Published: March 2021

Introduction and Main Objective: This study attempted to explain the anxieties from the insights of expatriates and their views related to international assignments in Bangladesh after the Holey Artisan attack in 2016, this study also discusses the immediate and current status of expatriation in Bangladesh. Background Problems: The host countries’ environment plays an important role in accomplishing any overseas assignment. Bangladesh with its ethnicity of warm hospitality has always been an ideal place for expatriates from both novel and similar cultures and environments. Conversely, the recent incidents of terror attacks, notably the major attack at ‘Holey Artisan Bakery’ in 2016 have changed many calculations. Research Method: This qualitative research is a combination of narrative situational analysis and longitudinal study. Primary data was collected through interviews. Findings/Results: Research findings revealed some aftermaths of the attack related to the actions taken by the authority of the state. And how this incident hampered the assignments and work-life balance of the expatriates. Novelty: This particular study contributes to the existing literature of international human resource management with the tools and technics of effective crisis management from the real-life experiences of the expatriates. Conclusion: This study suggests that this is high time for organizations to work on their people and culture management strategies to increase interfaith, intercultural, and multiracial harmony.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Value coaching is an inseparable part of education, which can be a powerful means of warding off negative influences in the globalization era. Main objectives: Regarding the importance of value coaching, this study aims to describe Kiai's leadership program in building a value system in Islamic boarding schools (IBS). Background problems: The study was also conducted in response to the existing symptom among young people that shows their ignorance of values and morals in social manners. Novelty: The study on  Kiai’s program is intended to cover a value system based on transcendent values in instilling the students’ values. Research Method: This research used a qualitative method, and the research subjects consisted of Kiai, Ustadz (teacher), and Santri (students). The data were obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were then validated by triangulation and processed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings: The results revealed that the role of the Kiai had designed the value system program from upstream to downstream for IBSs. Conclusion: It is concluded that the projection of Islamic boarding schools in the future is the idealism of the Kiai's thinking, which continues to change and develop in line with the development of the IBSs. This finding's implication is the importance of systematic follow-up of value system implementation to achieve better goals.

Authors: Beygzadeh Saeed , Beygzadeh Vahid , Beygzadeh Zahra
Published: March 2021

Currently two types of tests are available for COVID-19 (diagnostic tests and antibody blood tests). In this study, we propose a new biosensor based COVID-19 diagnostic device, which can decrease the COVID-19 outbreak in the world. The proposed device offers powerful capabilities to screen for the COVID-19 disease with unprecedented sensitivity that makes detection possible at some of the earliest instances of exposure or infection (before the individual is showing symptoms of the disease) in a patient’s exhaled breath, sneeze sample, cough sample, mucus sample and nasal discharge sample. This device consists of bioreceptor, transducer, detector and data processor and it can detect COVID-19 biomarkers from the collected samples in less than one hour. Furthermore, it is a favorable device which has several benefits including fast detection capability, better reproducibility compared to other methods, easier use and high reliability, and it can be designed without negative effect in the clinical analysis.
ПОСТМАТЕРИЈАЛИЗАМ У СРБИЈИ
Authors: Павловић Нина
Published: March 2021

Ronald Inglhart's modernization theory provides a model of global value change, with affirmation of specific national paths of change. The paper considered the importance of the index of postmaterialism as a key element of the self-expression dimension. The distribution of (post)materialistic values in Serbia is presented based on data from the European Values Study and World Values Study from 2001, 2005 and 2008. The data indicate the presence of a stable structure in which the mixed and materialistic type predominates.The influence of sociodemographic factors on postmaterialism was examined by applying the regression analysis to the data from 2008. The results indicate a significant influence of the age, level of education and size of the city, while the impact of the amount of income is not statistically significant. The obtained results support Inglhart's theory of values, but do not exclude the effect of the life cycle.
LITERARY HERO AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR IN THE READING BOOKS FOR YOUNG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN
Authors: Stojanović Buba , Zdravković Danijela
Published: March 2021

