ABOUT THE MIDDLE VOLGA PERIOD IN THE LIFE OF AN OUTSTANDING BIBLIOGRAPHER AND WRITER A.S. POLYAKOV
Authors: Mankov Andrei V.
Published: December 2021

In August 2021, the cultural community of St. Petersburg celebrated the 265th anniversary of St. Petersburg State Theater Library, which is known worldwide as the richest repository of materials about the theater and for the theater. It has been collecting its unique fund, including a number of rare and valuable collections, since the XVIII century. The author’s research attention is focused on the facts of the Middle Volga period in A.S. Polyakov’s biography – the legend of one of the country’s oldest libraries. After the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia in 1918–1923, Alexander Sergeevich Polyakov, working as the head of this book depository, largely determined its modern multifunctional appearance. During this difficult period in the life of the state and the society, with great enthusiasm the talented writer edited several different print media, the most famous of which was one of the first theatrical magazines of the Soviet Russia, “The Biryuch of Petrograd State Theaters”. Alexander Polyakov was not a native of St. Petersburg. His small homeland is the Middle Volga region. The author explores the childhood and youth years of the future bibliophile and writer, which he spent in Simbirsk and Kazan governorates. The researcher tells that Alexander was not only born and brought up in the Volga region, but also studied at Simbirsk Classical Gymnasium and the Imperial Kazan University. The article gives some facts about an active participation of this native of Simbirsk in the socio-political life of the Middle Volga region which deserve special attention. For example, in 1901–1904 A.S. Polyakov played a major role in the creation of Kazan and Simbirsk organizations of the Party of Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs). In 1905, he was one of the most famous participants of the First Russian Revolution in the region. So, being under the tacit supervision of the police, Polyakov at that time constantly spoke at meetings and rallies in the town of Simbirsk and some uyezds of Simbirsk province, actively participated in agitation events of social revolutionaries of various kinds. In 1906, a young native of the Volga region moved to an illegal position, and then secretly left the Volga region. In 1907, the future outstanding bibliographer was detained by the police in St. Petersburg and sent into administrative exile. The article also provides previously little-known facts of his personal life. At this, the author tells about Polyakov’s parents and other family members. The specialist paid special attention to his wife, Elizaveta Polyakova (Dubova), a native of the Middle Volga region, who was a St. Petersburg student and a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party. The young revolutionary was repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility and after the defeat of the revolution of 1905–1907 was exiled to the Eastern Siberia.

Tefsir yapılırken Kur’ân’ın ıstılahlarına, kalıp ifadelerine; âyetlerin siyakına ve Kur’ân’ın bütünlüğüne riayet etmek son derece önem verilmesi gereken bir husustur. Bunun için müfessirler, Kur’ân’ı öncelikle bu tefsir metoduna göre anlamaya çalışmış ve bunun ehemmiyetine dikkat çekmişlerdir. İbn Ebü’l-‘İz, yaşadığı dönemde etkili bir âlim olan İbn Teymiyye ve öğrencilerinden etkilenerek Kur’ân’ı Kur’ân ile tefsir etmeye önem vermiştir. Zira İbn Teymiyye, Kur’ân’ı Kur’ân ile tefsir etmenin en güzel tefsir metodu olduğunu belirtmiş, öğrencileri de bu metodun önemine vurgu yapmışlardır. İbn Ebü’l-‘İz, ilme ve âlimlere ulaşmanın son derece kolay olduğu bir dönemde ve coğrafyada dünyaya gelmiş ve hayatını sürdürmüştür. Ancak söz konusu dönem, siyasî ve mezhebî taassuptan dolayı bazı âlimlerin baskı gördüğü bir zaman dilimi olmuştur. Bu âlimlerden biri olan İbn Ebü’l-‘İz, bu baskılara direnmiş ve doğru bildiğini söylemekten ve yazmaktan geri durmamıştır. Bunun için bazı sıkıntılara maruz kalmış ve dört ay hapsedilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, önce Kur’ân’ı Kur’ân ile tefsir etme metodu hakkında kısaca bilgi verilecek, ardından İbn Ebü’l-‘İzz’in hayatı, eserleri ve ilmî kişiliği ele alınacaktır. Son olarak onun bu metot çerçevesinde yaptığı tefsirlerin üzerinde durulacaktır.

