Authors: BhavitaMalvi  , Prasanth.R.Krishnan
Published: July 2020

Hyperlipidaemia is ametabolic disorder and its prevalence worldwide is a biggest health issue in 21st century. This is more due to the life style in current era. Hyperlipidaemia is disorder with a fundamental cause that Hahnemann has mentioned as miasm.There is high prevalence of hyperlipidaemia in urban slum population in North India. According to prodigy guidance for hyperlipidaemia in UK shows there is high chance of hyperlipidaemia in diabetics and prevalence ratio is 10.3% and prevalence of hyperlipidaemia based on BMI study is more in female than in males. Appreciable prevalence of obesity, hyperlipidaemia, substantial increase in body fat (generalized and regional obesity) in middle age particularly in female need immediate attention in terms of prevalence of this disorder.Hyperlipidaemia and its prevalence worldwide is biggest health issue in 21st century. This is the metabolic disorder which is more due to life style in current era. Hyperlipidaemia is a disease syndrome with multiple causative factors that includes genetic, lifestyle and stress. In today’s world most deaths are attributed to non-communicable diseases and over half of these are the result of cardiovascular diseases, heart disease and stroke are the first and second cause of death in developed countries. WHO has drawn attention to the fact that coronary heart disease is our modern epidemic.Herewe want to give deep insight to the cases of hyperlipidaemia and want to emphasize more over miasmaticdyscrasia, which is a crucial part of homoeopathic treatment and helps in permanent restoration of health and prevent the complications like coronary heart disease, cardiovascular accident, uncontrolled hypertension, aortic stenosis, stricture, etc.

Oxidative stress during insulin resistance in prediabetes : a review on role of antioxidants
Authors: Mohsina Hyder  , Raja D  , Visakh Varma  , Ponnusankar S
Published: July 2020

Oxidative stress is one of the major causal factors behind insulin resistance during prediabetes. It can impair insulin signalling by triggering stress activated signaling pathways and can also directly oxidize and damage the proteins of these pathways. Although cells have impressive stock of antioxidant enzymes and minor antioxidant moieties, these agents may not be adequate to maintain the redox balance during oxidative stress. The important functional antioxidant vitamins for tissue protection from excess free radicals comprises vitamin C, E and A. Vitamin C can improve insulin resistance by altering endothelial function and reducing oxidative stress. Vitamin E is an excellent trap for peroxyl radicals which suppresses ROS production in the pancreas, preserves pancreatic β cell function and maintains structural integrity of pancreatic islet cells. Vitamin A prevents tissue oxidative damage as well as exhibits a regenerative role in the pancreas. Like vitamins, minerals play a crucial role during oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Zinc is crucial for insulin actions and carbohydrate metabolism. Chromium activates insulin receptors through the oligopeptidechromudulin, which occurs in the insulin sensitive cells that binds to the insulin receptor, thereby increasing insulin signal transduction and sensitivity. Selenium up regulates glutathione peroxidase activity can inhibit NF-kappa B activation. The risk of diabetes and its complications will be more with elevating oxidative stress. Interventions with these antioxidants have proven beneficial role in reducing oxidative stress which can be utilized for reduction of insulin resistance in prediabetes.

Authors: Omotayo Funmilola , Folorunso Matthew B.
Published: July 2020

This study investigated use of social media for political participation among youths in Oyo state, Nigeria; specifically, the types of social media used for political participation, the types of political activities social media are used for, as well as factors influencing use of the media for political participation. Survey research design was adopted for the study. Data was collected through questionnaire from 322 youths in three Nigerian universities. Findings reveal that social media was highly used by the youths for political participation. Facebook (98.8%) was found to be the most used, followed by Whatsapp (93.8%), Instagram (60.2%), Twitter (55.3%), and Yahoo Messenger (50.9%) respectively. Majorly, the youths used social media to participate in political advocacy (95.3%), political campaigns (91.9%), communicating with politicians (90.7%), political discussions (87.3%), monitoring and reporting electoral malpractices (85.1%), public consultations (80.4%), joining interest groups that engage in lobbying (64.9%), blogging about political issues (64.9%), and writing letters to public officials (51.2%). Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norms, and computer self-efficacy significantly influence use of social media for political participation, which suggests that these factors could be considered when promoting use of social media for political participation among youths. Given the growing popularity and penetration of social media and the way they influence peoples’ lives, the empirical findings of this study add to understanding how and why social media use will function in motivating citizens to be involved in political activities.
The Economic Analysis of Law in Pakistan
Authors: Siddique Omer
Published: July 2020

