Published: March 2022

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important crop for food and income generation in Uganda. However, lack of data on the physico-chemical characteristics of the major potato varieties to support industrial-level processing is one of the major limitations. To bridge the existing information gap, nine major potato varieties grown in Uganda; namely: Cruza, Kachpot1, Kimuli, Kinigi, Mbumbamagara, Rutuku, Rwashaki, Rwangume and Victoria were characterised to generate information on physical, chemical and processing traits. The results indicated that Kinigi had the highest dry matter (27.2%); whereas Rutuku had the lowest (19.28 %). Most varieties had tubers of medium size (50-60 mm), round in shape with medium eye depth. Kimuli recorded the highest (0.55 g 100 g-1 FW) levels of reducing sugars; whereas Kinigi had the lowest (0.02 g 100 g-1 FW). Cluster analysis separated the varieties into three groups; group 1 included varieties Cruza, Kimuli and Rwangume, which were found unsuitable for processing French fries and crisps due to high levels of reducing sugars; but are excellent candidates for preparation of mashed potato and salads. The second group included Kachpot1, Kinigi and Rwashaki and was found suitable for processing French fries, crisps and starch due to high dry matter and low reducing sugars. Group 3 included Mbumbamagara, Rutuku and Victoria and was found only suitable for production of potato flour, mashed potato and salads due to low dry matter content and small tubers.The information generated by the study is important in guiding interventions aimed at improving the potato value chain in Uganda and its contribution to socio-economic development.

Soil moisture deficit is a key constraint to sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) productivity in arid and semi-arid lands globally. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of ridging and sorghum-bean intercropping (additive system) on soil moisture conservation and sorghum productivity. Sorghum (gadam) was grown either as a sole crop or intercropped with two bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties (KATx56 and KAT B1), under two types of ridging (open ridges and tied ridges), and a control without ridges for two years. The study was set up in split plot arrangement, in a randomised complete block design, at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization, Kiboko, in 2019 and 2020. There was no significant interaction between ridging and intercropping. Soil moisture content increased by 11-26% due to ridging; and decreased by -11 and -7% due to sorghum-KAT B1 and Sorghum-KAT X56 intercropping, respectively. Higher moisture content due to ridging was attributed to formation of basin-like structures, which increased water harvesting and infiltration compared to the no ridges where surface run-off was predominant. The highest moisture content was attained on sole bean, followed by sole sorghum and then sorghum/bean intercropping. The decrease in moisture content in intercrops of sorghum/bean relative to their specific sole crops was attributed to higher crop density, which reduced crop spacing, thus triggering competition for available soil moisture. The highest sorghum grain and equivalent yields were obtained in the ridged plots. Intercropping resulted into decrease in sorghum grain yield, but led to increase in sorghum equivalent yield (SEY) and Land Equivalent Ratio (LER). The results show that both ridging and intercropping are suitable for higher water use efficiency and land productivity in ASALs of Kenya.

Published: March 2022

Let $k$ and $n$ be integers such that $1\leq k \leq n-1$, and let $G$ be a
simple graph of order $n$. The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of $G$ is the graph
whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent
in $F_k(G)$ whenever their symmetric difference is an edge of $G$. In this
paper we show that if $G$ is a tree, then the connectivity of $F_k(G)$ is equal
to the minimum degree of $F_k(G)$.

Published: March 2022

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV)is a public health problem globally and is most common in developing countries. IPV affects more than one-fourth of all women of reproductive age [WRA]. It is most critical during pregnancy. IPV not only affects physical and mental well-being but also leads to negative consequences with birth outcomes. The paper aims to find out the association between background characteristics of participants, IPV, and utilization of maternal health services. Methods: We conducted a secondary data analysis of the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2016 to assess the association between IPV and maternal service utilization: ANC visits and institutional delivery. Altogether 1374 WRA were randomly selected. Background characteristics of the WRA and those who experienced IPV were the independent variables and ANC visits and institutional delivery were the dependent variables. Results: Data showed that 26 percent of the WRA had faced at least one form of IPV, 68 percent had visited health facilities at least four times for ANC check-ups during pregnancy, and the rate of institutional delivery was 61 percent. There were associations among IPV with ANC visits and institutional delivery (p<0.001). Age group, educational level, ethnicity, number of children, residence setting, and wealth status of the WRA were significantly associated with ANC visits and institutional delivery (p<0.001). Conclusions: IPV, educational level, and socio-economic status of WRA were significant predictors for maternal health service utilization. Policymakers should incorporate these significant predictors during planning and intervention programs as well.