Published: December 2021

Kadim bir tasavvufî geleneğe sahip olan şark bölgesi, muhtelif tasavvufî anlayışlara asırlarca mihmandarlık etmiştir. 19. yüzyıla gelindiğinde tarikatlar içerisinde, Nakşbendiyye tarikatının Hâlidiyye kolunun, bölgede geniş bir alana yayıldığına şahit olunmaktadır. Bu hususta 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Seyyid Sıbgatullah Arvâsî (ö. 1287/1870) ile onun halifelerinden Şeyh Abdurrahman-ı Tağî’nin (ö. 1304/1886) büyük rolleri olmuştur. 20. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde ise Şeyh Abdurrahman-ı Tağî’nin oğlu ve Nakşbendiyye tarikatının halifelerinden olan “Hazret” lakaplı Şeyh Muhammed Diyâuddîn’in (ö. 1342/1924) özel bir yeri bulunmaktadır. Hazret, Nurşin Dergâhı’nın postnişini olduğu dönemde, Nakşbendiyye tarikatının Hâlidiyye kolunun karakteristik özelliklerinden olan şeriat ve tarikat insicamını en güzel şekilde icra etmeyi başarmıştır. Esasen Nurşin Dergâhı’ndaki zâhirî ilimler ile bâtınî ilimlerin birbirini tamamlayan iki unsur olduğu yönündeki telakki, Şeyh Abdurrahman-ı Tağî ile başlamış, Şeyh Fethullah Verkânisî (ö. 1317/1899) ve Hazret ile belirgin hale gelmiştir. Şeyh Muhammed Diyâuddîn’den istifade eden ve mezkûr anlayışı layıkıyla temsil eden isimlerden biri de Molla Zahir Tendûrekî (ö. 1385/1966) olmuştur. O, şer‘î ve irfânî ilimlerdeki derin vukufiyyetinin yanı sıra edib niteliğiyle de tanınan bir isimdir. Hazret’in vefatından derinden etkilenen Tendûrekî, şeyhine olan muhabbet ve bağlılığını 105 şiirden müteşekkil bir divanda dile getirmeye çalışmıştır. Edebî olarak oldukça zengin olan bu divan, tasavvufî pek çok unsuru da ihtiva etmektedir. Bu durum müellifin tasavvufî kişiliği hakkında da okuyucuya bir fikir vermektedir. Bu çalışmada, nitel araştırma araçlarından biri olan metin analizi metodu kullanılarak Tendûrekî’nin hayatının yanı sıra ilmî şahsiyeti ve tasavvufî kişiliği irdelenmektedir.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a poorly recognized and reversible condition in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that could mimic neuropsychiatric lupus. The manifestations of PRES are headache, seizures, altered level of consciousness and blindness. In most cases, computed tomography of the brain shows hypodense lesions in the parieto-occipital lobe. Although this syndrome is rare, rapid and accurate recognition allows early treatment with favorable results. We present a case report of a patient with the onset of SLE following the episode of eclampsia, and who during the late puerperium presented sustained hypertension associated with seizures and deterioration of the level of consciousness in the context of PRES.

Published: December 2021

Maggot Therapy is an established, effective treatment for chronic infected wounds. Despite its worldwide success, it suffers from poor public regard and acceptance. In 2019, the primetime BBC Medical Drama, Casualty, decided to run a Maggot Therapy storyline over four episodes of its recent series (series 33). Our study focusses on an evaluation of the impact of this storyline on changes in public awareness and acceptability of Maggot Therapy. The evaluation comprised an online questionnaire (administered through an independent private research company). Our results showed that exposure to the BBC Casualty maggot storyline was associated with a significant increased awareness of Maggot Therapy. Additionally, this resulted in a more positive perception and general acceptability of the treatment, and a decrease in negative responses towards it. Post-wave participants were also more likely to find Maggot Therapy acceptable for their own wound. Our findings suggest that television storylines and narratives are a useful route to raise awareness, inform and educate viewers about important health-related issues. Our study supports the notion that for effective treatments like Maggot Therapy, which often evoke feelings of disgust and reluctance, the persuasive effects of entertainment education could help to transform perception and acceptability.

