Modernization of the sacred: two Ramayana novels (a historian’s view)
Authors: Vanina E. Yu.
Published: August 2022

Ramayana, the ancient Indian epic, has been for many centuries a source of religious, social, ethical and aesthetical values for many Indians, primarily Hindus. Apart from the classical Sanskrit version attributed to Valmiki, there have been hundreds of literary, folkloric, visual, dramatic (later on film, animation and TV) variants. Their creators reworked and reconstructed the story, sometimes changing it beyond recognition, up to the emergence of ‘anti-Ramayanas’, thus answering the questions from and catering for the needs of various regional, religious, socio-cultural and political groups. Thus, they adjusted the sacred story to the perceptions of the changing times, trying to make the storyline and personages deeds more adequate to the values of a given epoch. This process has been continuing up to nowadays; the article discussing it, using as a case study two modern Ramayana novels, one in Hindi and one in English.
Buddha Amitayus and the artistic heritage of Zanabazar (1635-1723)
Authors: Syrtypova S.-Kh. D.
Published: August 2022

Images of Buddha Amitayus are recognizable by the main attribute -a vessel with the elixir of immortality placed in his palms, which rest upon his knees. The images of various versions are very often found in the Tibeto-Mongolian Buddhist regions. This is explained by the wide popularity of his cult. The Amitayus cult is one of the tantric ways to protect the life and health of the believer. Rituals aim to extend the time of life on purpose to continue the active practice of Buddhism. Among the main texts connected to the cult are the “Sukhavati-vyuha Sutra” (1st century), "Amitayus-dhyana Sutra” (4th century), and the "Longevity Sutra”. Amitayus is a power manifestation of Tathagata Buddha Amitabha, the head of the lotus family. He lives in the Pure Lands of Sukhavadi, where Amitayus stays among the bodhisattvas in the retinue of Buddha Amitabha. This factor is directly linked to the idea of a long life. The Western Paradise of Sukhavati is a place where all the material and bodily needs are readily available to live beings. The aggression and the acquisitiveness are defeated, and people are exclusively concerned with their spiritual growth. The great Mongolian artist, educator and head of state paid due attention to the cult of Amitayus, which is evidenced by the magnificent sculptures which constitute his artistic heritage. These are large sculptures of Buddha Amitayus from the Museum-Temple of the Choijin Lama in Mongolia and the Museum of the History of Buryatia in Ulan-Ude, Russia. The sculptures differ in size, technique, plastic, as well as some details. At the same time, proportions, filigree processing at all stages of production, unity of aesthetics and style remain unchanged.

Published: August 2022

Professor N.F. Katanov (1862-1922) is one of the outstanding national scholars, representatives of Russian scholarship, education and culture of the 19th-20th centuries. His life’s journey and legacy reflected important events and trends in domestic and world oriental studies and Turkic studies. Stages of his biography and a huge creative heritage are interesting and outstanding, instructive and tragic at the same time. He became the personification of two worlds in Russia - European and Asian. The biography and heritage of N.F. Katanov are of academic and especially scientific and educational, humanistic interest. His life and works should not be perceived only in the system of coordinates of the history of Russian and European oriental studies. It is necessary to take into account the broad socio-political and socio-cultural context of the development of Oriental studies, including Turkic studies, as well as Russian society and the state in the second half of the 19th - the first quarter of the 20th century.

Einführung in partielle Differentialgleichungen
Authors: Hungerbühler Norbert
Published: August 2022

