Il ruolo del microbiota intestinale nella modulazione immunitaria
Authors: Leardini Davide , Muratore Edoardo , Zama Daniele , Prete Arcangelo , Pession Andrea , Masetti Riccardo
Published: November 2022

The intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in numerous physiological and pathological processes of the developmental age. The development of new investigation methods, such as next generation sequencing, has allowed a more precise characterization of the intestinal microbiota. This allowed us to deepen the complex relationship between the microbial flora and our organism. One of the many functions that emerged is the ability to modulate the host's immune system. The transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells represents a privileged setting for studying this interaction since, after the procedure, we witness the immune reconstruction starting from the donor precursors. The gut microbiota influences the development of major infectious and immune-mediated complications of transplantation and has a significant impact on patient survival. These evidences underline the possible therapeutic implications of the modulation of the intestinal microbiota. An in-depth study of the relationship between the immune system and microbiotic flora could allow us to better understand the role of the latter in other infectious or immune-mediated diseases.

The challenge of comorbid diseases and especially their management. Posing greater challenge are phytomedical approach without proper scientific testing and more also paucity of modern equipment for research and funding. The need to authenticate medicinal herbs used in the management of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as one of the common metabolic diseases becomes imperative. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of acute and chronic administration of hot water extract of P. americana on some metabolic parameters in diabetic rats. Thirty young adult healthy male albino rats (wistar strain) weighing between 205-251 g were made diabetic by administration of 80 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ). The animals were divided into two equal groups of 15 rats each, singly placed in metabolic cages for the acute and chronic treatments studies. The rats were further divided into three groups of 5 animals each and treated with different concentrations of stem-bark hot water extract of Persea americana (HWE-PA) and distilled water while the body weight, food intake, faecal output, water intake and urine output were measured and recorded daily for a period of 5 days for the acute and 28 days for the chronic treatments. Results showed a higher percentage change in body weights, higher food intake and faecal output and lower values in water intake and urine output in both acute and chronic administration of HWE-PA to STZ-induced hyperglycaemic rats compared to the control groups. Both acute and chronic administration of Hot water extract of the stem-bark animals extracts of Persea americana (HWE-PA) presented antidiabetic activity STZ-induced hyperglycaemic rats as evident its ameliorating effect on the body weight, food intake, faecal output, water intake and urine output in STZ-induced hyperglycaemic rats, thus supports its phytomedicine use as an antidiabetic agent.

O Inquietante Freudiano em "A amiga Genial", de Elena Ferrante
Authors: Viegas Gonçalves Ailla Rakel , Martins Lobato Andrea Teresa
Published: November 2022

A Amiga Genial (2015) é o primeiro romance da tetralogia napolitana, série de romances contemporâneos escritos por Elena Ferrante, autora italiana que conquistou a crítica internacional. Este artigo pretende analisar as implicações da multiplicidade e fragmentação da identidade como retratado em A Amiga Genial (2015), de Elena Ferrante, a partir da teoria e do conceito de “inquietante” proposto por Freud (1919). Também usamos da literatura de Agamben (2009) e Gagnebin (2014). Usamos da teoria do psicanalista Freud para conduzir um olhar diferente sobre a amizade complexa e convoluta entre Lenu e Lila, amizade esta que é a base do romance de Ferrante.
Memorias del agua en Camiña (Tarapacá, norte de Chile): andinidades, defensas ancestrales y retóricas de colonialidad
Authors: Urrutia Francisca , Uribe Mauricio
Published: November 2022

Este trabajo se centra en las prácticas de memoria según tiempos y espacios heterogéneos que son articulados a partir de contextos históricos y contingentes. Específicamente, se relevan las diferentes trayectorias locales en torno a luchas concretas llevadas a cabo por las comunidades andinas en el territorio de Camiña. Nuestra exposición intenta alejarse de las posturas tajantes y dicotómicas en aras de desnaturalizar categorías, desestabilizar jerarquías y descentrar paradigmas. En cambio, proponemos un análisis desde la miríada de procesos internos que muestran la variabilidad y la mutabilidad en los ensamblados de andinidad en el contexto neoliberal del Chile contemporáneo.
Experiencias de mujeres en la arqueología y la Universidad de Chile (1960-1980): aprendizajes y desafíos actuales
Authors: Brinck Adriana , Dávila Cristian , Fuenzalida Nicole , Moya Francisca
Published: November 2022

