Malocclusion and Hair Loss: An Intimate Relationship
Authors: Dye Brian
Published: February 2020

A large array of research has been, and continues to be conducted to determine the causative agent for hair loss. Traditionally such investigation has focused on a number of varying topics, including but not limited to chromosome composition, genotype, and subsequent phenotype expression. However, little or no investigation has been conducted to deduce what effect the skeletal relationship has upon the initial development of hair loss. Through a series of observational case studies, it is evident that there is a relationship between malocclusion and hair loss. Specifically, through analysis of dental records, cephalometric radiographs, and visual observation of patients, there appears to be a correlation between Class II Skeletal malocclusion and subsequent hair loss. Further investigation yields that vascular anatomical differences between different skeletal schemes is associated with the development of hair loss

Published: February 2020

The structural development interventions carried out by the European Union (EU) aim to accelerate the real convergence of 28 Member States, mainly those lagging behind interventions. Most of these contribute to better environmental protection,  better life condition for farmers and flood protection. Evaluation of infrastructure projects contributing to spatial growth in ex-ante, ongoing, and ex-post basis is an essential activity to answer several issues raised during the growth mentioned above process. This paper aims to evaluate on ex-post basis integrated developmental interventions-large scale infrastructure projects in rural areas, using a combined method based on Social Cost-Benefit Analysis (SCBA), sustainable and rural growth indicators coming from official organizations along with the n-Dimensional (nD) modelling. The studied developmental interventions refer to Vistonida's rural area, an area to which large-scale infrastructure financed and carried out by the Greek state. They contributed to the modernization and adaptation of the agriculture sector, improving its qualitative and quantitative performance. The needed data derived from the Hellenic National Statistical Services, Ministry of Agriculture, Greek Payment Authority of Common Agricultural Policy (C.A.P.) and concern a period of forty years and they are referred to Land redistribution, irrigation land, crops structure. According to this study, the large-scale agriculture infrastructure contributes significantly to the improvement of the growth rates of a rural spatial productive system as a whole. The application of the combined method was simple, easily understood by policymakers, adequately reliable, and precise.
O direito à cidade achado nas ruas metropolitanas brasileiras
Authors: Schvarsberg Benny
Published: February 2020

Nesta abordagem propomos uma reflexão sobre a aproximação entre o entendimento do Direito à Cidade e o Direito Achado na Rua especialmente o que chamo de Rua Metropolitana no Brasil. O que seria buscar garantir o direito à cidade pelo viés do Direito Achado na Rua Metropolitana, e como o marco jurídico e urbanístico brasileiro tem sido construído e desconstruído nesse sentido? Quais os limites e desafios para os que pesquisam o Direito à Cidade no Brasil? Para compor essa narrativa abordaremos inicialmente os conceitos dos 3 “direitos” - Direito à Cidade, a especificidade de Direito achado na rua metropolitana, e o Direito Urbanístico, para apontar a correlação proposta na perspectiva dos limites e desafios para que os dois primeiros possam incidir com maior efetividade para avançarmos no terceiro.Palavras-chave: Direito à cidade.

Las dinámicas actuales de los medios escritos a nivel mundial están marcadas por los fenómenos que afectan nuestra vida cotidiana de una manera que era impredecible hace veinte años. Aunque en ese momento ya se contaba con los teléfonos celulares, la Internet y otras tecnologías que facilitaban la comunicación entre las personas de las diferentes partes del mundo, y se disponía de la inmediatez en la información por medio de las antenas móviles que permitieron, por ejemplo, la transmisión en directo de la guerra del Golfo en el año 1990. En ese momento también contábamos con los computadores personales que permitían el almacenamiento y procesamiento de datos en importante volumen por los usuarios individuales, y aunque se comenzaba a recoger evidencia sobre el calentamiento global, muy pocos alcanzaban a imaginar el crecimiento exponencial de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones, y el calentamiento global que hemos presenciado en este siglo.Hoy, en la segunda década del siglo XXI, disponemos de programas informáticos y dispositivos que permiten la comunicación entre las personas en diferentes lugares del mundo en tiempo real. Entre los dispositivos se encuentran aquellos que integran las tabletas y los teléfonos móviles que nos permiten, además de la comunicación, disponer de la información que necesitamos de manera inmediata, ya sea el correo electrónico, la prensa escrita, enciclopedias libres en varios idiomas editadas en colaboración y otras múltiples aplicaciones de juegos, música, videos, etc. Estos dispositivos y programas han permitido el desarrollo de redes sociales que actúan no solo alimentando páginas como el caso de Wikipedia, sino también desarrollos como Facebook que permiten múltiples aplicaciones muy populares entre los jóvenes, o más recientemente Twitter, muy utilizado por los políticos para lanzar cortos mensajes a la red de usuarios que se considera alcanzan los 200 millones en la actualidad. Estas redes se han convertido en un fenómeno capaz de generar movimientos sociales antes impensables como la conocida Primavera Árabe que se inicia en 2010. Por otra parte, la digitalización de imágenes y documentos nos posibilita disponer de bases de datos, mapas y fotografías, como los que se encuentran en Google, que nos permiten visitar muchos sitios o viajar por la historia de manera detallada o mejorar las predicciones de los escenarios futuros.
İSRAİL DEVLETİ’NİN KUDÜS’Ü BAŞKENTİ İLAN ETME KARARININ TÜRK BASININDA YANSIMALARI
Authors: Koç Malike Bileydi
Published: February 2020

