Authors: Wu Jun , Yang Zhi-Lan 
Published: January 2021

Abstract

Objective
To understand the psychological process of patients with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) and provide references for the psychological management of PHN.

Methods
The objective sampling method was used to conduct semi-structural in-depth interviews on 10 PHN patients, and Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method was used for data analysis.

Results
According to the different pain durations of PHN patients, the patients were divided into three stages and five themes were extracted: the need for strong pain relief, the helpless tolerance of pain, the self-feeling burden, the need for health education, and the positive response to pain.

Conclusions
PHN has complex psychological activities, so it is necessary to pay attention to the psychological process of patients and take effective psychological measures to intervene negative psychology so that patients can actively cope with the pain.

Summary
The cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricius), is recognized as a common insect pest of cowpea worldwide. The present study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal activity of ozone gas against all life stages (egg, larva, pupa and adult) of C. maculatus at a concentration of 600 ppm (1.2 g/ m3) after 6 exposure times of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h under laboratory conditions. The mortality percentages of all life stages were significantly increased with increasing exposure time. Similarly, longer exposure time to ozone caused higher reduction of adult emergence from eggs, larvae and pupae. Treatment with ozone for 5 h caused egg mortality of 72.3%. Total mortality of adults was observed 5 days after treatment with ozone for 0.5 h. Moreover, treatment with ozone for 5 h resulted in 75, 100 and 94.1% reductions in adult emergence from eggs, larvae and pupae, respectively. The results also indicated that the larvae and adults were more susceptible to ozone gas than the eggs and pupae. Based on the findings, ozone showed promising insecticidal activity against all stages of C. maculatus and could be used as potential fumigant for management of this insect.
Rainfall and self-selection patterns in Mexico-US migration
Authors: Li Shan 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
This article studies the role of rainfall in determining the education composition of Mexico-US migration. Emphasizing the relationship between rainfall and migration costs, a revised Roy model indicates that rainfall affects selection on education through not only households’ liquidity constraints but also the comparisons between changes in migration costs and wage differentials at different levels of education. With retrospective data on the migration history of male Mexicans, the empirical analysis shows that the inverted U-shaped relationship between migration probabilities and education is less dispersed with a higher vertex when rainfall decreases, suggesting higher migration costs and reinforced self-selection patterns. The impacts of rainfall on selection and education are stronger for the migrant stock than for migration flows. Studying how rainfall influences migrants’ return decisions provides consistent results.

Abstract
It is a common challenge for the surgeon to detect pathological tissues and determine the resection margin during a minimally invasive surgery. In this study, we present a drop-in sensor probe based on the electrical bioimpedance spectroscopic technology, which can be grasped by a laparoscopic forceps and controlled by the surgeon to inspect suspicious tissue area conveniently. The probe is designed with an optimized electrode and a suitable shape specifically for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Subsequently, a series of ex vivo experiments are carried out with porcine liver tissue for feasibility validation. During the experiments, impedance measured at frequencies from 1 kHz to 2 MHz are collected on both normal tissues and water soaked tissue. In addition, classifiers based on discriminant analysis are developed. The result of the experiment indicate that the sensor probe can be used to measure the impedance of the tissue easily and the developed tissue classifier achieved accuracy of 80% and 100% respectively.

Imiona i derywaty odimienne używane na polskiej Warmii w XIX wieku
Authors: Biolik Maria 
Published: January 2021

