Authors: Hasan In’amul
Published: June 2022

al-Ghazali as the author of the Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn has an interesting life journey background. He had been an ahlu al-ra'yi (philosopher) then turned into a Sufi in his old age. This change is indicated by several his books (kitab). One of them is Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn. This literature later became popular in the Nusantara. Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn is also used as the main reference for a Muslim's life guide. However, behind the popularity of this book, many hadith scholars (muhadditsîn) gave controversial comments on the hadis that contained in this book. Although there are many critical comments, the popularity of Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn has not been forgotten in Nusantara, and it still exists today. This was seen during the Musabaqah Qiraah al-Kutub (MQK). At the event, this book was used as one of the books contested for the branch of morality. This article discusses the reasons or causes for this book to still exist, especially in Nusantara. The research was conducted with a historical approach. Then the history of the arrival of Islam to Nusantara will be explored, which is accompanied by Sufi and muhadditsîn interpretations of the hadis that contained in this book. So this article will show the popularization of Ihyâ 'Ulûm al-Dîn in Nusantara.Imam al-Ghazali sebagai pengarang kitab Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn memiliki latar belakang yang menarik. Ia pernah menjadi ahlu al-ra’yi  (filsuf) kemudian beralih menjadi seorang sufi pada masa tuanya. Perubahan tersebut ditunjukan oleh beberapa karangannya (kitab). Salah satunya adalah Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn ini. Literatur inilah di kemudian hari menjadi populer di Nusantara. Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn juga dijadikan sebagai rujukan utama panduan hidup seorang muslim.  Namun, dibalik kepopuleran kitab ini, banyak ulama hadis (muhadditsîn) memberikan komentar yang kontroversial terhadap hadis-hadis yang dimuat dalam kitab ini. Walaupun komentar miring tersebut banyak, kepopuleran kitab Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn tidak lusuh di Nusantara, bahkan bisa bertahan hingga saat ini. Hal itu terlihat pada saat Musabaqah Qiraah al-Kutub (MQK). Pada event tersebut, kitab ini dijadikan sebagai salah satu kitab yang dilombakan pada cabang akhlak. Artikel ini membahas alasan atau penyebab kitab ini tetap eksis, terutama di Nusantara. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan historis. Maka sejarah masuknya Islam ke Nusantara akan digali, yang diiringi dengan interpretasi sufi dan muhadditsîn terhadap hadis-hadis yang ada dalam kitab ini. Sehingga artikel ini akan menunjukan popularisasi Ihyâ ‘Ulûm al-Dîn di Nusantara

Published: June 2022

Water is a scarce resource in this millennium, especially clean water. Reverse osmosis (RO) technology is widely applied to achieve this goal. But, reverse osmosis waste water (ROWW) cannot be further utilized, due to the presence of a high concentration of salts, heavy metals, and pollutants of feed water. The solution to this problem may lie in employing plants for this very purpose that is phytoremediation. Phytoremediation converts this waste water into usable water with the help of plants. This is an eco-friendly technique that decontaminates the waste water in a very economical way. This mini-review thus, emphasizes on quality improvement of RO waste water through plant-based techniques with a special focus on recent studies carried out in this area. Keywords: Phytodegradation, Phytoextraction, Phytoremediation, Phytovolatilization, Reverse osmosis (RO), Reverse osmosis waste water (ROWW), Rhizodegradation.
Legendary Old Conifer Trees in Western Himalaya: Environmental Chronicles
Authors: Yadav R Ram , Singh Vikram
Published: June 2022

The Himalayan mountain system is the abode of diverse tree species growing at different elevations from sub-tropical to sub-alpine regions. Many of the tree species growing in the Himalayan region are known to attain several centuries to millennial age. Trees growing in environments with seasonal climate produce annual growth rings, which represent yearly increment in radial growth. The physical and chemical properties of annual wood increments (ring-widths, wood density and isotopic composition) reflect the respective year’s environmental conditions that affected tree growth and physiology. Various parameters of the annual wood increments are used to glean the yearly environmental variations. This makes the trees a unique natural archive of past environmental changes the tree faced over its life time. Tree-ring studies, so far carried out in India have shown over two millennia old trees of Juniperus polycarpos in cold arid Lahaul in the western Himalaya. Other conifer trees spanning over millennium age are of Pinus gerardiana and Cedrus deodara growing in extreme dry environments in the western Himalaya. As in the era of changing global climate the mean temperature of the Earth is continuously increasing and disturbing the regular pattern of climate variables. In the recent decades, the observed changes of climate variables are becoming the cause of societal challenges and responsible for the loss of lives and natural resources. In view of this, the precisely dated growth ring sequences in such old trees have been used to develop climate records (temperature/precipitation) for regions of the origin of tree-ring chronologies. The tree-ring derived climate records from the high-altitude regions of the Himalaya, where instrumental records are limited, are of significant value to understand natural climate variability and associated socioeconomicchallenges in regional and global perspective.

