Published: February 2022

Generally, tsunamis are generated by the rapid crustal movements of the ocean floor. Other factors of tsunami generation include landslides on coastal and ocean floor slopes, glacier collapses, and meteorite collisions. In this study, two numerical analyses were conducted to examine the formation, propagation, and deformation properties of landslide tsunamis. First, LS-DYNA was adopted to simulate the formation and propagation processes of tsunamis generated by dropping rigid bodies. The generated tsunamis had smaller wave heights and wider waveforms during their propagation, and their waveforms and flow velocities resembled those of theoretical solitary waves after a certain distance. Second, after the formation of the landslide tsunami, a tsunami based on the solitary wave approximation theory was generated in a numerical wave tank (NWT) with a computational domain that considered the stability/steady phase. The comparison of two numerical analysis results over a certain distance indicated that the waveform and flow velocity were approximately equal, and the maximum wave pressures acting on the upright wall also exhibited similar distributions. Therefore, an effective numerical model such as LS-DYNA was necessary to analyze the formation and initial deformations of the landslide tsunami, while an NWT with the wave generation method based on the solitary wave approximation theory was sufficient above a certain distance.
Numerical Analysis for Hydrodynamic Performance of OWC Devices with Multiple Chambers in Waves
Authors: Kim Jeong-Seok , Nam Bo Woo
Published: February 2022

In recent years, various studies have been conducted on oscillating-water-column-type wave energy converters (OWC-WECs) with multiple chambers with the objective of efficiently utilizing the limited space of offshore/onshore structures. In this study, a numerical investigation based on a numerical wave tank was conducted on single, dual, and triple OWC chambers to examine the hydrodynamic performances and the energy conversion characteristics of the multiple water columns. The boundary value problem with the Laplace equation was solved by using a numerical wave tank based on a finite element method. The validity of the current numerical method was confirmed by comparing it with the measured data in the previous experimental research. We undertook a series of numerical simulations and observed that the water column motion of sloshing mode in a single chamber can be changed into the piston motion of different phases in multiple OWC chambers. Therefore, the piston motion in the multiple chambers can generate considerable airflow at a specific resonant frequency. In addition, the division of the OWC chamber results in a reduction of the time-dependent variability of the final output power from the device. As a result, the application of the multiple chambers leads to an increase of the energy conversion performance as well as a decrease of the variability of the wave energy converter.

Mango (Mangifera indica. L) is characterized by a high level of genetic variation in seedling population. Estimation of genetic advance is required for the expected genotypic progress of a particular character. Keeping this in view, genetic advances of year-round flowering mango (Mangifera indica. L) genotypes was carried out during 2019-2021 in farmer’s field at Annur, Coimbatore. High Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) was found in fruit yield per tree was 30.63 per cent. The low GCV values were found for the traits viz., panicle length (6.61 %), days taken for flowering to fruit set (1.75%), days taken for flowering to fruit maturation (1.76 %), percentage of hermaphrodite flowers (5.38 %), sex ratio (5.18%). Whereas high values of heritability estimates were obtained for the traits viz., fruit yield per tree (99.43 %), number of panicles/tree (98.91 %), number of fruits per tree (97.74 %), panicle per sq.m of canopy (97.40 %). The high heritability along with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for fruit yield per tree (99.43, 62.91), number of panicles/tree (98.91, 46.84), number of fruits per tree (97.74, 43.03), panicle per sq.m of canopy (97.40, 28.64) indicates the possibility of improving these traits by selection since there is a wide range of variation and additive gene action exists for these traits. The traits viz., panicle per sq.m of canopy, panicle length, number of panicles/tree, sex ratio, number of fruits per tree were positively correlated with fruit yield per tree. Hence, the selection for these characters would improve fruit yield in mango.