Published: March 2022

Nephrotoxicity, the prevalence and incidence of which is increasing day by day, is affecting very badly the quality of life of the sufferers in addition to the impalement of physical, mental, social and economical damages. The fact that the mortality rate of hospitalized patients with acute kidney injury over the last 40–50 years is almost constant and is not improving itself iterates its graveness. Treatment/management of acute kidney injury is primarily supportive, with the goals of preventing further damage and promoting recovery of renal function. It may include discontinuation, dose adjustment or monitoring of the medications prescribed. There are only few drugs like melatonin and lithium which are supposed to be having the potential of mitigation of drug-induced nephrotoxicity. If metabolic derangements from acute kidney injury do not respond to conservative treatment, either dialysis or renal replacement therapy is the only option to ensure the maintenance of homeostasis. But neither hemodialysis nor renal transplantation, which themselves bring about a lot of personal and familial difficulties, is free from side/adverse effects. Ayurveda, the ancient healing science, describes a lot of measures for the prevention and management of diseases in a great detail. Although nephrotoxicity seems to be a new entity, it can be very well prevented and managed with the adoption of Ayurveda in a cost effective and safe way. This article presents the nehroprotective effect of Ayurvedic advocacy and that of Ayurvedic plants evident by experiments in animal model.

Published: March 2022

1.1. Introduction: Abdominal cocoon syndrome is a rare condition that refers to total or partial encapsulation of the small intestines leading to recurrent bowel obstruction. It usually affects young ladies from tropical and subtropical area. 1.2. Methods: we report a middle aged man, from the Mediterranean region, presenting with small bowel obstruction, with history of recurrent similar episode. 1.3. Results: after failure of conservative treatment, surgical exploration showed a thick fibrous peritoneal membrane wrapping the small bowel in a concentric fashion with some adhesions. The pathology of this resected fibrous membrane confirmed the diagnosis of an abdominal cocoon syndrome. 1.4. Conclusion: From the atypical presentation of our case, we can conclude that though rare, this condition must be kept in mind when considering the differential diagnosis of idiopathic intestinal obstruction in any adult and therefore the decision of a surgical exploration should not be differed in the appropriate context, especially in the light of the condition’s benign nature and favorable prognosis. 1.5. Background: Abdominal cocoon syndrome is a rare condition that refers to total or partial encapsulation of the small intestines by a fibro-collagenous membrane with local inflammatory infiltrate leading to acute, subacute or chronic bowel obstruction [1]. It also has been described as “encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis”, “sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis” and in Latin “peritonitis chronica fibrosaincapsulata” [1, 2]

Los estatutos de la Orden Tercera Franciscana en Viana do Castelo (1727 y 1740)
Authors: Pérez Álvarez María José
Published: March 2022

The early 17th century witnessed a revival of the Franciscan lay communities in practically all Catholic territories. Such communities were open to clerics and lay people alike, regardless of marital status, gender or social status. Their members committed their lives to Franciscanism and an intense spirituality, following a strict calendar of devotional practices as set out in the rule and the statutes. These latter were specific to each of the communities but were drawn up based on the rule. The statutes of the Third Order in the Portuguese town of Viana do Castelo, analyzed here, were drawn up in 1726. Until then, those of 1663 had been applied and attributed to the then commissary visitor of the Order. The need for new statutes arose because the earlier ones were considered too vague, but the new statutes failed to solve the problem and were revised in 1740.

Now a day’s Defence Sector plays a major role in our country, we have many machines in the field of war area. In recent years we have studied that our soldiers can practice Aim so that they can easy to shoot the enemy in the war area. But for practice the Aim, we have to use number of bullets or number of ammunition which is highly very costly for the defence budget. So we can built a system with the help of laser on the transmitting unit and the photodiode on the reciever unit for practicing the Aim of the war tank. In war tank we have two units one is commander unit and the other is the gunner unit, and they both have switches for fire the Aim with a pulse of laser. After firing on the receiver side we have photodiodes which can detect the pulse of the laser and notify with the led or speaker when the aim is detected. With the help of these our soldiers can practicing more without using ammunition. There is no need of extra budget for the defence sector.