The article presents first names and derivatives derived from first names, used in families in Warmia in the 19th century. The material was gathered from the work of W. Barczewski, Kiermasy in Warmia. Names in Warmian families were passed down from generation to generation and given in accordance with family tradition.
The selection of names was scarce. First names were rare in common circulation, more often short names and deminutive-hypocoristic forms created with a small number of formants were used. The number of diminutive or playful female names was limited. These were created by name derivatives: Luca, Jewka, Lucka, Nulka, Baśka, Basia, Barwuchna, Dośka, Waleśka, Elzka, Joanka, Finka, Katrynka, Kaśka, Marychna, and Staśka. Of the male names, Barczewski certified ten names in basic forms: Jakub, Andrzej, Stefan, Klement, Michał, Maciej, Marcin, Joachim, Wojciech, Kazimierz and derivative hypocorrisms and deminutive forms: Janek, Michałek, Maciek, Kuba, Kubal, Kubalek, Kaźnirek, Wojtek, Jędrysek, Józefek, Wiktorek, Frąck, Matys. Respect for adults was expressed through full names, whereas children were addressed with deminutive-hypocorristic forms, and emotionally-oriented forms.
Rola religii w życiu współczesnych społeczeństw w ujęciu przedstawicieli Ośrodka Myśli Politycznej
Authors: Pabich Marek 
Published: January 2021

Artykuł jest poświęcony zagadnieniu roli religii w życiu współczesnych społeczeństw w ujęciu wybranych autorów publikujących w Ośrodku Myśli Politycznej. Religia stanowi dla nich niezbędny dla państwa fundament aksjologiczny, wokół którego możliwe jest zbudowanie wspólnoty obywatelskiej. Zapewnia ona państwu wartości potrzebne do prawidłowego funkcjonowania, których jego instytucje same nie są w stanie wytworzyć. Odniesienie do transcendencji pozwala ponadto na pogłębioną interpretację losów danego społeczeństwa na przestrzeni dziejów. Współcześnie chrześcijaństwo stanowi jedyną liczącą się alternatywę dla dominujących w świecie zachodnim prądów liberalnych. Zapewnia ponadto ciągłość między europejskim dziedzictwem kulturowym a współczesnością. Poglądy omawianych autorów sytuują się w ramach nurtu konserwatywnego.

The purpose of this research to identify the role of gold and government bonds role as safe haven in Indonesian capital market during 2014-2018. In this study we analyze the influence of stock on gold and government return on bear market conditions, using quantile regression. The quantile regression method was used to analyze the data. The result if this study indicated that gold and government bonds cannot play a safe haven consistently throughout the study period due to political conditions, government policies and psychological factors (doubt) from investors. For the following research, researchers should examine more deeply about the factors that influence the loss of the role of safe haven in both investment instruments.
High intensity exercise induced alteration of hematological profile in sedentary post-pubertal boys and girls: A comparative study
Authors: Pal Sangita , Chaki Biswajit , Bandyopadhyay Amit 
Published: January 2021

Objectives:
High-intensity exercise induces intensity dependent leukocytosis due to increased trafficking of white blood cells in circulation and also causes red blood cell (RBC) damage and hemolysis due to osmotic and mechanical stress. The present study was aimed to investigate the high-intensity exercise-induced perturbations of hematological profile in sedentary post-pubertal boys and girls.

Materials and Methods:
Blood samples were collected from sedentary post-pubertal boys (n = 22, age = 16.10 ± 0.74 years) and girls (n = 22, age = 16.04 ± 0.63 years) before and immediately after exercise to assess hematological parameters such as RBC Count, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration (Hb), total leukocyte counts, and differential count.

Results:
Pre- and post-exercise RBC count, Hb and hematocrit had no significant inter-group variation. Pre- and post-exercise hematocrit and Hb were significantly (P < 0.001) higher in post-pubertal boys. Leukocyte count had insignificant intergroup variation before the exercise but it increased significantly (P < 0.001) following exercise in both the groups. Monocytosis and neutrophilia were significantly (P < 0.01) higher in post-pubertal boys. Percentage change in monocyte, eosinophil and basophil did not depict significant inter-group variation while percentage increase in neutrophil was significantly (P < 0.01) higher in boys as compared to girls. Post-exercise absolute lymphocyte count as well as percentage increase in this variable was significantly (P < 0.001) higher in girls as compared to boys. Absolute eosinophil count increased significantly in both the groups but its relative count declined substantially probably due to higher rate of mobilization of lymphocyte and neutrophil. Basophil count was also perturbed following exercise.