One of the most important functions of law is to assign rights
and liabilities in such a way that disputes do not arise. The failure to
prevent disputes in a society indicates that the structure of the law is
inefficient. Since the focus of law and economics is on efficiency (see
Box 1) and how people respond to incentives, one way to carry out the
economic analysis of the law is to use the framework of market
capitalism. Driven by the idea of the invisible hand, the fundamental
point of capitalism is that individuals should be able to use their
capital freely, without the state’s interference. It implies that
individuals’ legal ability to move capital should be frictionless.

The number of adolescents in the Purwokerto area is the third highest in the Central Java Province. Adolescence is very closely related to the puberty period which is accompanied by sexual development. This condition makes adolescents are prone to various forms of behavioral problems, such as having sex before marriage and drug abuse, both of which can carry risks to HIV / AIDS transmission. It is very important to instill good morale in the younger generation through youth organizations, such as youth organizations and counseling information centers. However, teenage health problems were found, especially in the area of Linggasari Youth Center and the “Gibita” Information Counseling Center/ Pusat Informasi Konseling (PIK) such as lack of understanding of HIV / AIDS, the dangers of smoking, and adolescent reproductive health. To overcome this problem, we trained Adolescent Counselors. Classroom learning, problem based solving, participatory learning, role play were used in this project. The result revealed that this activity enhances the understanding of knowledge and skills of new counselors on adolescent health problems. In addition, we also produced modules and film (roleplay and educational videos) of adolescent health problems counseling.
Intergenerational homesharing programmes
Authors: Costa Giuliana
Published: July 2020

Homesharing programmes bring two or more individuals who are not linked by family bonds to live under the same roof, sharing domestic spaces and daily living activities. Intergenerational cohabitation programmes match an elderly homeowner (or a person with a rental agreement) who needs companionship and some help with a younger one who is looking for affordable accommodation. This article provides an overview of intergenerational homesharing by tracing their arrangements and salient characteristics, besides explaining the typological variety observed. Based on fieldwork carried out mainly by interviewing homesharing programme managers and policymakers over the period 2015-2019, this paper casts light on several dimensions that characterize homesharing programmes as an arrangement potentially capable of relieving loneliness and social isolation issues in old age, and of generating preventive and light forms of care. The study analyses the main critical aspects of homesharing as well as some of their evolution and transformation dynamics in recent years.
O Jornalismo Ficcional da Franquia Transmedia de Harry Potter
Authors: Gruszynski Sanseverino Gabriela
Published: July 2020

O jornalismo é parte intrínseca da franquia transmedia Harry Potter em suas múltiplas plataformas, pois as narrativas de ficção precisam de meios de comunicação próprios dos seus universos para explicar a sua lógica, suas práticas e suas instituições (Jenkins, 2009b). Este artigo busca olhar, a partir de números concretos, como este jornalismo se constrói dentro da narrativa de Rowling. Por meio da análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2006), categorizamos as aparições do jornalismo nos sete livros, os oito filmes e a história interativa e a seção Daily Prophet do antigo site Pottermore. Através dos dados gerados por esta categorização, buscamos pensar o que estes números indicam quanto a integração do jornalismo na história de Harry Potter transmedia, assinalando a presença inerente da profissão e dos jornalistas no universo de Rowling. Entende-se que o jornalismo se estabelece como um elemento articulador da narrativa, que integra lógicas de composição e mimetiza parte dos processos da profissão. O jornalismo se torna uma forma de entrar na realidade do mundo mágico – a função mediadora da profissão é trazida para a ficção como uma forma de acesso ao universo transmedia de Harry Potter.
The efficacy of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback for psychiatric illness: A meta-analysis of brain and behavioral outcomes
Authors: Dudek Emily , Dodell-Feder David
Published: July 2020

Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (rtfMRI-NF) has gained popularity as an experimental treatment for a variety of psychiatric illnesses. However, there has yet to be a quantitative review regarding its efficacy. Here, we present the first meta-analysis of rtfMRI-NF for psychiatric disorders, addressing its impact on brain and behavioral outcomes. Our literature review identified 17 studies and 105 effect sizes across brain and behavioral outcomes. We find that rtfMRI-NF produces a medium-sized effect on neural activity during training (g=.59, 95% CI [.44, .75], p<.0001), a large effect after training when no neurofeedback is provided (g=.84, 95% CI [.37, 1.31], p=.005), and trivial-to-small-sized effects for behavioral outcomes (symptoms g=.37, 95% CI [.16, .58], p=.002; cognition g=.23, 95% CI [-.33, .78], p=.288). Mixed-effects analyses revealed few moderators. Together, these data suggest a positive impact of rtfMRI-NF on brain and behavioral outcomes, although more research is needed to determine how rtfMRI-NF works, for whom, and under what circumstances.
Right-Wing Authoritarians Aren't Very Funny: RWA, Personality, and Creative Humor Production
Authors: Silvia Paul , Christensen Alexander P. , Cotter Katherine N.
Published: July 2020

Right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) has well-known links with humor appreciation, such as enjoying jokes that target deviant groups, but less is known about RWA and creative humor production—coming up with funny ideas oneself. A sample of 186 young adults completed a measure of RWA, the HEXACO-100, and 3 humor production tasks that involved writing funny cartoon captions, creating humorous definitions for quirky concepts, and completing joke stems with punchlines. The humor responses were scored by 8 raters and analyzed with many-facet Rasch models. Latent variable models found that RWA had a large, significant effect on humor production (β = -.47 [-.65, -.30], p < .001): responses created by people high in RWA were rated as much less funny. RWA’s negative effect on humor was smaller but still significant (β = -.25 [-.49, -.01], p = .044) after controlling for Openness to Experience (β = .39 [.20, .59], p < .001) and Conscientiousness (β = -.21 [-.41, -.02], p = .029). Taken together, the findings suggest that people high in RWA just aren’t very funny.
Conflict, Chaos, and the Art of Institutional Design
Authors: Ganz Scott
Published: July 2020

The metaphor of the organization as a garbage can is often invoked as a playful insult. However, as was recognized early on by management theorists studying garbage can ideas, the unpredictability arising from garbage can decision making has the potential to be adaptively rational for organizations facing complex task environments. The chaos produced by intraorganizational goal conflict and fluid participation in collective decision making can aid in search by enabling firms to escape local performance peaks or competency traps. The decades-old hypothesis that conflict and chaos could promote adaptively rational search, however, has largely been overlooked in research on organizational design. This paper uses an agent-based model to evaluate these competing views and, in the process, identify conditions under which garbage can decision making is indeed adaptively rational. In particular, I explore the conditions under which preference conflict and fluid participation in decision making promote effective search in an uncertain task environment. I show that the biased and chaotic outcomes that emerge as a result of garbage can decision making---the very features of garbage cans that lead them to be perceived to be dysfunctional---can facilitate short-term exploitation and long-term exploration of uncertain technical landscapes when organizations engage in serial judgment of local alternatives and internal conflict over desired outcomes is not too extreme. I conclude that decision making routines that encourage chaotic conflict are robust to bounded rationality and complex task uncertainty and thus should be included in the organizational designer's portfolio.

Tectonic-structural analysis of deposits in sediments of contact between sedimentary cover and basement
Authors: Milei E. S. , Bembel S. R.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the geological structure of a complex oil reservoir located in the southeastern part of the Pannonian basin. The concept of the hydrocarbon traps formation is based on the connection with the deep processes of oil and gas formation and phenomena, which lead to the formation of cracks, faults, local positive structures in the interval from the foundation to the upper part of the sedimentary cover. The article shows the significance of deep faults in the basement during the formation of sedimentary cover structures. These processes result in a wide range of oil and gas potential of the Pannonian basin deposits. In studying the specifics of tectonic movements and the features of gravitational deposits (conglobreccia), a tectono-sedimentary approach has been developed that can reduce a number of methodological difficulties in creating geological models and concepts. Recommendations are given on the additional study of adjacent structures in order to detect hydrocarbon deposits on the slopes with protrusions of the crystalline basement. Characteristic features of the geological structure are the local volume of the identified oil and gas deposits, small foci of increased productivity and improved filtration properties of reservoirs. Such features of the uneven distribution of sites of different productivity have a significant impact on the success of prospecting and exploration, the effectiveness of development of oil and gas deposits.
Oceans and Landless Farms: Linking Southern and Northern Shadow Places of Industrial Livestock (1954-1975)
Authors: Haalboom Floor
Published: July 2020

