Reconstructing Aboriginal History and Cultural Identity through Self Narrative: A Study of Ruby Langford’s Autobiography Don‘t Take Your Love to Town
Authors: Kumari Pariksha
Published: January 2021

The last decades of previous century has witnessed the burgeoning of life narratives lending voice to the oppressed, dispossessed, and the colonized marginalities of race, class or gender across the world. A large number of autobiographical and biographical narratives that have appeared on the literary scene have started articulating their ordeals and their struggle for survival. The Aboriginals in Australia have started candidly articulating their side of story, exposing the harassment and oppression of their people in Australia. These oppressed communities find themselves sandwiched and strangled under the mainstream politics of multiculturalism, assimilation and secularism.

The present paper seeks to analyze how life writing serves the purpose of history in celebrated Australian novelist, Aboriginal historian and social activist Ruby Langford’s autobiographical narrative, Don’t Take Your Love to Town. The Colonial historiography of Australian settlement has never accepted the fact of displacement and eviction of the Aboriginals from their land and culture. The whites systematically transplanted Anglo-Celtic culture and identity in the land of Australia which was belonged to the indigenous for centuries.  Don’t Take Your Love to Town reconstructs the debate on history of the colonial settlement and status of Aboriginals under subsequent government policies like reconciliation, assimilation and multiculturalism. The paper is an attempt to gaze the assimilation policy adopted by the state to bring the Aboriginals into the mainstream politics and society on the one hand, and the regular torture, exploitation and cultural degradation of the Aboriginals recorded in the text on the other. In this respect the paper sees how Langford encounters British history of Australian settlement and the perspectives of Australian state towards the Aboriginals. The politics of mainstream culture, religion, race and ethnicity, which is directly or indirectly responsible for the condition of the Aboriginals, is also the part of discussion in the paper.

Published: January 2021

The purpose of this work is to assess the ability to resist the leakage of digital data using criminal legal means. The authors examine the extent of the phenomenon in question in the world and in particular in the Russian Federation. Thus, the current criminal legislation and legislation on information protection of the Russian Federation does not have effective mechanisms to counteract leaks of digital information, due to the lack of an independent criminal legal qualification of this act. This circumstance, according to the authors, negatively affects the state of information protection in the Russian Federation. The international experience of countering the leakage of protected information by legal means is studied. The authors develop a terminological apparatus that should be introduced into the norms of criminal law for a clear qualification of the act. Proposals are presented to improve the current criminal legislation and legislation on information protection, which allows for more effective protection of secured digital information by legal means.

Published: January 2021

The studied period of Russian history is characterized by an increased interest in the problems of political and legal genesis that has been embodied in the reinterpretation of the provisions of well-known doctrines and concepts. Many domestic scientists addressed the problem of the origin of the state and law in the context of the theory of violence. Among them were N.M. Korkunov, G.F. Shershenevich, B.A. Kistyakovsky, F.F. Kokoshkin, I.V. Mikhailovsky, V.D. Katkov, and others. These ideas were also developed in the works of G.V. Plekhanov, V.I. Lenin, L.D. Trotsky, and I.V. Stalin. The authors of the present research have concluded that both domestic legal scholars and ideologists of the Soviet state, having analyzed the political and legal experience of past generations, actualized certain provisions of the concepts of the violent genesis of the state and law. At that, the authors emphasize that Russian scientists pointed out the imperfections of the theory under study, which did not allow talking about its universality.

Published: January 2021

Objectives: Transfusion Transmitted Infections (TTIs) are infections caused by potential pathogens which are transmitted to the blood recipients through blood transfusion. This study was primarily carried out to detect seropositivity of the markers of Hepatitis-B virus (HBV), Hepatitis-C virus (HCV), Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Syphilis in the blood donors at a tertiary care hospital in Srinagar, J&K, India over an of 4 years. Material and Methods: Blood donations over 4 years from Jan.2015 to Dec. 2018 were reviewed retrospectively from the records of blood bank for seropositivity for HBV, HCV, HIV and Syphilis. Results: A total of 31733 blood units were collected out of which 24494 (77.19%) were replacement and 7239 (22.81%) were voluntary. The seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV and Syphilis was 0.22% (72), 0.16% (52), 0.009% (3) and 0.01% (5) respectively. A decreasing trend of all the major TTIs was observed over these years. Prevalence of all the four TTIs was observed highest in replacement donors as compared to voluntary donors. Conclusion: Seroprevalence of all the TTIs was low as compared to the studies from rest of the country. Extensive donor selection and screening procedures will help in improving blood safety more. Efforts should be made to maximise voluntary donations and minimise replacement donations.

