Monosaccharide and disaccharide as carbon sources can affect the production of secondary metabolites. The study aims to determine the effect of variations in carbon sources on growth, physiological stress, and saponin levels of the adventitious roots of Talinum paniculatum Gaerthn. Adventitious roots are subculture in liquid MS medium treated with various sugars: 3% sucrose, 3% glucose, 3% fructose, 3% lactose, 3% maltose, 3% dextrose, sucrose + fructose (1.5% + 1.5%), sucrose + glucose (1.5% + 1.5%), glucose + fructose (1.5% + 1.5%), sucrose + dextrose (1.5% + 1.5%) for 6 weeks. The results of this study show that the 3% fructose treatment produces the highest fresh and dry biomass, which are 1.30 g and 0.23 g compared to the control. The morphology of adventitious roots in the treatment of carbon source variation is not different from the control treatment. The highest MDA (malondialdehyde) levels are found in the sucrose + fructose treatment (1.5% + 1.5%). Meanwhile, the highest proline levels are found in the 3% maltose treatment. Saponin levels analyzed using thin layer chromatography show the data in the form of color intensity and stain area based on ImageJ software analysis. The 3% fructose treatment shows the highest color intensity and stain area compared to the control. Variations in carbon sources affect physiological stress, biomass, and saponin levels of adventitious roots of T. paniculatum, but do not effect on root morphology.

Published: December 2022

Diabetes mellitus is a disease related to hyperglycemia and insulin resistance that can lead to the outcome of chronic liver diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Red betel leaves are known as traditional plants that have anti-hyperglycemic potential. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ethanolic extract of red betel leaves nanoparticle (RbL-Nps) on the liver and hepatic insulin receptor’s (INSR) expression in diabetic rats. Thirty rats were included in this study and further divided into five groups containing six rats each. Group I (GI) comprised of the normal rats; while group II (GII), III (GIII), IV (GIV) and V (GV) comprised of diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ) at dose of 45 mg/kg bw and nicotinamide (NA) at dose of 110 mg/kg bw, intraperitoneally. Group I and II were treated with 0,5% Na-CMC orally.  Group III, IV and V were given the oral administration of RbL-Nps at the doses 30, 60, and 90 mg/kg bw diluted in 0,5% Na-CMC, respectively. All groups were treated once daily and subsequently euthanized after 28 days. Liver tissues were collected for immunohistochemistry method to see the INSR expression and haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Result in this study revealed that INSR expression on the GI, GIII and GIV were significantly higher compared to that on the GII (p < 0.05). On the other hand, there were no significant differences on the INSR expression between GV and GII (p > 0.05). Histologically, liver tissues retrieved from GII showed severe vacuolic and necrotic hepatocytes with dilatated sinusoid. Mild vacuolic and necrotic hepatocytes were observed from GV. There were no pathological changes observed in the liver tissues retrieved from GI, GII, and GIV. We concluded that RbL-Nps improved the liver condition of diabetic rats at doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg bw, but not at doses of 90 mg/kg bw.

Cave crickets are considered as a keystone species that can be used as a cave ecosystem bioindicator. Developing caves as tourism has considerable potential to disturb cave cricket populations. This study aimed to investigate cave cricket population structure and their habitat preference in Sanghyang Kenit cave one year after it developed into a show cave. Data were collected through standardized visual searching in three cave zones: entrance, twilight, and dark. Besides cave crickets, other macroarthropods discovered in each zone were also recorded. Abiotic parameters of habitat comprised air and soil temperatures, RH, soil moisture, soil pH, and light intensity were measured. Data were analyzed to show cave crickets abundance, density, sex ratio, and age structure. Statistical analysis comprising Kruskal Wallis, non-metric multidimensional scaling, and correlation tests were performed. The cave cricket population in Sanghyang Kenit belonged to a single species, Rhaphidophora sp. The population was around 78-108 individuals and distributed in all cave zones. The abundance and density in twilight and dark zones were significantly higher than in the entrance. The number of males outperformed females with a 2.16 ratio. Besides, the population was dominated by the sub-adult class. Environmental parameters of twilight and dark zones tended to be similar to one another compared to the entrance. Cave crickets preferred habitats with dark, humid, and acidic soil pH. Heteropoda sp. and Catagaeus sp. were considered potential predators. This study implies the importance of protecting cave crickets in Sanghyang Kenit.

