July 2022

Abstract            After the Yogya earthquake occurred on May 27, 2006, the opinions of experts split into two groups regarding location of responsible fault to earthquake shacking; (1), First group argues that Opak Fault displacement caused the earthquake. Where fault line is commonly known runs along Opak River, striking from Parangtritis Beach to Prambanan. (2) Second group of experts stated at deferent opinion, that another fault displacement triggered the earthquake shock. Where is located  at the East side of the Opak River about 10 Km. On the other-hand, this paper proposes an idea to unravel Opak Fault position by understanding, that main active fault movement underlying Bantul region has  been influencing continuum mechanical process, onto  Merapi Sediments surface since the early periods of  continuing Merapi materials sedimentation. It should has been reflected to the surface landform at above the fault strand. Further, indicates to morphotectonic feature as an en echelon slope shifted alignment. Thus, it can be the way to assist in defining attribute of main fault (PDZ) areas by using its en echelon indicator of shifting slope alignment. This paper also presents the results of determining Opak fault line location by using Digital Elevation Model (DEM-NAS) to generate custom shading in approaching landform features. With a further doing specific landscapes observations over the entire of Young Merapi deposits. There are other challenges to alternate identification of buried basin faults fill, by doing carefully identifications in morphotectonic aspects over the entire South Slope Merapi flank. It traces from Kepurun village at about elevation 400 m towards Parangtritis at 25 m of elevation. Independent field morphotectonic data sets of such scarp, terraces, water springs alignment and active cracks are encountered in the vicinity of Merapi sediments slope shifted, particularly in Tirtomartani Jetis village Kalasan. Identification of such structures obtained from morphotectonic analysis results are regarded as reliable indicator of faults, which is efficiently can be found in field.   Key word: Opak Fault, Morphotectonic, Slope Shifted, Delineation.
Engineering Geology of Diversion Tunnel Area at the Meninting Dam Construction, West Lombok, Province of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Authors: Wiyasri Yunie , Titisari Anastasia Dewi , Dita Sia Pamela , Indrawan I Gde Budi
Published: July 2022

The construction of Meninting Dam is undertaken to resolve the water needs in Meninting Watershed, West Lombok, Province of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Therefore, creating a diversion tunnel is imperative to avert the river flow as the dam project commences. Also, engineering geology work on the soil and rocks, including the classification of physical and mechanical properties were conducted in the intended tunnel site. These considerations were necessary because of the unavailability of rock identification data using the GSI (Geological Strength Index) method which used to design the portal slopes as a significant factor in tunnel safety. The results show the proposed area for diversion tunnel construction to be in the lithology of the polymict breccia and the lapilli tuff units, and the soil conditions were included in the SM category (silty sand). The level of surface rock weathering was divided into 3 units, including: highly weathered residual soil lapilli tuff, and highly, as well as moderately weathered polymict breccias. Meanwhile, 4 units were identified on the rock cores (subsurface) comprising highly weathered residual soil of lapilli tuff, and highly, moderately, and slightly weathered polymict breccias. Based on GSI (Geological Strength Index) of rock and surface data from the area of study, the rock quality was grouped as poor (GSI values: 21-40) to very poor (GSI values: 0-20). However, drilling data classified the mass quality subsurface rocks in fair (GSI values 41-55), poor (GSI values: 21-40), particularly in tunnels, and very poor (GSI values 0-20). Therefore, the rock mass quality is possibly used to design the slope of the tunnel portal as 45⁰-55⁰, in order to ensure safety.

