Published: July 2022

Importance of Work –The main purpose of this paper is to understand the history of Indian railways and what would be the possible advantages and disadvantages from these privatization programs and also to highlight the recent initiatives of Indian government to provide better facilities with the support of private investors without leaving its social objectives. Abastract-With the introduction of liberalization and privatization market expanded by manifold but due to many social objectives Indian railway was deprived for many decades from this privatization programmer. In India Indian railways are credited for serving the largest democracy in the world. Recently for the trial purpose Indian railway catering and tourism corporation started Tejas express which was partially privatized. According to Arvind subhramanyan if you invest one rupees in Indian railway it will generate five rupees in the economy. There is another proposal of a National rail plan for India it is a 30 year plan from 2021 to 2051, which envisages investments of 38.5 lakh crore for the larger need of fund government open up foreign direct investment through automatic route which means buyer or investor does not require prior approval from the reserve bank of India.
Teaching The Bridge of San Luis Rey and Wilder’s Other Novels
Authors: Konkle Lincoln
Published: July 2022

This article attempts to persuade readers who are teachers to consider teaching The Bridge of San Luis Rey and Wilder’s other novels. Some may fear the style, structure, and historical setting of The Bridge would be off-putting for twenty-first-century students, but in the author’s own experience, students find Wilder’s philosophical narration thought-provoking and moving, similar to how audiences respond to Wilder’s most famous play, Our Town. The Bridge and other Wilder novels can be taught in courses on Modern American Literature, The Novel, Introduction to Literature, Religion and Literature, Philosophy and Literature, World Literature, and, of course, a seminar on Wilder. Student response to the author’s Wilder course has always been enthusiastic. When teaching The Bridge, the author focuses on three topics: Providence versus randomness in the fall of the bridge, unrequited love, and the view of time or history. The author describes how he has students explore the Providence versus randomness issue in a group discussion, applying four different criteria within the novel itself to major and minor characters. In the next section of his article, the author summarizes Wilder’s other six novels and suggest the kinds of courses for which they might be useful.
The Universe Within Four Walls
Authors: Gunn Tony
Published: July 2022

Thornton Wilder’s Pullman Car Hiawatha is a highly useful text for teaching ideas of theatricality and theatrical space, especially to Introduction to Theatre students. This article first explores intellectual, physical, and spiritual space, detailing how Wilder peels back the layers of lived existence to show how much of the world we do not perceive or simply misunderstand. The article then describes how performing a concert reading with students during class time, although sometimes chaotic, helps them understand the complexity of the text and the importance of performance space in creating meaning within a theatrical work.
VARIABILITY OF THE SOLBLE ROCKS PROPERTIES NEAR SURFACE KARST FORMS IN THE AREA OF CARBONATE-SULPHATE KARST DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Perm State University, laboratory of engineering and environmental research of the faculty of geology, Drobinina E.V.
Published: July 2022

The properties of soluble rocks in the karst area within the Dobryanskiy district of Perm Krai are studied. The research area is located in the region of carbonate-sulfate karst development with a wide distribution of surface karst forms. The change in the content of carbonates, gypsum and anhydrite in the soluble rocks depending on the distance from the surface karst forms is evaluated. The change in the carbonate softening coefficient, that is characterized the ability of soils to reduce their strength after water saturation, is analyzed, as well. The tendency of the research parameters changes depending on the distance from the surface karst forms was determined and the conclusion about the presence of non-linear functional dependence between the research parameters was made. The dependences were approximated to get predictive equations. With the use of the equations on the raster models, that were built by interpolation of the special values of the studied parameters, the potentially karst susceptibility intervals are selected. These zones are also recommended to outline during the territory zonation as areas unfavorable with respect to the karst.

