Regime de informação polifônico
Authors: Ramos Junior Gerson Moreira , Batista Patrícia Veronesi
Published: December 2022

O intuito do presente trabalho é discutir o uso do termo desinformação pelo campo da Ciência da Informação (CI). A palavra, desinformação, passou a ser utilizada nos últimos anos – mais notadamente após a eleição de Donald Trump a presidência dos Estados Unidos da América, cargo que ocupou entre os anos de 2016 a 2020 - para caracterizar um comportamento pautado no compartilhamento de notícias falsas via redes sociais digitais, majoritariamente, e, por meio de técnicas de comunicação que almejam fazer usuários de determinada ferramenta de comunicação, acreditar em uma notícia falsa.  No entanto, julgamos que o emprego do termo não consegue explicar de forma clara como ocorre ou, se é possível, determinarmos via estudos do campo da CI (informação como dimensão física, informação como dimensão cognitiva, informação como dimensão intersubjetiva social) que exista um fenômeno ou um processo que desinforme sujeitos expostos a determinada informação. Julgamos haver uma contradição no termo, que pode contribuir para uma tábula rasa explicativa sobre como se processa a validação de determinados conteúdos informativos, ou seja, sob quais fundamentos éticos, marcos regulatório e práticas consuetudinárias os sujeitos nesta arena digital produzem, se apropriam e disseminam informação.
Ética a nicomano
Authors: Callegari José Antonio
Published: December 2022

Falar-se-á a Nicômano como a um juiz iniciante. Em tempo longíquo, Nicômaco  foi devidamente instruído sobre questões de conduta. Ao juiz iniciante, apresenta-se alguns assuntos de conduta processual, cujas lições analisa-se regras jurídicas para que o juiz não se afaste do senso de justiça, que a tanto aspira, e não confunda a objetividade processual com a subjetividade instrínseca, que ao erro soberbo da injustiça pode levá-lo a subverter o Direito em razão das paixões políticas. Com Levitsky e Ziblatt, introduz-se o tema sobre a cooptação do juiz e, com Habermas, apresenta-se a ética processual, observando o processo como espécie de comunidade jurídica. Dworkin acrescenta algo mais sobre a conduta interpretativa do Direito. Em assuntos de conduta pessoal, Aristóteles alerta que toda ação e toda escolha objetiva um bem qualquer. Logo, em conduta pessoal, não admira prevalecer a subjetividade do agente no exame entre meios e fins. No entanto, em termos de conduta processual, o juiz age em conformidade com bens jurídicos normativamente considerados. Numa palavra, em termos de conduta processual impera a objetividade dos fatos, visando a aplicação imparcial das regras jurídicas, em conformidade com os princípios da dignidade da pessoa humana, em suas inviolabilidades, na presunção de inocência, na ampla defesa, no contraditório e num julgamento imparcial. As considerações finais, ancoradas em observações diretas, na conjuntura brasileira e na literatura referenciada, permitem concluir que a ordem jurídica democrática depente, dentre outros fatores, da conduta ética do juiz.
intolerância religiosa e a teoria do reconhecimento de Honneth
Authors: Andrade Neto Virgílio , Andrade Henrique dos Santos , Menezes Anderson de Alencar
Published: December 2022

