Vocal For Local – An E-commerce Platform for Local Businesses
Authors: Kulkarni Atharva , Mahajan Chirag , Hasabnis Tejas
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Many individuals have been inspired to establish their small businesses as a result of the current Covid-19 pandemic, however, upscaling is challenging for small company owners owing to a lack of connection and client reach. In addition, the pandemic has hit many established local businesses hard financially. There is a demand for a dedicated platform that allows customers to interact with growing small businesses and start-ups while also allowing company owners to exhibit their products and network. Businesses that are fresh to the market confront challenges in showcasing their products and gaining client exposure. As a result, we developed a web application that links small businesses with larger audiences and helps them grow. Vocal for local is a seamless E-commerce platform designed to address the problems that small businesses face. Customers can pick from a large range of items supplied by various local companies and make safe and secure payments on the platform, making it a convenient platform for both customers and local businesses. Keywords: Covid-19 pandemic, Connection, Local Businesses, Start-ups, Client Exposure, Customers, Platform, Web Application, Vocal For Local, Seamless, E-commerce, safe and secure payments.
Smart Vehicle Monitoring and Accident Prevention System using Arm
Authors: Kamthe Palash , Dhakate Tushar , Kawadkar Pradnya , Belkhude Rakshanda , Bagal Asst. Prof. Shishir
Published: February 2022

Abstract: After drunken driving, mobile phone usage is the leading cause of accidents around the world. Also, at sudden stoppages on cross roads or due to sudden obstructions on road, natural or otherwise the driver cannot anticipate back bumper and side collision. Also, low height railing or pavements in blind spots while parking may damage the vehicle. Costly mobile phone jammers while effective render emergency communication impossible. As alcohol detection and vehicle tracking system are successfully implemented we are proposing an essential vehicle safety kit which is absent in majority of the vehicles on Indian roads. Furthermore, this can be an addition to the developing cognitive driver assistance system. The proposed system provides vehicle with safety features like SMS alert facility, blind spot detection and tail gating detector. The vehicle is equipped with angle sensors and a GSM modem interfaced with NXP ARM 2148 processor. The driver has access to a user interface consisting of LCD and switching ports. The driver may aware two modes of angle sensing with sensors located on centre of the Vehicle. A braking system can be actuated in the parking mode if the distance measured from the sensors crosses the defined threshold. In case of an emergency the driver can send a text or call from the stored numbers in the memory using the keypad. To save time and to maintain the driver’s focus on the road a default text can be sent to a default number by a single key pad entry. Call service from the system eliminates the need of using the phone and prevents driver’s loss of focus. Further the freedom to choose the number and the corresponding message to be sent is available when the vehicle is at rest. The system thus prevents accidental damage to the vehicle and its driver while eliminating the use of phone by the driver.

Assembly Gap Tolerance Calculation Using ANFIS and Cost Function Optimization
Authors: G V Madhavi Reddy , A Sreenivasulu Reddy
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Tolerance plays a crucial role in the quality of a product. When different parts of an assembly are assembled, gap arises due to variation in dimensions. The tolerance for the gap is calculated using two methodologies: ANFIS and cost function optimization. In ANFIS the network is trained using mean dimensions, standard deviations as inputs and tolerances as output. The tolerances are predicted from the trained network. In cost function optimization, a cost function is formulated. The machinability of a part is calculated using Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation method. The tolerances are calculated by optimizing the cost function. The tolerances calculated using the two methods are compared and optimal tolerance is considered for manufacturing. Keywords: Tolerance, ANFIS, Assembly gap, Cost function, Optimization.
Cultural Considerations in Interprofessional Education: A Systematic Review
Authors: Dowell Sharon , Charnetski Matt , Tarbet Amanda , Palaganas Janice C.
Published: February 2022

