Impacto en la salud por el cambio y la variabilidad del clima en Bogotá, D. C.
Authors: Sarmiento Rodrigo
Published: October 2022

Colombia fue uno de países más afectados por los eventos climáticos asociados al cambio y la variabilidad climáticos durante 2010; Bogotá fue una de las regiones más golpeadas por las inundaciones ocurridas durante dicho periodo. Por otro lado, se sabe poco sobre el efecto del cambio y la variabilidad climáticos sobre el Distrito, por lo cual es necesario determinar las enfermedades sensibles al clima para Bogotá, D. C., así como identificar a la población vulnerable ante dichas enfermedades. Resultados preliminares de la relación entre cambio climático y salud en Bogotá muestran un aumento en la carga y en la severidad de ciertas enfermedades asociadas a la variabilidad climática, como un pico epidémico de hospitalizaciones por dengue durante 2011 en relación con el aumento regional de las precipitaciones, y una correlación positiva entre la infección respiratoria aguda grave (irag) y la precipitación promedio por semanas epidemiológicas durante 2011. Tales hallazgos requieren un análisis más profundo; por lo tanto, se propone diseñar un sistema de monitoreo con una perspectiva holística, para mejorar la capacidad de adaptación del Distrito Capital ante los eventos climáticos extremos y la variabilidad climática.

Published: October 2022

The use of mobile applications and decision support system for agriculture is important in today's era. To enrich agriculture various mobile applications have been developed by different research institutes in NARES which are helping the farmers in their cultivation practices. In the present study, a mobile application named "HPDI Ergon" has been developed with intent to mapping of drudgery in physiological and psychological components and biomechanical evaluation of agricultural activities. In this respect the app named "HPDI Ergon" was developed during 2019-20 in computer application at ICAR-ISARI, New Delhi to assesses the drudgery involved in the work and give recommendation to mitigate it. In this app farmers are assessed based on different physiological and postural ergonomics parameters which includes heart rate, energy expenditure rate, total cardiac cost of work, physiological cost of work, human physical drudgery index variable etc. and conclusion is drawn on physiological and drudgery limitations. The app is developed using Android Studio and Java programming language. Individual registered farmers are selected to undergo different ergonomics and drudgery analysis. The data generated by different analysis is stored in the database which is implemented using SQLite database. Based on the results of all the ergonomic analysis and drudgery analysis using HPDI conclusion is drawn regarding whether there is any need of changing or improving the working condition or not. Accordingly, different suggestions and various improved tools are provided to the farmers for reducing their both physiological stress and drudgery in their working environment.

Published: October 2022

The generation mean analysis was carried out to estimate nature and magnitude of gene effect for yield traits and oil content in two crosses RH 0749 × RLC-3 and RH 0749 × PDZ-1 of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss]. Significance of scaling test as well as χ2 in joint scaling test showed the presence of digenic or higher order interactions for all characters except for days to maturity in cross RH 0749 × RLC-3. Additive gene effects (d) were important for days to maturity, number of secondary branches per plant, number of seeds per siliqua, 1000-seed weight and seed yield per plant. Both additive (d) and dominance (h) gene effect were important for plant height, number of primary branches per plant, main shoot length, number of siliquae on main shoot, siliqua length and oil content. The dominant × dominant (l) type of gene interaction and duplicate epistasis was observed for most of the character in two crosses except for seed yield per plant in cross RH0749 × PDZ-1 for which complementary epistasis was observed. These results suggested that substantial improvement in yield may be achieved through recurrent selection and heterosis breeding.

The present experiment was conducted to study the spatio-temporal variation of available nitrogen fraction in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in conservation agricultural based long term experiment (since 2010) during 2019-20. The treatment comprises two distinct practices, i.e. conventional tillage (CT) and zero tillage (ZT). Under ZT, permanent narrow bed without (PNB) and with residue of previous crops (PNB+R); permanent broad bed without (PBB) and with residues (PBB+R); flat bed (FB) and FB with residues (FB+R). Soil samples were collected (0-15 and 15-30 cm) at pre-flowering, flowering, boll formation and harvest stages. Adoption of CA practices increased the NH4-N, NO3-N and mineral-N fractions of nitrogen at different crop growth stages. Highest NH4-N, NO3-N and mineral-N were recorded at flowering and boll formation stage respectively. The effect of crop residue retention and crop establishment methods on available N fractions was prominent up to 15 cm soil depth. Crop residue retained plots recorded significantly higher N fraction compared to respective without residue and CT plots. Residue retained plots of FB, PBB, PNB recorded 50, 25 and 36% higher NO3-N concentration as compared to respective without residues plots at pre-flowering stage. At flowering stage, maximum NH4-N was recorded in PBB+R (17.9 mg/kg) and FB+R plots (17.5 mg/kg), which was approximately 68 and 16% higher over CT and PNB+R plots. The results revealed that zero tillage together with PBB+R could be a viable option over conventional practice for maintaining nitrogen availability to plants under cotton-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system in semiarid climate.