O debate em torno das religiões de matrizes africanas no Brasil, não é uma discursão recente, tão pouco algo que se resuma nessa breve pesquisa. A pedra de toque é porque metade da população se diz preta ou parda, sendo considerado o país com mais pretos fora da África. Mesmo sendo maioria, a população preta que segue suas crenças e práticas religiosas ancoradas nas religiões de matrizes africana enfrenta diversas formas de discriminação ou preconceito, mesmo com o direito de culto garantido na própria Constituição Federal do Brasil. Há uma negação generalizada acerca da importância da influência da cultura africana em nossa sociedade, na culinária, na música e principalmente na religião. Esta negação ao reconhecimento, especialmente quanto a religiosidade, se mostra ainda mais agressiva, especialmente quando outras práticas religiosas as associam como algo demoníaco e contrário aos ensinamentos cristãos, em razão, possivelmente, das incorporações (transes) pelos médiuns, da entrega de oferendas para orixás e do trabalho realizado com o orixá Exu. Esta grande dificuldade de reconhecer a importância e o direito de existir das religiões de matrizes se relaciona de forma direta com a ideia central da teoria social crítica de Axel Honneth, que coloca estes conflitos como força impulsora na discussão sobre mudanças sociais que acomodem tais direitos sendo discutidos. Segundo Honneth, a luta dos sujeitos por reconhecimento recíproco da sua identidade provoca uma pressão interna na sociedade para o estabelecimento prático e político de garantias à liberdade

Published: December 2022

Desde seu início, em 2020, a pandemia da Covid-19 acarretou diversos desafios no cotidiano. No campo da educação não foi diferente, pois os educadores precisaram repensar concepções mais amplas da formação continuada. Nesse contexto, o estudo procura analisar os desafios e as possibilidades para a formação continuada de profissionais da educação na perspectiva da autorreflexão colaborativo-crítica. Para isso, fundamenta-se na teoria de Jürgen Habermas por meio de duas concepções: a racionalidade comunicativa e a mediação teoria e práxis. Nesse processo, tomamos os argumentos dos profissionais participantes de grupo de estudo-reflexão a partir de suas demandas, dos processos de aprendizagem e das ações de mudanças. Ações e análises dialogam e sustentam-se entre os referenciais teórico-metodológicos embasando os processos, contemplando a aplicação da espiral autorreflexiva de observação, planejamento, ação e reflexão e o delineamento e teorização das funções mediadoras na relação teoria e prática, quais sejam: elaboração/formação dos teoremas críticos; organização dos processos de conscientização e aprendizagem; e a condução da luta política, seleção das estratégias apropriadas e solução de questões táticas, sendo essas categorias o modo como se organizaram os dados. Como resultados observamos novas possibilidades para formação continuada abarcando mais formandos e ampliando a colaboração entre pesquisadores, além da intenção dos formandos/cursistas de mudar ou transformar suas práticas em ações efetivas em seus lócus de atuação.
Numerical Procedure and its Applications to the Fractional-Order Chaotic System Represented with the Caputo Derivative
Authors: Sene Ndolane
Published: December 2022

This chapter focuses on a numerical procedure and its application to a
fractional-order chaotic system. The numerical scheme will discuss the Lyapunov
exponents for the considered model and characterize the chaos’s nature. We will also
use the numerical scheme to depict the phase portraits of the proposed fractional-order
chaotic system and the bifurcation maps. Note that the bifurcation maps are used to
characterize the influence of the different parameters of our considered fractional
model. The impact of the initial conditions and the coexisting attractors will also be
analyzed. With the coexistence, the new types of attractors will be discovered for our
considered model. To confirm the investigations in this chapter, the proposed model
will be applied to the electrical modeling. Therefore, the circuit schematic of the
considered fractional model will be implemented in real-world problems. And we
notice good agreement between the theoretical results and the results obtained after
Multisim simulations. The stability of the equilibrium points of the presented model
will also be focused on details and will permit us to delimit the chaotic region in
general.

Published: December 2022

Transversal and diverging waves, return flows, propeller induced jet flows,
and other hydrodynamic effects induced by a floating object may cause significant
movement and/or suspension of bottom and bank sediments in the marine
environment, especially in approach channels. Using the CFD (Computational Fluid
Dynamics) process, the hydro-morphodynamic effects induced by a non-powered
floating object navigating in an approach channel are investigated in this study. The
approach channel dimensions depth, width, and channel slope are determined
according to PIANC (2014) [1]. The floating object locations and velocities are used
in nine different scenarios. In these cases, the floating object is 0.90, 1.10, and 1.30
meters from the bottom of the approach channel, respectively. According to the
findings, when the floating object is located nearest to the bottom and its speed is
fastest, there is a significant amount of sediment suspension and sediment movement
in the channel slope, which is mostly attributed to super-critical return flows. When
the floating object is farthest from the channel bottom and the floating object speed is
lowest, however, there is a noticeable reduction in the acceleration and suspension of
the sediment. As a result, the velocity and location of the floating object, channel
slope, the kinematics of ship-generated waves, and particularly the return flows are
found to have a significant impact on sediment movement and suspension.

