BOTANICAL MYTHS: FAKE NEWS OF THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD
Authors: Baron Daniel , Momberg da Silva Carlos Gustavo , Girotto Campos Felipe
Published: August 2021

The myths take many forms depending on the cultures in which we find them; however, their function is always to explain natural phenomena that occur in their surroundings. As observed throughout human history, it is an inherent condition for the human species to believe in the metaphysical and to use their individual and introspective thinking as a way to achieve their dreams and goals, something that works as a responsible 'driving force' in many cases, for governing and inspiring the human individual. Additionally, populations or part of communities that obtain their livelihood and/or subsistence directly from agricultural activity spontaneously express a greater willingness to believe in the 'infallible' agroforestry myths, which explain the possible botanical phenomena. In light of this, our present study lists the main physiological bases refuting different botanical myths based on evidence proven in original articles. Furthermore, our phenomenological approach was carried out in an eclectic way in the field of botany and is not linked to any specific authority or philosophical school. Finally, we explore and integrate different, mutually compatible approaches to provide the reader with a global understanding of the 'infallibility' of botanical myths.

Authors: Singh Prabath , Hariharan Madhu , Varughese Anju , Ravi Arjun B , Haridas Kaushik , Venugopal Krishnan
Published: August 2021

Aim and objective

To compare root microcrack formation after root canal preparation using ProTaper Next in rotation or forward reciprocation and Waveone gold in reverse reciprocating motion.

Materials and methods

Buccal roots of 60 maxillary premolars with mature apices were selected, for different instrumentation techniques and divided into three groups. Coronal access was achieved and the canals were confirmed for apical patency. The canals were then instrumented using the following instrumentation techniques: ProTaper Next in rotation or forward reciprocation or Waveone gold in reverse reciprocation. The tooth was then subjected to sectioning using a diamond saw under water cooling and then was visualized under the stereomicroscope for dentinal microcrack.

Results

The results showed that the maximum dentinal microcrack formed at apical 3 and 6 mm was in Waveone gold in reverse reciprocation followed by ProTaper Next in forward reciprocation and rotation. However, the p value was found to be not significant at 3 and 6 mm (p value—0.082 and 0.23).

Conclusion

Nickle titanium rotary instruments tend to induce varied degrees of root dentinal damage during canal instrumentation. ProTaper Next files in rotation as well as forward reciprocation presented with minimal microcrack defects when compared with Waveone gold.

Clinical significance

Root canal preparation, when performed by manual or engine-driven techniques, has shown to produce structural defects in the root dentin. One of the causes of failures in root canal treatment is because of fracture in the dentin that occurs due to these procedures. Though all the motion kinematics caused microcracks in this study, it was seen that rotational motion produced the least structural damage to the dentin.

Comparison of optical coherence tomography angiography features in type 1 versus type 2 choroidal neovascular membranes secondary to age-related macular degeneration
Authors: Goker Yasin Sakir , Demir Gokhan
Published: August 2021

Background: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is an advanced imaging modality that provides high resolution images at the level of different retinal layers. This study aime to evaluate choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVMs) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) quantitatively and qualitatively, according to their classification, morphological features, and flow areas, using OCTA.

Methods: In this descriptive, comparative, cross-sectional study, CNVMs were divided into 2 groups according to their classification as type 1 or type 2 neovascularization. Mixed CNVMs were excluded from the study. The size (mm2) and the flow area (mm2) of the CNVMs were calculated via OCTA and the presence of the perivascular halo and loop anastomoses were analyzed. The morphological appearance of the CNVMs were classified as: medusa, sea-fan, lacy-wheel, glomerular, dead tree, and mature vascular networks.

Results: Of the 85 eyes assessed for eligibility, 45 eyes of 34 individuals with CNVM were enrolled in this retrospective study. Twenty-eight eyes had type 1 and 17 eyes had type 2 CNVMs. The mean size and flow area were greater in type 1 than in type 2 CNVMs (mean ± standard deviation [SD], 6.69 ± 4.54 and 3.61 ± 3.56 mm2 versus 3.04 ± 1.98 and 1.77 ± 1.62 mm2; P = 0.044 and 0.046, respectively). Among the 22 eyes with type 1 CNVMs and the 9 eyes with type 2 CNVMs, 31 eyes had exudative membranes. Among the eyes with exudative CNVMs, 22 eyes had a perivascular halo and 22 eyes had loop anastomoses; this was significantly more than in the non-exudative eyes (P = 0.042 and 0.041, respectively). The lacy-wheel (38.7%) and dead tree (71.4%) patterns were the most frequent morphological appearance of the CNVMs in the exudative and non-exudative membranes, respectively.

