Complete Trio Sonatas
Authors: Colista Lelio
Published: September 2021

Lelio Colista (1629–80) is considered the foremost composer of Italian trio sonatas in Rome before Corelli. In the Papal City, where he lived for most of his life, he was an acclaimed lutenist, composer, and teacher. He was part of a closely-knit professional milieu including the most appreciated instrumentalists of his generation, such as Alessandro Stradella, Carlo Ambrogio Lonati, and Carlo Mannelli. However, Colista's trio sonatas were not published during his lifetime. No autograph has survived, and the many manuscript sources are today scattered throughout various European libraries. Their wide dissemination bears witness to the significant circulation of Colista's trio sonatas in the last decades of the seventeenth century, particularly in England.

Published: September 2021

By exploring some of the diverse theoretical literature on domestic politics and conflict, this research makes a first step toward bridging this divide. It looks at the link between national characteristics and war behavior, the possibility of democratic and non-democratic governments going to war, Marxist and liberal ideas on the role of economic structure, the impact of nationalism and public opinion, and the scapegoat theory. But first, this essay examines how political scientists and historians handle domestic origins of conflict.

Sociology of Politics
Authors: Muntu Lwakanwanga
Published: September 2021

There are societal tensions all around us. They are unavoidable in human interactions. However, this does not imply that every social connection is always totally or even partially problematic. It also does not imply that every underlying problematic connection would be manifested with the same level of hatred and violence. Conflicts differ in terms of their origins, duration, manner of resolution, results, and repercussions. The emergence of specific social conflicts, battles, and struggles, rather than the function of conflict in social life, is the focus of attention. It is about disagreements between groups of people, not between individuals acting alone or inside specific groups. Finally, we are more concerned with conflicts in which coercion and violence are probable or feasible, rather than those in which coercion and violence are unlikely to occur.
Centrally adapted optimal control of multiple electric water heaters
Authors: Ritchie Michael , Engelbrecht J.A.A. , Booysen MJ
Published: September 2021

Breakthroughs in smart grid technology make it possible to deliver electricity in controlled and intelligent ways to improve energy efficiency between the user and the utility. Demand-side management strategies can reduce overall energy usage and shift consumption to reduce peak loads. Electric water heaters account for 40% of residential energy consumption. Since they are thermal storage devices, advanced control strategies can improve their efficiency. But existing methods disregard the connection between the user and the grid. We propose a centrally adapted control model that allows for coordinated scheduling to adapt the optimal control schedule of each EWH, spreading the load into off-peak periods to ensure that the grid's generation capacity is not exceeded. We consider two strategies for the delivery of hot water, temperature matching, and energy matching with \textit{Legionella} sterilisation, and compare them to a baseline strategy where the thermostat is always switched on. Simulation results for a grid of 77 EWHs showed that an unconstrained peak load of 1.05 kW/EWH can be reduced as low as 0.4 kW/EWH and achieve a median energy saving per EWH of 0.38 kWh/day for the temperature matching strategy and 0.64 kWh/day for the energy matching strategy, without reducing the user's comfort.
What is a visual stimulus?
Authors: Skottun Bernt
Published: September 2021

When two stimuli, s 1 and s 2 , having different phase spectra are added we get not only that the amplitudesin (s 1 + s 2 ) will be reduced relative to the amplitudes in s 1 plus the amplitudes in s 2 but also that thedistribution of amplitudes in the spectra (as well as the spectrum of the squares of the amplitudes) may bealtered. Yet their appearance may remain unaltered. When the amplitude spectrum of a stimulus has beenaltered it can no longer be held to be the same stimulus. Visual stimuli can, therefore, not be counted on tobe the same stimuli when they are combined as when they are presented in isolation even if they have thesame appearance. This is due to interference in the stimuli which is unrelated to vision. These observations,it would seem, have implications for a number of areas in visual science among them visual masking, visualcrowding, visual search, and for the adding of noise to stimuli.
Palestinians and Israelis Believe the Other’s God Encourages Intergroup Benevolence: A Case of Positive Intergroup Meta-Perceptions
Authors: Shackleford Crystal , Pasek Michael H. , VISHKIN ALLON , Ginges Jeremy
Published: September 2021