Abstrak Tubuh manusia selalu menjadi objek penyelidikan yang menarik sepanjang sejarah manusia. Sebagai sebuah topik, tubuh manusia mencakup hampir keseluruhan perhatian dari berbagai bidang ilmu. Faktanya, tubuh manusia telah diperlakukan dari begitu banyak sudut pandang yang berbeda. Studi dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan pendekatan naratif, bertujuan untuk mengambil sintesa tentang konsep tubuh manusia yang dikaji melalui ranah filsafat secara singkat. Keyakinan terhadap pikiran dan kehidupan mental kita menyatu dari otak dan fisik adalah dua hal yang berbeda. Filsafat modern harus menantang fisiologi modern dan mencoba menyatukannya dengan psikologi modern dalam sintesis yang bermanfaat. Upaya ini tentu menjadi tantangan karena harus menghadapi bidang ilmu yang penuh dengan hal tabu. THE CONCEPT OF THE HUMAN BODY: FROM THE VIEW OF PHILOS AND SHOPIAAbstract The human body has always been the interesting object of investigation throughout human history. As a topic, the human body covers all areas of concern from various disciplines. In fact, the human body has been treated from so many different points of view. The study was conducted qualitatively with a narrative approach, aiming to take a synthesis of the human body concept briefly, which was examined through philosophy perspective. Belief in our mind compared with mental toughness built by combination of brain and physical are two main different things. Modern philosophy must challenge modern physiology and try united with modern psychology create useful synthesis. This phenomenon would become challenges because scientist have to face the field of science which is full of taboo.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS PERSPECTIVE OF SISTER CITY: CONCEPT AND PRACTICES
Authors: Putra Reynaldi Mandala
Published: December 2022

International relations is a study that discusses the relationship between actors in the international world. In its development, international relations are no longer dominated by the state as the main actor. International relations developed and expanded so that other actors, such as sub-national actors, emerged. Sub-national actors can include local or regional governments, one of which is the city government. Sister city is one form of international relations carried out by City Government actors. This paper will explain the concept and practice of sister city in International Relations. The concepts/theories used are International Relations and Sister city. While the research method used is descriptive qualitative by using the result of interviews, books, journals, websites and others as a reference. Conceptually, a sister city is a cooperative relationship carried out by two or more City Governments based on their similarities. However, in the practice, based on case studies, the reasons for sister city relationships are not always based on similarities. The practice of sister city relations has been carried out by many cities in the world in various fields. Sister cities also tend to be intertwined for a long time, but not a few have not been implemented effectively or even not running at all.