Ortadoğu, tarih boyunca dünya devletleri için önem taşıyan stratejik bir bölge olmuştur. Bu nedenle kriz merkezi olarak ifade edilebilecek bu bölgedeki gelişmeler, domino etkisiyle dünya devletlerinin gündeminde de yer almaktadır. Ortadoğu’ya ilişkin yaşanan sorunlardan birisini, İsrail-Filistin anlaşmazlığı oluşturmaktadır. Aynı coğrafya üzerinde tarihsel ve dinsel gerekçelere dayandırılan iki toplum arasındaki bu çatışma, uzlaşmazlıkları ve çözümsüzlükleri de beraberinde getirmiştir. İsrail-Filistin arasındaki anlaşmazlığın önemli başlıkları arasında, sınır sorunları, yerleşim bölgeleri, mülteciler, güvenlik, Filistin’in tanınırlığı, dünya devletlerinin bloklaşması gibi konular yer almaktadır. Her iki toplum için siyasi tartışma konusu olan başlıklardan bir diğeri de Kudüs’ün statüsü konusudur. Hem İsrail hem de Filistin için Kudüs, kutsallık arz etmektedir. Bu nedenle, her iki toplum Kudüs’ü kendi başkentleri olarak görmektedir. Bu anlaşmazlığı tırmandıran karar ise, İsrail Devleti’nin Kudüs’ü başkenti ilan etme kararı olmuştur. 30 Temmuz 1980 yılında İsrail Parlamentosu tarafından kabul edilen kanunda, “Kudüs tam ve birleşik olarak İsrail’in başkentidir”, ifadesi yer almaktadır. Bu karar, iki toplum arasında anlaşmaya varmayı daha zorlaştırdığı gibi dünya devletlerinin pozisyonunu da güçleştirmiştir. Çünkü sorun salt siyasal sebeplere değil, dini ve tarihi gerekçelere de dayandırılmaktadır. Siyasal, tarihi ve dini tartışmaların odağında bulunan Kudüs’ün statüsü, dünya gündeminin önemli sorunları arasında yer almasının yanında doğal olarak Türkiye Cumhuriyeti için de özel bir anlam taşımaktadır. Dolayısıyla İsrail Devleti’nin Kudüs’ün statüsü konusunda aldığı bu karar Türkiye’de de büyük yankı yapmıştır.
Bu çalışma, iki toplum arasında gerginliğe yol açan, dolayısıyla tüm dünyada yankı uyandıran, İsrail Devleti’nin Kudüs’ü kendi başkenti ilan etme kararının Türk toplumundaki yansımalarını basın perspektifinden değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, alınan karar ile ilgili Türk basınında yer alan haberler analiz edilerek şekillendirilmiştir. Farklı yayın politikalarına sahip gazeteler seçilerek, söz konusu gazetelerin Kudüs kararını değerlendiriş biçimi ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmış, ilgili haberlerde parlamento kararının ne şekilde ifade edildiği belirlenmeye çalışılarak elde edilen bulgular değerlendirmeye alınmıştır.

Published: February 2020

Increased industrialization and human activities have impacted on the environment through disposal waste containing heavy metals. Heavy metals pollution of agricultural soil has been mainly due to the disposal of industrial wastewater, sewage and sewage sludge to agricultural land. Conventional methods for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions are not economically and environmental friendly because it has produced massive quantity of toxic chemical compounds. Naturally fungi have a large variety of extracellular proteins, organic acids and other metabolites. Fungi can adapt in any ecosystems and any environmental conditions Interest in processes involving heavy metal uptake by microorganisms has increased considerably in recent years due to the biotechnological potential of micro-organisms in removing and/or recovery of metals.

