Authors: Ioyleva E. E. , Bratchuk A. А. , Khabazova M. R.
Published: September 2022

Recent years have seen an increase in tobacco mixture smokers using hookahs. Dangerous substances released during smoking cause substantial harm to the entire body, and bring about visual impairment with toxic optical neuropathy. Eye structures which are the most susceptible to toxin damage are the cells of the optic nerve and retina. Substances released when smoking hookah tobacco mixtures have a direct neurotoxic impact on the optic nerve and cause metabolic damage to the retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cells. Timely detection of this damage is complicated by the similarity of its clinical picture with other optic nerve diseases, which requires a thorough differential diagnosis.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: to analyze the results of repeated micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (mTSCPC) in the treatment of refractory glaucoma (RG).

Material and methods. We examined 74 patients aged 73.2 ± 6.3 years with developed (13), advanced (48) and terminal (13) stages of refractory glaucoma before and within 15 months after the first mTSCPC (SUPRA 810, Quantel Medical, France) using standard laser parameters — 100 J. According to indications, the repeated mTSCPC was performed for 17 patients. Of these, 4 patients had the second procedure three months after the first procedure, 10 patients — 6 months after it, and 3 patients, 9 months after the first procedure. The repeated mTSCPC was performed with an impact energy higher than the first one — 125 J.

Results. After the first procedure, the hypotensive effect was held in 57 patients with RG (77.0 %) up to 15 months of the follow-up. The repeated mTSCPC given to 17 patients made it possible to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) by 38.5 % for the developed RG stage, by 33.9 % for the advanced stage, and by 21.4 % at the terminal stage (p < 0.05) by 6–12 months of follow-up. The hypotensive effect was held in 13 out of 17 patients by the end of the follow-up.

Сonclusion. Single and repeated mTSCPC with laser energies of 100 J and 125 J are effective and safe techniques of RH treatment. Possibly, it is worth revising the basic parameters of the mTSCPC procedure from 100 to 125 J to achieve a longer and at the same time safe hypotensive effect in patients with RG.

Purpose: to analyze clinical and functional manifestations and the course of different stages of primary congenital glaucoma (CG) at different times of the disease onset, using the data of admissions to the Department of Eye Pathology in Children of the Helmholtz Research Center of Eye Diseases.

Material and methods. 191 patients (320 eyes) with CG, of which 113 were children (191) eyes with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) aged 1 month to 16 years, underwent standard ophthalmological examination (autorefractometry, visometry, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy), electrophysiological examination (flash VEP, ganzfeld and flicker ERG) and echobiometry (axial eye length measurement).

Results. A detailed clinical and functional characteristic of PCG, including structural and functional changes occurring at different stages. Most children with PСG showed advanced stages of the glaucomatous process: in cases where PСG was detected by 1 month of life, the advanced stages claimed 71.1 %, whilst the children diagnosed with PCG between 1 and 12 months of age, the advanced stages were found in 91.2 %. clinical manifestations were found to have variability, not always corresponding to the stages of the disease. In particular, we detected a correlation between disease progression and decreased VEP amplitude (p < 0.05), while no such correlation was found with respet to ERG parameters and VEP latency.

Conclusion. Despite the fact that PCG is detected comparative early, the destructive glaucomatous eye damage leads to severe and often irreversible consequences. The timing of CG manifestation is determined by the degree of congenital abnormalities in the eye drainage system that, together with secondary structural changes of eyes (cornea, axial length, retina and ONH) entail a more severe prognosis of PCG in case of an early disease onset. New objective criteria are needed to assess the severity and prognosis of PCG, which is important for the preservation of visual functions, prevention of low vision and blindness.

Purpose: a comparative study of the efficacy and safety of the generic drug Dorzial Plus, an analogue of the original reference drug Cosopt®, in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Material and methods. The study involved 80 patients of both sexes aged 55–75 with newly diagnosed POAG of the initial and advanced stages with uncompensated intraocular pressure (IOP), of which 40 patients (study group) received Dorzial Plus and 40 patients (comparison group) received the reference drug (Cosopt®). Hypotensive efficacy of the drugs in both groups was assessed using a portable ophthalmic tonometer Icare PRO (Finland) by reducing IOP from the initial level after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months of treatment.