Conclusion:
Gender appeared to have insignificant impact on exercise-induced perturbation in hematological profile at post-pubertal stage except for neutrophil and lymphocyte.
Relation of interleukin-17 and high-sensitivity C-reactive proteins with sympathetic reactivity in pre-hypertensive young adult
Authors: Saxena Yogesh , Gupta Rani , Kotwal Aarti , Ojha Archana 
Published: January 2021

Objectives:
Recent studies have shown that both innate and adaptive immunity response contributes to vascular dysfunction by vascular remodelling and later hypertension. Furthermore, the sympathetic activity mediates the vascular dysfunction through pro-inflammatory activity of immune system. In context to insidious onset hypertension, the study was planned to observe the association of immunity with the increased sympathetic activity in pre-hypertensive adults.

Materials and Methods:
Thirty healthy pre-hypertensive (as per JNC VII) non-smokers, non-alcoholic and non-obese male adults volunteers were recruited from the study area. Equal numbers of normotensive controls were taken for comparison. On reporting day, they were subjected to the recording of demographic and anthropometric measurements, hand grip dynamometry and later investigated for serum levels of interleukin-17 (IL-17) and high-sensitivity C-reactive proteins (hsCRP) after written informed consent. The data collected were analysed for differences in mean and association of immune and inflammatory markers with sympathetic activity by statistical tests.

Results:
Significantly higher values of weight, BMI, % BF, visceral fat, resting heart rate and IL-17 and a lower sympathetic reactivity was observed in pre-hypertensive subjects. Values of hsCRP was higher in prehypertensive but was not statistically significant.. IL-17 was a positive significant predictor with 4.7 times (P = 0.02) increase in odds of being pre-hypertensive, whereas sympathetic reactivity was a significant negative predictor (OR = 0.75; P = 0.001). SBP and DBP are both related negatively and significantly (P < 0.05) to the sympathetic reactivity suggesting that blood pressure is related to sympathetic nervous system. Furthermore, the hsCRP is observed to be related positively to the % BF and to only SBP and RHR, complimenting link of adiposity as an inflammatory process to blood pressure. IL-17 levels in blood are observed to be positively and significantly related to DBP.

Conclusion:
Elevated IL-17 levels are significant predictor of pre-hypertension along with lower sympathetic reactivity. No direct association was observed between IL-17 and sympathetic system except with raised DBP. Immune mechanism is part of pathogenesis of increased blood pressure in pre-hypertensive with enhanced baseline sympathetic activity.

Published: January 2021

Introduction. This paper presents the results of a study on the methods for calculating the capacity of level crossings. The purpose of writing this research paper is determine the best methodology for calculating the intervals in the main flows for the prevailing road conditions in the Russian Federation, that a new methodology to calculate capacity adapted to domestic road conditions would be developed in the future.Materials and methods. In recent decades of market relations in the Russian Federation, one can note a rapid increase in motorization in human settlements. The number in 550 vehicles per 1000 people in domestic entities is expected to have been increasde by 2025, which is significantly higher than the current level in European part of the Russian Federation. It is important to note that when the number of vehiclec is increasing, which level is about 80%, it is essential to increase road crossings capacity. Results. At the moment the methodology for calculating capacity and queue length is the same. It should be noted that the current models are not properly described in the domestic studies, but the calculations were made using models developed in the 1960s and 1970s.
Narrating Colonial Silences: Racialized Social Work Educators Unsettling our Settlerhood
Authors: Elkchirid Abdelfettah , Ngo Anh Phung , Kumsa Martha Kuwee 
Published: January 2021