Background: Global culture influences health behaviors and attitudes and the way we communicate and solve problems; it can also significantly affect the efficiency of the multicultural and interprofessional healthcare team. This scoping review aims to understand and identify global cultural considerations that exist in interprofessional education (IPE) and that influence the development, implementation, and effectiveness of IPE.
Methods and Findings: The search included peer-reviewed articles focused on both IPE and global culture, also referred to as national, ethnic, or racial culture. There was no limitation placed on levels of learners nor specific health professions. Articles were excluded if they did not explicitly discuss global cultural considerations in IPE. The authors screened 1094 records, and 155 full-text articleswere assessed for eligibility. No eligible papers were found for inclusion yielding an empty review. The most common reasons for exclusion were failure to address global culture and a focus on provider-patient cultural competency as opposed to cultural aspects of IPE.
Conclusions: Despite the recognition of the importance of global culture in all interactions, it is not explicitly addressed within the interprofessional healthcare team or the development and implementation of IPE. Studies addressing culturally congruent teamwork and IPE, and the relationship to culturally inclusive patient care, are needed.
Gender Equality in the Political Landscape of Southern African Countries: Progress and Problems of Evolvement
Authors: Prokopenko Liubov Ya.
Published: February 2022

Since the early 2000s, the expansion of womens representation at all levels of government in South Africa and several Southern African states has become one of the main features of the formation of political leadership. There are both legal and institutional preconditions for this, such as the creation of quota systems for womens representation in elective positions. The author notes the breakdown in the stereotype that women can be engaged exclusively in the social sphere (education, health care, problems of youth and children). African women successfully occupy the posts of ministers for foreign affairs, defense, security and finance. They make a significant contribution to the development of foreign and domestic policy, as well as to the solution of socio-economic problems. Based on the analysis made through functional, comparative and psycho-biographical methodological approaches, the author describes the main reasons for the insufficient level of political participation of women in some countries: the ongoing conflict between the principle of gender equality and the traditional order; the system of informal relations in politics; the low level of political literacy and the financial and economic status of women; as well as violence. Another important factor is the insufficient level of intra-party democracy. The author concludes that the representation of women in politics is only one (though very important) part of resolving the gender equality issue. The author argues that the further expansion of gender equality in Southern African politics will be facilitated by creating equal conditions for men and women to stand for election, implying real democratic principles within political parties, as well as developing a political culture that excludes the creation of preconditions for discrimination by gender.
The Multiplicity of Feminism: Syntheses of the Local and the Universal
Authors: Kuteleva Anna V.
Published: February 2022

Any universal definitions of feminism - as well as what constitutes feminist theory, political strategy, and related practices - are problematic. The patriarchal relations that feminists oppose have different configurations depending on the social, economic, cultural and political contexts. Consequently, there are various feminisms: multiple syntheses of local and universal knowledge. This article analyzes the conceptual and political rifts within the global feminism associated with the hegemony of western ideas and its criticism by transnational and postcolonial feminists and examines the postsocialist transformations and localizations of feminism and, in particular, the evolution of feminist ideas in post-soviet Russia.
Women and Anarchism: The Anarcha-Feminism Movement in Europe and the United States
Authors: Brekhov Gleb S.
Published: February 2022

As an ideology, anarchism has many currents formed through its symbiosis with various socio-political philosophies, including feminism. In the modern world, due to the growing support for feminism in Western countries, the study of anarcha-feminism as one of the most active anarchist movements seems to be useful for understanding the socio-political situation in Europe and the United States. The article examines the position of women in the anarchism ideology upon the development of the anarcha-feminist movement from the 19th century to the present day. Based on the works of the classics of anarcha-feminism (E. Goldman, W. De Claire) and modern research (D. Koval, M. Rachmaninova), the author conducted a comparative retrospective analysis of the relationship between anarchism and feminism within a single socio-political trend. The study revealed that despite the ideological similarity of anarchism and feminism in matters of equality and attitude to power, in classical anarchism women were assigned a rather insignificant, and even deprived, role. The fusion of feminism and anarchism, which came as a response to the unfair position of women in society, led to a change in the status of women in the understanding of anarchists, and also gave impetus to the development of modern anarcha-feminism (La Rivolta!, Eskalera Karakola, Wemoons Army, Radical cheerleading) including more and more men in the movement.
The quantization of the classical two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems
Authors: Belyaeva Irina N.
Published: February 2022

