Abstract

The author generalized the theoretical and methodological foundations of macroeconomic stability. The considered monograph analyzes the main scientific and methodological approaches to the interpretation of the concepts of stability, financial stability, and macroeconomic stability. The author interprets the concept of macroeconomic stability in terms of two aspects: first, the balance between the level and growth of key macroeconomic indicators; secondly, it is a process of prevention, elimination of threats to economic growth to meet the growing needs of economic entities in conditions of limited resources and increase the influence of systemically important banks on the financial system functioning. The monograph develops the classification of approaches to understanding the essence of macroeconomic stability, which allowed to distinguish dynamic, equilibrium, functional, efficient, resource, structural-equilibrium, elementary approaches, to describe their essence, advantages, disadvantages, and limitations in application. The methodological basis of the research was the following tools: TOPSIS method, comparative and cluster analysis, principal components method, Arellano-Bond method, Fishburne method; generalized method of moments (GMM), Spearman’s rank correlation method, regression, and statistical analysis. The monograph “Macroeconomic Stability of the National Economy” will be useful for students, teachers, graduate students, and researchers. The monograph proposes methodological principles for assessing macroeconomic stability, which is based on five main indicators of public economic policy (GDP growth rate, unemployment, inflation, external debt, the state budget deficit/surplus). This allows a comprehensive approach to the analysis of achieving the goals of the macroeconomic stability of the national economy. The author has developed a method of assessing the level of social progress in the growth of the national economy, which takes into account the impact of qualitative and quantitative indicators of society and justifies the mutual influence of macroeconomic stability and social progress.

System response curve correction method of runoff error for real-time flood forecast
Authors: Li Qian , Li Caisong , Yu Huanfei , Qian Jinglin , Hu Linlin , Ge Hangjian 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Multiple factors including rainfall and underlying surface conditions make river basin real-time flood forecasting very challenging. It is often necessary to use real-time correction techniques to modify the forecasting results so that they reach satisfactory accuracy. There are many such techniques in use today; however, they tend to have weak physical conceptual basis, relatively short forecast periods, unsatisfactory correction effects, and other problems. The mechanism that affects real-time flood forecasting error is very complicated. The strongest influencing factors corresponding to this mechanism affect the runoff yield of the forecast model. This paper proposes a feedback correction algorithm that traces back to the source of information, namely, modifies the watershed runoff. The runoff yield error is investigated using the principle of least squares estimation. A unit hydrograph is introduced into the real-time flood forecast correction; a feedback correction model that traces back to the source of information. The model is established and verified by comparison with an ideal model. The correction effects of the runoff yield errors are also compared in different ranges. The proposed method shows stronger correction effect and enhanced prediction accuracy than the traditional method. It is also simple in structure and has a clear physical concept without requiring added parameters or forecast period truncation. It is readily applicable in actual river basin flood forecasting scenarios.

Abstract
This study investigated the behaviour of pathogens and microbial indicators during dewatering of sludge from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating real domestic wastewater under tropical conditions. The sludge was dewatered in air-drying beds during wet and dry seasons and was monitored for 90 days. Culture-based methods, direct microscopy identification and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays, were used to evaluate pathogenic and microbiological indicator microorganisms in the sludge. Thermotolerant coliforms and coliphages (somatic and male F-specific) were monitored as bacterial and viral indicators, respectively. Pathogenic organisms monitored included Salmonella spp., Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Enteritidis, pathogenic Escherichia coli strains (intimin-coding genes), Campylobacter jejuni, Cryptosporidium spp., adenovirus, and viable helminths eggs. Results revealed that microbial indicators did not show a significant variation between the dry and wet seasons, as it was verified for some pathogens. During the 90 days of sludge dewatering, the air-drying bed was able to remove microbial indicators and the pathogenic organisms E. coli, S. Typhimurium, and Cryptosporidium spp. (when present). Pathogenic C. jejuni, S. Enteriditis, and adenovirus decreased 0.5–1.7, 0.3–0.4, and 2.6–4.8 log units, respectively. These results highlight the potential of air-drying beds as a simple and low-cost process for sludge dewatering and hygienisation.
Impact of wave action and rainfall on incidence and antibiotic resistance of total coliforms in Southern California beaches

