Published: November 2022

Since the late 2010's Enzyme processing is being used to produce biodiesel methyl
esters in over 31 commercial plants in all corners of the globe. The flexibility and
high yield benefits of enzyme processing have driven this adoption of biotechnology.
However esterification of triglycerides or fatty acids with methanol is only one of many
possibilities for enzyme processing in oleochemistry. Commercially available enzyme
technology are increasingly being used for a variety of processes including
esterification, transesterification, hydrolysis and glycerolysis. Reactions can be
driven either to the right or to the left by control of process conditions. Enzyme
processing invariably reduces CO2 emissions compared with thermochemistry, improves
productÂ Â purity by eliminating harmful side reactions, and reduces harmful effluent
discharges into the worldâ€™s waterways. The door is now open for enzymes to displace
thermochemistry for a variety of processes in the oleochemical industry. Whenever a
hydroxyl moiety meets up with a carboxylic acid an enzymatic reaction can take place.
Simple examples would be for simple emulsifiers and emollients such as isopropyl
myristate or cetyl ricinoleate. Other examples would include the reaction of fatty acids
with triethanolamine to produce mono or diesters of ethanolamine for use in skincare, as
a building block for betaines, or as a feedstock for cationic surfactants. Less obvious
and probably further out on the time horizon would be surfactants products from the
esterification of saccharides with fatty acids or alcohols for sugar based surfactants
and alkyl glucosides. As the oleochemical and surfactant industry moves from
thermochemistry to biotechnology the world will see measurable improvements in GHG
emissions, effluent discharges and sustainability.
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa R2: A potent oleaginous yeast isolated from traditional
fermented food, as a promising platform for the production of lipid-based biofuels,
bioactive compounds and other value added products

Oleaginous yeasts may provide an alternative platform for the sustainable
production of microbial lipids-derived biodiesel and other health promoting bioactive
metabolites such as natural pigments. In this regard, traditional fermented foods are
unique and untapped habitats for the isolation and characterization of oleaginous yeasts
with beneficial properties. In this study, we analysed the yeast diversity from selected
traditional fermented foods of Manipur and Mizoram, India and studied their oleaginous
attributes for biodiesel production. 14 potential oleaginous yeasts were isolated using
culture-dependent techniques. The isolates were identified by 5.8S internal transcribed
spacer (ITS) rRNA gene sequencing. Intracellular triacylglycerides (TAG) accumulation by
yeast cells were confirmed by Nile red fluorescence microscopy. Fatty acid methyl esters
(FAME) profile of the yeast strains were analysed by GC-MS. The identified yeast
isolates belonged to seven different genera viz. Rhodotorula, Pichia, Candida,
Saturnispora, Wickerhamomyces, Zygoascus and Saccharomyces. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa R2
exhibited the maximum lipid content (% lipid/g dry cell weight) of (21.63 %) after 96 h
of growth in nitrogen-limited medium. R. mucilaginosa R2 single cell oil (RMSCO) was
transesterified into biodiesel with a conversion efficiency of 96.6 % using a
heterogeneous potassium hydroxide catalyst (K-RAC) supported on R. mucilaginosa R2
deoiled cake activated carbon. The physico-chemical properties of the biodiesel derived
from R. mucilaginosa R2 single cell oil were within the limits of ASTM and EN standards.
FAME analysis of the transesterified lipid extract suggested the potential use of yeast
derived oil as an alternative to vegetable oil for biodiesel production. Furthermore,
carotenoids obtained from the pink yeast R. mucilaginosa R2 was composed of
torularhodin, torulene and Î²-carotene and exhibited strong antioxidant activity.

Birch tree barks are regarded as waste in the pulp and papermaking industry and
used as fuel. However, this material presents a source that contains many bio-based
chemicals suitable for applications ranging from pharmaceuticals, plastics and
composites, coatings, and antifeedants. Among the mixture of bio-derived chemicals in
birch barks, triterpenoids, such as betulin, betulinic acid, and lupeol, can be present
up to 30% weight of dry bark mass. They are highly valued for their anti-tumor, HIV, and
inflammatory responses. In our presented work, triterpenoid mixtures were extracted
through a Soxhlet extractor using the barks from locally sourced river birch trees
(Betula nigra) with an average yield of 10.6% (dry bark mass). The extracted materials
were characterized using the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Advanced Polymer
Chromatography (APC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and hydroxyl number
titration to assess the identity, average molecular weight, triterpenoid content, and
the number of reactive sites, respectively. The extracts have been used to synthesize
bio-based polymers with promising thermal and mechanical properties using minimal
processing steps. Birch bark extract naturally contains many potential reactive sites
and thus making it advantageous for synthesizing polymers without requiring multiple
purification steps. We demonstrate the potentials for increasing the utility of birch
bark, contributing to sustainability challenges in materials science and
engineering.