Актуальність. Дискусія про роль кишкової мікробіоти (КМ) у хворих на цукровий діабет (ЦД) 2 типу розпочалася нещодавно і вимагає ґрунтовних спостережень. Цей виклик стає ще складнішим, особливо у пацієнтів з наявними супутніми захворюваннями, такими як гіпотиреоз і ожиріння, що отримують лікування.
Мета дослідження. Виявити зміни мікробіоти кишківника під впливом метформіну, піоглітазону та левотироксину у пацієнтів з цукровим діабетом 2 типу, надмірною вагою та гіпотиреозом.
Матеріали та методи. Обстежено 36 пацієнтів (19 жінок і 17 чоловіків) віком від 35 до 67 років з індексом маси тіла (ІМТ) 27,73±0,28 кг/м2, у яких вперше діагностували ЦД 2 типу та гіпотиреоз. Пацієнтам призначили дозу левотироксину (25-150 мкг/добу), метформіну (500-2000 мг/добу) та піоглітазону (15-30 мг/добу) згідно індивідуальних потреб до досягнення стану компенсації. Пацієнтів обстежували до і після 6 місяців вищевказаної терапії, перевіряли масу тіла і зріст, лабораторно визначали рівень тиреотропного гормону, вільного тироксину, вільного трийодтироніну, глюкози в крові натщесерце і інсуліну, індексу HOMA-IR, HbA1c, стан КМ оцінювали за рівнями бактерій: Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Lactobacilus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., Bacteroides fragilis, Вacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Akkermansia muciniphila, а також співвідношення Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes.
Результати. Під впливом обраної терапії у всіх пацієнтів досягнуто стан еутиреозу і поліпшення глікемічного профілю. Обстеження КМ на початку терапії показало, що трохи більше половини всієї бактеріальної маси, а саме 51,21%, складають Bacteroidetes, 31,11% – Firmicutes, 5,31% – Actinobacteria, 12,37% – інші типи. Після проведеної терапії та досягнення компенсації це співвідношення змінилося в бік появи більш широкого різноманіття мікробіому за рахунок зменшення частки Bacteroidetes до 41,68 % і збільшення Firmicutes до 36,86 %, Actinobacteria – до 7,24 % і менш чисельних груп бактерій, об'єднаних під загальною групою «інші» – до 14,22 %.
Висновки. Клінічне дослідження вперше виявило специфічні кількісні зміни в структурі кишкової мікробіоти у пацієнтів з надмірною вагою з цукровим діабетом 2 типу та гіпотиреозом після піврічного комплексного лікування. Зі збільшенням вмісту Actinobacteria і групи «інших» кишкова мікробіота продемонструвала зрушення в бік збільшення профілю Firmicutes і суміжного зниження Bacteroidetes. З'ясування впливу кожного з препаратів (метформіну, піоглітазону, левотироксину) на певні культури кишкової мікробіоти є важливими завданнями подальших досліджень з метою встановлення нових патогенетичних зв'язків цукрового діабету 2 типу та гіпотиреозу, а також специфічних маркерів на етапах розвитку цих захворювань та їх компенсації.

Background.  Diabetes mellitus affects almost all body systems, but the most dramatic complications occur in the lower extremities. Diabetic foot syndrome takes the leading position in the list of complications of diabetes mellitus, leading to early disability and mortality.

At present, a new technology - photodynamic therapy  is being intensively developed worldwide. This technique can be used in many different fields of medicine, including purulent surgery.

This study aimed to investigate the possibility of using 5-aminolevulinic acid as an photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy in the complex treatment of chronic wounds in patients with ischemic and mixed forms of diabetic foot syndrome.

Materials and Methods. In 2021, 10 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and ischemic and mixed forms of diabetic foot syndrome of both sexes, aged 52 to 75 years, were observed.  As a preparation for photodynamic therapy, daily dressings with hydrogel were applied (3-5 days). During this period, limb revascularization was performed, the aim of which was to restore the blood flow to the foot, preferably through the anterior or posterior tibial artery. After the restoration of the main blood flow, photodynamic therapy was performed: after sanitation of the wound surface with physiological NaCl solution, Levuderm gel (6% gel phosphate of 5-aminolaevulinic acid) was applied and covered with occlusive dressing for 2 hours, after which the gel remains were removed and irradiation with Korobov photonic matrices "Barva Flex" with 660 nm wave length was carried out. Energy applied to the wound averaged 30-40 J/cm2. The light power density was between 0.1-1.0 W/cm2, and the exposure time varied according to the wound area.

Results. After photodynamic therapy on days 2-3, perifocal oedema decreased. By days 5-7, the quality of granulation and the degree of wound epithelialization significantly improved. The wound healing rate on days5-7 of treatment was 1,58±0,44, and on days 10-12 - 4,72±0,63 (p <0,01). The evaluation of the wound healing rate showed good and satisfactory results: By day 32, the wound in the study group was completely epithelialized in the majority of patients (88.9%).

