Ahdāf Soueif Makes a Map for Love: A Reality or a Fantasy Through the Meeting of Civilizations and Times? A Dialectic Vision in the Novel The Map of Love by the Egyptian Novelist Ahdāf Soueif
Authors: Bishara Hanan
Published: July 2022

It is impossible to talk about literature except through its genres. Besides, it is impossible to deal with any genre without starting with one of its types. When the writer decides to create a literary work, he produces it in the frame of a story, a novel or a poem within a general perception of literature, where all literary genres meet. The Arab novel has developed since the middle of the last century and it has achieved a presence that imposes itself on other genres and types, especially poetry, which kept occupying the central position in creativity. The historical novel, for example, was established in the Arab world by Jurjī Zaydān (1861-1914) at the beginning of the twentieth century, modelled on the Western historical novel and a lot of Arab novelists wrote in its form, stressing in one way or another that they were writing a historical novel. The historical novel is a type of novel in which history blends with imagination, and it intends to describe a certain period or a certain major event in a suitable narrative style that is based on history data, but without being tied or committed to it but often without adherence or commitment to them in most cases. When Ahdāf Sueif wrote The Map of Love, she introduced it in a dazzling way because it is based on the reader's manner of reading history and the concept of history through an amazing love story that is full of beauty that makes the reader unite with the text.
The Artistic Truth in Aristotle’s Criticism
Authors: Al.Sobh Mahmoud A. , Al Khamaiseh Ameen Z. , Al-Zoubi Samer M.
Published: July 2022

The present study examines Aristotle's definition of art. This examination helps in understanding the nature of art and the artistic truth it ought to carry. Aristotle believes that there is truth in art because it is not independent from the reality from which it emerges. The study advances the thesis that all arts are mimetic; therefore, they are produced by imitation. This notion has misled many thinkers by thinking that art is three times separated from the truth, as Aristotle's teacher, Plato has demonstrated in his argument on the nature of imitative arts. However, Aristotle does not repudiate this assumption, but he tries to create a natural bond between art and the reality it produces. In short, Aristotle invites his readers to enjoy the artistic truth in art by separating it from the actual one in reality.

Published: July 2022

The study's major purpose was to investigate the factors that influence engineering mathematics performance in Ghanaian technical universities. Three hundred and fifteen (315) participants were surveyed using questionnaires and six (6) expert interviews. Descriptive variables were examined using cross-tabulation, univariate, and bivariate statistical methods. The logistic regression model and Pearson's chi-square test were used to examine the relationship between the dependent variable (engineering student performance) and the predictive variables respectively. The study's findings revealed that several factors influence students’ performance in engineering mathematics, including age, terrible strain, and level of interest. It was revealed by an expert’s interview that students from senior high school like engineering mathematics whiles those from technical senior high school do not like engineering mathematics because of their poor background in mathematics. To reinvigorate students’ performance in this course area, pre-calculus classes for older students should be arranged to assist them to refresh their memory, according to the study, students should be encouraged to devote a significant amount of time to engineering mathematics coupled with tutorials.

Pure titanium represents one the most widespread biomaterials used for dental implants; on the other hand titanium alloyed with aluminum and vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) is mostly used in the technological process of fabrication of dental prosthetic restorations. Because pure titanium offers low resistance to loading and Ti-6Al-4V may lead to a gradual release in metallic ions with consecutive immunologic repercussions, in this study will be discussed: the technological procedures of obtaining Ti-Zr alloy, the microstructural modifications corroborated with the applied thermal regimen and the biocompatibility of Ti-Zr in relation with human osteoblasts (G292).

La demande croissante de traitement orthodontique rapide, surtout de la part de la population adulte, qui a recours de plus en plus à l’orthodontie, a généré des nouvelles solutions thérapeutiques. La corticotomie reprend un concept plus ancien, qui dit que c’est la densité de la structure du cortex alvéolaire qui fait obstacle au mouvement dentaire. L’orthodontie a besoin de ce mouvement dentaire, d’où la nécessité de désorganiser ce cortex via la chirurgie. Le processus de déminéralisation/reminéralisation osseuse (RAP) est localisé dans l’espace, selon la zone traitée et dans le temps, car il ne dure que quelque mois. C’est donc cette période que l’orthodontiste va mettre à profit pour optimiser le temps de traitement.

