Imported breeds raised in tropical countries demand greater use of chemical control of ectoparasites, however, this practice can compromise the results of biotechnologies of reproduction. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of chemical residues of tick or their metabolites in the blood and in the follicular fluid and to verify the in vitro embryo production (IVEP) of Wagyu cows, raised in a tropical country, submitted to fluazuron based tick treatment. Twenty adult Wagyu bovine females were used, donors of oocytes, divided into 2 groups: G1 - animals that were not submitted to tick control and G2, animals that were submitted to chemical control of ticks with fluazuron based product (2.5 mg kg-1 of body weight). After application (D0), all cows were submitted to estrous synchronization and, in four moments (D12, D33, D54 and D75) the aspirations of the follicular fluid from the dominant follicles were performed, the oocytes were collected for IVEP and were collected blood samples for extraction and analysis of the presence of chemical residues, using GC-MS. Plasma residues of fluazuron were detected up to 54 days after application of the tick, but no residues were detected in the follicular fluid. Group 1 had a higher number of total and viable oocytes (p<0.0001), however, the viability rate and the blastocyst rate was lower (p<0.0001), showing that the use of ticks compromised IVEP.

National food security, immigration reform, and the importance of worker engagement in agricultural guestworker debates
Authors: Zoodsma Anna , Dudley Mary Jo , Minkoff-Zern Laura-Anne
Published: August 2022

This article looks at the United States’ federal H-2A Temporary Agricultural Visa Program and reforms proposed by the Farm Workforce Mod­ernization Act. In this policy analysis, we draw on media content analysis and qualitative inter­views to compare the viewpoints of farmers, workers, grower and worker advocacy groups, intermediary agents, and politicians. We find that perspectives on the program are dependent upon actors’ level of direct interaction with workers. Moderate-sized farmers and regionally based worker advocacy groups tend to be the most concerned with day-to-day program operations and fair working condi­tions. In contrast, national-level advocacy groups, intermediary agents, and politi­cians are less critical of the program and seek to broadly expand farmer access to guestworkers, justifying proposed pro­gram reforms with dis­courses of national food security and immigration reform. Ultimately, we suggest that engaging a food systems lens to under­stand these policies provides a more nuanced per­spective, addressing national food security and immigration as related issues.

The language in the Romanian political thought of 1850–1890. The grand debates and their outcomes/Limba în gândirea politicǎ româneascǎ între anii 1850–1890. Marile dezbateri şi rezultatele lor
Authors: Kurkina Ana-Teodora
Published: August 2022

The article focuses on the Romanian linguistic debates of the second half of the 19th century and their influence on the processes of state- and nation-building. The essay concentrates on the attempts of using the ties of the common language as a defensive element that can not only mark the local nation-building strategies, but oppose similar competing foreign schemes. The current paper can be considered an effort to see and analyze the place of language in the Romanian political thought between 1850 and 1890 when Romanian national state emerged on the world arena and its manifestation sharpened the disputes regarding its linguistic and ethnic homogeneity. Furthermore, the article regards the language as a primary strategic instrument in the process of state-building, used by the participants of the debates, whose views and ideas were strictly tied to linguistic unity. The ideas of languages being parts of the “bodies of nations” expressed by Romanian thinkers are put into the General European context, which is briefly investigated as well.
Barbarian envoys at Byzantium in the 6th Century
Authors: Lung Ecaterina
Published: August 2022

The byzantine diplomacy has been for long time an object for the historical research, its efficiency being considered one of the explanations for the so long survival of the Empire. The barbarian embassies sent to Constantinople were studied mainly in the context of general discussions on byzantine diplomacy.

We intend to focus on the possibility of deciphering a barbaric point of view regarding the relations with the Byzantine Empire, at the beginning of the Middle Ages, when the narrative sources that are available to us have a Byzantine origin, or, when referring to barbarian kingdoms in the West, they are profoundly influenced by Roman and Roman-Byzantine traditions.
Considerations regarding Barrow Burials and Metal Depositions during the Early Bronze Age in the Carpathian-Danube Area
Authors: Preda Bianca
Published: August 2022

