Contemplating Women’s Imperial Service: Mabel Bent as Photographer, Travel Writer, and Collector
Authors: Wetzel Esther
Published: September 2023

Despite a growing body of literature on women’s roles within the British Empire as settlers, teachers, nurses, missionaries, activists, and ‘adventuresses,’ their contribution to Victorian knowledge production remains underexamined. In particular, the labor of married women has often been subsumed under their husband’s work and, as a result, has largely gone unrecognized. Treating them as emblematic of a shadow archive of married women’s cultural production in the late 19th century, I interrogate Mabel Bent’s diaries, photographs, and ethnographic collecting strategies to show that she exercised epistemic power through the imperial practices of representation and appropriation. I locate her productive and reproductive work within a complex web of service relationships between herself, the British Empire, and her husband, and show that while Bent related ambiguously to her service, she exploited it to defy gender conventions without risking her reputation.

Dārikapa’s Short Instruction on Reality – the Great Secret of Secrets from Uḍḍiyāna
Authors: Schott Julian
Published: September 2023

This short paper aims in presenting a modern but close reading of Dārikapāda’s Short Instruction on Reality – the Great Secret of Secrets from the exalted Oḍḍiyāna. This first translation of this short and inspirational Buddhist tantric song-poem into English is accompanied by an introduction in which the work is briefly contextualised, followed by two summarising sections about the author, text and its contents. The Short Instruction on Reality has not received any noteworthy scholarly attention from within or outside of Buddhist or scholarly traditions. Yet, as being part of the so-called ‘Seven Siddhi Texts’ (Grub pa sde bdun), it has gained its place within the Indo-Tibetan Mahāmudrā traditions that developed on the Tibetan plateau from 10th and 11th centuries onward, and is thus one among the many relevant sources, although a minor one, to be studied and investigated to shed light on its development and formation.
New Perspectives on the Brahmasūtra—An English Translation of the Brahmasūtra-Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya’s Exposition of “Athāto Brahmajijñāsā”
Authors: Aksharananddas Sadhu
Published: September 2023

Within the darśanic world, the Brahmasūtra is a seminal text that provides key insights into Upaniṣadic revelation. The recent creation of Mahāmahopādhyāya Bhadresh Swami’s Brahmasūtra-Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya, a comprehensive Sanskrit commentary on the Brahmasūtra, presents unique readings of the text according to the teachings of the Akṣara-Puruṣottama Darśana as revealed by Bhagavān Svāminārāyaṇa. The commentary’s recent reception encourages further inquiry into its distinctive insights on Vedānta thought and the principles of the Akṣara-Puruṣottama Darśana. This article  presents an English translation of the Brahmasūtra-Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya’s exposition on the first aphorism: “athāto brahmajijñāsā,” in an effort to make the commentary’s expositions more accessible. In doing so, it highlights distinctive principles of the darśana, including its unique understanding of the nature and form of Akṣarabrahman and Parabrahman. To further contextualize the commentary, this article also presents an introduction to the darśanic commentarial tradition, focusing on the role, features, and significance of the Brahmasūtra commentaries and the Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya.

