Published: January 2023

Recent global initiatives in ecosystem restoration offer an unprecedented opportunity to improve biodiversity conservation and human health and well-being. Ecosystems form a core component of biodiversity. They provide humans with multiple benefits – a stable climate and breathable air; water, food and materials; and protection from disaster and disease. Ecosystem restoration, as defined by the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, includes a range of management interventions that aim to reduce impacts on and assist in the recovery of ecosystems that have been damaged, degraded or destroyed. This Guide promotes the application of the science of ecosystem risk assessment, which involves measuring the risk of ecosystem collapse, in ecosystem restoration. It explores how the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems and ecosystem restoration can be jointly deployed to reduce risk of ecosystem collapse.
Rho Kinase Inhibitors for Glaucoma and Optic Neuropathy Treatment: Enzyme Activity, Cell Effects, IOP-Lowering and Neuroprotection Perspectives
Authors: NA Sharif
Published: January 2023

Rho kinases, (Rho-Associated Coiled-Coil Kinases; ROCKs) are ubiquitous enzymes found inside all cells of the body. Consequently, ROCKs are involved in numerous cellular functions such as cell contraction, cell migration and proliferation. As such, their over-expression / activation has been implicated in diseases ranging from diabetes, erectile dysfunction, hypertension, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular hypertrophy, inflammatory diseases, pulmonary hypertension and so on. In the eye, ROCKs are involved in the development of glaucoma, Fuchs corneal dystrophy, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Inhibitors of ROCKs have proven useful drugs to treat the afore-mentioned disorders, and in particular they are effective intraocular pressure lowering agents with added neuroprotective activities. This review addresses the latter aspect of ROCK physiology, pharmacology and pathology, and the clinical utility of ROCK inhibitors towards preservation of eyesight from the ravages of glaucomatous optic neuropathy

Case Report: A 19 years old male presented to Chittagong Eye Infirmary and Training Complex with a 4-day history of bilateral central scotoma following 10-15 minutes of direct sun-gazing during the solar eclipse on 26th December 2019. On general examination, he was of normal built and height for his age. Upon ocular examination, his BCVA was 6/9 in both eyes. Slit-lamp microscopic examination showed clear cornea in both eyes. Pupils of both eyes were round, regular and reacting. Lens was clear in both eyes. Fundus examination revealed discrete yellow lesions at the fovea of both eyes. Optical coherence tomography scanning showed corresponding retinal pigment epithelial defects in both eyes. The patient was managed conservatively with regular follow-up and counseling was done regarding guarded visual prognosis. Conclusion: Observing a solar eclipse directly can cause permanent eye damage hence public awareness of the dangers should be encouraged.
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease: Placoid-Like Presentation Associated with Serous Retinal Detachment
Authors: DAK Kuroiwa
Published: January 2023

Background: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease is a multisystemic autoimmune disorder that is characterized by bilateral, chronic and granulomatous panuveitis. A placoid-like presentation of this condition is unusual and it can mimic other causes, such as syphilis. Complete evaluation and early treatment might improve visual outcome and decrease number of recurrent episodes. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 21 year-old female patient with progressive low visual acuity in both eyes and a placoid-like lesion associated with serous retinal detachment in the fundus exam. Optical coherence tomography showed a highly reflective subretinal membranous structure and subretinal fluid. Fluorescein angiography showed multiple areas of pinpoint leakage and optic disk staining. Other ancillary exams, such as serology and head/orbit computerized tomography were all normal. Cerebrospinal fluid revealed pleocytosis. The diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada was made and prompt treatment with high-dose systemic corticosteroid was started. The patient had a complete recovery of her visual acuity and has had no recurrence of inflammation so far. Conclusion: This article describes an unusual presentation of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease evaluated with multimodal imaging and also highlights the benefits of the early diagnosis and prompt management.
Overview of Orbital Inflammation/Unmet Needs
Authors: H Khazaei
Published: January 2023

Diseases of the orbit and periorbital eye tissues manifest in a wide variety of clinical presentations. Space occupying lesions in the orbit include infections, inflammations, vascular malformations, and malignancies. The significant variation in presentations is due to the complex anatomy of the orbit and the heterogeneous nature of the multiple disease processes that present themselves as orbital inflammatory processes. Additionally, although specific disease entities often show similar patterns of orbital tissue involvement, there is still a spectrum of clinical presentations within disease processes, which furthermore overlap with other inflammatory etiologies. This heterogeneity creates a significant challenge in determining specific diagnoses and subsequently instituting timely medical and surgical management of patients with orbital inflammation. Despite advances in imaging, physical examination, and laboratory tests, a biopsy is often needed for diagnosis and to guide treatment. Unfortunately, the biopsy is too often read as non-specific or idiopathic inflammation, a term that gives minimal guidance to the patient or to the clinician. There is clearly a need for developing more specific and sensitive clinical diagnostic testing.
YANYA VİLAYETİ JANDARMA TENSİKATI (1903-1912)
Authors: ERÇİN Abdülkadir
Published: January 2023