Authors: Huda Nurul , Indrawan I Gde Budi , Wilopo Wahyu
Published: July 2022

Construction of the Lau Simeme Dam used a tunnel as a diversion channel. Slopes at the diversion tunnel portals were prone to failure due to the tunnel excavation and earthquake. Earthquake load was not considered in the designs of the inlet and outlet portal slopes. This research evaluated stability of the tunnel portal slopes under static and earthquake loads using limit equilibrium methods of the Bishop Simplified and Morgenstern-Price. Input material properties for the slope stability analyses were obtained from evaluations of soil and rock cores, including determination of lithology type and rock mass quality based on Geology Strength Index (GSI), and laboratory testing. Evaluations of soil and rock cores indicated that the inlet portal slope consisted of residual soil, good quality tuff breccia, and good quality sandstone. The outlet portal slope consisted of residual soil, poor quality sandstone, poor quality tuff breccia, fair quality sandstone, fair quality tuff breccia, and good quality tuff breccia. The earthquake load coefficient determined by the seismic analyses based on the peak ground acceleration map for 10% probability exceedance in 50 year was 0.125 g. The slope stability analyses showed that the designed inlet and outlet portal slopes were stable under static and earthquake loads. The Bishop Simplified and Morgenstern-Price resulted in relatively similar Fs values. The Fs values of the inlet and outlet portal slopes decreased with the earthquake load application. Although Fs values of the outlet slope under static and earthquake loads met the requirements specified by SNI 8460:2017, the rock mass conditions, particularly the poor rock masses of layers 2 and 3, required special attention. Application of slope reinforcement methods, such as shotcrete, is suggested to further increase the slope stability.

Published: July 2022

Wonosari city is the capital of Gunung Kidul regency of Yogyakarta Special Province. The city is located in the karst plateau overlaying a succesion of limestone lithologies. The groundwater on this city is shallow and people used this groundwater as their daily water supply. This study aims to determine the intrinsic groundwater vulnerability and to identify the TOC level in groundwater also to investigate the relationship between groundwater vulnerability and TOC levels in the groundwater. Field observation was conducted on 40 groundwater occurrences (dug wells, bore wells and springs) to investigate the aquifer types, overlying lithology and depth to groundwater. At the same time, 16 groundwater samples were taken from the dug wells and analyse for the TOC content. Secondary data was also collected from previous researches especially the information of sub-surface lithology. Groundwater vulnerability was evaluate by using GOD method and correlation between groundwater vulnerability and TOC in groundwater was analyzed spatially and statistically by using map pverlaying, linear regression and Spearman’s rho test, respectively. The results showed that the groundwater vulnerability in the city is dominated by extreme and high vulnerability, covers about 84 % of study area. The TOC level in the groundwater ranges between  4.532 mg/L to 6.849 mg/L which showing a process of pollution loading may occur. Linear regression and Spearman’s rho value show that the TOC levels and  groundwater vulnerability has a moderate positive correlation with r2 value of about 0.324 for linear regression. Despite the moderate correlation, the research prove that the groundwater vulnerability map reveals on this study is good enough to represent the ability of natural condition in protecting the groundwater quality.
Increasing Inventory Rating Factor of Steel Truss Bridge Through Orthotropic Steel Deck Panel Application

Published: July 2022

Currently, 18,648 bridges with a total length of 510,366 km have been constructed in Indonesia, but only 86% are in good condition, while the rest are damaged. Steel truss bridge damage generally occurs on the RC decks, and its repair is often implemented through deck replacement or redecking using Orthotropic Steel Deck (OSD) panel. In Indonesia, this method has only been applied limitedly at the Citarum I Bridge in 2009 and the Cisadane Bridge in 2013, while the effect on the existing steel truss bridge is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the steel truss bridge performance after OSD panel redecking through numerical modeling. The design process of the OSD panel was carried out by micro-modeling on ABAQUS CAE using shell elements with a mesh size of 50x50 mm and pinned boundary conditions. In this stage, the materials were assumed to be elastic with small deformations. The evaluation of steel truss bridge performance was performed on the A-class steel truss bridge Bina Marga design standard with a 60 m span by comparing the existing bridge inventory rating factor (using RC decks) to OSD panel redecking, which is an indicator of bridge self-weight reduction. Based on the structural macro-model developed using SAP2000, the bridge self-weight reduced the axial tension and compression forces on the steel truss bridge mainframe by 20.6%-24.6% and 20.5%-24.5%, respectively. Consequently, this increased the inventory rating factor by 9.3%-9.5%. In other words, using the OSD panels lighter than the existing RC decks increases the steel truss bridge capacity to resist the live load or vehicle rating throughout its service life.
SPT and CPT Correlation of Expansive Clay in Cikarang, Indonesia
Authors: Sudjatmiko Eddy Triyanto
Published: July 2022