Si bien los estudios de género y pensamiento feminista han tenido un importante impacto en la arqueología mundial y en las ciencias sociales en general, esto no se ha visto reflejado en las investigaciones arqueológicas chilenas ni en la propia historiografía de la disciplina. Basado en lo anterior, en este trabajo presentamos los resultados de seis entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a cinco mujeres y un hombre que fueron estudiantes de arqueología durante la etapa de institucionalización de la carrera en la Universidad de Chile (década de 1960). A partir de las entrevistas buscamos visibilizar la participación de las mujeres en la historia de la disciplina, reflexionar en torno al por qué de la ausencia de estos enfoques y discutirlo desde una perspectiva actual. Los resultados evidencian la ausencia de una idea de violencia de género en las personas entrevistadas, un alto impacto personal e institucional a partir del Golpe de Estado de 1973 y la posterior dictadura y una visión crítica acerca del desarrollo actual de la disciplina.

Published: November 2022

El hallazgo fortuito de restos humanos asociados a una ex oficina salitrera en el norte de Chile requirió el desarrollo de un plan de trabajo interdisciplinario para su tratamiento y disposición final. Este artículo explicita los criterios de intervención empleados para la conservación, el análisis bioantropológico y, finalmente, el reentierro de cada individuo identificado. Un objetivo central de este proyecto fue el tratamiento ético y la conservación de los restos humanos en actividades de impacto ambiental, lo cual constituye una propuesta innovadora en el contexto local. A través de este proceso, fue posible identificar la inexistencia de protocolos a nivel nacional que orienten el tratamiento técnico de los restos bioantropológicos, previo a su reentierro. Esto refleja la necesidad de desarrollar nuevos estándares más alineados con los valores culturales y expectativas de las comunidades.

Published: November 2022

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders among children. In this time the role of the family can be important because some negative behaviors of children diagnose ad ADHD can affect their relationship with parents. Aim of study: the goals of this article are to investigate parents of children with ADHD how much they have stress and which type of parenting style they used for their parenting. Method: 50 parents of children with ADHD and 50 parents of healthy children participated in this investigation. Conner’s parents rating scale, Robinson parenting style questionnaire, and parenting stress index were used as instruments. Result: as expected, parents of children with ADHD show higher stress level than parents of normal children. Also, they use a more permissive or authoritarian parenting style. As a suggestion, clinicians should be careful about the stress parents of children with ADHD may experience and psycho-education given to the parents is important.

Introduction: One of the most important risk factors in workplace is noise pollution and it affects the quality of human life. Especially these effects on the hospital environment are more impressive because these workplaces should be calm. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of noise exposure and fasting on saliva cortisol levels at two hospitals staff. Method: This study included 75 participants of two hospital worker.A calibrated noise level meter (Cel- 231, UK) was used to measurement noise levels in two hospitals parts. Also, Saliva cortisol levels assessed in two different situations: fasting and feeding. Descriptive statistics, paired sample t-test and regression analysis were used as statistical tools of this study with P<0.05. Results: our result showed that sound pressure levels (mean ± SD) in Amiralmomenei hospital and Abozar hospital were 75.3±6 and 76.9±5, respectively. Salivary cortisol levels in samples with normal feeding and fasting showed significant difference (P<0.05).Also, comparison between salivary cortisol levels in without noise exposure and noise exposure in fasting time showed significant difference (P<0.05). Salivary cortisol levels in workers in two hospitals were different (P<0.05). C

Authors: Hannan M. Obaidullah , Roy Anup Kumar , Hasnin S. M.
Published: November 2022