1877-1878 Osmanlı- Rus Savaşı Osmanlı Devleti’nin iç güvenlik teşkilatında köklü değişikliklere giden süreci başlatması bakımından önemlidir. Osmanlı Hükümeti savaş sonrası iç güvenlik yapısındaki zafiyetleri yakından görüp Avrupalı subayların da desteğiyle 1879 yılında zaptiye düzeninden kesin olarak jandarma teşkilatlanmasına geçişi tamamlamıştır. Bu doğrultuda jandarmanın görev ve sorumlulukları belirlenmeye başlanmış vilayetlerde jandarma sistemi oturtulmaya çalışılmıştır; fakat Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı’ndan sonra Balkanlarda ortaya çıkan ayrılıkçı etnik hareketler ve çetecilik faaliyetleri jandarmanın istenilen şekilde teşkilatlanmasını engellemiştir. Avrupalı devletlerin reform baskılarından jandarma da etkilenmiş, özellikle Rumeli’de jandarma teşkilatında ıslahatlar yapılması kaçınılmaz hale gelmiştir. Reform baskıları altında 1896-1901 yılları arasında Rumeli jandarmasında gayrimüslim tebaanın da katılımını sağlayan bir dizi ıslahat hareketine girişilmiştir; fakat gerçek anlamda Osmanlı jandarmasını düzene koyma yani tensikat girişimleri Rumeli Umumi Müfettişliğinin kurulması ve bilhassa 1903 yılında Makedonya coğrafyasının yönetiminde ciddi reformları içeren Mürzsteg Programının ilanından sonra hız kazanmıştır. Mürzsteg Programı Rumeli’de yer alan Edirne, İşkodra ve Yanya Vilayetlerini tensikatın dışında tutmuştur. Yanya Vilayeti jandarması tensikatın dışında bırakılmasına rağmen kimi zaman kendi iç dinamikleriyle kimi zaman da Rumeli Umumi Müfettişliği ve Üçüncü Ordu’nun desteğiyle 1903-1906 ve 1906-1912 yılları arasında iki tensikat dönemi geçirmiştir. Bu çalışmada Yanya Vilayeti jandarmasının 1903-1912 yılları arasında geçirdiği tensikat süreci Başbakanlık Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri ışığında incelenecek ve tensikatın başarıya ulaşıp ulaşmadığı sorgulanacaktır.

Published: January 2023

Gedeo is the area where Africa’s largest megalithic stone concentration is found. This research aims to assess the heritage management problems of megalithic sites in Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia, with a focus on the Tutu Fella and Chelba Tututi sites. Methodologically, the study employed primary and secondary sources, which were collected through a literature review, field work, and interviews with local informants. The study shows that the megalithic stones have historical, archaeological, symbolical, artistic and commemorative significances which enable the sites to be major source of tourism development in the area. However, these multifaceted collective past memories are subjected to mismanagement activities that have a negative impact on the preservation of the megalithic stones. These problems are associated with the lack of awareness among the local community about the values and the need for the management of the megalithic stones, the expansion of Christianity and the subsequent socio-cultural changes in the area, the mismanagement of the site’s tourism activity, which is not supported by regular and legal means of collection of tourist entrance fees, the weakness of the local culture and tourism offices to employ protection activities for the sites, and the absence of continuous recording and promotion works on these features. The study also recommends the need for creating public platforms to increase the local community’s awareness of the importance of the sites, continuous recording and promotion, the use of legal frameworks to support heritage management and tourism development in the sites, and recognition of the sites as national heritage.
Hybrid Deep Learning Mechanism for Charging Control and Management of Electric Vehicles
Authors: Venkitaraman Ashwin Kavasseri , Kosuru Venkata Satya Rahul
Published: January 2023