The paper considers the class of Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. Based on the classical normal form, according to the rules of Born-Jordan and Weyl-MacCoy, its quantum analogs are constructed for which the eigenvalue problem is solved and approximate formulas for the energy spectrum are found. For particular values of the parameters of quantum normal forms using these formulas, numerical calculations of the lower energy levels were performed, and the obtained results were compared with the known data of other authors. It was found that the best and good agreement with the known results is obtained using the Weyl-MacCoy quantization rule. The procedure for normalizing the classical Hamilton function is an extremely time-consuming task, since it involves hundreds and even thousands of polynomials for the necessary transformations. Therefore, in the work, normalization is performed using the REDUCE computer algebra system. It is shown that the use of the Weyl-MacCoy and Born-Jordan correspondence rules leads to almost the same values for the energy spectrum, while their proximity increases for large quantities of quantum numbers, that is, for highly excited states. The canonical transformation is used in the work, the quantum analog of which allows us to construct eigenfunctions for the quantum normal form and thus obtain analytical formulas for the energy spectra of different Hamiltonian systems. So, it is shown that quantization of classical Hamiltonian systems, including those admitting the classical mode of motion, using the method of normal forms gives a very accurate prediction of energy levels.
On the many-body problem with short-range interaction
Authors: Gambaryan Mark M. , Malykh Mikhail D.
Published: February 2022

The classical problem of the interaction of charged particles is considered in the framework of the concept of short-range interaction. Difficulties in the mathematical description of short-range interaction are discussed, for which it is necessary to combine two models, a nonlinear dynamic system describing the motion of particles in a field, and a boundary value problem for a hyperbolic equation or Maxwells equations describing the field. Attention is paid to the averaging procedure, that is, the transition from the positions of particles and their velocities to the charge and current densities. The problem is shown to contain several parameters; when they tend to zero in a strictly defined order, the model turns into the classical many-body problem. According to the Galerkin method, the problem is reduced to a dynamic system in which the equations describing the dynamics of particles, are added to the equations describing the oscillations of a field in a box. This problem is a simplification, different from that leading to classical mechanics. It is proposed to be considered as the simplest mathematical model describing the many-body problem with short-range interaction. This model consists of the equations of motion for particles, supplemented with equations that describe the natural oscillations of the field in the box. The results of the first computer experiments with this short-range interaction model are presented. It is shown that this model is rich in conservation laws.
THE PURITY CONCEPT OF AL-FALIMBĀNI AND ITS CORRELATION WITH THE ISLAMIC MALAY SOCIETY: THE CONTENT ANALYSIS ON SAYR AL-SĀLIKĪN ILĀ IBĀDATI RABB AL-ĀLAMĪN’S SCRIPT
Authors: Muliadi Muliadi , Ruslan Ruslan , Maulana Riyan , Widyanto Anton
Published: February 2022

Al-Falimbān's thoughts in the ancient text of Sayr al-Sālikīn Ilā 'Ibādati Rabb al-Ālamn have influenced the dynamics of Malay Islamic society. One of the discussions in the text is the study of sanctification [ṭahārah]. This article examines the concept of al-Falimbānī ahārah in the Sayr al-Sālikīn text and its correlation with the observance of the Islamic Malay community in the 18th century. This journal has been carried out using a philological method with a content analysis approach. The results showed that the concept of the sanctity of Al-Falimbān, which is believed to be the standard of holiness that a Malay Muslim mukallaf should practice, is physical and spiritual purity. Physical purity is defined as removing all kinds of sensory and sensory impurity, while spiritual purity is defined as the ability to remove sensual and immaterial impurities.