Membrane filtration technology has been extensively applied in water/wastewater treatment to help address the issue of water shortage, in which polymeric membranes are most commonly used. However, the hydrophobic nature of polymeric membranes would contribute to membrane damage caused by accumulation of organic/inorganic fouling during filtration processes. The strategy of membrane surface functionalization with nanoparticles (NPs) has been investigated and utilized to effectively improve membrane performance. Herein, recent research efforts on surface functionalization of polymeric membranes with a variety of NPs for water/wastewater treatment were concisely reviewed, focusing on metal and metal-oxide NPs. Methods for the immobilization of NPs on membrane surface and their influences on membrane properties and performances were overviewed. Results and contributions achieved in the improvement of membrane performances through surface functionalization with NPs were summarized, and emphasis was given to membrane hydrophilicity, stability, as well as antifouling and antibacterial property. Furthermore, perspectives on the current challenges and future research needs in the development and application of surface functionalized polymeric membranes were discussed.

Authors: Batenova Gulnara , Dedov Evgeny , Pivin Maksim , Nikitin Igor , Ettinger Olga , Smail Yerbol , Ygiyeva Diana , Pivina Lyudmila
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes a hypercoagulable state with a high incidence of thrombotic complications. Patients with a history of myocardial revascularization have more severe complications due to COVID-19. Coronary stent thrombosis has become significantly more common during the COVID-19 pandemic.

AIM: The aim of our study is to analyze scientific information on the risks of stent thrombosis in patients who underwent COVID-19.

METHODS: A search was made for scientific publications in evidence-based medicine databases and web resources: PubMed, MEDLINE, UpToDate, TripDatabase, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria were: (1) Observational studies or case series involving patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and myocardial infarction requiring myocardial revascularization; (2) the division of the population into survivors and non-survivors; and (3) data on the presence of the previous myocardial revascularization. Exclusion criteria: Case description and editorials/bulletins. In all articles selected for further analysis, 49 sources were considered that met the inclusion criteria and excluded duplication or repetition of information.

RESULTS: Coronavirus infection has contributed to the change in the course of myocardial infarction in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization. The incidence of stent thrombosis has a positive correlation with the severity of the coronavirus infection. The previous myocardial revascularization procedures significantly increase the risk of mortality in patients with coronavirus infection. This is especially actual for elderly patients.

CONCLUSION: One of the most vulnerable groups is elderly patients who have undergone myocardial revascularization after myocardial infarction in the past and have concomitant diseases. An analysis of scientific publications has shown that further larger-scale clinical studies are needed to confirm the hypothesis about the negative impact of coronavirus infection on stent thrombosis in patients who have undergone COVID-19.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Vernonia amygdalina is a native plant from Africa which is widely distributed to Asia, especially in Indonesia. Parts of V. amygdalina such as roots, leaves, and bark are used by the community as traditional medicines such as antidiabetic, antibacterial, and anticancer.

AIM: This study aims to show the effect of solvents in the V. amygdalina stem bark extraction process on phytochemical’s content and their correlation with pharmacological activities.

METHODS: V. amygdalina extract from stem bark in this study was obtained using the maceration method with different solvents. The extracts were investigated for total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoids content (TFC) using calorimetry assay. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to grouping the extracts based on Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) data. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was done using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethyl benzhothiazoline sulphonic acid) (ABTS) assay. While, the cytotoxic activity of the extracts was carried out using MTT assay on PANC-1 cell line. The correlation phytochemical content and pharmacology activities of extracts were analyzed using person correlation method.

RESULTS: There were significantly different TPC and total flavonoid content of extracts (p < 0.05). The ethyl acetate extract was identified to have the highest TPC, TFC, DPPH, ABTS, and cytotoxic values of 3.61 ± 0.03 mg GAE/g dry powder, 25.12 ± 0.09 mg QE/g dry powder, 27.12 ± 0.65 μg/mL, 67.02 ± 0.23 μg/mL, and 33.83 ± 0.82 μg/mL, respectively (p < 0.05). This is supported by PCA analysis which shows that there are differences in extracts based on FTIR data and there is a strong correlation between TPC and TFC values with antioxidant and cytotoxic activities.

CONCLUSIONS: This study report that each extract of V. amygdalina stem bark gives a distinct phytochemical profile (TPC, TFC, and FTIR spectrum) that contributes to the antioxidant activity and cytotoxic activity.