Published: June 2022

The present investigation was undertaken using six generations viz., P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 derived from two crosses namely GDVC-2 x LC-1 and GC-6 x LC-1. The material was evaluated in a Randomized Block Design with two replications. The characters studied were days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, pod length (cm), 100 seed weight (gm), harvest index (%), seed yield per plant (gm). Moderate to high narrow sense heritability and broad sense heritability coupled with high genetic advance were observed in both the crosses for seed yield per plant, harvest index, number of pods per plant and plant height indicating that, heritability was due to additive gene effects and selection in early generation may be effective.
Hazardous Impact of Nickel in Alteration of Antioxidative Mechanism and Inhibition of Growth and Biomass Yield in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: Shukla Rajni
Published: June 2022

Many anthropogenic activities (smelters, mines and municipal waste) enhance the heavy metal toxicity in soil and water and it is gradually accumulated in plants, and finally through food chain it reaches to human beings. To investigate hazardous impact of excess nickel on growth, biomass, yield and metabolism of rice (Oryza sativa L) the plants were grown in refined sand at 0.0001mM (control), 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40, and 0.50 mM nickel (Ni) supply. After 16 days of treatment the excess supply of Ni(>0.50mM) reduced biomass, photosynthetic pigments (both chlorophyll a and b), Hill reaction activity, water soluble proteins, activity of catalase (CAT), and enhanced the activity of peroxidase (POX), ribonuclease and acid phosphatase in rice leaves. The antioxidative regulation was inhibited through CAT, although increased activity of POX supported the plants in overcoming the toxic effect of nickel. At 112 days (70 days after Ni treatment) the accumulation of iron in shoot and root was reduced. Phosphorus was significantly increased in both shoot and root. Sulphur accumulation was increased in panicle, leaves, shoot and root. Nickel accumulation in different plant parts was increased many fold (as in leaves it was increased about 25 times, in stem 18 times and in roots it was 17 times) in 0.50 mM Ni supply in comparision to control. Rice appeared very prone to nickel toxicity as Ni supply beyond 0.050 mM resulted into complete loss of economic yield due to inhibited flowering and poor panicle numbers.

El presente artículo de reflexión tiene como propósito resaltar la vigencia e importancia de la literatura tradicional en la creación de los diversos mundos imaginarios que ofrece la literatura juvenil contemporánea. Para ello, se analizan algunos de los tópicos y motivos de la literatura tradicional que se entretejen en la historia de Harry Potter, específicamente, la atención se focaliza en hacer una revisión comparativa exhaustiva de la aparición de la fatalidad de la muerte y la figura de “el innombrable” en relatos tradicionales recopilados por Wilhelm y Jacob Grimm, y publicados en la primera edición de Kinder- und Hausmärchen. Al relacionar las historias de los hermanos Grimm con algunos relatos intradiegéticos de la saga de Harry Potter, se evidencia la manera en cómo se adaptan algunos relatos que parten de lo mitológico y se actualizan a un universo mágico contemporáneo.
Mesetas, multiplicidades e interconexiones en Estrella Distante: entre la complejidad y lo rizomático
Authors: Guarín Daniel
Published: June 2022

Este artículo analiza la estructura narrativa de la novela Estrella distante, de Roberto Bolaño, desde la teoría de la complejidad y desde el concepto filosófico del Rizoma. Las historias de la novela se entienden como mesetas que se conectan a manera de rizomas o que interactúan en un sistema complejo para dar sentido a la obra. El artículo inicia con una síntesis de la historia, luego relaciona los conceptos de complejidad y rizoma, y finalmente presentan las mesetas y las interconexiones creadas por Bolaño en la novela. Se concluye que Estrella distante se puede leer de forma lineal, siguiendo el rastro del antagonista; o de manera rizomática, sin principio ni final, sino con una variedad de mesetas, intertextualidades e historias que se conectan ligeramente. Wieder se convierte en un punto sin final, y al igual que la novela, en un rizoma en el universo de la obra de Bolaño.