Authors: NARULA Gagandeep , KAUSHİK Tanuja , HUSSAİN Sarah , DEMİCCO Frederick
Published: February 2022

The objective of this paper is to ascertain the perception of hotel managers concerning the expectations of domestic women business travelers (DWBT) through qualitative analysis. This research was performed using synchronous focus group discussions (FGDs) virtually on Microsoft Teams. Participants belonged to the management of 5-star hotels in Delhi and Gurugram (cities in the National Capital Region, India). Transcripts were analyzed thematically using NVivo (Release 1.0) software. The authors have proposed seven core themes associated with female symbols of expectations looked forward to by DWBT from their hotel stay. These are guest room as the expectation of servicescape and design, hotel services as the expectation of comfort, amenities as the expectation of quality and value, hotel security as the expectation of assurance and trust, augmented specials being the expectation of personalization, selection triggers being the expectation of convenience and suitability, and customized meal requirements being the expectation of health and wellbeing. Hospitality marketers may apply strategic planning and decision-making to devise focused communication strategies to accomplish the expectations of this segment. To the best of our knowledge, this research is the first to break new ground to assess findings using synchronous FGDs for understanding the expectations of DWBT from the management perspective.

Published: February 2022

The choice of the environmental risk management instrument to be used within the scope of corporate governance in companies is of paramount importance to avoid or mitigate the triple environmental responsibility to which they are exposed. In this sense, the following research problem arises: The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), an instrument of the National Environment Policy and a model of environmental risk management adopted by some companies, proves to be efficient, effective and effective for the fulfillment of the duty to protect the environmental balance and, therefore, for sustainable development? The present study aims to elucidate this research problem. To this end, analyzes were carried out on risk and environmental damage, from a perspective of the socioenvironmental function of companies today; the need for a new posture by companies in view of the reflexes of environmental risks in business activity; and the question of the adequacy or inadequacy of the EIA as an instrument of the National Environment Policy and as a model for managing environmental risks and damages, in the pursuit of sustainable development. The method of approach used was the deductive one, and the research was carried out using the method of bibliographic procedure, through which research was carried out on books, scientific articles and legislation. The result points out the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the EIA for the management of environmental risks and, thus, for the fulfillment of the duty to protect the environmental balance by companies.

Authors: Oluwadamilola M Kolawole  , Kayode Q Akinlabi  , Boladale O Silva
Published: February 2022

Background: The quality and stability of castor oil emulsions may be influenced by the type and amount of its constituent emulsifiers. To our knowledge, the emulsifying potential of single, double, and triple-emulsifier systems comprising of Tween 20, acacia gum and methyl cellulose have never been compared. The aim of the work was to formulate castor oil emulsions stabilized using natural and/or synthetic emulsifying agents and evaluate their organoleptic, physicochemical, and stability profiles. Methods: Six types of emulsions were prepared using the spontaneous emulsification method, and characterised in terms of their physical properties; centrifugation analysis, and real-time stability profile at 25 ℃ and 40 ℃ for 90 days. Results: FT-IR analysis suggested that castor oil was compatible with all the studied emulsifiers. Tween 20-stabilised formulation (F2) and acacia gum/methyl cellulose-based samples (F5) exhibited unacceptable organoleptic attributes and/or physical properties. The physical properties of the remaining castor oil macroemulsions were satisfactory: pH (6.2 to 7.0); electrical conductivity (2253-4557 µS/cm); spreadability (0.7-2.1 cm); oil globule size (2.73-3.74 µm), and creaming index (9-18 %). The emulsions exhibited varying degree of instability over time and with elevated temperatures. The most promising emulsion was acacia gum/methyl cellulose/tween 20-stabilised sample F7: pH: 6.9, electrical conductivity: 4557 µS/cm, spreadability: 1.37 cm, oil globule size: 3.74 µm, creaming index: 9 %, and satisfactory stability profile at 25 °C and 40 °C. Conclusion: Sample F7 may serve as cream base for dermal and transdermal delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients intended to treat various local skin problems and systemic diseases.

