Authors: Alhazmi Waleed Abdulaziz
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a well-known co-morbid manifestation of inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic condition that causes a significant amount of disease burden in the population. However, studies on ETD in patients with AR are still very limited. Materials and methods: A total of 60 healthy and 60 AR patients participated in the prospective comparative study. All of the subjects were subjected to a skin prick test. According to ARIA criteria, the severity of AR was classified as "mild" or "moderate-severe" and "persistent" or "intermittent." Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) subjective scores were obtained for both groups. For objective examinations, nasal cytology, Tympanometry, and Tubomanometry were used, and the data were statistically analyzed. Results: The mean eosinophil and neutrophil counts in nasal smears demonstrated a significant difference between the two groups. In the AR and control groups, the overall ETDQ-7 score was 21.6 and 9.7 respectively (p<0.001). Tympanometry reports that ETD was significantly higher in the AR group (83.3%) than in the control group (p<0.001). TMM also established that 84.2% of AR subjects had ETD, which was statistically significant.

Published: September 2022

When water is scarce, it is highly important to provide plants with water at critical stages to improve yield with high water use efficiency (WUE). Transpiration reduction is an effective and necessary procedure for conserving irrigation water while ensuring plant survival and protecting foliage from drought damage, and thus increasing water productivity. Foliar application of growth stimulators is one of the most important ways for lowering transpiration rates and reducing the negative effects of drought stress. The effects of foliar potassium silicate application as a growth stimulator, as well as water-sprayed plants, on growth, some physiological parameters, yield components, and water use efficiency of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar "Elisa" grown during summer season under three irrigation levels (100, 75 or 50% ETc, of the estimated crop evapotranspiration) were investigated. The field experiment was conducted during 2019 and 2020 seasons at the Experimental Farm of Vegetable Crops Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Cairo. Giza Governorate, Egypt.

Introduction: Thoracic epidural anaesthesia (TEA) has been the standard of care for postoperative pain management for patients undergoing  abdomino-thoracic esophagectomy. The study aims to observe whether addition of lumbar intrathecal morphine along with TEA reduces the post operative pain scores, post operative opioid consumption and total epidural drug requirement.  Materials and methods:50 patients divided into two groups, one group was given standard TEA at level T5-T7, other group was receiving intrathecal morphine along with TEA. General anaesthesia will be provided as per standard protocol and one lung isolation will be achieved using Robertsons  double lumen tube of proper size. Pain scores will be monitored using Numerical rating Scale. Total requirement of epidural drug in both the groups , requirement of rescue analgesia, complications in both the groups will be observed. Results and observations: In our study we found that VAS score were better in the combined intrathecal morphine plus thoracic intrathecal morphine plus thoracic epidural approach group and there were less need of rescue analgesia and good recovery compared to conventional thoracic epidural approach. Haemodynamic parameters and complications were almost comparable in both the groups except for heart rate.
The particle size effect of Halexylon Salicornicum on thermal conductivity and dielectric constant of polyester resins- Halexylon Salicornicum composites
Authors: Al-Noamany Abbas Hadi Abbas
Published: September 2022

Iraq is home to the Halexylon Salicornicum plant (HS). This study modifies thermal conductivity and dielectric constant of unsaturated polyester resin using HS as filler (UPE). Different HS filler particle sizes, including 6.5 mm (raw HS), 1.18mm, 250 m, 125 m, 75 m, and 50 m, are used to create HS- UPE composites. HS filler loading levels (1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 25) (wt percent). All HS- UPE composites' thermal conductivity and dielectric constant are investigated. Study is done on how changes in frequency (from 500 Hz to 1 MHz) affect the dielectric constant of all composites. The thermal conductivity of HS- UPE composites falls as the concentration of HS filler increases and particle size reduces; it is at its lowest level at 25% weight. At 50 m particle size, the impact of particle size on heat conductivity of composites is clearly visible. When HS filler concentration rises and particle size falls, the dielectric constant of HS- UPE composites increases; it reaches its maximum value at 25% wt and 50m RH particle. On 50 m RH-RTV silicone composites, frequency variation has little impact.