Amaç: Meme kanseri, dünya genelinde kadınlarda en yaygın gözlenen malignansidir. Bu nedenle mevcut tedavilerin eksiklerini giderebilecek yeni stratejilerin tanımlanmasına ihtiyaç vardır. Çalışmamızda meme kanseri hücrelerinin hedeflenmesinde kullanılabilecek yeni bitkisel kombinasyon terapileri tanımlamayı hedefledik. Bu amaçla, Centaurea calolepis (CCİ), Origanum sipyleum (OSM) ve Phlomis lycia (PLİ) bitki ekstrelerinin ponatinib ile kombinasyonlarının MCF-7 hücreleri üzerindeki sitotoksik, apoptotik, anti-proliferatif ve hücre döngüsü üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: MCF-7 hücrelerinde OSM, CCİ, PLİ ve ponatinibin sitotoksik etkileri xCELLigence ile gerçek-zamanlı olarak ölçüldü. Ponatinib ile CCİ (p-CCİ), OSM (p-OSM), PLİ (p-PLİ) kombinasyonlarının analizleri için medyan-etki denklemini kullanıldı. Apoptoz, proliferasyon, hücre döngüsü düzenlenmesi akım sitometride değerlendirildi. Bulgular: MCF-7 hücrelerinde CCİ, OSM ve PLİ ekstrelerinin IC50 dozları sırasıyla 48. saatte 59,5, 57, 44,2 μg/ml ve 72. saatte 51,6, 54,21, 42,52 μg/ml olarak hesaplandı. Kombinasyon analizi sonuçlarına göre 48. saatte p-CCİ additif, p-OSM ve p-PLİ ılımlı sinerjistik etki sergilemekteydi. Ponatinib ile indüklenen apoptozun, CCİ ve PLİ kombinasyonlarıyla anlamlı düzeyde arttığı belirlendi. CCİ ve PLİ uygulamaları MCF-7 hücreleri üzerinde ılımlı düzeyde anti-proliferatif etki sergilerken, proliferasyonu en belirgin düzeyde OSM ekstresinin baskıladığı saptandı. Proliferasyon sonuçları ile uyumlu olarak, en yüksek G0/G1 tutulumu OSM uygulaması ile gözlendi. Kombine p-CCİ ve p-PLİ uygulamalarının ponatinibin anti-proliferatif etkisini anlamlı düzeyde arttırdıkları ve daha yüksek düzeyde G0/G1 birikimine neden oldukları ortaya koyuldu. Sonuç: Ponatinib ile CCİ, OSM, PLİ bitki ekstrelerinin kombinasyonları apoptozu indükleyerek, proliferasyonu baskılayarak ve hücre döngüsünün durdurarak meme kanserinde anti-kanser aktivitesi sergiledi. Belirlenen yüksek anti-kanser etkilerinin ışığında, Türkiye’de yetişen bu endemik bitki ekstreleri meme kanseri tedavisinde potansiyel strateji temsil edebilir.

Authors: Rosa Nei Vargas
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo surgiu como possibilidade de propor uma versão sintética da tese “Colecionismo de arte contemporânea: entre a centralidade das bordas e o mainstream”, defendida em setembro de 2021 no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Arte Visuais da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. A pesquisa investigou o colecionismo privado de arte contemporânea em suas distintas manifestações e escalas de inserção, buscando entender suas características e contribuições para o desenvolvimento do sistema da arte no Brasil. Foi adotado o modelo qualiquantitativo como metodologia para levantamento de indicadores e conteúdo, unindo um formulário eletrônico com 45 questões, com 201 respondentes, a 83 entrevistas presenciais com colecionadoras e colecionadores residentes em 16 estados das cinco regiões do país. Partiu-se de uma conformação de ordem sistêmica e polissistêmica para melhor entender a abrangência do colecionismo de arte contemporânea, o que facilitou observar as diferentes escalas de atuação e inserção que o conjunto desta prática tem alcançando nas últimas décadas. A partir dos resultados foi possível conceber uma modulação conceitual com base em três vetores: aquisição, gerenciamento e empresariamento das coleções, perfazendo um modelo epistemológico que ganha qualidade de instrumento de reflexão para compreender os processos envolvidos no modo como o colecionismo tem sido conduzido na realidade brasileira nas últimas décadas.