Published: September 2023

The human ear (auricle) is an important body component in biometric studies and forensic identification. The purpose of this study was to evaluate linear auricular morphometric measurements of a Nigerian Igbo population.
300 participants (142 males to 158 females) of at least 16 years of age were randomly recruited from settlements in the South-Eastern states of Nigeria. The participants were made to sit in a Frankfort horizontal position and auricular measurements such as total ear height (TEH), ear width (EW), lobule height (LH) and lobule width (LW) were obtained using a digital vernier caliper (validated by calibrating to 0.01mm). The ear index (EI) and lobule index (LI) were calculated using the measurements. Data obtained were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 23.0).
The following mean values were recorded for males: TEH [Right (R) = 47.01±6.30, Left (L) = 46.24±5.85], EW (R = 25.06±4.14, L = 24.68±4.32), LH (R = 13.92±2.61, L = 13.99±2.18), LW (R = 12.99±2.30, L = 13.30±1.94), EI (R = 53.47±7.23, L = 53.28±6.69) and LI (R = 95.17±18.12, L = 96.80±18.56); for females, TEH (R = 48.25±6.83, L = 48.25±6.24), EW (R = 25.19±3.93, L = 24.57±4.21), LH (R = 14.44±2.67, L = 14.89±2.55), LW (R = 13.37±2.26, L = 13.78±2.04), EI (R = 52.50±6.85, L = 50.93±7.05) and LI (R = 94.60±19.59, L = 94.30±16.63). Gender differences were highly significant regarding total ear height, lobular length and width, as well as the ear index of the left auricle.
This study provides a baseline data for auricular morphometrics of adult Nigerian Igbos and could be used as an ergonomic guide towards the creation of hearing aids in the future and to solve possible forensic issues associated with identification of remains.

Published: September 2023

The issue of environmental pollution has become a concern, especially for the government, since the establishment of Law No. 4 of 1982. This is because the effects of pollution can be toxic and even fatal for living beings, particularly humans. One of the pollutants in the environment generated from mining industry waste is heavy metal Fe. In light of these problems, a study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of sawdust and Moringa twigs as by-products in adsorbing heavy metal iron (Fe) in the liquid waste of the gold mining industry. This research is classified as pure experimental research. The research reveals that the mean percentage reduction in the heavy metal iron (Fe) content in the gold mining industry wastewater, after treatment with the addition of Moringa leaf powder, is 9.6%. On the other hand, treatment with the addition of Moringa stem powder achieves a reduction of 92%. This significant difference is attributed to the bioactive compound rhamnosyloxy-benzyl isothiocyanate present in Moringa. This compound has the ability to adsorb and neutralize sludge and metal particles found in the waste suspension, along with dirt particles in the water. Consequently, Moringa shows potential as a natural coagulant for water purification purposes.

Pandangan Teodisi Murtadha Muthahhari sebagai Jawaban Terhadap Problem of Evil
Authors: Hamdi Bil
Published: September 2023

Abstrak

Masalah keburukan (problem of evil) merupakan salah satu senjata paling ampuh yang senantiasa digunakan penganut ateisme untuk menyerang eksistensi Tuhan yang diajarkan oleh agama-agama. Hadirnya keburukan, kejahatan, atau the evil dalam kehidupan merupakan persoalan filosofis yang menantang kepercayaan umat beragama untuk mendamaikan antara eksisnya Tuhan yang Maha Baik, Maha Mengetahui dan Maha Kuasa dengan fakta bahwa dalam kehidupan terdapat pula yang disebut keburukan. Konsepsi teistik tentang Tuhan telah menimbulkan persoalan yang sangat sulit karena Tuhan dengan Segala Kemahaan-Nya itu, mestinya bisa menciptakan kehidupan dunia yang jauh lebih baik daripada yang ada sekarang ini. Permasalahan keburukan ini telah menantang para teolog sekaligus filsuf serta dibahas dan memunculkan diskusi yang serius dan panjang untuk memberikan jawaban yang memuaskan dan tidak mencederai keadilan Tuhan. Para teolog dan filsuf hendak menunjukkan bahwa adanya kejahatan dan penderitaan tidak bertentangan, dengan kata lain konsisten dengan adanya Tuhan. Argumen-argumen yang mencoba untuk menanggapi masalah keburukan ini disebut teodisi. Salah-satu filosof sekaligus teolog yang ikut serta membahas dan menyumbangkan pemikiran teodisinya dalam menjawab persoalan keburukan dan kaitannya dengan keadilan ilahi adalah Murtadha Muthahhari. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan pandangan teodisi Murtadha Muthahhari sebagai jawaban terhadap problem of evil. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Hasilnya, penelitian ini menyimpulkan beberapa hal; pertama, keburukan adalah noneksistensi; kedua, keburukan adalah relatif; ketiga, dalam pandangan yang menyeluruh (holistik) keburukan memiliki faedah yang memberikan makna bagi kehidupan ini.