Published: December 2021

Due to the rapid growth in the production and consumption of shisha tobacco in the Russian Federation, it has become necessary to improve the technology using optimal ingredient composition in order to create a high-quality and safe tobacco product. The aim of the research is to improve the technology of manufacturing shisha tobacco based on the optimization of its ingredient composition; to study the influence of the fractional composition of raw tobacco on its quality indicators. Fractional composition of raw tobacco in the production of shisha tobacco, as well as for other tobacco products, is important and affects its quality characteristics. Virginia and Burley tobaccos of the American type are the most demanded ones in the manufacture of shisha tobacco [1]. Sometimes oriental-type tobaccos are used in the bag, which are distinguished by high taste and aromatic qualities. Due to the fact that recently there has been an increase in the demand for Doha Arabian tobacco raw material (this tobacco is known as a high-quality product with a high strength and a pleasant, full and harmonious taste), the idea has arisen to manufacture prototypes of shisha mixtures in which Doha tobacco is used [2]. The article presents the research results: to determine the optimal ingredient composition of hookah tobacco; to study the optimal fractional composition of raw tobacco of various types. As a result of the research the chemical composition of raw tobacco of various types has been analyzed, the tasting and organoleptic evaluation of the prototypes carried out and the tobacco raw material most suitable for the production of shisha tobacco determined; the nicotine content in the condensate of prototypes of shisha mixtures with different fractions of raw tobacco determined; the optimal fractional composition for various types of tobacco raw materials, necessary for the production of a quality product determined.

Published: December 2021

The article shows the prospects for the production of Mozzarella cheese of goat milk and dry sourdough. Cheese contains vital nutritional components, they are biologically complete and play an important role in the diet. Searching for new resources is an urgent problem. The solution may be to expand the range of cheeses not only of cow milk, but also of other farm animals, for example, goats. Their milk is absorbed faster and is used in medical and preventive nutrition. On the consumer market goat milk products are mainly represented by farms, and their range is small. The authors carried out the research on the selection of starter cultures containing probiotic cultures from bifidobacteria, acidophilus bacillus and thermophilic streptococcus, to optimize the technological process for the production of Mozzarella cheese based on goat milk. These cultures represent a beneficial microflora that inhabits the human body, helping to absorb nutrients and digest food. An important quality of probiotics that ensures their physiological effect is their high growth rate and compatibility with other microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract. It has been found that all the studied samples of goat milk in terms of composition have indicators that meet the requirements of GOST for goat milk. Comparative analysis of cow and goat milk has shown predominant indicators of the quality of goat milk in comparison with cow milk. The processes of coagulation and fermentation of goat milk under the influence of various starter cultures have been studied. The use of ABT-5-Probio-TecTM probiotic starter culture, which accelerates the technological process and imparts functional properties to the product, has been substantiated. The possibility of using goat milk in the production of cheeses with cheddaring and thermomechanical processing has been proven. Microscopic examination of a sample of Mozzarella cheese on ABT-5 sourdough has shown that bifidobacteria survive after heat treatment at high temperatures.

Published: December 2021

Various growth regulators have been used to improve the quality of different fruit crops. Foliar spray of macro and micronutrients play an important role in vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality. In the present study, the influence of foliar application of growth regulators and nutrients on fruit splitting and fruit quality was evaluated. For that purpose, Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), Potassium nitrate (KNO3) and Boric acid (H3BO3) at the rate of 40 ppm, 1% and 0.3% were used respectively. Spray of chemicals were applied in 2nd and 8th week from full bloom to yield in pomegranate cultivar ‘Golden pearl’. The experiment was designed under Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) comprised with seven treatments and replicated thrice. Fruit splitting was reduced (48.68%) significantly with application of KNO3 + Boric acid, while maximum fruit size (60.26 cm2), fruit weight (84gm), fruit grain weight (136.38gm), total soluble solid (TSS) 12.52% and yield (21.9kg/plant) were observed in KNO3 + Boric acid. Moreover, peel weight was increased in control (60.66 gm) and minimum was observed in 48.62 gm in KNO3 + Boric acid. Finally, it is concluded KNO3 %+ Boric acid reveled best results against fruit splitting % and other fruit quality parameters. These findings show that application of KNO3+ Boric acid significantly influences fruit quality of pomegranate when fruit are in the beginning stages of growth and development.