Sex, educational level and alternative to income were most statistically significant factors. It was recommended that more male involvements are encouraged in Zobo drink; educated individuals particularly unemployed are advised to engage and create a cliché for themselves through the use of more innovative processing and packaging activities and adopting cost-minimizing input mixes of best-practice to enable them become fully efficient.
Interdisciplinary approach for pathologic tooth migration in advanced periodontal disease patient
Authors: Louisa Marie
Published: June 2022

Background: Recent treatment trends have included an interdisciplinary approach to cases and have stressed the importance of orthodontic treatment in optimising the prognosis for patients with periodontal disease. Orthodontic intrusion is a reliable method to improve periodontal support as research has previously documented. Purpose: This case study demonstrates an interdisciplinary approach to treating a patient with moderately advanced periodontitis disease and pathologic tooth migration (PTM) of the upper left central incisor to enhance structure, function and aesthetics. Case: A 46-year-old systemically healthy male patient came with a chief complaint of a protruding and elongated tooth. Clinical examination showed a mobile, extruded incisor along with bleeding on probing and suppuration. Periodontal and radiographic examinations showed generalised horizontal bone loss combined with infrabony defects at the pathologically migrated upper left central incisor. Case Management: Periodontal inflammation was treated with a combination of nonsurgical and surgical therapy. Afterward, orthodontic treatment was done using a self-ligating system. The intrusion of a pathologically extruded tooth improved infrabony defects, creating a favourable bone level and probing depth. Conclusion: The combination of periodontal–orthodontic therapy achieves satisfactory outcomes if periodontal inflammation is controlled, physiologic forces are used, and oral hygiene is maintained throughout therapy.

Introduction: Long-term COVID-19 pandemic which has existed in Indonesia since 2020 not only poses a risk to public health but also to their social conditions. Indonesia, as a country with strong social fabric within its people, has a high sense of social responsibilities in facing the pandemic. The aim of this study is to describe Indonesians’ readiness in facing long-term COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This descriptive study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 305 residents of five cities in Indonesia. They were chosen not randomized by distributing a survey invitation via WhatsApp group with the background of the general public, and health cadres. We waited until the response received reached the targeted number of respondents. The data were collected using Google Forms, and were analyzed by using a descriptive method (percentage, P-value, and odds ratio) by SPSS statistical software version 25.

Results: The readiness in facing the pandemic fell into two categories: the high readiness level (77.1%) and the low readiness level (22.9%). Gender and age do not affect the level of readiness, while the level of education and employment status influenced the level of readiness.

Conclusions:
The majority of Indonesians have high readiness level. Public participation can decrease COVID-19 transmission rate.

Authors: Suprihatin Endah , Wuryaningsih Sri Hardi
Published: June 2022

Introduction: One of the causes of the high mortality rate of patients with severe preeclampsia-eclampsia in the postpartum period is the inaccurate assessment of the patient's need for help and independence in self-care. This study aimed to develop specific assessment instruments for postpartum patients based on Wiedenbach’s need for help and Orem’s self-care models.

Methods: This study used a research and development (R&D) approach. The samples were 30 midwives and 100 documents of postpartum patients with preeclampsia from Airlangga University Hospital, Surabaya, and 30 midwives from Haji Hospital Surabaya. Data were collected through document tracking and interviews. Data were analyzed with R&D methods.

Results: The results showed that the mean rank value of the new assessment instrument was higher (29.72) than the old assessment instrument (19.93). A significant difference was found between the new assessment instrument and the old assessment instrument (Wilcoxon test value -5.379 with p < 0.001). The new instrument had functionality, efficiency, and usability for assessment of the need for help and self-care of postpartum patients with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia.