Authors: Radić Bruna , Hren Darko
Published: March 2022

Objective: Examining the experiences of students of a theater company pertaining to the impact of work in the dramatic arts on their psychological well-being.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 students of a theater company of different ages and levels of experience. The collected qualitative data were analyzed in the context of the six-factor Theory of psychological well-being, which includes: self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth. In addition to the above topics derived from a deductive approach to data, two additional topics are also discussed: reasons for enrolling in the theater and participants’ progress.
Results: The results of this research showed that acting contributes to the personal well-being of individuals. The participants most often mentioned an increase in self-confidence, a decrease in anxiety levels, a connection with other students, courage, and awareness of one’s own capabilities. In addition to the positive impact of acting on their lives, the participants also mentioned some negative aspects they had noticed when it comes to the behavior of others, such as a lack of accountability of some students, “pretending” in everyday life, and some prejudices regarding acting.
Conclusion: The results of the research support the idea that working in the arts, in this case the dramatic arts, can contribute to the psychological well-being of individuals. Sharing their experiences of working in the dramatic arts, the students of a theater company touched on all six domains of psychological well-being pertaining to the Theory of psychological well-being (Ryff & Keyes, 1995).

Published: March 2022

Background and aims – Mitracarpus semirianus, an overlooked new species from the “campo rupestre” of the Chapada Diamantina, in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, is here described and illustrated. Specimens of the new species have been previously identified as M. frigidus or M. lhotzkyanus, with which its distinction is discussed. We also provide an updated description of the latter, with notes on its type specimens. In addition, we comment on the distribution, habitat, and preliminary conservation status of both M. semirianus and M. lhotzkyanus. We also provide an updated identification key to the species of Mitracarpus occurring in Brazil.Material and methods – This study was based on fieldwork collections and observations and analysis of specimens deposited in herbaria. Preliminary conservation status assessments follow the IUCN Red List criteria.Key results – Mitracarpus semirianus differs from M. frigidus and M. lhotzkyanus by its glabrous stems, winged at each angle, wing margin hirsute, glabrous leaf blades, and the oblongoid and slightly compressed seeds, with a smooth longitudinal groove dorsally and an inverted “Y”-shaped groove ventrally. The new species is assessed as Endangered according to the IUCN criteria. Furthermore, it is more likely that Riedel, not Lhotzky, collected the original material of the name M. lhotzkyanus. This species is glabrate, not completely glabrous, presenting a generally strigose indumentum on the stems, stipular sheaths, and leaf blades.

Presentation of Women Harassment in Pakistani Dramas
Authors: Manzoor Dr Samia , Nawaz Ayesha
Published: March 2022

This research is aimed to analyze the themes used to construct the plot of Pakistani dramas to depict women-based harassment. A rigorous thematic analysis of prime-time dramas of two mainstream Pakistani channels has been carried out. The researchers employed simple random sampling technique to dig out the dramas based on harassment concept while the theory applied is feminist theory of media. The findings suggested that the portrayal is modest and emotional on one channel while the other channel portrayed the victim as a fighter in the climax, the dramas factually exhibit the types of acts an offender commits, the issues a victim faces, how social pressure makes the situation worse and the most significant fact was how men are not able to control their male ego and oppress women to get satisfaction. The following themes emerged from the content, good looking women from middle class fall in this trap; they mostly endured verbal, nonverbal and physical abuse; shame; blame; suffering depression; panic attacks; breaking silence but be afraid of not being believed and males are too sensitive to rejection.

Authors: Shin Jeong Wook , Kim Hyunyeon , Kim Yun Young , Lee Geun Woo
Published: March 2022

Purpose: To report a case of a tractional epiretinal membrane that rapidly progressed after intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation (Yamane technique).Case summary: A 59-year-old male presented with acute-onset decreased visual acuity in the left eye, which occurred 2 days previously. He was diagnosed with IOL dislocation, and underwent vitrectomy and intrascleral IOL fixation following dislocated IOL removal. Choroidal detachment related to ocular hypotony was checked for 1 day after surgery, but there were no signs of leakage at the wound. Two months after the surgery, a tractional epiretinal membrane was present in the superior arcade. and cystoid macular edema was seen on fundoscopy. The best corrected visual acuity had deteriorated to 0.6. Vessel tortuosity and cystoid macular edema deteriorated due to progressive tractional epiretinal membrane 3 months after the surgery, while visual acuity decreased to 0.2. The tractional epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane were removed through secondary vitrectomy. Visual acuity recovered to 0.6 1 month after the surgery, and remained stable thereafter.Conclusions: We report this case because there have been no previously reported cases of rapidly progressing tractional epiretinal membrane after application of the Yamane technique.