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Coliforms are important bacterial contamination indicators in recreational waters. Little is known about the antibiotic resistance of coliforms from Southern California beaches. This study examined the numbers of coliforms as well as the incidence of antibiotic-resistant coliforms in beaches with restricted and non-restricted wave action by sampling from the shores of both types of beaches following dry and wet weather. Total coliforms were selected by membrane filtration onto mEndo agar and then enumerated. Randomly selected isolates from each location were screened for resistance to nine classes of antibiotics by disk diffusion, and the multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index was calculated. Numbers of total coliforms were significantly higher following rain compared to dry weather. Total coliform numbers were not significantly elevated at non-restricted wave action sites. Restricted wave action sites had a 78.5% increase in MAR index following wet weather compared to dry weather. Resistance to ampicillin was observed in almost 50% of isolates and was not significantly impacted by wave action or weather. Minimum inhibitory concentration testing revealed that many isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin. This study is the first to report on the antibiotic resistance of coliforms found in Southern California beaches and highlights the prevalence of ampicillin resistance.

Abstract
Green remediation is a known technology that uses different types of plants to extract contaminants from the environment. This study aims to remove heavy metals from treated wastewater by using natural growing plants on River Nile banks in Egypt. Secondary treated efﬂuent was collected from West Gerga wastewater treatment plant, located in Sohag city, Egypt. Experiments using two types of aquatic plants were carried out. They were planted individually and in combination with different densities on the secondary treated wastewater surface for 10 days' retention time to remove cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb). It was concluded that both plants have high capabilities to remove heavy metals directly from treated wastewater. The removal efficiency of Cd and Pb was higher when they were planted together than when individually planted. A positive relationship was observed between detention time and heavy metals removal. The removal efficiency of heavy metals increased with the increase of plant density for both plant types. Also, the availability of aquatic plants and their free cost makes their use an economically attractive alternative. In addition, the removal of these plants from River Nile improves the performance of water distribution networks in Egypt.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Loess is a typical natural mineral particle distributed widely around the world, and it is inexpensive, readily accessible, and harmless to the environment. In this study, loess was modified by surface grafting copolymerization of functional monomers, such as acrylic acid, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, and N,N-methylenebisacrylamide as a cross-linking agent, which afforded a novel loess-based grafting copolymer (LC-PAVP). After being characterized by scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, its adsorption capacity and mechanism of removing lead ions (Pb2+) were investigated. With the study of the optimal experimental conditions, it was demonstrated that the removal rate of Pb2+ by LC-PAVP can reach up to 99.49% in 60 min at room temperature. It was also found that the kinetic characteristics of the adsorption capacity due to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the thermodynamics conformed well with the Freundlich model. In summary, as a lost-cost and eco-friendly loess-based adsorbent, LC-PAVP is a good potential material for wastewater treatment.
Minas que pixam
Authors: Firmino Amarante Natalia 
Published: August 2020

O muro é um espaço político. Pixar e graffitar não são apenas atos subversivos, mas serve para perpetuar práticas machistas e misóginas. Em Natal-RN, a prática da pichação e do grafitti foi, por um longo tempo, marcado pela presença dos homens. Entretanto, após o fortalecimento das discussões feministas e a midiatização da cultura hip-hop, cada vez mais mulheres foram ocupando os espaços, usando as tintas e confrontando suas idéias nos lugares que reproduzem um sistema de mortificação dos corpos femininos e afeminados. Entre os anos de 2013 e 2019 desenvolvi um trabalho etnográfico acerca do que chamei de “pixação dissidente” - que se refere a prática de manifestação política - de mulheres - nos muros de Natal/RN. Nesse processo, acompanhei algumas pixadoras e grafiteiras (que também fazem pixo) durante suas práticas e fiz registros fotográficos e filmográficos. Com esse ensaio fotográfico tenho o objetivo de expor essas narrativas visuais sobre como o “gênero” aparece enquanto manifestação artística. Nesse sentido, tintas e muros são elementos utilizados como formas de reagir e dar visibilidades a suas presenças e vozes, tornando acessíveis suas experiências e construções sobre o que é “ser mulher” na cidade.