Results. In both groups, the screening showed comparable average IOP values: 26.7 ± 3.2 mm Hg in the reference drug group and 27.4 ± 2.8 mm Hg in the Dorzial Plus group. After 1 week of therapy with Cosopt, IOP showed a significant decrease of 33% (reduction to 17.9 ± 3.2 mm Hg), while the group receiving Dorzial Plus demonstrated a 31% decrease (reduction to 18.9 ± 1.7 mm Hg). After 1 month of the instillation regimen, a slight increase in P0 (of about 3%) was recorded in both groups (increase to 18.7 ± 2.3 and 19.7 ± 2.0 mm Hg, respectively). By the end of the 3 months’ follow-up period, IOP decrease level with respect to the baseline remained practically the same, amounting to 30 and 29% (up to 18.6 ± 1.8 and 19.5 ± 2.3 mm Hg), respectively. The state of the ocular surface showed a slightly negative dynamics of tear film rupture time and OSDI index in the reference drug group, which could be observed throughout 3 months of therapy. In the study group, therapy with preservative-free drug containing a moisturizing agent (sodium hyaluronate) revealed a significantly changed OSDI index, manifesting itself in restructured severity of the evaluated features.

Conclusion. Dorzial Plus reduces IOP in POAG patients by an average of 30% of the baseline, so that its hypotensive efficacy is comparable to the original fixed combination Cosopt. The tolerability analysis of the study drug demonstrates a significant positive dynamic of the state of the ocular surface as soon as 3 months after therapy start.

Authors: Putrawan Bobby Kurnia , Eunike Pratiwi
Published: September 2022

In the history of Islam, in the classical era, radicalism has existed, so it is not a new phenomenon in the modern age. Since the time of the Caliph Umar radicalism has emerged, but not yet organized, only in the time of the Caliph Ali bin Abu Talib this movement began to be systemized and organized through a Khawarij theological movement with its radical and uncompromising understanding of various acts of violence to oppose the tahkim or arbitration between the caliphs. Ali ibn Abi Talib and Muawiyah. Arbitration takes place in the context of the Shiffin war in which the khawarij group considers those who agreed to deviate from Islamic teachings. Later in Cairo an organization that had the same characteristics as the khawarij emerged, who wanted the authenticity of the teachings of Islam in the form of literal interpretation, without compromise, softening or reduction or reinterpretation. In filling out theological studies related to radicalism, this research was made to analyze "The relationship between radical genealogists in the classical period and the contemporary era in interpreting the Qur'an literally" At the end of the analysis will discuss the deconstruction of jihad as an effort to explain the meaning of jihad from various paradigms.

Theology in Giving greatly influences a person's helping, giving, and sowing wealth. However, the redesign of the theology of giving needs to be emphasised to anticipate primordialism in giving as a catalyst for helping human needs in this pandemic era. The pandemic has taken away human happiness and peace, and increased death rates, poverty, and neglect are happening everywhere. The first question is, how does theology of giving according to the Bible? Second, how does applying the theology of giving become a catalyst in loving humans in the era of the pandemic? The purpose of this study was to find out the truth of the theology of giving based on the Bible and the steps in applying the theology of giving as a catalyst for aid in a pandemic. Qualitative research with a literature study and observation approach. The research results on the theology of giving according to biblical truth are 1. They are giving with love. 2. Give by faith. 3. Giving willingly, sincerely, and joyfully. 4. Give your best, not what's left. 5. Giving in all circumstances. 6. Sow bountifully you will reap; sow will reap little. 7. Giving impacts this world and the life to come. This application of the theology of giving is threefold: teaching, modeling, and organising.

