Breaking Open ‘Civil Society’: Sukumbasi And the City
Authors: Ninglekhu Sabin 
Published: December 2021

This article is an ethnographic account of strategies mobilised by sukumbasi (squatter communities) in Kathmandu to meet basic needs such as water and electricity and for claiming landownership rights and citizenship. Particular attention is paid to their organizing practices, the building of solidarity and establishing of linkages which, the author finds, are not dissimilar to those of ‘mainstream’ civil society groups. This observation, in turn, allow the author to highlight the conceptual binaries (such as formal-informal, professionalunprofessional, with the first element of the pair associated with civil society) serving to define ‘civil society’ in Nepal and their exclusionary character. It is suggested that the concept of civil society be broadened so as to include groups, such as the sukumbasi, which do not currently fit neatly into civil society definitions in Nepal.

Published: December 2021

Gorontalo is a transit city for foreign tourists that will continue their trip to Togean islands, or for tourists coming from Togean islands that will continue the trip to Manado, Makassar, or Jakarta. Foreign tourists who opt to transit in Gorontalo prefer non-star hotels as their accommodation option. This study aimed to analyze the guest’ needs from five kinds of dimension, i.e., tangible dimension, empathy dimension, reliability dimension, responsiveness dimension, and assurance Dimension. The present study integrated a qualitative and a simple quantitative method as the research design. The data were directly collected by field observation; questionnaires distributed to the tourists were employed to collect the main data, while the supporting data were extracted by interview and documentation. As based on the findings, the backpackers’ needs for basic tangible goods involve food three times a day, a heat pump water heater, and laundry service. In accommodating the needs, the hotels can cooperate with third parties, particularly regarding food three times a day and laundry service. Moreover, the intangible service-oriented needs comprise empathy, reliability, responsiveness, and assurance. As based on the questionnaire, the respondents showed good responses and suggested improvements in several aspects, particularly on the intangible needs.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the climatic conditions predicted for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and the capacity for repeated maximum effort (RSA), of soccer players. Twenty-four semi-professional soccer players participated in the study. The exercise test consisted of ten 6-second maximal efforts on a cycloergometer. A 90-second passive rest interval was used. Mechanical parameters were recorded in each repetition, and biochemical parameters at rest and even repetitions. The test was performed in a Weiss Technik WK-26 climate chamber under two different conditions: (1) thermoneutral (TNC - 20.5 °C; 58.7% humidity); (2) predicted for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar (QSC - 28.5 ± 1.92 °C; 58.7 ± 8.64% humidity). Significantly higher mean maximum power values were recorded in the second repetition under QSC conditions (1731,8 ± 214,4 W) (p = 0.025). A significantly longer time to reach maximum power was also recorded under TNC conditions compared to QSC conditions in repetition 2 (1,32 ± 0,33 s), (1,05 ± 0,29 s) (p = 0.016) and 6 (1,41 ± 0,48 s), (1,17 ± 0,25) (p = 0.036). There was a significantly higher rate of power loss, between repetition 2 (p = 0.023) and 4 (p = 0.043) under QSC conditions, compared to TNC. Considering the biochemical parameters, a significantly higher pO2 concentration was registered under QSC conditions in the 10th repetition (p = 0.006). The ambient temperature during exercise should be taken into account to determine the anaerobic exercise capacity of the athletes. At higher temperatures, there is a greater capacity for maximal effort, in terms of maximal power achieved, but with a greater decrease in performance.
A taxonomic outline of the Poecilimon affinis complex (Orthoptera) using the geometric morphometric approach
Authors: Kociński Maciej , Grzywacz Beata , Hristov Georgi , Chobanov Dragan 
Published: December 2021

The genus Poecilimon contains 145 species, widely distributed in the Palaearctic, among which the Poecilimon ornatus group has the greatest diversity in the Balkans. Despite several revisions of the genus, the systematics of the species group, and in particular, of the taxa associated with the species Poecilimon affinis, is still unsolved. Due to morphological similarity, P. affinis with its subspecies, P. nonveilleri and P. pseudornatus form the Poecilimon affinis complex. The aim of this study is to test the hypotheses of an outlined species complex, namely the P. affinis complex, within the P. ornatus group using morphological data. Geometric analysis was conducted to explore variation in the structure of the male tegmen, ovipositor, male cercus, and male pronotum. The number of teeth and stridulatory file measurements provided additional information on morphological variation within the complex. A phylogenetic tree based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) was used for comparison with the morphological data. Canonical variate analysis showed that male tegmen and male cercus are good morphostructures to distinguish the taxa belonging to the P. affinis complex from other species in the P. ornatus group. This may confirm our assumption for the designation of the P. affinis complex. The results of the principal component analysis of stridulatory file measurements, molecular data, and CVA of the ovipositor suggest adding two additional species to the complex: P. ornatus and P. hoelzeli.
A Time Series Model on the Occurrence of COVID-19 Pandemic in Nigeria
Authors: Kuhe David Adugh , Atsua Ikughur Jonathan 
Published: December 2021

