Published: May 2022

This study examines the effects of population growth and poverty in environmental sustainability in Nigeria. Environment sustainability covers the conservation, management and rational utilization of natural resources in such a way to maintain the integrity of each ecosystem, support all life, ensure the preservation of biodiversity and prevent environmental degradation. The pillars of environmental sustainability includes sustainability development, social sustainability and economic sustainability which is the thrust of this study. The study also discloses that rapid population growth has dents on environmental sustainability which reflects in deforestation, bushburning, haunting, destruction of the environment through pollution which significantly impact on the total health of human beings. In conclusion, the complex and dynamic of effect of population and poverty towards environmental sustainability is seen to be mediated through a number of socio-economic, cultural, political, and developmental variables which have relative significance that vary from one context to another. Some economists, biologists, and environmentalists have observed that over-population have hands on poverty which vis-à-vis leads to denaturing of the environment in quest of daily survival. Therefore, degradation, erosion and earthquake can adversely affect environmental sustainability just as oil and gas activities in the Niger Delta does affect the natural environment of the South-South people of Nigeria. It is on this premise that recommendations are made that government should enact environmental laws and policies that will enhance afforestation safeguarding; government should create awareness on the effects of environmental sustainability; and government should establish an available mechanism to stabilize population so as to protect the environment.

Published: May 2022

Hypertension is a disease that increases every year. Diet in hypertension sufferers is still not working because many people with hypertension still have poor dietary behavior. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of education level and family support on diet in adolescents at risk of hypertension using the Self Care theory approach. The design of this research is Analytical Observation with Cross Sectional approach. Samples were taken using the Purposive Sampling technique with criteria according to inclusion and exclusion in Islamic Vocational Schools of Gondanglegi and NU Gondanglegi Middle Schools, Gondanglegi District, Malang Regency as many as 80 respondents. In this study, data was collected on the level of education and family support using a questionnaire sheet. The statistical test used is multiple linear regression analysis test. The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the most influential variable on diet in adolescents with hypertension risk was family support with a value of (0,001) with a coefficient of -.420. Therefore, it can be seen that family support can affect diet in hypertensive adolescents, so it is necessary to have family support for hypertensive adolescents to reduce hypertension in adolescents.

Motivo de especial preocupación son las elevadas tasas de temporalidad obrantes en el empleo público. Siendo las cifras más alarmantes las relativas al personal laboral sujeto a contratos a término, tampoco hay que ocultar el cuantioso volumen de funcionarios interinos sobre todo en ciertos sectores como sanidad y educación. El reclutamiento irregular de laborales ha motivado la creación de la figura de los "indefinidos no fijos", figura que no ha sido trasladada con carácter general al colectivo funcionarial, no en vano la observancia de los principios constitucionales de mérito y capacidad en el acceso al empleo público deben adquirir un papel protagonista.

It is very worring the high temporary employment rates in public employment. The most alarming figures are those relating to work staff subject to temporary contracts, but the large volume of interim officials must not be hidden, especially in certain sectors such as health and education. The irregular recruitment of workers has motivated the creation of the figure of the "indefinite not fixed", which has not been transferred in general to the civil service, because the observance of the constitutional principles of merit and ability in access to public employment they must take a leading role.

Authors: Chuenchaichon Yutthasak
Published: May 2022

The purposes of this study were to examine the quality of summary writing and type of problems made by Thai EFL English major students and also elicit opinions regarding problems encountered by these EFL learners in summary writing. 67 pieces of summaries written by fourth year English major students who enrolled in a research report writing course (205426) in the first semester of academic year 2021 at Naresuan University were collected and analyzed. It was found that the quality of summary writing produced by these EFL writers was viewed as “fair”, and there were no significant differences among all dimensions. They were all regarded as “fair”. Each dimension revealed the main problems mostly encountered. Concerning their opinions about summary writing problems, they thought that they found it difficult to find the main ideas of the text and finally lost focus. In addition, having difficulty in choosing vocabulary to replace the words from the original source when paraphrasing and having little time for revising were also their main problems. Pedagogical implications for L2 learning and teaching summary writing are discussed.