Published: September 2022

Latinoamérica es una de las regiones más violentas del mundo, y lamentablemente el Perú se incluye entre los países más violentos de la región. Esto afecta no solo a las víctimas sino a la sociedad y ello también se traduce en pérdidas económicas y limitantes para lograr el bienestar de sus ciudadanos. Por ejemplo, en el Perú, al menos el 63,2% de las mujeres ha sido víctima de algún tipo de violencia en el año 2018 (INEI, 2019), y el lugar de ocurrencia no son solo los hogares, sino también otros espacios sociales que se perciben como seguros como son las instituciones educativas, como las universidades. Sobre la base de lo mencionado, se presenta una investigación exploratoria que muestra la percepción de los estudiantes universitarios respecto al nivel y tipo de violencia que han sufrido. Para brindar una mejor visión de la problemática, se analizaron variables que complementan el estudio como el género, el tipo de violencia y los lugares más recurrentes donde se presentan estos escenarios desfavorables para el desarrollo de una persona. En los resultados planteados, se encontró que al menos el 56% de los encuestados ha percibido ser víctima de violencia.
Optimization of Multiple Helical Fillets Surface to Suppress Rain-wind Vibration of Stay Cables: A Wind Tunnel Investigation
Authors: Nguyen Duy Thao , Vo Duy Hung , Hai Viet , Haque Md. Naimul
Published: September 2022

Aims:

To develop a new cable surface for control rain wind induced cable vibration of stay cable.

Background:

Stay cables are light and vulnerable structures. Therefore, it can be easily excited by wind or rain wind interaction. Stay cables wrapped with a single helical fillet have been proposed so far. However, these countermeasures could prevent cable vibration well, especially in dry conditions.

Objective: Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop a new cable surface to control not only RWIV but also dry galloping of stay cable.

Methods:

A wind tunnel test will be used to investigate the RWIV characteristics and its new countermeasure.

Results: First, a rain wind-induced vibration of circular stay cable was reproduced in a wind tunnel environment. The effect of upper and lower water rivulets was examined to understand their role on RWIV better. A rainfall simulator was employed to generate artificial rainfall for two different wind tunnel experiments. Finally, to control the RWIV of stay cables, novel multiple helical surface fillets were used. The upper and lower rain rivulets can play a significant role in energizing the RWIV. It was also found that the multiple helical surface fillets can suppress the cable vibration well both in wet and dry conditions.

Conclusion:

Multiple helical fillets cable surface could successfully prevent both the RWIV and dry galloping. To fabricate helical fillet cable to control cable vibration, 04 to 12 fillets with sizes ranging from 3mmx7.5mm to 5mmx7.5mm and a pitch of 2.95D-4.78D (D: cable diameter) are the most influential parameters and suggested herewith for practical application.

Authors: Alim Abdul , Nurfadhila Risti , Yulianto Wahyu Dwi
Published: September 2022

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the inability to carry out face-to-face lectures in all universities, including courses for sports science students. It results in less than optimal learning outcomes during the pandemic. Since the closing of face-to-face lectures, most universities in Indonesia have used virtual classrooms in the implementation of learning. However, the data shows that lessons in virtual classrooms without appropriate learning methods can result in a learning loss. This literature review study aims to analyze the effectiveness of flipped learning as a learning solution during the pandemic. The technique used in this study was a literature review. A systematic search of literature regarding the implementation of flipped learning during the pandemic, and the obstacles to the teaching and learning process for sports science students during the pandemic, were conducted on the PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar databases. The literature analysis used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. A total of seven articles were selected for review. The article review results revealed that implementing flipped learning increased students’ motivation, participation, and learning performance. To conclude, flipped learning can be applied to students in sports science to increase their motivation, participation, and learning outcomes.

Published: September 2022

Exercise can have a physiological effect on the body, including the work system of the heart and lungs. The lungs have an important role in human life, where there is an exchange of oxygen with carbon dioxide through the respiratory process. In terms of health, exercise needs to be done by every human being, because exercise can increase the work of the lung muscles, whereas if the lung muscles work well, the ability to accommodate oxygen or the vital capacity of the human lungs also increases. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of physical exercise on vital lung capacity. This research method uses a pre-experimental approach with pre and post-test one-group design. The sampling technique of this study used a random sampling of 30 respondents. The instruments used were observation sheets from the examination of vital lung capacity and spirometry. Analysis Research data analysis using the Wilcoxon Rank Test. The results of the Wilcoxon Rank Test statistical test obtained P = 0.000 with a safety level of = 0.05 meaning P value = . Conclusion It can be concluded that there is a difference in the vital capacity of the lungs before and after participating in the sacred tapak exercise so that this research is expected to be useful for athletics in improving physical fitness, especially by routinely doing sports or physical exercise such as participating in the sacred tapak exercise.
A Qualitative Study Exploring the Impact the Self-Compassion App Has on Levels of Compassion, Self-Criticism, and Wellbeing
Authors: Beaumont Elaine , Irons Chris , McAndrew Sue
Published: September 2022