In perspective of their environmental friendliness and energy efficiency, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are posing a threat to traditional gasoline automobiles. Identifying the future charging needs of EV users may be aided by the forecasting of states linked to EV charging. It might deliver customized charge capacity statistics based on users' real-time locations as well as direct the operation and management of charging infrastructure. Consequently, an emergent problem is the effective model of EV charging state predictions. In this study, a hybrid deep learning approach is suggested to assure safe and dependable charging operations that prevent the battery from being overcharged or discharged. A Recursive Neural Networks (RNNs) for feature extraction process is suggested to acquire adequate feature information on the battery. The bidirectional gated recurrent unit framework (GRU) was then established by the study to predict the state of the EV. The GRU receives its input from the RNNs' output, which substantially enhances the effectiveness of the model. Because of its much simpler structure, the RNN-GRU has a lower computational performance. The experimental findings demonstrate the GRU method's ability to accurately track mileage of the electric vehicle. A hybrid deep learning-based prediction approach could give quick convergence speed less error rate in comparison to the appropriate method for obtaining state of charge estimate over conventional models, as demonstrated by the extensive real-world tests.

Online Verbal Argumentative Interaction (OVAI) in an Online Science Class During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Archila Pablo Antonio , Truscott de Mejía Anne-Marie , Restrepo Silvia
Published: January 2023

As we begin the third decade of the twenty-first century, argument and debate are not habitual practices of university science education. This can be explained by the hegemony of instructor-centered traditional approaches in many of these practices. The Covid-19 pandemic has not only pushed university education online but also seems to provide an unforeseen opportunity to develop deep educational transformations. Here, we report on the case of a university online science course that, because of the Covid-19 crisis, used online verbal argumentative interaction (OVAI) to provide students with explicit opportunities to co-construct reason-based and/or evidence-based arguments and counterarguments in an undergraduate-centered science learning environment. The written arguments and counterarguments co-constructed by forty students (20 females and 20 males, 19–24 years old) during OVAI sessions were analyzed to determine their quality. Also, students’ opinions about the use of OVAI in times of Covid-19 were documented. The results indicate that the students co-constructed high-quality arguments and counterarguments in the OVAI sessions. Most importantly, participants showed positive impressions about the use of OVAI in university online science education. The outcomes carry important educational implications considering the growing university online science courses in the pandemic and post-pandemic eras.
First-Time Chinese Online Students’ Expectations of Their Instructors in Fully Online Learning Environments
Authors: Lin Xi
Published: January 2023

The global COVID-19 lockdowns caused universities to shift from face-to-face instruction to online. Since online teaching was used as a supplement to the traditional in-person instruction before the pandemic in China, Chinese college students were forced to learn in fully online learning (FOL) environments with very little preparation. These first-time online students faced challenges that significantly impacted their confidence and ability to succeed as online learners. Fortunately, the instructor can play a crucial role in conducting early interventions to reduce students’ online learning anxiety but understanding these students’ expectations of their online instructor is necessary for using appropriate teaching strategies. As a result, this study investigates 439 first-time Chinese online students’ expectations of their instructor in FOL environments during the emergent transition. Results indicate that several characteristics are highly expected by new online Chinese learners, such as being familiar with technology, being knowledgeable about the subject, and respecting other students. This study is expected to point Chinese universities and others toward best practices in preparing their faculty members for online course instruction, thus further enhancing first-time online students’ learning experiences.

Authors: Duha Mohammad Shams Ud , Richardson Jennifer C. , Ahmed Zohur , Yeasmin Fahmida
Published: January 2023

Students’ extensive use of Facebook in their daily lives has led researchers to investigate the affordances of Facebook for educational purposes. To further the research into the use of Facebook to improve language teaching, we conducted a convergent parallel mixed-methods study to examine the use of Community of Inquiry-informed Facebook discussion activities on the speaking performances of undergraduate students in a blended EFL speaking class in Bangladesh. A Facebook group was maintained for both the treatment and control conditions; however, the discussion activities were required only by the treatment condition. We found a statistically significant difference between the initial and post-test speaking scores for the treatment and control conditions. While no difference was observed in post-test scores between the two conditions, students’ and the instructor’s comments on the Facebook group and student interview data revealed that Facebook was helpful for both conditions in improving their performances, but in different ways.

Published: January 2023

Objective

Clinical manifestation of the inflammatory process in its relation to biochemical markers (total cysteine [Cys], cysteine-glycine [CysGly], glutathione [GSH], glutamate-cysteine [Glu-Cys], homocysteine [Hcy], the ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione [GSH/GSSG], the ratio of reduced to oxidized cysteine [CySH/CySS], malondialdehyde-oxidized low-density lipoproteins [MDA-oxLDL]) has been studied in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Material and methods

48 patients with mild to severe COVID-19 and 20 healthy volunteers were included in our research. The participants were divided into 4 experimental groups according to inflammation intensity estimated based on the serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6).