Conclusions: OCTA provides objective documantation about CNVMs. A perivascular dark halo around CNVMs could be a criterion to define exudative membranes activity.

Endothelial cell loss rate after penetrating keratoplasty: Optical versus therapeutic grafts
Authors: Shams Abdelrhman , Gaafar Ayman Abdelmoneim , Elkitkat Rania Serag , Yousif Mohamed Omar
Published: August 2021

Background: This study aimed to compare the rate of endothelial cell loss (ECL) after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for optical versus therapeutic grafts at 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperatively. Furthermore, the study aimed to investigate postoperative graft viability and the rate of graft rejection during the first year of follow-up for both indications.

Methods: This was a prospective, observational, comparative study that included patients who sought medical advice at the cornea outpatient clinic of Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt. The study recruited 60 patients: group 1 included 30 transplanted corneas of 30 patients who underwent optical PKP for various indications, while group 2 included 30 transplanted corneas of 30 patients who underwent therapeutic PKP for unhealed, resistant infectious keratitis. Specular microscopy was performed for all patients at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up visits using Nidek CEM-530 specular microscopy. Postoperative clinical examinations were performed at the same follow-up visits to detect graft rejection.

Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups concerning the postoperative timing of graft clarity or the rate of ECL at 3- and 6-months postoperatively; however, the rate of ECL was significantly greater in group 2 than in group 1 at 12-months postoperatively (P = 0.03), although the difference was small from a clinical point of view. Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the graft rejection rate.

Conclusions: Therapeutic PKP results were comparable to optical PKP with respect to graft viability, the rate of ECL, and the rate of graft rejection 1 year after grafting.

Analysis of selected organic pollutants in water using various concentration techniques
Authors:   , Ramphal Sayjil Rohith
Published: August 2021

Among persistent organic pollutants, chlorobenzenes are some of the most frequently encountered compounds in aqueous systems. These compounds can enter the environment via natural and anthropogenic sources, and are ubiquitous due to their extensive use over the past several decades. Several chlorobenzene compounds, once in the environment, can biologically accumulate, and are reputed to be carcinogens and extremely hazardous to health. Several chlorobenzenes are listed as priority pollutants by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Excessive exposure to these compounds affects the central nervous system, irritates skin and upper respiratory tract, hardens skin and leads to haematological disorders including anaemia. In spite of these harmful effects, chlorobenzenes are still used widely as process solvents and raw materials in the manufacture of pesticides, chlorinated phenols, lubricants, disinfectants, pigments and dyes. In the light of the above, it is imperative to monitor the levels of chlorinated benzenes in all types of surface waters, using low-cost but sensitive methods of preconcentration and detection. In this study, a simple and relatively cheap preconcentration method using direct immersion solid phase microextraction (DI-SPME) followed by gas chromatography equipped with a flame ionisation detector (GC-FID) was developed for the analysis of 7 chlorinated benzenes in dam water. Experimental parameters affecting the extraction efficiency of the selected chlorobenzenes, such as fibre type, sample size, rate of agitation, salting-out effect and extraction time, were optimised and applied to the Grootdraai Dam water samples. The optimised method comprises the use of a 100 µm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fibre coating; 5 ml sample size; 700 revolutions per minute rate of agitation and an extraction time of 30 minutes. The calibration curves were linear with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9957–0.9995 for a concentration range of 1–100 ng/ml. The respective limits of detection and quantification for each analyte was as follows: 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 0.02 and 0.2 ng/ml; 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 0.04 and 0.4 ng/ml; 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 0.02 and 0.2 ng/ml; 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, 0.3 and 2.7 ng/ml; 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene, 0.09 and 0.9 ng/ml; 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene, 0.07 and 0.7 ng/ml; pentachlorobenzene, 0.07 and 0.7 ng/ml. Recoveries ranged from 83.6–107.2% with relative standard deviation of less than 9%, indicating that the method has good precision, is reliable and free of matrix interferences. Water samples collected from the Grootdraai Dam were analysed using the optimised conditions to assess the potential of the method for trace level screening and quantification of chlorobenzenes. The method proved to be efficient, as 1,3 dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene and pentachlorobenzene were detected at concentrations of 0.4 ng/ml, 1.7 ng/ml and 1.4 ng/ml, respectively.