The twenty-first century, the century of technology, has brought a lot of novelties, but also challenges and problems for everyone living and working in this century. The dynamic changes of the modern society affect everyone, especially the young. That is why it is necessary to make certain changes concerning the place and role of education in the development of an individual in order to avoid any antagonism between the student and school that could have serious consequences.Choosing the adequate learning materials, organizing them didactically and methodologically in textbooks, along with a well thought out teaching process are the actions supposed not only to increase the quantity of knowledge, but also focus on the emotional, social and moral education of young people.A good literary work offers many possibilities for this. By starting from Ingarden’s assertion that there are two different phases of reading a literary text (While-Reading Stage; Post-Reading Stage), this paper emphasizes that a more detailed interpretation of the literary hero is very important for the development of emotional sensitivity, and moral and social responsibility starting from an early age.A literary hero can be analyzed from different perspectives. The analysis of the reading books for the third grade of primary school published in Serbia will help us find out if these books insist only on the literary heroes’ actions, behavior and qualities, or if they also insist on the descriptions, speech, feelings and moods, as well as on the connection with the students’ experience.The emphasis is on the linguistic and methodological apparatus which serve as valuable guidelines to the teachers to help the students interpret and understand the literary work.The results obtained indicate that the authors of the reading books mainly focus the students’ attention to the characters’ actions, behavior and characteristics, while they focus less on the description of the characters’ looks, feelings and moods, and the least attention is paid to what the characters are saying, as well as to the need to take specific actions and help others, where the teacher's responsibility is to use appropriate methodological approaches to ensure proper motivation for a more productive analysis of the character, in order to prompt self-reflection, and the adoption of positive values and socially responsible behavior in students.

Published: March 2021

Climate change has acquired a status of a global issue in the second half of the 20th century, nowadays becoming more and more prominent. The negative effects of climate change as manifested through natural disasters are noticeable the most in forest stands and forest ecosystems. This study covers the period from 2008 to 2017, and the data included was collected from official statistical reports. The data on the following categories was collected: average annual air temperature, average annual precipitation, average annual relative air humidity, the number of disaster events, such as insect activity, plant diseases, wildfires, or climate and geological disasters, causing damage in state forests, and the scope of such damage. The aim of this paper is to analyze the said data and to use the results to determine the influence of observed climatic elements on the incidence of damage, the scope of damage, and the damage per one disaster event in Serbian state forests. This paper is significant because it represents a pioneering attempt to synthesize the influence of temperature, precipitation, and humidity on the incidence and scope of damage in state forests resulting from insect activity, plant diseases, geophysical events, and wildfires in Serbia (excluding the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija). A non-linear dependence of the influence of climate factors on damage incidence and scope has been determined.
APPLICATION OF THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS IN CRIME DETECTION
Authors: Kesić Tanja V. , Bjelovuk Ivana
Published: March 2021

The application of thermal imaging cameras in crime detection has raised the question of the legality of their use, as well as the procedural value of thus obtained information. With regard to these questions, the standpoint of the U.S. court practice has shown diametrically opposite views. The earliar U.S. courts rulings took the position that the application of thermal imaging cameras was not subject to the fulfillment of any particular conditions and that it was encompassed by police discretionary decisions. The position of later rulings was that the application of new technologies, including thermal imaging cameras, was subject to basic conditions required for searching, i.e. mandatory obtaining of the court order with the purpose of protecting the right to privacy. As the application of thermal imaging cameras in the Republic of Serbia is prescribed neither by laws nor by by-laws, it could be governed by general regulations on the use of technical means in implementing operational tactical measures and actions, as well as gathering of evidence. Therefore, thermal imaging cameras might be used in police actions, such as police observation, covert surveillance and recording. In the course of covert surveillance and recording, as part of theevidence gathering process, the use of thermal imaging cameras would be regulated by the same conditions by which the undertaken actions are regulated. Since the possibility of the application of thermal imaging cameras while performing police observation is not explicitly provided for, dilemmas with regard to their use still remain, as well as the issues concerning their procedural value.
LIFE IMPRISONMENT AS AN ANSWER TO CONTEMPORARY SECURITY CHALLENGES - THE (IN)ADEQUACY OF THE RETRIBUTIVE APPROACH –
Authors: Grujić Zdravko V.
Published: March 2021