Authors: Ismael Zain Noori
Published: December 2022

Corporations' underlying principles have altered dramatically as a result of advances and threats over the previous two decades. Internal and external pressures on businesses have made it necessary for them to keep a careful eye on their surroundings, either to maintain competitiveness or to learn more about potential threats and opportunities. This study aims to determine if and how competitive intelligence might benefit small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Researchers evaluated the direct influence of competitive intelligence on strategic marketing decisions made by SMEs by focusing on five different types of intelligence: market intelligence, competitor intelligence, customer intelligence, partnership intelligence, and technical intelligence. The researchers also used the embeddedness of competitive intelligence as a moderator to assess the effect of competitive intelligence on marketing strategies. The research team used hierarchical multiple regression and the Sobel test to analyze the impact of competition information on the marketing strategies of SMEs in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Nonetheless, the study quantified the direct influence on strategic marketing decisions made by SMEs by employing five distinct categories of competitive intelligence (market intelligence, competitive intelligence, customer intelligence, partner intelligence, and technical intelligence). Additionally, researchers used competitive intelligence as a mediator to evaluate the impact of competitive intelligence on strategic marketing choices. The study found that in all areas of competitive intelligence (market intelligence, competitor intelligence, customer intelligence, partner intelligence, and technical intelligence), competitive intelligence has a direct and ingrained effect on the strategic marketing decisions made by small and medium-sized businesses.

Published: December 2022

Abstract: Every year, many students get admission to Government aided schools. As the number of students keeps on increasing, this also increases the paperwork generated for each of those students. One of those generated data is the attendance of the students. Hence, the management of this data becomes a huge issue. Current attendance management systems are manual, costly, and not quite environment-friendly. Thus, there is a grave necessity for a potent and low-cost attendance management system that can be used by not just one or two schools but all government-aided schools collectively. Hence, we have developed an Attendance System for Students of Government Aided Schools where students from all over the state can give their attendance for their respective schools and the teachers/principal can view/edit the attendance quite easily. Also, all the teachers/principals/students can analyze their attendance on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

Commonly Used Turkic Language in the Declaration and Treaty on the Formation of the USSR
Authors: Vasilyev Alexander D.
Published: December 2022

In the article, the author draws parallels between the content of the union treaty on the formation of the USSR and the Soviet language policy of the 1920-1930s. In particular, the “commonly used” Turkic language mentioned in the treaty is considered. The author examines it in the context of the social movement proclaimed by I. Gasprinsky in the late 19th - early 20th centuries for the unity of the Turkic Muslim peoples in their movement towards progress. The pioneers in the development and introduction of the Latin alphabet were representatives of the Azerbaijan SSR, who were among the first to propose such projects of the alphabet reform. Its important element was the unification of the alphabet. In this regard, the author considers the projects for creating a single unified alphabet for the Turkic peoples of the USSR; it was the Azerbaijani version of the Latinized alphabet that was supposed to be the basis for it. This situation gave the leaders of Soviet Azerbaijan the opportunity to lead the process of cultural transformation among the Turkic peoples of the USSR. The article also considers the organizational efforts of the initiators of the idea of latinization to create a unified structure for managing the process of latinization in the USSR, as well as some aspects of their struggle with supporters of a different direction of cultural reforms among the Turks who proposed simplifying the Arabic alphabet.
U.S. and ‘Turkestan’ Political Exiles during the Cold War: Information Policy of Radio Liberty in Soviet Central Asia
Authors: Antoshin Alexey V.
Published: December 2022