Avian colibacillosis is considered the major bacterial disease in the poultry industry worldwide. This study was conducted to determine prevalence and pathology by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) in broiler chicken. Various organs of affected broilers were checked for the E. coli infection. One hundred and forty commercial poultry farms were divided into seven age groups (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G). Group A (1st week), B (2nd week), C (3rd week), D (4th week), E (5th week), F (6th week), G (7th to 9th week). Investigations were conducted from day 1 until the marketing of birds based on clinical findings. A total of 2491 (23.71% of sick birds) dead birds were observed positive for E. coli infection. Three forms of infection were observed i.e. omphalitis, colisepticaemia, and colibacillosis at the rate of 1.55, 17 and 56.65%, respectively. Omphalitis was confirmed by microbial culture and revealed in only groups A and B with 76.24 and 23.76 respectively. While, Colisepticaemia was observed at the rate of 3.11, 6.74, 20.18, 29.63, 19.16, and 22.18 in groups B, C, D, E, F, and G respectively. Whereas Colibacillosis was noticed as 0.075, 3.35, 5.99, 19.20, 26.70, 16.11 and 28.55% in groups A, B, C, D, E, F, and G respectively. Petechiation of heart, kidney, and gizzard besides hemorrhagic enteritis, hemorrhagic tracheitis, and necrotic foci on the liver and caseous exudates in air sacs were the prime gross lesions noticed in colibacillosis. Microscopically, no lesion was observed in serosa, muscularis externa, and submucosa. However, loss of epithelial tissue and breaches in the mucosal layer of the small intestine were observed. Furthermore, characteristic pink and grayish colonies were observed in E. coli cultures on McConkey’s and Blood agar respectively.

El Pensamiento Visual (PV) es un constructo cognitivo que resulta cada vez más relevante para explicar la representación mental que hacemos del mundo y de la realidad que nos rodea, a partir de la percepción y el razonamiento espacial. Estos conceptos están asociados a la inteligencia y resultan significativos para la educación tanto en el ámbito artístico como en el científico. Realizamos una investigación descriptiva del constructo PV con 314 estudiantes del Grado en Educación en las Universidades de Valladolid (España), Boston y Harvard (EE.UU.). Se utiliza la Escala de Pensamiento Visual (EPV) realizada ad hoc para el análisis de los factores de visualización (estática y dinámica), de razonamiento proporcional y de lectura de imagen. Destaca el déficit de visualización estática en las referencias visuales del propio campo visual y éste se vincula con la lectura objetiva (estructural y óptico-geométrica) de la imagen. El razonamiento proporcional en el análisis de formas y de ángulos muestra notables diferencias entre su consideración conceptual y la lectura visual. Considerando la relación entre los diferentes sistemas de representación utilizados en el modelado educativo (gráficos, mapas, dibujos, fotografías y sus formas de animación), se establece una aproximación cognitiva de este déficit con las dificultades de interpretación gráfica, tanto en la creación como en la interpretación visual de estos recursos.

The Role of Religiosity, Ethnicity and Gender Identification in Individual’s Moral Judgments; The Mediation Effect of Self-transcendence
Authors: Jing Huey Chin , Mansori Shaheen , Rezaee Zabihollah , Homayoun Saeid
Published: December 2021

Most recently, corporate financial scandals, and unethical behaviour cast doubt on investors and raised public concern globally. It is due to the weak corporate governance structure and low ethic awareness amongst the people. The purpose of this research is therefore to justify the factors that influence an individual’s moral judgement. This study also seeks to provide practical recommendations to corporations and different associations. As such, to evaluate the proposed hypotheses, 300 self-administered questionnaires were distributed in five universities in Malaysia using a non-probability sampling approach. As a result, the findings demonstrate that ethnicity has the highest impact on self-transcendence and moral judgement, followed by religiosity and gender identification (gender difference). The contribution of this research is to evaluate the relationships between religiosity, ethnicity, and gender identification towards moral judgement with the intervention of mediating variable (self-transcendence). In essence, ethical values and moral obligations should be highlighted in corporations, and these values should be practised and embraced into the organisational culture. Thus, organisational decision-makers should highly emphasise the role of ethicality and morality in corporations because ethical competence aligns with an employee’s responsibility as a whole.
The Role of Religiosity to Address the Mental Health Crisis of Students: A Study on Three Parameters (Anxiety, Depression, and Stress)