The beginning of the Early Bronze Age brought significant changes in the Carpathian-Danube Area, including new burial customs, a different economy and innovative technologies, most of them with eastern steppe origins. Thus, burial barrows appeared in the landscape raised over rectangular grave-pits, sometimes with wood or stone structures containing individuals lying in contracted or supine position with flexed legs, stained with ochre, rarely accompanied by grave-goods like wares, ornaments or weapons made of stone, bone and precious metals. Among the metallurgical innovations, items such as silver hair rings, copper shaft-hole axes and tanged daggers are considered specific to the new era. However, a careful approach of the deposition contexts of these artifacts, as compared with the eastern space, indicates that in some cases the objects were not just adopted, but reinterpreted and involved in different social practices. This paper aims to analyze the manner in which metal pieces were disposed of and to identify the rules governing this behavior.
A Non-Referential and Non-Cognitive Theory of Truth, In Vijñānavāda Buddhism
Authors: Nedu Ovidiu
Published: August 2022

Vijñānavāda Buddhism claims all kind of experience, including knowledge, is “mere ideation” (vijñaptimātra), being devoid of any objective counter-part, of any objective value. The experience of knowledge is determined solely by the individual predispositions of the knowing subject (his “imprints of the linguistic constructions —abhilāpavāsanā) and not by an alleged “external reality”.

Nevertheless, the school is able to claim the existence of a “truth”, even in the absence of an objective reality that could account for this “truth”. The truth of Vijñānavāda philosophy does not mean, in an Aristotelian or realistic manner, the concordance between subjective representation and objective reality but a mere consonance of the various subjective knowledge experiences. What determines such a truth are the so-called “shared” (sādhāraṇa) seeds (bīja) of experience, which inflict a certain degree of similarity to the experiences of various individual subjects. Hence, the truth has no cognitive value, being rather a state of Karmic tuning, i.e. the consonance of the experiences engendered by the “shared” part of the Karmic imprints of each individual being.
Contributions to the Economic History of the Press in Romania
Authors: Petcu Marian
Published: August 2022

Researches from the domain of our journalism's history have been focused especially on literary press, monographs of certain publications, precise studies related to a historical moment or a historical stage, and article analysis. The economical problem, probably the most important, kept being bypassed even if it still submits proof of a matter-of-course relationship between demand and supply. In this historical sketch I sought to emphasize precisely the costs for the existence of certain publications in hopes that other researchers will find this point of view as interesting.
Frédéric Mistral, Provençal Poet and Friend of the Romanians
Authors: Zamfir Constantin
Published: August 2022

Frédéric Mistral (1830–1914) was a significant poet and scholar from France in the mid-nineteenth century. Born in southern France, he fought all of his life for the cultural rights for local people, safeguarding the language and culture of Provence. He was also a promoter of the unity of the European nations with Latin origins, fighting for their close collaboration, integrating Romania in this project. In our study we try to present summarily the work of this remarkable poet who was also a great friend of Romanians.
The Wallachians in the Nibelungenlied and their Connection with the Eastern Romance Population in the Early Middle Ages
Authors: Drugaş Şerban George Paul
Published: August 2022

This article analyses the fragments in the Nibelingenlied that refer to the Wallachians, by their name (Adventure XXII, Stanza 1366 in manuscript C), the name of their country (Wallachian land), and/or of their leader (Ramunc – actually still a collective name, reaffirming the Roman origin of those Wallachians) (Adv. XXII, S 1370 MS. C; XXXI, S 1925 MS. C).

The mentions above lead to the Romance population from Pannonia to the east, echoing the times of the first two crusades, when that particular people, the Romanians, were neighbors of the Poles, Russians, and “Greeks” (Byzantines), precisely as they were grouped by the lied (Adv. XXII, S 1366 MS. C).

The Wallachians were a Romance nation in the east of Europe, with leaders of their own, having a good cavalry and distinctive costumes. They represent the offspring of the Romance population attested in various sources, both north and south of the Danube, from the times the Roman province of Dacia onward.