Trapezofori romani in Italia Settentrionale. I monopodia figurati
Authors: Bacchetta Alberto
Published: July 2022

I trapezofori costituiscono uno degli arredi più caratteristici delle residenze romane, in cui sono ampiamente attestati secondo una grande varietà di forme e tipologie. I monopodia a figura umana rappresentano la categoria più raffinata e ricercata della classe, presentandosi come delle vere e proprie sculture, sia pur di ridotte dimensioni, che vanno ad inserirsi all’interno dell’universo figurativo domestico, contribuendo ad arricchirne l’immaginario iconografico e visivo. Tali dinamiche sono rilevabili anche nel contesto nord-italico, nonostante il numero limitato di attestazioni note, come testimonianza della ricezione anche in questo ambito di istanze artistiche e culturali ampiamente diffuse nel mondo romano.
Evidence in administrative proceedings - proof by audio-visual record, proof by the content of the website and other means of proof lacking explicit regulation in the Code of Administrative Procedure
Authors: Frumarová Kateřina
Published: July 2022

Evidence is one of the most important parts of any administrative procedure. The Czech Administrative Procedure Code contains the basic legal regulation of evidence in administrative proceedings and a demonstrative list of evidence. The administrative authorities are therefore not limited in the proceedings to the explicitly stated means of proof. However, the fundamental problem is that the Administrative Procedure Code regulates the implementation of only those means of proof which it expressly mentions. The Administrative Procedure Code is completely silent in relation to other means of proof and the course of their implementation. Nevertheless, in many cases, administrative authorities also need to take other means of proof (not regulated by the Administrative Procedure Code), in particular proof by means of an audiovisual recording or proving the content of websites. The author will therefore focus on answering the questions that cause the greatest problems in this context in practice: “What rules must be followed in obtaining this evidence in order to be legal evidence? Under what conditions and by what procedure should the administrative authorities take this evidence? To what extent can analogy be followed in the implementation of this evidence? The answers to these questions will be demonstrated mainly in relation to the audiovisual evidence and the evidence of the content of the website. This is because of the evidence that is gaining in frequency and importance with regard to the development of modern society and information technology. Based on the analysis of the current administrative practice and case law, de lege ferenda proposals will also be formulated in relation to the current (non)regulation of this evidence in the Administrative Procedure Code.
Environmental sustainability in the regulation of electronic communications
Authors: Mester Máté
Published: July 2022

Creating climate-neutral electronic communications is a shared responsibility for the industry and urgent action is needed in the face of warming trends due to global climate change. Despite this, environmental sustainability in the regulation of the electronic communications sector in Hungary has not yet received sufficient attention, nor has there been any related research, articles or studies. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to fill this gap, to review the relevant international, EU and domestic regulatory situation and trends, to provide a comprehensive and high-level picture of sustainability initiatives in the electronic communications sector and to evaluate it in order to suggest possible directions for domestic regulatory action. It is hoped that this will serve as a starting point for launching a discourse in the industry and for properly positioning the green transition in electronic communications regulation.

Cystic lymphangiomas are extremely rare benign vascular neoplasms generally found in childhood. Thought to arise from obstructed lymphatic channels during development, but may also arise secondary to trauma, inflammation, malignancy, and surgery or radiation exposure. They are usually seen in the head and neck or axillary region, and rarely in the abdominal cavity with only 1% occurring in the retroperitoneum. These are typically asymptomatic lesions incidentally identified by computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound. Complete surgical resection with histologic confirmation of the diagnosis is the treatment of choice.We present a case of a 27-year-old woman with multiple cystic lymphangiomas in retroperitoneum, discovered incidentally by ultrasound during pregnancy.

Action research methods was applied where multiple choice questions were deployed for pre-evaluation. There were 10 pupils who participated in this study. The result showed that they performed very poor in all dimensions of reading comprehension, However, the intervention was done after 8 weeks through interviews, there was a significant increase in their performance. Thus, the reading program changed the lives of the pupils. It was an effective approach based on the different activities provided by the teacher. Aside from that, her presence made a difference because they were able to ask questions that are difficult to be done just by themselves. Therefore, teachers played a crucial role during the time of the uncertainties in helping their learners enhance their reading skills in language.
Anti-Hypertensive Effects of Anthocyanins from Hibiscus sabdarifa Calyx on the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldoslestrone System in Wistar Rats