Mid-Holocene monsoons in South and Southeast Asia: dynamically downscaled simulations and the influence of the Green Sahara
Authors: Huo Yiling , Peltier William Richard , Chandan Deepak
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Proxy records suggest that the Northern Hemisphere during the
mid-Holocene (MH), to be assumed herein to correspond to 6000 years ago,
was generally warmer than today during summer and colder in the winter due
to the enhanced seasonal contrast in the amount of solar radiation reaching
the top of the atmosphere. The complex orography of both South and Southeast
Asia (SA and SEA), which includes the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau (TP)
in the north and the Western Ghats mountains along the west coast of India
in the south, renders the regional climate complex and the simulation of the
intensity and spatial variability of the MH summer monsoon technically
challenging. In order to more accurately capture important regional features
of the monsoon system in these regions, we have completed a series of
regional climate simulations using a coupled modeling system to dynamically
downscale MH global simulations. This regional coupled modeling system
consists of the University of Toronto version of the Community Climate
System Model version 4 (UofT-CCSM4), the Weather Research and Forecasting
(WRF) regional climate model, and the 3D Coastal and Regional Ocean Community
model (CROCO). In the global model, we have taken care to incorporate Green
Sahara (GS) boundary conditions in order to compare with standard MH
simulations and to capture interactions between the GS and the monsoon
circulations in India and SEA. Comparison of simulated and reconstructed
climates suggest that the dynamically downscaled simulations produce
significantly more realistic anomalies in the Asian monsoon than the global
climate model, although they both continue to underestimate the inferred
changes in precipitation based upon reconstructions using climate proxy
information. Monsoon precipitation over SA and SEA is also greatly
influenced by the inclusion of a GS, with a large increase particularly
being predicted over northern SA and SEA, and a lengthening of the monsoon
season. Data–model comparisons with downscaled simulations outperform those
with the coarser global model, highlighting the crucial role of downscaling
in paleo data–model comparison.
Global contributions of mesoscale dynamics to meridional heat transport
Authors: Delman Andrew , Lee Tong
Published: August 2021

Abstract. Mesoscale ocean processes are prevalent in many parts of the global oceans
and may contribute substantially to the meridional movement of heat. Yet
earlier global surveys of meridional temperature fluxes and heat transport
(HT) have not formally distinguished between mesoscale and large-scale
contributions, or they have defined eddy contributions based on temporal rather
than spatial characteristics. This work uses spatial filtering methods to
separate large-scale (gyre and planetary wave) contributions from mesoscale
(eddy, recirculation, and tropical instability wave) contributions to
meridional HT. Overall, the mesoscale temperature flux (MTF) produces a net
poleward meridional HT at midlatitudes and equatorward meridional HT in the
tropics, thereby resulting in a net divergence of heat from the subtropics.
In addition to MTF generated by propagating eddies and tropical instability
waves, MTF is also produced by stationary recirculations near energetic
western boundary currents, where the temperature difference between the
boundary current and its recirculation produces the MTF. The mesoscale
contribution to meridional HT yields substantially different results from
temporally based “eddy” contributions to meridional HT, with the latter
including large-scale gyre and planetary wave motions at low latitudes.
Mesoscale temperature fluxes contribute the most to interannual and decadal
variability of meridional HT in the Southern Ocean, the tropical Indo-Pacific,
and the North Atlantic. Surface eddy kinetic energy (EKE) is not a good
proxy for MTF variability in regions with the highest time-mean EKE, though it
does explain much of the temperature flux variability in regions of modest
time-mean EKE. This approach to quantifying mesoscale fluxes can be used to
improve parameterizations of mesoscale effects in coarse-resolution models
and assess regional impacts of mesoscale eddies and recirculations on tracer
fluxes.

diálogo produtivo entre a nova história intelectual e os estudos historiográficos
Authors: Palermo Luis Claudio
Published: August 2021

Este artigo tem como ponto de partida o desenvolvimento da história intelectual no século XX, fornecendo especial atenção às mudanças propostas por Quentin Skinner e Reinhart Koselleck. Nesse percurso, contexto e processo histórico são elementos que emergem como primordiais para a superação das ideias como essências. Salienta-se, em seguida, a ampliação das possibilidades teóricas na história intelectual com a problematização dos contextos de recepção das ideias. O argumento se desenvolve no sentido de postular que alguns dos importantes conceitos atuais – dentre os quais o de tradições eletivas – sustentam que a problematização do contexto do pesquisador pode ser visto sob a luz das noções de contexto e processo. A proposta desenvolvida no artigo lastreia-se nessas perspectivas para postular que os referenciais teóricos e conceituais dos pesquisadores são prolíficos para uma problematização densa no campo da historiografia. Nesse sentido, a subjetividade do pesquisador é considerada como produtiva e interconectada a uma rede de referências teóricas e conceituais. A conclusão é que o produto final – o trabalho historiográfico – não é resultado somente de chaves epistemológicas, mas também contempla o modo como o historiador se insere no seu campo.
‘A passeidade do Passado’
Authors: Bevernage Berber
Published: August 2021