BRASIL, UM PAÍS DE TODOS?
Authors: Cardoso Squeff Tatiana de A. F. R. , Monteiro Michelle Alves
Published: February 2022

Desde a colonização, os povos indígenas no Brasil sofrem com o modelo civilizatório do Ocidente, o qual os estigmatizava e negava suas identidades, bem como extirpa suas terras como forma de sustentar o modelo colonial desenvolvimentista; porém, que persiste em recusar-lhes os seus direitos (humanos), tendo como fundamento a existência de um único padrão cultural, o qual todos devem seguir. Modelo este que, todavia, termina por invisibilizar as particularidades destes povos e que não deveria ser sustentada pelo Brasil, seja por uma situação de fato demonstrada pela pluriculturalidade existente no seu interior, seja por uma situação de Direito apresentada pela Constituição de 1988, as quais são debatidas no presente texto como forma de (re)pensar a situação opressora e assimilatória hoje apresentada a partir da construção do Estado Plurinacional – modelo de Estado que prima pelo pluralismo e pela participação de todos os povos na vida política, jurídica e social.

MARX, NATUREZA E MINERAÇÃO
Authors: Sartori Vitor Bartoletti
Published: February 2022

Neste texto, pretendemos explicitar o tratamento marxiano da mineração. Passaremos, primeiramente, pela relação homem-natureza no que diz respeito ao ponto. Analisaremos, assim, o desenvolvimento da indústria mineradora, quem segundo Marx, vai da unidade imediata com a natureza até o afastamento gritante diante desta, que está presente nas sociedades por ações. A partir daquilo que o filósofo brasileiro José Chasin chamou de análise imanente procuraremos explicitar como que, em Marx, coloca-se o liame entre desenvolvimento capitalista, mineração e as diversas figuras da indústria extrativa. Ao tratar das contradições desta última, mostraremos que Marx não tem uma relação acrítica quanto ao tema, sendo suas posições, sob diversos aspectos, atuais.

Solitary Brain Metastasis Detected 1 Year After Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy: A Case Report
Authors: Yun Ji Kang , Kim Woong Bin , Kim Si Hyun , Moon Ahrim , Lee Sang Wook
Published: February 2022

Brain metastases are not rare in patients with renal cell carcinoma. However, there have been few reports of isolated brain metastases. In patients with localized renal masses, urologists tend to evaluate only the chest and abdomen region. We report the case of a 65-year-old patient who presented with sudden left-sided weakness. He underwent brain surgery after a mass was found on brain imaging. Histopathology analysis revealed a single brain metastasis that occurred 15 months after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. Although the patient had been evaluated for localized kidney cancer in preoperative staging, he had not complained of any neurological symptoms before or after radical nephrectomy. Therefore, we had not perceived a need for brain evaluation at that time. This report is intended to draw attention to the need for further evaluation in patients with large renal masses, as well as patients with moderate to high recurrence risk scores.
ICON REPRESENTATION IN 'OZYMANDIAS' AND 'THE NEW COLOSSUS' POETRY: SEMIOTICS ANALYSIS
Authors: Rosarini Ingga
Published: February 2022

Semiotic or semiology means the systematic study of signs. What becomes difficult is defining what a 'sign' actually is. Modern day Semioticians, not only study 'signs' - it goes much deeper than that - they study how meaning is formed. Semiotic study how people first of all interprate a sign, how they then draw on cultural or personal experience to understand a sign. Pierce distinguished sign into three basic, there are: iconic, indexical, and the symbolic. An Icon has a physical resemblance to the signified, the thing being represented. Ozymandias is a fourteen-line sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley as English Romantic poet published in 1818. Ozymandias is a statue for another name of King Ramses the Great, Pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt. The icon is depicted directly in the poem which represents the figure of king Ramses II with a statue. The new colossus is a statue for a classic American poem have fourteen-line sonnet by Emma Lazarus. The New Colossus was written in 1883 which adorns the pedestal of the statue of Liberty. The depiction of the character 'Mother of Exiles' as evidenced by the Statue of Liberty woman was written with the truth about what appeared and was seen and a deep sense of freedom. The portrayal depicted in the poem is immediately explained in terms of the denotation in its basic and original form. The depiction of the king's character was written with the truth of what appeared and was seen.