The Domestication of an Itinerant Object: The True Cross Reliquary from the Louvre Museum
Authors: Uzdenskaya Zina
Published: August 2022

The Reliquary of the True Cross from the Louvre Museum serves as a good illustration of some key ideas which are of high interest for modern art historians studying medieval art. These ideas are: hybridity (syncretism, compositeness), portability (mobility), circulation, and transparency (crossing borders). The Reliquary is a product of a complicated cross-cultural exchange with more than one participant. First of all, it is a composite, or hybrid, object. The cross-shaped reliquary was produced in the Holy Land in the twelfth century, most likely in Jerusalem, while the casket, in which the cross is housed, was produced later, probably in a South Italian or Sicilian workshop of the late twelfth or early thirteenth century. Furthermore, the reliquary belongs to a big family of portable objects, which are defined by the feature of portability, and which add to its material value significant symbolical value when they are transported beyond the borders - geographical, cultural, or political - of the region of their production. In order to better understand the reliquary and its value, I answer two sets of questions. First is the set of “traditional” questions of Western European art history, namely authorship, style, date, and periodization. Then I consider this reliquary as an “object without borders,” in terms of Jennifer Purtle, and find answers to the kinds of questions related to the specificity of portable objects: What is the object within the context in which it exists? How and why does an object move beyond borders? What meaning and what cultural and economic value accrue to an object when it exists without borders? Answering these questions, I show how the reliquary moved from one cultural and political context to another, being re-shaped and re-considered on the course of its travels.
Perspectives for Researching British Appeasement of Nazi Germany in the Inter-War Years Using the Digitized Newspaper Collections of the British Library
Authors: Vasiliu Andrei
Published: August 2022

This paper aims to verify that the methods for researching the British appeasement policy towards Germany in the inter-war years can include the new method of studying the digitized collections of newspapers of the British Library. The policy of appeasement led by Great Britain during the inter-war years still represents a very attractive subject of research. The challenge lies not only in the new data harvested from primary sources such as documents and newspapers but also in the new methods of researching that may be applied, and that may increase the interest of scholars. Today, researching the digitized collections of archives are not even a futuristic resource, but a growing necessity. Accessing the British Library's digitized collections through the British Newspaper Archive website is often easier and more efficient than going to the archives. The site has more than 40 million digitized newspapers, mainly local periodicals, which can be accessed by searching for keywords, establishing filters and saving results to retrieve them later. The electronic resources of the digitized collections provide valuable help in my doctoral research on the Anglo-French appeasement reflected in the newspapers, which proves to be a great challenge, given the fact that the subject was widely covered in many of the central newspapers. But, of course, this method immediately poses multiple questions: is this method of research as rigorous as the traditional research conducted in the archives? Does this method provide the intercoder reliability framework required for such works? These are the research questions that remain at the center of this article. Previous research on the subject of digitized collections and also the analysis of the resources of the British Newspaper Archive in comparison with the traditional British Library resources can provide an answer.

This article explores and examines the consulship as an institution in the Eastern and Western halves of the Roman Empire in the period known as Late Antiquity, that is from 284 CE to 541 CE. It investigates how the consulship of the Late Antique period differed from that of the Republic and earlier Empire, what it consisted of who the occupants of the office were, the process of the inauguration of the new consul, the games associated with it, how the consuls were represented on the consular diptychs and the end of the institution.
Central and Eastern Europe in European Unity Vision of St. John Paul II through Heritage of St. Cyril and Methodius
Authors: Hnidyk Iryna
Published: August 2022

During the Soviet and post-Soviet period, countries of Central and Eastern Europe experienced difficult social transformation processes. At the same time, these states remained marginal in European integration projects. In this context, the European integration vision of Pope John Paul II became relevant. He emphasized the important role of Central and Eastern part of Europe, its identity, spiritual and cultural heritage in the context of the European unity concepts. St. Cyril and Methodius became the special symbols and the personification of identity of Central and Eastern Europe in Pope's vision. On the basis of analysis of researches, works and speeches the connection between the figures of St. Cyril and Methodius and the European vision of John Paul II is analysed. Particular attention is paid to his interpretation of actuality of St. Cyril and Methodius heritage for modern Europe in three important aspects: European integration, ecumenism, spiritual and cultural European identity.
Consideraciones críticas sobre la reforma educativa de los noventa y sus implicaciones curriculares en El Salvador
Authors: Armando González Luis
Published: August 2022