Authors: Arif Arifuddin M.
Published: January 2021

This study is oriented towards Durkheim's theoretical analysis of social theories in the context of the sociology of education. This study aims to reveal the perspective and construction of Durkheim's sociological views of education and its relevance in the current social phenomena of education. With a descriptive analysis approach through literature studies, it is concluded that the dimensions of Durkheim's social theory, with the paradigm of social facts, appear in the elements forming social cohesion or social solidarity, division of labor in society, new social implications that give rise to anomie symptoms, community development and suicide (scuidi ), religion and morality, and collective values. Durkheim recommends that social studies, including the study of education, be carried out according to empirical standards with a major focus on social facts. Durkheim has contributed to the construction of the education system with a sociological approach based on a functional structural approach and a theory of social facts, social solidarity, and morals. Durkheim emphasized educational buildings based on strengthening the values ​​of collective awareness, plus providing knowledge and skills of students to survive in life.
Objetos jurídicos, cultura material do Direito e caracterização de personagens nas Vespas de Aristófanes
Authors: Buis Emiliano
Published: January 2021

A “virada performativa” nos estudos jurídicos forneceu ferramentas teóricas interessantes para um melhor exame da prática da justiça em sociedades específicas ao longo da história. Isso é particularmente verdadeiro para o direito ateniense, levando em conta tanto sua natureza agonística e retórica quanto a preeminência do procedimento sobre as normas substantivas. Contudo, pouca atenção tem sido dada até agora aos elementos físicos concretos envolvidos na práxis do direito na Atenas clássica. Minha intenção aqui é estudar as referências de Aristófanes ao direito a partir de uma perspectiva baseada na importância dos objetos do litígio: considerando que a comédia é permeada pelo contato corporal e por experiências sensoriais, interessa-me explorar a materialidade de sujeitos e objetos, sua relação e a potencialidade do contato humano e não humano. De um modo geral, essas demonstrações físicas cômicas sugerem na representação das Vespas que um estudo das ações expressivas sobre as coisas pode contribuir para uma compreensão mais abrangente da dinâmica subjetiva dos dispositivos judiciários atenienses.

Published: January 2021

For the last two decades, a rapid eutrophication process impacts Lake Titicaca, the largest tropical freshwater lake in South America and the main highest Great Lake. This is especially notorious in the Bolivian sector of its shallow Lago Menor sub-basin. Lago Menor is deteriorated by the combination of multiple contaminations (domestic, industrial and mining) from untreated wastewater discharged from the urban area of El Alto, indiscriminate overfishing, and climate change. These threats particularly affect the native Andean killifish genus Orestias, the ecology and dynamics of which require in-depth studies with non-invasive techniques.

Due process of law in Russian Federation Law: Perception and Core issues
Authors: Thang Mai Van
Published: January 2021

Abstract: This article explains the reasons for the lack of popularity of the term "due process of law" in the Russian current legal system. Nevertheless, all fundamental aspects of this principle included perception, core issues, and requirements that have been shown in a relatively complete and comprehensive way under another name with various levels, forms of expression, and its compliance. By Russia's case study, the author affirms that due process of law is necessary not only in the procedure proceedings that take place before the judicial decisions are made but also in the implementation of decisions and judgments given by courts and other entities. Above all, due process of law would maximize its efficiency when it is nourished in the right ecosystem.

Skin ageing is due to the combination of natural, largely genetically programmed and environmentally modulated changes which occur in the body system due to free radical damage. Silver Nanoparticle (AgNPs), were prepared by chemical reduction using green synthesis and they were evaluated for particle size in nanometer, zeta potential in millivolt, surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and percent entrapment efficiency. The polyphenols were quantified by chromatographic techniques and the antioxidant activity measured spectrophotometrically by DPPH (2,2 Diphenyl 1 picrylhydrazyl) assay. According to this study AgNPs showed a least particle size of 145.4±2.4nm, maximum zeta potential of -39.1±2.4 mV with desired polydispersity index of 0.358±0.02, the amount of polyphenols loaded in AgNPs was found to be 87.23±2.54%. Maximum phenolic content was found in F1 as 65.21 ± 3.721 mg equivalent GAE/g of extract. On comparing the IC50  values, F1 and F5 exhibited the lowest and highest values respectively. Therefore, F1 possesses higher DPPH radical scavenging potential.