The present investigation was conducted to examine the genetic diversity existing among 24 genotypes of babycorn (Zea mays L.). The experiment was conducted in three replications in randomized block design during rabi 2018-19 at research farm of Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour. Different morphological and biochemical observations were taken to identify diverse genotypes among them. Observations were taken for 10 morphological characters and nine biochemical traits. Analysis of variance showed significant variation in genotypes for all the traits. On the basis of mean performance genotypes Suwan and VQL1 were found to be the best genotypes for baby corn yield. Genotypes LM14 (203.44 q/ha), LM13 (208.73 q/ha), VQL1 (203.25 q/ha), 95IOWA (200.34 q/ha) and Suwan (230.11 q/ha) were found to be the best genotypes for fodder yield. On the basis of D2 Mahalanobis statistical analysis, all the genotypes were grouped into seven clusters. Seven genotypes were found in the cluster III, followed by six genotypes in cluster II and minimum number of genotype was in cluster VI and VII (with one genotype in each cluster). The maximum intra cluster distance was found in cluster V (117.93) followed by cluster III (93.49) and minimum in cluster I (27.64). The maximum inter cluster distance was found in between cluster IV and VII (317.11) and minimum in between cluster I and VII (92.78). The present investigation revealed that cluster IV and VII were most diverse. Genotypes constituted in these clusters may be used as parents for future hybridization.
AN INSTITUTIONALIST-CONVENTIONALIST APPROACH TO THE PROCESS OF ECONOMIC CHANGE
Authors:   University Rome Unitelma Sapienza, Morseli Alessandro
Published: October 2022

This paper highlights the problems that neoclassical theory encounters in providing a comprehensive explanation of the process of economic change. Whereas institutionalism combined with conventionalism has the merit of conceptualising economic and social processes, showing that institutions are the result of social interaction and not just structures produced by rational and maximising individuals. The Economics of Convention provides a theory of rules that is close to institutional foundations. Thus, an institutionalist-conventionalist approach will explain the interaction between individuals and institutions, shaping goals and desires, in a process of economic change due to institutional change.
DOES FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT REDUCE CARBON EMISSION? EVIDENCE FROM THE PANEL OF BRICS COUNTRIES
Authors:   Institute for Management Development, India, Venkatray B.
Published: October 2022

The nature of the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on environmental pollution is unclear from the available literature and the present paper examines the short-run and long-run association of FDI with carbon emissions (CO2) in BRICS countries (Brazile, Russia, India, China and South Africa). The study estimates the panel data for the BRICS region from 1992 to 2018 with yearly frequency through panel cointegration test, panel vector error correction model and panel variance decomposition. The results, though have not found any long-run relation between FDI and CO2, they indicate that carbon emissions reduce in BRICS countries with increasing FDI in the short run and support the pollution halo hypothesis. This implies that the Multi-national Companies (MNCs) shift relatively cleaner industries and transfer greener technologies to BRICS. The results also indicate reverse causation running from CO2 to FDI in the short run. Furthermore, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the BRICS region appears to be directly influenced by both FDI and CO2. Findings suggested that BRICS countries should furthermore liberalise FDI policies and parallelly tighten the environmental regulations alongside creating awareness and enhancing the capabilities of the country to absorb efficient and eco-friendly technologies. Policies should provide impetus to industries to shift energy-efficient technologies and less emitting equipment.

Published: October 2022

George Josef Stigler is known as the scientist who strongly influenced the formation of the Chicago School of Economics. He promoted the idea of expanding price theory beyond the boundaries of economics and developed it into a universal model for the analysis of human behaviour, known as the economic approach to human behaviour. His research inspired the Public Choice literature and the Economic Theory of Law. Besides, Stigler made numerous contributions which nowadays are integral parts of economic theory. In this essay we summarize some of Stigler’s outstanding contributions, particularly his work on information economics and the economic theory of regulation.