Contemporary Serbian criminal legislation characterizes the concept of expansionism – the strengthening of the prescribed penalties and extending the limits of criminal repression (“punitive populism”), as legislative response to the trends of criminality, potential security challenges and public attitudes on the adequacy of the social response to the phenomenon of crime. The latest in a series of legislative changes envisages the introduction of life imprisonment as a new penalty in the criminal sanction system and, at the same time, the abolition of (long-term) imprisonment from thirty up to forty years. The severity of the criminal law reaction is reflected not only in the introduction of life imprisonment, but also in the prohibition of conditional release for the convicted, to life imprisonment for certain serious crimes, although such a solution is often challenged in comparative and international jurisprudence. The aim of this paper is to review the justification of introducing life imprisonment in our criminal legislation and to point out the (in)acceptability of certain normative solutions; to determine the potential scope and effects of life imprisonment as penalty, that is, to critically analyze the adequacy of the retributive approach in relation to the trends of criminality and contemporary security challenges.

Authors: Stanojević Jelena , Pavlović Miloš
Published: March 2021

A secure environment plays a crucial role in the overall stability of the economy, having an impact and contributing to its competitiveness. Although an absence of security risks cannot certainly drive the country's economic development and competitiveness, its existence would definitely have far-reaching consequences for the economy. The paper aims to analyze the national security of the European (EU) countries and Serbia, reflected in the following security indicators: business costs of terrorism, business costs of crime and violence, organized crime, and the reliability of policy services. In this context, the study provides a comparative analysis of the mentioned indicators in order to assess their trend, as well as the correlation between national security and national competitiveness with the aim to determine how national security affects national competitiveness. The empirical analysis of the study includes 28 EU member countries and Serbia as a candidate country, covering the period from 2011 to 2017, with data available in the Global Competitiveness Reports. The findings of this study allow for a better understanding of the overall national security and its impact on the national competitiveness in the context of the EU and Serbia.
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Authors: Trifunović Darko
Published: March 2021

Corporate governance is a complex process that represents a relatively new concept in the countries in transition, as is the case in the Balkans. A particularly important phenomenon is that of company managers, running state-property companies, mostly in the company’s success, but largely invested in their personal gain and self-promotion. It is often the case that they sign detrimental contracts for their own profit, therefore, jeopardize, and weaken the entire economic system of a country, which represents a serious security risk. Modern cooperative governance assumes an entire set of security measures that have to be undertaken in respect to the degree of threats that may jeopardize the profit and success of a company.
A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA TECNOLOGIA AGROPECUÁRIA PARA A SUPERAÇÃO DA POBREZA NA AMAZÔNIA
Authors: De Sousa Silva Lindomar de Jesus , Meneghetti Gilmar Antonio Meneghetti , Costa Pinheiro Jose Olenilson , Carvalho dos Santos Alessandro
Published: March 2021

A Amazônia concentra grande quantidade de riquezas naturais e, paradoxalmente, também convive com níveis muito elevados de pobreza, que persistem ao longo do tempo. O Amazonas detém o maior percentual de pobreza entre os estados do Norte do Brasil. A pobreza neste que é o maior estado da Federação alcançou níveis próximos da metade da população total, sendo superada somente pelo Maranhão, cujo percentual de pobreza alcançou mais da metade do total. Nesse contexto, surgem diferentes iniciativas de inclusão social e de enfrentamento da pobreza protagonizadas por sujeitos e instituições privadas e públicas. O estudo que apresentamos analisa e sistematiza a importância da tecnologia agropecuária para a superação da pobreza, a redução das desigualdades socioeconômicas e a promoção de um desenvolvimento que contribua para solucionar as privações e garantir um modo de vida sustentável. A metodologia constituiu-se de pesquisa exploratória, como forma de familiarização com a temática. Como resultado, mostramos que a tecnologia, para contribuir efetivamente para a superação da pobreza, precisa ser acompanhada de políticas públicas, incluindo-se assistência técnica, crédito, ampliação do apoio institucional para o fortalecimento da organização das comunidades, do associativismo e do cooperativismo. Para a superação da pobreza, portanto, fazem-se necessárias estratégias que vão além das melhorias econômicas e do aumento da renda.
PANORAMA DOS ASSENTAMENTOS RURAIS EM SANTA CATARINA
Authors: De Souza Danieli Cristina , De Oliveira Estevam Dimas
Published: March 2021