A comparative study has been conducted on the constituents of sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo) wood to find out the effect of causal agent of massive mortality. Ten ideal pieces of affected and four pieces of sound wood were collected from different plantations. The sawdust of both sound and affected wood was freed from extractives with alcohol benzene mixture in a soxhlet apparatus. Cellulose and hemicellulose were determined by treatment of 10% sodium hydroxide, acetic acid and ethyl alcohol, and lignin by 72% sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid mixture. Distinct variations were found among the constituents of sound and affected sissoo wood. Hemicellulose and lignin content of affected wood were found 5.5 and 7.5% lower than those of sound wood respectively. The causal agent of massive mortality brought about these differences on account of the degradation and decomposition of lignin and hemicellulose.
SAFER URBAN ENVIRONMENT: A CASE OF DHAKA’S TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC
Authors: Mowla Qazi Azizul , Khaleda Syeda
Published: November 2022

The paper focuses on briefly examining the transportation and traffic situation in Dhaka with reference to the stresses it causes to the urban dwellers. In Dhaka, the tendency to regard traffic to that of fast vehicular, ignoring other modes led to the neglect of those groups in the settlement who either preferred those other modes or of necessity had to use them as the case with pedal rickshaws and boats. This phenomenon coupled with mismanagement in the traffic system, is identified as the pivotal factor effecting the safety of Dhaka’s urban environment. Urban environmental quality is dictated by the types and location of transportation facilities and distribution of density of land uses to control the pollution levels. In this paper, an attempt has been made to co-relate physiological and psychological stresses caused on the urban dwellers due to the traffic congestion. It is suggested that a balanced and judicious policy regarding traditional and modern modes of transportation is likely to keep the environmental quality within acceptable limits.

The Complex Art of Murder
Authors: McGregor Rafe
Published: November 2022

This article demonstrates the literary value of hardboiled detective fiction. I consider two different arguments for literary value, one based on Martin Heidegger's philosophy of art and the other on the tradition of form-content inseparability in literary aesthetics and literary criticism. The former is reliant on the genre's combination of formal complexity with substantive superficiality and the latter on the combination of formal complexity with substantive complexity. I employ Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep (1939) and Nelson DeMille's Plum Island (1997) as examples, focusing on the question of whether they have thematic content. I demonstrate that the novels instantiate substantive themes—about corruption, alienation, and moral amnesia—in consequence of which the argument for form-content inseparability is more compelling. I conclude by suggesting that form-content inseparability underpins both the literary value of hardboiled detective fiction and the genre's capacity for aesthetic education.
Fantasy and Adult Development
Authors: Langer Arthur M.
Published: November 2022

As new digital technologies, consumer demand, and social issues such as COVID-19 render workplaces increasingly data-centric, employers will require culturally and technologically adept workers who can utilize creativity in every stage of the production process. To prepare students for this demand, institutions of higher education must establish flexible programs that provide professional or technical curricula combined with a liberal arts education that fosters students’ abilities to build imaginations beyond conventionally accepted norms. The capacity for creative fantasy intersects with cognitive maturity and higher-order thinking and thus can be measured using models of adult development. Schools should develop knowledge platforms that can first assess a student's maturity stage and then design a personalized liberal and professional education plan that maximizes their creative abilities. This article therefore engages adult development theory to map possible trajectories toward students’ constructive use of innovative fantasy and to address ways educational institutions can reorient their approaches.
Turnspits and Other Malenky Machines: Laziness and Cowardice in Burgess's A Clockwork Orange
Authors: Frauen Jan-Boje
Published: November 2022

This article argues that the first-person narrator and antihero of Anthony Burgess's famous dystopia is far from being the symbol for human freedom he has traditionally been taken to be. Quite the opposite, he is to be seen as a symbol for human “self-imposed nonage” at every point of the novel: from his alleged rebellion to his farewell to rape and aggression in the final chapter. All of his apparent acts of freedom are determined by the dynamic interplay of biological disposition and political exploitation. Burgess's theory of freedom, however, is more sophisticated than Alex's “turnspit freedom.” It is displayed in two minor characters, F. Alexander and the prison chaplain, modelled on Burgess and his cousin the Catholic Archbishop George Dwyer, respectively, who display “political awareness” that leads to decisions based on informed judgment.