Published: October 2022

Class II malocclusion is one of the most commonly occurring conditions, and the component mostly involved is mandibular retrognathism. The treatment modalities include both removable and fixed appliances. The advantage of fixed functional appliances is that it is not dependent on patient compliance. Various fixed functional appliances are available such as rigid, flexible, and hybrid. The present case series discusses a hybrid type of fixed functional appliance, i.e. Twin Force Bite Corrector appliance in three cases: A 15‑year‑old female patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism, a 14‑year‑old male patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism, and a 14‑year‑old female patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism. The effects produced by this appliance are similar to the conventional fixed functional appliances such as Forsus, Herbst, and also it has a distinct advantage of quick chair-side fabrication and simple design.
An empirical investigation of Tobin’s-Q augmented various Asset Pricing Models: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Azam Mohammad
Published: October 2022

Despite the strong growing popularity of Asset Pricing Models, it is difficult to estimate which factor contributes significantly in explaining average excess portfolio returns particularly in emerging equity market. Using an extensive sample over Jan-1994-Dec-2020 period, this paper aims to extend the literature by augmenting Tobin-Q adjusted risk premium with various unconditional standard asset pricing models which seeks to postulate the nexus between expected portfolios stock returns and risk-factors using monthly data of 521 enlisted financial and non-financial firms from Pakistan Stock Exchange. The multiple time-series OLS regression analysis models are employed to analyze Tobin-q risk-factor augmented with various factors models. Fama and French (2015) five-factor model excessively explains average equity returns however, our results reveal that size, value, profitability and particularly Tobin-q factor are significant while market and investment factor are redundant in Pakistan Stock Exchange. The momentum factor shows weak results in describing average equity returns in the market. Based on Gibbons, Ross and Shanken (1989) test, our findings support Tobin-Q augmented Fama and French (2015) five-factor model as appropriate for pricing stocks returns in emerging market of Pakistan. The investors, portfolio managers and policy-makers should assume the Tobin-q factor while constructing diversified portfolios for investments in Pakistan Stock Exchange
Melatonin improves tolerance to salt stress and boron toxicity in soybean and pepper plants
Authors: Sarioğlu Ali , KAYA Cengiz
Published: October 2022

The role of melatonin (MT) in promoting tolerance to salt stress and boron toxicity in soybean and pepper plants was investigated. The treatments comprised: Control (C), salt stress (SS; 100 mM NaCl), boron toxicity (BT; 2 mM B) and SS + BT. Harmful effects of combined stresses resulted in a greater decrease in plant biomass and chlorophyll contents in both plants compared to those of a single stress. However, SS and BT increased electron leakage, and contents of H2O2, proline and MDA, while an increase was observed in the activities of POD, SOD and CAT. Foliar applied MT (100 μM) caused an increase in fresh and dry mass and photosynthetic pigments of plants of both crops under both stresses imposed singly or in combination. However, melatonin reduced electron leakage, and the contents of H2O2 and MDA. Proline contents in the pepper plants increased with MT application, while they decreased in the soybean plants. The activities of vital antioxidant enzymes, POD, SOD and CAT were found to be increased with MT application in both plants.

Published: October 2022

Ornamental plant species are mostly grown for aesthetic purposes, for their fruits, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal value. Houses are decorated with various annual and perennial plants. The present study was performed to assess the ornamental plant composition, abundance, and distribution pattern with a special reference to gardening practices/environmental variables in the Rustam Valley, Pakistan. Using quantitative ecological methods, different home gardens were observed at arbitrary intervals. The frequency, relative frequency, density, relative density, and importance values were measured to determine the most frequent and least frequent ornamental plant species in each type of habitat. The initial results showed a total of 43 ornamental plant species belonging to 30 families. Presence-absence data (1, 0) for the 43 ornamental species and 50 stations were analysed using cluster and two-way cluster analyses using the PC-ORD version 5, which resulted in the identification of four different ornamental plant communities. The CANOCO version 4.5 was used to evaluate the environmental and cultural gradients of ornamental plants through the canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). The positions of characteristic plant species in a particular community were confirmed using data attribute plots. The CCA plots of the ornamental and questionnaire data show that irrigation, home size, purpose of cultivation and the use of artificial fertilizers were the main factors affecting various ornamental plant communities. Additionally, further studies should be conducted to examine, conserve, and manage the ornamental plant species diversity and contributions of such species to livelihoods in the study area.
Gharar, Fraud and Dispute in Islamic Business Transaction an Islamic Law Perspectives
Authors: Farikhin Ahmad , Mulyasari Heni
Published: October 2022