O presente artigo tem por objetivo traçar um panorama da distribuição territorial dos assentamentos rurais nas mesorregiões catarinenses e identificar o acesso a políticas públicas, como o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) e a Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural (ATER), pelos assentados. A pesquisa tem uma abordagem exploratória descritiva sobre políticas públicas e reforma agrária, juntamente com os dados da Diretoria de Obtenção de Terras e Implantação de Projetos de Assentamento. Como resultado tem-se 162 projetos, com 5.033 famílias assentadas, distribuídos nas seis mesorregiões do Estado. Constataram-se 138 contratos de ATER e 243 de PAA distribuídos em 21,6% dos assentamentos. As mesorregiões da grande Florianópolis e do sul catarinense contam com a menor quantidade de projetos de assentamentos, mas possuem maior média de área por família e nenhum projeto contemplado com a ATER e o PAA. Conclui-se que há uma distribuição desigual no território catarinense em relação ao acesso às políticas públicas (ATER e PAA) instigada especialmente pelas pluralidades das comunidades assentadas e pelas diretrizes institucionais das modalidades de projetos e desses programas estudados.
PROGRAMA NACIONAL DE CRÉDITO FUNDIÁRIO (PNCF) EM SERGIPE: AVANÇOS, LIMITES E CONTRADIÇÕES
Authors: Da Costa José Eloízio , Dos Santos Pinheiro Fabiana , Santos Feitoza Daniela
Published: March 2021

A concentração fundiária é um fato marcante na história do Brasil. Diante disso, em 2003, o governo federal criou um importante instrumento de política pública para viabilizar a compra de terras e imóveis que não podem ser desapropriados: o Programa Nacional de Crédito Fundiário (PNCF). Este programa tem sido relevante para o melhoramento das condições socioeconômicas de pequenos produtores, especialmente da região Nordeste. Por sua vez, o caso de Sergipe é emblemático, pois do ponto de vista nacional o PNCF ainda é incipiente, todavia alguns avanços e melhorias precisam ser enfatizados. Nesse aspecto, o presente artigo busca analisar os principais efeitos e contradições gerados a partir do PNCF no estado de Sergipe. Tendo como caminhos metodológicos o levantamento bibliográfico, coleta de dados secundários, trabalho de campo e análise crítica dessas informações. Para tanto, a superação de demandas históricas e das complexidades do mundo rural passa eminentemente por reestruturações qualitativas das políticas públicas de modo a ampliar sua integração, bem como seu alcance econômico e espacial. Além disso, é preciso considerar o fomento financeiro desses programas governamentais na contramão das medidas de austeridade, mediante criação e desenvolvimento de um planejamento estratégico, que pondere especialmente as condições socioeconômicas das famílias rurais pobres.
SUICÍDIOS DE FUMICULTORES E ATUAÇÃO DOS AGENTES DE EXTENSÃO RURAL PÚBLICA NO VALE DO RIO PARDO/RS
Authors: Drebes Laila Mayara , Bevilaqua Marin Joel Orlando
Published: March 2021

O artigo analisa o quadro institucional de ações e representações sociais construído pelo serviço público de extensão rural para o posicionamento de seus agentes frente aos suicídios de fumicultores no Vale do Rio Pardo/RS. Consiste em um estudo de caso cujos dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com agentes de extensão rural e, complementarmente, pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados evidenciam que os fumicultores não são inteiramente reconhecidos como integrantes da categoria socioprofissional agricultura familiar, não sendo facultado aos mesmos o usufruto de benefícios ofertados a outros agricultores familiares. Quando recebem atenção dos agentes do serviço público de extensão rural, os fumicultores são alvos de tentativas de implementação de ações de diversificação produtiva para redução das áreas de fumicultura. Ações como essas são compreendidas pelos fumicultores como desvalorização de seu trabalho, o que pode contribuir para crises identitárias e, consequentemente, suicídios. Portanto, apesar de visualizado como instrumento de resolução de problemas nas áreas rurais, o serviço público de extensão rural não pode ser assim compreendido no âmbito de prevenção dos suicídios de fumicultores: na visão de seus agentes, os suicídios são casos de saúde pública.

