Faced with the impact of extreme climate, countries have proposed carbon dioxide emission reductions, hoping to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and Taiwan’s industries must also face the transformation of low-carbon green energy. Light-emitting diode (LED) is a cost effective semiconductor device that produces light within a narrow bandwidth of wavelength through electroluminescence. Recently, LED technology has attention to apply in the area of food production, preservation, and safety. At present, some researches have been demonstrated that the antimicrobial LED visible light is less anti-microbial efficacy than ultraviolet (UV) light. However, the antimicrobial LED visible light has been recognized as an alternative technology to UV light since it is an environmentally friendly and safe technology for human and animals. For this reason, LED technology has recently received attention for applying in many test fields as laboratory, pig farms, computer, bio-medical industries etc. In this study, this novel clean and disinfect tool-novel environment-cleaned LED devices were tested in the various fields and obtained the positive results as the application of novel environment-cleaned LED devices on anti-fungal efficacy, and ethylene, PM2.5, and harmful gas degradations in laboratory, anti-bacterial and virus efficacy in laboratory and/or pig farms, anti-microbial notebook panel development, and anti-colorectal cancer in vitro. In the future, we wish this novel environment-cleaned LED devices will friendly used in human and animal environments to decrease the harmful matters in the environments.

Published: June 2022

Oral mucoadhesive mouth paint preparation was designed and prepared for the treatment of oral candidiasis, where prolonged drug release at the infected area is essential. Fluconazole, a recent triazole derivative having antifungal activity is chosen as the desired drug in this study to formulate mucoadhesive mouth paint. Oral candidiasis is a common infection in debilated patients, AIDS patients and in persons who administer immunosuppressive drugs. Mouth paints containing 1% fluconazole with hydrophilic polymer HPMC was prepared and compared with mouth paint prepared without the addition of hydrophilic polymer. The prepared mouth paint formulation was subjected to various evaluation parameters like pH determination, drug content, rheological behavior, mucoadhesive studies, spreadability and IR spectral analysis. In vitro drug release studies were carried out at salivary pH 6.4 using cellophane membrane as barrier. Stability studies were carried out at different temperature conditions like ambient temp (R. T.), 8 ± 1oC, 45 ± 2oC at 75% ± 5% R. H. (accelerated temperature) 3 months and analyzed at different time intervals for drug content, physical appearance, pH, mucoadhesive strength and spreadability and the prepared formulation was found to be stable. Antimicrobial studies were carried out to ascertain the antifungal activity of prepared mucoadhesive formulation against the pure drug. The test organism Candida albicans was a clinical isolate obtained from a diseased patient suffering from oral Candidiasis. In vitro antifungal activity was evaluated using standard Agar cup-plate method by zone inhibitions studies. Formulations, containing HPMC showed good zone inhibition. In vivo oral mucosal skin irritancy tests were carried out using mucoadhesive formulation on lab experimental animals (Rabbits and Guinea-pigs) and on healthy human volunteers. No edema, erythema, inflammation or redness in the mucosal cavity of both animals and human volunteers were observed.

Published: June 2022

The stabilization capability of kaolin clay powder (KCP), Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and rice husk ash (RHA) was scrutinized using laboratory scrutiny. This was meant at assessing the effect of KCP, OPC and RHA on the stabilization of three lateritic soils for use as sub-base pavement layer materials. Three soils (Soil A, B and C) were improved with various percentages (via weight of dry soil) at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% for all stabilizing agents and compacted via BSL (British Standard light) energy. Their impacts were assessed on the strength physiognomies such as UCS (unconfined compressive strength), OMC (optimum moisture content), and California bearing ratio (CBR), and MDD (maximum dry density tests based on ASTM (American Standard Testing Materials) codes. The result reveals that MDD improved with increase in the quantities of all the additive (SSA, KCP and geopolymer) content, while OMC for KCP reduces from 18.65% at 0% to 14.02%. Both SSA and geopolymer increase from 18.65% at 0% to 18.86% and 22.20% at 10%. Similarly it displays highest CBR of the soil from 10.88% at 0% to 12.84%, 112.95% and 144.45% for (SSA, KCP and geopolymer, this specify that lateritic soil treated with 2% stabilizer yielded CBR values of more than 405%.