Published: July 2022

Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) has gained attention as an anti-hypertensive agent. In the present study, we hypothesized that anthocyanins from HS may attenuate salt-induced hypertension in rats by suppressing the components of renin-angiotensin-aldoslestrone system (RAAS). Hypertension was induced in the rats by adding 8% NaCl in their diet for six weeks. Wistar rats (n=5 each) were randomly divided into seven groups. Group 1 was the normentensive control group and was fed with normal rat chew and water ad libitum; groups 2 and 3 served as hypertensive control (negative untreated and positive treated with captopril 30mg/kg respectively); groups 4, 5, and 6 served as treatment groups and were administered with graded doses of anthocyanins( 50, 100, 200mg/kg respectively) while group 7 received both 100mg anthocyanins and 30mg captopril per day for 4 weeks. Using HPLC, anthocyanins were isolated from HS calyx following standard protocol. Anthocyanins significantly (p<0.05) reduced blood pressure and heart rate in hypertensive rats in a dose dependent manner. The blood pressure reduction by anthocyanins was associated with a reduction in serum ACE and plasma aldosterone in the hypertensive rats. The effects of anthocyanins on blood pressure and on biomarkers of RAAS were similar to those of captopril, a reference anti-hypertensive drug. The results suggest that anthocyanins exerts a significant (p<0.05) anti-hypertensive potency on rats, probably mediated by the reduction in components of the RAAS. Keywords: hypertension, anthocyanins, renin, aldosterone, rats

Published: July 2022

The aqueous calyx extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) is widely consumed as a beverage in Northern Nigeria and other parts of the world. HS has been reported to lower blood pressure (BP) in animals and man. However, not much is known about the effect of HS on BP in different postures. We tested the hypothesis that HS may lower BP, heart rate (HR) and heart rate-pressure product or double product (DP) by attenuating the discharge of the autonomic nervous system in different postures. Experiments were performed in accordance with the Principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Following ethical approval and informed consent, BP and HR were measured in different postures (supine, sitting and standing) in apparently healthy human subjects (n=20) before and after (+HS) the oral administration of 15mg/Kg HS. Mean arterial pressure (MAP; taken as representative BP) and DP were calculated. Results are expressed as mean ±SEM. Paired t test and ANOVA with a post hoc Bonferroni test were used for statistical analyses. P<0.05 was considered significant. In the supine position MAP, HR and DP were significantly (P<0.0001 each) reduced in the presence of HS (85.6±1.7mmHg, 72.1±1.1/min and 8716±320mmHg.bpm) compared to its absence (89.6±2.0mmHg, 73.7±1.6/min and 8921±444mmHg.bpm). Similar trends were observed in the sitting position in the presence of HS (85.4±2.7mmHg, 73.7±1.8/min and 9098±345mmHg.bpm vs its absence: 91.4±2.3mmHg, 77.1±1.9/min and 9388±478mmHg.bpm; P<0.0001, P<0.0001 and P=0.007 respectively) and in the standing position (+HS: 89.3±2.0mmHg,         78.1±1.8/min and 10164±230mmHg.bpm vs its absence: 94.3±2.1mmHg, 81.8±2.3/min and 10742±268mmHg.bpm; P<0.0001, P<0.0001 and P=0.007 respectively). In the absence of HS, HR and DP were significantly higher in the standing posture (81.8±2.3/min, 10742±268mmHg.bpm) compared to the sitting (77.1±1.9/min, 9388±478mmHg.bpm; P<0.05 and P<0.0001 respectively) and the supine (73.7±1.6/min, 8921±444mmHg.bpm; P<0.001 each) postures while the BP remained similar. A similar trend was observed across          the three postures in the presence of HS although the parameters were significantly lower. It is concluded that HS lowered BP, HR and DP by modulating autonomic mechanisms through the inhibition of both parasympathetic withdrawal and sympathetic nervous system discharge across the postures. Also the standing posture is associated more with a higher sympathetic nervous system discharge and a higher cardiac oxygen demand and workload than the sitting and supine postures in the absence or presence of HS.