En este artículo, el autor hace un análisis crítico sobre la reforma educativa de El Salvador en los años noventa. Contextualiza como, en la región latinoamericano durante los ochenta y noventa, se dio un conjunto de reformas educativas obedeciendo y sustentándose en la globalización neoliberal. Sostiene como tesis central que, en el caso de El Salvador, dicha reforma educativa se basó en el modelo económico neoliberal, del cual tomó sus rasgos distintivos: el economicismo de sus enfoques conceptuales, el practicismo e instrumentalismo de sus métodos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y la identificación de sus objetivos con la formación de personas aptas para el consumo y con las destrezas adecuadas para insertarse en el nuevo modelo económico. Concluye que esta reforma trajo al descalabro educativo en El Salvador, con lo cual se traicionaba los ideales humanistas y críticos, pero con el cual se cumplía el propósito de los grupos empresariales emergentes en la postguerra y sus representantes políticos de poner al sistema educativo en función de un modelo económico terciarizado, maquilero y remesero.

Published: August 2022

Un programa de tutorías a nivel posgrado tiene como propósito apoyar a los estudiantes a desarrollar actividades de investigación, profesionales y de solución a problemas de tipo académico; entre estas actividades se encuentra reportar de manera escrita u oral los resultados de su investigación. En este sentido el acompañamiento de un tutor es importante ya que impartir una buena plática en algún evento académico no es tarea fácil. En este trabajo se presentan algunas sugerencias para impartir una plática académica considerando el tiempo de exposición, el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y el público a quien está dirigida, como ejemplo de guía tutorial. Este trabajo está basado fuertemente en la experiencia como profesores del posgrado de Ciencias Básicas del Centro de Interdisciplinario de Investigación y Docencia en Educación Técnica (CIIDET) impartiendo conferencias, seminarios, clase y pláticas cortas.
Cambios culturales y exigencias a la formación universitaria de la juventud
Authors: Baeza Correa Jorge
Published: August 2022

Una de las características especiales que presenta la justicia penal juvenil respecto a la de adultos, es el tipo de respuesta que se proporciona al infractor. En el derecho penal del adolescente se parte de la base de que los fines preventivo-especiales juegan en él un papel central y protagónico, privilegiando la intervención educativa por sobre la retributiva. Esta prevención especial positiva es entendida en términos de resocialización del adolescente con objetivos socioeducativos de retsponsabilidad penal del mismo, orientado a la educación para la vida en sociedad. Aquí se expone la vigencia del sistema preventivo propuesto por Don Bosco, receptado implícitamente en el pensamiento penal juvenil contemporáneo y en organismos internacionales de derechos humanos. Estos sostienen que la mejor manera de combatir la delincuencia juvenil es la prevención por medio de política social y educacional, y no con la imposición de sanciones privativas de libertad, que deben ser utilizadas tan solo como último recurso y por el tiempo más breve que proceda.
POPULISMO PENAL NO DISCURSO PARLAMENTAR: O DEBATE DA VIOLÊNCIA POLICIAL NA CÂMARA DOS DEPUTADOS (2019-2021)
Authors: Novaes Lins Igor , Barbosa Ferreira João Victor Victor
Published: August 2022

Neste artigo investigamos o enquadramento e as disputas discursivas em torno das polícias e dos casos de racismo policial. Qual a posição dos parlamentares sobre os casos de violência policial? Nosso objetivo, para além de ter um panorama geral, é mapear a racionalidade dos discursos que utilizam o populismo penal como retórica. Para levantar o pensamento dos parlamentares, foi feita uma pesquisa nos discursos parlamentares da Câmara dos Deputados entre os anos de 2019 e 2021 e o referencial teórico-metodológico empregado é a Análise Crítica de Discurso (ADC). Concluímos que, de forma geral, nos casos de violência policial contra pessoas não taxadas de “criminosas” (os “inocentes”), os parlamentares de direita fizeram discursos de pesar, mas advertindo para a culpa do crime em colocá-los em meio à guerra. Por sua vez, quando a vítima era supostamente “criminosa”, através de estereótipos de “meliantes”, “bandidos” e “marginais” eles remontam padrões de uma forma falsamente “neutra”, racialmente criados por meio do sistema de justiça criminal. Por outro lado, parlamentares alinhados à esquerda condenaram a violência policial e ligaram os casos ao processo de escravidão de pessoas negras e ao racismo estrutural.
INFLUENCIADORES E ATIVISMO DIGITAL: O USO DO TWITTER NA DENÚNCIA DO CASO DA CHACINA DO JACAREZINHO
Authors: Delphino Gabriel
Published: August 2022