Teorías y Prácticas en América latina y Caribe: “La extensión crítica se viene consolidando como un proceso de diálogo de saberes, crítico, horizontal que vincula educadores de variado tipo (universitarios, técnicos, dirigentes de movimientos y organizaciones sociales, etc.) con sectores populares, en la búsqueda y construcción de una sociedad más justa, solidaria e igual, en donde desaparezcan los procesos de opresión-dominación, y en donde se generen y fortalezcan propuestas anticapitalistas, feministas y de coloniales”.

En definitiva, el presente artículo busca contribuir al fortalecimiento y consolidación de los procesos de comunicación, aportar a los procesos de integración de la docencia, la investigación y la extensión, apoyar y difundir los trabajos realizados en derechos humanos, economía solidaria, soberanía alimentaria y desarrollo productivo que prevean el trabajo en conjunto con la sociedad. También pretende promover la participación universitaria en políticas públicas (salud, educación, vivienda, tecnología social, medio ambiente); arte, cultura, comunicación y pueblos originarios, y difundir la investigación científica y tecnológica, incluidos los procesos de innovación, adaptación y transferencia tecnológica, en áreas estratégicas.
Sense of Community: Perceptions of “Inter-Intra” Collaborations in an Academic Environment through the Lenses of Botho Principles and the Field of industrial Psychology
Authors: Diale Dineo
Published: March 2022

In the current study, I explored the concept of collaboration from Botho principles and the industrial psychology perspective in specific higher learning institutions. Using a qualitative approach, 13 participants performing academic and nonacademic roles formed part of the study. Overall, the participants experiences regarding collaboration in an academic environment are reported to be in the form of hared goals, sense of unity, diversity, and solution-driven teams. Further participants experiences in relation to collaboration is African cultureBotho principles. The latter were perceived contributors to collaboration within departments (intra); and few barriers to collaboration were discovered, such as criteria, lack of shared leadership, lack of collaboration champions or ambassadors. The concept of Botho is defined as a social contract of mutual respect, humanity, and responsibility that members have with one another often referred to as bringing in humanity onto processes or a set environment. Although there are commonalities between Botho and Ubuntu, they however have dissimilarities and are underpinned by different cultures and traditions. Ubuntu is seen often used by a slogan, “I am because you are”. Botho is Setswana or Sesotho concept while Ubuntu forms part of Nguni languages. The I then further conceptualize collaboration through the lens of industrial psychology from the results and offer future research recommendations in the current paper.

A Periferia urbana e o reconhecimento social: uma análise a partir da escola
Authors: Jesus Likem Edson Silva de
Published: March 2022

O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar o papel da escola frente às experiências de negação do reconhecimento social vivenciadas por estudantes periféricos, bem como na superação dos desafios existentes na relação subalternizada deste grupo com o Estado, ancorando-se, notadamente, na teoria crítico-normativa de Axel Honneth. A base empírica da pesquisa consistiu na aplicação de questionários e rodas de conversa com estudantes periféricos de ensino médio de uma escola estadual pública. Observou-se que morar na periferia é um marcador de diferença nas cidades que favorece a associação com a pobreza e o crime e que a individualidade dos estudantes é maculada, na medida em que são impossibilitados de se perceberem dotados de capacidades consideradas relevantes para a vida social. Para promover o reconhecimento, a experiência periférica deve ser problematizada na escola, apostando-se que a “leitura de mundo” pode desfazer os estigmas e a marginalização.

The study aimed to estimate the benefits derived from the park to whole society and identify the socio-economic determinants of willingness to pay (WTP) of public park visitors. The estimated Poisson regression analysis result showed that the visit rate of the visitors was significantly predicted by their round-trip. Likewise, as per the regression analysis output result proved that various variables like income level, age, years of schooling and dummy variables perceived park quality, place of residence, sex and employment status of visitors and average stay hours in the park significantly predicted the WTP of the respondent visitors. Similarly, based on stated willingness to pay for the park entry fee, the existing fee is far below than their WTP. This evidence indicates that Tikapur Banglow Park (TBP) bestows huge benefits to the whole society. There should be comprehensive reform project to avail timely adequate park service so as to raise utility from the park.