The goal of these study was to present results of investigation concerning possibilities of utilization of harmful wastes in countryside area to produce ecological energy. Biogas production can be important from the point of view of environment protection especially in case of overproduction of animal wastes. Production and utilization of energy from agriculture residues gives a great chance for diversification and grows of income for family farms. Besides energetic and environment gains, we can obtain very valuable fertilizer, which is easy absorbed by plants in field crop production. The experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of mixing process on the parameters of methane fermentation process. Temperature inside fermentation chamber, pH of fermented material, redox potential and carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N) were investigated. Utilize wastes from pig and poultry houses were used for the study. Digestion in a chamber was provided at constant temperature of 37 °C. After adding fresh substrate to the digester, the temperature of the raw material decreased by 1,0-1.5 °C depending on the location in the tank. Also, it was observed that biogas production decreased. The mixing process had a positive effect on the homogeneity of the material throughout the digester volume. The best results for biogas production were obtained when the pH value was 7.0. Research results obtained from tested biogas installation show, that from two bio reactors at total capacity of 410 m3 we can get electrical energy at cost of 34,52 € MWh-1 and thermal energy at cost of 62,54 €×MWh-1. While the cost of producing electricity in a professional power plant based on lignite was 76.23 €MWh-1. The energy produced was used for the operational activities of the farm.

Authors: Seitov S. K.
Published: February 2022

The aim of the research is to assess the impact of the introduction of export duties on changes in the Russian wheat market situation. The work examines the mechanism of wheat export regulation in Russia in current conditions, and also identifies its shortcomings and proposes the ways to eliminate them. The methodology of the research is based on the theory of industry markets, including the analysis of the effects of export restrictions. The study includes the period of 2017-2021. The paper shows that losses of domestic wheat producers due to export duty will exceed $ 1 billion on an annual basis since June 02, 2021. The consumer gains will reach US$ 10 million, and state budget revenues will reach US$ 10 million. The government revenues from the customs duty would be US$ 1.4 billion. The net result of Russia from the introduction of the export duty will be negative, amounting to – $ 400 million. Wheat export in Russia should not be severely restricted to prevent domestic price increases. Despite the imposed export duties, producer prices for wheat raise significantly: in August 2021 the price was $174.3 per 1 ton, in November 2021 it was $205.8. The author proposes to abolish export restrictions and focus policy measures on improving the transport system, market, information infrastructure and the spread of digital technologies in grain production, storage and transportation. The economic characteristics of the effectiveness of tariff measures can be of great value to government authorities, agricultural producers and researchers. They make it possible to improve the strategy of state export regulation in accordance with the tasks of development and the needs of society and the economy.

Cucurbitacin B exerts neuroprotection in a murine Alzheimer’s disease model by modulating oxidative stress, inflammation, and neurotransmitter levels
Authors: Liu Zhiyong , Kumar Manish , Kabra Atul
Published: February 2022

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) type dementia encompasses diverse cognitive deficits marked by free radicals and pro-inflammatory cytokines mediated progressive neurodegeneration and vascular damage including the blood-brain barrier. Subsequently, an imbalance in neurotransmitters, excitotoxicity, and synaptic loss provide impetus to AD pathogenesis and perpetuate brain dysfunctions. Cucurbitacin possesses several biological properties and has shown potential in cancer, diabetes, and brain disorders. In this study, neuroprotective effects of cucurbitacin B (CuB) were investigated using the intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (STZ-ICV) AD prototype. Methods: Wistar rats (adult males) were injected STZ-ICV (3 mg/kg) bilaterally on day(s) 1 and 3. Rats were treated with CuB (25, 50 mg/kg, i.p.) or donepezil (1 mg/kg, i.p.) for 28 days daily starting from day 1. Behavioral tests viz. locomotor activity, motor coordination, and memory functions were conducted at different time intervals. After behavioral tests, biochemical markers of oxidative mutilation, inflammatory cell demise, and neurotransmitters were assessed in the whole brain. Results: CuB attenuated STZ-ICV-induced decrease in spatial memory in novel object recognition task and long-term memory in passive avoidance test. CuB diminished protein carbonyls, lipid peroxidation, 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine, and enhanced antioxidants in the brain of rats inoculated with STZ-ICV. A decline in inflammatory and cell death biomarkers was observed in rats treated with CuB and STZ-ICV. In neurotransmitter analysis, a decrease in acetylcholinesterase activity and glutamate levels indicated an increase in cholinergic and attenuation of excitatory transmission in the brain. GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) levels were enhanced by CuB treatment in the STZ-ICV rat model. Histomorphometry analysis disclosed that CuB treatment caused an increase in viable neuron density in the cortex and hippocampus of rats against STZ-ICV neurotoxicity. Conclusions: It can be inferred that CuB can afford a decline in AD symptoms. CuB protects neurons against STZ-ICV toxicity that improved memory functions in rats.