Several CPT-SPT correlations have been reported worldwide to allow for the estimate of soil physical properties from one set of accessible data to another. Although most correlations are for silty and sandy soils, there is insufficient information on whether these correlations correspond to the silty clay soil conditions in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims is to validate and enhance the generalized CPT-SPT correlation, with emphasis on Indonesian soil conditions to increase its prediction accuracy. The soil under examination is silty clay layers that cover most of Northern parts of West Java – Indonesia. Known with its expansive clay characteristics, these type of soils are sensitive to volume change as a result of seasonal variations in water content. For this study, data is collected from 8 (eight) locations in Cikarang Area. Each location consists of dedicated SPT and CPT pairs tests at 2 (two) m distance between each other. After analyzed with various statistical regression analysis of data relevant to this type of soil, a simple linear empirical CPT-SPT correlation with a fairly high correlation has been established allowing test findings to be translated and predicted for the relevant soils type. The simple CPT and SPT correlation is in form of n = qc/NSPT = 0.225 (Mpa), with data distribution of n ranges from 0.15 (Mpa) to 0.33 (Mpa). This results shows much lower n values compared to various correlation have been published worldwide. With respect to the clay soil formation, the low of n-value also reflect a lower density and cohesion bonding clay properties.

Published: July 2022

When it comes to students who have special dietary needs in relation to the provision of school catering, their nutritional requirements should be taken into account. As the incidence of chronic diseases in children is on the rise, the role of school nurses in student catering is becoming ever more important. This qualitative study describes the school nursing support of students who have special dietary needs. The final targeted sample consisted of fifty-seven school nurses who were working in general education schools. Findings show that the responsibilities of these school nurses are multifaceted when they are tasked with supporting students who have special dietary needs. The participation of school nurses in terms of being able to provide advice for the provision of school catering for students who have special dietary needs tends to vary greatly in schools, and participation levels are generally low. The research revealed that the workload of school nurses is uneven across schools. The more students there are in the school, the less nutritional counselling is provided. The results point to the potential health risks which can be associated with providing unsuitable food to students. The necessary competence of a school nurse in the field of nutrition should not be underestimated.

Published: July 2022

Probiotics are live bacteria that are consumed or administered to the body to provide health advantages. They are in yoghurt and other fermented food consumer, as well as dietary supplements and cosmetics too. After birth, the mouth of the infant is richly colonized immediately. The different probiotic microorganisms present in infants are Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus albicans, Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri. Some of these can exhibit some powerful anti-inflammatory capabilities. For the novel application of probiotics in pediatric nutrition, there is a new concept in the composition of the microbiota. In probiotic food, it contains healthy microorganisms, which helps in the safe gut association with lymphoid tissue in infants. Traditionally, probiotics have been associated with gut health, and most clinical interest has been focused on their use for the prevention or treatment of gastrointestinal infections and diseases; however, during the last decade, several investigators have also suggested the use of probiotics for oral health purposes. The aim of this review is to examine the potential mechanisms of probiotic bacteria in the oral cavity and summarize the observed effects of probiotics with respect to oral health. The research focuses on probiotic lactobacilli and its genera that are most used in various probiotic products. Due to this reason, the idea of the usage of probiotics is leading the way to new therapeutic perspectives.

Published: July 2022

The persistence of poverty in semiarid regions resides, among other difficulties and limitations, in the inability to use its endogenous elements in a rational way. Thus, this article aimed to investigate the content of total phenolic compounds in the pulp and residues of quixaba fruits (Sideroxylon obtusifolium) in ethanol extracts and evaluate properties (pH, acidity and soluble solids) essential to the fermentation process with a view to developing products for school meals and also low-alcohol beverages capable of generating income for the local population from the use of an endogenous resource available in the legal reserve areas of the Palestine Settlement located in the municipality of Cravolândia, Bahia. In addition to documentary studies, the chemical characterization of quixaba fruits was carried out. An analysis of all parts of the quixaba fruit, in terms of total soluble solids content, pH and acidity, indicates potential for its agro-industrial processing. In addition, the high ° Brix indicates that the pulp has sugar levels that make it ideal for flavoring yogurts that can be offered at school lunches. The phenolic compounds present in different parts of the quixaba indicated a possible antioxidant potential. Even though the use of quixaba is currently neglected, it is possible to use it agro-industrially.

he paper describes how the sufferance of partition has stripped the attackers and the victims equally of their emotional stability. The "Khol Do" short story particularly focuses on the gendered aspect of partition violence. The story moves forward to unfold the slow detriment of human sentiments in both the perpetrator’s mind and the survivor’s too. The paper explores how the apathetic behaviour stemmed from the mad violence that traumatised or ravaged the sensibilities of the common folks. It goes on to investigate how nation-building resulted in human massacre and disrupted the emotional equilibrium of the common people of India.