Authors: Ahmad Saleh
Published: May 2022

Model Predictive Control techniques offer favorable characteristics for the process control sector and have been used in industry since the 1980s. Some of the advantages of the Model Predictive Control techniques are that the process model can capture both static and dynamic interactions between input, output, and disturbance variables; the existing constraints on inputs and outputs are considered systematically, and the control calculations can be coordinated with the calculation of optimum set-points. This study aims to design and implement a Model Predictive controller for the flowrate control loop of the FESTO MPS PA Compact Workstation. The designed Model Predictive controller has an important advantage because it is easy to conFig. how much energy should be used using well-designed tuning parameters. First, a dynamic model of the plant is obtained using Pseudo-Random Binary Signal input. The obtained model is used to define the objective function, determine the aspects to be optimized and analyze and identify the restrictions and limitations of the control algorithm. For the implementation of the model predictive control algorithm, LabVIEW software was used because it can execute a graphic visualization of the operation of the plant, and it offers ActiveX controls that are needed for interfacing with the MPS PA compact workstation. Finally, the controller's behavior was analyzed, and comments about the obtained results and conclusions on this line of research are presented.

Published: May 2022

Salam (Syzygium polyanthum), stevia (Stevia rebaudiana), tea (Camellia sinensis), and yakon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) leaves act as inhibitors of the α-glucosidase enzyme. The aims of this research were to (i) determine the best combination of polyherbals that could inhibit the α-glucosidase enzyme, (ii) determine the phytochemical content of the teraactive fraction, and (iii) predict potential bioactive compounds that were responsible for the inhibition of the α-glucosidase enzyme. The novelty of this research was its use of several types of herbs, combined with various compositions, to obtain the IC50 value. Also, this research predicted the activity of the compound through a molecular docking approach with Molegro Virtual Docker software. The extraction was carried out with the maceration method with 96% ethanol and then partitioned with ethyl acetate and water. Two fractions with high inhibition percentages were combined with a ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 1:3, and 3:1, and they were tested against the α-glucosidase inhibitory enzyme. The best fraction was identified for chemical compound content by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS). The compounds were analyzed in silico by using Molegro Virtual Docker software, which obtained the best reranc score. The results showed that the ethanol extract of tea leaves had the highest activity, at 65.51%, and salam, stevia, and yakon leaves had inhibition percentages of 44.11%, 34.74%, and 28.85%, respectively. The combination of water fractions of tea and salam leaves had the best activity at a ratio of 3:1 with IC50 of 16.53 ppm, which was almost equivalent to acarbose as a positive control with IC50 of 14.62 ppm. The analysis of LC-MS/MS for the water fraction of tea contained nicotiflorin with m/z 594, a reranc score of -118.24, and amino acid residues Arg, Asp, Asn, Cys, Glu, His, Thr, and Tyr. The water fraction of salam leaves contained quercetagetin with m/z 319, the reranc score was –89.123, and the amino acid residues Asn, Asp, Gln, Lys, Phe, Pro, Thr, and Trp.
The Effect of a Rigid Connection between the Slab and the Coupled Beam on the Seismic Performance of the Coupling Wall System
Authors: Idriss Lamiaa K. , Gamal Yasser Abdal Shafey
Published: May 2022

The evolution of the construction building is one of the urgent matters in the current era, especially for high and medium-rise buildings. The widely used frame shear wall system has the main sign for the resistance of the lateral load (seismic and wind loads), so adding the coupled shear wall system to the construction building can give sufficient lateral stability, which can be achieved by increasing stiffness, strength, and ductility of the system. However, much research had been studied the coupling beams in the shear wall system theoretically and experimental; the effectiveness of the slab performance on the system has a short thesis executed experimental with limiting factors. In other words, only a few studies have shown the effects of slabs on the behavior of the coupled beam, and these studies did not mention the representation of the model. This study aims to investigate the effect of the rigidity connection between the slab and coupled beam and to create a finite element model in 3D to get a full understanding of the behavior of the system with different cases and hence to get recommendations for constructing stability system, the interaction between the slab elements and the shear wall system can effect on the behavior of the building. Deformation, shear, and moment in the coupled beam consider as the main measurements of structure response; the measured responses with different models of building 4, 8, 12 stories have been investigated in 3D models to obtain the behavior of the interaction of the slab with the coupled wall system. Two cases have been created; one is made without slab between coupled beam, and the other with existence the slab. The results prove that the rigidity between the coupled beam and the slab diaphragm is more effective for stability versus the seismic load. It shows the response reduction in the coupled beam and hence the overall response of the structure modeling, which can be returned to the effects of interaction rigidity between elements of the coupled beam and slab.