Cellulose and STOC (Soluble Tempo-mediated Oxidized Cellulose) were chemically
modified with different alkyl succinic anhydride with varying chain lengths including
succinic anhydride (SAC0), 2-Octen-1-ylsuccinic anhydride (SAC8), or 2-dodecen-1-yl
succinic anhydride to fabricate novel emulsifiers to stabilize the fish oil-in-water
emulsion system. After the pretreatment-Tempo-mediated Oxidation, STOC was characterized
by Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), Carboxylated content, Degree of Oxidation,
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). Based on
it, the succinylated STOC-based materials (STOC-SAC0, STOC-SAC8, STOC-SAC12) and
cellulose-based materials (Cellulose-SAC0, Cellulose-SAC8, Cellulose-SAC12), as a
comparison, were investigated. The contact angle of products, particle size,
zeta-potential, CLSM of the emulsions, antioxidative activity were studied. Compared
with other products, STOC-SAC12 showed a better surface activity with the lowest contact
angle. The emulsion coated by STOC-SAC12 formed a more uniform and smaller particle size
in the milk-like emulsion system proved by DLC and. Besides, the STOC-SAC12 possessed
good antioxidant properties including ABTS radical scavenging and Ferrous chelating
ability. Therefore, STOC-SAC12 represents a promising material with potential
applications in commercial food items to deliver sensitive oily nutritional
ingredients.

Published: November 2022

In this paper, a brief overview is given of two research projects that were done in South Africa during 1987 (a particularly difficult time under apartheid), and 1994 (the year that the first democratic elections took place), respectively. Some of the findings are discussed under the keywords: silence, transition, reservation, new vision. Reference is made to a historic sermon preached by Archbishop Desmond Tutu in St. George’s Cathedral in Cape Town only three days before the first democratic elections were held in South Africa on the 27th of April, 1994. The paper concludes with a reflection on an artwork by the South African artist, Willie Bester.
What’s at Stake in a Preacher’s Spirituality of Time?
Authors: McCray Donyelle Charlotte
Published: November 2022

A preacher’s spirituality of time may seem like a peripheral issue, but this realm is one where much is at stake. In this article I argue that the preacher’s approach to time scaffolds the overall endeavor. I begin by considering the church’s unique position in time, arguing that the church is fundamentally an event or a happening rather than an institution. Then, I explore ways preaching can foreground the church’s identity as an event. After describing preaching as the narration of a theological moment in the church’s life, I turn to practical implications. In addition to homileticians, my primary interlocutors for this piece include two renowned spirituality scholars, Evelyn Underhill and Abraham Joshua Heschel. I conclude that ecclesiology, pneumatology, and performance are all profoundly shaped by a preacher’s appreciation for the holiness of time.
Spirit on the Loose in Times of Transition: Early Women Preachers in the U.S.A.
Authors: Tisdale Leonora Tubbs
Published: November 2022

In recent decades historians have demonstrated that women were preaching in the U.S.A. long before the ordination of women to ministry. Many Quaker, evangelical, and Holiness women were itinerant preachers who traversed the country throughout the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, encountering numerous hardships and obstacles as they went. In this essay I identify and examine three types of transitions in which the Spirit appears to have been “on the loose” so that women were able to claim their preaching vocations: ecclesial and theological transitions, political and geographical transitions, and personal transitions in the lives of the women themselves. I conclude by reflecting on what we might learn from this history for opening the pulpit to preachers on the margins today.