Dieses Lehrbuch richtet sich an Studierende der Ingenieur- und der Naturwissenschaften im zweiten Studienjahr. Es bietet eine einfache Einführung in das facettenreiche Gebiet der partiellen Differentialgleichungen und setzt an Vorkenntnissen nur das mathematische Grundwissen der Einführungsvorlesungen in Analysis voraus. Partielle Differentialgleichungen dienen unter anderem als Modell für Zustände und Vorgänge in kontinuierlichen Medien. Sie beschreiben Potentiale und Felder und ergeben sich als notwendige Bedingungen bei Optimierungsproblemen in der Variationsrechnung. Das Buch beginnt mit der Behandlung einiger mathematischer Werkzeuge wie den Fourier-Reihen, der Fourier- und Laplace-Transformation sowie der Theorie der Distributionen und der Separationsmethode. Nach der Charakteristikenmethode zur Lösung partieller Differentialgleichungen erster Ordnung und der Klassifizierung der Gleichungen zweiter Ordnung wird anhand von Beispielen die Theorie der Wärmeleitungsgleichung und der Wellengleichung entwickelt, wobei auch a priori Aussagen über die Lösungen behandelt werden. Die Laplace- und die Poisson-Gleichung geben Anlass zur Diskussion harmonischer Funktionen und der Theorie der Greenschen Funktion. Anhand mehrerer Beispiele wird die Schwingungsgleichung besprochen. In einem weiteren Kapitel über Variationsrechnung wird der Zusammenhang mit Optimierungsproblemen hergestellt. Die Theorie wird durch ein Kapitel über die Numerik der partiellen Differentialgleichungen komplettiert. Dabei werden Differenzenverfahren und die Methode der finiten Elemente vorgestellt. Unter anderem wird auch die schnelle Fourier-Transformation besprochen. Alle Kapitel sind durch farbige Figuren illustriert, und Übungsaufgaben und Lösungen motivieren zu eigenem Forschen.
Feature selection by machine learning models to identify the public’s changing priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Mengüç Kenan , Aydin Nezir
Published: August 2022

People around the world have experienced fundamental transformations during mass events. The Industrial Revolution, World War II, and the collapse of the Berlin Wall are some of the cases that have caused radical societal changes. COVID-19 has also been a process of mass experiences regarding society. Determining the mass impact the pandemic has had on society shows that the pandemic is facilitating the transition to the so-called new normal. Istanbul is a multi-identity city where 16 million people have intensely experienced the pandemic’s impact. While determining the identities of cities in the world, one can see that different city structures provide different data sets. This study models a machine learning algorithm suitable for the data set we’ve determined for the 39 different districts of Istanbul and 82 different features of Istanbul. The aim of the study is to indicate the changing societal trends during the COVID-19 pandemic using machine learning techniques. Thus, this work contributes to the literature and real life in terms of redesigning cities for the post-COVID19 period. Another contribution of this study is that the proposed methodology provides clues on what people in cities consider important during a pandemic.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: The process of involving sustainability in the Human Resources (HR) area, which is still a major challenge to be faced, will only occur when the leadership shares the values that influence ethics at work and have a more involved relationship with all business stakeholders. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to verify the relationship between the dimensions of Spiritual Leadership, the functional and competitive dimensions of Human Resources and Organizational Sustainability. METHODS: Through the Systematic Review Method, the available literature has been categorized based on the thematic alignment of the topics. Content analysis of 49 articles included predetermined codes verifying the most recurrent dimensions of each thematic axis. RESULTS: Among the HR functional dimensions, the one represented by training and development, assumes an intermediate role between the achievement of the intended cultural management, which can be through communication and teamwork, until reaching the organizational sustainability actions, which is the main purpose of this thematic relationship. CONCLUSIONS: This article makes a unique contribution to the existing literature on spiritual leadership and sustainable human resources management as well as reveals new avenues of in-depth research focusing specifically on the relationship of the thematic axes uncovered in the study.
Scutellarin Modulates the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis and Improves Cognitive Impairment in APP/PS1 Mice