How does religious belief influence intergroup conflict? Research addressing this question generally focuses on how individuals’ own beliefs influence intergroup behavior. However, intergroup cooperation may also be influenced by second-order beliefs; in this case, perceptions about how outgroup members’ religious beliefs influence their intergroup behavior. Indeed, across different domains, intergroup conflict is often driven by inaccurate and negative intergroup perceptions and predictions. If true of religion, such negatively biased predictions may independently hinder intergroup cooperation by reducing the extent to which individuals see religious outgroup members as cooperative partners. Contrary to this hypothesis, three preregistered studies (N = 1081) provide consistent evidence that Palestinians and Israelis predict that belief in God motivates outgroup members to give more money in intergroup exchanges (Studies 1 and 2) and to place a greater value on outgroup members’ lives (Study 3). Results have important implications for policymakers’ and the public’s understanding of religion’s role in intergroup relations.

Authors: Garg Praveen
Published: September 2021

High performance liquid chromatography method is used for the estimation of flavanoid (quercetin) in leaves and stem extracts of Ocimum sanctum and Tinospora cordifolia. The dried leaves and stem of both plants were extracted with methanol and ethanol solvent. The concentration of quercetin of methanolic and ethanolic leaves and stem extracts of plants performed by using acetonitrile and methanol 50:50 (V/V) solutions as mobile phase and used a flow rate of 1ml per min and absorbance at 256 nm. We conclude in this study that Ocimum sanctum and Tinospora cordifolia has significant amount of flavanoid (quercetin), which indicate the high antioxidant activity of both plants and used for further study.

Published: September 2021

Black Velvet Tamarind (BVT) is a famous edible fruit with multiple therapeutic properties. The aim of this study was to determine the secondary metabolites and evaluate the medicinal activities of the seed extract of the plant in order to scientifically report its possible medicinal applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. The pulverized seed was extracted with methanol/ethylacetate (2:1) and the concentrated extract was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the antioxidant capacity was evaluated using galvinoxyl and 2,2ʹ-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assays while the antibacterial activity was determined by agar-well diffusion method. From the GC-MS analysis, Twenty (20) organic compounds were identified in the seed extract, accounting for 99.3% of the identifiable components in the seed extract, and the main constituents were:4-O-methylmannose (40.46%), 9,9-dimethoxybicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,4-dione (12.30%), palmitic acid (10.00%), nitroisobutylglycerol (8.60%), simiarenol (4.77%) and methyl-α-d-mannofuranoside (4.70%). The extract also contained some notable therapeutically active phenolic compounds such as dihydrochavicol (3.60%), p-chloro-m-cresol (0.67%) and p-vinylguaiacol (0.1%). The seed extract possesses significant free radical scavenging and antioxidant (IC50 and AAI) properties; for galvinoxyl assay (30.00-34.00%), 5.0 and 8.4 and DPPH assay (86.78-90.57%), 6.0 and AAI of 6.7, respectively. The result showed that the antioxidant properties of the seed extract of BVT increased in dose-concentration manner due to the synergetic activity of secondary metabolites present in the seed extract. This study showed that the seed of BVT possesses antioxidant and antimicrobial potential and it might be useful against ROS and RNS induced disorders. The seed of BVT can be used as an easily accessible source of natural antioxidant. The extract has high inhibitory effects at different concentrations (1000-250 µgml-1 ) on Enterococcus faecalis (30 mm) and Serratia marcescens (15 mm) isolated from clinical samples. The susceptibility of Gram positive and negative bacterial strains to the seed extract was due to the synergic activities of the secondary metabolites in the seed extract, most especially the phenolic compound and the terpenoids. This study showed that the seed extract of BVT has medicinally bioactive phytochemicals that may be useful in the formulation of food preservatives or drug supplements and treatment of bacterial infections.