Esse trabalho tem como problema central a identificação de como denúncias e construções de debates sobre violações de direitos humanos ocorrem nas redes sociais, sendo analisado o caso das reações na rede social Twitter da chacina do Jacarezinho, ocorrida no dia 06 de maio de 2021. Com isso, objetiva-se observar como o tema chega no site e de qual forma foi organizada a dinâmica dos atores envolvidos, observando quem obteve mais interações entre si na rede. Como objetivo específico pretendeu-se, também, observar como o debate sobre o assunto foi construído para além de sua denúncia, inserindo também dados sobre o dia posterior ao caso, onde os fatos já tinham sido absorvidos pela rede social. Para isso foram extraídos dados da plataforma Twitter e aplicados ao software Gephi, visando a criação de grafos que possibilitam a visualização dessas informações em uma rede integrada, considerando seus pesos e conexões. No programa foram construídas as redes e priorizadas as criações das aglomerações entre os usuários, os destaques de influenciadores do tema a partir de seus pesos de entrada e a relação dos blocos ideologicamente identificados entre si. Com isso, foi possível observar que a atuação política dos moradores, movimentos sociais e influenciadores engajados na pauta racial foi fundamental na construção de uma narrativa em que se pudesse compreender aquelas pessoas como vítimas, em direta disputa com atores que endossam a versão da corporação policial como única a ser considerada.
MINORIA SIM, MAS POLÍTICO PROFISSIONAL TAMBÉM: PERFIL E PRESENÇA DOS DEPUTADOS FEDERAIS BRASILEIROS AUTODECLARADOS PRETOS NAS REDES SOCIAIS DIGITAIS DA 56ª LEGISLATURA (2019-2023)
Authors: França Marioto Djiovanni Jonas , Cardoso Sampaio Rafael
Published: August 2022

Os negros – a soma de pretos e pardos – representam a maioria na população brasileira, porém, historicamente, são sub-representados na Câmara dos Deputados. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho é entender a presença digital dos vinte e um deputados federais autodeclarados pretos na 56ª legislatura (2019-2023) da Câmara dos Deputados brasileira e como ela pode estar relacionada às variáveis sociopolíticas. Coletou-se informações sobre o perfil dessa elite do repositório de dados eleitorais do TSE, assim como a presença no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram e YouTube desses parlamentares, para construir um índice de presença digital. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. O perfil dessa elite é majoritariamente masculino, com alto grau de escolaridade, mais velho e de políticos profissionais, e o indicador da presença digital dos deputados pretos é de 84%, demonstrando que existe um cuidado em estar presente dentro das redes sociais digitais.
O DESLOCAMENTO DE DECISÕES POLÍTICAS PARA O STF: UMA ANÁLISE DAS ADIS ENTRE 2010 E 2019
Authors: Paz Anderson
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo tem o seguinte problema: qual foi o padrão de deslocamento de decisões políticas para o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), em sede de Ações Diretas de Inconstitucionalidade (ADIs), entre os anos de 2010 e 2019? As ADIs são adotadas como categorias de análise por possibilitarem a retirada do ordenamento jurídico de decisões democráticas e também por comporem a maioria das ações de controle concentrado de constitucionalidade no período considerado. São utilizados instrumentos de estatística descritiva para analisar a forma como as decisões políticas foram deslocadas para o STF em ADIs na última década. Para tanto, replica-se o modelo de estudo de Vianna et. al. (1999, 2007) em um recorte temporal entre os anos de 2010 e 2019 a fim de compreender se o STF continua a receber ADIs, majoritariamente, dos mesmos autores, sendo as normas questionadas das mesmas origens e dos mesmos ramos do direito. A conclusão é que o padrão de deslocamento da última década permaneceu relativamente semelhante, salvo algumas alterações no quantitativo de ações de governadores e de ações de natureza administrativa.