Published: August 2022

Background: Scutellarin, a flavonoid purified from the Chinese herb Erigeron breviscapus, has been reported to prevent Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by affecting Aβ assembly. Given the low brain uptake rate of scutellarin, we hypothesize that the microbiota-gut-brain axis may be a potential route by which scutellarin prevents AD. Objective: This study aimed to explore the microbiota-gut-brain mechanism by which scutellarin prevented AD. Methods: Scutellarin was administrated to APP/PS1 mouse model of AD for two months, and the behaviors, pathological changes as well as gut microbial changes in APP/PS1 mice were evaluated after scutellarin treatment. Results: This study found that scutellarin improved Aβ pathology, neuroinflammation, and cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 mice. It elucidated the effects of scutellarin on the diversity and activity of gut microbiota in APP/PS1 mice and these findings promoted us to focus on inflammation-related bacteria and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Cognitive behaviors were significantly associated with inflammatory cytokines and inflammation-related bacteria, suggesting that microbiota-gut-brain axis was involved in this model and that inflammatory pathway played a crucial role in this axis. Moreover, we observed that cAMP-PKA-CREB-HDAC3 pathway downstream of SCFAs was activated in microglia of AD and inactivated by scutellarin. Furthermore, by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, we found that the increased association between acetylated histone 3 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) promoter in AD mice was reversed by scutellarin, leading to a decreased level of IL-1β in scutellarin-treated AD mice. Conclusion: Scutellarin reverses neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment in APP/PS1 mice via beneficial regulation of gut microbiota and cAMP-PKA-CREB-HDAC3 signaling in microglia.
Effects of constraint-induced movement therapy for the lower extremity among individuals post-stroke: A randomized controlled clinical trial
Authors: Aloraini Saleh M.
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Stroke often leads to lower extremity impairments that significantly hinders functional recovery. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of constraint-induced movement therapy for the lower extremity (CIMT-LE) for improving balance and ambulation among people post-stroke. METHODS: A randomized controlled, single-blinded clinical trial was conducted. Participants were recruited and randomized into one of two groups: CIMT-LE group and control. Outcome measures were the Fugl-Meyer assessment of lower extremity, Berg balance scale, ten-meter walk test and six-minute walk test. Outcome measures were collected at baseline, following the conclusion of the therapeutic programs and after three months. RESULTS: 38 participants were enrolled in the study (19 in each group). No significant differences were found between groups at baseline. At the conclusion of therapeutic programs, both groups showed significant changes compared to baseline. However, changes seen in the CIMT-LE were clinically significant. Further, at three months following the conclusion of the program, the recorded improvements were retained by participants. CONCLUSION: A CIMT-LE program compared to an intensity-matched conventional program yielded significant clinical improvements among people post-stroke. These improvements were seen in lower extremity motor recovery, postural balance and gait speed. Furthermore, these improvements were retained three months following the conclusion of the therapeutic program.

Healing Chamber for Grafted Vegetable Seedlings in Florida
Authors: Ozores-Hampton Monica , Frasca Aline Coelho
Published: August 2022

Grafting is a horticultural technology that combines two plants, the scion and the rootsock, to create a plant with desirable features from both parts. In the United States, the use of vegetable grafting in field production remains limited, although 70% of the total hydroponic greenhouse tomato area uses grafted seedlings. Large, commercial grafting operations use controlled-environment growth chambers, but the high cost limits their use in most small-scale grafting operations. Healing chambers are an alternative solution that provides proper healing at a lower cost for growers and researchers. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Monica Ozores-Hampton and Aline Coelho Frasca, and published by the UF Department of Horticultural Sciences, October 2013.

Hydrilla leafcutter moth (unofficial common name); Parapoynx diminutalis Snellen (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Authors: Baniszewski Julie , Weeks Emma N.I. , Cuda James P.
Published: August 2022

Parapoynx diminutalis Snellen is an adventive Asian moth with an aquatic larval stage. The moth is found associated with a variety of water bodies including river backwaters, lakes, and ponds. The aquatic larvae commonly attack hydrilla and other aquatic plants. The moth was identified in 1971 in India and Pakistan during scouting trips to attempt to determine potential biological control agents for hydrilla. Despite having potential for hydrilla destruction, the moth was declared to be a generalist feeder and unsuitable for release into U.S. water bodies for hydrilla control. But the moth was later found in Florida in 1976 by United States Department of Agriculture technicians who were testing herbicides for hydrilla control. The larvae found on hydrilla were observed to be eating the invasive weed. The pathway, method, or time of the moth’s arrival remains unknown. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Julie Baniszewski, Emma N.I. Weeks, and James P. Cuda, and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, January 2014.