Social structure affects the gut microbiota in honey bees: The physiological cost of precocious foraging
Authors: Copeland Duan , Mott Brendon , Anderson Kirk
Published: February 2022

Honey bees exhibit an elaborate social structure that corresponds with
worker aging and division of labor. Young workers perform tasks inside
the hive, while older workers forage outside the hive. Critical to
colony fitness, the work force can respond rapidly to changes in the
environment or colony demography and assume emergency tasks, resulting
in young foragers or old nurses. We hypothesized that social structure
affects the microbiome, more specifically, that behavioral task
independent of age would generate differences in gut microbiota and host
physiology. We used high throughput sequencing to track gut microbial
succession, and measured gene expression and oxidative protein damage
associated with behavioral task and age. We found that both age and
behavioral task could explain differences in midgut and ileum
microbiota, but host gene expression was best explained by an
interaction of task and age. An extended nursing role in early life
stabilized the ratio abundance of G. apicola and S. alvi in the ileum,
while precocious foraging resulted in poor G. apicola establishment,
nutrient deficient gene expression, and increased oxidative damage. Our
results suggest that the physiological cost of early foraging is
extreme, and highlight the progression of colony dwindling, a common but
misunderstood process.

When Free Ain’t Really Free: The Hidden Barriers of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Authors: Mungo Monita , Klonowski Monica
Published: February 2022

A completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) serves as an objective and neutral form required for all individuals who plan to attend college. The social barriers that the application produces and reinforces are all but objective. The application collects information and sorts students into groups based on their responses to questions regarding citizenship, race, gender, marital status, the income of parents, and convictions; and distributes or restricts financial resources based on group membership. The intersection of low socioeconomic status combined with experience in the criminal justice system, which disproportionately arrests and charges people of color (Butler, 2017; Brown, Lane, & Rogers 2002) exacerbates gaps in FAFSA completion rates. While college completion exists as a mitigating factor that combats intergenerational reproduction in the criminal justice system, minority youth who are disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system continuously face challenges accessing higher education. The FAFSA serves as the indicator of financial status since it assigns a score indicating to colleges and universities how much families are expected to contribute. The sorting function serves as a barrier to postsecondary education because it does not consider how these groupings affect the chances and choices of the applicant. The language as well as policies such as the Drug-Free Student Aid Provision are deterrents for people of color who bear the social burden of the label convict. Adding to the body of research on the FAFSA, this study examines the use, effects, and function of its written language, particularly question 23. A discourse analysis of the wording of question 23 on the FAFSA reveals the maintenance of a racialized social hierarchy that hinders access to educational opportunity through practice, process, and policy. This finding suggests that access to postsecondary education is not as accessible as the mainstream messages that resonate with prevailing discursive themes.

Growing evidence indicates an important link
between gut microbiota, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Alterations in
exocrine pancreatic function are also widely present in patients with diabetes
and obesity. To examine this interaction, C57BL/6J mice were fed either a chow
diet, high-fat diet (HFD) or HFD plus oral vancomycin or metronidazole to
modify the gut microbiome. HFD alone leads to a 40% increase in pancreas
weight, decreased glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY levels, and increased
glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide in the plasma. Quantitative
proteomics identified 138 host proteins
in fecal samples of these mice, of which 32 were significantly changed by HFD.
The most significant of these were the pancreatic enzymes. These changes in amylase
and elastase were reversed by antibiotic treatment. These alterations could be
reproduced by transferring gut microbiota from donor C57BL/6J mice to
germ-free. By contrast, antibiotics had no effect on pancreatic size or
exocrine function in C57BL/6J mice fed a chow diet. Further,
one week vancomycin administration significantly increased amylase and elastase
levels in obese prediabetic men. Thus, the alterations in gut microbiota in
obesity can alter pancreatic growth, exocrine function and gut endocrine
function, and may contribute to the alterations observed in patients with
obesity and diabetes.