In this paper, three racialized social work educators unsettle our settled colonial silences as acts of self-decolonization and as a way of responding to the call to action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Hailing from the uneven manifestations of global capitalism and coloniality in Morocco, Vietnam, and Ethiopia, we draw on various critical theories to interrogate our unique entanglements with the imperial project of entwined settler colonialism and white supremacy. We narrate our embodied coloniality and how the virulent materiality of global processes of displacement and dispossession plays out in each of our personal stories, everyday encounters, and practices as educators.
With the aim of teaching for social justice by modeling, we share the processes of unsettling our colonial settlerhood and puncturing our racialized innocence. Each story addresses three themes: contact and colonial relations with Indigenous peoples of Canada, complicity in global coloniality, and responsibility in responding to the TRC call to action. The first story provides a broad outline of our struggles with the Indigenous/Settler binary created to perpetuate the various forms of displacement and dispossession in settler colonialism. The second story probes the complexities in the Settler category by engaging difference-making as a central technology of dispossession. The third story probes the complexities in the Indigenous category through interrogating the perils and promises of recognition and reconciliation in the context of global hierarchies of nation-states and global Indigenous resistance. We conclude bymoving beyond our divergent trajectories and offering shared critical remarks on the human rights framework, the nation-state framework, and the coloniality of social work.
The Islamic Injunction on Hijab: The Practice and The Dynamics of The Agitation for The Adoption of The Use of Hijab in The State
Authors: Bello Mufutau Olusola 
Published: January 2021

Ekiti State is one of the States in the South Western part of Nigeria. The dominant religions in the State are Christianity and Islam. Like other parts of the world, there is a strong wave of Islamic revivalism by the Muslims while the Christians are not relenting in their evangelism to draw more people to their fold. One of the expressions of the revivalism by the Muslims is the voluntary adoption of the hijāb by many female Muslims. Consequently, the average female Muslim is a Mājubah of one sort or the other. The state is now faced with teeming number of women who wants to use the hijāb in the Western based schools and the government official work places. Many of them are now faced with either to remove the hijāb because of education or to look for a white collar job in the State while others who want to strictly hold to their faith were making agitations for the use of the hijāb. The paper looks at the concept of hijāb in Islam, the mode of dressing in Ekiti State, its compatibility and the differences with the traditional dressing in the State and the dynamics of the agitation for the adoption of the use of hijāb. The work made use of both primary and secondary sources. Islamic literature, archival materials and pamphlets were consulted while interviews were made with relevant personalities in the state. The result revealed a good approach adopted by the government of Ekiti State in taking care of the agitations of the Muslims on the use of hijab in government official places of work and students in formal public schools. The Ekiti model is therefore suggested to be adapted and adopted by other states in Nigeria where the problem of hijab have snowballed into crises

Published: January 2021

Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi ruang terbuka hijau di kota Makassar oleh Badan Lingkungan Hidup Daerah pada tahun 2015, kota makassar saat ini hanya memiliki RTH sebesar 7,3 % dari luas wilayah kotanya. Kondisi tersebut telah menunjukkan bahwa saat ini Ruang Terbuka Hijau kota Makassar sangat jauh dari 30% sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-undang nomor 26 tahun 2007 tentang proporsi ketersediaan RTH adalah paling sedikit 30% dari luas wilayah kota. Sehingga kita bisa memanfaatkan lahan-lahan non pemerintah atau lahan privat yang masih kosong dan luas serta berpotensi untuk menjadi RTH perkotaan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan Ruang Terbuka Hijau di kota Makassar sehingga kota Makassar menjadi kota yang Hijau dan Asri. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survei dengan analisis dan sintesis yang mengarah kepada perencanaan untuk strategi peningkatan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengembangan RTH di Kota Makassar. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kota makassar saat ini memiliki lahan sebesar 35,201% yang berpotensi untuk dijadikan RTH perkotaan dan sebanyak 40% masyarakat setuju untuk berpartisipasi dalam pengembangan RTH di kota Makassar dengan kompensasi dari pemerintah.