Authors: Singh Hema , Singh Ashutosh K. , Singh J. S.
Published: February 2020

Street trees are a valuable resource for a city, because of the lower ambient temperatures, mitigate urban heat island effects, reduce runoff of rainwater and the abundance of aerial particulate matter, add visual appeal to the urban landscape and store and sequester a significant amount of carbon from the ambient CO2. We quantified carbon storage and sequestration by street trees in the campus of Banaras Hindu University located within a highly crowded city of India. Street trees in the BHU campus account for 9.8 × 107 kg stem biomass and stored 4.6 × 107 kg carbon in the stems. By interpolating the electricity resource unit values campus street trees stored 7.3 × 107 KWH energy. These trees, of course, have to be properly managed for maintaining their vigor and function.

Authors: Bajpai Rajesh , Shukla Vertika , Pandey Upasana , Upreti D. K.
Published: February 2020

Arsenic (As) contamination of groundwater is a serious threat to human health. Apart from anthropogenic sources, favorable geological conditions also result in elevation of the arsenic problem in Asia, especially in South East Asia. More than 100 million people in South East Asian countries especially Bangladesh, West Bengal (India), Vietnam, China, drink and cook with arsenic-contaminated water, which causes chronic health problems for a long time. A large number of mechanism for removing As from drinking water includes the use of filters, which differ in their efficiency and applicability. In the present study, we propose the use of biofilters prepared from lichen biowaste for removal of arsenic from contaminated water. Six lichen species were tested for the applicability as biofilters. The physicochemical analysis confirmed the presence of high elemental (C, N, H, O) content in the treated lichen species. It was observed that species having high elemental content were able to remove arsenic more effectively.
Silicon in Plant Structure and Inorganic C-Sequestration
Authors: Prasad Rajendra
Published: February 2020

On the planet earth silicon is next only to oxygen in abundance. It is ubiquitous and is present in soil, water and air and biological systems from algae to human population. It is removed by crops in amounts larger than primary plant nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and imparts several advantages to plants, such as, strength in straw in rice to prevent it from lodging and protection to crop plants against drought, salinity, toxicity of micronutrients and heavy elements, certain diseases, chewing insects and large herbivores yet it is not considered as an essential plant nutrient. However, Si is essential for diatoms and many other sea animals, which play a vital role in Si-cycle in the sea. Si helps in C-sequestration and plays an important role in maintaining the atmospheric CO2 low, but this fact is not well realized.

Published: February 2020

India is the largest producer of pulses in the world, with 25% share in the global production. The leading pulse producing states are Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The important pulse crops are chickpea (48%), pigeon pea (15%), mung bean (7%), urdbean (7%) and lentil (5%). In the present communication, a survey was conducted from 2015 to 2016 of pigeon pea fields in eighteen locations at Agra, Prayagraj, Aligarh, Basti and Hardoi, districts. The pathogens isolated from pigeon pea plants were Fusarium udum., Sclerotinia rolfsii and Rhizoctonia solani mainly. Physically the textures of soil samples were found clay to sandy at several places among them sandy soil was dominating. Moisture content varied from 6.58 to 11.25%. During the course of study it became evident that pigeon pea (leguminous) plants were found to be wilting. It is also evident that the percent occurrence of wilted pigeon pea plants in different villages of the five districts was in the range of 6.03%-16.01%, whereas, the average wilting occurrence among the district varied from 9.03%-14.5%. Basti district showed maximum percentage of wilt occurrence (14.5%) while Agra, Prayagraj, Aligarh, and Hardoi showed 9.05%, 12.5%, 9.3% and 9.35%, respectively. It was also found that pH of the soil also affected diseases development. As in the fields having pH range of 6.5-8.0, the plants were found to be infected with wilt disease. However, at pH 5.0-6.5 the diseases could not be detected. In Basti, Prayagraj and Aligarh, due to alkaline pH (7.45-7.68) wilting disease on pigeon pea plants occurred frequently. Sandy loam favoured pigeon pea wilt. Sandy loams provide sufficient aeration in the rhizosphere of pigeon pea, which may be required for population build up of inoculum concentration of Fusarium leading to high incidence of wilt.