Authors: Zhai Guangyao , Wang Jianlong , Liu Yuyang , Zhou Yujie
Published: February 2022

Background: Patients that undergo renal transplantation (RT) often suffer from high rates of cardiovascular disease-related mortality, yet, most of the studies focus on coronary angiography performed as screening to entry in a waiting list and not, as for clinical indication, after renal transplantation. Methods: This study examined coronary angiography findings from 45 patients with functional renal grafts for over 6 months that were analyzed in Anzhen Hospital (Beijing, China) from 2014–2019. For comparison purposes, we additionally examined coronary angiography findings from 45 age- and sex-matched patients undergoing chronic dialysis due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We used the SYNTAX score to gauge coronary artery disease (CAD) severity. Results: The duration of ESRD in patients in the RT group was significantly longer than for that of patients in the dialysis comparison group (19.31 ± 7.83 years vs. 11.43 ± 8.04 years, p < 0.001). The SYNTAX scores for patients in the dialysis and RT groups were 17.76 ± 7.35 and 12.57 ± 5.61, respectively (p < 0.01). We found that 64.4% and 28.9% of dialysis and RT patients, respectively, exhibited the presence of moderate or severe calcified lesions upon examination. In addition, the SYNTAX scores of RT patients were correlated with ESRD duration (p < 0.001). Conclusions: We observed less serious CAD in RT patients relative to long-term dialysis patients even though the former group exhibited a longer mean ESRD duration. Both groups exhibited high rates of calcification of the coronary artery, even following RT.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are global diseases of increasing prevalence and are frequent co-diagnoses. The two conditions share common risk factors and CKD contributes to HFpEF development by a variety of mechanisms including systemic inflammation and myocardial fibrosis. HFpEF patients with CKD are generally older and have more advanced disease. CKD is a poor prognostic indicator in HFpEF, while the impact of HFpEF on CKD prognosis is not sufficiently investigated. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common during admission with acute decompensated HFpEF, but short and long-term outcomes are not clear. Pharmacological treatment options for HFpEF are currently minimal, and even more so limited in the presence of CKD with hyperkalaemia being one of the main concerns encountered in clinical practice. Recent data on the role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in the management of HFpEF are encouraging, especially in light of the abundance of evidence supporting improved renal outcomes. Herein, we review the pathophysiological links between HFpEF and CKD, the clinical picture of dual diagnosis, as well as concerns with regards to renal impairment in the context of HFpEF management.

This study examines the channels of transmission through which cash reserve ratio impacts on credit to micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). A vector error correction model was used to capture the objective. Quarterly data ranging from 2001 to 2017 were also utilized in the analysis. The study found that cash reserve ratio indirectly impacts credit to MSMEs through liquidity ratio and lending interest rate as its channels of transmission. It is worthy to note that, as liquidity ratio has a positive significant impact on credit to MSMEs, lending interest rate has a negative but significant impact on credit to MSMEs. To boost economic productivity in developing economies, the study therefore recommends that the monetary authorities reduce the cash reserve ratio in order to increase commercial banks’ liquidity. As the commercial banks’ liquidity rises, they should also reduce their lending interest rate to increase access to credit by MSMEs. Again, the government should appropriate and monitor the judicious disbursement of interest-free loans/credit to MSMEs through banks, especially development banks.