Authors: Ahmad S Anas
Published: July 2022

In this paper, we analyze Judith Wright’s poem, “Bora Ring”, and Shanmugam Chettiar’s poem, “We are the Adivasis”, under the light of postcolonial theory. By using Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of “mimicry,” we showcase the plight of indigenous communities like the Aborigines of Australia and the Adivasis of India, communities that fail to identify with the neo-colonial ‘mimic-identity’ and culture have been thereby relegated as the ‘other’. The plight of both communities shows stark similarities, as is evident in the analysis of the poems.

La infancia en la narrativa de Jorge López Páez: la reformulación del tema y sus aportaciones a la literatura mexicana
Authors: Muñoz Figueroa Jorge Antonio
Published: July 2022

La narrativa de Jorge López Páez (Huatusco, 1922 –Ciudad de México, 2017) ha sido objeto de diversos estudios literarios. En varios trabajos, los críticos han destacado los temas que el escritor veracruzano exploró en su larga trayectoria, entre los que se destaca la infancia, recurrente a tal grado que los niños (e incluso los adolescentes) protagonizan seis novelas y diecinueve cuentos, cifra considerable si tenemos en cuenta que la producción literaria hasta ahora publicada de López Páez consta de veinte títulos. El objetivo de este trabajo es señalar ciertas peculiaridades de las voces narrativas en estos cuentos y novelas y, con el auxilio de algunas nociones tematológicas, resaltar la conformación de un corpus, a partir de la reformulación de un tema a lo largo de casi sesenta años. Propongo dividir dicho corpus en dos etapas: una donde prevalece el interés por restituir las vivencias infantiles mediatizadas por la mente del personaje principal, en contraste con otra donde el acto narrativo tiene más peso. Además, es relevante trazar la constante reelaboración de este tema en específico, al igual que es factible destacar las aportaciones de López Páez en la consolidación de la representación de la infancia en la literatura mexicana del siglo XX.
A Comparative Analysis on the Doses of Covaxin and Covishield Vaccines Administered in India
Authors: Bhattacharya Uma , Nain Mohit
Published: July 2022

Abstract: The world has been struggling with the outbreak of Covid- 19 virus for past 21 months. It is a severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by a highly transmissible novel coronavirus. Every country, including India adopted certain measures to combat the pandemic, like announcing lockdown in phases. India has been severely struck by the Covid pandemic. In fact, the third wave of Covid has already knocked in. The development of vaccines against the Covid virus helped the world heal. Different countries are testing the Covid vaccine candidates. The world’s largest vaccination drive started in India on January 16, 2021. The Indian Government has taken a great step forward to vaccinate every individual along with manufacturing the Covid vaccine domestically. The Government of India has also taken effective measures to launch a digital platform Aarogya Setu for the vaccine registration and obtaining the proof that the individual has been vaccinated with the name of the vaccine given and the date on which he/she got vaccinated. In this paper, we have studied the use of Covaxin and Covishield doses in different states of India and found that people who received both doses of the Covid vaccination, whether Covishield or Covaxin, are safe against the Covid virus, according to the government, but they must follow the covid protocols for best outcomes.
A Study on the Impact of Bitcoin on the Indian Economy

Published: July 2022

Abstract: The silence of the RBI on the regulatory status of bitcoins may prove to be damaging. An industry has grown around bitcoins in India- traders, exchanges and merchants who accept payments in bitcoins. Bitcoins have already gained wide acceptance around the world- hence banning them would not be an option in India. Instead, this industry would need to be regulated. The sooner this is done, the better. A bitcoin is a virtual currency first introduced in the year 2008 by an anonymous group called Satoshi Nakamoto. It’s an open source peer-to-peer cryptographical system (direct connections without an intermediary) where transactions happen through a public ledger called blockchain, handling users’ data anonymously. Eight years since its introduction, bitcoin is today the most widely used and accepted digital currency.By categorically reiterating that cryptocurrencies could not be part of the ‘payment process’, India buries the economic possibilities of crypto as a currency. However, the positive focus on blockchain technology is redeeming the bitcoin