During brain tumour resection a lot of noxious stimuli are released resulting in a significant hemodynamic and stress response, its control is challenging during anaesthesia, and can be evaluated by monitoring blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) Attenuating autonomic cardiovascular responses to pain resulting from skull pinning, skin incision, and craniotomy are considered significant benefits of Regional Scalp Block (RSB) in addition to reducing postoperative analgesic requirements. This study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative regional scalp block (RSB) versus intraoperative intravenous fentanyl for attenuating intraoperative surgical stress response to supratentorial craniotomy in adult patients under general anaesthesia. The study included 30 patients randomly distributed into two equal groups with 15 patients in each, Group A: Preoperative RSB was done after induction of general anaesthesia and before skull pinning, Group C: Control group: patients were given conventional intraoperative analgesia in the form of intravenous fentanyl with no block. This study included patients with Supratentorial brain tumours were admitted to Zagazig University Hospitals. Patients have been gathered over two years duration from march 2018 to march 2020. The results showed that there were highly significant differences between RSB group and control group. Preoperative RSB showed advantages over Standard analgesia in terms of better attenuation of stress response to pain in the form of heart rate and blood pressure intraoperatively, decrease opioid consumption, lower Visual Analogue Score (VAS), Preoperative RSB can be performed easily in a short time with very high success rate allowing better intraoperative control of haemodynamics, less postoperative pain. We recommend using preoperative RSB in supratentorial craniotomy as a gold standard in our hospital to get the advantages mentioned above.

Published: January 2021

The prevalence of superficial Mycotic infection worldwide is 20–25%. Medication non-adherence in patients leads to worsening of the disease, death and increased health care costs. More than 30% of medicine-related hospital admissions occur due to medication non-adherence. The aim of the study is assessing the factors associated with medication adherence in patients with dermatophytosis. Data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis of 305 patients attending the dermatology department. The period of study was three months. Medication adherence was determined using Morisky Green Levine Scale for dermatophytosis patients who are undergoing treatment. KAP (knowledge, attitude, practice) was used to determine the knowledge gaps, general health practice, and beliefs of the patient towards fungal infection. It was found that 47.86% of the subjects in the study are non- adherent and 49.50% are moderate adherents, and only 2.62% are highly adherent to medications prescribed. In KAP study, it was found that (14.4%) strongly agree that fungal infection does not create hindrance in normal life, while (28.85%) strongly disagree. Practice where analyzed in 305 subjects, (52.13%) share clothing with family members or friends, (50.16%) do not take medication as prescribed. The patient affected with fungal infections had poor adherence to the medicines prescribed. The risk factors affecting medication adherence are poor hygiene, sharing of cloths of friends or family, dosing schedule, complex regimens, access barriers, and cost of the drug. Patient education, in the early stages of fungal infection, can avoid non- adherence.

Authors: Nandu Baby P  , Ramesh V
Published: January 2021

Haemophilia is a chronic bleeding illness that causes several difficulties in the patient's daily life in various aspects. Inhibitor development is presently the most important treatment complication observed in patients with hemophilia. Treatment modalities of Haemophilia A with either plasma or recombinant FVIII regimes results in the development of inhibitors and the risk of complications in patients. Hence, newer treatment strategies involving innovative hemostatic therapy are warranted for better management of hemophilia patients. The aim and objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of Chromolena odorata mediated hemostasis in patients with hemophilia A inhibitors. It was a cohort study constituting 147 clinically diagnosed hemophilic A patients. All the patients underwent treatment with FVIII A regimes (specific or multiple). The severity of hemophilia and clotting time was assessed by standard FVIII and aPTT assays, respectively. Modified Bethesda assay method was used to detect FVIII inhibitors. The hemostatic capacity of Chromolena odorata  was evaluated by pooling the patient’s plasma with Chromolena extract concentrate. Younger age group (15-30) were more prevalent (56.4%) among hemophilia pathogenesis. Hemarthrosis was the significant co-morbidity observed in 58.5% of patients. Majority of the patients (72.7%) were diagnosed with severe hemophilia A. We identified 10 clinically evident patients to possess inhibitors for FVIII. Evaluation of Chromolena odorata  hemostatic potential showed the improvement of clotting capacity with optimal concentrations of extract in patients with inhibitors. The findings of the study revealed the hemostatic properties of Chromolena odorata that can be recommended in the treatment strategies of Haemophilia patients.