The global spreads of the COVID-19 pandemic made people live under lockdown or quarantine, which was a disturbing psychosocial experience. Because of the international and nationwide lockdowns the pandemic brought, the psychosocial well-being of the people, especially the vulnerable groups (older adults), was negatively impacted. This negative psychosocial impact has been neglected with more attention being paid to safety and prevention, thereby leaving the empirical data on how the pandemic has affected caregivers sparse. This study was, therefore, carried out to ascertain the psychosocial impact of COVID-19, using a cross-sectional survey design. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to select 250 respondents (150 older adults aged 60 years/above, and 100 caregivers aged 18years/above) in Enugu-North Senatorial District, Enugu State. A questionnaire instrument was used to collect data on socio-demography, anxiety, depression, loneliness, health condition, and caregiving activities. The data were analyzed using Chi-square statistics. This was used to assess the association between categorical variables, setting P values of significance at <0.05. The finding revealed that the majority of the older adults and caregivers presented with severe.

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor that accounts for about 2 to 5% of uterine malignancies originating from the smooth muscles of the uterus. Women can be affected at any age group; however, the majority get diagnosed at their perimenopausal age. The early-stage diseases are managed by hysterectomy and complete surgical resection. In the present case report, we discuss a 41-year-old female with a tumor mass of approximately 32-week gestation at the time of examination. The patient had a regular menstrual cycle with no abnormal uterine bleeding except for abdominal pain for three months. A large, lobulated mass (25 x 18 x14 cm) with solid, cystic, and hemorrhagic components was removed surgically (total abdominal hysterectomy) from the uterus's fundus and spalingo-oophorectomy. The patient developed severe hypotension and tachycardia post-surgery and required a longer recovery time. We referred the patient to the medical oncologist for further treatment. In our patient, the tumor rapidly increased, and metastasis was noted in the peritoneal fluid. A further follow-up will be needed to understand the course of the disease and its outcome.

Published: August 2022

Invasive fungal infections are rare in children and are even more rare in immunocompetent children. Invasive fungal infections can masquerade as other granulomatous diseases like Tuberculosis, which is highly prevalent in India. We herewith report one such case of a 6-year-old boy with swelling over the right orbit diagnosed as Extra-Pulmonary Tuberculosis of the right orbit and started on ATT (anti-tubercular treatment) for the same. However repeat analysis of the biopsy sample with appropriate staining techniques and high degree of suspicion was diagnosed to have invasive fungal infection, which responded well with use of IV and Oral antifungals. Clinicians should always keep invasive fungal infections as a differential diagnosis with any immunocompetent or immunocompromised child presenting with granulomatous inflammation and proper staining techniques used on the biopsy sample.

Teachers’ Communities of Practice in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Will Innovation in Teaching Practices Persist and Prosper?
Authors: Yi Pilnam
Published: August 2022

This study explores how teachers' communities of practice facilitated the transition to emergency remote teaching after school closures in South Korea during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We also investigate whether and how teachers’ online education experiences in times of crisis continue to influence face-to-face teaching practices. We first conducted a literature review on teachers building communities of practice to cope with the pandemic and their execution of emergency remote teaching with collective professionalism. Five experienced teachers from elementary and middle schools participated in a semi-structured interview to share their experiences since the outbreak of COVID-19 until Spring 2022. We found that in response to significant pandemic-related challenges, teachers rapidly adapted to the digital educational environment, with assistance from their peers, through online and offline learning communities. Moreover, teachers’ online education experiences have contributed to innovative teaching practices with technological integration. We present the implications for teacher education research and practice in the post-COVID-19 era.
Willingness to Communicate in an ESP Class: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Sjaifullah Achmad , Laksmi Ekaning Dewanti
Published: August 2022

This study aims to investigate how the students are willing to communicate in an ESP class. This in-depth study employed students’ TOEIC scores as a reference to select the subjects of the study. An in-depth interview was used as the main research procedure together with the primary data. The in‐depth interview allowed the us to develop deeply into social and personal matters that the students have experienced in communicating in English. For the sake of an effective interview, a set of questions related to the WTC was prepared prior to the implementation of the interview.