Results

All 4 groups showed the prevalence of male patients and elevated serum levels of IL-6 (by 54.6%). There was no comorbidity in patients with mild COVID-19 (nasopharyngitis symptoms) and in healthy control subjects. 50% of patients with lung damage had accompanying diseases. Alterations of aminoethyl metabolism were detected in COVID-19 patients: as reflected by the decreased levels of Cys, CysGly, and Glu-Cys and the increased levels of GSH as compared to the control group.

Conclusion

Elevation of IL-6 over 7.5 pg/mL was associated with decreased GSH/GSSG and CySH/CySS ratios indicating enhanced oxidative stress and was followed by protein oxidation, specifically MDA-oxLDL.
The COVID-19 Pandemic and Slovakia: Why Do Results for the First and Later Phases Differ so Much?
Authors: Nemec Juraj
Published: January 2023

Slovakia, a small country in Central Europe, was among the most successful countries in combatting COVID-19 during the first phase of the pandemic in the spring of 2020. However, it appeared to be among the least successful states in later COVID-19 phases. The aim of the article is to highlight the specifics of the Slovak COVID-19 case. Why did Slovakia handle the COVID-19 outbreak effectively in the initial phase, and why did it fail later? The positive anti-epidemic results in the first phase were determined by effective government policies (realized during a time of government change) and catalyzed by the high level of compliance demonstrated by citizens. The failures Slovakia faced later are connected with the limited long-term politico-administrative capacity of the state, and politicization of the pandemic that resulted in social non-compliance. Short term success was possible with the mobilization of all actors, but long term success in this country seems to be “mission impossible”.

Published: January 2023

The article is intended to stimulate the discussions on sustainable development and separate Sustainable Development Goals. It was initially prepared for the 21st session of the UN Committee of Experts on Public Administration “Transforming institutions and governance to build forward better towards 2030”. The article covers the progress, lessons learned and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on the implementation of Goals 4, 5, 14 and 15 and on leaving no one behind, as well as reflections on the challenges of state-building. The authors suggest that building strong and effective public institutions is crucial for achieving the Goals and building forward better after the pandemic. This should be accompanied by investments in the public sector workforce to align competences and values with the challenges ahead. Supporting developing countries in making their public institutions, societal and physical infrastructure and economies more resilient and agile not only against COVID-19 but against all potential future shocks is crucial and in the interest of all nations. Global cooperation and solidarity are therefore critical, and all countries should work together to address the virus and ensure equitable vaccine distribution while also ensuring that no one – and no country – is left behind.

Earrings from the Excavation of the Cemetery without Mounds Psebeps-3 of the Middle of the 14th – Beginning of the 15th Century in the Krasnodar Krai
Authors:   Bunin Yelets State University, Tropin Nikolay A.
Published: January 2023

The earrings, one of the numerous groups of jewelry in the burial inventory of the cemetery without mounds Psebeps-3 of the second half of the 14th – early 15th century in the Krasnodar Krai are examined by the author. The typology of earrings, their location, their dependence on the gender, age, social and property belonging of the buried person are considered. The typology of G.A. Fedorov-Davydov is used in the classification of earrings. Statistical analysis by types indicates a significant predominance of type I and II earrings in the burial ground (68 %), that corresponds to the general historical background for the sites of the Golden Horde circle. Earrings of types VI, X, XII are presented approximately in equal proportions. X-type earrings are more typical for the Kuban region. The results of the gender and age determination of the buried people indicate that earrings were typical for women and girls of all ages, although they were found just in about half of women's burials. The most frequent occurrence of earrings in the burials is 1–2 finds. They are not found in the male burials. In some cases, earrings can indicate the important place of a woman in society. The importance and prospects of further research are determined by the results of paleo-anthropological and numismatic studies.

Authors:   Mari State University, Pameev Rodion A.
Published: January 2023

Terracotta tiles are a characteristic objects of Russian culture in the 17th century. These terracotta tiles are intended for facing stoves. The article deals with tiles and stamps for making tiles found during the archaeological study of the historical part of Tsaryovokokshaysk. A stove faced with tiles was a luxury item for the upper strata of the population. That is why the findings of tiles are more interesting in the territory of a small town, where wealthy people made up a small percentage of the population. The technology of manufacturing tiles speaks in favor of the presence of local production. Stamps found on the territory of the town for applying a pattern on tiles also indicate the presence of such production in Tsaryovokokshaysk of the 17th century. Stamps are quite rare finds on the territory of Russia, and those ones found far from the centers of tile production are of even greater value. Tsaryovokokshaysk stamps have a more complicated and varied pattern than those found in other regions earlier. The revealed tiles were described and grouped according to the composition of the drawing. In 2021 there was found a tile that had been made using a stamp found in 2015. This fact also proves the presence of local production in the town during the 17th century. The production of tiles in Tsaryovokokshaysk ceased in the 18th century due to socio-economic reasons.