The Constitution and the role of Islam in Libya from independence to the fall of Moammar Gaddafi: origins and perspectives

ABSTRACT: This study aims to retrace Libya's constitutional path from Independence, obtained in December 1951, up to the "post-Gaddafi" era, which began with his fall in October 2011 and where the agreement on a new Constitution is still today - after more than ten years - one of the thorniest issues in the construction of a real Libyan State. Particular emphasis will be given to the religious aspect that has characterized the Constitutional Charter of Libya in its short national history and to the religious challenges faced in the different historical phases. The study will be divided into three parts. The first one will try to frame the constitutional discourse in the new independent Libya under the monarchy of King Idris al-Senussi. In the second part, will be addressed to the drastic changes that occurred with Moammar Gaddafi's rise to power. Finally, in the last part will try to draw a picture of what the situation is today and to understand what are actually the obstacles that are holding back an agreement between the rival factions (East and West) on a shared Constitution.

The Attorney’s contribution for the purposes of Processus brevior

ABSTRACT: This paper concerns the centrality of the attorney in the Processus brevior. Because the Processus brevior’s particular structure compresses the ordinary canonical resources granted by the Legislator to the subjects involved in a matrimonial trial, the attorney becomes its principal director. In particular, the Libellus in a Processus brevior is not a canvas as in the ordinary process but becomes a script binding all parties intending to go ahead with this special canonical instrument until the desired sentence declaring the nullity of marriage.
Biological spectrum of Chandur forest in Hooghly district, West Bengal
Authors: Malik Suvamoy , Bhattacharya Archan , Mukherjee Ambarish 
Published: November 2022

The biological spectrum of Chandur, a tropical dry deciduous forest of Arambagh range under Howrah Forest Division, West Bengal, reveals that per hundred species of its flora no less than 46.20 are phanerophytes, 20 chamaephytes, 8.97 hemicryptophytes, 4.83 cryptophytes and 20 therophytes. These involve 143 species of angiosperms and one species each of pteridophyte and angiosperm. The phanero-chamaephytic phytoclimate with dominance of phanerophytes indicates adequate protective measures in vogue while the relatively higher value of chamaephytes reflects the care taken to maintain their existence from adverse factors like grazing and trampling. The decline in the number of hemicryptophytes is a matter of concern given the role they play in eco-restoration, particularly in preventing soil-erosion.

Authors: Maphalala Mncedisi Christian , Mncube Dumsani Wilfred , Mkhasibe Rachel Gugu
Published: November 2022

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 revolutionised the education sector across the world and forced schools to embrace online learning. Schools had to scramble for alternatives to face-to-face learning to curb the spread of COVID-19 while ensuring that learning was not disrupted. With the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic cropping up at the beginning of the 2021 academic year and a growing number of teachers contracting the virus, schools were forced to close temporarily or adjust learning models to continue with remote teaching and learning. This required schools to deal with the challenges of infrastructure and a shortage of teachers, as well as provide learners with access to technology and reliable internet connections that would allow them to study remotely and prepare teachers for online pedagogies. To this end, this study explored secondary teachers’ experiences with the transition to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and their readiness to embrace online learning as the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the entire globe. The study was underpinned by the technology acceptance model and adopted a qualitative research design, generating data from 10 teachers using focus group discussions. An inductive thematic framework was used during the data analysis segment. The study found that schools encountered a variety of digital complexities to overcome, such as digital literacy and online teaching capabilities, multimodal learning, postlockdown teaching and educational leadership and appropriate learning management systems.
Validity of BRADeR Learning Model Development: An Innovative Learning Model to Improve Science Literacy Skills for Junior High School Students
Authors: Simamora Aprido B. , Sanjaya I Gusti Made , Widodo Wahono
Published: November 2022

The results of the preliminary study show that the scientific literacy ability in 4 SMP Negeri Pematangsiantar is still relatively low. Since science study habits are still traditional and minimize the significance of being able to read science as a competency that students must acquire, there is a tendency for the learning process to not aid students in developing their scientific literacy skills. Due to this, the BRADeR learning model was developed using innovation, taking into account the benefits and drawbacks of the inquiry and SETS models as well as supporting theoretical and empirical research. This study serves to determine the validity of the BRADeR learning model that has been developed. The method of collecting validity data uses the focus group discussion (FGD) method. The validity of the BRADeR learning model was assessed based on content validity and construct validity. The BRADeR learning model was established and is in the very valid category, according to the validity results from experts in the field of science education (IPA). The BRADeR learning paradigm can be used to enhance high school students' science literacy abilities.