Conclusions. The method we have developed for treating chronic wounds using photodynamic therapy is pathogenetically feasible and highly effective compared to conventional therapies. Combined light exposure using photosensitizer stimulates the formation of reactive oxygen species, increasing the effect of phagocytic cells, which is manifested in the activation of neutrophil chemotaxis, adhesion, and endocytosis. photodynamic therapy using aminolaevulinic acid as a photosensitizer, enhances molecular mechanisms of intercellular interaction at all stages of primary immunity activation.

Twenty-one chickpea genotypes were tested to evaluate genetic variation in some agronomic traits, heritability and genetic advance. The experiment was conducted in field crops during the 2018 -2019 growing season. A Randomized Complete Block Design (CRD) with three replications was used; data were collected for days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, the height of the first pod from the ground, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, biological yield per plant, seed yield per plant, harvest index and 100-seed weight. Analysis of variance showed a highly significant mean square difference for all traits except the number of pods per plant, harvest index and 100-seed weight. Genotypes (7,18) were more distinctive than the other genotypes in most characteristics. The high value of the genotypic coefficient of variation was found for biological yield per plant (29. 772), seed yield per plant (24.757) and the number of primary branches (24.849). High heritability was recorded for the first pod height from the ground (67.8) and plant height (60.8). High expected genetic advance as a percentage of the mean was estimated for biological yield per plant (41.144), seed yield per plant (39.61), and the number of primary branches per plant (38.382).

Infectious acute diarrhea may be prevented with probiotics; because they make up the majority of the colonic flora in breastfed newborns and are likely to contribute to the lower incidence of diarrhea in this population, Bifidobacteria are particularly appealing as probiotics agents. The present study was designed to identify anaerobic bacteria, especially C. difficile the main reason for dysentery associated with antibiotics. Detect the ability of each ZnoNPs and B. bifidum to inhibit bacterial growth. During the period from March to October 2019, (100) children and adults who came to Salah al-deen hospital in Tikrit city participated in the study under the supervision of a physician. All samples were transported using a carry Blair if late one or two hours after collection and culturing. The collected models were also cultured on Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar, Salmonella Shigella agar, Eosin methylene blue agar, and MacConkey agar. For initiated diagnoses of the Enterobacteriaceae, Blood agar is used to detect beta-hemolytic isolates, recover enteric bacteria other than Enterobacteriaceae, and evaluate the results of oxidase tests. To diagnose bacterium kinds, biochemical reactions and motility tests were used. Impact of ZnoNPs, and B. bifidum antibiotic In vitro. The results of 100 dysentery feces samples were obtained into (60%) samples for males and (40%) for females. Eighty-two positively impacted anaerobically on growth media like Clostridium complicate agar and MacConkey agar (18%) other than bacteria.

In contrast, negative samples revealed 10 (55.56 percent) samples for males and 8 (44.44 percent) samples for females. The same stool samples were taken and cultured on Clostridium difficile agar and MacConkey agar under anaerobic and ideal incubation conditions. 15% and 67% of isolates appeared on MacConkey agar of the total number of samples, while 18% showed negative growth. Finally, Zn NPs showed their ability to inhibit Clostridium complicated segregate lean on the condensation 5 mg/ml, and it caused the inhibitory effect on Clostridium to complicate by 10-22 of the diameter of inhibition. The Inhibition Zone Dimeter ranged from 8 to 25 mm for isolates when condensation was utilized at 2.5 mg/ml.

The Effect of Chicken Gallus gallus (Domestics) feathers on the sorption properties of polyurethane foam
Authors: A. Abdullah Nadhim , A. Hamdi Hamed , Dareb Shaban Abbas
Published: December 2022

A comparative absorption capability analysis was conducted using adapted polyurethane foam as crude oil Sorbents. The used Crude oil has been brought from the west of the Qurna city oil field with A.P.I. equals 22.2- 27. API measures how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water; crude oil's sorption and absorption ratio amounts are investigated. The findings demonstrate that the absorption ratio of fluff feather to wing feather is very distinct. The fluff feather absorbed much more crude oil than the wings.