Metode Schroder merupakan metode iterasi berode dua yang digunakan untuk menentukan akar-akar persamaan nonlinear. Artikel ini membahas modifikasi metode Schroder untuk meningkatkan orde konvergensi. Metode Schroder dengan satu parameter real dikembangkan menggunakan ekspansi deret Taylor orde dua. Metode Schroder yang dimodifikasi masih memuat turunan kedua. Selanjutnya, turunan kedua tersebut direduksi menggunakan kesamaan dua metode iterasi. Berdasarkan hasil kajian, metode iterasi baru mempunyai orde konvergensi empat yang melibatkan tiga evaluasi fungsi dengan indeks efisiensi sebesar  untuk b = ½. Simulasi numerik diberikan untuk menguji performa metode iterasi baru yang meliputi jumlah iterasi, orde konvergensi secara komputasi (COC), galat mutlak dan galat relatif. Nilai-nilai performa dari metode iterasi baru dibandingkan dengan metode Newton, metode Schroder, metode Chebyshev dan metode Halley. Hasil simulasi numerik menunjukkan bahwa performa metode iterasi baru lebih baik dibandingkan dengan metode iterasi lainnya.

Published: January 2021

Salah satu kecamatan di Pamekasan adalah Kecamatan Batumarmar (Mitra), pada Kecamatan Batumarmar terdapat 3 desa yang merupakan desa kekeringan yaitu bujur timur, bujur barat dan bujur tengah. Ketiga desa tersebut sangat kekurangan air, contohnya pada saat mandi masyarakat yang berada di 3 desa tersebut mandi di sungai yang jaraknya kurang lebih 1 kilometer. Untuk mandi saja membutuhkan perjalanan yang melelahkan. Masyarakat ini juga mencuci pakaian atau ternaknya di sungai ini. Bahkan untuk kebutuhan minum saja ketiga desa tersebut membeli dengan trek tangki ukuran besar sehingga bisa menimbun air yang cukup panjang. Tujuan Tim PKM mengatasi kekeringan dengan menggunakan sistem sanitasi, biopori dan hidroponik untuk menimbun air. Dengan adanya sistem ini diharapkan bisa membantu permasalahan diatas. Sistem ini bisa memaksimalkan penimbunan air bahkan dengan menggunakan hidroponik pakan ternak bisa tumbuh dengan lebat. Hasil yang didapat dalam pengabdian ini adalah perubahan pola pemikiran masyarakat untuk menimbun air serta ketersediaan air didalam tanah melimpah.

Social identity formation (SIF) has rarely been addressed, either through analytic methods or on through sociologically and social-psychologically mixed-methods design at multiple levels. In the Iranian context, SIF, especially among youths, is devoid of any theoretical and functional models capable of explaining the effects which have been hypothesized of social system’s SIF functional deficiency. A sample of 445 students from the University of Tehran was selected in the period of 2016-2018, based on a random stratified sampling method. The participants undertook a validated questionnaire (i.e., content and construct validity) measures through expert judgment and PFA, delivered on a tablet. The reliability was r=0.88. A parametric one-sample Student’s t-test and a Friedman test were employed in the analysis which suggested a functional model for SIF. The analysis also supported both the major and minor hypotheses predicting direct effects of Iranian social system’s functional deficiency on reducing the level of their SIF in relation to their social system. Theoretically, the findings suggested an applied model for SIF in a mutually-implicated interaction process with social system along with specific measurement criteria. The model, which has seven parameters, is the product of a social system’s functional requirements, and seems to be influential in SIF formation by social system and can provide insights for social researchers and planners.

The advent of the digital economy and new technologies requires new human competencies, including specifically, inter-disciplinary competencies. The current education system is organized around subjects and more relevant inter-disciplinary training requires new organizational and methodological foundations. There is a need to develop functional literacy, which implies the ability of the individual to adapt and continuously develop in a dynamic and complex world, to initiate, and to implement innovations using knowledge from different industries. The aim of this research was to develop and implement a system of organizational and methodological tools for inter-disciplinary learning as a means of developing functional literacy of children and adolescents in general education organizations within Russia to help them adapt successfully to the digital economy. The research used analysis of modern theoretical and methodological approaches and practices to the organization of inter-disciplinary training in educational organizations, from observation, focus groups and experiments. Part of that functional literacy is the concept of mathematical literacy. In addition to developing cross-subject tasks, mathematical literacy was analyzed through mathematical content and mental activity. The article describes the authors' experience in developing cross-subject tasks to develop research competence, motivation for knowledge and personal development, and mathematical literacy of students in grades 5-9 (similar to the PISA-2021 research model). It then describes the methodology and foundations for creating competence-oriented cross-subject tasks and the development of functional literacy. These are added to specific, proven tools for improving the effectiveness of inter-disciplinary learning. This creates an environment and conditions for the development of a person who can think creatively using the competencies of the inter-disciplinary complex. The article will be of interest to a wide audience of specialists in the field of educational policy and practice.
