A CLASS OF THIRD-ORDER BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM WITH INTEGRAL CONDITION AT RESONANCE
Authors: NOUREDDİNE Bouteraa 
Published: November 2020

In this paper, we consider third-order boundary value problem
with, Dirichlet, Neumann and integral conditions at resonance case, where the
kernel’s dimension of the ordinary differential operator is equal to one and the
ordinary differential equation which can be written as the abstract equation
Lu = Nu, called semilinear form, where L is a linear Fredholm operator of
index zero, and N is a nonlinear operator. First, we prove a priori estimates,
and then we use Mawhin’s coincidence degree theory to deduce the existence
of solutions. One important ingredient to be able to apply this abstract results
(Mawhin’s coincidence degree theory) is proving the Fredholm property of the
operator L. An example is also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the
main results

with integral condition at
resonance case

The existence of solution is
etablished via Mawhin's coincidence degree theory. The results are illustrated with an example.

El presente es un análisis sobre la investigación denominada “Nosotros Somos Puro Trabajo. Capitalismo, Trabajo y Cambio Sociocultural, en Chinconcuac de Juárez, Estado de México”. La investigación planteó un conjunto de objetivos para entender, cómo estos sujetos habían generado estrategias de sobrevivencia, qué procesos históricos determinaron su situación actual y como adoptaron su cultura a los cambios, manteniendo su unidad territorial. El análisis se hizo con herramientas de la antropología encaminando a la interpretación de lo que dijeron los sujetos y de la realidad construida a través de los diarios de campo, dando así una explicación o construcción creativa de los posibles significados. Se pudo concluir que la estratificación social existía desde la época prehispánica, sin embargo, sufrió serias transformaciones a partir de que se modificó el medio de producción que podríamos denominar asiático o tributario y que consolidó un régimen de producción hacendaría. Las comunidades campesinas se constituyeron como espacios de una simple estratificación en donde por un lado se encontraban los caciques indígenas y por el otro los pobladores.

Published: November 2020

Background. Cholesterol is an important biomolecule for cells. However, because of certain lifestyle, theamount of cholesterol can increase beyond what our bodies can consume. Increased intake may result in theaccumulation of cholesterol in the blood leading to atherosclerosis that can lead to congestive heart failure.With the use of statins, cholesterol levels are reduced therefore lowering the risk for this disease. It does so byinhibiting the hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the first committed enzyme in cholesterolbiosynthesis. In light of the increasing cases of hypercholesterolemia, there is a need to discover novel classesof HMG-CoA inhibitors.
Objective. The primary objective of this study was to screen extracts of leaf-associated fungi for their capacityto inhibit hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the first committed enzyme in cholesterolbiosynthesis.
Methods. Eight (8) plants were sampled for the fungal epiphytes and endophytes on their leaves. The fungalisolates were identified by sequencing the internal transcribed region (ITS) of the 18S rDNA. All fungal isolates werecultured in 20 flasks containing 300 mL potato dextrose broth at 30°C for 14 days. The culture broths were thensubjected to reduction in volume using a rotary evaporator. HMG-CoA reductase inhibition assay was carried outusing the ethyl acetate extracts from the culture broths. Reagent grade pravastatin was used as the positive control.
Results. There were a total of sixty-six (66) fungal taxa that were tested for their capacity to inhibit the enzymeHMG-CoA reductase. Of the 50 that tested positive, there were 25 families represented and 5 isolates were ofuncertain status taxonomically (incertae sedis). There were also nine classes that were represented and the class withthe most number of isolates was Sordariomycetes. The highest percentage inhibition was observed in Pestalotiopsislespedezae with 65.01 % inhibition. The other fungi with notable inhibitory activities were Colletotrichum cymbidiicola(64.16%) and Schizophyllum commune (57.85%).
Conclusions. This study may be the first report of production of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in the genusColletotrichum and in the other leaf-associated fungal taxa that tested positive for HMG-CoA reductase inhibition.It is therefore very promising that a novel statin compound, or even a new class of substances with antihypercholesterolemic bioactivity may be discovered from these leaf-associated fungal isolates. The crude extractsof these fungi are prime candidates for downstream fractionation for the subsequent isolation and structureelucidation of the bioactive compound.