Coronaviruses belong to a large family of viruses which affect the hepatic, gastrointestinal, neurological and respiratory systems. The increase in the daily number of COVID-19 conﬁrmed and deaths cases from different countries of the world has brought social, economic and political activities to a standstill, affecting individuals, government, public and private sectors. In this study, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) time series model for modeling and forecasting daily confirmed, recovered, and deaths cases of COVID-19 in Nigeria was used with data on daily cases of confirmed, recovered and deaths due to COVID-19 in Nigeria from 27/02/2020-31/07/2020 obtained from Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) website. The data from 27/02/2020-16/07/2020 were used for model building while 15 observations from 17/07/2020-31/07/2020 were used for training and forecast evaluations. Time plots and Dickey-Fuller Generalized Least Squares unit root test were used to investigate the stationarity properties of the data. Schwarz Information Criterion (SIC) in conjunction with log likelihood were used to search for optimal ARIMA models while Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) was used for forecast evaluation. Results showed that all the study variables were differenced stationary and hence integrated of order one, I (1). ARIMA (2,1,4), ARIMA (2,1,2) and ARIMA (2,1,3) models were selected as the best candidates for modeling and forecasting the confirmed, recovered and deaths cases of COVID-19 in Nigeria respectively. The study found an approximate COVID-19 life cycle of 12 days among the infected population. The 15 days’ forecasts from ARIMA (2,1,4) and ARIMA (2,1,2) models showed increases in the daily number of confirmed and recovered cases of COVID-19 in Nigeria. The forecasts from ARIMA (2,1,3) model however showed fluctuating trend with decline in the number of deaths cases due to the disease. The result of the study further showed that improving on the present approach to treatment will further decrease the number of casualties due to COVID-19 in Nigeria.

Authors: David S. Alwin , Subramanian P. 
Published: December 2021

Aims: To determine the antibacterial activity of CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs) synthesized by Justicia adhatoda leaf extract.
Study Design: Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity determination of CuO NPs.
Place and Duration of Study: PG and Research Department of Chemistry, V.O.Chidambaram College, Tuticorin, Tamilnadu, India, between April 2019 and April 2020.
Methodology: CuO NPs were synthesised using Justicia adhatoda leaf extract. UV-Visible spectroscopy was used to characterize CuO NPs. The role of biomolecules in plant extract in the formation of the CuO NPs was identified using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The particle size and lattice properties of CuO NPs were determined using XRD. The surface morphology of CuO NPs was studied using SEM. The presence of Cu and O in CuO NPs was confirmed using EDAX analysis. Bacterial antimicrobial activity was investigated.
Results: An absorbance band at 285 nm in the UV–visible spectrum clearly revealed the formation of CuO NPs. In the FTIR, CuO NPs had a distinct absorption peak at 608 cm-1, confirming metal–oxygen stretching in Cu-O nanostructures. The presence of crystalline CuO NPs was confirmed by XRD patterns, and they were found to be spherical in shape with a size range of 23.21–37.57 nm, as evidenced by FESEM. The biosynthesized CuO NPs exhibited a strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacillus cereus bacteria.
Conclusion: Justicia adhatoda leaf extract mediated CuO NPs have shown significant antibacterial activity and they are considered potent antibacterial agents.

Purpose: Xerostomia is a feeling of dry mouth and may result in poor oral hygiene, dental caries, mucosal lesions and burning mouth syndrome. Medication, systemic diseases and stress are common etiological factors of xerostomia. The present study investigated the prevalence of xerostomia and explored the possible risk factors associa­ted with this condition among Saudi population.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 418 participants visiting at Maxillofacial clinic, at secondary care hospital, Riyadh. Demographic data and complete medical history were obtained from participants. All participants were requested to fill the Xerostomia-Inventory (XI) questionnaire. Comparisons between mean scores of XI-inventory and categorical variables like gender, comorbid conditions were made with students t-test or Wilcoxon test. Chi-square or Fischer’s Exact test were used for comparison between categorical variables like gender and responses to XI-items (No/Yes). P value of <0.05 was considered significant. All analysis was done on JMP-version-12.
Results: Total 418-participants with mean age (41.1 ± 12.8 years) were included in the study in which 302-participants (72.2%) were female and 116-participants (27.8%) were male. Xerostomia’s prevalence was 24.7% and it was higher in males (34%) as compared to females (21%). A statistically-significant association was found between xerostomia and participant’s age (P < 0.0001). The participants with systemic illness showed a significantly higher mean Xerostomia Inventory (XI) score as compared to the healthy patients. In our study population common comorbid conditions were hypertension and diabetes.
Conclusion: The prevalence of xerostomia increases with increasing age and it has strong positive co-relation with chronic systemic diseases.