Published: March 2021

The Mexican family companies must face the challenges of market volatility with greater recurrence, forcing them to use effective tools and models for the proper management of their organizations and inherent activities, such as inventory management. Therefore, this research was carried out at “Moles Santa Monica”, a typical food company located in the city of Puebla, Mexico. This enterprise has reflected a high variability in the administration of its inventories, with a Coefficient of Variation (CV) greater than 0.2 in most of their portfolio products. In this way, the objective of this study was to propose an inventory management model that might reduce the shortages and overstock, and also; improves its performance and profitability when it is managed. The applied methods were Pareto and ABC model to choose correctly the best seller company products. The inventory management model chosen was the periodic review (R, S) as well, for being the most effective and the one that best suited the circumstances of the company in question. Three of the portfolio products were studied (MPP10, MPC10 and COP10) due to they are the most representative in incomes and valuables for the company managers. The results allowed us to propose the review periodic model (R), the optimal quantity of units to produce (Q), the safety stock (Ss) and the maximum inventory (S) for each product. We conclude that this model will help the company to face the uncertainty of the demand. Finally, we include limitations and future studies.

Published: March 2021

A água é recurso essencial à vida e buscar ferramentas capazes de proporcionar uma gestão ambiental mais eficiente desse bem natural associado a questões socioeconômicas, sobretudo em assentamentos sem saneamento básico, torna-se fundamental à luz do preconizado pelos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, da Agenda 2030 da ONU. Objetiva-se testar a Pegada Hídrica - PH como indicador capaz de auxiliar na gestão dos recursos hídricos associando dados socioeconômicos e ambientais em um assentamento precário marcado por condições de pobreza no estuário do rio Macaé, no município de Macaé, RJ.  Além de pesquisas na literatura especializada e em fontes documentais, também foram levantados dados in loco sobre abastecimento de água e condições gerais de saneamento do assentamento precário Rio Novo. A metodologia consistiu em comparar a Pegada Hídrica dos itens que compõem a cesta básica, dada a inexistência de abastecimento domiciliar de água, com a quantidade de água disponibilizada àquela população por meio de caixas d’água comunitária, resultando num valor de Pegada Hídrica superior ao volume de água potável fornecida aos moradores. Diante dos resultados pode-se concluir que a PH tem potencial para avaliar dados ambientais associados a condições socioeconômicas da população local e auxiliar na gestão mais eficiente e equitativa dos recursos hídricos.
A insustentabilidade do trabalho de Sísifo: Observações críticas sobre o desenvolvimento sustentável a partir do caso de Macaé-RJ
Authors: Silva Matheus Thomaz da , Leal Giuliana Franco
Published: March 2021

O artigo apresenta uma leitura crítica da noção de desenvolvimento sustentável a partir do caso do município de Macaé, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A partir de uma base teórico-metodológica da epistemologia ambiental e da ecologia política, buscou-se compreender as marcas da colonização e dependência, para então analisar a noção de desenvolvimento, metaforicamente apontada como o trabalho de Sísifo. Com essa base, foi possível destacar os limites da ideia de desenvolvimento sustentável, com uma revisão de literatura e leitura crítica dos documentos “Nosso futuro comum” e Agenda 21. Por fim, obeservou-se o caso de Macaé-RJ, município que teve um crescimento econômico de grandes proporções a partir da última década do século XX, bancado pela consolidação da indústria extrativista de petróleo no local. As contradições indentificadas entre esse crescimento e a noção de desenvolvimento sustentável mostram que o munícipio, mesmo com importantes avanços,  não alcançou um desenvolvimento sustentável. Com uma revisão de literatura que trata dos indicadores e questões econômicas, sociais e de sustentabilidade, percebeu-se que Macaé - assim como Sísifo, ao rolar sua pedra, com suor a escorrer pela testa empoeirada – segue obstinada a alcançar o desenvolvimento sustentável, sem sucesso.