UNFREEZING 'THE TRANSNISTRIA CONFLICT' FROM THE LENS OF REGIONAL SECURITY COMPLEX THEORY
Authors:   Cyprus International University, Ababakr Amer
Published: June 2022

Transnistrian is a frozen geopolitical conflict extends back to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the formation of an independent Moldovan state. However, there has been little real movement toward a long-term conflict resolution until recently. The aim of this study is to find out why, despite the efforts of the European Union, the Transnistrian conflict remains inactive and there is no clear prospect for resolving it. To answer this question, the integrated theory of regional security by Buzan and Weaver has been used. The results of this study show that Transnistria is part of a regional security complex under Russian influence, and its intersection with the security complex designed in the Eastern Partnership plan does not allow the EU to resolve the conflict. The difference in the power structures in the two complexes has an effect on the failure of this process. The matrix of regional security complexes in this area is centralized with sub-branches of superior power and superior institutions, and this has added to the complexity of conflict resolution.

Escucha furtiva e investigación: reflexiones sobre la escucha del trauma
Authors: Agudelo Hernández Juan Ángel
Published: June 2022

Si bien hay acuerdos sobre la existencia de efectos anímicos derivados del trabajo con personas que han vivido experiencias traumáticas, la aproximación predominante y consolidada por las ciencias Psi considera la escucha del trauma como un espacio de contagio sintomático donde pareciese no haber sujetos. Así, desde una perspectiva psicoanalítica y usando diversos ejemplos de la literatura, este ensayo compone un abordaje alternativo para entender lo que está en juego en la escucha del trauma, enfatizando en el rol del oyente como un sujeto implicado, quien debe gestionar su posición ante las pérdidas y ausencias incrustadas en la experiencia de las y los testimoniantes.
Gilmer Mesa’s La cuadra as Narco Decameron
Authors: Pobutsky Aldona Bialowas
Published: June 2022

Gilmer Mesa’s novel La cuadra (2016) constitutes a painful “insider” testimony into how working-class Medellín neighborhoods were transformed into breeding grounds for hitmen in the 1980s. The narrator’s older brother joined the gang of the infamous Prisco brothers, who served as lieutenants in Pablo Escobar’s armies of sicarios. It is his brief life and that of other teenage cuadra friends that inhabit Mesa’s violent narrative universe. This essay compares Mesa’s novel to Bocaccio’s The Decameron in that both texts present an intricate mosaic of a society in-the-making and un-making. Transitions to a new historical reality punctuate both texts, wherein La cuadra shocks both the readers and its very protagonists when teenage horseplay turns to rape and murder. Likewise, the Black Plague in The Decameron, the narrative frame for its one hundred tales, is replaced with a narco epidemic which contaminates and corrupts neighborhoods, families, and individuals alike, putting their morality and allegiances to test.
La “Niña-niña”: expresividad y legibilidad de la violencia machista en Los divinos de Laura Restrepo
Authors: Celis Salgado Nadia V.
Published: June 2022

Los divinos ofrece un cuadro excepcional para evaluar el lugar de las niñas en el discurso escrito sobre los cuerpos femeninos por la violencia machista. Restrepo recurre al arquetipo del “monstruo,” que contrasta con el de la “Niña- niña,” para exponer las violencias intrínsecas a la sociedad que idealiza la masculinidad dominante. Refuta así la singularidad atribuida al feminicidio de Yuliana Samboní, que convierte en un espejo de la cultura de la violencia en Colombia. Su sacralización de la “Niña-niña” revela asimismo los límites que impone la mitificación de la inocencia a la defensa de los derechos de las mujeres.

La espera como situación de crisis: liminalidad de ex guerrilleros de las FARC en Urabá
Authors: Álvarez Santiago , Torres Palacio Pedro Pablo
Published: June 2022

En este artículo nos preguntaremos sobre el sentido de una particular situación de espera sobrellevada por ex miembros de las FARC en un campamento transitorio. Los ex combatientes han dejado las armas, pero no han podido integrarse plenamente en la sociedad colombiana. Esta situación será analizada como de equilibrio inestable. Este trabajo parte de una etnografía realizada en el área Urabá – Bajo Atrato, en el norte de la República de Colombia. La investigación fue realizada en el marco del proceso de paz entre el Gobierno colombiano y las FARC–EP. Se hace especial referencia a la situación de los ex guerrilleros afincados en un campamento ideado como provisorio, pero que la persistencia de esa realidad lo va transformando en permanente. Esta “espera que se eterniza” es una verdadera “situación de crisis” aún no resuelta. Atrapados en un limbo los ex guerrilleros no pueden reintegrarse completamente a la vida civil colombiana.
Muerte presunta: el derecho de los familiares de los desaparecidos en El Salvador
Authors: Oviedo Guevara Liseth Guadalupe , Estrada Albeño Cristina del Carmen
Published: June 2022