Ethno and science provide a dimension of togetherness in the development of society's culture and science. The aim of the study was to determine the perceptions of prospective chemistry teachers towards ethnoscience in contextual-based learning. The method used in this research is qualitative. Sources of data were taken from 39 first and second level chemistry teacher candidates and then specified into seven tribes in seven districts/cities in South Sumatra. The research instruments are surveys, interviews, and observations. Data were analyzed based on an interactive analysis model. The data analysis technique is to reduce the data and then draw conclusions. This study shows a positive perception of prospective chemistry teachers towards ethnoscience, that is, they are able to understand and elaborate on the ethnoscience approach in basic science lectures. The main problem faced by prospective chemistry teachers in the ethnoscience approach is that they are not used to connecting science content based on the chemical context with local culture. Ethnoscience approach can be implemented with Contextual Learning. This learning provides an opportunity for prospective chemistry teachers to further explore the culture of the surrounding community in a more real way. Contextual Learning helps and bridges the process of discovering concepts and contexts that exist in learning.

Authors: Winasis Mirabel , Sembel Jacquelinda Sandra
Published: September 2023

Competition in mobile-based transportation increases sharply with the many new application-based transportation providers joining the competition. To win the competition, application-based transportation providers need to find strategies to improve consumers’ intention to use their applications. This study aims to examine the impact of Perceived Value and Service Quality on Customer Behavior and Intention to Use and Online Transportation in Jakarta and its surrounding areas. This study is a quantitative study using an online survey questionnaire distributed to 190 respondents in Jakarta and its surrounding areas. This study employs Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 3.3.2 for data analysis. According to the findings of the study, perceived value positively influences customer satisfaction and intention to use mobile application-based transportation. The finding also reveals that service quality has a positive influence on customer satisfaction but has no positive influence on behavioral intention. Thus, this study empirically underscores the importance of customer satisfaction in influencing the intention to use application-based transportation. It is then recommended that mobile-based transportation companies continuously improve customer satisfaction through perceived values and service quality.

Occlusive lesions of the main arteries of the extremities are a common and severe disease that leads to disability and has a high rate of death [1]. Many different drugs are known for the treatment of this pathology, however, despite the large number of pharmacological drugs and conservative treatment methods, surgical methods of treatment are the most effective in terms of saving the limb [3, 4]. However, methods of conservative therapy continue to be the most important component of the treatment of arterial limb ischemia, which requires the development of more effective methods. As a result of the use of intravenous administration of a 0.01 % solution of nitroglycerin for the treatment of arterial ischemia of the extremities in patients with coronary artery disease, it was possible to obtain good immediate results in an average of 57.3 % of cases.

Published: September 2023

Osteoporosis is often referred to as a "silent epidemic" because the decrease in bone mass is often asymptomatic until a fracture occurs. One of the most severe manifestations of the disease is osteoporosis of vertebral bodies, the fracture of which leads to disability. In spinal osteoporosis, the main cause of pathologic compression fractures is a fall due to impaired balance. The dynamics of balance dysfunction after surgical treatment of vertebral body compression fractures remains insufficiently studied. We performed a stabilometric study in 103 patients with osteoporosis of the spine complicated by compression fracture at the thoracic and lumbar levels in the age range from 44 to 79 years. All patients underwent puncture vertebroplasty. It was demonstrated that patients with osteoporosis of the spine still have pronounced changes in the stabilogram parameters despite their positive dynamics. The most significant changes were noted in the energy expenditure index, 60% power spectrum level in the sagittal plane and dispersion of the deviation of the center of pressure in the horizontal plane. The persisting pronounced changes in stabilometric indices in the distant postoperative period make it necessary to perform rehabilitation to restore balance and gait.