Published: September 2021

Background: Participation in sport is a fundamental human right [1]. Participation in sports by people living with disabilities (PWDs) presents several mental, physical social and emotional benefits. However, it has been observed that the participation of PWDs in sport and physical activity is generally less as compared to their able bodied counterparts [2] . Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the participation of PWDs in Paralympic games. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to identify the level of participation of PWD in sports, barriers that impede the participation and strategies that can be used to enhance their participation. Setting: The study explored the participation of people living with disabilities (PWD) in sport (Paralympic Games) in Gokwe south district in the Midlands province of Zimbabwe. It focused on exploring barriers that impede the effective participation of People living with disabilities (PWDs). Materials and Methods: The study adopted a mixed methods research approach utilizing the embedded (nested) mixed method design within the traditional descriptive survey design. Structured interviews and observations were used as to collect data. The research participants comprised PWDs aged 15 years and above. The random sampling method was used to select a sample of sixty PWDs. Statistical analysis: Data was integrated into frequency tables and graphs and was textually interpreted to derive meaning from it. Results: The study revealed that access to sport by people with a disability was a major challenge. Lack of awareness, Severity of disability, inadequate funding, poor transport, lack of support from significant others, lack of appreciation of the value of sport, poor and inadequate assistive devices, poor training equipment and the role of the sports trainer were found to be the major factors limiting access to sport participation by PWDs. Recommendations: It was recommended that both governmental and nongovernmental organizations should provide adequate resources for the Paralympics games. It was also recommended that both government agencies and disability rights advocates should increase awareness on the importance of participation in sport by people with disabilities.
Žena u hrvatskoj migraciji stanovništva
Authors: Mesarić Žabčić Rebeka
Published: September 2021

Migrations (generally) mean any change in the place of residence of a migrant or larger and smaller group of people. In the history of migration research, just few researches have been devoted to the research of women in the migration process, women as migrants, the values and importance of women in migrant families and the problems women migrants face in the international migratory whirlwind. The role of woman in the migration process is most often studied from the aspect of economic change in society or through the role of a girl, a wife, a sister, a mother, and together with the emigration of male family members. Different push and pull factors affect a migrant woman and her decision to move or not to move away from the environment she has recently lived in. Emigration factors can be explored, analyzed and observed on individual, family and social levels. Research on women’s mobility, the dilemma of long-standing „female invisibility“ and their formal position have set goals for the starting point of this work. The paper points to the problems and role of women in the migration process through the socio-historical dimension, provides an overview and analysis of available demographic indicators on migrant women, analytically represents selected migration theories related to migrant women, points to different forms of women migration, detects the social status migrants have in most cases in new homeland, enriches existing knowledge and reflection, opens up new perspectives and points to newer meanings of women in the migration process and opens up many new issues for further research into feminisation of migration.
Estimating the Effects of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions and Population Mobility on Daily COVID-19 Cases: Evidence from Ontario
Authors: Stevens Nathaniel T. , Sen Anindya , Kiwon Francis , Morita Plinio P. , Steiner Stefan H. , Zhang Qihuang
Published: September 2021

This study uses coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case counts and Google mobility data for 12 of Ontario’s largest Public Health Units from Spring 2020 until the end of January 2021 to evaluate the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs; policy restrictions on business operations and social gatherings) and population mobility on daily cases. Instrumental variables (IV) estimation is used to account for potential simultaneity bias, because both daily COVID-19 cases and NPIs are dependent on lagged case numbers. IV estimates based on differences in lag lengths to infer causal estimates imply that the implementation of stricter NPIs and indoor mask mandates are associated with reductions in COVID-19 cases. Moreover, estimates based on Google mobility data suggest that increases in workplace attendance are correlated with higher case counts. Finally, from October 2020 to January 2021, daily Ontario forecasts from Box–Jenkins time-series models are more accurate than official forecasts and forecasts from a susceptible-infected-removed epidemiology model.
(Re)mapping Akikodjiwan: Spatial Logics of Dispossession in the Settler-Colonial City
Authors: Crosby Andrew
Published: September 2021