Moreover, much crude oil absorption causes the three types of feathers to plunge into crude oil. Owing to the disparity of the capillary structures of pure and modified polyurethane and the particular arrangement of the feathers, the absorption of modified polyurethane foam is beyond pure foam. The absorption ratio is saturated at (240-270) % (where the modified foam releases some additional volume of crude oil rather than the saturation ratio). Because of the cross-link density inside the modified foam, the last results were clarified. Also, we analyzed the effect of 10 holes on the absorption ratio in which the absorption is less than the unpinned ratio.

Predominant genetic mutations leading to or predisposing diabetes progress: A Review
Authors: Rabeea Banoon Shaima , Younis Alfathi Mohammed , Shokouhi Mostafavi Seyyed Khalil , Ghasemian Abdolmajid
Published: December 2022

Diabetes mellitus (DM) arises following poor capacity to generate or secrete insulin or insulin resistance; hence insulin production impairment creates the illness. Individuals can control their weight, impulsivity, blood pressure, and blood lipids at the commencement of the disease. A single genetic mutation affects nearly 3% of people with diabetes. Surprisingly, beta cell function is regulated by more than 20 genes. Benefits of genetic diagnosis include improved therapy, better prediction of illness prognosis and progression, genetic counseling, and possibly prevention.

Alpha HNF1 mutations in the early stages may respond to the regimen. Still, most patients need it because they control their blood glucose and will be subject to microvascular or macrovascular complications. In cases where insulin does not control sugar, using low-dose sulfonylureas would be beneficial and lower four times the glucose metabolism of metformin. These patients are susceptible to sulfonylureas and may be treated for years in case of no blood glucose attack complications. The drug will start at one-fourth of the adult dose: MODY1. It is caused by a mutation in the alpha-HNF 4 gene and is relatively uncommon. The same is true, but the threshold for renal excretion is not low, and the incidence of upward alpha-HNF 4 mutations in cases where there is a robust clinical panel for alpha HNF 1 but not confirmed by genetic sequencing should be considered. The disease is also susceptible to sulfonylureas: MODY4 with a mutation in the MODY6 gene, IPF1, with a mutation in MODY7, NeuroD1 is characterized by a carboxy sterilise mutation, which is not common: MODY2. In children and adolescents, an increment in fasting blood glucose of 100 to 150 mg/dl is not typical. The incidence of this condition is usually considered to be type 1 or 2 diabetes, but a large percentage of the above patients are heterozygote individuals, the glucokinase mutations. Specific mutations, including those rare variants in WFS1 and ABCC8 genes, insulin receptor (IR), fructose 6-phosphate aminotransferase (GFPT2), and nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), as well as mouse pancreatic β‐cell lines (Min6 and SJ cells), showed that the HDAC4 variant (p. His227Arg) had been directly linked with T2DM.

BACKGROUND

The aim of the present study is to build machine learning (ML) architectures, exploiting CT radiomics information, and analyze algorithms’ capability to predict over hospitalization stay of patients affected by Covid-19.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the present study is to build machine learning architectures, exploiting CT radiomics information, that is able to predict hospitalization stay of patients affected by Covid-19, since the hospital admission.

METHODS

Original CT lung images of 38 Covid-19 patients underwent two segmentation phases in order to obtain ground glass area of the lung parenchyma. After an isotropic voxel resampling and wavelet and Laplacian of gaussian filtering, 92 intensity and texture radiomics features were extracted. Feature reduction was conducted by applying Last Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) to the radiomic features set. We trained three ML classification algorithms, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) and Random Forest (RF), and validated through 5-fold cross validation technique. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiving operating characteristic were used to evaluate classification performance.