Published: July 2022

This study aimed to highlight and focus on curcumin’s role in enhancing the body defense mechanism against tuberculosis (TB) infection, using a narrative review. This review was identified by four search engines: PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, and Google Scholar. We found that as an immunomodulator, curcumin reduces the production of specific cytokines by inhibiting the transcription factor. In the same mechanism, curcumin also activates the host macrophages, dendritic maturation, and modulation of the antigen-presenting cell process. Curcumin also increases apoptosis as a defence mechanism against TB infection. Curcumin also increases B-cell proliferation and downregulates oxidative stress on B-cells. As results, curcumin is a potential immunomodulator that complements M. TB treatment, especially in Indonesia. It can be stated that curcumin is proven to be a promising strategy in complementing TB prevention also treatment.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Donggala Regional Government’s policies that allow rock mining permits to 54 companies resulted in environmental destruction and health disturbances of society due to polluted air and water. Society has minimum participation due to a lack of knowledge. Method: This socio-juridical research perceived law as an observable social symptom. It used the descriptive approach. Results: The Donggala Regional Government gave permits without adequate environmental impact assessments nor consideration for green mining to prevent pollutions that may affect people’s health. There is a lack of social participation as people lacked knowledge of mining and its effects. Discussion: Society has the right to reject giving permits (permit of distraction/hinder ordonnantie) if companies do not apply green mining, to prevent them from obtaining mining permits. Society also has the right to file a lawsuit against mining permits that are issued without adequate environmental and health analyses. Conclusion: The Donggala Regional Government have terrible mining policies as they do not analyze the process, waste management, and post-mining reclamation well. There is a lack of social participation as people do not know all mining processes and permits.

Given a smooth bounded domain \begin{document}$ \Omega\subset{{\mathbb R}}^2 $\end{document}, we consider the following Ambrosetti-Prodi problem with Neumann boundary:

   \begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l} -\Delta u = \left\vert{u}\right\vert^p-\sigma \quad {\mbox {in}} \ \Omega,\\ {\partial u \over \partial \nu} = 0 \quad {\mbox {on}} \ \partial \Omega. \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} $\end{document}

where \begin{document}$ p>2 $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ \sigma>0 $\end{document} is a large parameter and \begin{document}$ \nu $\end{document} denotes the outward normal of \begin{document}$ \partial \Omega $\end{document}. We constructed a new class of solutions comprised of a large number of spikes concentrated on a segment of the boundary containing a local minimum point of the mean curvature function and having the same mean curvature at the endpoints. A similar boundary-concentrating phenomenon was obtained for the Lin-Ni-Takagi problem by Ao et al. [3].
Utility of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis for Body Composition Assessment
Authors: Lim Soo
Published: July 2022

People with obesity are at high risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of malignancy. A significant reduction in muscle mass is also associated with increased risk of developing sarcopenia. In general, body composition is affected by several factors, including ethnicity, environment, genetics, and lifestyle patterns. Assessment of body composition is an important tool for maintaining good general health and longevity, and is utilized by physicians and researchers to monitor disease severity and nutritional status. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of dietary and drug interventions. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry is regarded as the gold standard method for analyzing body composition. However, there is an associated risk of a small amount of radiation exposure. In addition, severely obese people are not candidates for this method. Recently, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been developed. BIA poses no radiation hazard, is easy applicable and relatively inexpensive. Thus, BIA is widely used in fitness centers as well as in hospitals. Several studies have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of BIA for measuring body composition, but most have focused on subjects of European descent. Of note, body composition differs among ethnic groups: Asians have a greater tendency toward obesity at a lower body mass index than Caucasians. Therefore, an ethnicity-specific approach is required for precise estimation of body composition using BIA. In conclusion, healthcare providers should have a thorough understanding of body composition assessment and the advantages and disadvantages of different measurement methods.

Mount St. Helens, one of the highest-risk volcanoes in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, hosts a novel system of glaciovolcanic caves that has formed around the 2004−2008 lava dome. From 2014 to 2021 a multidisciplinary research team systematically explored and mapped these new caves to ascertain their characteristics. Air and fumarole temperatures, volume flow rates, and wind regimes were also monitored. More than 3.0 km of cave passages have formed in a semicircular pattern in the volcanic crater and provide an opportunity to (1) observe cave development over time, (2) identify low temperature fumaroles as the main driving force for cave formation, (3) verify the impact of seasonal snow accumulation on cave climate, and (4) assess heat distribution in subglacial and subaerial portions of the new lava dome. Glaciovolcanic cave systems on Mount St. Helens are comparatively young (<10 years) and the most dynamic in the Pacific Northwest. Observed cave expansion during the study suggests ongoing genesis and future formation of interconnected systems. However, further expansion may also be limited by increasing fumarole temperatures towards the upper parts of the lava dome, cave instability due to snow overload, or variable subglacial volcanic heat output. New glaciovolcanic cave system development provides a unique barometer of volcanic activity on glacier-mantled volcanoes and to study the subglacial environment. We present the results of eight years of initial study within this dynamic cave system, and discuss a pathway towards future longitudinal analyses.

