The high prevalence of diabetes and obesity encourages research for the development of α-glucosidase inhibitors from natural sources. This study evaluated the activity of fractions obtained from Protium spruceanum branches. Anti-α-glucosidase activity was investigated in vitro using 4-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside as the substrate, while free-radical scavenging activity was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azinobis-3-ethylbenzotiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) assays. Furthermore, a model of oxidative stress promoted by H2O2 in fibroblasts was employed, and cell viability was determined by sulforhodamine B. Fractions inhibited α-glucosidase activity effectively, highlighting the hydromethanolic fraction (HMF). Quercitrin, isolated from the HMF, was identified by spectroscopy and quantified by a validated high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) method and exhibited free radical scavenging activity comparable to the HMF. However, this flavonoid showed low anti-α-glucosidase effect, suggesting a synergism effect among several components of the HMF. This proposal is also supported by the docking results obtained by PyRx software. The compounds present in the HMF showed a noncompetitive inhibition at the in silico simulation. Finally, the HMF also protected fibroblasts against cell death induced by oxidative stress. This is the first evidence of the capacity of P. spruceanum branches to inhibit α-glucosidase activity and to counteract oxidative stress. These results encourage the use of this Brazilian plant against hyperglycemia-correlated diseases.
Inter-basin water transfer
Authors: Kheirinejad Shima , Bozorg-Haddad Omid , Quanrud David
Published: June 2021

Providing water to satisfy human demands is one of the greatest challenges of the present century and has been the source of many changes in the world. Since the amount of renewable water the Earth receives is only equal to, or even less than, that received many years ago, renewable water per capita decreases as human population increases. Inter-basin water transfer is a method to augment supply in water-scarce regions.

Increasing demand for water in some areas sometimes justifies the transfer of water from one basin to another. Water consumption in densely populated cities and in large industrial and agricultural operations produces an economic value that justifies the cost of expensive water transport equipment and infrastructure such as transmission channels, pipelines, pumping stations and dams. Under these conditions, water that is not in high demand in one basin is transferred to another basin for use. These projects are supply-driven engineering solutions to major social challenges. Inter-basin water transmission is carried out across local, regional, national, and international boundaries to overcome water scarcity, to meet demand in the agricultural, industrial and domestic sectors as well as to achieve economic and social development.

Inter-basin transfer (IBT) is an important water resource management tool that can have significant impacts on the donor and recipient basins. This chapter aims to provide insights into the concepts, logics, methods and tools used to evaluate inter-basin transfer projects. Challenges that may arise with implementation of such projects and management methods to overcome these challenges are reviewed. Several case study examples of existing projects are presented to provide insight into how to better manage such projects in the future.
Land use planning and overseas production
Authors: Bozorg-Haddad Omid , Rajabi Mohammad-Reza , Loáiciga Hugo A.
Published: June 2021

Land use planning is defined as the regulation of the relationship between space and human activities. Space occupied by human settlements, farmland and forests, parks, fallow land, rivers and lakes, and by transportation networks constitutes a network of areas dedicated to land uses such as agriculture, forestry, rangeland, industry, mining, recreation, and fishing. Land use planning is a comprehensive and long-term approach to planning human relations and their activities in space; it is the task of regulating and coordinating the strategies and general orientations of sectors, and it is the foundation of economies and human activities. The purpose of land use planning is to achieve an optimal distribution of economic and social activities. Land use selection and management are commonly done without regard to the carrying capacity of the land which, when exceeded, results in economic losses and in a reduction of environmental quality. The overall goal of land use planning is to achieve the optimal use of the land within the national interest framework. Accordingly, formulating a successful plan for managing the development of a country requires proper attention to the roles of geography and land use. Creation of a suitable balance between the Earth and its use by human activities can be achieved by proper land management. The increasing importance of environmental issues and human alteration of natural environments calls for sustainable development and land use practices that conserve natural resources while benefiting society and the environment. Nowadays, due to many factors such as climate change, population growth, changing standards of living, poverty, access to education, and mismanagement of natural and water resources, there is a need to diversify food and agricultural production in a variety of ways. Overseas cultivation is one of them, and it has potential for improving agricultural production. The practice of overseas cultivation by a country means planting and harvesting of a variety of agricultural products in other countries to be sold in its domestic market or in foreign markets. There are five basic principles that underline the success of overseas cultivation involving any group of countries: (1) mutual respect for the governance of all countries; (2) making and abiding by agreements between the countries; (3) non-interference in the internal problems of each country and respect for the territorial integrity of all countries; (4) optimal use of human resources and capacities to support agricultural activities and trade; and (5) expanding security and military cooperation.