Los desaparecidos en El Salvador son noticia de cada día en el país. Sin embargo, se invisibiliza la gravedad del problema para los familiares. La desensibilización se suma al dolor de la búsqueda sin resultados óptimos, como la falta de acompañamiento por las instituciones, incluso la falta de cobertura periodística; además deben realizarse diligencias de carácter judicial para tener un respaldo de la situación de desaparecimiento de su familiar. En adición a que, en casi la totalidad de los casos, los familiares deben hacerse cargo de las obligaciones económicas que asumía la persona desaparecida. Debe considerarse la preocupación que, sin haber llorado el luto respectivo, los familiares deben tomar la dura decisión de declarar como fallecido a su familiar, y recurrir a los juzgados para realizar dichas diligencias. Es entonces, cuando la muerte presunta se convierte en la solución ante la falta de documentación que respalde la muerte natural por desaparición.

Published: June 2022

Objective: To assess the effects of order of resistance training (RT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on functional capacity, blood pressure, and body composition in middle-aged and older women. Methods: Twenty-two participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: RT followed by HIIT (RT-HIIT, n = 10, mean age 64.5 ± 7.9 years) or HIIT followed by RT (HIIT-RT, n = 10, mean age 59.32 ± 4.44 years). Both groups trained twice a week for 8 weeks. RT was composed of 7 exercises for the upper and lower body. HIIT was composed of alternate pairings of high-intensity (> 85% of maximum heart rate [MHR]) and moderate-intensity (60% MHR) running. Results: A time effect was found for upper-body muscle endurance (HIIT-RT = +9.43%; RT-HIIT = +6.16%), agility and dynamic balance (HIIT-RT = -5.96%; RT-HIIT = -8.57%), and cardiorespiratory fitness (HIIT-RT = +5.14%; RT-HIIT = +6.13%), with no difference between groups. Body composition and blood pressure did not change throughout the investigation for either group. Conclusion: Eight weeks of a combined HIIT and RT exercise program improved functional capacity of middle-aged and older women without altering blood pressure and body composition, regardless of the order of exercises.

Prototyping a controlled robotic arm with digital image processing to detect smartphone screen edges
Authors: Seiffert Walter
Published: June 2022

This paper presents the prototyping of a robotic arm, which makes use of a camera to aid in its computer vision to determine the movements that it can perform, and use the data obtained to send them to the control and decision layer. The computer vision applied to the prototype is based on detecting the edges of the smartphone screen and the colors of the icons presented in pre-established positions by the Android system. The combination of digital image processing algorithms made the robotic arm more efficient in relation to the positioning of the gripper and the touch pen, causing a decrease in the computational cost of processing and eventual energy consumption.

A avaliação de desempenho usualmente se dá a partir da utilização de indicadores de resultado e constitui instrumento essencial na busca de qualificação das decisões por parte dos gestores, bem como orienta a política de investimentos e potenciais investidores. Com objetivo de avaliar o desempenho econômico-financeiro de empresas industriais simuladas de capital aberto, este estudo vale-se de uma abordagem quali-quantitativa, preliminarmente a partir da seleção de indicadores de performance que orientam análises horizontais e verticais. A pesquisa apresenta-se como descritiva, valendo-se de base conceitual na definição de um modelo de referência para o alcance do objetivo proposto. Desta forma, os resultados sugerem que empresas que controlam seus indicadores financeiros por meio de uma política “mais coerente” de gestão de seus ativos, obtêm maior rentabilidade e, por conseguinte, permanecem mais atrativas.

Authors: Maciel Marcos , Pons Claudia
Published: June 2022

En un contexto de negocios globalizado donde la completitud de la información se obtiene al componer varias partes, resolver problemas se convierte en una tarea que involucra tiempo, análisis y experiencia. Una organización ve limitado su ámbito de acción porque necesita información de terceros para evaluar en forma íntegra y completa una colección de datos. Para superar estos problemas se propone implementar un motor de reglas capaz de interactuar mediante reglas con servicios usando Json como mensajería de intercambio de datos. El modelo propuesto mejora la capacidad de conocimiento al compartir información entre sistemas heterogéneos usando los estándares de la comunidad para resolver problemas complejos.

Published: June 2022

Process intensification based on micro reactor technology allows safe manner and a new pathway to run organic synthesis due to its intrinsic characteristics, and can reduce time-to-market of new drugs. The main objective of this work was to study the batch and flow reaction of five n-substituted 5-benzylidenethiazolidine-2,4-dione heterocyclic intermediates present in the synthesis of glitazone class drugs, in capillary micro reactor. Batch process was conducted with ethanol as solvent at the boiling point and pyrrolidine as promoting base of the reaction. Higher yields were obtained in shorter reaction times in temperatures above solvent boiling point. Also, we evaluated that 3.8 micro reactors in parallel would be necessary to reach the same mean molar flow rate of a 60 mL batch reactor. Kinetic and thermodynamic study indicated that the reaction followed the second-order model and allowed estimating its main thermodynamic parameters. The continuous flow micro reactor proved to be an efficient alternative to the batch process in scaling up the production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient intermediates (APIs).