Major approaches and clinical findings of cataract surgery using the femtosecond laser: a systematic review
Authors: Murad Ana Cristyna Saad , Daher Isabelle Dalloul , Neiva Eneidia Batista , Moura Malú Inês Perez , Ferrari Rafaella Scalabrini , Liedtke Fernanda Soubhia
Published: November 2022

Introduction: In the scenario of eye problems, cataract is a disease characterized by the opacification of the lens, which leads to a decrease in visual acuity, due to a change in the refractive index. A cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide and surgery for its correction is the most performed surgical procedure in the world, with an estimated 19 million surgeries per year. The Femtosecond laser was approved for ophthalmic surgery in 2000, having been recently developed to integrate cataract surgery. Objective: It was to highlight the main clinical and scientific considerations related to the application of the Femtosecond laser in cataract surgery, highlighting its efficacy and safety to the conventional phacoemulsification technique. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from August to October 2022 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases, using articles from the last 15 years. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 229 articles were found, of which only 55 were part of this systematic review, after an eligibility analysis. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery appears to be beneficial in some patient groups, ie those with low baseline endothelial cell counts, or those planning to receive multifocal intraocular lenses. However, considering that the advantages of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery may not be clear in all routine cases, it cannot be considered cost-effective. The adoption of the Femtosecond laser in cataract surgery has divided opinions as it results from the adaptation of a technology already used in other areas to a surgical procedure that, at the time, was already successful.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Issues related to endodontic treatment are intrinsically linked to the prevention and total control of pulp and periapical infections. The presence of microorganisms is not limited to the endodontic but is also present in the periradicular regions, characterized by an apical biofilm that is strongly adhered to the surface. In this context of decontamination of root and periapical canals, ozone has been highlighted as an important sanitizer. Objective: To demonstrate the main experimental and clinical findings of the use of ozone therapy alone and in association with conventional treatments as an antiseptic in the treatment of root canals. Methods: The research was carried out from May 2021 to June 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: There is moderate evidence to provide important preliminary information about ozone therapy. As for reducing the microbial load for patients undergoing root canal treatment, ozone therapy has inferior results when compared to conventional chemomechanical techniques using NaOCl. The joint action of these treatments proved to be quite effective. Conclusion: Ozone therapy is proving to be a useful new treatment modality that offers great benefits to patients. The strong antimicrobial power of ozone, together with its ability to stimulate the circulatory system and modulate the immune response, makes it a corrective agent of choice in the treatment of various oral infectious diseases. More research is needed to help with its reproducibility, its use should be indicated by the dentist in clinical practice.

This article investigates the application of neural network models to create automated control systems for industrial processes. We reviewed and analysed works on dispatch control and evaluation of equipment operating modes, and the use of artificial neural networks to solve problems of this type. It is shown that the main requirements for identification models are the accuracy of estimation and ease of algorithm implementation. It is shown that artificial neural networks meet the requirements for accuracy of classification problems, ease of execution and speed. We considered the structures of neural networks that can be used to recognize the modes of operation of technological equipment. Application of the model and structure of networks with radial basis functions and multilayer perceptrons for the tasks of identifying the mode of operation of equipment under given conditions is substantiated. The input conditions for the construction of neural network models of two types with a given three-layer structure are offered. The results of training neural models on the model of a multilayer perceptron and a network with radial basis functions are presented. The estimation and comparative analysis of models depending on model parameters is made. It is shown that networks with radial basis functions offer greater accuracy in solving identification problems. The structural scheme of the automated process control system with mode identification on the basis of artificial neural networks is offered.