Self-guided, smartphone apps may be helpful in reducing symptoms associated with psychological distress and may boost wellbeing, and levels of compassion. To our knowledge this is the first study to examine the impact a 28-day app based on Compassion Focused Therapy and Compassionate Mind Training has on participant’s levels of compassion, wellbeing, and self-criticism. The Self-Compassion App includes exercises, meditations, quotes, a daily wisdom, and audios, all of which aim to help individuals develop compassion for themselves, experience compassion from others, and be more compassionate to other people. The aim of the study was to explore participants’ experiences of the app, including ease of use, preferred sessions, barriers, as well as perceived impact on well-being, self-compassion, and self-criticism. Nine members of staff and eight students from The University of Salford took part in two focus groups; one for staff and one for students approximately four-six weeks after use of the app. The analysis highlighted eight themes: (1) Thinking of my experiences differently (2) Soothing the threat: Managing the three systems (3) Stop, reflect, and befriend the self-critic (4) Looking after me: The therapist within (5) Fears, Blocks, and Resistances (6) Looking back at the good things in life (7) Gender of Therapist (8) An ap(p)t App. Following use of the app, participants reported that they were more supportive of themselves, connected with their compassionate self, befriended their inner critic, experienced gratitude, and in times of personal struggles, reminded themselves that the present moment was an opportunity for compassion to be applied. The COVID-19 pandemic had, and continues to have, a negative impact on the mental health of many people. Therefore considering interventions that utilise technology with the aim of boosting wellbeing, levels of compassion, and reducing self-criticism is imperative.
The Potential Role of an Adjunctive Real-Time Locating System in Preventing Secondary Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in a Hospital Environment: Retrospective Case-Control Study
Authors: Kim Min Hyung , Ryu Un Hyoung , Heo Seok-Jae , Kim Yong Chan , Park Yoon Soo
Published: September 2022

Background

There has been an increasing demand for new technologies regarding infection control in hospital settings to reduce the burden of contact tracing.

Objective

This study aimed to compare the validity of a real-time locating system (RTLS) with that of the conventional contact tracing method for identifying high-risk contact cases associated with the secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Methods

A retrospective case-control study involving in-hospital contact cases of confirmed COVID-19 patients, who were diagnosed from January 23 to March 25, 2022, was conducted at a university hospital in South Korea. Contact cases were identified using either the conventional method or the RTLS. The primary endpoint of this study was secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among contact cases. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis comparing test positive and versus negative contact cases were performed.

Results

Overall, 509 and 653 cases were confirmed by the conventional method and the RTLS, respectively. Only 74 contact cases were identified by both methods, which could be attributed to the limitations of each method. Sensitivity was higher for the RTLS tracing method (653/1088, 60.0%) than the conventional tracing method (509/1088, 46.8%) considering all contact cases identified by both methods. The secondary transmission rate in the RTLS model was 8.1%, while that in the conventional model was 5.3%. The multivariable logistic regression model revealed that the RTLS was more capable of detecting secondary transmission than the conventional method (adjusted odds ratio 6.15, 95% CI 1.92-28.69; P=.007).

Conclusions

This study showed that the RTLS is beneficial when used as an adjunctive approach to the conventional method for contact tracing associated with secondary transmission. However, the RTLS cannot completely replace traditional contact tracing.