Conclusions:

Stroke is the third cause of death and the first cause of disability in the world. It is around 80% of stroke patients in the world are ischemic stroke. According to the development of stroke models in animals, BCCAO is one technique that can induce global cerebral ischemia. An ischemia is known to influence activities of inflammatory cells which can be measured through peripheral blood. This study aims to determine effects of ischemia duration on routine blood profiles of rats (Rattus norvegicus) after bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO). This study was a quasi-experimental study. Its subjects were adult Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The rats were grouped into four treatment groups, and each group consisted of 6 rats. Group A was a group of sham-operated rats, group B was a group of rats with ischemia duration for 5 minutes, group C was a group of rats with ischemia duration for 10 minutes, and group D was a group of rats with ischemia duration for 20 minutes. Its obtained data were analysed by one-way ANOVA test and Post Hoc Tamhane's test. The ischemia duration significantly influenced the neutrophil and lymphocyte count after ischemia, with p < 0.05. The ischemia duration could affect the routine blood profiles of the rats after BCCAO, especially the neutrophil and lymphocyte count.

Pine resin is one of the demanded products to have proceeded into gondorukem. Gondorukem from Indonesia has a competitive advantage compared to other countries because it is stickier, heat resistant, and has a distinctive aroma so its exports are attractive to other countries. Ensuring the quality and quantity of gondorukem requires a smooth pine resin supply chain. This study aims to determine risk events and risk agents in the supply chain of pine resin that inhibit production, and design strategies to reduce the chance of emerging risks. House of Risk (HOR) is used to determine and apply the priority of risk agents and preventive actions. The study identified a total of 15 risk events and 30 risk agents that affect the quality and quantity of pine resin. Eighteen risk agents are prioritized, three of which are weather conditions, tapping personnel, and tree conditions for designing preventive actions. There are 3 priority preventive actions to handle the risk agent, namely (i) improving and controlling the quality of pine resin from the beginning process, (ii) giving a performance-based incentive and special tariff for a local tapper, and (iii) applying a resin tapping system with biogemme program.
Downregulation of KCTD12 contributes to melanoma stemness by modulating CD271
Authors: Shen Weiyu
Published: June 2022

Objective: Cancer metastasis remains the primary cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In a previous study, we found that levels of BTB/POZ domain-containing protein KCTD12 are lower in metastatic melanoma cells than in parental melanoma cells. The purpose of this study was to identify the roles of KCTD12 in cancer metastasis. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets were used to evaluate the relationship between KCTD12 and skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) prognosis. The effects of endogenous KCTD12 on biological behaviors were examined using the MTT assay. The impacts of KCTD12 on melanoma stemness were explored using spheroid formation assay. KCTD12 knockout A375 cells were generated to confirm the inhibitory effect of KCTD12 on CD271, and a mouse metastatic model was used to determine the impact of KCTD12 on melanoma metastasis in vivo. Results: KCTD12 levels were lower in lung metastatic cells than in paired parental melanoma cells, and low KCTD12 expression indicated a poor prognosis in SKCM. Cancer metastasis-related capacities were higher in lung metastatic cells than in parental melanoma cells. Moreover, KCTD12 knockdown enhanced tumor growth and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the interaction between KCTD12 and CD271 might be responsible for the stemness transformation after KCTD12 knockdown. Conclusions: This study identifies for the first time the role of the interaction between KCTD12 and CD271 in inducing melanoma cell stemness transformation. Moreover, KCTD12 repression enhances melanoma cell growth, adhesion, migration and invasion.
Synergistic inhibition of MEK and reciprocal feedback networks for targeted intervention in malignancy
Authors: Li Yanan , Dong Qingrong , Cui Yukun
Published: June 2022

The RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway (MAPK signaling pathway) plays a significant role in multiple pathological behaviors and is most frequently dysregulated in more than 30% of human cancers. As key elements in this pathway, MEK1/2 play crucial roles in tumorigenesis and the inhibition of apoptosis, which makes their inhibition an attractive antitumor strategy. Dozens of potent non-ATP-competitive allosteric MEK1/2 inhibitors have been developed that have produced substantial improvement in clinical outcomes over the past decade. However, the efficacy of these agents is limited, and response rates are variable in a wide range of tumors that harbor RAS and RAF mutations due to the development of resistance, which is derived mainly from the persistence of MAPK signaling and increased activation of the mutual feedback networks. Both intrinsic and acquired resistance to MEK inhibitors necessitates the synergistic targeting of both pathways to restore the therapeutic effects of a single agent. In this review, the significant role of the MAPK pathway in carcinogenesis and its therapeutic potential are comprehensively examined with a focus on MEK inhibitors. Then, the activation of feedback networks accompanying MEK inhibition is briefly reviewed. Combination strategies that involve the simultaneous inhibition of the original and resistance pathways are highlighted and elaborately described on the basis of the latest research progress. Finally, the obstacles to the development of MEK-related combination systems are discussed in order to lay the groundwork for their clinical application as frontline treatments for individual patients with MAPK-hyperactivated malignancies.

Introduction: Since its discovery in late 2019, the novel coronavirus (SARSCOVID-2) that causes COVID-19 has spread fast, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to designate the disease a worldwide pandemic on March 11, 2020.The epidemic has profoundly altered the preexisting global sexual and reproductive health landscape .The virus’s load has put ordinary services in jeopardy and harmed other health priorities. This encompasses both the provision and the supply of contraceptives, sexual health, new born and maternal health services. This Scoping review therefore mapped the availability evidence on the impact and effects of the COVID-19 disease outbreak on sexual and reproductive health. Methods: The methodological framework by Arksey and O’Malley guided this scoping review. A literature search was conducted from the following databases: Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, WOS, and AJOL. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram and the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist were used to document the review process. The Strobe critical review checklist was used to determine the quality of the included studies. Results:19 studies were reviewed, out of which 4 were cross sectional studies, 1 was an observational study, 1 was a descriptive analytical study and the rest were qualitative studies .Majority of the studies showed evidence on the impact of COVID-19 and family planning service, maternal and child services, and three studies reported on COVID-19 and sexual behaviour. Five of the nineteen included studies reported on the impact of COVID-19 and family planning service. Conclusion: This scoping review has granted the assessment of the impact of novel SARS-CoV-2 on Sexual and reproductive health services with regards to sexual behaviour, family planning and maternal, neonatal and child health. From the 18 articles identified and reviewed, the overall responses stipulated a significant reduction in client’s utilization of services due to challenges experiences in service implementation such as stock outs. In addition, low demand for reproductive health services by clients due to restrictions imposed on the movements of people to curb the spread of the virus. It is therefore important that Governments and relevant stakeholders in Maternal and Sexual Reproductive Health prioritize development of policies and practices that protect women from the impacts of the pandemic. Furthermore, regular audits to detect trends in MSRH are necessary to inform on going mitigation efforts.

This paper focuses on the combination of the method of moments and the wire-grid approximation as an effective computational technique for modeling symmetrical antennas with low computational cost and quite accurate results. The criteria and conditions for the use of wire-grid surface approximation from various sources are presented together with new recommendations for modeling symmetrical antenna structures using the wire-grid approximation. These recommendations are used to calculate the characteristics of biconical and horn antennas at different frequencies. The results obtained using different grid and mesh settings are compared to those obtained analytically. Moreover, the results are compared to those obtained using the finite difference time domain numerical method, as well as the measured ones. All results are shown to be in a good agreement. The used recommendations for building a symmetrical wire-grid of those symmetrical antenna elements provided the most advantageous parameters of the grid and mesh settings and the wire radius, which are able to give a quite accurate results with low computational cost. Additionally, the known equal area rule was modified for a rectangular grid form. The obtained radiation patterns of a conductive plate using both the original rule and the modified one are compared with the electrodynamic analysis results. It is shown that the use of the modified rule is more accurate when using a rectangle grid form.

San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, es una de las culturas más representativas de los pueblos originarios de México. La cabecera municipal está compuesta por tres barrios principales que son San Juan, San Sebastián y San Pedro. En antiguos tiempos, el diseño arquitectónico de las viviendas estaba hecho de materiales como la paja, adobe, bajareque y otros de origen orgánico, que formaban parte del entorno natural de los habitantes. De esa manera, las viviendas eran construidas a partir del aprovechamiento de los elementos naturales que los habitantes tenían a su alcance, como resultado del aprovechamiento de la actividad del sector primario.