O poder é uma lagosta
Authors: Viana Igor Campos
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo-experimento é uma aposta na compreensão do poder em sua performatividade. Para além das posições de um constitucionalismo clássico que aprisionam o constituinte no constituído ou das posições ditas radicais que decretam a morte do constituído em favor de um constituinte permanente, afirmamos que não existe um poder constituinte, nem um poder constituído. O que existe é o poder. E esse poder só pode ser compreendido em operação. É na relação que as coisas se mostram. E nessa relação o poder se mostra sempre como constituinte e constituído a um só tempo. É justamente nessa dupla articulação que ele se revela. A relação não é meramente de causa e consequência, mas de constituição simultânea. Não há uma anterioridade no tempo e no espaço de uma dimensão sobre a outra. O que existe é um processo de sobredeterminação sem início ou fim.
Teoria da literatura e o comum
Authors: Fernandes de Miranda Gabriel
Published: September 2022

O presente texto pretende tecer laços entre a literatura e o pensamento contemporâneo do comum por meio da discussão acerca das noções auxiliares de instituição, poder instituinte, poder constituinte e potência destituinte. Objetiva-se analisar as contribuições do pensamento em torno da literatura para o campo da teoria política e vice-versa. Mediante uma revisão bibliográfica e mediante a produção de conexões entre distintos teóricos de ambas as áreas, esse ensaio abre a possibilidade de uma composição entre gesto destituinte e práxis instituinte, expressões aparentemente incompatíveis e em embate entre Giorgio Agamben e Pierre Dardot e Christian Laval. O ponto de chegada é a observação, na literatura e nas artes, de um modo de funcionamento do poder que poderíamos chamar de “destituição imaginária”, para utilizar uma expressão de Cornelius Castoriadis.
outro devir-negro do mundo
Authors: Duarte Corrêa Murilo , Graf Paloma Machado
Published: September 2022

Prolongando um conceito de Achille Mbembe, este ensaio propõe a noção de “um outro devir-negro do mundo” como categoria capaz de tornar pensáveis as relações entre raça e capital na dimensão das lutas. Cruzando pesquisa bibliográfica e análise de conjuntura, as relações entre raça e capital são tematizadas, por um lado, como funcionamentos de poder que estruturam novos deslizamentos generalizantes da sujeição e hierarquização racial/social no contexto do capitalismo neoliberal; por outro, a partir da análise da emergência de um conjunto global de lutas involucradas nos protestos do Black Lives Matter. Este “outro devir-negro do mundo” excede as funções meramente críticas ou diagnósticas dos poderes em curso que estão presentes na categoria de “devir-negro do mundo” e, englobando-os, revela os pontos de contato em que as lutas antirracistas e anticapitalistas se cruzam transversalmente no contexto do neoliberalismo.

propriedade é um dispositivo?
Authors: Gomes Ana Suelen Tossige
Published: September 2022

A partir da análise de discursos político-jurídicos paradigmáticos, que permearam a consolidação da propriedade moderna, compreendida aqui como noção e como instituto, pretende-se verificar se é correta a interpretação de que a propriedade se instituiu como um dispositivo. Para tanto, quatro características da forma de operar do dispositivo – tal como teorizado por Heidegger, Foucault e Agamben – foram selecionadas como guia para a análise: 1) resposta a um objetivo estratégico ou à produção de um resultado útil; 2) divisão bipolar da realidade; 3) imposição de certo direcionamento sobre o real; e, 4) captura do sujeito como parte ou “peça” do processo. Do trabalho foi possível constatar que tais características se encontram presentes em pontos nodais de emergência da propriedade moderna, respondendo positivamente à pergunta presente no título deste artigo.