Authors: Lin Shuo-Yu , Cheng Xiaolu , Zhang Jun , Yannam Jaya Sindhu , Barnes Andrew J. , Koch J. Randy , Hayes Rashelle B. , Gimm Gilbert , Zhao Xiaoquan , Purohit Hemant , Xue Hong
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND

Social media platforms provide a valuable source of public health information, as one-third of US adults seek specific health information online. Many anti-tobacco campaigns recognized such trends among youth and have shifted their advertising time and effort toward digital platforms. Timely evidence is needed to inform the adaptation of anti-tobaacco campaigns to changing social media platforms.

OBJECTIVE

In the present study, we conducted a content analysis of major anti-tobacco campaigns on Facebook using machine learning and natural language processing methods as well as a traditional approach to investigate the factors that may influence effective anti-smoking information dissemination and user engagement.

METHODS

We collected 3,515 posts and 28,125 associated comments from seven large national and local anti-tobacco campaigns on Facebook between 2018 and 2021 including The Real Cost, Truth, and CDC Tobacco Free (formally known as Tips from Former Smokers), Tobacco Prevention Toolkit, Behind the Haze VA, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, and Smoke-Free US. Natural language processing methods were used for content analysis including parsimonious rule-based models for sentiment analysis and topic modeling. Logistic regression models were fitted to examine the relationship between anti-smoking message framing strategies and viewer responses and engagement.

RESULTS

We found that large campaigns from government and non-profit organizations had more user engagements compared to local and smaller campaigns. The Facebook users are more likely to engage in negatively-framed campaign posts. Negative posts tended to receive more negative comments (OR= 1.40, 95% CI 1.20 - 1.65). Positively framed posts generated more negative comments (OR = 1.41, 95% CI 1.19 - 1.66), as well as positive comments (OR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.13 - 1.48). Our content analysis and topic modeling uncovered that most popular campaign posts tended to be informational (i.e., providing new information), where the key phrases included talking about harmful chemicals (14.3%), as well as the risk to pets (6.3%).

CONCLUSIONS

Facebook users tended to engage with anti-tobacco educational campaigns more that are framed negatively. The most popular campaign posts are those providing new information, with key phrases and topics discussing harmful chemicals and risks of second-hand smoke for pets. Educational campaign designers can utilize such insights to increase the reach of anti-smoking campaigns and promote behavioral changes.

Published: September 2022

Background and objectives

To date, employment figures of kidney transplant recipients in Europe are inconsistent. Additionally, little is known about work functioning of employed kidney transplant recipients and work functioning trajectories before and after transplantation.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Data from the ongoing TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort study and from community-dwelling employed adults were used. Health-related work functioning of kidney transplant recipients was assessed with the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire 2.0 and compared with potential kidney donors and community-dwelling employed adults.

Results

We included 668 kidney transplant recipients of working age (59% men, age 51±11 years) at median 3 (interquartile range, 2–10) years after transplantation, 246 potential kidney donors of working age (43% men, age 53±9 years), and 553 community-dwelling employed adults (70% men, age 45±11 years). The proportion of employed kidney transplant recipients was lower compared with potential kidney donors (56% versus 79%). If employed, the work functioning score of kidney transplant recipients was slightly lower compared with employed potential kidney donors yet higher compared with community-dwelling employed adults (medians 91 [interquartile range, 76–98], 94 [interquartile range, 85–99], and 88 [interquartile range, 79–95], respectively). Backward linear regression analyses revealed that lower educational level, having a kidney from a deceased donor, presence of tingling or numbness of hands or feet, presence of concentration/memory problems, presence of anxiety, and presence of severe fatigue were independently associated with lower work functioning among kidney transplant recipients. Additional subgroup analyses showed that work functioning scores were lower before transplantation than at 12 months after transplantation (83 [interquartile range, 66–93] versus 92 [interquartile range, 88–98], respectively; P=0.002).

Conclusions

Stable employed kidney transplant recipients report to function well at work. In addition, this study shows that self-reported work functioning is higher after successful kidney transplantation compared with before transplantation.