Published: December 2021

Religiosity is a construct that has interesting implications in the mental health issues of youths. This study examines the role of religiosity on anxiety, depression, and stress using 148 Muslim students studying Islamic studies at undergraduate provision in an Islamic University as sample. Results indicated that the level of religiosity among the participants ranged from moderately religious to highly religious. The mean levels of anxiety, depression, and stress among the participants were moderate, and a significant number of students suffered from severe psychological distress. Female students were reported to experience significantly slightly more stress than male students. Furthermore, the relationship between religiosity, anxiety, and depression was significantly negative but not stressful. Further analysis found that religiosity serves as a protective factor for depression. Meanwhile, some religiosity components (i.e., avoidance of sinful acts and frequent conduct of recommended acts) were found to be a significant protective factor against anxiety and depression, respectively. Thus, in retrospect, mental health and religion appear to converge on managing psychological distress. As so to speak, this is a vital point in the emerging mental health services in which the incorporation of religious components into clinical practice may show good promising results in aiding the recovery process of psychological health issues. Likewise, embedding religiosity in one’s life, or being religiously minded, reflected in daily life manifestation, is linked with better mental health outcomes.

Published: December 2021

Covid-19—associated with the human-to-human transmission is recent medical concern which also associated with public health concerns. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among clinical year veterinary and medical students studying in a university in Malaysia to determine the students’ knowledge, attitude, and practice towards COVID-19. The questionnaire consisted of 4 sections, namely, socio-demographic characteristics (6 items), knowledge (14 items), attitude (10 items), and practice (24 items) towards COVID-19. The collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H, and Spearman’s correlation analysis. A total of 219 students participated in this study, and they consisted of 52.1% and 47.9% of veterinary and medical students, respectively. The total scores were categorised into poor (<60%), moderate (60-79%), and high (>80%) based on Bloom’s cut off point. Overall, the students acquired high knowledge (80%), moderate attitude (76%) and high practice (86%) against COVID-19. In the attitude section, the veterinary student scored significantly higher than medical students (U=3791, p= .001), and female students scored significantly higher than males (U=3183, p= .001). The analysis revealed a statistically significant association between attitude and practice (P< .05) despite no association between knowledge to attitude and practice variables. Overall, the results indicated that both veterinary and medical students had high knowledge with moderate to high attitudes towards COVID-19. Thus, they were practising good preventive measures in limiting the spread of the disease.

Teak wood is one of the prominently used raw material in the construction industry, thus contributing extremely to the biomass waste available in Nigeria. These wastes are usually used for energy generation that requires upgrade into better fuel before application. Hence, the present study evaluates the non-isothermal kinetic parameters for pyrolysis of teak wood using model-fitting techniques. Teak wood dust was subjected to proximate, ultimate and calorific value analyses based on different ASTM standards. The thermal degradation and decomposition behaviour of the teak wood dust was examined using a thermogravimetric analyzer. Pulverized teak (6.5 mg) was heated from 30 to 800 ºC at varying heating rates (5, 10 and 15 ºC) in an environment where 100 mL/min of nitrogen gas was charged in continuously to maintain an inert condition. Avrami-Erofeev, Ginstling-Broushtein (GB) and Mampel models were used to evaluate the kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis of teak wood dust. The teak wood dust contained 7.25 % moisture, 79.26 % volatile matter (VM), 1.74 % ash and 11.75 % fixed carbon. The calorific value of the wood dust was 18.72 MJ/kg. The results of the thermogravimetric analyses depicted that heating rate has no effect on weight loss during the reactive drying zone. However, as the thermal treatment progressed into the active pyrolysis and passive pyrolysis zones, the weight loss decreased with increase in heating rate.  The devolatilization parameters also increased with heating rates except for the maximum conversion. The results of the kinetic parameters evaluation revealed that the GB model was best fit to evaluate the kinetic parameters of teak in the active pyrolysis zone while GB and Mampel models were considered most appropriate for the evaluation of the kinetic parameters in the passive pyrolysis zone. Model-fitting method has the capacity to capture a wide range of fractional conversion at a glance.