Introdução: O contexto familiar e social influência nas situações de saúde durante a infância, sendo a orientação familiar um mediador importante entre a família e os profissionais da saúde. Objetivo: avaliar a presença e extensão do atributo orientação familiar sob a ótica dos familiares de crianças inscritas em serviços de puericultura. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo avaliativo, quantitativo, de caráter descritivo, com amostra composta por 186 pais/responsáveis de crianças de 0 à 2 anos dos serviços de puericultura da cidade de Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, utilizando um questionário validado no Brasil denominado PCA Tools, versão para crianças. Resultados: Os resultados mostram que os profissionais não conhecem as famílias (48,9%), incluindo os agravos principais (45,7%), entretanto 79,6% afirmaram que sim a respeito dos antecedentes familiares. Para 63,4% eles não sabem sobre os empregos dos familiares, porém estão cientes sobre a dificuldade para obter recursos financeiros para medicação (47,3%). Referente a conhecerem a ideologia sobre o tratamento e autocuidado, 50,5% acreditam que sim. Conclusão: Embora os serviços de saúde da rede da Atenção Primária à Saúde possibilitem maior aproximação com o usuário dos serviços de saúde, bem como com seu contexto familiar e social e tenham sido responsáveis por grandes avanços na saúde pública, ainda se faz necessário implementação de medidas e estratégias para garantir o cumprimento do atributo orientação familiar.

Authors: De Araújo Pereira Leonara Carla , Flor Taiana Brito Menêzes , Calazans Dinara Leslye Macedo e Silva 
Published: August 2020

Introdução: A contabilidade de custos é uma etapa importante na gestão pública para otimizar os gastos e diminuir desperdícios, representando um indicador de eficiência econômica. Contudo, é uma atividade complexa, onde a maioria dos custos é de difícil obtenção, especialmente em Unidades de alimentação e nutrição (UANs), devido à variação no número de refeições e matéria prima, e indisponibilidade de custos indiretos individualizados. Objetivo: Apresentar uma proposta metodológica para cálculo do custo-refeição em UANs vinculadas a serviços públicos. Método: Esta proposta surgiu de um estudo prático realizado no restaurante da Escola Agrícola de Jundiaí/UFRN. Para a composição do custo-refeição foram observados os componentes dos custos diretos e indiretos. Os preços unitários por material/serviço foram obtidos por meio das atas de licitações e contratos. Resultados: A análise individual de cada componente permitiu verificar a necessidade de estabelecer diretrizes para os custos, obtendo-se os seguintes direcionamentos: gêneros de alimentação – elaboração das fichas técnicas de preparação de, no mínimo, dois cardápios semanais completos e preços por gênero calculados por média ponderada; material de limpeza, telefonia, gás de cozinha e água mineral - análise do gasto trimestral; energia elétrica – análise da potência, tempo e horário de funcionamento de cada equipamento e cálculo do gasto de energia conforme tarifas na “ponta” e “fora da ponta”; despesas com manutenção de equipamentos e instalações, material de expediente e descartável – análise semestral e, todos os cálculos efetuados utilizando a média mensal. Por fim, a partir do custo com gêneros alimentícios foram calculados os pesos de cada refeição e gerada a unidade-refeição, obtendo-se o custo final por meio da soma do custo de cada refeição com o produto de seu peso vezes a unidade-refeição. Conclusões: A presente proposta apresenta uma perspectiva prática e fidedigna para o cálculo de custo-refeição.
Plant Compounds for the Treatment of Diabetes, a Metabolic Disorder: NF-κB as a Therapeutic Target
Authors: Sahukari Ravi , Punabaka Jyothi , Bhasha Shanmugam , Ganjikunta Venkata S. , Ramudu Shanmugam K. , Kesireddy Sathyavelu R. 
Published: August 2020

Background:
The prevalence of diabetes in the world population hás reached 8.8 % and is expected to
rise to 10.4% by 2040. Hence, there is an urgent need for the discovery of drugs against therapeutic targets to
sojourn its prevalence. Previous studies proved that NF-κB serves as a central agent in the development of diabetic
complications.

Objectives:
This review intended to list the natural plant compounds that would act as inhibitors of NF-κB signalling
in different organs under the diabetic condition with their possible mechanism of action.

Methods:
Information on NF-κB, diabetes, natural products, and relation in between them, was gathered from
scientific literature databases such as Pubmed, Medline, Google scholar, Science Direct, Springer, Wiley online
library.