Peru is a country with a lot of mining activities; however, these activities have a bad reputation due to pollution water. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the water quality of the Alto Huallaga watershed, Peru, due to the presence of nearby mining companies and urban populations. To this end, the research question is as follows: Do mining companies pollute the Alto Huallaga River more than urban populations? The research question is answered through the Grey Clustering methodology, which is based on grey systems, using information known from the National Water Authority (ANA). The main purpose of this work is to compare the quality of water that has been influenced by contaminants from mining and non-mining activities. The results obtained in this work show that the environmental management of the mining companies close to the rivered reduces the pollution produced by mining and non-mining activities to levels acceptable by law. On the contrary, it is observed that the absence of mining units has an influence on the increase in urban pollution produced by cities and towns near the watershed, which affects water quality. This research shows that formal mining activity in the watershed has a positive impact on water quality and allows future research to be opened regarding the influence on other environmental factors such as air, soil, biodiversity and even the social environment. Finally, this research is the beginning of a change in perspective on mining in the country.

De mata à estação ecológica: um estudo sobre Acauã, Alto Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais
Authors: Pereira Fernandes da Silva Emília , Galizoni Flávia Maria , Pereira Lima Vico Mendes
Published: July 2022

Nos anos 1970 o Jequitinhonha mineiro foi alvo das políticas de desenvolvimento da ditadura militar; grandes áreas de monocultura de eucalipto foram implantadas por meio de incentivos fiscais e justificadas pela expectativa de crescimento econômico baseado na siderurgia. As chapadas desta região sofreram ocupação intensiva pelo setor empresarial, que modificou profundamente os usos de solo e água. Remanescentes de vegetação nativa foram transformados em unidades de conservação. Este estudo analisou as relações entre comunidades rurais e a Estação Ecológica de Acauã, unidade de proteção integral da região, investigando a implantação da reserva, as interações estabelecidas com as famílias lavradoras e seus efeitos socioambientais. Os procedimentos metodológicos reuniram pesquisa social, florestal e espacial. Os resultados mostram que a criação da estação ecológica expropriou lavradores de direitos de acesso, partilha e gestão costumeira dos recursos da natureza em terras comuns, privando-os de acesso a 70% da área de cerrado na chapada. Em três décadas a mata nativa perdeu 18,6% da vegetação e as áreas de monocultura de eucalipto e pastagens plantadas aumentaram 274% e 189%, respectivamente.

Brizola e as condições de vida: um ensaio sobre a luta pela emancipação do Brasil
Authors: De Freitas Junior Moacir
Published: July 2022

O ensaio busca destacar a importância do tema do subdesenvolvimento como debate político nacional e como bandeira de lutas de Leonel Brizola no período de 1945-1964. Apoiando-se em discursos e conferências proferidos pelo líder trabalhista gaúcho em 1947 e 1961, portanto antes e depois dos eventos da Campanha da Legalidade, procuramos demonstrar como o tema da pobreza e das condições de vida era mobilizador do debate político nacional e mobilizado por diversos e amplos setores sociais interessados em construir um discurso que pudesse se colocar de modo hegemônico na sociedade e no Estado. Neste espectro, o PTB e Brizola nasceram politicamente tendo o combate ao subdesenvolvimento como bandeira e assim permaneceram até 1964, quando os acontecimentos políticos do período interromperam a democracia e, por consequência, o debate político acerca da carestia.

What is an Ore Deposit? Approaches from Geoscience and Archaeology in Understanding the Usage of Deposits
Authors: Stöllner Thomas
Published: July 2022

Metallogenic ore deposits can be construed and understood in different ways: it is easy for archaeologists and historians to  oversimplify the mineralogical complexity of an ore deposit when conceptualising deposits as deliverers of raw materials such as copper or gold. Deposits are most of the time not monometallic; rather they are a mixture of various minerals that can  significantly influence the metallic end products. Provenance data are often critically discussed on the basis of the explanatory value of ore mineralogy; however, archaeometallurgists may describe the complex mineralogical and chemical composition on a highly detailed level, disregarding the question of relevancy to the understanding of early societies, who tended to understand their environment on more empirical and practical levels. Archaeological theories are too often developed without regarding the specific quality of archaeometrical record, which needs detailed discussion about its quality and information value. Intense communication and close cooperation of specialists from diverse academic and scientific backgrounds are key in taking the study of metal resources forward.

A willing seller and buyer voluntarily agree upon the price for the exchange of X dollars for one Y widget. The trade satisfies some of their human wants. Both parties are better off for having made the profitable exchange or they would not have transacted. Once the Y widget becomes a life-saving organ, like a kidney, all bets are off according to the present prohibition on life-saving trades between two parties seeking to better themselves through an exchange. We contend that organs sourced from their willing owners seeking to sell part of themselves for a price present hitherto untapped life-saving trades that should be legalized forthwith.