Protecting honey bees and other pollinators from pesticide impacts is important to the sustainability of agriculture. Consequently, pesticide applicators must determine if there is a clear hazard to managed or wild populations of bees. Potential exposure of bees to pesticides can vary greatly depending on the type of pesticide, formulation, application method, label restrictions, and other factors. The goal in using a pesticide is to achieve maximum benefit (success) with minimum negative impact, and these factors should always be considered in pesticide selection. This publication is written (1) to help assure the sustainability of both bees and agriculture by informing beekeepers, pesticide users, and the general public about the often complex relationship between pollinators (specifically bees) and pesticides, (2) to offer guidance for improved communication between beekeepers and pesticide users, (3) to offer pollinator risk-reducing strategies for growers and other applicators when using pesticides, and (4) to provide clarity in laws, labeling, and associated definitions. This 14-page fact sheet was written by J. D. Ellis, J. Klopchin, E. Buss, F. M. Fishel, W. H. Kern, C. Mannion, E. McAvoy, L. S. Osborne, M. Rogers, M. Sanford, H. Smith, P. Stansly, L.

Multiple-Use Landscapes: Reclaimed Phosphate Mined Lands
Authors: Wilson M. , Hanlon Edward A.
Published: August 2022

Phosphate mining is a temporary land use. The jobs and economic activity associated with mining depart an area once the resource is exhausted — but the landscape created as a result of mining and reclamation will exist in perpetuity. Communities affected by mining activities need to have reclamation result in lands with high potential to provide sustainable economic opportunities while maintaining ecosystem services and ecological functions. This 8-page fact sheet provides a brief overview of the landscapes being created as a result of phosphate mining and reclamation activities in Florida. Written by M. Wilson and E.A. Hanlon, and published by the UF Department of Soil and Water Science, October 2012.

LITERASI DIGITAL TENTANG VAKSIN COVID-19 DI KALANGAN GURU SMA DI INDONESIA
Authors: Wijayanto Xenia Angelica , Fitriyani Lamria Raya , Nurhajati Lestari
Published: August 2022

Various statements about Covid-19 vaccines from the government became a lot of discussion, including among teachers. Government public communication should be carried out to manage diverse polemics and public opinion. Discussions about the planning and process of vaccine administration come with different approaches, thinking skills and knowledge, especially with the increasing use of communication technology such as internet and social media. This difference in knowledge and perception can be bridged if there are parties who help socialize the benefits and importance of the COVID-19 vaccine, such as teacher, one of the gate keepers in selecting information and public dissemination. The specific purpose of this research is to get a complete picture of how digital literacy skills and teachers' perceptions of information regarding the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine. Method used are by distributing online questionnaires to high school teachers in Indonesia (DKI Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Bali, South Kalimantan and South Sulawesi) with approximately 493 samples. From the discussion, SMA/SMK teachers in Indonesia have excellent digital literacy skills related to COVID-19 Vaccine information in online media. It's just that unfortunately the ability to produce, modify and participate in organizations that produce messages related to COVID-19 Vaccine information is still relatively low.
Eyewitness Video’s Role as a Policy-Oriented Mechanism for Human Rights
Authors: Ristovska Sandra
Published: August 2022

This paper examines eyewitness video’s role as a policy-oriented mechanism for human rights by mapping out why and how human rights collectives have been aspiring to professionalize video activism. It shows how the systematic approaches to video production, standards, and training help these collectives tap more prominently into the institutional and legal environments where human rights agendas are developed, discussed, and implemented. The paper argues that the professionalization efforts result in a proxy profession that places activist and other eyewitness videos into institutional and legal service. These pragmatic policy achievements, however, may come at the expense of using video more creatively to advocate for bold programs for human rights and social change.