HIGHLIGHTS

Arrhenius parameters in terms of activation energy and pre-exponential factor for the pyrolysis of teak wood while comparing 4 different model-fitting techniques were obtained

The α-temperature plot for solid state reaction of teak wood dust was a bell-shape (sigmoidal model)

The Avrami-Erofeev and SSS models were unable to capture the overlapping multiple reactions that took place simultaneously at the active pyrolysis zone

Higher energy input is needed for devolatilization of teak wood dust to give 10 - 80 % conversion due to higher activation energy at the active pyrolysis zone

Ginstling-Broushtein was found to be the best model for evaluating the kinetic parameters at the active pyrolysis zone as it had the highest R2 value

Mersin-Antalya karayolu üzerinde, Anamur'un 6 km. güneydoğusunda, deniz kenarında yer alan Mamure Kalesi'nin oturumu 23.500 m² dir. Mamure Kalesinin pek çok Anadolu kalesi gibi antik temeller üzerine inşa edildiği ve kalenin bulunduğu yerde M.S. 3.- 4. yüzyıllarda bir Roma yerleşimi olduğu iddia edilmektedir. Bu antik kentin adı “Rygmonia” olarak adlandırılmıştır. M.S IV. Yüzyılda Romalılar tarafından yapılmış olan kale, sonraları Bizans Dönemi’nde genişletilmiştir. Selçuklu Sultanı Alaaddin Keykubat tarafından 1221 yılında ele geçirildiği sırada yıkılan kalenin yerine bugünkü kale yapılmıştır. Bu alanda da kale içerisinde 1 adet camii ve kale dışında 1 adet hamam yapısı mevcuttur. Daha sonra burası; Karamanoğulları ve Osmanlılara geçmiştir. Bir kervansaray görünümünde olan Mamure Kalesi, en iyi korunmuş Anadolu kalelerinden biridir. Kuleler, surlar ve mazgalları ile hala ayaktadır. 2020-2021 yılı çalışmalarında Mamure Kalesi Restorasyon faaliyetleri kapsamında Anamur Müze Müdürlüğü’nce Kale içerisinde C ve B avlularında bilimsel kazılar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu kazılardan tespit edilen buluntu ve kalıntılar metin içerisinde incelenecektir.

Resumo - O controle de formigas cortadeiras é um dos grandes desafios da agricultura orgânica, onde são proibidos insumos químicos ou materiais transgênicos. Buscar métodos de controle de formigas cortadeiras (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) em sistemas orgânicos de produção. Foi realizado um levantamento em dezembro de 2020, nas das bases de dados Periódicos CAPES e Google acadêmico.  Foram encontrados 11 artigos, que através da sua metodologia e resultados poderiam ser aplicados para o controle de formigas cortadeiras em cultivos orgânicos, através de métodos biológicos, mecânicos, iscas biológicas, produtos naturas e plantas repelentes. Existem alternativas para o controle de formigas cortadeiras em sistemas orgânicos de produção que são: controle mecânico, controle biológico, plantas atraentes ou repelentes, mas é preciso a realização de mais estudos e a disponibilidade desses produtos no mercado.

A qualidade da água de um manancial está intimamente relacionada as suas características físicas-químicas e biológicas e suas interações, são funções dos seus diversos usos. Diante disto, este trabalho objetivou analisar a inter-relação entre pontos de monitoramento da qualidade da água pertencentes ao Rio Comandaí, localizado na bacia hidrográfica do Uruguai, bem como inferir sobre suas possíveis fontes de poluição. Foram utilizados cinco pontos de monitoramento da qualidade da água no Rio Comandaí, sendo que em cada ponto foram utilizados 14 parâmetros de qualidade da água, disponibilizados pela FEPAM. Neste estudo empregou-se a análise de agrupamento utilizando o método de Ward’s e como medida de similaridade utilizou-se a distância Euclidiana. Com base neste estudo foi possível observar que os cinco pontos encontraram resultados distintos para as possíveis fontes de poluição, mesmo tendo estabelecido o mesmo ponto de corte na similaridade (80%). Isso demonstra que ao longo do rio Comandaí, há uma alteração no uso e coberturas da terra o que modifica as fontes de poluição. Sendo assim, foi possível inferir sobre as possíveis fontes de poluição no rio Comandaí, bem como a similaridade entre as possíveis fontes de poluição.