Toward the end of 2015, 65.3 million people were seeking refuge or were otherwise forcibly displaced globally. This is the largest number since the recordings began around World War II. In Europe more than 1 million people arrived by sea in 2015 – more than four times as many as the previous year.1 The crisis situation stirred public debate as well as church-based initiatives trying to deal with the situation. In order to understand the interaction between public discourse and local preaching a group of homileticians from seven European countries collaborated on an empirical study of how the refugee crisis impacted preaching. In what follows we present the initial results from the Scandinavian countries.
하강과 상승: 한국개신교설교의 전망과 부정신학의 가능성
Authors: Choi Young Hyun
Published: November 2022

This article proposes that the Korean Protestant Church, which has lost its dynamism and is declining, needs a theological reformation. Greatly influenced by Puritan theology, Korean Protestantism has deteriorated into a largely individualistic and consumerist faith. Its credibility has collapsed as it pursued power and turned away from the other. This article identifies Evagrius’ negative theology as a promising theological corrective for the Korean Protestant church. Evagrius’ mystical theology remains largely unknown but his ethical and devotional moral vision provides a viable model for the Korean Protestant Church, which stands at a crossroad today.
Pauli Murray: In & Out of the Pulpit
Authors: McCray Donyelle C.
Published: November 2022

This keynote address was delivered on August 6, 2018 at Societas Homiletica at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and explores the relationship between preaching and identity. The lecture introduces Pauli Murray, a local saint whose activism, writings, and ministry challenged the church and broader society. After a detailed introduction, I consider three principal influences on Pauli’s voice: Cornelia Smith Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, and James H. Cone. Cornelia Smith Fitzgerald, Pauli’s maternal grandmother, provided a lens for thinking about the ethical and spatial contexts in which sermons arise. Langston Hughes, a fêted poet and author, offered literary inspiration and a model for moving among different genres. James Cone, a path-breaking scholar, gave Pauli vital theological footing and a framework for linking preaching, identity, and activism. Overall, I argue that Pauli Murray makes a singular contribution to the study of African American preaching.
Linking Emotion, Cognition, and Action within a Social Frame: Old Testament Perspectives on Preaching the Fear of the LORD
Authors: Portier-Young Anathea E.
Published: November 2022

Modern accounts of the meaning of “fear of the LORD” in the Hebrew Bible have tended to distance this important concept from the emotion of fear, offering alternative understandings as worship, obedience, or wisdom. This essay examines phrases such as “fear of the LORD,” “fear of God,” and “God-fearer,” across four sets of texts in the Hebrew Bible: 1) narratives in Genesis and Exodus; 2) Deuteronomy and other Deuteronomistic literature; 3) wisdom literature; and 4) Psalms. I argue that fear of the LORD/God in the Hebrew Bible typically does connote an emotional fear response that has in view divine power over life and death. The links between such fear and worship, and obedience, and wisdom that are attested in numerous biblical texts are not evidence of synonymy but a recognition of the fundamental link between emotion, cognition, and action. Recent developments in the study of emotion illuminate their interrelationship and the ways in which fear of the LORD/God is also socially shaped and shaping.
Awakening to Judaism and Jews in Christian Preaching
Authors: Charry Ellen T.
Published: November 2022

Preaching is a daring undertaking. Whether through music, sermons, reading scripture, or personal conversation, speaking of God is an interpretive act. One never quite knows how what one plays, says, writes, or depicts is received. The distance between minds is vast. And given that every set of eyes may read the same words differently and each set of ears hear each interpretive utterance differently, hoping to communicate meaningfully with those watching and listening is nothing short of audacious. Among these challenges, one of the most delicate is preaching on Judaism and Jews. Yet Christians cannot avoid it. Judaism and Christianity are one another’s nemeses. Some biblical texts lend themselves to anti-Jewish attitudes and stereotypes that may be unrecognized so deep is Christian contempt for Jews and Judaism. This paper offers suggestions for avoiding anti-Jewish preaching. To do that effectively it will be necessary to awaken a sensibility to the concern that pervades and penetrates Christian thought. That requires slogging through some “unprettiness.” The paper first illustrates anti-Jewish preaching by interrogating a popular text, Luke’s story of the Pharisee and the tax collector. It then briefly considers Christian hymns and sacred choral music and then focuses on four sermons: The Letter to the Hebrews, Melito of Sardis’s On Passover, Augustine’s sermon 122 on John 1:48-51, and a recent sermon on Galatians 3:23-29. It concludes with suggestions for preachers, musicians and congregations and includes guidelines for preaching on Jews and Judaism and a bibliography for further study.
Preaching in a Post-Truth Era
Authors: HyeRan Kim-Cragg
Published: November 2022