Associations between DNA methylation and telomere length during early life: insight from wild zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
Authors: Sheldon Elizabeth , Ton Riccardo , Boner Winnie , Monaghan Pat , Raveh Shirley , Schrey Aaron , Griffith Simon
Published: March 2021

Telomere length and DNA methylation (DNAm) are two promising biomarkers
of biological age. Environmental factors and life history traits are
known to affect variation in both these biomarkers, especially during
early life, yet surprisingly little is known about their reciprocal
association. Here, we present the first study on a natural population to
explore how variation in DNAm, growth rate and early-life conditions are
associated with telomere length changes during development. We tested
these associations by collecting data from wild, nestling zebra finches
in the Australian desert. We found that increases in the level of DNAm
were negatively correlated with telomere length changes across early
life. We also confirm previously documented effects of post hatch growth
rate and clutch size on telomere length in a natural ecological context
for a species that has been extensively studied in the laboratory.
However, we did not detect any effect of ambient temperature during
developmental on telomere dynamics. We also found that the absolute
telomere length of wild zebra finches, measured using the in-gel TRF
method, was similar to that of captive birds. Our findings highlight
exciting new opportunities to link and disentangle potential
relationships between environmental, epigenetic and telomere length
dynamics during early life.

Authors: Güzelçiçek Ahmet , Demir Mahmut , Kirmit Adnan , DOGAN MEHMET
Published: March 2021

Background Dental caries can be affected or altered by the body’s
oxidant / antioxidant balance and oxidative stress. Aim/Hypothesis To
examine the relationship between dental caries and Total Oxidant Status
(TOS), Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), and Oxidative Stress Index (OSI).
Design The study group consisted of 52 children with dental caries
(DMFS/dfs ≥ 5), and the control group consisted of 42 healthy children
(DMFS/dfs = 0). The saliva samples, unstimulated and mid-morning, were
collected from all children. Participants’ saliva samples were acquired
by spitting for 5 minutes, after which the samples were frozen and
stored at 4 ° C and kept at -80 ° C until analysis. NCSS (Number
Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 (Kaysville, Utah, USA) was used for
the statistical analysis. Results TOS of the patient group cases were
statistically significantly higher than those of the control group
(p=0,004; p<0,01). OSI values of the patient group cases were
statistically significantly higher than those of the control group
(p=0,008; p<0,01). Conclusion OSI and TOS as markers of
oxidative stress levels were found to be significantly higher in the
group of patients with dental caries than in the healthy group.
Larval breeding sites of the mosquito Aedes aegypti in forest and domestic habitats in Africa and the potential association with oviposition evolution
Authors: Xia Siyang , Dweck Hany , Lutomiah Joel , Sang Rosemary , McBride Carolyn , Rose Noah , Ayala Diego , Powell Jeffrey
Published: March 2021

Adaptations to anthropogenic domestic habitats contribute to the success
of mosquito Aedes aegypti as a major global vector of several
arboviral diseases. The species inhabited African forests before
expanding into domestic habitats and spreading to the rest of the world.
Despite a well-studied evolutionary history, how this species initially
moved into human settlements in Africa remains unclear. During this
initial habitat transition, Ae. aegypti switched from using
natural containers like tree holes as larval breeding sites to using
artificial containers like clay pots. Little is known about how these
natural versus artificial containers differ in their environments, or
whether Ae. aegypti in forest versus domestic habitats evolved
any corresponding incipient behavioral divergence, such as in
oviposition. To address these gaps, we first characterized physical
characteristics, larval density, microbial density, bacterial
composition, and volatile profiles of natural versus artificial
containers used as mosquito larval breeding sites. We focused on two
localities in Africa, La Lopé, Gabon and Rabai, Kenya. In both
localities, our data showed that the two habitat-specific container
types had significantly different characteristics. We then examined
whether such containers differed in their attractiveness for
oviposition, a key behavior affecting larval distribution. Forest
Ae. aegypti readily accepted artificial containers in our field
experiments, and laboratory choice experiments did not find distinct
oviposition preference between forest and village Ae. aegypti
colonies. These results suggested that African Ae. aegypti were
likely generalists in their oviposition site choice. This flexibility to
accept different containers might play a vital role during the initial
domestication of Ae. aegypti, allowing the mosquitoes to use
human-stored water as fallback breeding sites during dry seasons.
Although ovipositional changes were not present initially, after longer
domestic habitat breeding, the mosquitoes did evolve divergence
oviposition preference, as suggested by previous comparisons of African
Ae. aegypti and human-specialized non-African Ae. aegypti.
The voiding dysfunctions in patients with non-Hunner-type interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome do not affect long-term treatment outcome