This article is based at the diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma, which is characterized as a benign simple hyperplastic tumor and has an inflammatory reactive component that increases in size as a connective tissue reaction, forming a repair tissue as a protective mechanism. Clinically, pyogenic granuloma is seen as a red or purplish lesion (similar to the adjacent mucosa), too vascular, with a sessile or pedunculated base, with slow growth, reaching a size that rarely exceeds 2,5 cm, the surface of which can be rough or smooth. It occurs more frequently in adulthood, with a predominance in females (mainly during pregnancy), between the second and seventh life's decades. This aim of this paper is to report a case of pyogenic granuloma on the upper lip of a patient at the FAESA's Dental Clinic.

Cancer is a genetic disease, and one of the main public health problems. Cancer treatments (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) have some side effects, such as mucositis, which is the inflammation of the oral mucosa, and which generates a series of discomforts, sometimes milder, sometimes more severe. One of the treatments indicated for mucositis is low-level laser therapy, which acts to reduce symptoms. The purpose of this article is to describe four protocols of laser therapy, which were applied at Hospital Santa Rita de Cássia — Vitória, and also to discuss the results that were satisfactory.

Nowadays, for green synthesis, different parts of plant extracts are being used for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles. Green routes for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles are most favorable method over conventional methods. In this study, we have synthesized Ag nanoparticles from Terminalia bellirica aqueous leaves extract with AgNO3 solution. Recently, silver nanoparticles are being used for their beneficial effects on human health. It has been reported that it helps in lowering in cholesterol, blood pressure, thirst, pile, skin diseases and treatment of diabetes. Ag nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, XRD, TEM and FTIR techniques. It was found that Ag+ ion reduced into Ag0 and showed absorption band at 447 nm. X-Ray Diffraction for structural determination confirms the crystalline Ag nanoparticles. TEM analysis confirms the average particle size is less than 30 nm with spherical shape. FTIR spectra confirms the presence of active biomolecules (alcohols, phenols, proteins and nitro compounds) of plant leaves extract which played a key role in formation of Ag nanoparticles.

Earth is a major source of several elements which are occurring with different physical and chemical properties in nature. Some of the elements are categorized as Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials and termed as NORMs. These natural sources and anthropogenic sources combined make the earth’s environment radioactive and human beings continuously receive the amount of the total radiation dose more than 50% of the radiation that comes from radon and thoron. It has been evident that soil is the furthermost important feature that affects the radon/thoron level in the human living surroundings which increases human exposure to radioactivity. The concentration of natural radionuclides elements present in soil or rocks is the main feature of
levels of natural background radiation dose. This review paper represents the activity level of Ra-226, Th-232, and K-40 in soil samples of the Himalayas region of Uttarakhand. The data so obtained from previous studies of radionuclides shows the high abundance of radioactive mineralization in the soil of the Himalayan region in the Uttarakhand state of India.