Published: June 2021

In this paper, the responses of hydro-meteorological drought to changing climate in the Be River Basin located in Southern Vietnam are investigated. Climate change scenarios for the study area were statistically downscaled using the Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator tool, which incorporates climate projections from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) based on an ensemble of five general circulation models (Can-ESM2, CNRM-CM5, HadGEM2-AO, IPSL-CM5A-LR, and MPI-ESM-MR) under two Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). The Soil and Water Assessment Tool model was employed to simulate streamflow for the baseline time period and three consecutive future 20-year periods of 2030s (2021–2040), 2050s (2041–2060), and 2070s (2061–2080). Based on the simulation results, the Standardized Precipitation Index and Standardized Discharge Index were estimated to evaluate the features of hydro-meteorological droughts. The hydrological drought has a 1-month lag time from the meteorological drought and the hydro-meteorological droughts have negative correlations with the El Niño Southern Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Under the climate change impacts, the trends of drought severity will decrease in the future; while the trends of drought frequency will increase in the near future period (2030s), but decrease in the following future periods (2050 and 2070s). The findings of this study can provide useful information for the policy- and decisionmakers for a better future planning and management of water resources in the study region.

Published: June 2021

In this study, a response surface methodology (RSM) approach using central composite design (CCD) was investigated to develop a mathematical model and to optimize the effects of pH, adsorbent amount and temperature related to the hexavalent chromium removal by biosorption on peanut shells (PSh). The highest removal percentage of 30.28% was found by the predicted model under the optimum conditions (pH of 2.11, 0.73 g of PSh and 37.2 °C) for a 100 mg/L initial Cr(VI) concentration, which was very near to the experimental value (29.92%). The PSh was characterized by SEM, EDX, FTIR, BET, XRD analyses. Moreover, a Langmuir isotherm fitted well (R2 = 0.992) with the experimental data, and the maximum adsorption capacity was discovered to be 2.48 and 3.49 mg/g respectively at 25 and 45 °C. Kinetic data were well foreseen by pseudo second order. Thermodynamic study depicted that biosorption of Cr(VI) onto PSh was spontaneous and endothermic. Regeneration of the PSh using NaOH showed a loss <5% in the Cr(VI) removal efficiency up to three recycle runs. In summary, the Cr(VI) removal onto economic, sensitive and selective biosorbent (PSh) was optimized using CCD to study biosorption behaviors.
Newly Designed Decellularized Scaffolds for Scaffold-based Gene Therapy from Elastic Cartilages via Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid and Alkaline/ Protease Treatments
Authors: Huang Ching-Cheng
Published: June 2021

Background:

Scaffold-based gene therapy provides a promising approach for tissue engineering,
which was important and popular as it combined medical applications and engineering materials’
knowledge.

Objective:

The decellularization techniques were employed to remove the cellular components from
porcine elastic cartilages, leaving a native decellularized Extracellular Matrix (dECM) composition
and architecture integrity of largely insoluble collagen, elastin, and tightly bound glycosaminoglycans.
For newly designed collagen scaffold samples, elastic cartilages were hydrolyzed by protease with different
concentrations to gain state completely and clearly.

Methods:

An extraction process of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (ScCO2) was used to remove cellular
components from porcine elastic cartilage. The dECM scaffolds with collagen must be characterized
by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Scanning
Electron Microscope (SEM).