In this paper, the question of whether Christian preaching is implicated in the growing movement of populism is posed. The paper has identified three critical issues that call for investigation in homiletical hermeneutics. The first issue addresses the problem of biblical interpretation for homiletic practice. The second issue has to do with the impact of social media that often distorts the truth. Alarming dependence on the smart phone suggests that the task of the preacher in this rapidly changing visual and high tech culture is to deliver sermons that are critically aware of visual culture rather than literary culture. Finally, the paper calls for an approach to preaching that seeks to reveal missing, hidden and distorted truth as a way to speak against the demonic power of the profit-driven capitalism and the epidemic of gender-based violence against women and sexual minorities.
Neuroscience and Homiletics in Dialogue: Perspectives for Preaching
Authors: Stange Klaus A.
Published: November 2022

The modern history of neuroscience is still being written.1 Neuroscience has a long tradition of focusing on this object.2 However, while science with its status, it is recent.3 Its field of activities is broad, thereby also increasing several areas of knowledge, such as biology and medicine (contributing to the survey area of brain activities, regeneration research about the injured brain, the affect of drugs on mirror neurons, etc.),4 psychology (contributing to the survey area of human behavior),5 education (contributing to research that helps to understand how the brain learns),6 Philosophy/Theology (reconsidering the human’s identity, how conscience, faith is formed, etc)7 and, recently, artificial marketing and intelligence. In the area of neuroscience two distinct visions with correlating methodological approaches compete. The first seeks to find and associate a specific neuron with each human action or behavior. Here there is a reductionism of human beings to electrochemical phenomena in the brain. The second view perceives the nervous system with a much more holistic dimension. The objective, in that case, would not be to ask “why” first but to ask “how.” Both views are not mutually exclusive.
Steer into the Storm. Dynamic Psychotherapy for Preaching in Anxious Times
Authors: Clarke Joseph H. , Csinos David M.
Published: November 2022

Global catastrophes such as the COVID-19 crisis raise individual and collective anxiety among faith communities. Fears about the well-being of loved ones, grief over the hiatus of corporate worship services, and uncertainty about the sustainability of local churches loom large. A significant challenge surrounding preaching during a pandemic is the need to speak a word to and for this anxiety. But psychotherapists know an important thing about anxiety: it contains no information. It is no more than “a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal,” to use St Paul’s words. To reassure it away from the pulpit is tantamount to colluding with it. What if instead of attempting to soothe away anxiety in troubling times like these, the preacher and the congregation collide head-on with the feeling that resides on the other side of the anxiety? What comes into view then? This paper will bring the central tenets of dynamic psychotherapy to bear on the task of preaching amidst global catastrophe. By relying on how therapists move past anxiety to directly address the deep feelings of patients, we raise ideas for preaching sermons that go past anxiety, fear, and helplessness and steer into the storm of emotions stirring among the faith community.
“What is Love …?”: A Study of Thematic Constructions in 11.955 Danish Sermons
Authors: Agersnap Anne , Nielbo Kristoffer L.
Published: November 2022

Writing sermons in the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Denmark (ELCD) is a shared practice, which means that pastors collectively produce a comprehensive text material, when they prepare their weekly sermons. This article studies a corpus of 11,955 ELCD sermons as a collective text production, as we investigate the role of theological discourses in emergent thematic fields in the corpus. With the aid of computational tools from the field of digital humanities, we investigate the following question: How can we map and interpret theological discourses in the collective production of sermons from the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Denmark (ELCD)? Based on three complementary case studies, we explore the overall thematic framework of the corpus, the construction of specific theological concepts (love and sin) and the relationship between thematic constructions in the corpus and thematic content in the liturgical texts that pastors expound in sermons.
Reading/Writing Canada: a Facebook Wall about Canadian Literature
Authors: Martínez-Zalce Graciela
Published: November 2022

The CBC operates on a mandate that defines it as a company of content whose vision is to connect Canadians through attractive Canadian content and whose values include serving the Canadian public. This article responds to the questions of how the CBC uses social media to disseminate national literatures, taking a Facebook wall Canada Reads, as a case study, based on the small stories method (Georgakoupoulou) to analyze narrative activities that are important for recognizing the identity-forging work of their narrator as well as the social fabric of practices that people become involved in, with the objective of discovering if it has created a virtual community of practice (as conceived by Robert V. Kozinets) and if it has achieved, at the same time, the ultimate goal of discussing contemporary Canadian identities and if it has fulfilled its aim to disseminated contemporary regional and national quality content.
situación de double bind en el debate entre Laclau y Agamben. Hacia un pensamiento ch’ixi de la política
Authors: Osvaldo Prósperi Germán
Published: November 2022