This article examines the socio-spatial reproduction of settler-colonial urbanism at a contested site of urban development in Canada’s capital city. Akikodjiwan is an Algonquin sacred site on the Ottawa River (Kichi Sibi) and the location of a large-scale private real estate development project. Using the Access to Information Act, this article demonstrates how the Canadian government—led by the National Capital Commission—orchestrated a land transfer to the developers amid long-standing calls by the Algonquins to have the land returned. This article contributes to understandings of the positioning of the settler city at the center of the spatial logic of coloniality in Canada, as a site of the deployment of socio-spatial strategies of settler-colonial governance and property relations, but also as a site of Indigenous resistance. Transpiring in a purported climate of reconciliation, the remapping of Akikodjiwan demonstrates the ongoing spatial implications and role of place making in settler-colonial city making, where racialized logics and regimes of private property are mobilized in an attempt to dispossess and exclude Indigenous peoples from their lands, alongside the simultaneous transfer of thousands of settlers onto an Algonquin sacred site.
Moose Jaw’s Tunnel Vision: Mystery, History, and the Construction of “Canada’s Most Notorious City”
Authors: Androsoff Ashleigh
Published: September 2021

The Tunnels of Moose Jaw is a tourist attraction that presents an award-winning but highly problematic interpretation of Moose Jaw’s early 20th-century history. This article explains how the Tunnels of Moose Jaw constructed a successful and compelling presentation of local legends centered around the claim that “notorious” Chicago-based gangster Al Capone hid out beneath Moose Jaw during Prohibition. With scant evidence to prove this and other claims, the attraction has blurred the lines between “history” and “legend.” Unfortunately, the attraction’s focus on incorrect information has made it difficult for Moose Jaw’s residents and visitors to understand what aspects of the city’s history are truly noteworthy. This article argues that the Tunnels of Moose Jaw and its many local supporters successfully boosted the city’s economy, confidence, and reputation at a crucial turning point in the late 20thcentury, but did so by presenting the city and its history as something other than what it really is.

Study Objective: To assess risk factors of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PCMP) based on the past medical history, genetic predisposition and peculiarities if this pregnancy. Study Design: retrospective cohort case study. Materials and Methods. We have performed a retrospective analysis of pregnancies and labours of 13 patients at V.A. Almazov National Medical Research Centre with PCMP in 2012–2019. For diagnostics and differential diagnosis, we used general, laboratory and instrumental test methods. Results. We have identified such risk factors as family history of cardiovascular pathologies (61.5%), age 35+ years (53.8%), obesity (53.8%), first labour (46.2%), preeclampsia (38.4%), caesarean delivery (23.1%), gestational diabetes mellitus (15.4%), multiple fetation (15.4%), and history of smoking (15.4%). 76.9% of patients had PCMP developed during pregnancy; 23.1% — on day 1–3 postpartum; a significant factor was operative delivery due to obstetrical symptoms; in one case, caesarean section was followed by a massive blood loss resulting from normal placenta abruption. Prevention of preeclampsia with drugs was indicated for one woman, although in 15.4% of patients it was diagnosed during the previous pregnancy, and 38.4% of women had preeclampsia during the current pregnancy. Conclusion. PCMP is a rare pathology with poorly studied ethiology and high risk of maternal mortality. When analysing clinical cases of 13 patients hospitalised with PCMP to V.A. Almazov National Medical Research Centre, we found out a significant number of PCMP risk factors; however, we have not identified any clear evidence of the impact from a certain factor. An important conclusion is the relation between PCMP and preeclampsia, which can be seen both in our study and in studies by foreign researchers; it is a potential platform for further research of this phenomenon.