Published: September 2023

Relevance. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the main methods of surgical treatment of coronary heart disease and is performed in order to restore perfusion and improve the functional state of the myocardium. According to the literature, CABG has a high percentage of neurological complications. About 80 % of patients in the postoperative period have mild or moderate brain damage, which is manifested primarily by cognitive decline. One of these complications is an acute violation of cerebral circulation (ONMC).

Study aim. To compare patients with ONMC after CABG and patients with ONMC, which were based on other reasons for the leading impaired cognitive functions and to assess cognitive impairment.

Material and methods. The severity of cognitive impairment in patients with a history of CABG was studied using the MoCA test scale, comparing the results obtained with the data of stroke patients without CABG.

Results. Significantly more often patients (ONMC with CABG) tests on visual-constructive skills, on the skills of "Delayed reproduction" performed worse. Memory".

Conclusion. In patients with ONMC with CABG in the anamnesis, visual disturbances were observed 2 times more often. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that CABG surgery significantly affects the degree of impairment of visual-constructive skills and delayed reproduction (memory) in ONMC, which is the basis for further, more in-depth study of this problem.

Nowadays, the one-year survival rate of liver transplant recipients is 80-90 %. In the long term after surgery, there are increased risks of death compared with the general population. At the same time, in the structure of death of recipients, extrahepatic causes prevail over graft pathology. Cancers, cardiovascular diseases, infections, metabolic disorders, and kidney disease are key factors that negatively affect long-term outcomes of transplants. The article provides an overview and summary of current data on the prevalence, structure and prognostic value of various types’ of late post-transplant extrahepatic pathology in liver transplant recipients.

O planalto de colinas policonvexas que sustenta as bacias hidrográficas do curso médio do Rio Paraíba do Sul é constituído por terrenos de idades neoproterozóicas cujos mantos de intemperismo possuem espessuras tão variáveis quanto a diversidade faciológica de suas matrizes rochosas. Esses terrenos foram expostos aos impactos da pecuária extensiva sobre solos empobrecidos pelos cafezais do século XIX, trazendo para o presente exemplo de vertentes altamente degradadas. Mapeamento de voçorocas na área gerou modelo evolutivo que prevê a integração de voçorocas conectadas e desconectadas da rede hidrográfica, gerando voçoroca única e extensa. Este trabalho apresenta a evolução de um sistema de voçorocas selecionado em 1984 como área tipo para avaliar a integração prevista. Registros pretéritos são combinados com levantamento aerofotogramétrico de alta resolução por VANT, medições de campo e prospecção por georradar (GPR), demonstrando o estágio de integração entre voçorocas conectadas e desconectadas. Devido à alta resolução dos métodos, cada caso de voçoroca gerou estudo aprofundado, revelando associações entre morfogênese quaternária, geometria de encostas e voçorocamento. Após quatro décadas de monitoramento, o sistema de voçorocas está no limiar da integração prevista, e ainda ressalta os riscos associados à difusão insuficiente de conhecimento científico sobre a evolução de voçorocas e vertentes.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh penggunaan linear trap barrier system (LTBS) terhadap intensitas serangan tikus sawah. Lokasi pemasangan LTBS merupakan suatu hamparan sawah yang bebatasan dengan habitat tepi kampung. Sebanyak 3 (tiga) unit LTBS dipasang pada habitat tepi kampung dengan 3 waktu pemasangan yang berbeda, yaitu pada fase vegetatif, fase awal generatif, dan fase akhir generatif. LTBS dipasang selama 25 hari pada setiap waktu pemasangan, kemudian pada pemasangan selanjutnya LTBS dipindahkan sejauh ± 200 m dari posisi sebelumnya. Variabel yang diamati adalah jumlah tangkapan tikus sawah dan intesitas serangannya. Pengamatan hasil tangkapan LTBS dilakukan setiap hari, yaitu dengan cara menghitung jumlah tikus yang tertangkap. Adapun pengamatan intensitas serangan tikus sawah dilakukan secara sistematis menggunakan metode double diagonal dengan 25 sampel rumpun padi untuk setiap irisan diagonal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa intensitas serangan tikus sawah pada lahan yang dipasangi LTBS lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan lahan yang tidak dipasangi LTBS. Sementara itu, jumlah tangkapan tikus dan intensitas serangan tertinggi didapatkan pada saat fase awal generatif tanaman padi.