Published: May 2022

The study of river performance and infrastructure is not only conducted qualitatively. An instrument is needed to examine the object being observed quantitatively (usually with a minimum and maximum number scale interpretation). The review of the physical condition assessment for the river performance index and river infrastructure has not been developed based on a study of the variables that influence it. Therefore, this study aims to develop a mathematical model of the index of river performance and infrastructure as a decision support system for the integration of programs and activities related to river management. The research location was chosen based on the consideration that there has been no preparation of a performance index model in the Babon River. In this study, the authors use the Smart-PLS (Partial Least Square) application to analyze and narrow the variables and then re-analyze them using the Generalized Reduced Gradient (GRG) method to calculate non-linear equations. There are four variables, eight dimensions, and 51 (indicators) used, with the types of technical, spatial, social, and regulatory variables. Based on the PLS-SEM analysis, the results were narrowed into 4 (four) variables, 8 (eight) dimensions, and 51 (fifty one) indicators that were interrelated with one another. The GRG (Generalized Reduced Gradient) analysis with the solver in Microsoft Excel showed the most influential weights consisting of: technical variables, namely rivers (0.475) and flood problems (0.582); spatial variables, namely land use (0.418) and land cover (% Urban) (0.498); social variables, namely community activities (0.454), settlement density and socio-cultural conditions (0.289), and community participation (0.257); and regulation variables, namely law enforcement efforts (1.000). This research can be used for other watersheds with conditions or characteristics relatively similar to the Babon River. However, research related to this formulation on other watershed conditions still needs to be done.

Pediatric is the medicine specialization concerned with the health of infants, children, and adolescents. Worldwide, many infectious diseases were controlled in the 20th century by improving living standards, public health, and various antimicrobial agents. Antibiotics, in particular, cephalosporin, are amongst the most widely dispensed medications in Pediatric departments worldwide, especially in countries where there are no strict guidelines to regulate their use. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at 150 Bedded Pediatric ward of Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences for Women (PUMHSW), Nawabshah, Shaheed Benazirabad to assess the utilization pattern of cephalosporin among all admitted in-patients. Patients' demographic details were recorded from the Patient's Bedside File (PBF). Data were analyzed by using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft SPSS 20. Among all admitted patients, 1285 patients met the inclusion criteria, and their PBF were evaluated for cephalosporin. A total of 2863 antibiotics were prescribed among 1932 patients. The most commonly prescribed class of antibiotics among the study population was Cephalosporin 1971 (68.83%), followed by Cefotaxime (20.39%). 76.20% of pediatric patients were prescribed antibiotics through the parenteral route and 23.8% through the oral route. The most common diagnosis was Pneumonia (23.4%), diarrhea (11.6%), and Bronchitis (11.2%), following other indications. Antibiotics were being prescribed without national antibiotic guidelines or institutionally approved protocols, which are currently unavailable. The study findings shall help the hospital administration and government design and implement official policies to promote rational utilization of antibiotics.

An Analysis of Chainsaw Operator Safety Between Asian and European Countries
Authors: Robb William , Zemánek Tomáš , Kaakkurivaara Nopparat
Published: May 2022