US policy in Central Asia is a topical issue that causes discussions among researchers. One can't help wondering about the origins of this policy, particularly during the Cold War era. This, in turn, leads scholars to question the U.S.'s role in the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the formation of independent states in the former territory of Soviet Central Asia. This article discusses the effectiveness of American propaganda services operating in Central Asia during the Cold War. The most prominent structure which tried to influence political sentiments of population of this region was Radio Liberty (RL). It consisted of former Nazi collaborators during World War II, and Soviet propaganda apparatus used this situation. RL used the concept of a united anti-communist Turkestan which was unacceptable for real situations in Soviet Central Asia. Jamming and the lack of feedback from listeners made great obstacles for activity of RL in this region. That is why the author attempts to prove that the effective-ness of this activity was not so great as its financial support. Using archives of Russian and American security services and documents of Central Asian archives, future scholars will have the possibility to clarify this conclusion.
Russian Exporters to Iran vs Transcaucasian Transit of European Goods in the Early 1880s
Authors: Kornoukhova Gadilya G.
Published: December 2022

The problem of European goods transit from the Black Sea ports of Russia through Transcaucasia to the northern markets of Persia in the 19th century is considered. The author analyzes the history of its functioning, pays special attention to the process of Russian bureaucracy’s discussion of the issue of the expediency of preserving the Transcaucasian transit which was finally closed in 1883. The historiographic analysis reveals that the problem of the role of Russian entrepreneurs in the abolition of duty-free transportation of European goods through Transcaucasia to Iran has not yet been covered properly. The author discloses the position of entrepreneurs on the issue under consideration through the analysis of materials stored in the fund of the Moscow Exchange Committee of the Central State Archives of Moscow; there are considered the arguments in favor of abolishing the transit expressed by the entrepreneurs associated with export to Iran in the early 1880s; there are revealed the Russian entrepreneurs’ appeals to the government. The author comes to the conclusion that in the circles of the highest bureaucracy there was no unified position on this issue, which was due to the differences in the assessment of the role of commercial cargo from Europe to Iran for the development of the Russian economy. Whereas some officials, as well as representatives of the commercial and industrial circles, considered the preservation of transit to be an obstacle to the sale of their own products, for another part of the state bureaucracy it was a fiscal source of replenishment of the treasury. As a result, the pressure on the part of the commercial and industrial circles involved in the export trade with Iran led to the abolition of duty-free transit for European goods.
Executed under the name of Antonov: Revolutionary Biography of Vladimir Sviridenko
Authors: Milevsky Oleg A.
Published: December 2022

The article reconstructs the “revolutionary biography” of populist Vladimir Antonovich Sviridenko who was previously practically unknown in the scientific community, using the methodological approaches inherent to the “personal history” direction. The source base of the article is both documents from the archives of Moscow (State Archive of the Russian Federation) that were not previously introduced into scientific use, and the existing memoir literature. The article examines and analyzes the process of Sviridenko's ideological evolution from a peaceful propagandist to an active member of the “Executive Committee of the Russian Social-Revolutionary Party” (“Southern Executive Committee”) who used the tactics of political terror against the representatives of the Russian ruling elite. In the process of studying the sources, including the documents of the Gendarme department, it was possible to establish that Sviridenko was a very prominent figure among the revolutionaries of the south of Russia in the late 1870s. The study of Sviridenko’s revolutionary biography revealed previously little-known moments of populist propaganda in Novorossiya (Odessa, Nikolaev) among military sailors. It was also established that at that time the revolutionaries decided to use dynamite to prepare for regicide. Special attention is paid to Sviridenko's activity in Kiev, in 1878-early 1879, in the ranks of the “Southern Executive Committee” created by V.A. Osinsky. There is analyzed the role played by Sviridenko in its work. There are also considered the negotiations of the representatives of the “Southern Executive Committee” with the liberals in Kiev at the end of 1878 in which he was directly involved. The analysis of Sviridenko’s ideological evolution allowed us not only to better understand the motives of his actions, but also made it possible to trace on his example the typical path of the transition of southern revolutionaries from propaganda to terror. On the basis of the material studied, the author comes to the conclusion that the reconstruction of V.A. Sviridenko's “revolutionary biography” is extremely important for clarifying the reasons for the evolution of revolutionary populism from peaceful propaganda to political terror.
Phenomenon of Sovietness in Russian Historiographical Tradition
Authors: Orlov Igor B.
Published: December 2022