Published: August 2022

During the third COVID-19 wave in Malaysia, the Ministry of Health suggested a complete lockdown (Movement Control Order-MCO). However, tracking people's movements would help curb the virus' spread. Movement data helps companies uncover human mobility patterns, analyse present and previous movement patterns, and anticipate future consequences. GIS can generate flow maps, themed maps, and flow charts. GIS can show people moving from one site to another and study the link between people moving and land usage. This work utilised GIS to predict and construct lockdown zones based on human mobility. Between November and December 2020, it was also used to tour the most popular places. A survey of 380 Malaysians was undertaken. At the same time, Mysejahtera apps provided data on people's movements. This research was done in Kuala Lumpur and the respondents' data was arranged into an excel document. Then, the GIS programme simulated human activity and plotted regions with a "likely increase in ratio/speed of infection." Between November and December 2020 (RMCO time), everyday movements of Kuala Lumpur people might be utilised to apply "restrictive measures for COVID-19 containment". Instead of a nationwide lockdown, these locations should be targeted for localised lockdowns. So, the government should concentrate on a smart lockdown strategy to prevent catastrophic economic devastation. This research also helped health authorities and governments minimise mobility by optimising the allocation of the most frequented areas concerning population density. This method helped control the pandemic more efficiently and scientifically.

Published: August 2022

As an alternative to chemical and physical approaches, green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a developing area in the field of bio-nanotechnology and offers economic and environmental benefits. In the field of health and hygiene, engineered metal nanoparticles have increased their popularity due to their effectiveness in penetrating living systems. Metal nanoparticles can be efficiently biosynthesized using a range of microbes and plant extracts. Green synthesis of these nanoparticles and their use in diverse technologies have a bright future due to the shifting perspectives of the international community on sustainable development, environmental improvement, and the reduction of dangerous man-made waste. The focus of the current review was primarily on various methods employed for the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles, which is a more environment-friendly technique for creating metallic nanocarriers and altering their surfaces, use these metal nanoparticles, including metal sulfides, zinc oxide, copper, gold, platinum, and palladium, as well as nano metal-organic frameworks, in drug delivery systems.
Role of nanotechnology in amplifying bioavailability
Authors: Mishra Manisha , Sharma Disha
Published: August 2022

Although nanotechnology and nanoscience methods for particle design and formulation are beginning to grow the market for many pharmaceuticals and are laying the groundwork for a lucrative niche within the business, some of the projected benefits have been exaggerated. This paper will discuss logical approaches to the nanoscale vehicle and entity design and surface engineering for site-specific drug delivery and medical imaging following parenteral administration. Nanomaterials help with targeted delivery, prolonged administration, and improved pharmacokinetics profiles, as well as medication diffusion into numerous organs by overcoming barriers such as the blood-brain barrier. Furthermore, these nanoparticles have a higher differential uptake efficiency in target cells (or tissue) compared to normal cells (or tissue) by preventing them from prematurely interacting with the biological environment, improving permeation and retention in disease tissues, and improving cellular uptake, resulting in lower toxicity. In this review, we discuss the most often utilized nanoparticles for increasing medication bioavailability.

This study analyzes the Effect of Dividend Policy and Macroeconomics on Stock Prices. Dividend Policy is calculated using the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), while Macroeconomics is proxied by inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates, and the Stock Price is measured by the closing price. The population in this study is all manufacturing companies in the basic and chemical industrial sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016-2020. The technique used in this study was purposive sampling with five criteria as consideration and 11 company samples with a five-year period were obtained, so that 55 observational data were obtained. Data analysis in this study used panel data regression with the help of windows Eviews-9. The results of this study can be seen simultaneously that the variables of DPR, inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates have a significant influence on stock prices. However, partially only the exchange rate variable has a significant influence on the stock price, while the DPR variable, inflation, and interest rate do not affect the stock price.

Management Information System is a computer-based system that provides information to consumers with common demands. SIM card users are typically official organizations, corporations, or subsidiary units. MIS data describes the company or one of the most effective techniques in terms of what has occurred in the past, what is occurring at present, and what may occur in the future. Micro and small businesses in Indonesia have demonstrated their potential to keep the economy afloat in times of crisis. Additionally, 99.99 percent of all businesses in Indonesia are held by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which employ 97.30 percent of the population of Indonesia. In addition, 57.12 percent of the GDP is contributed by MSMEs. The operation of a firm can be challenging for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Small business funding is a serious concern. Poor management, swift competition, a lack of innovation in MSMEs, unfavorable government rules for MSMEs, challenges in acquiring raw materials, and rapid changes in consumer tastes that lead to marketing are some other issues. It is expected that the government will play a significant role in resolving these hurdles. The government is mandated by law to assist and support small enterprises. The central government and local governments must collaborate to encourage the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