Published: December 2021

Kudelinovići predstavljaju značajnu vlastelu na trebinjskom
području. Pripadaju lozi Ljubibratića i poznati su kroz nekoliko generacija
tokom XIV i XV stoljeća. Vazali su roda Pavlovići, a kasnije Kosača. Ponajviše
tragova ostavili su u drumskom razbojništvu koje je proisteklo iz njihovog
smještaja u trebinjskoj Površi na granici sa dubrovačkim područjem.
Kudelinovići i njihovi ljudi zabilježeni su u naseljima Ljubokovo, Slivnica,
Grebeni, Bijela, Glavska, Orahovo, Stobica, Čičevo i Bugovina. Među tri
loze Kudelinovića, Radonjićima, Mrđićima i Miokuševićima, posebno
poziciju imali su Dobruško Radonjić i njegov sin Pavko Dobrušković te
Pribio Miokušević i njegov sin Vukosav Pribilović.
Ikone bokokotorskih majstora u Bosni i Hercegovini / Icons by Masters of
the Bay of Cattaro (Kotor) Painting School in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Ikone bokokotorskih majstora iz Sarajeva (Umjetnička galerija
BiH – 7, Stara pravoslavna crkva – 7), crkve svetog Nikole u Foči (4),
hrama Uspenja Presvete Bogorodice u selu Luće (3) kod Tjentišta, kao i
iz riznica manastira Hercegovačke Gračanice (3) i Dobruna (2) delovi su
nekadašnjih oltarskih pregrada, crkvene opreme ili predmeta privatne
pobožnosti čiji su autori šestorica od dvanaestorice bokokotorskih slikara
– Maksim Tujković, Dimitrije Daskal, Rafailo Dimitrijević, Petar, Vasilije
i Ivo Rafailović. Ovu umetničku zaostavštinu čine ikone i duborez, kao
i po jedan antimins, ripida i triptih. Reč je o korpusu umetničkih dela
nastalom između poslednje decenije XVII i pedesetih godina XIX veka čije
poznavanje doprinosi boljem sagledanju različitih faza rada bokokotorske
slikarske škole. Zajedno sa poznatijim ikonama iz Srbije, Hrvatske i Severne
Makedonije, ikone majstora Tujkovića i Dimitrijevića-Rafailovića iz Bosne
i Hercegovine karika su koja nedostaje razvejanim i nedovoljno proučenim
ikonama u galerijama, muzejima, manastirskim i crkvenim riznicama
Crne Gore in situ. Deo bosanskohercegovačkih ikona dosad je tumačen
kao izdvojeno delo nekog od bokokotorskih majstora, bez uklapanja u
hronološki i stilski niz koji čini. Neke od njih nisu dosad bile zapažene,
publikovane ni izlagane, pa nisu valјano ni atribuirane ni datovane. Njih
nekoliko nisu samo rariteti najveće regionalne zbirke ikona na Balkanu već
i prava remek-dela ikonopisa XVIII veka.
Gift-Giving in Dubrovnik’s First Diplomatic Contacts with the Sublime Porte /
Dubrovački diplomatski pokloni odaslani na Visoku Portu (1430. – 1458.)
Authors: Šoštarić Valentina
Published: December 2021

In 1430 Dubrovnik’s authorities decided to send ambassadors to
the Sublime Porte for the first time. An important part of the preparatory
activities was to decide to whom gifts should be presented, and what should
be the nature and value of the gifts presented to the various recipients.
Gifts were carefully wrapped diplomatic messages that their recipients
could interpret in various ways. Gift rhetoric was used primarily to
achieve strategic interests and was an ideological tool used both as a sign
and an instrument. An analysis of the nature and value of the objects
that ambassadors gave to their hosts reveals the “collective identity” of
the community that preoccupied the City fathers, offers an insight into
Dubrovnik’s trade connections and local production of luxury goods, as
well as their reception in a different cultural landscape.
Sources kept in the Dubrovnik State Archive allow us to reconstruct the
list of Dubrovnik’s diplomatic gifts presented to various individuals at
the Sublime Porte from the time of the establishment of the first official
diplomatic contacts until the City became a tributary state. The gifts can
be categorized according to the political and social rank of the recipients.
Interpretation of the reasoning underlying the selection of gifts offers an
interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of their pragmatic purposes, their
origin and production, their value (economic, social, cultural, practical,
emotional), and manipulation of their usage. As well as influencing both
contemporary and future Ragusan – Ottoman relations, the gifts encouraged
symbolic, material, and cultural exchanges between diverse civilizations.

Objective: To estimate the incidence of cervical cancer (CCU) in the year 2020 in the gynecology oncology consultation of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of the Hospital “Dr. Domingo Luciani”. Method: Retrospective, descriptive study, where the clinical histories of the patients diagnosed with cervical cancer who attended the first oncology gynecology consultation were reviewed, the period from January to December 2020. Results: Sixty patients met the inclusion criteria, the variables studied were age, histological type, stage at the time of diagnosis and indicated treatment;14.52% were diagnosed with cervical cancer; the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 43.15 years; the most common histological group was squamous, (96.67%). Regarding staging, 28 cases (46.67%) were diagnosed in stage IIIB, 14 cases (23.33%) in stage IIB, and only 6.66% were diagnosed in early stages. Treatment indicated radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Conclusion: We show in the present study that cervical cancer represents a significant percentage of gynecological consultations, that unfortunately the diagnosis is made in advanced stages, negatively affecting the prognosis of these patients and that the age at which it predominates is in full productive life of the women. affected women, constituting a real public health problem and chaos for families and society.