Tobacco, which is a product of Nicotiana tabacum, has nicotine as its principal phytochemical. Nicotine has been reported to be an addictive drug and the leading cause of tobacco addiction worldwide with consequent renal implications. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of the aqueous extract of Nicotiana. tabacum on serum electrolytes, urea and creatinine levels as indices of renal function in male rats. A total of 18 male wistar rats weighing 140-230g were used for this study. The animals were randomly divided into three groups (A, B and C), containing 6 rats each. Group A served as control while Group B and C were orally administered sublethal doses of 20 and 30 mg/kg body weight of the Nicotiana. tabacum extract respectively once per day for three weeks. At the end of the experimental period, all the animals were sacrificed. Blood samples were collected for biochemical assay.The results showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in the serum concentration of sodium, potassium and urea levels of rats treated with the extract when compared with the control. However, serum concentrations of chloride, bicarbonate and creatinine showed no significant appreciable differences between the treated groups and the control group (p<0.05).In conclusion, the study showed that aqueous extract of Nicotiana tabacum is associated with renal dysfunction with consequent hypernatremia and hyperkalemia, and may also suggest impaired urea clearance by the kidneys in male wistar rats.

Authors: Odukanmi Adeola
Published: July 2022

Gastrointestinal dysmotility is a substantial public health challenge globally. Based on previous findings in developed countries, it has been observed that there is an association between diarrhea, constipation, and some cardiovascular variables. This study investigated the effects of experimentally-induced short-term acute constipation and short-term acute diarrhea on certain cardiovascular variables in rats. Thirty (30) male Wistar rats (150 -180 g) were divided into three groups; Control, Diarrhoea, and Constipation. The experiment was carried out in 2 phases, the period after induction and the recovery period, and 5 animals per group were used for each phase. The control group received an equivalent amount of distilled water while Diarrhoea and the Constipation group were induced by oral administration of 2ml Castor oil and administration of Loperamide (3mg/kg, b.d, orally x 3 days), respectively. Cardiovascular variables were assessed using the Edan Scientific® Electrocardiography and  Heart Rate Variability machine. Recovery was allowed for 4 days after the onset of the procedure and cardiovascular parameters were reassessed. Post-induction Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and Heart Rate (HR) significantly increased in constipated rats (153.2 ± 2.9 mmHg; 109.0 ± 3.7 mmHg;     123.7 ± 3.2 mmHg; 123.4±5.6 bpm) when compared with the control values (95.5±4.8 mmHg; 61.2 ± 3.5 mmHg; 72.6 ± 3.6 mmHg; 72.3 ± 5.2 bpm), respectively. The recovery SBP, DBP, MAP, and Heart Rate in the constipated group remained significantly higher compared to the control. Diarrhea had no significant effect on the parameters determined in both post-induction and recovery phases. The electrical activities did not change in both experimental groups compared to the control. This study revealed increased SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR in short-term acute constipated rats but not so with short-term acute experimental diarrhea
The Identity Thief: How Politics, Religion, and Values Stole Support for Sexual Assault Reporting and the #MeToo Movement
Authors:   Weber State University, Morris R.C. , LeCount Ryan Jerome ,   Hamline University
Published: July 2022

In 2017, the hashtag #MeToo emerged as a sign of protest and solidarity challenging the status quo of sexual assault underreporting. Over the next year, reported cases of sexual assault increased by 86.5% (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2014-2018). As it began, #MeToo experienced broad support from across American society. Inflection points have tested this support, as for example, in Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony before congress (Wright et al., 2021). In an increasingly polarized era, we examine the role that self-reported political identity, participation with a religious community, and value-identities of Conformity, Security, and Tradition play in shaping attitudes about sexual assault reporting and the #MeToo movement. Our findings suggest that religiosity and political identity is complexly correlated with the increasingly politicized #MeToo movement. We also find that support for sexaul assault reporting and the #MeToo moment gets filtered through value-identities of Conformity, Security, and Tradition with the aggregate effect stifling support. We conclude that identities shaped by conservative politics, androcentric religious traditions, and values oriented toward Conformity, Security, and Tradition serve as foundational social psychological factors needing additional attention, as emerging research investigates the potential for movements increasingly defined by identity divisions, for example, rising Christian Nationalism and related protests.