This article argues for more extensive attention by environmental historians to the role of agriculture and animals in twentieth-century industrialisation and globalisation. To contribute to this aim, this article focuses on the animal feed that enabled the rise of 'factory farming' and its 'shadow places', by analysing the history of fishmeal. The article links the story of feeding fish to pigs and chickens in one country in the global north (the Netherlands), to that of fishmeal producing countries in the global south (Peru, Chile and Angola in particular) from 1954 to 1975. Analysis of new source material about fishmeal consumption from this period shows that it saw a shift to fishmeal production in the global south rather than the global north, and a boom and bust in the global supply of fishmeal in general and its use in Dutch pigs and poultry farms in particular. Moreover, in different ways, the ocean, and production and consumption places of fishmeal functioned as shadow places of this commodity. The public health, ecological and social impacts of fishmeal - which were a consequence of its cheapness as a feed ingredient - were largely invisible on the other side of the world, until changes in the marine ecosystem of the Pacific Humboldt Current and the large fishmeal crisis of 1972-1973 suddenly changed this.

Authors: Porshnev G. P , Dobretsov R. Yu , Krasilnikov A. А
Published: July 2020

The article considers variants of kinematic schemes of two-stream transmissions for agricultural tractors and road construction machines. The possibility of using an electromechanical transmission as part of this transmission is considered. The prospect of improving the operational properties of this technique by modernizing the power plant and transmission with the maximum use of serial units in its composition, primarily gearboxes, is analyzed. In this case, the possibility of using a serial transmission in combination with a more powerful engine in a tractor’s transmission is considered. For this purpose, the concept of a dual-line transmission is proposed, where part of the engine power is transmitted bypassing (in parallel) the gearbox. Several possible kinematic schemes of this transmission are considered. A comparative analysis of design options is carried out, where the parallel transmission branch is hydromechanical, mechanical, electromechanical. As a result of the analysis, the concept of a two-stream transmission with electromechanical transmission in a parallel flow is proposed as a promising option for an agricultural tractor. The order and calculated dependencies for determining the main parameters and characteristics of transmission elements of this type are given. The possibility of using the proposed transmission is considered for a promising agricultural 6-8 class wheeled tractor. At the same time, the kinematics of this transmission were analyzed, the gear ratios were calculated, and the characteristics of its main elements were determined. The directions of development of such structures are formulated.

A mass based and volume based hygroscopicities models were applied to the data extracted from Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds (OPAC).The microphysical properties obtained were radii, density, refractive index, mass and volume of the atmospheric aerosols of continental average, continental clean, continental polluted, maritime tropical, maritime polluted, maritime clean, at eight different relative humidity of 0%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98% and 99%.Using the microphysical properties, hygroscopic growth factors and effective radii of the mixtures were determined while the parameters Av and Bv for volume based and Am and Bm for mass based of the aerosols were determined using multiple regression analysis with SPSS 16.0 at each relative humidity. Although it was discovered that Bv is more dominant than Av, the R2 for all the models are greater than 90%. The significances are less than 0.05, Am>Av and Bm<Bv, therefore the two models are good for atmospheric modeling.

The transport system is fundamental to economic and social development of rural communities. The study examined the impact of road transportation system on the marketing of agricultural produce in Kajola local government area of Oyo state. Multi stage sampling technique was used to select one hundred and sixty (166) rural farmers for the study. Primary data were collected with the use of a pre-tested questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that 72.7% of the respondents were male, 69.5% were married with a mean age of 40.83years. Also, 91.4%, 89.8%, 87.5%, 79.7% and 76.6%, of the respondents produced maize, tomatoes, pepper, yam and cassava respectively while 21.9% produced cucumber. Furthermore, 60.2% of the farmers move their produce from the farm to the market through feeder roads using motorcycles due to the bad state of the roads. Respondents revealed that bad road networks bring about reduced quantity of farm produce leading to higher price. The result of the correlation analysis revealed that road transportation mode is significantly (p<0.05) related (r = 0.317) to the marketing of agricultural produce. The study recommends the renovation of existing roads and construction of more rural feeder roads to link farmlands to the markets.