The simulation algorithm imitated the distribution obtained from the ev-idence-based fit. The outcomes of a sensitivity investigation are also prepared to verify the suggestion. This risk analysis technique has a computer digital implementation. The simulation data outputs plainly demonstrate the alternative of the general norm of validation and the acceptance of the solution which is not harmful to the environment. In situations of uncertainty, the decision to select the optimistic flavor with high spending (to retain the reliableness of the technics) but less risk pretends to be a decisive factor in the eco-friendly protection strategies of the construction project.

Climate change has become a pitfall towards economic growth, sustainable development, and ecological balance, not different in Bangladesh. This study investigates the relationship between ecological footprint and globalization of Bangladesh in the 1980-2021. Results of Auto-regressive distributed lag mdel (ARDL) bound test confirms long-run relationship among carbon footprint, ecological footprint, globalization, and other control variables. Long-run and short elasticity confirm globalization, population density, energy consumption along political and economic globalization stimulates ecological footprint. On the other hand, economic growth is a culprit of ecological footprint. It reflects alternative signs with an ecological footprint. On carbon footprint, results are similar to ecological footprint except for energy consumption. As ecological footprint increases, people consume more energy in the short run while less energy in long run. Laws enforced in the last or previous decades regarding environmental issues need more strictness and acceptability to utilize energy through advanced technology and robust inflows from the foreign sector.

Authors: Gouvêa de Matos Mariana
Published: November 2022

O objetivo do presente artigo é discutir as problemáticas referentes aos períodos de licença maternidade e paternidade no Brasil diante das demandas de constituição subjetiva do bebê apontando para a licença parental como estratégia de suporte social e promoção de saúde da família. Para isso, discutiu-se, a partir de revisão de literatura não sistemática, os estágios de dependência emocional propostos por Winnicott, bem como a paternidade participativa e as diretrizes do Ministério da Saúde sobre aleitamento materno, que estão em dissonância com o período de licença concedido às mães brasileiras. Por 昀椀m, discutiu-se a implementação da licença parental como medida de promoção de saúde apontando para a importância da aprovação do Projeto de Lei 1974/21 que tramita na Câmara e versa sobre a instituição da licença parental no Brasil.
A importância do movimento na construção dos processos de simbolização do bebê
Authors: Milman Cervo Gisele
Published: November 2022

O presente artigo disserta sobre a importância da corporeidade do bebê na construção da simbolização e na ampliação da sua vida psíquica. O trabalho está embasado no referencial psicanalítico, em especial nas noções de movimento (Konicheckis, 2015) e de simbolização primária (Roussillon, 2013, 2019). Para ilustrar tal perspectiva teórica, será explanado um fragmento de observação de bebê, realizado a partir do método Esther Bick. Esta observação coloca em cena a relevância das sensações e do movimento para que o bebê se sinta em contato consigo e com o mundo e organize suas experiências psíquicas. Entende-se que um olhar atento a esses processos primários permite ampliar a compreensão sobre a construção de um senso de si, bem como lança luz para a riqueza do que está em formação na primeira infância.

Design and Parametric Analysis of a Triple Band Waxing Crescent Moon Shaped Slotted Microstrip Patch Antenna for 5G Wireless Communications
Authors: Yadav Anupam Kumar
Published: November 2022