For a long time, the Mayemir (Mayemer) culture of the Early Saka period was considered insufficiently well-studied. By now the range of sources has expanded considerably with the excavation of barrows at several burial grounds. Specific archaeological materials have been obtained. This situation has determined the necessity of additional involvement of museum objects and their study at the interdisciplinary level. The article considers two metal objects (a mirror and a war hammer), which are stored in the Regional Museum of Rubtsovsk (Altai Territory, Russia). They were discovered at the junction of the northwestern foothills of the Altai and the Aleysk steppe. For the first time an X-ray fluorescent analysis of the exhibits has been made and the specifics of the bronze alloy used have been established. On the basis of the involved analogies the cultural-chronological attribution of important finds has been carried out.

Plant-based meat is one of the most commercialized alternative protein foods, and its market size is increasing worldwide. Media often emphasizes such an increase is led by vegetarians’ preferences. This study begins with asking whether vegetarians’ roles are so crucial in the market and aims to understand their intake intention for plant-based meat. For this study, we use Decision-Tree model to identify vegetarians' characteristics and use logistic regression and ordered logistic regression to analyze the determinants of intake intention for plant-based meat. Results show the followings: First, main determinants of intake intention for plant-based meats were interest in health, food safety and the environment. Second, vegetarians' preferences for plant-based meat was not so high as media has emphasized. This study is meaningful in that it identifies determinants of intake intention for plant-based meat and suggests future strategies for consumption enhancement.

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar las razones que describe una muestra de 204 adultos colombianos para rechazar el proceso de inmunización para la enfermedad COVID-19. Teniendo en cuenta que la temática es novedosa, y que los estudios similares o relacionados son limitados, los alcances de esta investigación se centraron en identificar dichos argumentos, tanto de forma específica, como agrupados en dimensiones. Para ello, se estableció una metodología de tipo cuantitativo-descriptiva, mediante la cual se calcularon los promedios y las desviaciones estándar de las subescalas de la prueba RV-COVID-19, además de efectuar un análisis de frecuencias de cada ítem. En cuanto a los resultados más relevantes, se encontró que la subescala de Mitos y creencias puntuó más alto que las demás, mostrando también los promedios más altos en el análisis por ítems; sin embargo, se destacan también ciertos elementos, relacionados con la distancia que hay que recorrer hasta los puntos de vacunación, el tiempo que puede tardar este proceso y el temor al dolor que la aplicación produce como justificaciones para no vacunarse. Por otra parte, las pruebas correlacionales mostraron que la variable Nivel educativo tuvo una relación significativa de carácter negativo, mientras que las variables Edad y Sexo no mostraron tener significancia estadística.

The Regional Plantation Company (PDP) Kahyangan Jember as a producer of Robusta coffee experienced a decline in profits. As a result of not fertilizing coffee plants, the production of PDP Kahyangan Jember coffee has decreased drastically. So far, Gunung Pasang PDP Kahyangan Jember gardens only use chemical fertilizers and never use organic materials to maintain soil fertility. The use of litter buried in the rorak around the coffee plant canopy is an alternative to increase soil organic matter and plant nutrients. Decomposer technology from cow rumen can be applied to accelerate the decomposition process of plant litter which can increase soil organic matter while providing nutrients or nutrients needed by plants. The objectives of this service are: (i) accelerating the process of decomposition and mineralization of plant litter; (ii) increase soil organic carbon and provide plant nutrients; (iii) improve growth and increase coffee crop production. The method of service is carried out, among others, namely: (i) counseling in the form of the importance of increasing soil organic matter around the coffee plant canopy and the role of decomposers from cow rumen to accelerate the process of decomposition and mineralization of plant litter as a provider of plant nutrients); (ii) training in the practice of making decomposers from cow rumen; (iii) apply the decomposer technology from cow's rumen to plant litter and evaluate the results of the application of decomposer technology from cow's rumen to plant litter. Through discussions and questions and answers between the Telecommunications Rumen Decomposer Technology Development Team at the State Polytechnic of Jember with the PDP Kahyangan Management Team and the Management of Gunung Pasang Jember Gardens, it was concluded that the application of cow rumen decomposer technology has been running smoothly and quite successfully and can be applied in plantation areas