The objective of the study was to analyse the antimicrobial susceptibility trends of Spanish porcine bacteria to quinolones, cephalosporins and polymyxins. Isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, and Escherichia coli were isolated from sick pigs from 2019 to 2022. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was determined by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) following internationally accepted methodology. MIC categorization was based on distributing the range of MIC values in four categories being category one the most susceptible (lowest MIC value) and four the less susceptible one (highest MIC value). Moreover, clinical susceptibility (susceptible/resistant) was also determined according to CLSI and EUCAST clinical breakpoints. A logistic and multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the susceptibility data for dichotomized and categorized MIC data, respectively for any pair of antimicrobial/microorganism. In general terms, the antimicrobial susceptibility of pig bacteria to these antimicrobials remained stable or increased in the last four years in Spain. In the case of A. pleuropneumoniae and quinolones, it was observed a significant temporal trend where isolates from 2020 had significantly increased odds of being more susceptible than isolates from 2019. In the case of E. coli and polymyxins, a significant temporal trend was observed where isolates from 2020 and 2021 had significantly increased odds of being more susceptible than isolates from 2019 and 2020, respectively. Finally, a significant odd of being less susceptible was only observed for cephalosporins and E. coli for 2020 versus 2019, stagnating for the rest of study period. These results provide sound data on critical important antimicrobials in swine medicine.
SARS-CoV-2: An Update on the Biological Interplay with the Human Host
Authors: Lippi Giuseppe , Sanchis-Gomar Fabian , Mattiuzzi Camilla , Henry Brandon M.
Published: September 2023

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious respiratory illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease, first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan in November 2019 and has since spread worldwide, is the latest human pandemic, and has officially infected over 800 million people and has caused nearly seven million deaths to date. Although SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the large family of coronaviruses, it has some unique biological characteristics in its interplay with the human host. Therefore, this narrative review aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the structure of the virus, incubation and shedding in the human host, infectivity and biological evolution over time, as well as the main mechanisms for invading human host cells and replicating within. We also proffer that ongoing epidemiological surveillance of newly emerged variants must always be accompanied by biological studies aimed at deciphering new advantageous traits that may contribute to increasing virulence and pathogenicity, such that the most appropriate strategies for establishing a (relatively) safe coexistence with the human host can be implemented.
Advances in Roles of Salicylic Acid in Plant Tolerance Responses to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses

Published: September 2023

Abstract: A multitude of biotic and abiotic stress factors do harm to plants by bringing about diseases and inhibiting normal growth and development. As an omnipotent signaling molecule, salicylic acid (SA) plays crucial roles in plants' tolerance responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses, thereby maintaining plants’ normal growth and improving yields under stresses. In view of this, this paper mainly discusses the role of SA in both biotic stresses, and abiotic stresses of plants. SA regulates the expression of genes involved in defense signaling pathways, thus enhancing plants’ immunity. In addition, SA mitigates the negative effects of abiotic stresses, and acts as a signaling molecule to induce the expression of stress-responsive genes and the synthesis of stress-related proteins. In addition, SA also improves certain yield-related photosynthetic indexes, thereby enhancing crop yield under stresses. On the other hand, SA acts with other signaling molecules in regulating plants’ growth and improving tolerances under stresses. This paper reviews recent advances in SA’s roles in plant stress tolerances, so as to provide theoretical references for further studies concerning the decryption of molecular mechanisms for SA’s roles and the improvement of crop management under stresses.