Authors: Chand Krishan , Mishra V.
Published: September 2022

The effect of cutting heights viz., 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 m was investigated on biomass productivity and physiological attributes of four fodder trees species i.e. Morus alba, Grewia optiva, Celtis australis and Bauhinia variegata. Morus alba accumulated maximum leaf+branch biomass followed by Grewia optiva, Celtis australis and Bauhinia variegata, respectively. The productivity of leaf, branch and their total improved with increase cutting height up to 2.0 m under all species. The photosynthesis rate and photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) showed non-significant effect due to cutting height and significant effect due to species as well as species x cutting height interaction. Transpiration rate manifested significant variation due to species, cutting height and their interaction and tended to depress with increasing cutting height. Simple correlation matrix revealed a significant positive relation between photosynthesis rate and PAR; photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate and PAR and Transpiration rate, respectively.
Reactive Oxygen Species in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Authors: Shabbir Ayisha
Published: September 2022

Progressive brain cell death and neuronal loss, which impede motor or cognitive function, are hallmarks of neurodegenerative disorders which includes Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease. These conditions are a major source of health issues, particularly for the ageing population. Chemically reactive molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been linked to the aetiology of neurodegenerative disorders. They serve crucial roles in mediating cellular functions like inflammation, cell survival, and stressor responses as well as numerous diseases like cardiovascular conditions, muscular dysfunction, allergies, and malignancies.
ROS are known to be formed spontaneously inside the biological system. High ROS concentrations can cause oxidative stress (OS), which is the breakdown of the equilibrium between pro-oxidant and antioxidant levels, and cell death because of their reactivity. Despite the fact that high levels of OS are frequently found in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative illnesses, accumulating evidence suggests that ROS may play a vital role in the complicated pathogeneses of the neurodegenerative diseases. Although oxidative stress and interactions with mitochondria may not be the cause of neurodegenerative illnesses, they are likely to accelerate disease development.
Given the crucial roles OS plays in neurodegenerative illnesses, controlling ROS levels may be a promising therapeutic approach to delay neurodegeneration and relieve its symptoms. Numerous substances with antioxidant qualities, such as glutathione (GSH), vitamin C, vitamin E, and coenzyme Q10, have been investigated in this regard for their ability to lessen neurodegenerative symptoms; nevertheless, the results are conflicting. The molecular aetiology of neurodegeneration is not fully understood at this time. To find new and dependable treatments, further research that examines the effects of ROS in diverse neurodegenerative illnesses may be essential.

Mashtots, on papers 187 ‘’a’’-187 ‘’b’’ of the manuscript No.1002 - in the Matenadaran of Vienna Mekhitarist Congregation, as well as on papers 378 ‘’a’’-378 ‘’b’’ of the manuscript No. 1250 in the Mekhitarist Congregation in Venice. The song in the Mashtots and Venice manuscripts is kept next to the songs by Tlkurantsi- entitled ‘’Lament of New Hovhannes’’, which itself states the fact that the author of the song is Tlkurantsi, though in the end of it his name is mentioned not clearly- as ‘’Hovhannes full of sins’’, whereas in the manuscript of the Mekhitarist Matenadaran the song ends as ‘’Khev Hovhannes Tlkurantsi’’, a fact which proves the copyright of the author. This lament song is typical of sensible-instructional spirit of Tlkurantsi’s songs. It is the echo of the spirit of the Middle Ages pious man- a supplication of hope and salvation to God, in which one may feel the impact of Narekatsi.
INTERFAITH OUTREACH OF THE MUSLIM WORLD LEAGUE: TRENDS, CAUSES, AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Authors:   Effat University (Saudi Arabia), Khalid Husain Mohammad
Published: September 2022

