Sub-National policy readiness as regards the planet’s carrying capacity and environmental sustainability in Kenya
Authors: Muthama Nzioka John 
Published: July 2021

The achievement of global sustainable development goals subject to planetary boundaries will mostly be determined at national and at sub-national level as regards contribution to cultures, economies, material use, and waste generation. This paper seeks to investigate planetary and Kenya’s county boundaries as development targets from a county development plan perspective. The methodology provides an important tool for counties to play a more fulsome and active role in global sustainable development. Content analysis of the nine limits, namely: climate change, novel entities, ozone depletion, aerosol loading, ocean acidification, biogeochemical flows, freshwater use, land-system change, and biosphere integrity, was performed in the context of the respective County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) 2018-2023. A total of 22 CIDPs for 22 counties are analysed to capture the content entailing issues pertaining to the above nine limits. Correlation analysis of the counts of the limits were generated and discussed. It was observed that the CIDPs cover between 30 to 60% of the expected content of the limits. This is a pointer to the extent to which the counties, and hence Kenya as a country, are ready as regards addressing planetary boundaries at local level. Further, correlation analysis on the counts on planetary boundaries versus peace issues revealed positive correlation between biodiversity and peace, with a correlation coefficient of 0.575. It is interesting to observe that the counties having strategies on biodiversity have associate peace initiatives. This is a pointer that promotion of biodiversity conservation is closely relate to peaceful outcomes.

Desire and Curiosity in En Diciembre llegaban las brisas
Authors: Parga Linares Santiago 
Published: July 2021

Marvel Moreno’s En diciembre llegaban las brisas is one of Colombia’s least studied masterpieces. Critical attention on her work has focused on the fraught interaction between female sexuality and patriarchal forces in society. However, while female sexual desire plays a key role in the novel, it is not the most important type of desire in the text. This article analyzes the various types of desire in En diciembre llegaban las brisas. It finds that curiosity (desire for knowledge) plays an essential role in the narrator’s emotional and artistic apprenticeship and is the novel’s structural principle. This understanding of curiosity in terms of desire sheds new light on Moreno’s work and could prove useful in the study of other similarly autobiographical texts.
La inclusión laboral. Un compromiso pendiente hacia la comunidad LGBT+
Authors: Vázquez Parra José Carlos , Arredondo Trapero Florina 
Published: July 2021

A pesar de los avances en las políticas de inclusión en las empresas socialmente responsables, aún está pendiente analizar la manera en que se abordarán las limitantes en el desarrollo de ciertos grupos vulnerables. Se hizo una reflexión, a partir de una metodología de análisis de contenido de informes de responsabilidad social, respecto a las prácticas corporativas que han promovido la inclusión de colaboradores de la comunidad LGBT+. Se ha concluido que, aunque las empresas lleven a cabo actividades o planteen políticas internas, estas no necesariamente son percibidas como herramientas efectivas para difuminar las barreras que han limitado el desarrollo de los colaboradores de este colectivo.

RE-DUÇÃO: DAS CIÊNCIAS DAS RELIGIÕES À UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO FENOMENOLÓGICO-HERMENÊUTICA DO FENÔMENO RELIGIOSO
Authors: Fernandes Marcos Aurélio 
Published: July 2021

este artigo pretende ensaiar um fio condutor para a investigação fenomenológico-hermenêutica da religião. A condução investigativa se propõe como re-dução (retorno às fontes da experiência religiosa). A perspectiva é de um caminho que parte das ciências da religião, especialmente a história e a antropologia das religiões, para uma fenomenologia descritiva, uma fenomenologia essencial e, por fim, uma fenomenologia transcendental do fenômeno religioso. O sagrado é o elemento do fenômeno religioso. É uma região de ser, uma estruturação de sentido, um mundo aberto pelo lógos do fenômeno religioso. Ele abre a dimensão do “nada do mistério”. A fenomenologia hermenêutica, investigando-o, faz-se, por fim, hermética.

Published: July 2021

Distilleries for home fruit growers play an important role in the Slovak spirits industry. They represent from 5% to 15% of the total spirits production in the country. In this paper, businesses with a focus on waste management and its future potential were investigated. The investigated industry creates a significant amount of bio-waste when under 10% of raw materials used for the distillation process are transformed into the final product. The waste production in distilleries for home fruit growers based on the available annual production data was estimated in this research. Based on these estimations, distilleries for home fruit growers produce annually 37,407.07 tons of bio-waste on average. The median distillery produces annually around 211.4 tons of bio-waste. The bio-waste from investigated distilleries is used directly as fertilizer on the arable soil at this time. This option is the cheapest solution for distilleries for home fruit growers. The different reuse options for bio-waste from distilleries were compared. All of them were more expensive compared to direct use of bio-waste as a fertilizer. Due to the higher cost, there is no interest to reuse this significant amount of the bio-waste produced in small distilleries for home fruit growers at this moment.