There were surveyed 523 schoolchildren of educational institutions of the Tula region. Children are divided into three groups with pronounced, moderate and optimal intensity factors of the school environment. For assessing the damage to health, morbidity indices of negotiability, data of preventive medical examinations, characteristics of physical development were used. Results. Objects with an average and significant level of the potential risk of harm to health prevail among the children’s organizations in the country. The class of danger, the severity of the consequences for the health of the population exposed are the basis of the existing risk-oriented model of state control. An innovative approach to the hygienic assessment of sanitary and epidemiological well-being, taking into account the influence of a complex of factors of the intraschool environment, critical age periods of maturation of the child’s body, risks to children’s health, is proposed. In the examined children, violations of posture and vision, diseases of the nervous system, alimentary-dependent diseases, etc. were established to prevail. The greatest potential risk to health is caused by the influence of factors of the educational environment and the educational process, lifestyle. Conclusion. The use of the proposed methodological approach will allow solving complex tasks in the environment-health system: to identify the leading health problems and potential risk factors; the formation of risk-oriented programs for the health of children and adolescents.

Published: February 2020

Introduction. Changes in the education system have an impact on the health of schoolchildren. Purpose. To study the dependence of the adaptive capacity of schoolchildren studying in schools of various types on the intensity of educational work. Material and methods. The adaptive abilities of the organism of children (aged 7-17 years) were studied in conditions of different intensity of the educational process. There were surveyed 472 cases from traditional schools, 482 people - from specialized schools. We evaluated the statistical significance of the differences in quantitative (Student t-test) and qualitative traits (χ2). The relationship was studied using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results. The intensity of educational work accounted for 3.6-3.8 points in 52 ± 2.4% of students in specialized type; 1.6-3.5 - in traditional schools. Intellectual loading is the most sensitive index when training in programs with a specialized study of subjects. The adaptive potential of students of specialized schools in a state of functional stress in the lower grades is found by 1.8 times (p < 0.002), on average - 2.2 times (p < 0.001), more often than in traditional schools. However, the proportion of children with functional stress in the upper grades does not differ (22-27%). A high direct correlation was found between the values of the adaptive potential and intellectual loads. Conclusion. Criteria for learning loads requiring a review of their volume in the curriculum of specialized schools are identified. The negative impact of school loads on the adaptive capabilities of a growing organism has been proven.

Published: February 2020

A água é um bem imprescindível para sobrevivência e desenvolvimento dos seres vivos, e sua qualidade pode ser diretamente relacionada à saúde daqueles que a consomem ou utilizam. Nesse sentido, para minimizar os riscos de agentes biológicos presentes nas águas, a radiação ultravioleta (UV-C, 254 nm) é uma importante alternativa de desinfecção, pois inativa o material genético dos microrganismos sem o uso de oxidantes químicos. Portanto, no presente estudo objetivou-se a construção de um fotorreator UV de baixo custo e a análise de sua eficiência na desinfecção de água. Inicialmente, foram pesquisados sistemas comerciais que empregam a radiação UV para finalidade proposta. Em seguida procedeu-se a construção do fotorreator com materiais alternativos e a análise da sua eficiência na desinfecção de três amostras de efluente sanitário tratado, provenientes da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre - RS. A eficiência de desinfecção foi avaliada por meio da comparação da contagem de microrganismos crescidos em placas de Petri contendo ágar MacConkey, durante 48 h a 36 ºC, após operação do fotorreator em batelada, em diferentes tempos: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 e 21 minutos, além de um controle com a água da companhia de abastecimento. Os resultados foram avaliados por ANOVA, seguido de teste Tukey ao nível de 5% de probabilidade.  Como resultados, tem-se a montagem do fotorreator de 15 W em PVC, de 1,6 L, ao custo total de R$ 137,88, ou seja, equivalente a 53,05% do custo de outro fotorreator disponível via e-commerce, de dimensões inferiores. As análises das amostras do efluente, nos tempos de detenção descritos, indicaram que não houve diferença estatística entre as UFC mL-1 da água fornecida pela companhia de abastecimento e o efluente após desinfecção por 9 minutos no fotorreator. Também se verificou redução significativa no número de colônias nos 3 primeiros minutos de operação do reator. Contudo, pode-se inferir que o melhor tempo de detenção hidráulica foi de 15 minutos, tendo em vista a maior redução da concentração de UFC mL-1 que foi de 99,25% em relação ao efluente estudado. Portanto, conclui-se que o sistema pode ser empregado na desinfecção de águas residuárias ou como solução para regiões onde não há tratamento adequado.
PERCEPÇÃO AMBIENTAL E EXTRATIVISMO DA MANGABEIRA: UM ESTUDO EM COMUNIDADES DO RIO GRANDE DO NORTE
Authors: Oliveira Kívia Soares de , Aloufa Magdi Ahmed Ibrahim
Published: February 2020