Aims: The role of urodynamic studies in the diagnosis and prognosis of
interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) remains
controversial. We evaluated the correlation of baseline voiding
dysfunctions with long-term treatment outcome in a large cohort of
patients with IC/BPS. Methods: We studied 211 patients with
nonulcerative IC/BPS. All patients underwent video urodynamic
examination at baseline to identify their voiding conditions and they
received subsequent treatments. The primary endpoint was the global
response assessment (GRA) at the current interview. Secondary endpoints
included O’Leary-Sant score (OSS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain,
and the rate of IC symptom flare-up. Results: Mean patient age was 56.8
± 12.8 years and mean IC symptom duration was 16.0 ± 9.9 years. At
baseline, 83 (39.3%) patients had a voiding problem and 62.7% had one
to three comorbidities. The duration, comorbidity, treatments, changes
in OSS and VAS, maximum bladder capacity (MBC), glomerulations, GRA, and
flare-up rate were not significantly different among the different
voiding subtypes. When we divided the patients by their voiding
conditions of normal (n = 32) and hypersensitive bladder with (n = 76)
and without (n = 103) voiding dysfunctions, only MBC (P = 0.002) and
glomerulation (P = 0.021) demonstrated a significant difference. When we
analyzed subgroups by GRA, patients with a GRA ≥ 2 had a significantly
shorter disease duration. There also were significant associations
between GRA and the changes in OSS and VAS (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Voiding dysfunctions in patients with non-Hunner IC/BPS do
not affect long-term treatment outcome.
Behavior of beeswax and edible oils mixtures in supercritical carbon dioxide at moderate temperature
Authors: BITTENCOURT GABRIELA , Aredo Victor , Oliveira Alessandra Lopes de
Published: March 2021

This study investigated the behavior of lipid mixtures of beeswax with
avocado oil or Brazil nut oil in supercritical CO2 processing. It
entailed the measurements of melting temperature (Tm), solidification
temperature (Ts), volumetric expansion (Ve), solubility of supercritical
CO2, and solubility of the lipid mixtures in supercritical CO2 at fixed
pressures. The Tm and Ts of lipid mixtures decreased progressively to a
lower level (closer to 150 bar) that were then increased with increasing
pressure. The volumetric expansion, solubility of supercritical CO2, and
solubility of the lipid mixtures in supercritical CO2 increased as
pressure increased. On the basis of the results, particle formation
using these lipid mixtures as carrier materials could be feasible with
supercritical CO2 at a temperature of 60 °C and pressures from 150 to
300 bar. The moderate temperature of the process could allow its
application with thermally labile bioactive compounds.

A two year longer on-farm research on conservation agriculture was conducted at Bhangnamari area of Bangladesh during November-June in 2014-15 and 2015-16 to evaluate the performance of non-puddled rice cultivation under increased crop residue retention. The rice variety BRRI dhan28 was transplanted under puddled conventional tillage (CT) vs. non-puddled strip tillage (ST) with 50% standing residue (R50) vs. conventional no-residue (R0) practice. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. There were no significant yield differences between tillage practices and residue levels in 2014-15. But in the following year, ST yielded 9% more grain compared to CT leading to 22% higher BCR. Retention of 50% residue increased yield by 3% over no-residue, which contributed to 10% higher benefit-cost ratio (BCR). Results of this two year on-farm study confirmed that the ST combined with 50% residue retention yielded the highest grain yield (5.81 t ha-1) which contributed to produce the highest BCR (1.06).
Subjectivity does not necessarily entail arbitrariness
Authors: Babic Jovan
Published: March 2021