Facet Joint Violation by Thoracolumbar Percutaneous Pedicle Screw and Its Effect on Progression of Facet Joint Osteoarthritis
Authors: Sasagawa Takeshi
Published: September 2021

Study Design: A retrospective study.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the rate and associated factors of facet violation (FV) in percutaneous pedicle screws (PPS) from the thoracic to the lumbar spine and the effect of FV on facet osteoarthritis (OA) progression.Overview of Literature: Some reports claim PPS has a higher FV rate than conventional open surgery. However, previous reports of FV in PPS were limited to the lumbar spine; only a few reports included the thoracic spine.Methods: The present study includes 1,028 PPS inserted from T4 to S1 in 218 patients. The rate of FV and facet OA progression after FV were assessed using computed tomography (CT) scans conducted postoperatively at 1 week and 6 months or more. To identify factors associated with FV or facet OA progression after FV, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted. To investigate whether FV caused facet OA progression, we compared OA progression between patients with FV and matched controls.Results: FV was observed in 68 (6.6%) of the 1,028 facets, and the thoracic spine was identified as an independent factor associated with FV. OA progression was detected in 48.2% of the cases with FV via CT scans conducted postoperatively at a mean duration of 22.6 months. The time between CT scans was identified as an independent factor for facet OA progression after FV. The rate of OA progression in patients with FV was significantly greater than that of the controls.Conclusions: FV was observed in 6.6% of the patients, and the thoracic spine was identified as an independent factor associated with FV. OA progression of a violated facet occurs over time. FV is considered a complication leading to facet OA progression.

Evaluating the Determinants and Sustainability of Public Debt for the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Countries
Authors: khan Ayaz , Zahoor ul Haq  , Iqbal Javed
Published: September 2021

This study examines the sustainability and relationship of public debt to selected macroeconomic variables for South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries from 1996 to 2017. For the relationship of public debt to macroeconomic variables, we employ a panel Autoregressive Distributed Lagged (ARDL) model. For sustainability measurement of public debt, we used a theoretically derived model based on necessary and sufficient conditions. The panel ARDL results for the long run show that the savinginvestment gap and economic growth negatively while the budget deficit and current account positively explain public debt. The sustainability measurement results based on necessary and sufficient conditions reveal that public debt remains unsustainable for most of the years in the presence of macroeconomic variables. It is recommended that countries in this association should formulate policies that promote saving culture. This saving culture may not only promote investment but also can affect the current account situation of these countries.

The aim – to evaluate clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients of the Ukrainian familial hypercholesterolemia registry taking into account gender differences. Materials and methods. 231 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia were included to the Ukrainian Familial Hypercholesterolemia Registry: 8 children (under 18 years of age) and 223 adult patients (68 men (30.5 %), mean age 43.4±1.3 and 155 women) 69.5 %) – 45.5±1.0 years) with familial hypercholesterolemia verified according to the DLCN criteria. General clinical, laboratory, instrumental examinations and genetic testing were performed.Results and discussion. In the general registry among the patients with familial hypercholesterolemia in the setting of early manifestation of atherosclerosis the male patients with familial hypercholesterolemia were more likely to have coronary artery disease, premature coronary artery disease, cerebral and peripheral atherosclerosis, xanthoma, hypertriglyceridemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking and a history of MI, which caused a higher DLCN score (9.3 points in men against 7.8 points in women, p<0.05). Female patients with familial hypercholesterolemia had a higher percentage of obesity and hypertension, which corresponds to the main gender trends of the Ukrainian population study.Conclusions. Since 2017, for the first time in Ukraine, the register of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia has been initiated. In December 2019 the most severe form – homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia – was first included in the list of orphan diseases by the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. According to the analysis of the data of the Ukrainian familial hypercholesterolemia registry, this pathology is diagnosed rather late and insufficiently in Ukraine. In patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, against the background of an earlier manifestation of atherosclerotic lesions, gender features of the cardiovascular risk factors profile, which are characteristic of the entire adult population of Ukraine, are preserved. The lower severity of familial hypercholesterolemia clinical manifestations in women according to the general Ukrainian familial hypercholesterolemia registry may be due to the predominance of heterozygous forms in the registry and inclusion of women of reproductive age against the background of preserved antiatherogenic effects of estrogen to the registry.