Results:

The study provided a new treatment combined with supercritical carbon dioxide and alkaline/
protease to prepare dECM scaffolds with hole-scaffold microstructures and introduce into a potential
application on osteochondral tissue engineering using scaffold-based gene therapy. The new
process is simple and efficient. The pore-scaffold microstructures were observed in dECM scaffolds
derived from porcine elastic cartilages. The Tdmax values of the resulting dECM scaffolds were observed
at over 330oC.

Conclusion:

A series of new scaffolds were successfully obtained from porcine tissue by using ScCO2
and alkaline/enzyme treatments such as a mixing aqueous solution of NH4OH and papain. The dECM
scaffolds with high thermal stability were obtained. The resulting scaffold with clean pore-scaffold
microstructure could be a potential application for scaffold-based gene therapy.

Published: June 2021

The paper sought to investigate the effect government expenditure on economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa using a panel data for 35 Sub-Saharan African countries for the period 2006-2018. The paper adopted dynamic panel data and estimates were achieved by using two-step system GMM while taking into account the problem of instrument proliferation. The paper provided evidence that education and health expenditure are key determinants of income growth for SSA. The impact of education spending on cross-country income variation is more effective in low income SSA countries than the middle income SSA countries. However, military expenditure on output growth is more effective in improving income level of middle income SSA countries than low income SSA countries. SSA countries should allocate more funding towards education sector and should also avail compulsory and free primary and secondary education. SSA should carry out health reforms which improve primary health and universal health insurance coverage.
Media-Player Controlling by Hand Gestures
Authors: Varshika DSS
Published: June 2021

In this Project we try to control our media player using hand gestures with the help of OpenCV and Python. Computer applications require interaction between human and computer. This interaction needs to be unrestricted and it has made it challenging to traditional input devices such as keyboard, mouse, pen etc. Hand gesture is an important component of body languages in linguistics. Human computer interaction becomes easy with the use of the hand as a device. Use of hand gestures to operate machines would make interaction interesting. Gesture recognition has gained a lot of importance. Hand gestures are used to control various applications like windows media player, robot control, gaming etc. Use of gesture makes interaction easy, convenient and does not require any extra device. Vision and audio recognition can be used together. But audio commands may not work in noisy environments.

System for Detecting Driver Alertness while Driving
Authors: Sapkal Prajwal Chandrakant
Published: June 2021

In this project, we are going to present a system for sleep detection alarm to monitor the driver, based on the real time surveillance and alert him as well as post it at remote location whenever it’s necessary using cloud platform. This device is to be developed using the Raspberry Pi, Open CV library and camera module. The required coding part of the project will be done using Python language. The main component of the project will be pretrained landmark detector as a software part. It identifies 68 points on the human face. The Dlib’s landmark will detect 68 facial landmarks which enables us to extract the various facial structures using simple Python array slices. The facial landmarks of fully closed eye and a fully opened eye will be first plotted. This data is further processed and tested with some results which will give the information about driver’s alertness. Once the facial landmarks associated with an eye are determined, we can apply the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) algorithm. In our case, we’ll be monitoring the eye aspect ratio to see if the values of the facial landmarks, thus implying that the driver/user has closed their eyes or distracted from driving or yawn. Once implemented, our algorithm will start by localising the facial landmarks on real time basis. We can then will be able to monitor the eye aspect ratio to determine if the eyes are close or nearly close which will be the indicator for driver is falling asleep. And then finally raising an alarm if the eye aspect ratio is below a pre-defined threshold for a sufficiently long amount of time. The alarm will be loud enough to wake up the driver and bring back his attention. At the same time data is passed to remote location using cloud whenever it’s necessary.