Islam adheres to the principle of justice in carrying out muamalah activities, especially in the economic field. Fairness is the main principle and foundation of business relationships between sellers and buyers. Fair means that business activities must be fair and mutually beneficial and do not cause harm to one party, so that the injured party feels aggrieved by the other party. One practice that may harm one party in a business is the practice of gharar. Gharar is an attempt to gain profit illegally way according to Islamic law because it causes the transfer of rights in a false way which has been strictly forbidden by Allah Subhanawu wa Ta'ala. Although Muslim scholars and scholars differ in expressing the definition of gharar, it explicitly has a mutual meaning. In Islamic legal texts fraud (tadlis or khilaba), lesion or misrepresentation (ghabn), gross misrepresentation (ghabn fahish), deception (shushsh), imbalance (gharar), and trickery (taghrir) are used interchangeably as to mean fraud. Such practices can lead to disputes. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by studying the literature, both classical, contemporary, and scientific journals. The results of the study found that gharar was forbidden because of the presumption between the two transacting parties. Disputes are a danger that will lead to bloodshed between Adam's children and grandchildren. The danger must be removed (al-dhararuu yuzalu). Thus the unavoidable minor gharar caused by unavoidable gharar is unavoidable and unavoidable transactions that have been agreed upon between the seller and the buyer.

Head injury case with blunt force traumatic: Case report
Authors: Purwanti T. , Erfan Kusuma M.S. , Yudianto A.
Published: October 2022

Child abuse has negative impact for children including emotional performance, mental dysfunction, and decrease intelligence.
According to the 2014 Surveillance Report of Traumatic Brain Injury, in the United States, there are approximately 2.87 million head injury patients. Head injury, or so-called head trauma, is a blunt force/sharp force on the head or face that results in temporary cerebral dysfunction. It is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the productive age group, primarily traffic accidents.
A boy went to the emergency room at Bhayangkara Kediri Hospital. There was swelling on the left head, expanding on the forehead and bruising on the left ear. Also found signs of sodomy marks in the form of abrasions around the anus. There are also bruises on the back and neck of the end.
For a definitive diagnosis, the results of the CT scan were that the patient obtained extensive cerebral contusion and caused the deviation of the midline structure to the right as far as ± 0.9 cm with subgaleal hematoma and the dilation of cerebral blood vessels.
In cases of head injury due to blunt trauma, blood infiltration will be found in the layers of the scalp and muscles in the direction of the trauma. The presence of blood infiltration is an intravital sign of evidence of extravasation of blood cells in the tissue. Another finding may be a skull base fracture in the posterior fossa caused by a direct blow to the occipital region. At the base of the skull, a fracture in the posterior fossa can cause symptoms such as bleeding from the nose, mouth, and ears, damage to the cranial nerves and cause raccoon eyes. In head injuries caused by blunt trauma can also cause subarachnoid hemorrhage and subdural hemorrhage due to rupture of the superior cerebral vein and “bridging vein” due to pressure/trauma it can cause death, to distinguish subarachnoid hemorrhage from subdural hemorrhage needs to be done sprinkling with water.

The purpose of this systematic literature analysis is to review the application features of various types of acids and to determine the most effective etching technique to achieve maximum elimination of the smear layer.
Materials and methods: the analysis of up-to-date Russian and English literature was carried out in Google Scholar and PubMed electronic databases. The analysis identified the features of various etching techniques using phosphoric, maleic and polyacrylic acids to achieve maximum elimination of the smear layer.
Results: during the analysis, 67 articles were examined. After analyzing the literature on the inclusion criteria, the total number of publications amounted 31.
Conclusion: smear layer should be removed using phosphoric or maleic acids according types of tissues: phosphoric acid application used on the enamel, maleic acid is applied on the dentine due to ensure a high-quality adhesive protocol, taking into account the sparing effect on the structural and functional units of tissues. Recommended exposure: applied to the enamel for 15-30 seconds, taking into consideration the type and the molecular weight of the acid. The exposure time of acid on dentin is recommended from 10-15 seconds, but an increase in the exposure time of maleic acid on dentin did not lead to negative changes in the structure of dentin, which significantly distinguishes the use of orthophosphoric acid. Also, static batching is not enough for high-quality treatment, because, in case of static etching, only the internal areas consisting of enamel prisms can be fully etched. Consequently, the use of dynamic etching is recommended. All authors contributed equally to the writing of the article.