ABSTRACT

Studies on the effect of transplanting methods and NP – fertilizer rates on leaf length of a female date palm offshoot have been conducted over a period of 25 months (September, 2017 – September 2019). The trial was sited at the Date Palm Research Sub – station/ Federal University Dutse (11o50’N, 09o25’E) in the Sudan Savanna ecological zone of Nigeria.  The treatments consisted of two transplanting methods (Direct: detachment of offshoot from the parent palm and directly transplanting into the field, and Indirect: detachment of offshoot from the parent palm and keeping in the nursery for 3 months before transplanting into the field) and five NP fertilizer rates Control (0g N + 0g P), 80g N + 40g P, 160g N + 80g P, 240g N +120g P and 320g N + 160g P) arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Indirect transplanting of date palm through nursery proved more effective than direct transplanting as it produces statistically longer leaves which are an indication of better chances of crop survival, establishment and yield. Rate 320g N +160g P statistically outperformed other rates in the production of longer leaves throughout the sampling periods. Interaction between transplanting methods and fertilizer rates was highly significant in most of the sampled periods except in June and September, 2019. A combination of indirect transplanting method with rate 320g N +160g P that produced longer leaves is recommended for adoption  in the Sudan Savannah ecological zone of Nigeria.
COMBINED EFFECTS OF VARIABLE VISCOSITY, VISCOUS DISSIPATION AND THERMAL RADIATION ON UNSTEADY NATURAL CONVECTION COUETTE FLOW THROUGH A VERTICAL POROUS CHANNEL

Published: July 2020

The present article investigates combined effects of variable viscosity, viscous dissipation and thermal radiation on unsteady natural convection Couette flow through vertical porous channel. Non-linear Rosseland heat diffusion is deployed for the solution of the flow equations which as a consequence; together with the effects of variable viscosity, viscous dissipation and thermal radiation have resulted to high non-linear equations for the flow formation. Appropriate similarity variables are used to convert the partial differential equations associated with the fluid formation into dimensionless ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and the emerging ODEs are solved using Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and computer aided algebra package. Influences of the physical parameters involved in the problem are presented, discussed and conclusions are drawn. During the investigation; it was found that the fluid velocity and temperature were found to increase with increase in Eckert number, viscosity variation and thermal radiation.
TRAINING APPROACHES FOR IMPROVING SCHOOL MANAGERS’ CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Siew Nyet Moi , Jones Scott
Published: July 2020

This research took a case study approach to researching the common conflicts faced by school managers, their sources, impacts and the approaches used to manage them. The research involved 18 in-service Malaysian school managers who undertook a 16-hour professional development workshop where they engaged with different conflict management tools. Data on participants’ workplace experience in resolving conflicts were captured through written diaries collected before and two months after the workshop, and face-to-face semi-structured interviews during the following months. Intragroup conflicts due to goal incompatibility were the most common conflicts faced. Negative impacts of conflicts on school communities far outweighed the benefits. Participants reported that the most effective approaches to resolving workplace conflicts were sincere efforts in problem-solving coupled with (1) culturally relevant negotiations and coaching (e.g. using a GROW coaching model); (2) stakeholder and conflict analysis, to consider and respond to everyone’s needs and feelings; and (3) reflecting on personal conflict management styles and adopting a positive attitude to personal and professional development. Certain elements in customary approaches such as respectful discussion and consultation were found relevant in resolving several of the participants’ workplace conflicts. It is suggested that practical training courses on conflict management that build on people’s strengths should be included in the curricula of further and higher education institutions and teacher training institutes.

The rationale behind the research is the Hungarian government’s decision to introduce daily physical education lessons in schools. The system was expanded to all grades by the 2016/2017 academic year. It aims to improve students’ health consciousness and sports habits. Hungarian high school students’ physical activity, participation in competitive sport, body mass index and lifestyle determiners were examined with regard to gender. Altogether, 333 students completed the anonymous questionnaire, their average age was 16.12. Their Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to estimate the prevalence of obesity. The association between BMI and lifestyle determiners was analysed. 63.8% of girls and 70.4% of boys exercise daily or several times a week. Girls love individual sports, while boys would rather choose team sports. More boys participate in competitive sports (26.2%) than girls (16.5%). Both genders’ biology marks are better than those of students who do no sport. 46.81% of girls and 27.59% of boys have been on a slimming diet, and a high percentage of girls were on a slimming diet, even those with a normal BMI. The results suggest that despite having five physical education (PE) lessons every week, students want to get more exercise. However, a lack of time and fatigue prevents them from doing so. Most children chose PE as their favourite subject, but out of all sporting venues it is at school that they like doing sport the least.