The author proposes a new historiographic approach which is based on the identification of the essential lines of the historiographic split without dividing the works according to the disciplinary principle. The author connects another historiographic turn in the study of the phenomenon of Sovietness with the expansion of the source base and, above all, with the appeal to mass personal sources, in particular, letters to the authorities, which, due to the representation of different social groups, make it possible to clarify the process of establishing new Soviet values and, accordingly, existing historiographic conclusions, as well as to verify the theoretical and methodological foundations of modern research. The analysis showed that with all the variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, the idea of the dual nature of the phenomenon of Sovietness and the appeal to “greater meanings” seems to be the most promising one, and mass sources contribute to the transition from the study of the abstract Soviet man to the study of “homo soveticus” in all the diversity of his life at different stages of history.

Published: December 2022

Nos anos de 2020 e 2021, a pandemia de covid-19 afetou a realização, em Belém do Pará, do Círio de Nazaré, que necessitou de contornos extraordinários para que fosse realizado de modo essencialmente virtual. A festa do Círio se situa além dos rituais litúrgicos, espraiando se por festividades culturais das mais variadas, como a icônica Festa da Chiquita. O turismo da cidade, além de toda uma rede diretamente dependente dele, notadamente o eixo comercial, foram seriamente impactados. Nesse cenário, a economia popular, por abarcar sobretudo os vendedores que atuam na informalidade, foi uma das áreas mais atingidas pelos efeitos do isolamento social. Este artigo objetiva analisar os efeitos danosos da pandemia sobre a festa do Círio e todas as manifestações culturais a ele indexadas, com ênfase na economia popular atuante nesses movimentos. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, com utilização de fontes jornalísticas, suportada pela literatura relacionada à questão pandêmica. Foram analisados fragmentos de entrevistas realizadas durante a pesquisa de campo, em 2021, com oito sujeitos relacionados às temáticas abordadas neste estudo. As principais análises foram promovidas sob uma perspectiva foucaultiana de poder, o que corroborou para confirmar a hipótese de que as festividades atreladas ao Círio possuem inestimável relevância econômica para os vendedores ambulantes que atuam na informalidade, razão pela qual a ausência desses eventos, em decorrência da pandemia, acarretou consequências mais fortes sobre essa massa vulnerável de trabalhadores.

Published: December 2022

Os bairros de Camboa, Diamante, Fé em Deus, Liberdade e Sítio do Meio integram o quilombo urbano da Liberdade, o primeiro da categoria a ser certificado pela Fundação Cultural Palmares no Maranhão, precisamente em 2019. Localizado nas margens do rio Anil, na porção central de São Luís, o quilombo concentra cerca de 160 mil habitantes, muitos deles oriundos da Região de Planejamento do Litoral Ocidental e da Baixada Maranhense, regiões que concentraram grande número de negros escravizados. A população da Liberdade também é majoritariamente negra e, apesar de sua histórica situação de vulnerabilidade social, é responsável por uma vivaz produção cultural, expressa em inúmeras celebrações, entre elas o bumba meu boi, que dinamiza o turismo e a economia local. No contexto da pandemia de covid-19, por força do isolamento social mandatório, os bois não puderam realizar apresentações em arraiais e tiveram de suspender ensaios e ritos públicos comumente realizados em suas sedes. A vida no quilombo foi sensivelmente afetada: as líderes de dois dos mais antigos e respeitados bois do Maranhão, o Bumba Meu Boi da Liberdade e o Bumba Meu Boi da Floresta, foram instadas a criar estratégias simultâneas de celebração e ativismo social, com o duplo objetivo de assegurar a execução de ritos sagrados e prestar ajuda humanitária a brincantes e vizinhos necessitados. Este artigo aborda as estratégias acionadas pelas dirigentes dos referidos bois, duas mulheres negras que têm usado a sensibilidade feminina e a força da tradição e do prestígio de seus grupos culturais em prol do bemestar comunitário.
Um choque cultural? Transformações de festas populares da Cidade do Cabo em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Dias Juliana Braz
Published: December 2022