Work safety in the forestry industry, where chainsaws are used for tree felling, continues to be a top priority. The mobility of workers involved in chainsaw operations between Europe and Asia has become more common in today’s global workplace. Therefore, sharing knowledge about the types of work safety issues found in both regions can be beneficial. Increased knowledge and safety awareness in the workplace can contribute to a reduction in chainsaw accidents. This paper identifies and addresses four key related areas, namely: regulatory frameworks; chainsaw accidents; personal protective equipment and chainsaw training. Information for both regions was evaluated via interviews, questionnaires, direct observation, desk studies, field studies and descriptive statistical analysis. A total of 234 participants responded to the main research questionnaire, which resulted in data analysis of significant questions related to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and possible causes of accidents. Key findings included a need for more information relating to the effect of regulations in individual countries and chainsaw accident and fatality statistics within Asia. A requirement for further research into the suitability of PPE used in Asia was identified. Inadequate training was seen as a primary factor causing accidents in Asia, while in Europe, it was due to chainsaw operators taking shortcuts. Inadequate workplace supervision and a lack of uniform and affordable training provision were common issues identified within both regions. Field tests carried out in accordance with the International/European chainsaw (ICC/ECC) qualification standards of the »non-profit« Awarding Body Association (ABA) International were successful in demonstrating the benefits of uniform training to participants in Europe and Asia. Overall, the study raises awareness of the fatal consequences of risk-taking behaviour to work safety, requiring a better understanding of the problem from a social psychology perspective. It identifies the self-employed or temporary worker groups as high-risk categories in both regions, with younger workers seen to be more at risk of injury in Asia and older workers more at risk in Europe. The findings demonstrate that, while there are differences between the two regions (at least within the participating countries), it is essential to provide quality education and raise skills by training and promotion of supervision in order to prevent chainsaw accidents. This can lead to the development of the building blocks of a holistic approach to safety in forestry work, which, as shown in this paper, can result in a decrease in the occurrence of accidents.

Authors: Moreno Castañeda Manuel
Published: May 2022

Resumen

La motivación de este escrito nace de las experiencias vividas y conocidas en diversos niveles y ámbitos de los sistemas educativos en México y algunos países de Iberoamérica, en las que se manifestaban diversas formas de fragmentación. Su propósito es analizar la problemática de los sistemas educativos, con especial interés en los modos en que se integran y relacionan sus elementos y procesos, a partir del principio de que uno de sus problemas es la fragmentación que les aqueja y que requiere de una sana regeneración. La metodología seguida se basa en el planteamiento de referentes conceptuales y empíricos, en este caso experiencias propias, como marco para compartir reflexiones y propuestas para la regeneración de las relaciones educativas dañadas y fragmentadas. El artículo inicia con un panorama de la situación actual con respecto a las relaciones educativas, para luego relatar algunas experiencias referidas a esa temática y proponer algunas ideas sobre la regeneración de esas relaciones y los retos a superar, para que se den de la mejor manera. Finalizo el texto con algunas reflexiones sobre las posibles vías para la regeneración y saneamiento de las relaciones educativas.
Principios de vida para sistemas sociales
Authors: Angel Melina
Published: May 2022

La biomímesis ha planteado principios de vida que todos los organismos sobre la tierra cumplen para ser aplicados al diseño y a la producción industrial de los bienes, los servicios y las estructuras que usamos los humanos. Esos principios han dejado un marco de ético para ese diseño del mundo fuera de nosotros y para nuestro uso. Esta es una propuesta para avanzar en nuestra comprensión de los principios de la vida desde adentro. Para poder llevar los principios de la vida a los sistemas sociales debemos incluir lo que se ha llamado la biología cognitiva y cuántica, que incluyen al observador en el fenómeno de la vida. Esta visión interna evoluciona los principios de vida de tal manera que se logran comprender los procesos sociales como procesos vivos, y se logran facilitar equipos, grupos y procesos comunitarios comprendiendo cómo la vida se manifiesta en nosotros y a través de nosotros. Luego identificar los aspectos de vida faltantes del sistema social para regenerar su vitalidad y devolverla al colectivo y los individuos. Los principios de vida para los sistemas sociales proponen una visión profunda para reconectarnos con el planeta y la vida, para así lograr evolucionar nuestras organizaciones al punto en que funcionemos como una especie natural en la biósfera y encontremos nuestro nicho de tal forma que florescamos mientras resolvemos las necesidades del momento y creamos condiciones para la vida, simultáneamente.
Bachmuschel (Unio crassus) Erfolgreiche Besiedlung eines verlegten Bachabschnitts und oberstromiger Bestandseinbruch durch Extremwitterung
Authors: Schwarzer Arno , Trautner Jürgen
Published: May 2022