El artículo tiene como objetivo presentar dos de las corrientes más importantes de la filosofía política contemporánea, que cuando se las considera en conjunto, conducen a una situación de double bind (Gregory Bateson). Para demostrar esto, considera dos posiciones políticas diferentes y, en cierto sentido, contrapuestas: la de Giorgio Agamben y la de Ernesto Laclau; y para resolver la aparente contradicción entre ambas posiciones reconoce que las tesis de cada filósofo pertenecen a órdenes lógicos diferentes: ontológico (Agamben) y óntico (Laclau).

Published: November 2022

Dada la exigencia en la disciplina dancística sobre los requerimientos corporales del bailarín, se han llevado a cabo diversos estudios sobre trastornos alimentarios (TA), sin embargo, son escasos los datos en bailarines de danza folklórica. Por tal motivo, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue conocer la composición corporal, imagen corporal, sintomatología y presencia de anorexia nerviosa en bailarines de danza folklórica profesionales (n = 37), recreativos (n = 37) y en muestra comunitaria (n = 37). El estudio se llevó a cabo en dos fases, en la primera se aplicaron los instrumentos EAT-26 y BSQ, además, se calculó el porcentaje de grasa corporal (PGC), el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y la masa muscular esquelética (MME). En la segunda fase se entrevistaron a aquellos que rebasaron punto de corte del EAT-26 y/o BSQ así como a un grupo control de la misma muestra que no haya rebasado ningún punto de corte para descartar falsos negativos.  Solo se encontraron diferencias entre grupos en IMC y en PGC. De acuerdo con las entrevistas, ningún participante fue diagnosticado con anorexia nerviosa pero sí con sintomatología de TA. Se concluye que los estándares corporales exigidos en danza folklórica, son lo suficientemente altos como para que los bailarines realicen conductas de riesgo que podrían comprometer su salud física y psicológica.

Abstract: In this never-ending quest for finding an alternative or a solution to the current problems related to increasing energy demands and climate change, various research, progress and development have been made in the subject of environmentally friendly energy systems. On one aspect the conversion of water into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas by using electro-chemical process is an ideal method which can produce a clean and green fuel via: Sustainable methods and fossil free path ways. Hydrogen production by means of using various renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy and hydro energy is a way to eliminate dependency of three systems on the electric grid. In this study which is based on a technique in which a fuel cell (ox-hydrogen electrolyzer) is connected to a Photovoltaic solar panel to produce clean hydrogen and oxygen gas as a fuel. The objective of this project was to develop a strategy and make this generation process independent of other energy sources. A DC converter is used in such a sequence which can control and supply maximum power to the electrolytic cell which is connected to the solar Photovoltaic panel, which in turn we can obtain maximum hydrogen gas. Also, various catalysts which are most commonly found or easily available in the market are experimented in this research to get optimum output. The converter and voltage regulator is also responsible for operating the electrolytic cell in its optimum functioning region to avoid over heating of the cell. The DC converter and the Electrolytic cell has been tested and simulated within indoor and outdoor conditions. Analysis of this setup based on maximum power tracking showed 85% efficiency
Human Health Risk Assessment for Nitrate intake in Lucknow, India
Authors: Yadav Shashi Kant
Published: November 2022

Abstract: It is important to apply the methods to set the standard for drinking water quality and to conduct risk assessments since access to potable water resources exposes people to a variety of chemical pollutants, including nitrate. Drinking water with high nitrate levels can be harmful to health, especially for infants and pregnant women. The main objective of the present study was to determine the distribution levels of nitrate contamination in groundwater and its associated impact on human health risks in Lucknow India. For this 32 groundwater samples were collected randomly during April 2022. Nitrate concentration in groundwater samples ranged from 7 to 108 mg/L, with a mean value of 41.35 mg/L. The geographic information system (ArcGIS 10.7.1) was applied to mapping the nitrate concentration in groundwater resources of the studied area. About 43.75% of the groundwater samples are exceeding the permissible limits of nitrate (45 mg/l). Hence health risk assessment of nitrate has been carried out. Hazard quotient (HQ) values for male, female, children, and infants ranges from 0.14 to 2.07; 0.16 to 2.45; 0.17 to 2.63, and 0.16 to 2.53, respectively. The finding of data showed that HQ value was more than 1 in 53..125% of samples in groups of infants and children, 50% of samples for female, and 43.75% of samples in group of male.