Objectives. This study aimed to analyze if the indicator 72-hours Unplanned Return Visits after EmergencyDepartment (ED) index discharge was influenced by the patient’s age, triage severity, month, payment methods,and length of stay. Likewise, it aimed to determine if the 72-hour Unplanned Return Visits was a robust indicator inassessing the quality of Emergency Department services.
Methods. This was a retrospective single-center study from January to December 2017. Data were retrievedfrom a tertiary hospital in the Philippines. All Emergency Department patients discharged on their index visitwere monitored for Unplanned Return Visits within 72 hours in the hospital. A univariate and multivariate logisticregression model was used to assess the variables associated with the 72-hour Unplanned Return Visits.
Results. The 72-hour Unplanned Return Visits rate was measured at 2.67%, with the highest occurrence on thefirst 24 hours, and with predominance on third-party payer (p.<.0001), pediatrics (p.<0001), January (p<.0001),February (p<.0001), November (p<.0001), December (p<0001), and shorter length of stay (p<.0001) dischargedafter ED index visit.
Conclusions. Strong association of Unplanned Return Visits during the first 72 hours after Emergency Departmentindex discharge was found for patients financed through third party-payers, with seasonal variations andinclination to the younger population with shorter length of stay. These findings warrant exploratory studies todetermine the reasons for the 72-hour Unplanned Return Visits after Emergency Department index discharge andinvestigation on the association of premature discharge, socio-economic, health structure, and illness progression.

Objective. This study aims to determine recurrence and complication rates among patients who underwent threecurrent pterygium treatment techniques: preoperative subpterygeal injection of mitomycin C, intraoperativeapplication of mitomycin with pterygium excision and pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft.
Methods. This is a randomized controlled clinical trial in a tertiary hospital. We included patients with diagnosedprimary pterygium and who underwent either: A = pre-operative injection of 0.02% mitomycin C one month prior topterygium excision; B = pterygium excision with intraoperative mitomycin C application; or C = pterygium excisionwith conjunctival autograft.
Results. We included 111 patients: a total of 120 eyes randomized to 3 groups (A, B, C) at 40 eyes per group.After 24 months of follow-up, there was no significant difference in the recurrence rates among the groups (6/40[15%] in groups A and B and 2/40 cases [5%] in group C; P=0.29). No complications were noted in groups B and C,while 1 case of scleral thinning was noted in group A. There was no significant difference in the complication ratesamong the three procedures (P=1.00).
Conclusion. There were no significant differences in the recurrence and complication rates among the three techniques. Careful patient selection and follow-up are recommended to prevent complications such as scleral thinning.

Kinetics of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) reactions with isoprene-derived Criegee intermediates studied with direct UV absorption
Authors: Kuo Mei-Tsan , Weber Isabelle , Fittschen Christa , Vereecken Luc , Lin Jim Jr-Min 
Published: November 2020

Abstract. Criegee intermediates (CIs) are formed in the ozonolysis
of unsaturated hydrocarbons and play a role in atmospheric chemistry as a
non-photolytic OH source or a strong oxidant. Using a relative rate method
in an ozonolysis experiment, Newland et al. (2015) reported high reactivity of isoprene-derived Criegee
intermediates towards dimethyl sulfide (DMS) relative to that towards
SO2 with the ratio of the rate coefficients kDMS+CI/kSO2+CI = 3.5 ± 1.8. Here we reinvestigated the kinetics of DMS reactions
with two major Criegee intermediates formed in isoprene ozonolysis,
CH2OO, and methyl vinyl ketone oxide (MVKO). The individual CI was
prepared following the reported photolytic method with suitable (diiodo)
precursors in the presence of O2. The concentration of CH2OO or
MVKO was monitored directly in real time through their intense UV–visible
absorption. Our results indicate the reactions of DMS with CH2OO and
MVKO are both very slow; the upper limits of the rate coefficients are 4
orders of magnitude smaller than the rate coefficient reported by Newland et al. (2015) These
results suggest that the ozonolysis experiment could be complicated such
that interpretation should be careful and these CIs would not oxidize
atmospheric DMS at any substantial level.
Interaction Among Social, Cultural and Environmental Factors in Vernacular Settlements. The Case of Korogonianika, in Lakonia, Greece
Authors: Tousi Evgenia 
Published: November 2020