Im Rahmen des Neubaus der Bundesstraße B 31 im westlichen Teil von Friedrichshafen (Baden-Württemberg, Bodenseekreis) war ein Abschnitt des Schnetzenhausener Mühlbachs zu verlegen, der eine Teilpopulation der Bachmuschel ( Unio crassus) beherbergt. Über Planung, Bachverlegung und die damit verbundene Muschelumsiedlung wurde bereits an anderer Stelle berichtet. Die vorliegende Publikation stellt zunächst im Überblick die Ergebnisse von Begleituntersuchungen nach Abschluss der gewässerbaulichen Maßnahmen und der Umsiedlung bis einschließlich 2019 dar und geht sodann detaillierter auf Untersuchungen im Jahr 2020 und ihre Ergebnisse ein. Bachverlegung und Muschelumsiedlung (2013-2014) verliefen gut. Der Bestand zeigte sich bei Stichproben in ersten Folgejahren im oberstromigen Einsetzungsbereich vital. Dort kam es dann jedoch infolge von Extremwitterung des Jahres 2018 zu einer drastischen Bestandsreduktion. Unterstützt durch eine mehrmonatige Notbewässerung konnte sich ein geringer Anteil des Muschelbestands dort halten. Für den unterstromig gelegenen, verlegten Bachabschnitt dokumentieren die Ergebnisse zugleich eine strukturell günstige Entwicklung und eine erfolgreiche Eigenbesiedlung durch die Bachmuschel, die bereits im zweiten Jahr nach dessen Verlegung begonnen haben muss. Insgesamt wird dort von einem neu begründeten (Teil-)Bestand in der Größenordnung von rd. 800 Individuen der Altersklassen 1-5 Jahre für das Jahr 2020 ausgegangen. Weitere Maßnahmen werden vorgeschlagen, die sich auch auf angrenzende Bachabschnitte beziehen. Dies stellt einen Zwischenstand dar. Die Untersuchungen werden sich mindestens bis zum Jahr 2024 erstrecken.

Mobile Marketing
Authors: Melo Ricardo
Published: May 2022

Em 2011, Luke Wroblewski defendeu, com o seu livro Mobile First (Wroblewski, 2011), a ideia de que os dispositivos móveis deverão ser os dispositivos prioritários para o design e desenvolvimento de websites, aplicações, e outros produtos digitais. Uma posição verdadeiramente presciente de Wroblewski, pois em 2011 apenas 6% do tráfego web mundial era através de dispositivos móveis. Dez anos depois, estudos colocam esse valor acima dos 55%. No entanto, tráfego web é apenas parte das mudanças sofridas na forma como utilizamos e acedemos a conteúdo digital. Dispositivos móveis (particularmente telemóveis ou smartphones) alteraram os nossos comportamentos significativamente. Os dispositivos móveis não só são mais utilizados que computadores desktop por uma larga margem (média 155 minutos diários vs 37 minutos), mas são também os dispositivos mais utilizados para consumir média, com exceção do televisor. A mesma mudança de paradigma é visível nas vendas online, um campo mais resistente à mudança, pois os utilizadores, tradicionalmente, preferiam efetuar as suas compras em frente a um computador. Números de 2020 mostram-nos que mais de metade das compras online foram através de dispositivos móveis (56% vs 44% das compras feitas por computador). Estas alterações nos hábitos e comportamentos dos utilizadores são indicativos do poder transformativo dos dispositivos móveis e da necessidade, tal como Wroblewski indicou há uma decada atrás, de começar a pensar em mobile no desenvolvimento de estratégias e campanhas de marketing. Para tal é, no entanto, necessário definir o que é mobile marketing e o que o caracteriza comparativamente ao marketing digital no geral e o marketing para a Web em particular.

Published: May 2022

Plant species Phytolacca americana (Phytolaccaceae) can be classified as UFP (Unconventional Food Plant); it is used for food and/or medicinal purposes due to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic and anti-arthritic properties; moreover, it is suitable to treat different skin diseases. However, its seeds present integumentary dormancy caused by uneven germination. The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of chemical scarification in sulfuric acid on dormancy overcome in Phytolacca americana (Phytolaccaceae) seeds. Seeds were immersed in 4 ml sulfuric acid, which was concentrated through different immersion times (2, 5, 8, 11 and 15 min), and compared to the control treatment (without sulfuric acid). The study followed a completely randomized design with six treatments and four repetitions, with 50 seeds per treatment. The following parameters were assessed: days to start germination (DSG), germination (G), germination speed index (GSI), abnormal plantlets (AP), dead seeds (DS), hard seeds (HS) and total dry mass (TDM). Data were subjected to Shapiro-Wilk test for variance normality. The analysis of variance and regression were carried out in RStudio software, version 4.1.0. Means recorded for treatments were compared through Tukey test (p ≤ 0.05). The treatment based on immersion in sulfuric acid for 2 min was the most efficient in overcoming dormancy in this species, since it led to the best results for germination variables and total biomass accumulation in plantlets.