RESULTS

SVM classifier shows the highest average accuracy (92.1%), specificity (96.3%) and sensitivity (81.8%), using the original dimension feature set. Using the reduced dimension feature set (LASSO), RF was able to discriminate better over classes, reaching 94.7% in accuracy, 96.3% in specificity and 90.9% in sensitivity.

CONCLUSIONS

The study shows that radiomic features can be used to build a machine learning framework for predicting patient hospitalization duration. Although some limitations occur, i.e. small size of the sample included, the study represents a relevant attempt for the application of CT radiomics for robust prognostic modeling to support health professionals and hospital management team to a better understand diseases and identification of effective treatment options.

CLINICALTRIAL

The Report-Age protocol study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the IRCCS INRCA, Ancona, Italy (reference number CEINRCA-20008) and registered under the ClinicalTrials.gov database (reference number NCT04348396).

Bacillus thuringiensis is known as a bioinsecticide for controlling taro caterpillar, Spodoptera litura Fab. in cabbage plants. However, Bt. is easily degraded by ultraviolet (UV), so it needs UV protectant. This research aimed to study the synergism of extract of turmeric, moringa, cloves, and red betel as UV protectants for Bt. and to measure the Bt. half lifes. As much as 25 (w/v) of turmeric, moringa, cloves, and red betel extracts was used to make Bt. suspension. The Bt. suspension then was exposed to sunlight for 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days then it was tested againts 25 individuals of 1st larval instar of taro caterpillar and each treatment was using three replicates. Pathogenicity of each formulation was observed by calculating larval mortality up to the 7th day after treatment. The results showed that the highest larval mortality was found in the Bt. formulation added extracts at 0-day exposure. Mortality data for each Bt. treatment. showed a decrease from the treatment of 0 to 28-day exposures. After 28 days of exposure, Bt. without extract addition had a pathogenicity of 15.2%, whereas Bt. with clove extract had pathogenicity about 56.4%, which is higher than those on turmeric, moringa, and red betel. The first half life of Bt. added with clove was 32.3 days, while the second half life was 50.7 days. Based on this research, it can be concluded that clove has synergism affect when applied with Bt.

Larkin’s “Church Going” carefully balances agnostic dissent with an insistence on saving the spirit of tradition which reflects secular Anglicanism
Authors: Singh Prerna
Published: December 2022

Post-world war II England saw a gradual decline in attendance in the churches which reflects a slowdown in overall religious belief of the masses. They rather seemed to be interested in church buildings as they provided them an opportunity to find meaning of their lives and keep their spirit of tradition alive however they were indifferent towards religion as a governing body. Larkin’s “Church Going” (1954), which is his most celebrated religious poem perfectly delineates the mood of the time and portrays the relationship between religion and the then society. The narrator, who is an atheist, describes himself as an “Anglican agnostic” which indicates he is Larkin himself. He attempts to combine agnostic dissent with an effort of preserving tradition. This is a reflection of the ideology of secular Anglicanism wherein the importance of Church remains but that of God seems diminishing. This paper aims to explore these themes and understand Larkin’s perspective of religion in the twentieth century English society.
El cuerpo como un todo y no como una suma de partes: la propuesta holista de Walter B. Cannon
Authors: Ortega Lozano Ramón
Published: December 2022

Este artículo analiza los conceptos filosóficos que hay detrás de la fisiología de Walter B. Cannon. Este fisiólogo tenía una concepción teleológica del organismo. Para poder comprender mejor la naturaleza de las funciones orgánicas, le resultaba muy útil preguntarse por el propósito de los procesos fisiológicos. Su teoría de la emergencia y el concepto de homeostasis son el resultado de este planteamiento. Cannon explicó muchos ejemplos que ilustran procesos teleológicos en el cuerpo humano, aunque encontró mecanismos que parecen carecer de propósito o que van en contra de la salud y la supervivencia. Por tanto, se explicará la concepción holista y teleológica de Cannon y sus aportaciones teóricas a la fisiología.
“Curas vagabundos y aventureros”