Nas últimas décadas, a ação antropogênica e o aumento da degradação ambiental intensificaram a vulnerabilidade da mangabeira em diversas regiões do Nordeste. Nesse contexto, o conhecimento das populações locais através do estudo da percepção ambiental pode contribuir para conservação da espécie, por viabilizar melhor compreensão da sustentabilidade e atividades antrópicas atuantes na região. Este estudo buscou analisar a percepção ambiental de catadores de mangaba em comunidades rurais do Rio Grande do Norte. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados foram: 1) Visitas de campo; 2) observação participante; 3) entrevistas semiestruturadas e 4) técnica de saturação teórica dos dados. Como resultado, constatou-se que a coleta de mangaba é realizada predominantemente por mulheres com idade entre 41 a 60 anos. A maioria possui ensino fundamental incompleto e renda média mensal de um salário mínimo. A percepção dos catadores indica que eles possuem conhecimentos em relação à mangabeira, apresentam alta dependência de seus recursos e percebem que os mesmos estão se exaurindo. A redução das áreas remanescentes de mangabeira, a restrição de acesso aos locais de coleta e as dificuldades de comercialização são apontados como os principais desafios para o desenvolvimento do extrativismo na região. As comunidades de Timbó e Boa Água apresentam boa atuação na conservação da mangabeira, porém precisam ser utilizadas estratégias para integrar a conservação dos recursos genéticos e culturais, como por exemplo, programas de capacitação organizacional para beneficiamento da mangaba. Palavras-chave: Populações locais.

Judi Dench and Shakespearean Personas in the Twenty First Century
Authors: Duncan Sophie
Published: February 2020

Dame Judi Dench’s twenty-first-century theatrical career has defied the expectation that her performance as the Countess in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2003 All’s Well That Ends Well would signal the culmination and conclusion of her stage acting career. This article draws on scholarship on the use of retrospection and persona-building to redirect attention from Dench’s conspicuously ‘late’ success in film to map how Dench has led, collaborated in and resisted public constructions of her persona. Shakespeare has been consistently key to this process. While enlisting persona-building strategies inherited from her Shakespearean forebears, Dench has resisted the overt appointment of any kind of Shakespearean ‘successor’ and thus the continuation of Shakespeare performance genealogies. Simultaneously, her role choices have contributed to her persona’s accrued significance as an avatar of moral virtue and authenticity – augmented by her association with the ‘national poet’, Shakespeare, as England’s most prestigious playwright. The article also examines Dench’s persona specifically as an ageing actress, and her significance for discourses of aspirational ageing, ageism, and national investments in the ageing female performer as a public persona.
The Institutional Persona: When Theatres Become Personas and the Case of Bristol Old Vic
Authors: Sedgman Kirsty
Published: February 2020

This article proposes a definition and terminology for identifying and analysing a concept of institutional persona in relation to theatre. The essay posits the theatre institution as an example of a ‘composite persona’, whereby cultural value is produced through the interplay between theatre as building, theatre as organisation, and theatre as event. Using the case-study of Bristol Old Vic, I examine how executives and practitioners involved in a specific historic theatre ensured its post-war survival in the 1940s by connecting the prestigious heritage of a local landmark with the national reputation of two London-based organisations. I suggest that theatre institutions offer a particularly rich investigative ground for the application of persona study theory in their need to mobilise individual and organisational personas for the purposes of reinventing a ‘good story’ and brand over time.
Hannah Gadsby: Celebrity Stand Up, Trauma, and the Meta Theatrics of Persona Construction
Authors: Luckhurst Mary
Published: February 2020

This essay examines the work of stand-up performer Hannah Gadsby in relation to persona, extending the conventional reach of persona studies to the realm of live performance and comedy. The author analyses Hannah Gadsby’s risky decision to kill off her widely adored comic persona in her 2017 show Nanette, replacing it with a persona that shot her to global celebrity and changed the power dynamics with her audiences. The essay investigates Gadsby’s contention that stand-up is bad for her mental health and is predicated on an abusive relationship with audiences. It considers her strategies of comic unmaking and remaking in the contexts of women working in a sexist industry within misogynist societies. It also interrogates Gadsby’s dramaturgies of foregrounding persona creation and the performative dialogic of ‘face’ or ‘mask.’ Gadsby’s postmodern deconstruction of her own comic artistry and her exposure of the limits of stand-up as a form are examined through a new concept of meta-persona.