In the light of the latest technologies, it is impossible to imagine the development of medicine and, in particular, cardiac surgery, without the use of minimally invasive treatments. Endovascular revascularization interventions have been used for over 20 years, and today they have become the «gold» standard for a number of coronary lesions. This review presents a large number of studies and evidence confirming the use of measuring the physiological parameters of coronary blood flow (fractional flow reserve) for the treatment of chronic coronary heart disease and the possibility of their use in acute coronary syndrome. In addition, there is evidence of the use of the method of instantaneous wave-free ratio, which is carried out without the use of vasodilators, thus eliminating their side effects. Despite the high informativeness and reliability of the fractional flow reserve methodology, its use is insufficient in clinics in Ukraine and the world as a whole. This technique is used to determine significant hemodynamic changes in the blood supply to the myocardium in the so-called «intermediate stenosis» of the coronary artery. Determining fractional flow reserve is a fairly simple and affordable method of diagnosis and, consequently, the correct treatment of coronary heart disease. The introduction of fractional flow reserve in routine practice will not only change the quantitative side of cardiac surgery and endovascular interventions, but also improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the economic costs of coronary heart disease treatment.

The recommendations are dedicated to contemporary aspects of epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, etiology-based, pathogenetic and symptomatic treatment of myocarditis. Various pathogenetic mechanisms that cause the development and progression of inflammatory heart disease and cause dilatation and systolic dysfunction, lead to heart failure and the development of other complications of myocarditis are described in detail. These recommendations present the modern classification of myocarditis, approved in Ukraine, and modern algorithms for diagnosis and clinical management of patients, in particular the algorithm that justifies the appointment of glucocorticoids for patients with myocarditis. The characteristics of different variants of myocarditis are also presented with clarifications concerning diagnosis and treatment. Much attention is paid to various approaches to the etiotropic and pathogenetic treatment of myocarditis and their possible prospects. It is obvious that in order to standardize approaches to the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic myocarditis, it is necessary to conduct large-scale multicenter studies and create special registries. In addition, in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pathological effects of SARS-Cov-2 as a trigger of myocarditis need further study, in particular in terms of impact on the prognosis and approaches to pathogenetic therapy in such patients. Unification of terminology and approaches to diagnosis and clinical monitoring of patients with myocarditis can improve management tactics and increase the survival rate of such patients. To identify high-risk patients (with arrhythmias, high probability of recurrence or transformation of myocarditis into dilated cardiomyopathy) and candidates for heart transplantation, the most promising is the creation of special databases of such patients

The aim – to evaluate the effectiveness of glucocorticoid therapy in patients with myocarditis with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction that developed after COVID-19 infection. Materials and methods. The results of glucocorticoid therapy in 32 patients aged (35.2±2.3) years with acute myocarditis after COVID-19 infection and left ventricular ejection fraction <40 % are presented. All patients were prescribed a 3-month course of methylprednisolone at a daily dose of 0.25 mg/kg, followed by a gradual dose reduction of 1 mg per week until complete withdrawal 6 months after the start of treatment. Results and discussion. The analysis of the results of the examinations was performed in the 1st month from the onset of myocarditis to the appointment of glucocorticoids and after 6 months of observation. Six months later, the end-diastolic volume index decreased by 18.5 %, the left ventricular ejection fraction increased by 23.8 %, and the longitudinal global systolic straine increased by 39.8 %. On cardiac MRI, the number of left ventricular segments affected by inflammatory changes decreased from 6.22±0.77 to 2.89±0.45 segments, and the number of segments with fibrotic changes did not change significantly. After 6 months of treatment, there was a significant decrease in the concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines and cardiospecific antibodies. Conclusions. The use of a 6-month course of glucocorticoid therapy in patients with myocarditis that developed after COVID-19 infection improved the contractility of the left ventricle against the background of a significant reduction in inflammatory lesions of the left ventricle and reduced concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines and cardiospecific antibodies.