Therefore, this research aims to understand the psychological and social impacts resulting from work on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19. Five professionals from different areas working during the pandemic were interviewed. The results were analyzed by their contents and discussed in four thematic categories, namely: Emotional impacts of work on the frontlinein the fight against COVID-19; Social impacts on healthcare workers resulting from the pandemic; Self-care strategies developed by the healthcare workers; and Working conditions in the hospital environment in the context of a pandemic. The main results, there were feelings of anguish, sadness, exhaustion, and anxiety; separation from important relationships, including friends and family; as self-care strategies, they ranged from meditation to regular physical exercise; about the professionals' daily work, the precariousness of equipment, and complications with the methodology and workspace emerged as recurrent themes. Given the results, it was evident that the urgency of health actions, the severity of the pandemic, and the need to care for a high number of patients generated working conditions that often took the professionals to the limits of their capabilities. New studies are needed to continue evaluating the impacts of this environment and possible consequences in the medium and long term.

Predictions indicate that the Brazilian population will be predominantly elderly in the future and will live longer. However, evidence from the personality field suggests that people become more dogmatic, less sociable, less curious, and less outgoing as they age, making it difficult for them to live a long and quality life. This article summarizes evidence on the relatonship between personality and sucessful aging, examines current discussions regarding interventions aimed at personality changes, and presents an intervention proposal focused on healthy aging. In addition to naturalistic changes in personality, it is possible to promote long-term changes in functioning patterns by adjusting the present functioning through psychotherapy and other interventions. Personality-based interventions can foster the development of aspects of healthy aging. These evidences highlight the potential of the Big Five Factor model as a framework for thinking about interventions aimed at changes in personality.

Published: November 2022

This article presents perspectives of the psychological practice developed in hospitals from the conception of hospital as a stage of life itself, that is, a territory in which life presents itself with all the assisted subjects's cultural, social, economic and political complexity of their reality. As well as such aspects intersect and constitute these social subjects and impact on their life’s experience and suffering. This leads to a need for professional training for working in a hospital context in order to be in tune with what reality demands. The research was carried out with health psychologists linked to a large general hospital and aimed to analyze the psychological clinical practice, comparing the (in)visibility of social markers, considering its effects on the psychic suffering of the subjects treated. This is an exploratory research of a qualitative nature, with narrative interview as data production strategy and psychoanalysis the critical lens for the construction of the analytical itinerary. It was observed various demands that do emerge in the hospital environment put in evidence experiences of race, class, gender and sexuality, even if they are little explored and articulated with each other. Also, it was discussed the importance of recognizing the social position occupied by psychologists and the requirement for constant review of professional practice. Finally, this analysis calls for reflection on who the people assisted are, considering intersectional articulation as a challenge that Psychology needs to embody for its job, highlighting the responsibility and ethical implication in the face of professional practice.

In this work, the concept of mutually unbiased frames is introduced as the most general notion of unbiasedness for sets composed by linearly independent and normalized vectors. It encompasses the already existing notions of unbiasedness for orthonormal bases, regular simplices, equiangular tight frames, positive operator valued measure, and also includes symmetric informationally complete quantum measurements. After introducing the tool, its power is shown by finding the following results about the last mentioned class of constellations: (i) real fiducial states do not exist in any even dimension, and (ii) unknown d-dimensional fiducial states are parameterized, a priori, with roughly 3d/2 real variables only, without loss of generality. Furthermore, multi-parametric families of pure quantum states having minimum uncertainty with regard to several choices of d+1 orthonormal bases are shown, in every dimension d. These last families contain all existing fiducial states in every finite dimension, and the bases include maximal sets of d+1 mutually unbiased bases, when d is a prime number.
Management of Glaucoma Medication Induced Dry Eye Disease with Self-retained Cryopreserved Amniotic Membrane
Authors: Vendal Zarmeena
Published: November 2022

BackgroundApproximately half of glaucoma patients have dry eye disease (DED) due to anti-glaucoma medication use. Herein, we evaluated the effectiveness of self-retained cryopreserved amniotic membrane (AM) in managing glaucoma-induced DED.