The Formation of Polycode Text Theory
Authors: Novospasskaya Natalia V. , Zou Huajing
Published: June 2021

This review article is devoted to the theory of polycode texts that are represented as a combination of verbal and non-verbal components. This unity is supported by the meaning, structure and function, under which we mean the focus on solving a single communicative task. A polycode text includes signs of various semiotic systems, for example, colour and kinesics. A number of synonymous terminological descriptions of this phenomenon - creolized text, polycode text, polysemiotic text, semiotically enriched test - indicates that we are currently witnessing the formation of the theory of polycode texts. Theoretical and terminological understanding of the object of our description occurs in such directions as the analysis of the components of polycode text and their correlation, description of methods and prospects for the study of polycode texts. The pragmatics of a polycode text, with a brief overview of the most notable works of Russian linguists, is considered in such main areas of its implementation as humorous polycode text and polycode text in cinematography. The most studied phenomenon in this direction is the description of the polycode text of advertising of various types. New directions of analysis are the description of the functioning of the polycode text in political linguistics and Internet communication. It is important to note the increase in the number of works that investigate the use of polycode text in school teaching and in teaching foreign languages. A new area of study of polycode text is its description as a reflection of the national linguistic picture of the world. This review is based on academic works, which are fundamental in this area of research, and also includes articles published in scientific journals in Russia over the past five years.
Al-Ghazali's Image in Al-Jabri's works
Authors: Lachkar Mohammed
Published: June 2021

Muhammad Abed Al-Jabri (1935-2010) is a famous philosophical and scientific figure in contemporary Arab thought. He is the author of the philosophy of "the Arab mind" and "the criticism of the Arab mind." He tried to establish his theory of looking at the ancient Arab heritage and modern Arab thought. He also tried to view them according to the critical vision criteria, which he laid the methodological foundations for in his essential philosophical writings, especially in the critique of the Arab mind trilogy. In this study, I seek to analyze and study various aspects of his analytical and critical approach towards Al-Ghazali and his theoretical creativity. As well as revealing the specificity of his position on the intellectual path of Al-Ghazali himself, based on the sequence of his books, Al-Jabri considered Al-Ghazali's personality as a large and complex problem, so that It is challenging to define entirely and accurately. However, this does not exclude him from the possibility of defining the criteria of science in general and philosophy in particular. In this research, I tried to reveal that the position of Al-Jabri himself represents in some sense the continuation of the problematic and complexity of Al-Ghazali himself. Al-Jabri raised more problems than the answer to them. And the controversy remains and is getting stronger. The research into the personality and works of Al-Ghazali seems to have been and will remain for a long time due to the problematic character of Al-Ghazali himself, the diversity and differences of his intellectual, creative writing, and his tortuous nature. Hence, this study constitutes a contribution in this field.

In the 16th century, Moscow proclaimed itself to be the the third Rome and discovered the special way or Russian Orthodox Messianism doctrine. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the idea of Russia's unique global historical role went beyond exclusively church discussions, and the idea of Moscow as the Third Rome acquired an important place in the structure of imperial ideology. Even after a break with the past, after the 1917 October Revolution, the country did not abandon the idea of Messianism, which organically fitted into the structure of Soviet ideology. At the same time, reanimation of messianic moods was carried out here in the format of the doctrine of the World Republic of Soviets and/or World Revolution. Of course, some backbone elements of old Messianism underwent a significant transformation, which can hardly be called secularization. The purpose of this article is to show that the time 1917 mid-1930s may be described with the help of a peculiar dialectic, as the unity of a radical break with the past and the specifically manifested continuity with it. Subsequently, despite large-scale changes, the idea of the peculiarity of the Russian way, firstly in Soviet and then in Russian society, including the specific perception of its past, continued to remain an influential political brand. This kind of discourse should be considered highly archaic today; however, it does not become an attribute of the distant past, retaining the attractiveness and even acquiring state ideology.