Hubungan Antara Ta’zir Dan UU Nomor 5 Tahun 1999 Tentang Larangan Praktek Monopoli Dan Persaingan Usaha Tidak Sehat
Authors: Nainunis
Published: July 2022

Tulisan ini ingin mengkaji hubungan antara ta’zir dan UU nomor 5 tahun 1999  tentang larangan praktek monopoli dan persaingan usaha tidak sehat, karena sejauh penelusuran dalam beberapa kitab fiqh penulis tidak menemukan secara komprehensif bentuk hukuman fisik berupa ta’zir bagi pelaku praktek monopoli perdagangan, hanya saja yang dibahas dalam kitab-kitab fiqh adalah hukumnya saja, yaitu haram dan juga ancaman dosa bagi pelakunya. Maka di sini penulis menghubungkan antara undang-undang yang dimaksud dengan konsep ta’zir yang ada dalam kajian fiqh. Setelah penulis menelaah definisi dan konsep ta’zir dari beberapa pendapat para ulama fiqh maka penulis menemukan jawaban bahwa undag-undang tersebut mempunyai persamaan dan perbedaan yang tidak sesuai dengan konsep ta’zir, adapun persamaannya adalah karena sesuai dengan prinsip dasar ta’zir, yaitu ; sebuah proses pendidikan atau lebih tepat disebut proses penyadaran, dan juga tidak keluar dari dhawabit ta’zir, yaitu ; hukuman ta’zir sesuai dengan kadar perbuatan dosa yang dilakukan, Hukuman sesuai dengan kondisi pelaku kejahatan, adanya tahapan dalam menghukumi, pertimbangan dalam ta’zir harus dilihat dari sisi tujuan maslahah, semua jenis kemaksiatan yang tidak ada ukuran hukumannya masuk kedalam hukum ta’zir, pertimbangan dari penjagaan kehormatan manusia, pertimbangan hukuman ta’zir harus ditinjau nash syari’iyah dan kaidahnya, metode penghukuman yang adil dan sesuai. Selain itu juga menjaga tujuan utama dari ta’zir  yaitu ; pertama preventif; mencegah orang lain agar tidak melakukan jarimah, kedua represif; membuat pelaku jera sehingga tidak mengulangi, ketiga kuratif; membawa perbaikan sikap bagi pelaku dan keempat edukatif; memberikan pengajaran dan pendidikan sehingga diharapkan dapat memeperbaiki pola hidup pelaku. Adapun ketidaksesuaian adalah sisi denda dalam bentuk uang, penyitaan harta dan hukuman lain dalam bentuk materi.

Traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysms are rare complications of head injuries following traffic accidents, occurring in less than 1% of all cerebral aneurysms. Most cases are associated with fracture of the skull. Rupture of these traumatic aneurysms occur in up to 50% of all cases and are typically delayed from days to weeks following the initiating trauma. Traumatic pseudoaneurysms are often called a pulsating hematoma, which occurs when the arterial wall is ruptured by trauma and bleeding is confined only by the adventitia or surrounding tissues. Unlike the structure of a true aneurysm, that has all anatomical layers, the wall of a traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysm is composed mainly of blood clot and a small amount of fibrous tissue. Difficult diagnosis, delayed presentation and poor outcomes contribute to overall prognosis of these traumatic intracranial aneurysms.

We investigated the patients with traumatic intracranial aneurysms developed after traffic accidents and treated with endovascular embolization in our Institution, with a review of literature and discussion of management options.