Objectives This study explored the meaning and difficulties of the head of the daycare center due to the mandatory operation of rest time.
Methods For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted from August 20 to September 20, 2021 with 7 principles of child care centers in Seoul using the phenomenological and qualitative research method of Colaizzi (1978). Data analysis is used by the phenomenological rearch method of Colaizzi (1978) to repeatedly read the transcribed content, also grasp the overall context of the experience of operating break time, explore related experiences. therefore a collection of topics is categorized, so that can reveal this structure and finally Four thematic collections and ten constructive meanings were derived.
Results A total of 4 themes and 10 compositional meanings were derived from the meaning and grievances of child care center director’ thought about daycare center teachers' compulsory rest time operation. The meaning of the break time operation was shown to firstly secure private time for teachers, and to improve the quality of welfare of childcare teachers by recharging energy through rest. Secondly, the director of the daycare center considered it meaningful to change the positive perception of parents and the director himself that childcare teachers have a right and secure a rest time through break time operation. The difficulties in operating break time are. First, the difficulty of operating an institution that does not take into account the position of the director who is the operator of the daycare center, the director who takes notice of the daycare teachers, and the operational ability of the director between the break time system and practice due to the possibility of safety accidents for infants and young children. As a result, relationships with members were difficult. The second difficulty of the daycare center director is that he constantly handles work even during breaks, intermittent breaks time for teachers due to individual childcare for infants and toddlers, and the lack of work of assistant teachers replaced to ensure breaks for homeroom teachers. It appeared as an obligatory break time, which could be just a pleasant illusion due to the ambiguous boundary of rest.
Conclusions Through this study, the child care center principle should build a partnership that strengthens his/her ability to flexibly respond to the legal system as a manager, and the teachers and directors are more familiar with applying the break time-related system etc., should be given more benefits, and it is considered that a continuous fact-finding survey on the operation of break time is necessary.

OBGECTIVE: the assessment of admissibility of a human long-term stay in regulated normobaric hypoxic gaseous environments, increasing fire safety of habituated hermoobjects.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Men aged 25–32 (5 people) and 53 (1 person) were surveyed. Inside the test bench a gaseous environment was created with 19–18% vol. oxygen content — a continued stay room, or 17–16% vol.— periodical stay one (4 hours per day). The duration of the tests was 100 days. Once in 10 days there was the «regulation» (fast nitrogen input) of the gaseous environment with the decrease in oxygen concentration up to 15–12% vol., while the volunteers being in such conditions for 2 hours.

RESULTS: During the whole period of 100-day sealing none of the volunteers experienced signs of somatic and mental health disorders; all the volunteers completed the testing program successfully.

CONCLUSION: The results justify the admissibility of applying the technology of regulated normobaric hypoxic gaseous environments in the developed modes to increase fire safety of habituated hermoobjects, particularly in submarines.
Becoming a Man: Construction of the Somali Raganimo in Maps
Authors: Saikia Sehnaz Rofique
Published: July 2022

In gender studies, the distinction between biological sex and the social aspect of gender is of pivotal concern, and it needs to be examined not only from a feminist perspective but from masculinity studies as well. Undoubtedly, men have fared better within the patriarchal structure “in terms of the access to and the wielding of power, than have women” (Buchbinder, p. 68), but it is crucial to understand the implications of gender-based expectations on men to possess those privileges. The invisibility concerning masculinity as a gendered category has made it appear natural and coherent. In the context of masculinity as a gendered category, this paper will analyze the configuration of hegemonic masculinity or a raganimo in Nuruddin Farah’s (b. 1945) Maps. The study will reveal how the dominant masculinity insinuated by culture as natural is, in reality, a make-believe formulated by various discourses. The paper foregrounds that the shaping of masculinity in socially prescribed norms in Maps is a discursive practice instrumentalized by patriarchal Somali society to generate, circulate and exert power. The aim of this paper is not to promote the positioning of men as agents of power, but to understand the working of gender and the underpinning of power in masculinity.