É bem sabido que a noção de passeidade do passado é uma ideia central que sustenta a visão de mundo historicista. Recentemente, no entanto, a passeidade do passado se tornou uma grande preocupação acadêmica e política. Contra o pano de fundo de uma crescente atenção transnacional por memória e injustiça histórica, muitos comentadores notaram uma diluição da distinção entre passado e presente e uma crise da passeidade historicista. Embora eu certamente não concordo que nós podemos simplesmente nos livrar inteiramente da noção de passeidade do passado, eu defendo um repensar radical. Tal repensar pode nos ajudar a nos reengajar criticamente com o historicismo como uma prática que pode ser emancipatória e também opressiva. Esse repensar pode também permitir uma análise mais nuançada sobre alguns importantes desafios políticos, incluindo aqueles relacionados à memória e a assim chamada política retrospectiva. Na primeira parte deste artigo, eu discuto como a noção historicista de passeidade tem sido crescentemente posta em questão. Na segunda parte do texto, apresento algumas reflexões sobre como repensar criticamente a passeidade do passado.
Transformação do Tempo Histórico
Authors: Simon Zoltán Boldizsár
Published: August 2021

Nesse texto, defendo que, ao contrário do que dizem todos os rumores, o empreendimento da filosofia da história segue bem vivo nos dias de hoje – diria até indispensável. Isso não significa dizer, é claro, que as críticas do pós-guerra devem ser completamente desconsideradas. A questão não é como retornar a uma descreditada filosofia da história, idealizadora do conceito processual de história, dotada de direcionalidade, teleologia, sentido e substância inerentes no desenrolar das coisas humanas. A questão é se a possibilidade de mudança das coisas humanas no tempo pode ser conceitualizada enquanto ‘história’ sem invocar os atributos previamente mencionados. Essa não é uma pergunta fácil. Na realidade, essa pergunta consiste em outras duas perguntas distintas, mas profundamente interrelacionadas: primeiro, se é possível conceber um tempo histórico em outros termos que não processuais-desenvolvimentais; e segundo, se tal temporalidade outra-que-não-processual pode ainda ser ‘histórica’ no sentido de reter a possibilidade de mudança das coisas humanas no tempo.

AN ANALYSIS OF ORAL COMMUNICATION COMPETENCY OF TENTH GRADE ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXAMINATION IN BALOCHISTAN
Authors: Qamar Zaman, Muhammad Aslam, Madeline Milian
Published: August 2021

It is a natural phenomenon that a language comprises of primarily four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. These basic four skills of a language make for effective communication. The English language has a great importance in the Pakistani context because all the competitive examinations are given in English language. In Pakistan, as in many other parts of the world, the English language represents the door of opportunities. However, it has been observed that the teaching of the English language and its assessment at secondary schools in Pakistan has been limited to two skills i.e. reading and writing, whereas, other skills of English language Listening and Speaking which includes linguistic competence, sociolinguistic competence, strategic competence, and discourse competence, are ignored categorically. This study is based on an analysis of Oral Communication Competency through Annual Examination Papers of 2014 to 2019 for Grade Ten in English Language Examination conducted by Balochistan Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Quetta in the Province of Balochistan. The study aims to investigate whether activities for learning Oral Communication in the English Text book for grade ten developed by

Published: August 2021

NLP has not been able to gain the status of a scientific model since its emergence in 1970’s with certain reservations by the experts in the various fields such as educators, linguists, English language teachers, and scientists. Despite the fact that more than fifty organizations are working in the UK solely on NLP, there are only a few conversations and studies available on the subject due to mere supposition about the lack of scientific support for its existence. In NLP history, much work has been ignored due to mere speculation. Also, many researchers did not pay any attention to the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the NLP ideas and researches via ignoring various studies in this filed. This article has aimed at the exploration of NLP via various studies in diverse fields dealing with the varied aspects of NLP toolkit to illustrate the mammoth significance it holds. The research circumspectly examines the fundamental role that NLP plays in education, sports, health, and English language teaching practices that is beyond the claims of experts who declare it a pseudoscience.