The сoncept and types of factual communities in the modern theory of law
Authors: Tsukanova Elena Yur’evna
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the problems of formation and positioning of the category of factual communities in legal science. The relevance of this phenomenon in law is due to the need for a broader approach to the study of a set of factual circumstances that are the grounds for the emergence, change or termination of legal relations, which undoubtedly contributes to a more effective implementation of the goals of both lawmaking and law enforcement practice. The purpose of this article is to determine the prerequisites for the formation of the legal category under consideration, to identify the main types of factual communities, as well as to understand their functions. Achievement of this goal will make it possible with sufficient certainty to identify the main characteristics of the specified legal category, as well as to determine functional links with related legal concepts. The methodological basis of the article was made by modern achievements in the theory of knowledge. In the process of research, theoretical, general philosophical (dialectical, analysis, synthesis, deduction, systemic method), as well as traditional legal methods (formal-logical, normative-dogmatic and others) were used. In the course of the research, based on the analysis of the relationship of physical objects, phenomena and their groups among themselves, it was concluded that the term factual communities is a logical continuation of the development of the theory of legal facts, reflects the interconnected association of individual legal facts, as well as their actual composition. Such associations can have a different scope, as a result of which their functionality may also differ. The primary factual commonality is the actual composition. Factual systems are larger in volume and more complex in structure.

Focuses on the concept of Space Traffic Management (STM), the matter which has been of high interest for many space actors in the last three decades. With the emergence of the NewSpace era, and flourishment of commercial and economic incentives for space activities, this topic has gained the attention of many space actors in the preceding decades, thus turning into a separate agenda item in the Legal Subcommittee of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. However, establishing and implementing such regulations is a challenging task, especially for new space actors. This article aims to assess the existing challenges of STM and provide solutions to overcome them. Firstly, this article provides the necessity of establishing such a regulation: it is evaluated and discussed while describing the requirements for achieving this goal. Secondly, the paper studies definitions provided by governmental and non-governmental entities regarding this concept and the measures taken towards its realising. Finally, the research discusses the challenges that space actors face regarding implementing this concept, both legal and practical. In conclusion, the authors highlight the importance of promoting endeavours and coordination among all current and potential space actors with due considerations for their relevancy.

Authors: Selbach Helena Vitalina , Robaina Natália Lopes , Hoffmann Daniel Henrique
Published: June 2021

Os contextos de ensino de línguas adicionais vêm se diversificando na contemporaneidade e, dentre eles, está o crescente ensino de língua inglesa (LI) para crianças (CIRINO; DENARDI, 2019). Neste trabalho, apresentamos um levantamento bibliográfico exploratório de relatos de pesquisas sobre práticas no ensino de línguas adicionais para crianças nos contextos da Educação Infantil e/ou no Ensino Fundamental I. O enfoque recai sobre trabalhos empíricos recentes que reportam experiências no ensino e na formação de professores de línguas para crianças. De natureza qualitativa, este trabalho inscreve-se no âmbito da Linguística Aplicada na medida em que se preocupa com questões de uso da linguagem (CAVALCANTI, 1986) relativas a ações afirmativas e a práticas de sala de aula. Os resultados apontam a predominância da LI em relação às demais línguas, bem como uma variação em termos de temáticas de ensino e ações de educação de professores, objetivos de pesquisa, resultados e/ou impactos das pesquisas para as comunidades escolares investigadas.
”Leder! Er du relationskompetent?”
Authors: Hansen Kathrine Lund , Nielsen Søren Beck , Fosgerau Christina Fogtmann
Published: June 2021

Begrebet relationskompetence er et allestedsnærværende begreb i ledelseskontekst. Der mangler imidlertid videnskabelige bidrag, der præciserer, hvad kompetencen dækker over, og hvordan den udfolder sig i praksis. Denne artikel har til formål at kvalificere og definere begrebet relationskompetence teoretisk og empirisk. Vi fokuserer særligt på samtalen som den mindste analyseenhed, hvor relationskompetencen har sit udtryk, gør indtryk og møder sine udfordringer. I artiklen vil den teoretiske kvalificering derfor blive efterfulgt af en empirisk analyse af, hvordan elementer af relationskompetence kan udspille sig i situeret samtalepraksis mellem en leder og medarbejder.