Published: February 2022

Background and purpose: Fast-track total joint replacement (TJR) has become increasingly common. Routine thromboprophylaxis for pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis prevention lasts from 2 to 5 weeks. This retrospective registry study focused on clinically relevant bleeding complications 90 days after fast-track primary TJR.
Patients and methods: All primary fast-track total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasties (TKA) performed between 2015 and 2016 were extracted from the Finnish Arthroplasty Register and Finnish Hospital Discharge Register. Type of arthroplasty and indication for the operation were combined with diagnoses of clinically relevant bleeding complications within 90 days of surgery. The incidence of these bleedings was the primary outcome measure.
Results: Of the total of 8,511 patients (mean age 67 years (SD 10); 60% female), 45% underwent unilateral THA, 52% unilateral TKA, and 3% bilateral TKA. The incidence of clinically relevant bleeding complications within 90 days was 1% (95% CI 0.8–1.3). No difference wasobserved in bleeding incidence between the groups. The 87 bleedings comprised 57 operative site bleedings, 17 gastrointestinalbleedings, 6 intracranial non-traumatic bleedings, 5 bleedings from the nose or another undetermined site, and 2 intraocular bleedings. 1 death due to intracranial bleeding was recorded, and hence clinically relevant bleeding-specific 90-day mortality was 0.01%.
Interpretation: The incidence of clinically relevant bleeding complications was low. However, they cause patient discomfort, increase the use of healthcare services, and can be life-threatening and even fatal.
STUDY OF POLICY IN THE EFFORT TO HANDLE THE PROBLEMS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMI FOR VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS (CHILDREN, ELDERLY, AND DISABLED) IN ADI REJO VILLAGE, EAST LAMPUNG REGENCY.
Authors: Wardhana Yuditya
Published: February 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, the central and regional governments have issued a series of policy packages in handling the disease outbreak. The current pandemic situation has become extraordinary due to several aspects. First, this situation has a long-lasting impact on the health, mental, economic and social conditions of the community. Second, the handling of COVID-19 will not be effective in alleviating the suffering of the affected community, especially for vulnerable individuals (children, elderly, and disabled) if without adequate implementation arrangements. Third, Indonesia has almost no experience in dealing with pandemic situations of this scale. The goal to be achieved in this community service activity is as a form of introducing and providing understanding to the public about policy studies in overcoming COVID-19 problems in vulnerable individuals. The service activity was carried out on Thursday, August 5, 2021 in Adi Rejo Village, East Lampung Regency. This activity took place in the form of socialization and discussion with the community and local village officials. The result of this activity is the achievement of goals and benefits in community service activities.

Objective. Тo investigate the effectiveness of Lipin-Biolik therapy on a clinical course of moderate pneumonia associated with COVID-19 as a supplement to the basic therapy at the Department of Pulmonology. Materials and methods. 94 case histories of institutional patients who were treated at the Department of Pulmonology, Chernivtsi Regional Clinical Hospital during 2020-2021 were examined. The patients were divided into two groups: 66 individuals with viral-bacterial pneumonia of a moderate severity associated with COVID-19 (the main group). Their treatment included antibiotics, anticoagulants and intravenous injection of Lipin solution. The control group included 28 patients suffering from pneumonia who received antibiotics and anticoagulants only.Results. Condition of patients after treatment improved in both groups, but in the main group, it was faster than in control one (4-5 faster): shortness of breath decreased, D-dimer in the blood reduced, high blood pressure and the temperature came to normal values, О2 saturation improved. Moreover, by the chest X-ray findings carried out three weeks after treatment, the patients from the main group presented a faster decrease of infiltration areas in the lungs and formation of stable fibrous changes, respectively.Conclusions. The results presented in the article confirm a high effect of Lipin (liposomal forms of natural phosphatidylcholine) for the treatment of viral pneumonias in practical work of a pulmonologist with the aim to reduce the risk of fibrosis formation in the lung tissue, the risk of clot formation and as surfactant-protective therapy.