As traumatic intracranial aneurysms may present both diagnostic challenges and surgical difficulties, especially after polytrauma cases, rarely being appropriate for conservative treatment, early and precise diagnosis with cerebral angiography and prompt treatment are essential for good prognosis. Due to its nature to be fragile and prone to rupture, careful and precise endovascular embolization is thus a method of choice for treatment of these pseudoaneurysms.
Estresse social e tratamento com Melatonina: um estudo sobre seus efeitos sobre o desenvolvimento do tumor sólido de Ehrlich
Authors: Vicioli Laura Beatriz de Camargo , Júnior Geraldo Marco Rosa

O estresse social é decorrente de vários fatores presentes no ambiente de trabalho, fatores sociais ou familiares, ocasionando o desenvolvimento de um estresse crônico. Em decorrência disso, o hormônio cortisol produzido na glândula pineal sofre uma alteração em que pode levar a formação de um tumor e consequentemente seu processo angiogênico, aumentando assim o grau de vascularização do mesmo. Este estudo teve como objetivo principal avaliar o processo angiogênico do tumor sólido de Ehrlich em ratos suíços, os quais foram induzidos ao estresse social e juntamente foram fornecidos dosagens de melatonina, com a finalidade de retardar esse processo de crescimento tumoral e avaliar a resposta humoral dos camundongos em relação ao desenvolvimento do tumor. Para isso foram utilizados 30 ratos suíços, machos, com 45 a 60 dias de vida, em que os mesmos foram divididos em 3 grupos de 10: o primeiro grupo apresentou dez animais tratados com 0,1ml de solução fisiológica, via oral, 1x/dia; o segundo grupo conteve dez animais tratados com 30mg/kg de melatonina (SIGMA), via oral, 1x/dia; e o terceiro grupo apresentou dez animais tratados com 30mg/kg de melatonina (SIGMA), via oral, 1x/dia, submetidos ao estresse social. Em seguida, foi realizado uma análise visual do comportamento animal e anotado em planilha específica, em que pode-se perceber uma agitação e irritabilidade maior do grupo G3. Decorridos os vinte e um dias os animais foram eutanasiados com dose letal de Tiopental (150mg/kg de peso animal) e Lidocaína (10mg/ml). Posteriormente foram avaliados as massas e o tecido dos tumores extraídos. Com isso, foi possível perceber uma melhora maior no Grupo G2 em relação aos demais grupos estudados.

As students, we act as agents of change where we must be able to actualize ourselves. One of the forms is by conducting this Field Work Practice. In this case, it is expected to be able to implement and master the theories that have been obtained. Memorizing is an activity by embedding a verbal material in his memory, so that later it can be recalled according to the original material. However, not all children are easy in the memorization process, because children's memory is different. The limited memory of children is very influential in the way a child memorizes. The same thing happened to one of the children at the Al-Jami'yatul Washliyah Orphanage who needed a solution to a problem related to memorization. The process of providing assistance was also carried out in the PKL I mini project activity, using the case work method through the general and general intervention stages. This stage consists of engagement, intake, contract, assessment, planning, intervention, evaluation, and termination. The focus in solving client problems is to use the cool memorization method, namely 3M (Listening, Repeating, Murja'ah) as a strategy designed together to facilitate the memorization process and increase the client's confidence. The purpose of this program was successfully implemented. This can be seen from the development of clients who are already fluent in memorizing surahs and returning to their social functioning in the orphanage environment.

Early adolescence is a period of many changes in children both physically and mentally. During this period, there were many changes in the interactions experienced by individuals and both their families and their social environment. Usually the child will begin to explore himself more which is usually done with his playmates, but on the other hand he will also begin to feel the need for privacy so that he likes to be alone from his family. In a pandemic situation like this, there is a slight shift in children's social interactions, smartphones are an inseparable part of their daily lives, and even become a necessity because they are needed in their education process at school. So that they can no longer be separated from the internet, smartphones and other related things because it has become a habit for them. In this case, the PKL (Field Work Practice) activities to increase children's learning requests that I do will take advantage of this situation through the blended-learning method, which is a learning method that combines online and offline learning using the casework method through several stages consisting of Engagement intake Contract, Assessment. Planning/planning. Evaluation and Termination of Interventions. The focus in this case is to increase children's interest and motivation in learning by utilizing technological advances which have become an inseparable part since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