Published: May 2022

Drought stress consists of a significant productivity constraint in tomatoes. Two contrasting crosses were performed to estimate physiological and morphological traits in response to drought stress during the vegetative stage, aiming to identify superior genotypes for drought tolerance. Two genotypes (GBT_2037 – sensitive drought-sensitive and GBT_2016 – intermediate drought-tolerant) were used as female parentals, and a commercial hybrid (drought tolerant) was used as a pollen source in both crosses: C1 (GBT_2037 × Commercial hybrid) and C2 (GBT_2016 × Commercial hybrid). The populations of parentals (P), the first generation of descendants (F1), backcrosses (BC), and the second generation of self-pollination (F2) were exposed to drought stress for 20 days when they were analyzed: physiological traits (relative water content of leaves, proline, and relative chlorophyll content) and morphological (plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, fresh and dry matter of roots and shoot and classification by wilt scale). The means of chlorophyll, root/shoot ratio, and water content in leaves for the F2 generation of C2 were higher than C1, indicating that C2 resulted in plants with greater capacity to maintain turgor under conditions of water stress and presented minor damage to the photosynthetic structures, consequently showing greater tolerance to drought stress.
Surface-Active Ionic Liquid-Assisted Cloud Point Extraction for Pre-Concentration and Determination of Cobalt Ions in Pharmaceutical Preparations
Authors: Bamdad Farzad , Habibi Zahra
Published: May 2022

: Herein we describe an efficient, simple, and precise micelle-mediated microextraction strategy based on the aggregation behavior of surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) for the preconcentration and determination of cobalt ions in pharmaceutical preparations. Unlike the commonly used hydrophobic ionic liquids in IL-based microextraction methods, a water-soluble surface-active ionic liquid [1-hexadecyl 3-methylimidazolium chloride (C16MeImCl)] was used. A modified cloud point extraction (CPE) procedure based on the C16MeImCl-Triton X-114 mixed micellar system was proposed as an efficient extracting phase. A comparison of the analytical features of the extraction process with and without SAILs revealed the benefits of the proposed method. Advantages such as a wider linear range, lower detection limit, higher reproducibility, and improved extraction efficiency highlighted the proposed method over the conventional CPE method. These attractive specifications are due to the higher extraction efficiencies achieved in the presence of the SAIL and its favorable effects at the phase separation stage. Various parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized by univariate and multivariate (Box-Behnken design) approaches. The calibration curve was obtained in the optimal experimental conditions with a linear range from 0.01 to 5.5 mg L-1 of cobalt ion concentration (R = 0.9992) and a detection limit of about 0.005 mg L-1. The RSD% for 10 replicate determinations of 1.0 mg L-1 Co was 0.9%. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine cobalt ions in vitamin B12 ampoules and tablets.

Authors: Didehdar Daryoush , Kharazinejad Ameneh
Published: May 2022

Background: Volleyball is a sport with technical elements and explosive power. Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between sprint speed and isokinetic knee strength applied at different angular velocities in male volleyball players. Methods: This study was conducted on 15 volunteer male volleyball players (age; 17 - 25 years, height; 1.75 + 0.12 m). Isomedx 2002 isokinetic dynamometer is employed to measure the isokinetic strength, and a 20 m sprint test is conducted to measure the speed. In measuring knee flexion and isokinetic extension strength, quadriceps and hamstring concentric/eccocentric are measured separately on both legs at 60°/sec angular velocity for three repetitions, at 180°/sec for six repetitions, and at 300°/sec for nine repetitions. For statistical analysis, the Spearman’s correlation test was performed using SPSS 18.0 (SPSS Inc., USA) software. Results: The highest torque value in subjects was recorded on both sides at 60°/sec angular velocity, 180 and 300 degrees, respectively, were lower. There was no significant relationship between speed and isokinetic strength at different angular velocities. Conclusions: Based on our results, the highest peak torque in volleyball players was found to be at 60°/sec angular velocity while no significant correlation was found between isokinetic strength of the knee at different angular velocities and speed of volleyball players.
Authenticity Beyond the Anthropocene
Authors: Shuttleworth Kyle Michael James ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: May 2022