In this article author designs a new and compact patch antenna with the dimensions 40x21x1 mm3 on substrate called FR4 with a dielectric constant of 4.4, sandwiched between a patch and a copper ground plane. Microstrip feedline is used to link the Moon-shaped antenna to the coaxial cable connection and the antenna's impedance is matched. slotted antenna has been found to resonate between the frequency bands of 23.67-24.82 GHz,25.46 -26.44GHz and 26.77-27.92 GHz at resonant frequency of 24.32 GHz ,25.91GHz and 27.36 GHz respectively. at all the resonant frequencies of 24.32 GHz ,25.91GHz and 27.36 GHz, VSWR of the proposed antenna is same with the value 1.06 dB. Microstrip feeding technique is used to create this microstrip patch design. This patch is being researched because it has a low VSWR at all the three resonant frequencies with high bandwidth. This design is suitable for triple band operations for wireless communication in the range of 5G frequency bands. By adopting an appropriate feeding mechanism and use of proper cutting slots in the rectangular patch, frequency band width can be increased. The electromagnetic simulation of the proposed antenna has been done using CST software. The analysis of performance will be based on changing the geometry of the patch and the obtained results are gain, VSWR, antenna efficiency and radiation pattern. After parametric analysis it is observed that this design is perfectly suitable for 5G wireless applications. KEYWORDS: Moon shape, Patch antenna, gain, 5G.
THE IN-VITRO ANTIMICROBIAL EFFICACY OF FOUR METHANOL AND HEXANE EXTRACTED HERBAL CONCOCTIONS AGAINST Pseudomonas aeruginosa AND Bacillus Subtilis BACTERIA
Authors: Munkhondya Mercy
Published: November 2022

Antimicrobial activities of hexane- and methanol-extracted concoctions of Kigelia Africana (root, bark, and fruit), Carica papaya leaves, Zingiber officinale (ginger) rhizomes and Jateorhiza palmitate (Calumba) root (usually used as herbal medicines by many people from different parts of the world) were examined against two species of pathogenic microorganisms: Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Bacillus Subtilis using sensitivity testing of streaked cultures on Petri dishes. All concoctions from all four herbal plants showed antimicrobial activities, especially the methanol-extracted concoctions against the tested microorganisms. Phytochemical screening of the samples revealed the presence of some bioactive components like alkaloids, saponins, tannins, anthraquinones, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and terpenes. These phytochemical properties determine the anti-microbial potential of the herbal extracts.

Rice is one of the agricultural species that consumes a lot of water. In countries with cold climates such as Chile, a 200 mm high sheet of water is used to cope with night temperatures below 10 °C. This practice consumes 18,000 m3 ha-1 of water per season. Climate change is currently a major problem, where the reduction in precipitation can exceed 40%. Under this context, the current rice production system is unsustainable. The objective of the research seeks to evaluate five rice varieties with different lengths of the productive cycle, under two water management strategies (intermittent vs. traditional irrigation), evaluating the yield components of rice varieties. The trial was conducted in the Mediterranean climate of South-Central Chile, zone is characterized by low temperatures. The traditional commercial variety used was Zafiro (Oryza sativa sp. japonica), which showed good yields under flood irrigation conditions with 8,100 and 7,300 kg/ha for both seasons, respectively. However, under intermittent irrigation conditions, it showed a drastic yield reduction of 94 and 42% for both seasons, respectively. While the short-cycle variety MA042, showed yields of 12,663 and 11,063 kg/ha under flood irrigation strategy for both seasons, while under AWD system it showed only 34 and 4% reduction, respectively. The use of short cycle varieties, which require less water and are more tolerant to low temperatures, represent a productive option for rice farmers in cold climates, where water resources are an increasingly scarce commodity.

Fusarium wilt is a major constraint in amaranth production in Africa; the disease can lead to total crop failure. However, few studies have identified Fusarium species associated with amaranth diseases in Ghana. The study was conducted to identify Fusarium species causing wilt in amaranth in the Semi-deciduous and Guinea Savannah

Agro-ecological zones of Ghana and determine variations in isolates. Using standard laboratory procedures, fungal pathogens were isolated and culture characteristics studied. Variations in virulence were determined using root dip method. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region of isolates was carried out for species identfication. Based on morphological features complemented by sequence analysis; Fusarium equiseti, F. oxysporum, F. solani and F. proliferatum were identified. Fusarium equiseti was the dominant species appearing in 82% of isolates. All the isolates were pathogenic. Based on virulence level, 9% of the isolates were classified as very highly virulent whilst 56% were weakly virulent. Genetically, isolates clustered into four groups irrespective of origin. The work identified and classified Fusarium species causing amaranth wilt in Ghana.