The article presents the main findings of a research focusing on the unique attributes of vernacular architectural heritage of Southern Greece. Sustainable vernacular architectural solutions and contemporary challenges are presented so as to put in the forefront a timely issue that needs addressing. The peril of absolute desolation and the unnecessary interventions put not only in jeopardy the value of architectural heritage but also hinder socio-spatial cohesion and sustainability. The analysis of the crucial issues is based on literature review and field work. Field work involves original cartographic depiction, photos, drawings as well as participant observation and interviews. The production of space is being studied as a result of the interaction between social and environmental factors. This interaction is portrayed through the use of a pilot case study, the village Korogonianika which is a typical and representative example for all vernacular settlements of eastern Mani.

El objetivo del estudio fue comparar la fiabilidad de la velocidad media propulsiva (VMP) entre tres variantes del ejercicio de press de banca (PB). Quince hombres con experiencia y 15 sin experiencia con el ejercicio de PB realizaron en orden aleatorizado tres variantes del ejercicio de PB en diferentes sesiones (sólo-concéntrico, excéntrico-rápido y excéntrico-controlado). La VMP se registró ante tres cargas (≈ 30%1RM, 50%1RM y 75%1RM) con un transductor lineal de velocidad. La fiabilidad fue siempre alta (coeficiente de variación [CV] ≤ 5,76%, coeficiente de correlación intraclase [CCI] ≥ 0,74). La comparación de los CV reveló una mayor fiabilidad para las variantes sólo-concéntrico y excéntrico-rápido en comparación con la variante excéntrico-controlado (CV ratio > 1,15), no existiendo diferencias significativas en fiabilidad entre las variantes sólo-concéntrico y excéntrico-rápido (CV ratio < 1,15). No se observaron diferencias en fiabilidad entre los participantes con (CV ≤ 5,76%; CCI ≥ 0,83) y sin experiencia (CV ≤ 5,21%; CCI ≥ 0,74). Estos resultados apoyan el uso de las modalidades de PB sólo-concéntrico y excéntrico-rápido para evaluar la fuerza de los miembros superiores a través de la medición de la velocidad de ejecución en participantes con y sin experiencia con el ejercicio de PB.
La Scouine couine : poétique de l’a-parole dans le roman d’Albert Laberge
Authors: Godin Louis-Daniel 
Published: November 2020

« Aucun des personnages du roman ne possède les mots pour exprimer la souffrance [de sa] vie », écrivent les auteurs de L’histoire de la littérature québécoise à propos des personnages de La Scouine d’Albert Laberge (M. Biron, F. Dumont, É. Nardout-Lafarge, Boréal, 2007, p. 208). L’ignorance de la langue est une thématique privilégiée dans la littérature québécoise, qui s’est prolongée de différentes manières au fil du xxe siècle, notamment grâce à une abondance de narrateurs enfants engendrant leur propre langage, rêvant d’union incestueuse ou de retour au paradis perdu de l’enfance. Cette insistante thématique est souvent considérée comme le signe d’une immaturité nationale à dépasser. Nous défendons la thèse inverse : le désir littéraire de révéler les origines du langage n’est pas synonyme d’immaturité lorsqu’il est assumé par une complexe élaboration poétique. Il relève alors d’un savoir-faire, ce que La Scouine d’Albert Laberge nous permet de démontrer. Nous proposons une hypothèse nouvelle sur la signification du titre de ce classique de la littérature québécoise. Cette analyse de la poétique du roman engage également une réflexion sur le nom propre et les rapports du sujet au langage qui a pour cadre le savoir de la psychanalyse.