Published: February 2022

Although the history of training foreign language teachers in Turkey dates back to the Tanzimat period until the 19th century, in the first years, the French teacher was trained in the last years. Arabic, on the other hand, has been perceived as a religious language rather than a foreign language for a long time, and this perception has not changed completely even today. Perhaps because of this perception, the first program to train Arabic teachers within the higher education system was established in 1984. Sixteen years after the establishment of the first Department of Arabic Language Education established at Gazi University, departments to train Arabic teachers in both private/foundation and public universities began to open. In this study, the profiles of a total of eight hundred and forty-three teacher candidates who settled in the Arabic teaching program at eight universities between 2019, 2020 and 2021 were examined from various angles. At the end of the study, Arabic teaching was preferred by female students, teacher candidates came from different cities in state universities, they came from the same city in private/foundation universities, Arabic teacher candidates preferred the Marmara Region the most, about seven out of ten teacher candidates graduated from Imam-Hatip High School, almost none of the teacher high school graduates preferred Arabic teaching, and the teacher candidates did not prefer Arabic teaching. In the eighty-question foreign language test, it was concluded that they made an average of forty-five nets, and that Arabic teacher candidates preferred English-related departments the most after Arabic. As a result of the study, some recommendations were made to teacher training programs for innovations in the student selection system by associating them with the relevant literature findings.
Low GAMT expression distinguishes basal-like human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2022

Patients diagnosed with basal-like breast cancer face a more aggressive disease course and more dismal prognosis than patients diagnosed with luminal A and luminal B breast cancer molecular subtypes (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to understand in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing transcriptional features of tumors from patients with basal or basal-like subtype breast cancer. We observed transcriptome-wide differential expression of guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase, GAMT, when comparing tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer with that of other PAM50 molecular subtypes. GAMT mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in the tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that GAMT primary tumor expression was correlated with overall survival in basal subtype breast cancer. Low GAMT expression appears to distinguish basal-like human breast cancer from the other molecular subtypes.

Background: The global community is racing to slow down and eventually halt the spread of COVID-19. The success of the ongoing battle against this pandemic all over the world depends on community knowledge and perception. The objective of this study was to assess risk communication, knowledge and community attitudes to COVID-19 outbreaks in southwestern Nigeria. Methods: Community based descriptive cross-sectional study of risk communication, knowledge and community attitude to COVID-19 prevention and control among 1200 community persons selected using multistage sampling methods. Research instrument was a semi-structure interviewer administered questionnaire, and data analyzed using the IBM SPSS software version 23.0. Findings: Mean age of respondents was 36.0 ± 12.1 years, 735 (61.3%) were females and 465 (38.8%) were males. Majority of the respondents (97.5%) had heard about COVID-19, with the radio (65.2%) and television (60.4%) being the major sources of information. Only 455 (37.9%) think that they can get COVID-19, 738 (61.5%) said they were ready to willingly observe staying indoors or lockdown, only 525 (43.8%) have been putting on face mask. Respondents with good knowledge of COVID-19 transmission, symptoms and prevention were 39.6%, 88.7% and 94.5% respectively, while for good perception towards COVID-19 was 72.2%. Predictors of good knowledge of transmission and symptoms of COVID were respondents being above 19 years, being a male and having education level above secondary school. Predictors of good knowledge and perception of prevention and control measures of COVID were respondents being above 19 years, being a female and having education level above secondary school. Conclusion: Good awareness and poor knowledge of COVID-19 transmission, but good knowledge of prevention and good perception were reported among communities in Southwestern Nigeria. Only few believed they could get the disease. This calls for enlightenment campaign and good communication messages directed at the general population.