Published: December 2022

El presente artículo busca arrojar luz sobre el caso hasta ahora no estudiado del sacerdote corso Giuseppe Maria Orsoni, quien llegó a México en 1839 e hizo creer a muchos que estaba investido de títulos y facultades concedidos por pontífices, y afirmaba mantener estrecho contacto con la Curia romana. Su caso exhibe la escasa información y comunicación entre la Iglesia mexicana y la Santa Sede en ese entonces, hasta el arribo del delegado apostólico Luigi Clementi.
Tradición, deporte, bandera y armas
Authors: Casas Matías Emiliano
Published: December 2022

En los primeros años de la década de 1930, una serie de auspicios políticos erigieron oficialmente al charro como símbolo de México. En paralelo, la charrería alcanzó el estatus de deporte nacional, extendiéndose a diversas regiones del país. En ese periodo fueron creadas numerosas asociaciones charras para promover las prácticas deportivas y la representación simbólica de la tradición nacional basada en el jinete campero. Ellas fueron agentes principales de la propagación de la charrería y su estereotipo. Sus espectáculos impactaban a las comunidades locales y develaban un entramado social que incluía políticos, empresarios, religiosos y militares, entre otros. A través de las memorias, actas y publicaciones periódicas de la Asociación Metropolitana de Charros, se analiza la composición y las relaciones sociales que favorecieron las actividades de esta agrupación en la metrópoli mexicana, en especial las actividades relacionadas con las armas y las letras.
La moralidad y la obediencia
Authors: Santillán Gustavo
Published: December 2022

El artículo aborda el contenido político del discurso moral en la segunda década del siglo XIX en México, poco atendido por la literatura. Este discurso no es una reminiscencia religiosa, como ha sido conceptuado, sino que se articula con la construcción de la obediencia al Estado. Un tópico frecuente es el origen de las virtudes y sus funciones en la sociedad y la institucionalidad. Estas cuestiones están presentes en la opinión pública, el discurso parlamentario y la acción gubernamental, vinculadas a la tolerancia religiosa. Se analiza el proceso de separación entre moral y religión en el periodo 1824-1828 y se propone que el interés en la moral es predominantemente político.

Published: December 2022

Abstract: Technology has redefined agriculture for years, and technological advances have influenced agricultural business in one or more ways. Agriculture is a major occupation in many countries around the world, and as the population grows, the United Nations predicts that it will increase to 9.7 billion by 2050, increasing the country's land by only 4%. Therefore, the pressure on the country will continue to increase. This means that farmers need to do more with less effort. According to the same survey, to feed another 2 billion people, food production needs to be increased by 60%. However, traditional methods are not sufficient to meet this enormous demand. This has led farmers and agricultural business to find new ways to increase production and reduce waste. Increasing populace in the long run ends in expanded farming results. At today`s date farming strategies are stronger the use of generation which include synthetic intelligence which ends up in stronger high-satisfactory of yield. This paper Raises an innovative idea like how to introduce the AI based technologies into the agriculture field for future generation

Published: December 2022

Abstract: A lot of people use tweeter to provide their opinions on various topics including sports, politics, finance, etc. Now the information that generally is present on Twitter does not have any means to check whether the data being twitter is correct or not. So in order to check the authenticity of the data,the data must be classified into true and false. Firstly, the dataset would be created using python by devising the code for the same. The code thus designed would be able to extract the tweets with the amount specified by the user. Hence the CSV would be created. After the creation of the CSV, data pre-processing would be applied to the data such that all the unnecessary data such as emojis, words, and information would be removed automatically, and thus we would receive the tweet without any kind of stop-words. This cleaned data would further be tested and trained with the help of machine learning algorithms. These Machine learning algorithms would generally be used to classify the data according to the domain and provide the user with an authenticated answer whether the tweet is true or not along with its accuracy. This helpsthe userto identify the tweet and thus provide an authenticated answer on which informationto believe and to which we should not