Published: November 2020

Background
Monitoring the reproduction number (Rt) of the disease could help determine whether there is sustained transmission in a population, but areas with similar epidemic trends could have different transmission dynamics given the risk from imported cases varied across regions. In this study, we examined the Rt of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by taking different dynamics of imported cases into account and compared the transmissibility of COVID-19 at different intervention periods in Hangzhou and Shenzhen.

Methods
We obtained the daily aggregated counts of laboratory-confirmed imported and local cases of COVID-19 infections in Hangzhou and Shenzhen from January 1 to March 13, 2020. Daily Rt and piecewise Rt before and after Wuhan lockdown were estimated, accounting for imported cases.

Results
Since the epidemic of COVID-19 in Shenzhen was dominated by imported cases, Rt was around 0.1 to 0.7 before the Wuhan lockdown. After the lockdown of Wuhan and the initialization of measures in response to the outbreak, local transmission was well-controlled as indicated by a low estimated value of piecewise Rt, 0.15 (95% CI [0.09–0.21]). On the contrary, Rt obtained for Hangzhou ranged from 1.2 to 4.9 with a piecewise Rt of 2.55 (95% CI [2.13–2.97]) before the lockdown of Wuhan due to the surge in local cases. Because of the Wuhan lockdown and other outbreak response measures, Rt dropped below unity in mid-February.

Conclusions
Even though Shenzhen had more cases than Hangzhou, local transmission did not sustain probably due to limited transmission from imported cases owing to the reduction in local susceptibles as residents left the city during Chunyun. The lockdown measures and local outbreak responses helped reduce the local transmissibility.

Published: November 2020

School-Based Management (SBM) is implemented with the principles of independence, cooperation, participation, openness and school accountability; however, the application of SBM in each school is different. SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Kalasan Sleman Yogyakarta is one of the schools implementing SBM. This phenomenon has prompted research on the implementation of school-based Management at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Kalasan Sleman Yogyakarta. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of school independence, the level of school cooperation, the form of stakeholder participation, the level of school openness, and the level of school accountability in the application of school-based Management at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Kalasan.
We used a non-experimental quantitative research method with a descriptive approach to explore the implementation of school-based Management at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Kalasan Sleman Yogyakarta . Participants in this study consisted of 40 people. The data collection process was carried out through questionnaires, interviews and documentation.
The results showed that the implementation of school-based Management at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Kalasan was in a suitable category as indicated by; (1) school independence has been running well (2) school cooperation, namely cooperation between school members and with parties outside the school is well established (3) forms of participation of stakeholders (government, community, and school residents), namely in the form of financial support, material support/facilities, thought support, and personnel support in good category; (4) school openness has been running well, and (5) school accountability has gone well by providing responsibility for the process and results of program implementation as well as school finances to school members, school committees, foundations and the government. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested for other schools in Indonesia that implement school-based management to make school independence, school cooperation, and the ability of schools to increase community participation as the foundation for implementing school-based management to build better school quality.
Solving Ordinary Differential Equation of Higher Order by Adomian Decomposition Method
Authors: Othman Sumayah Ghaleb , Hasan Yahya Qaid 
Published: November 2020

Aims/ Objectives: In this article, we use Adomian Decomposition method (ADM) for solving initial value problems in the higher order ordinary differential equations. Many researchers have used the ADM in order to find convergent as well as exact solutions of different types of equations. Therefore, the ADM is considered as an effective and successful method for solving differential equations. In this paper, we presented some suggested amendments to the ADM by using a new differential operator in order to find solutions for higher order types of equations. We demonstrated the effectiveness of this method through many examples and we find out that we get an approximate solutions using the proposed amendments. We can conclude that the suggested modification of ADM is afftective and produces reliable results.