Anualmente, a Cidade do Cabo torna-se palco para um conjunto de festividades que celebram a chegada do ano novo. Bandas de Natal (Christmas bands), corais malaios (Malay choirs) e trupes de menestréis (Kaapse Klopse) ocupam as ruas, espalhando sons e cores. Usualmente esses grupos também participam de atividades competitivas, que mobilizam boa parte da população local. Tais formas expressivas são associadas, mais especificamente, às classes trabalhadoras dos chamados Coloureds – sul-africanos mestiços, cujos antepassados participaram do processo de crioulização que se deu na Colônia do Cabo. A chegada do novo coronavírus e as medidas governamentais adotadas para o enfrentamento da pandemia exigiram a suspensão das festas tradicionais. Contudo uma alternativa foi experimentada. Um grupo de produtores locais criou o Culture Shock, um programa transmitido via streaming cujo conteúdo é uma versão reestruturada da competição entre corais e trupes de menestréis. Neste artigo, apresento uma comparação entre os eventos originais e sua nova versão na era da pandemia. Quais são as semelhanças e as diferenças entre os dois fenômenos em termos das práticas, dos valores e das emoções que acionam? Aponto elementos dessas festividades que foram eliminados ou modificados com a implementação do novo formato. Também destaco os pontos de continuidade, argumentando que eles revelam aspectos importantes dessas celebrações populares.

Authors: Brangioni Fontes Roberta , Narciso Rocha de Paula Andréa Maria
Published: December 2022

Neste trabalho discutimos o conflito ambiental que vivencia o município do Serro/MG, devido às tentativas de implantação de mineradoras de ferro em seu território, desde 2014. O objetivo é descrever e discutir como se processam localmente os tensionamentos entre as empresas mineradoras e os que resistem à mineração, acionando a defesa do lugar a partir de sua biodiversidade, cultura, direitos das comunidades quilombolas e seus modos de vida tradicionais. Para isso, fazemos uma contextualização histórica do problema e analisamos o processo de conflito e resistência com base nos referenciais teóricos sobre desenvolvimento e ecologia política. Nos valemos da pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e observação participante realizadas de 2019 a 2021. A análise evidenciou o alinhamento de estruturas coloniais, racistas e antidemocráticas, com o projeto neoextrativista representado pelas empresas minerárias.
PARTICIPAÇÃO DE ANIMAIS NÃO-HUMANOS EM PROCESSOS JUDICIAIS NO TRIBUNAL DE JUSTIÇA DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL
Authors: Dos Santos Pedro Henrique , Ataíde Júnior Vicente de Paula
Published: December 2022

Detectado o recente fenômeno da judicialização estrita do Direito Animal, em que animais não-humanos buscam, em juízo, seus direitos, o problema da presente pesquisa consistiu em averiguar se os animais têm acesso à tutela jurisdicional. Com recorte geográfico focado no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, por conta da especificidade da Lei Estadual nº 15.434/2020, por meio do método dedutivo, com consulta documental na doutrina e jurisprudência, o objetivo geral é analisar casos em que o Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul reconheceu a qualidade de sujeitos de direitos aos animais, negando, contudo, a capacidade processual deles. Assim, foi percebida a tendência do tribunal gaúcho de afronta ao princípio da inafastabilidade da jurisdição ao negar a capacidade processual aos animais em questão.

Authors: Pimenta Adriene Suellen Ferreira , França Maria do Perpétuo Socorro Gomes de Souza Avelino de
Published: December 2022

O presente artigo analisa as práticas educativas que fizeram parte da formação de mulheres no Orfanato Antônio Lemos, no período de 1893 a 1940. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, na qual utilizamos a perspectiva da análise histórica, cujas fontes elencadas foram relatórios da Intendência Municipal de Belém, mensagens de governo do Pará e matérias dos jornais A Província do Pará e Folha do Norte. O Orfanato Antônio Lemos teve suas origens no Orphelinato Paraense, criado em Belém, capital do Pará, no ano de 1893, com o objetivo de amparar e educar meninas órfãs. Ao longo dos anos, a instituição passou por várias transformações e tornou-se modelo na educação e amparo de meninas órfãs. Em 1903, por iniciativa do intendente de Belém, Antônio José de Lemos, deu-se início a construção de um novo prédio para a instituição na Vila de Santa Isabel, denominado Orfanato Antônio Lemos. As práticas educativas desenvolvidas nessa instituição sustentavam-se no ideário de civilidade e de princípios religiosos da Igreja Católica, as quais buscavam formar mulheres imaculadas, não apenas capazes de governar o lar, cuidar dos filhos e do marido, como também de terem um ofício e formarem-se professoras normalistas rurais