Work-related stress is harmful physical and emotional reactions that can occur when there is a conflict between an employee’s work needs and his or her level of control to meet those demands. Work-related stress can come from multiple causes, however, when stress occurs in unmanageable amounts for the nurse, mental and physical changes may occur. Resilience gives people the mental toughness to deal with stress, trauma, adversity, and difficulties. The study aimed to explore the level of work-related stress among mental health care nurses and their resilience capacity at Eradah & Mental Health Complex–Eradah Services (EMHC-ES) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional research design was utilized taking the responses of 172 nurses. The questionnaire encompassed the Mental Health Professional Stress Scale (MHPSS) 42 items assessed on a four-point Likert scale and the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) 10-items assessed on a 5-point Likert scale. The results revealed a satisfactorily high level of resilience (M = 30.7 on a scale of 0-40) and a moderate level of stress among the participants (M = 1.86 on a scale of 0 to 3) with the mean subscale score was the highest for the workload associated stress and the lowest for the homework conflict-related stress. There was a near to significant correlation between the stress level and the resilience among the participants (p = .053). An appropriate strategy in health care organizations to assess stress, explore causes, and provide early management in mental health care settings is highly recommended.
The New Covenant at Qumran
Authors: Hauw Andreas
Published: June 2022

This paper discusses what the community at Qumran thought about a new covenant. It covers three manuscripts (Temple Scrolls [11Q19], The Rule of the Community [1QS, 4Q255-264a, 5Q11, 5Q13] and The Damascus Document [4Q266-273, 5Q12, 6Q15]) because they use the phrase “new covenant” and present ideas about this covenant. The proper contexts of the three aforementioned manuscripts, and the phrase “new covenant” found in the OT only once(Jer.31:31), including their theological, political and social values are discussed. In addition, the emphasis on the concept of covenant in each manuscript and how it relates them to each other is explained. This paper concludes that the Qumran community reinterpreted the concept of covenant in a new way influenced by the theological, political and social issues of its time.

Abstract
This paper describes shortly a revival movement in Nias island. In the early part of the 20th century, a remarkable movement of the Holy Spirit took place on the small island of Nias, off the northeast coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. Its main mark was the turning of many thousands to the Lord and causing the church to go into deep repentance. Therefore, the movement has been called fangesa dodo, the great repentance. In this paper, first under consideration, will be the people and the land, then the background of the church in Nias, some precedents of Revival, and finally the course of revival movements. All studies in this paper are written in order to gain an understanding and an appreciation of how the Holy Spirit has been working in the stream of human life.
The Linguistic Dilemma in Namibia’s Zambezi Region: Is the dominance of the Silozi language a curse or a blessing? Zambezi Region: Is the dominance of the Silozi language a curse or a blessing
Authors:   Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Namibia, Harris C

The geographically isolated Zambezi Region, formerly known as the Caprivi Region/Strip is the land of contrasts with a history unique to Namibia. In this part of the country, people are geographically, socially, culturally and linguistically different fromthe rest of Namibia. The Region is home to about eight (8) languages and language groups, viz Subia, Yeyi, Fwe, Totela, Mbukushu, Barakwena, Mbalangweand the region’s lingua franca, Silozi. Despite their Bantu provenance and classification, the languagesof the Zambezi Region are somehow different to those of a similar nature in mainland Namibia, and are much closer to those of nearby Zambia and Botswana. The Silozi language is the most dominant in the Region and exclusively used in most domains of local governance at the expense of other indigenous languages of the Region. Technically, it can also be argued that Silozi is not a Namibian language, but rather that of neighbouring Zambia where it is spoken as a first language by close to a million people. How Silozi became part of Namibia’s eight (8) nationally recognised languages is largely historical and political and this was discussed in this paper. The frequent political tension in the region is often exacerbated by linguistic differences. It is this linguistic and political differences which are partially blamed for the formation of the secessionist movement called the Caprivi Liberation Army which launched a short lived insurrection against the Namibian state in the region in August of 2009. It is fromthis premise that the paper intended to investigate how and why Silozi became the dominant language mostly used in the region and how this impacts the development of other indigenous languages