Peer feedback is considered a reliable method in developing the learner's English language writing skills (Falchikov, 2005; Goldfinch, 2000; Moshontz, & Cooper, 2017; Sanchez, Atkinson, Koenka). It provides a collaborative learning environment, fosters learners’ autonomy and reduces anxiety among students (Phillipson, 2007; Richards& Schmidt, 2010; Stubb, 2013). Nevertheless, the use of peer feedback to improve ESL learners’ writing skills is a multifaceted process and needs pre feedback assistaance. The efficacy of peer feedback depends on a range of factors such as the learning setting, the learner, and the assessment procedure itself (Ossenberg, Henderson, & Mitchell, 2018). Various studies have suggested positive perceptions of peer feedback (Rotsaert, Panadero & Schellens, 2018; Vanderhoven, Raes, Montrieux, Rotsaert & Schellens, 2015). This study aimed to take the perceptions of Pakistani Postgraduate ESL learners’ about peer feedback on their writing skills. Before data collection, four formal feedback training sessions were conducted. This involved the participants who received peer feedback on their writings in the class. Data for this study were collected from fourteen Pakistani postgraduate level ESL students through two semi-structured focus group interviews. Before data collection, tool validation was obtained through self and expert validity procedures. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. The transcriptions were shared with the participants before data analysis. Thematic analysis of the collected data was carried out to teach the findings. The findings suggested that collaborative learning environment and peer feedback develop a sense of responsibility, learners’ autonomy, critical and analytical skills in students. The analysis of peer feedback further revealed students’ biases, non-serious attitude and lack of peer feedback skills among the learners.

Introduction: In haemodialysis patients, mortality from cardiovascular disease is much greater than in the general population. The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of two different types of heparin, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) and high molecular weight heparin (HMWH), on lipid profile in patients undergoing haemodialysis.Material & Methods: A total of 60 patients on haemodialysis were selected from two main hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan and were divided into two major groups based on the type of heparin used. A 5 ml blood sample was taken from the dialysis machine to get the serum and was kept frozen at -20ºC for analysis of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein. Comparison of lipoprotein lipase activity between groups were evaluated by using the student t-test. A P-value of ? 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Gender wise distribution of study population (n=60) was 67% (n=40) males and 33% (n=20) females. The age distribution of individuals varied from 39-43 years. Moreover, use of HMWH was high in males (73%) as compared to female (27%) with an average age of 39 ± 12 years where duration of haemodialysis was 4.44 ± 2.83. A significant difference in LPL activity related to different times in all patients was observed. A clearer difference observed in case of LDL where LPL activity was markedly different in both groups. Our data showed that individuals using LMWH had less chances of dyslipidaemia as compared to those using HMWH.Conclusion: LMWH is a useful and safe anticoagulant during haemodialysis as compared to HMWH.

Основной задачей для обеспечения качества функциональных продуктов длительного хранения является наличие методов оценки срока годности, применение которых позволит оценить не только качество продукта, но и его функциональные свойства на протяжении всего срока годности продукта. В настоящее время установлена возможность разработки методики ускоренного хранения для функциональных продуктов на молочной основе длительного хранения с применением метода ASLT и математического моделирования, исходя из имеющихся наработанных статистических данных по показателям окислительной порчи, содержанию свободных аминокислот и параметрам оценки продуктов гидролиза белка. В данной работе приведена оценка роли органолептического анализа при подтверждении срока годности продукции, рассмотрены основные процессы, влияющие на изменение органолептических характеристик при хранении. По результатам выполненной работы даны рекомендации по использованию метода органолептической оценки применительно к функциональным продуктам на молочной основе при использовании методики ускоренного хранения.

The main task for ensuring the quality of functional shelf-stable products is the availability of methods for assessing the shelf life, the use of which will allow not only assessing the quality of the product, but also its functional properties throughout the entire shelf life of the product. Currently, the possibility of developing a method of accelerated storage for functional milk-based products for long-term storage using the ASLT method and mathematical modeling has been established, based on the available accumulated statistical data on indicators of oxidative spoilage, the content of free amino acids and parameters for evaluating protein hydrolysis products. This work evaluates the role of organoleptic analysis in confirming the shelf life of products, considers the main processes that affect the change in organoleptic characteristics during storage. Based on the results of the work performed, recommendations were given on the use of the method of organoleptic assessment in relation to functional milk-based products when using the accelerated storage method.