The Muslim World League is a nominally non-governmental Islamic organisation based in Saudi Arabia. From its founding in 1962 until relatively recently, it mainly focused on promulgating the archetypal Islamic fundamentals and practices across the Muslim world in line with the vision of the Saudi state. An early indicator that this mission was giving way to a more dynamic and, relatively, liberal position was an interfaith initiative by the league in 2008 that resulted in the Makkah Appeal; a landmark document that advocated, and set appropriate terms for, Islamic initiatives in interfaith dialogue. The league’s new interfaith programme was then introduced to the world ten days later when it convened the Madrid Conference, bringing together prominent figures from all major faith traditions. But it was not until 2016 / 2017 with the coming to office of its present secretary-general, Dr. Al-Issa, and the Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, that the league radically expanded and diversified its interfaith dialogue initiatives. This article examines a mixed sample of these initiatives to give a sense of how the league’s interfaith programme has evolved in recent years. It then gives an analysis of the factors likely to be driving these changes, the aims they seem oriented to achieve, and what directions they might take in future. Special attention is paid to the league’s function and significance within the larger discourse of Saudi international relations and diplomatic interests on the world stage.
THE ISLAMIC FIQH COUNCIL OF THE MUSLIM WORLD LEAGUE

Published: September 2022

The Islamic Fiqh Council is considered to be one of the most important organs of the Muslim World League (MWL), and it serves as the legal body that directs the League’s work in general, especially in religious and jurisprudential issues. It also serves as the Saudi version of the specialized fiqh councils distributed in most countries of the Muslim world. The Council's work extends to many fields including issuing decrees and publishing dictionaries and academic works. In this paper, the researcher tries to introduce the Islamic Fiqh Council, its history, its organs, the tasks it manages and the most important issues it discusses, as well as the general religious line it follows. The researcher has relied almost entirely on the Council's publications and periodicals due to the lack of studies devoted to studying the Council.

" The invasive species Coptodisca lucifluella, also called the walnut shield bearer is recorded for the first time in Romania in this report. It is a leaf miner of North American origin, having been discovered for the first time in Europe (Italy) in 2010. Since then it has been confirmed in other three European countries, Hungary (2017), Ukraine (2019) and Bulgaria (2020), and now in Romania. In its native habitats, the species is known to be specialized on woody plants from the family Juglandaceae, genus Carya, in particular the pecan nut tree, Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch. In the newly occupied territories in Europe, the moth was reported mainly on Juglans spp., especially J. regia (L.) (with very few instances on Juglans nigra (L.), Carya spp. and Pterocarya spp.). In August 2022, leaves of common walnut (J. regia) with mines of C. lucifluella were collected in Southern Romania (Bucharest, Ilfov and Giurgiu Counties) and Western Romania (Arad County). The walnuts were in cities, rural areas, alongside roads and walnuts spontaneously grown in vineyards, at altitudes from 60 to 200 m a.s.l."

Purworejo Village is one of 17 villages in Suruh Subdistrict, Semarang Regency, located between Salatiga City and Boyolali Regency, with an area of ​​169.52 ha consisting of 101.14 ha of paddy fields, 9.70 ha of dry land and 58.68 ha of non-agricultural land. Agricultural problems faced include: land ownership area of ​​about 0.32 ha/family; the use of chemical/inorganic fertilizers is very high so that agricultural land becomes increasingly “sick”; high use of chemical insecticides; the threat of rat pests; farmers' knowledge is still very limited; and the involvement of farmers in farmer group activities is still very limited. On the other hand, the knowledge of farmer group administrators is also still lacking; and the type of rice produced is of medium quality so that the price is relatively cheap in the market. Due to low productivity, most of the rice yields are still used to meet family needs. Farmers have not been able and do not dare to grow organic rice with premium quality which actually has a higher price in the market. Solutions to agricultural problems are implemented through the Community Partnership Program by Increasing Empowerment and Income of Dompon Farmer Groups through Premium Organic Rice Planting and Owl Breeding (Tyto Alba). Through this PKM activity, there has been a change in the behavior of farmers in the Dompon farmer group to start planting organic crops and breeding owls so that rat pests can be avoided. Members of the Dompon Farmer Group can: 1) learn and apply environmentally friendly integrated agricultural technologies; 2) productivity and production of paddy fields increased; 3) produce premium quality organic rice products; and 4) eradicating rats in a more environmentally friendly way using owls (Tyto alba), which are natural enemies of rats.