The widespread use of protective masks in the COVID-19 era has led to an increasing incidence of dry eye syndrome. In connection with this, a new disease unit emerged, called the “mask-associated dry eye” (MADE). The term was first used in June 2020. by American ophthalmologist Darrell E. White. There is a simple physical mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of mask-associated dry eye. When the protective mask is not placed correctly, the exhaled air is directed in the form of an air jet to the eye surface, creating conditions for destabilization of the tear film. As a result, irritation and discomfort occur, and patients with MADE begin to rub their eyes frequently for temporary relief, increasing the chance of contracting the Sars CoV-2 virus. MADE may aggravate symptoms in patients with pre-existing dry eye syndrome, postmenopausal dry eye syndrome in women, people using smart devices for more than 2 hours a day, and lead to more severe discomfort in patients after cataract or refractive surgery. Key words: MADE, protective masks, COVID-19

Published: October 2022

Islam is a way of life which not only affects the social and personal aspects of human life but also plays a significant part in the political and economic decisions of the people. Empirical studies on the chief determining factors of economic growth have neglected the effect of Islamicity on economic growth. This study expands upon the recent literature on economic growth and Islamicity. By using the Islamicity indices data for the first time, this study provides a brand-new viewpoint on Islamicity and the economic growth nexus in the world, focusing on sub-divisions of high, middle, and low-income countries and the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC). The data spans from 2010 to 2017 while using a dynamic model. By applying the panel techniques, we provide empirical evidence indicating that the Islamicity effect becomes weaker as the economy grows regardless of whether a country is an OIC member.

Published: October 2022

Many students feel despair when addressing systemic issues of ethical significance, such as climate change, and student despair has been exacerbated by the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic. This creates an unwelcoming space for authentic student engagement. To address the problem, we present an imaginary of radical hope, a pedagogical tool informed by trauma, for developing a brave space for class discussion. It is psychologically beneficial to acknowledge negative emotions, clearing the emotional space for students to engage. Therefore, we frame ethics courses with an uncomfortable discussion, asking students to draw from their positionality and share their feelings of hope and despair, related to course material. In this paper, we explain the problem of despair motivating the project, describe the pedagogical and ethical support of our strategy, share the assignment, activity, and examples, and discuss takeaways.
ADAMTS13 Biomarkers in Management of Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Authors: Sui Jingrui , Zheng Liang , Zheng X. Long
Published: October 2022

Context.—

Immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare but potentially fatal blood disorder resulting from acquired deficiency of plasma ADAMTS13, a metalloprotease that cleaves endothelium-derived ultralarge von Willebrand factor. Standard of care for iTTP including therapeutic plasma exchange, caplacizumab, and immunosuppressives, known as triple therapy, has led to a significant reduction in the disease-related mortality rate. The first International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis TTP guideline stresses the importance of having plasma ADAMTS13 activity testing in the algorithm for diagnosis and management of iTTP. However, the predictive role of assessing plasma ADAMTS13 activity and inhibitors or other ADAMTS13-related parameters in patients with acute iTTP and during remission has not been systematically evaluated.

Objective.—

To review and assess the predictive values of testing plasma ADAMTS13 activity, antigen, and inhibitors or anti-ADAMTS13 immunoglobulin G at various stages of disease in outcomes of iTTP.

Data Sources.—

Peer-reviewed publications and personal experience.

Conclusions.—

We conclude that assessing ADAMTS13 biomarkers is not only essential for establishing the initial diagnosis, but also crucial for risk stratification and the early detection of disease recurrence. This may guide therapeutic interventions during acute episodes and for long-term follow-up of iTTP patients.
The relation between the verb držati (se) and its grammatical derivatives in the light of aspectual correlation
Authors: Balek Tijana
Published: October 2022

In contemporary aspectological researches, especially in those within the domain of the category of the aspect of the verb lexemes formalized as a binary category, there are more and more researches oriented to the empirical verification of claims about its non binary nature. This paper also has such orientation, more precisely in the paper on the example of the verb držati, its reflexive form držati se, and its grammatical derivatives (e.g. udržati, sadrža(va)ti, podržati, pridržavati (se), pridržati (se), prodržati etc.; registered in the consulted dictionaries), we try to show that the category of aspect of the verbs is more complex system than the binary one, i.e. that there are a numerous typological grammatical structures by which the category of verbal aspect, which is inherent in each verb, can be formalized.