MethodsA retrospective chart review was conducted on consecutive patients treated with self-retained cryopreserved AM (Prokera Slim, BioTissue, Miami, FL) for ocular surface disease induced by chronic use of glaucoma medication. Data collected included demographics, diagnosis, associated signs and symptoms, concomitant therapies, and benefit duration.

ResultsEight eyes of eight female patients (aged 80.0 ± 3.9 years) developed DED from chronic use (8.4 ± 2.3 years) of glaucoma medication. DED was refractory despite use of conventional therapies, including topical cyclosporine (n=7), gels (n=5), artificial tears (n=5), and lifitegrast (n=2). However, after treatment with self-retained cryopreserved AM, SPK grade significantly improved from 3.25 ± 0.7 to 0.38 ± 0.5 (p=0.01). Furthermore, visual acuity (VA) improved in all patients by an average of 1.4 ± 0.5 lines (range: 1-2), with a significant improvement in LogMAR VA observed post-treatment (logMAR .28 to .16, p=0.01). This was accompanied by decreased pain (n=5), decreased foreign body sensation (n=5), and improved comfort (n=2) that lasted an average duration of 5.3 ± 1.0 months.

ConclusionThis retrospective study suggests that a single placement of self-retained cryopreserved AM can restore corneal surface health with a lasting benefit in patients with glaucoma-induced DED who are refractory to conventional therapy directly or indirectly by promoting blinking and tearing reflexes.

At present, acute pancreatitis only in some areas is a rather well-studied disease of the abdominal organs, however, the destructive forms of this disease have various developmental patterns, complications and, often unfavorable outcomes. The aim of the research is to establish the possibilities to correct the disorders in the functional and structural features of erythrocytes by 3-hydroxypyridine derivatives in experimental acute destructive pancreatitis due to chronic ethanol intoxication. In experimental acute destructive pancreatitis due to a 60-day ethanol intoxication there was a decrease in the content of proteins (a - ? ß -spectrin, ankyrin, anion transport protein, actin, gyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutation-S transferase) and lipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, glycerophospholipids, sphingomyelin, phospholipids, triacylglycerol, sum of mono- and diacylglycerol), an elevated level of band 4.1 and 4.5 proteins, pallidin, dematin, tropomyosin and lipids (lysophosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, it’s esters, non-esterified fatty acids), a disorder in intrinsic cellular metabolism of erythrocytes (an increased concentration of lipid peroxidation products, a decreased activity of catalase, superoxide dismutase, degree of stable metabolites of nitrogen oxide and sorption indicators of membrane) in the erythrocyte membrane. The study has revealed that the greatest efficiency in correction of disorders in the functional and structural feutures of erythrocytes from among the derivatives of 3-hydroxypyridine has a compound ß - hydroxynicotinoylhydrazon 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-formyl-5-oxymethylpyrydine dihydrochloride, and the least one - 2-ethyl-6- methyl-3-hydroxypyrydine malate (etoxydol), the administration of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyrydine succinate (mexidol) has shown an intermediate result.

The traditional optimal allocation of water resources cannot reflect the
specific water distribution of a water consumption unit. To resolve the
issue, an improved model for the optimal allocation of water resources
was developed in combination with the existing gridding concept and
remote sensing technologies to minimize water scarcity and maximize
economic benefit. This model incorporates the water supply scopes and
water users of the water sources in a region in the form of cells, using
multiple water resources, objectives, and users in the region as the
base points. Further, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm
was employed to solve this model. The results reveal as follows: First,
the northeast, west, and southeast areas of Guantao County have the
lowest water demands, while the east lower-middle half has the greatest.
Second, it is estimated that in the years of the plan (P = 50%), the
county’s total water demand will be 118,871,900 m ,
which can be met by the total available water supply (125,281,800 m
); the economic benefit will reach 4,086,500 Yuan in
the target year of the plan. Third, the region refined water resources
optimizing the allocation is favorable to lowering groundwater
exploitation, coping with the water resources deficit, and promoting the
rational allocation and management of water resources.