Cinematic architecture in the broadest terms, portrayed spaces as a scene, where it conceives and reads the built environment in terms of sequences. It explores the effect of futuristic architecture and highlight the significant role of cinematic architecture in the society. Both movies and architecture function as languages, with two components: the signifiers, which are the tangible forms of signs, and the signified, which are the concepts, thoughts, and ideals that the signifiers contain. Unfortunately, the world is experiencing fast changes as a result of the massive rise of technology and capitalism, and the cinema industry plays an important role in displaying these improvements, showing the up - coming future through various science fiction movies, that either operate as an alert system for transformation, with the majority of these depictions viewing futuristic architecture and urban design as a dystopian realm, a lack of how to manage the upcoming issues, and these visions may come to pass. This paper aims to recognize different technological approaches to create the cinematic architecture, presented in the science fiction movies. To achieve this aim, the paper will start with literature review, based on desk research, reviewing previous readings, then the paper will analyze two case studies, which are the Movie of Tron Legacy, 2010, and the Avatar movie, James Cameron, 2009. As a conclusion, a better understanding the link between movie and architecture, it may be a better convey the complex concepts and ambitions for cities through architectural elements and signifiers.

Published: March 2022

Informal Settlements have expanded rapidly in the last fifty years and have kept rising. With rapid population expansion has come an increase in haphazard urbanisation and informal settlements, frequently referred as slums. Defined as a settlement that was formed in an unplanned and uncontrolled way, which means they are mostly unrecognized. Unfortunately, focusing on the problem of current challenges in informal settlements, on the socio-cultural and environmental levels, which are facing a massive shift in the quality of life in these sites, this is reflected in urban fragmentations, social and infrastructures are lacking, service systems that have become progressively inefficient over time, a shortage of open public spaces, and inequality. Which all influence the urban environment. This paper, therefore, aims to provide guidelines to upgrade the open public spaces in the informal settlements to evolve these sites. To achieve this aim, the paper will follow a scientific methodology, starting by presenting a literature review highlighting the definition of an informal settlement, recognizing its causes, types, and its relation to the city. As a focused case study, the research will tackle Taamir district in Saida applying the field method, which are primarily inhabited by refugees, abandoned peoples, and fragmented families, as a scoped case study. This methodology investigated the challenges of its residents and proceeded with recommendations to improve their quality of life. These guidelines may be used to all those communities while considering the conditions of each region. As a conclusion, improving the quality of life in informal settlements includes ensuring that resident’s academic, economic, environmental, and socio-cultural issues are addressed.

Phẫu thuật cắt hoại tử bỏng và ghép da thường được thực hiện trên bệnh nhân bỏng sâu diện rộng. Phẫu thuật này gây mất máu nhiều. Do đó, đòi hỏi theo dõi sát và điều trị kịp thời các rối loạn huyết động. Gần đây với phương pháp theo dõi cung lượng tim theo nguyên lý siêu âm (Ultrasonic cardiac output monitor - USCOM) giúp theo dõi huyết động không xâm lấn.Tại Bệnh viện Bỏng quốc gia Lê Hữu Trác, phương pháp này đã được áp dụng để hỗ trợ điều chỉnh huyết động trên các bệnh nhân sốc bỏng, sốc nhiễm khuẩn huyết, đánh giá thay đổi huyết động tiền gánh, hậu gánh và tại tim ở khoa Hồi sức cấp cứu; nhưng phương pháp này lại chưa được áp dụng trong việc theo dõi huyết động ở các bệnh nhân trong quá trình phẫu thuật cắt hoại tử bỏng ghép da.Do đó, trong nghiên cứu này chúng tôi bước đầu khảo sát sự biến đổi một số thông số huyết động thông qua 8 trường hợp phẫu thuật cắt hoại tử bỏng ghép da được sử dụng phương pháp theo dõi cung lượng tim theo nguyên lý siêu âm.Qua nghiên cứu 8 trường hợp cắt hoại tử bỏng ghép da bước đầu chúng tôi nhận thấy các thông số biến thiên thể tích nhát bóp (SVV), sức cản mạch hệ thống (SVR) đều cao hơn giá trị bình thường tương ứng với khoảng tuổi, trái lại thể tích nhát bóp (SV), chỉ số thể tích nhát bóp (SVI) thấp hơn giá trị bình thường tương ứng với khoảng tuổi. Tuy nhiên các thông số cung lượng tim (CO), chỉ số tim (CI) đều nằm trong giá trị bình thường tương ứng với khoảng tuổi tại năm thời điểm nghiên cứu.