Authors: Sydorchuk A.
Published: February 2022

Objective. Тo study the relationship between endothelial function, "intima-media" thickness (IMT) of carotid arteries, some anthropometric, clinical and metabolic parameters in patients with essential arterial hypertension (EAH) depending on the genes polymorphism NOS3 (rs2070744) and GNB3 (rs5443).Material and methods. 100 patients with EAH and 48 practically healthy subjects (control group) participated in the study. All participants underwent clinical and laboratory examinations. The correlation values of Endothelium-Dependent Flow-Mediated Dilation of the Brachial Artery (FMD BA), total nitric oxide metabolites (NO), Soluble Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule (sVCAM-1), the transcriptional activity of NOS3 gene, and carotid IMT were studied. GNB3 (rs5443) and NOS3 (rs2070744) genotyping were performed by Real-Time PCR. Results. In EAH patients with dominant T-allele carriers of the NOS3 gene (rs2070744) and/or C-allele of the GNB3 gene (rs5443) FMD BA inversely correlates with the triglycerides level (r =-0.45; p=0.042) and carotid IMT (r=-0.88-/-0.44/; P≤0.006-0.001). In the carriers of mutation C-allele of the NOS3 gene and TT-genotype of the GNB3 gene – with sVCAM-1 (r=-0.41; p=0.009), atherogenic index (r=-0.69; p=0.013) and diastolic arterial pressure (r=-0.84; p=0.036).Conclusion. Matrix correlations of endothelial function, IMT with clinical and metabolic parameters in EAH patients showed the dependence of connections on the allelic state of the genes NOS3 (rs2070744) and GNB3 (rs5443).

Growing edible plants in the home gardens has proven to help improve the quality of life. However, the appearance of garden pests in the home garden may be a problem, causing loss of productivity and spreading diseases. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the changing patterns of common garden pests among different species of edible plants in the home garden. The research was carried out approximately 8 months (June 2020 until January 2021) with 33 species of edible plants have been tested. All tested plants in the home garden were ranged at 2 to 8 months matured growth. Data sampling were carried out in two-phases, November 2020 and January 2021 when the plants were ready to harvest and the garden pest was active. The outcome of this paper was the pattern or preferences made by garden pests towards edible plants in the home garden. Recommendations are made with biological control approach with the presence of ladybirds as predatory insects to the common garden pest.

Authors: Juárez Laura , Rodríguez Piña Yunuen Nicte
Published: February 2022

En este artículo se estima el impacto de una pensión no contributiva que operó a nivel federal entre 2007 y 2012, sobre el bienestar subjetivo de las personas mayores. Los resultados sugieren que, en promedio, dicha pensión tuvo un efecto positivo y estadísticamente significativo sobre el bienestar subjetivo de las mujeres mayores, aunque no en el de los hombres mayores. Sin embargo, un análisis de impactos heterogéneos por vulnerabilidad socioeconómica revela que hay impactos positivos para los hombres mayores de habla indígena y que los impactos positivos son más pronunciados para aquellas mujeres mayores que no cuentan con primaria completa.

Confinement effectiveness of CFRP strengthened ultra-high performance concrete cylinders exposed to elevated temperatures
Authors: Abadel Aref A. , Alharbi Yousef R.
Published: February 2022

Fire-related damage is an alarming concern to reinforced concrete (RC) structures throughout their service lives. When exposed to extreme temperatures, concrete can endure severe damage. Given that a complete replacement and/or demolition of fire-damaged structures can be an economic waste, a more viable option for extending the service life of the damaged structures involves repairing or strengthening the damaged members. Due to its more efficient qualities over conventional concrete, the use of concrete, such as ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) in the building industry, has dramatically grown in recent years. However, limited information is available about the confinement behavior of the unheated and heated UHPC members, particularly when wrapped with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). This paper investigates the effect of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheet strengthening on the compressive strength of both UHPC and ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). In this study, strengthening has been considered for the UHPC cylinders before and after they were subject to an elevated temperature of 400°C, and they were left to cool by air cooling. Six UHPC mixes, which were made without the use of fibers, steel fibers (SF) alone, a hybrid system of SF and polyethylene alcohol (PVA), in addition to a hybrid system of steel, PVA, and polypropylene (PP) fibers were tested. Regarding the plain and various fiber-reinforced UHPC both at room temperature and after being exposed to 400°C, the ultimate compressive strength of CFRP-confined concrete has shown an increase by 25% to 33% and 52% to 61%, respectively compared with the unheated specimens.