In this paper, an ecologically extended ethic of authenticity is developed in dialogue with the Norwegian environmentalist Arne Naess and the Japanese ethicist Watsuji Tetsurō. More specifically, Naess’s concept of Self-realization is supplemented and supported with Watsuji’s ethic of authenticity (本来性) and phenomenology of climate (風土). And the ecological potential of Watsuji’s thought is realized in relation to Naess’s ideas of human responsibility and symbiosis. After establishing an ecologically extended ethic of authenticity, the practical application of this concept is then demonstrated in relation to satoyama and the preservation of nature in Japan. Whilst the intended outcome is to develop an ecologically extended ethic of authenticity, a secondary aim is to illustrate the benefit and importance of cross-cultural dialogue to advance philosophical thought and understanding.
Perceptions of Abraham’s Attempted Sacrifice of Isaac in the Latin Philosophical Tradition, the Sunnī Exegetical Tradition, and by Ibn ʿArabī
Authors: Lala Ismail ,   Journal of Islamic Philosophy
Published: May 2022

Kierkegaard raises many issues in his account of the near sacri­fice of Isaac by his father. Responding to and critiquing Hegelian and Kantian depictions of Abraham, Kierkegaard moves to elevate Abraham into a position as a knight of faith. The Sunnī perception of the incident in the exegetical tradition is far more ethically unequivocal than that of the Latin philosophical tradi­tion. The ubiquitous Sufi theorist, Ibn ʿArabī, however, in a single act of interpretive ingenuity, managed to extirpate the central root of contention raised by the philosophers when he alleges that Abraham was only ever commanded to sacrifice a ram. Despite his abiding commitment to spiritual unveiling (kashf) and his insistence on the personal nature of God, Ibn ʿArabī advo­cates the employment of a Kantian criterion of universal ratio­nality to adjudicate between literal and metaphorical dreams.
A review of Atlantic deep-water species in the genus Talassia (Caenogastropoda, Vanikoridae)
Authors: Hoffman Leon , Freiwald André
Published: May 2022

A review was done on all species of the genus Talassia (family Vanikoridae Gray, 1840), which are known from an upper bathyal depth range in the Atlantic Ocean. Four new species are proposed: Talassia mexicana sp. nov. from the Gulf of Mexico, T. laevapex sp. nov. and T. flexisculpta sp. nov. from off Mauritania and T. rugosa sp. nov. from off Angola. Empty shells of the new species were found in sediment samples collected in habitats associated with deep-water corals. The new species were compared with the type species Talassia coriacea (Manzoni, 1868) and the deep-water species T. tenuisculpta (R.B. Watson, 1873), T. dagueneti (de Folin, 1873) and T. sandersoni (A.E. Verrill, 1884). Particularly the shape and sculpture of the protoconch show regional differences. Other specific characteristics are macro- and micro-sculpture of the teleoconch.

Background: Across the world, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) deficiency is a major health problem associated with many chronic diseases in the geriatric population. Prior to this study, there were no data regarding 25-OHD levels among individuals over the age of 65 in Turkey. The aim of this study was to assess 25-OHD levels and seasonal variations in these values among people over the age of 65 in Turkey. Methods: This study included vitamin D measurements taken in 2016, 2017, and 2018 from the Turkish population over the age of 65. The age, gender, and seasonal average data of the study population were defined. The study data were obtained from the database of the Ministry of Health, and a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess the distribution of the data. Medians and interquartile ranges (IQRs) were calculated for all categories, as the data were nonparametric. Results: The number of vitamin D measurements taken from the geriatric individuals included in this study was 305,329 for 2016, 576,452 for 2017, and 752,837 for 2018. The medians and IQRs of the 25-OHD levels in this population were 16 mg/L (IQR 7.45-24.55 mg/L) for 2016, 16.1 mg/L (IQR 7.8-24.4 mg/L) for 2017, and 16.4 mg/L (IQR 8.95-23.85 mg/L) for 2018. Conclusions: While the 25-OHD levels of older men tended to increase during the period of seasonal sunlight in Turkey, this variability was observed in elderly women. This suggests that older women tend to live more sedentary lives and have insufficient sun exposure. Overall, the median 25-OHD levels of individuals over the age of 65 tended to decrease each year.