Authors: Oleiwi Jawad Kadhim , Hamad Qahtan Adnan
Published: September 2022

In this research, the effect of adding two different types of reinforcing particles was investigated, which included: nano-zirconia (nano-ZrO2) particles and micro-lignin particles that were added with different volume fractions of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% on the mechanical properties of polymer composite materials. They were prepared in this research, as a complete prosthesis and partial denture base materials was prepared, by using cold cure poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin matrix. The composite specimens in this research consist of two groups according to the types of reinforced particles, were prepared by using casting methods, type (Hand Lay-Up) method. The first group consists of PMMA resin reinforced by (nano-ZrO2) particles, while the second group consists of PMMA resin reinforced by (micro-lignin) particles.

The mechanical tests performed in this research includedtensile test, compression test, impact test and hardness test. The results of this study showed that the values of tensile modulus of elasticity, compressive strength and hardness properties increased with increasing the volume fraction of these particles in PMMA composite materials. While, the values of tensile strength, elongation and impact strength properties decreased. Also, the addition of (nano-ZrO2) particles showed greater effect than that of (micro-lignin) particles in some properties of PMMA composite materials for prosthesis denture base materials specimens, while they have lower effect for the other properties.

Chronic injuries are determining factors in the quality of life of diabetic patients, because besides causing physical weaknesses, they also affect the emotional and social aspects, providing the need to adapt to a new form of routine. The study aims to reflect about the relations between the presence of chronic lesions and the experience at home and to transcend a reflection related to family participation in the care of these patients. This is a study of the narrative literary review type, with a theoretical-reflexive aspect, of qualitative approach and exploratory bias, it was carried out through data obtained from the BDENF, LILACS via Virtual Health Library, and SciELO portal, using the descriptors combined with the Boolean operator And "Quality of life, Diabetes Mellitus, Chronic Wounds, Home Care". The following inclusion criteria were adopted for the studies in the search: articles published in scientific journals, books and book chapters, theses and dissertations in English, Spanish and Portuguese, related to the theme. Studies available in paid form were excluded. Fourteen studies were included. From the analysis, the following categories emerged: The presence of chronic injuries in diabetic patients in home care and its interference in their quality of life and the importance of the family in assisting diabetic patients with chronic wounds at home. Primary care through the family health strategy plays a key role, identifying diabetic patients with chronic wounds and susceptible to developing them, and thus, training their families and caregivers, always seeking to include family members in the care process, because it is proven that the family plays a key role in the implementation of care and health planning. Furthermore, the health education offered by family members and caregivers is little documented in the literature. In this perception, a need emerges for a greater number of scientific productions that focus on family action and home care, thus evidencing the importance of these publics.
James Joyce’s Modernist Dublin: Leopold Bloom and the Critical Eye of Ulysses’ Outsider
Authors: Stevens James Lewis
Published: September 2022

This paper analyses the ways in which Leopold Bloom critiques Dublin city life from his position as the excluded outsider figure of James Joyce’s Ulysses. Consideration will be given to Bloom’s engagement with Dublin and its transformation into a cosmopolitan city, its effect on Irish identity and consciousness, and its relationship with the Catholic Church. Finally, an attempt will be made to situate the ruminations of Ulysses’ hero within a wider context of a distinct Irish modernist movement that, as Ronan McDonald suggests, offered an “outright hostile response to essentialist ideas of […] Ireland or Irishness” as was previously “advanced by the Irish revival at the fin-de-siècle” (178). The prevailing question at hand, then, is this: how does Bloom’s critique of a modernising Dublin, from the position of the cultural outsider, coincide with the wider concerns of an Irish modernist movement that was responding to ideas laid out by their nationalist forebearers?
Transatlantic Exile and Othering in Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence
Authors: Byer Tia
Published: September 2022

Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence is a tale of transatlantic exclusion and differentiation depicting the Europeanized American Countess Ellen Olenska’s return to the capitalist and insular society of Old New York. This article examines the fundamental irony of what is a broadly cosmopolitan novel, permeated by differing degrees of hierarchy, racial and ethnic labelling, and immigrant activity. In this novel, Wharton shows how continental expatriation, which is the legacy of being American, is written out of the national narrative. Ellen’s status as the compromised and exoticized cultural ‘other’ becomes demonised as a corruptive force by the American elite, who fear that evidence of American cultural adaptability and cosmopolitan acculturation disproves the founding myths pertaining to exceptionalist notions of the New World’s racial distinction. By tracing the tribal savagery that the upper echelons of New York society display in response to Newland Archer’s and Ellen’s flirtation, this article demonstrates the inaccuracy of enforced hemispheric binarization. I argue that Ellen’s forceful and brutal eradication from New York society, although intended to reinstate the near compromised dignity of American ideals and future bloodlines, instead derives from self-conscious misjudgement concerning national insularity.
Negotiating Power: Olive Schreiner and Racial Exclusion in New Woman Fiction
Authors: Bharucha Huzan
Published: September 2022

This article examines the contentious relationship between New Woman literature and the British empire. Olive Schreiner’s novella, Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland (1897), and The Story of an African Farm (1883) demonstrate how New Women writers adopted exclusionary imperialist ideologies in order to promote their agenda of female emancipation in fin-de-siècle Britain.

Suppose that G = (V (G), E(G)) is a graph and |V (G)| = p. If there exists a bijective function f : V (G) → {1, 2, 3, ..., p} such that an f c : E(G) → N defined by f c(uv) = (f(u)f(v))when f (u) > f(v) and f c(uv) = (f(u)f(v))when f (v) > f (u) is an injection function, then f is called a combination labelings and G is called a combination graph. This article considers a suitable bijective function f and prove that G(Cn, Cm, Pk) which are graphs related to two cycles and one path containing three parameters, are combination graphs.
El régimen jurídico de las islas en el derecho internacional
Authors: Lertora Pinto Francisco
Published: September 2022

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 established in Article 121 the legal status of islands. Article 121, paragraphs 1 and 2, are part of customary international law because it repeats the provisions of the Convention on the Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone of 1958, but paragraph 3 of Article 121 introduced a new differentiation between islands and rocks. According to paragraph 3, the rocks do not produce full maritime spaces, with the exception of the territorial sea and the contiguous zone. Therefore, this implies a restriction to States with island territories in the extension of their claims for maritime spaces, including the exclusive economic zone, the continental shelf and the extended continental shelf. The purpose of this paper is to analyze Article 121, especially the difference between islands and rocks, the contribution of the jurisprudence on the matter and its implications in international law.
Design and Implementation of Power Supply for Ventilator
Authors: J P Rohini
Published: September 2022

Abstract: DC-DC Converters are the inevitable stage in a system to power-up an electronic device, as it is very prominent to obtain a regulated and constant dc-dc supply to most of the electronic devices. These dc-dc converters are supplied with the dc supply either given directly by dc sources like batteries or obtained by converting AC to DC supply. In the proposed project, firstly the single phase ac supply of 230V,50 Hz is boosted to 390V DC and concurrently the power factor of the supply is corrected in the Boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) stage using IC UCC28180 which constitutes the first stage of the project. Further, this DC voltage is given to the Forward converter where it is stepped down to 48V DC which is finally given to power-up the ventilator. The designing of both Boost and Forward converters is done and they are verified by simulating them in the MATLAB Simulink software platform. Hardware implementation with the designed values is done and the relevant waveforms are obtained.

One thing cannot be denied from teaching and learning process is teaching material and methodology. They are often used interchangeably. Therefore, the creation of the teaching materials is underpinned based on the methodology that has been widely used and existed. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) as the methodology has been widely implemented in the classroom and materials in teaching and learning language. However, the CLT principles in the textbook are not much evaluated. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the CLT principles in the English textbook in Indonesia, to be exact Bahasa Inggris SMA Kelas 11 Semester 2 Textbook for Secondary Students in Indonesia.  In evaluation process, the researchers used an adopted textbookâ€™s evaluation checklist from Grantâ€™s and Cunningsworthâ€™s evaluation tools. Furthermore, there are five aspects to be focused which are the material, CLT claims, activities, provided skills, and tasks in the textbook. The findings showed that the textbook is not really implementing the principles of CLT. Moreover, it can be recognized from its activity and skills. Therefore, several aspects such as task, activity, and skills are needed to be improved. At the end of the chapter, suggestion for improving is also attached to improve the coursebook.