Authors: Xing Nianzeng
Published: December 2022

Nanomedicine is a way for the treatment of the several types of cancers.
In the present study, gold nanoparticles were green-synthesized using
the aqueous extract of Mangifera indica. The chemical characterization
was studied different techniques including FT-IR, UV-Vis, SEM and TEM.
The anti-human gastric cancer activity of AuNPs@Mangifera indica was
evaluated using MTT assay. The nanoparticles were formed in a spherical
shape with a size less than 100 nm for the particle size. The treated
cells with AuNPs@Mangifera indica were assessed by MTT assay about the
cytotoxicity and anti-human gastric cancer properties on normal (HUVEC)
and gastric cancer cell lines i.e. GC1415, GC1436, NCI-N87 and MKN45. In
the antioxidant test, the IC50 of AuNPs@Mangifera indica and BHT against
DPPH free radicals were 55 and 49 µg/mL, respectively. The viability of
malignant gastric cell lines reduced dose-dependently in the presence of
AuNPs@Mangifera indica. The IC50 of AuNPs@Mangifera indica were 212,
213, 250 and 328 µg/mL against GC1415, GC1436, NCI-N87 and MKN45 cell
lines, respectively.

emerging-study area in several and chronic diseases. Tele-rehabilitation
during Covid-19 disease became an essential tool to promote physical
activity in total safety. Infact, for pwCF physical activity was
fundamental not only for the respiratory program but also Aim:
To evaluate the feasibility of home web-based program of home exercise
training program in patients with cystic fibrosis during COVID-19
pandemic. Subjects and methods: 32 patients (12 M/ 20 F) age
20,52 (±9,3); FEV1 mean was 84,88% and Ph angle mean at T0 was 6,11 (sd
0,83). Results: Adherence average rate was 61,5 %.
Satisfaction and utility scores were respectively 4.5 and 4.3(Likert
Scale); about QoL the Body-domain had a statistically significant
increase (pvalue <0.05). Conclusion: Web-based
rehabilitation could be a good tool but more studies are needed to
confirm optimal values of adherence. Although data are based on a small
sample size and longer periods of treatment are requested to analyze
especially the physiological answer about heart rate and lung volumes.

Published: December 2022

Background: Since rapid and accurate diagnosis of pneumonia and
the determination of its severity are challenging, especially in
childhood, we aimed to evaluate the role of toll-like receptors (TLRs)
in pneumonia, the investigation of which has been limited in animal and
adult studies. Methods: TLR-2, TLR-4, interleukin (IL)-1β,
IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, interferon (IFN)-α, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α
levels were evaluated in the serum samples of 67 pediatric patients with
community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) (43 inpatients and 24 outpatients)
and 22 healthy pediatric controls. Saliva samples from 30 pediatric
patients with CAP (19 inpatients and 11 outpatients) and 20 healthy
pediatric controls were also investigated. Results: In saliva
samples obtained at the time of diagnosis, the threshold levels were
1.16 2 for TLR-2 and 1.28 2
for TLR-4 to differentiate patients with and
without pneumonia, respectively. The sensitivity of salivary TLR-2 and
TLR-4 assessment was 0.80 and 0.86, respectively. In the serum samples,
TLR-2, TLR-4, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-α, and TNF-α levels were
significantly decreased in patients with novel coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) compared with other viruses (p<0.05 for all). In
the serum samples of patients with pneumonia due to COVID-19, IL-6 and
IFN-α levels were significantly lower than in the control group
(p<0.05 for all). Conclusion: Salivary analysis of
TLR-2 and TLR-4 is beneficial in the diagnosis of severe pneumonia,
especially in childhood.