Results and Conclusion:
NF-κB plays a crucial role in the development of diabetic complications because of its
link in the expression of genes that are responsible for organs damage such as kidney, brain, eye, liver, heart,
muscle, endothelium, adipose tissue and pancreas by inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress. Activation of
PPAR-α, SIRT3/1, and FXR through many cascades by plant compounds such as terpenoids, iridoids, flavonoids,
alkaloids, phenols, tannins, carbohydrates, and phytocannabinoids recovers diabetic complications. These compounds
also exhibit the prevention of NF-κB translocation into the nucleus by inhibiting NF-κB activators, such
as VEGFR, RAGE and TLR4 receptors, which in turn, prevent the activation of many genes involved in tissue
damage. Current knowledge on the treatment of diabetes by targeting NF-κB is limited, so future studies would
enlighten accordingly.

Authors: Bamunuarachchi Nilushi I. , Khan Fazlurrahman , Kim Young-Mog 
Published: August 2020

Background:
The treatment of infection caused by pathogenic bacteria becomes one of the
serious concerns globally. The failure in the treatment was found due to the exhibition of multiple resistance
mechanisms against the antimicrobial agents. The emergence of resistant bacterial species has
also been observed due to prolong treatment using conventional antibiotics. To combat these problems,
several alternative strategies have been employed using biological and chemically synthesized compounds
as antibacterial agents. Marine organisms are considered as one of the potential sources for the
isolation of bioactive compounds due to the easily available, cost-effective, and eco-friendly.

Methods:
The online search methodology was adapted for the collection of information related to the antimicrobial properties of marine-derived compounds. These compound has been isolated and purified by different purification techniques, and
their structure also characterized. Furthermore, the antibacterial activities have been reported by using broth microdilution as
well as disc diffusion assays.

Results:
The present review paper describes the antimicrobial effect of diverse secondary metabolites which are isolated and
purified from the different marine organisms. The structural elucidation of each secondary metabolite has also been done in
the present paper, which will help for the in silico designing of the novel and potent antimicrobial compounds.

Conclusion:
A thorough literature search has been made and summarizes the list of antimicrobial compounds that are isolated from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic marine organisms. The information obtained from the present paper will be helpful for the application of marine compounds as antimicrobial agents against different antibiotic-resistant human pathogenic
bacteria.

:
Coumarin, sulphonamide and amide scaffolds exhibit diverse pharmacological features and constitute an
important class of therapeutic agents. In this review, we have discussed the synthesis, biological properties, and SAR of
coumarins containing sulphonamide or amide group in the last seven years. Many reviews on the therapeutic activities of
coumarins, sulphonamides, and amides have been published, hence the authors focused on coumarin-linked sulphonamide
or amide scaffolds. The review provides information on the synthetic route to new coumarins containing sulphonamide or
amide groups with improved pharmacological properties.
Prevalence of the Effects of Anxiety and Depression on People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Analysis of Health Policy Studies in Improving the Quality of Life of Poor Families in the Urban Areas of West Lombok, Indonesia
Authors: Nasirin Chairun , Lionardo Andries 
Published: August 2020

Background:
To explore the tendency of the effects of anxiety and depression that occur in
type 2 diabetes patients, especially poor patients who live in the urban areas with poor economic conditions,
who do not have health access from the government, and live away from the hospitals.

Methods:
It is a cross-sectional study which aimed to determine the number of patients who experienced
anxiety and depression problems due to the declining health conditions caused by diabetes. A
sample size of 98 diabetics experiencing anxiety and depression when the treatment was carried out was
included. The study design included a qualitative study with in-depth interviews with respondents who
were at risk of diabetes, as well as to determine the level of anxiety and depression that occurred when
medical care was provided and the feelings experienced by the respondents after the completion of
treatment.

Results:
Diabetic patients are generally unaware that their illness is a chronic disease that takes a long
time to treat. When the patients are sick, most of them do not immediately go to the hospital or a specialist
to get their health examination and treatment, because the hospital is far from the patients’ residence.
Furthermore, some patients still use traditional medicine and non-medical treatment, so when the
patients with critical conditions are taken to the hospital, they already have chronic diabetes.

Conclusions:
The lack of access to health for chronic patients with poor economic conditions who live
far from the hospitals and the scarcity of medical staff to carry out treatment of chronic diseases such as
diabetes for poor patients in urban areas certainly have an impact on increasing the number of patients
with chronic diseases. Therefore, the government is expected to be able to provide easy health policies
to remote rural communities in order to achieve optimal community welfare and health.