The thesis of the paper is that both non-moral and moral values are
subjective and also objective. Non-moral values are objective because they
are subjected to commensurability and have a price. They are subjective
because they depend for their existence on the fact that somebody has
decided to realize an end, the realization of which is a non-moral value (if
the process of realization was successful); there are indefinitely many
criteria of non-moral values. Moral values are objective because the
criterion of moral evaluation is one and invariable. They are subjective
because their existence depends on the fact of our being interested in their
existence: interest in being able to be interested. That is possible only
because subjectivity does not necessarily imply arbitrariness.
Realist and antirealist interpretations of Wittgenstein’s rule-following considerations
Authors: Jandric Andrej
Published: March 2021

The sceptical paradox which Kripke found in Wittgenstein?s rule-following
considerations threatens the very notion of meaning. However, Kripke also
offered a sceptical solution to it, according to which semantic sentences
have no truth conditions, but their meaning is determined by assertability
conditions instead. He presented Wittgenstein?s development as the
abandoning of semantic realism of the Tractatus in favour of semantic
antirealism, characteristic of Philosophical Investigations. Crispin Wright,
although at points critical of Kripke?s interpretation, also understood the
rule-following considerations as containing a crucial argument for
antirealism. Contrary to Wright, John McDowell maintained that they offer a
transcendental argument for realism. In this paper, I will argue that
neither the realist nor the antirealist reading is faithfull to
Wittgenstein, as his important conceptual distinction between criteria and
symptoms is not adequately recoverable in any of them. Hence the upshot of
rulefollowing considerations is that the distinction between realism and
antirealism should not be articulated in terms of truth/assertability
conditions.
Folk psychology, eliminativism, and the present state of connectionism
Authors: Subotic Vanja
Published: March 2021

Three decades ago, William Ramsey, Steven Stich & Joseph Garon put forward an
argument in favor of the following conditional: if connectionist models that
implement parallelly distributed processing represent faithfully human
cognitive processing, eliminativism about propositional attitudes is true.
The corollary of their argument (if it proves to be sound) is that there is
no place for folk psychology in contemporary cognitive science. This
understanding of connectionism as a hypothesis about cognitive architecture
compatible with eliminativism is also endorsed by Paul Churchland, a radical
opponent of folk psychology and a prominent supporter of eliminative
materialism. I aim to examine whether current connectionist models based on
long-short term memory (LSTM) neural networks can back up these arguments in
favor of eliminativism. Nonetheless, I will rather put my faith in the
eliminativism of the limited domain. This position amount to the following
claim: even though that connectionist cognitive science has no need
whatsoever for folk psychology qua theory, this does not entail illegitimacy
of folk psychology per se in other scientific domains, most notably in
humanities, but only if one sees folk psychology as mere heuristics.

Hepatobiliary cystadenoma is a rare benign cystic tumor of the liver. These are predominantly located in right hepatic lobe. A 45 year old female presented with abdominal pain, epigastric discomfort, fever and vomiting. On radiological evaluation USG showed large multiloculated cystic mass in right lobe of liver. Contrast Enhanced CT examination exhibited exophytically growing multiloculated cytic lesion with differential content and peripheral capsular and central enhancement with imaging diagnosis of hydatid cyst was given. The surgical excision of hepatic cyst was done. On histopathology reported as mucinous cystadenoma of liver with mesenchymal stroma. We are presenting this case for its rarity, clinical, radiological and histopathological findings.
Historical Lesson Plan with Project Based Learning in Senior High School during Pandemic
Authors: Vembriyanto Valentinus , Murniarti Erni
Published: March 2021

The pandemic event that occurred in Indonesia affected all lines of community life, one of which was in the field of education. During the pandemic, learning in schools was carried out with distance learning with an online model (in the network). The Minister of Education and Culture has planned a policy, namely "Free Learning" with the aim of creating enjoyable learning. Freedom of learning which is meant is freedom in thinking, opening up broad opportunities for educators and students to innovate and improve the quality of learning independently. A new challenge for educators, especially for history teachers, is to create innovative and learner-focused learning designs. Designing an innovative and simple lesson plan must still give place to the character education process. This is answered by using a project-based learning model, in which this learning model provides broad opportunities for students to explore and innovate in the knowledge being learned. With this the goal of independent learning will be achieved for teachers and students, so that education in Indonesia will produce quality education