Published: July 2021

In the 21st century, changes in induced climate can significantly affect the water resources system in the watershed. Understanding climate change disrupts hydrological processes can facilitate sustainable water resource strategies to resilient impacts of global warming. The hydrological response of watersheds will be accelerated by climate change, altering the rainfall, magnitude & timing of runoff, and sediment yield. The study investigates climate change aspects on the hydrological responses using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model interfaced with Geographical Information System (GIS) of Genale Basin, Ethiopia. The calibrated SWAT was applied to simulate the impact of climate, and the SUFI-II algorithm was used for parameter optimization & finalization. The change of climate scenarios was built using the outcomes bias-corrected CORDEX RCM daily precipitation, min/max temperature for Ethiopia under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. The average monthly change of streamflow from −16.47% to 6.58% and − 3.6% to 8.27% under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively (2022–2080). The monthly average sediment yield change was −21.8% to 6.2% and − 5.6% to 4.66% for the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, respectively, over 2022–2080. It implies that the climate change-induced impacts on sediment yield are more significant than streamflow and suggest substantial adaptive management in watershed systems.

In arid region, shelterbelt is the ecological barrier for oasis. Understanding its ecological effects can provide theoretical supports for its long-term management and sustainable development. Two standard meteorological stations were used to monitor climatic factors continuously for 7 years, and two 50 m dust monitoring towers were used to continuously monitor sandstorm for 10 times, which were located inside and outside oasis shelterbelts in the northeastern edge of Ulan Buh Desert. The microclimate differences were analyzed, as well as the ecological effects of oasis shelterbelts was clarified inside and outside oasis. In the present study, under the influence of a large-scale shelterbelts, air temperature, land ground temperature and evaporation respectively decreased 5.13% ~ 24.74%, 2.38% ~ 20.09% and 7.06% ~ 17.68%, whereas the relative humidity and precipitation respectively increased 6.93% ~ 25.53% and 4.30% ~ 50.15%. During the occurrence of sandstorms, the wind speed inside and outside shelterbelt showed an increasing trend with the increase in height. The relationship between wind speed and height was expressed as a power function. The wind direction was mainly W, WNW and NE, but the proportion of each direction was different inside and outside shelterbelt. When the sandstorm passed through oasis shelterbelts, the wind speed was significantly weakened, with an average reduction of 30.68%. The horizontal aeolian sediment flux decreased 414.44 g·m−2 and the aeolian deposition flux decreased 0.81 g·m−2. The results revealed that the microclimate was improved by oasis shelterbelts, especially in the growing season. Therefore, oasis shelterbelts help to maintain the sustainable development of oasis.
Covid 19, humanidade ameaçada e a vontade latente pelo consumo de produtos de moda: o eterno retorno do desejo?

Published: July 2021

Na primeira reabertura comercial pós-lockdown que visou minimizar o contágio da Sars-CoV-2, em várias capitais mundiais, assistimos a tumultuadas cenas de aglomeração causadas por consumidores ansiosos. Eles aguardavam a abertura das lojas de grandes marcas de moda e, como resultado, geraram um relevante faturamento para estas empresas. Embasados no pensamento dos filósofos: Lipovetsky, Deleuze e Foucault, promovemos uma reflexão sobre tal comportamento. Considerando o contexto ameaçador e, naquela altura, a exposição a um risco de proporções ainda desconhecidas, nos questionamos: o que impulsiona essa vontade de consumo? Tratamos da lógica que rege os sistemas capitalista e de moda, cuja relação histórica fez surgir um consumidor desejante. Fugindo do pensamento dicotômico, consideramos que o sistema-razão é uma condição produzida constitutivamente ao sujeito, que tem na cultura de moda sua máxima expressão. Concluimos que, como a cultura de moda é a cultura do Ser, esse foi buscado como um consumo essecial.

Published: July 2021

Potato is a highly perishable crop and storage facilities for the crop are also limited. Consequently, to keep planting materials (seed) from the end of one cropping season to the beginning of another pose a great challenge to growers. This study was conducted during the 2019 cropping season in Pankshin, Plateau state, Northern Guinea savanna zone, Nigeria to compare the performance of whole seed tubers (T1) and slice seed tubers (T2) of potato. The treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), each replicated thrice. Individual plots have a dimension of 3 m x 5 m with distance of 1 m between blocks and 0.5m between plots. Parameters evaluated were rate of plant germination from cultivated tubers, plant height and fresh yield. The data were analysed using T – test. Results showed that there was no significant difference between whole seed potato and sliced tuber seed for all the parameters tested. This study suggests that in areas where seed tubers are scarce, growers should cut there potato seed tubers to enable them have more seeds for planting. Storage facilities should be provided to farmers by government and spirited individuals or groups in order to reduce the high costs of seeds for planting.

Published: July 2021

AbstractUltrasound treatment is an effective method for accelerating chronic wound healing. However, it is not widely used because traditional ultrasonic probes cannot be conformal to the wound surface, which leads to limitations of use and unstable treatment effects. In addition, the use of liquid coupling agent increases the chance of wound infection. A strategy is proposed to design and fabricate a flexible ultrasonic patch for treating chronic wounds effectively. The piezoelectric ceramic in the patch is discretized into several linearly arranged units, which are integrated on a flexible circuit substrate. A thin hydrogel patch is used as both encapsulation and coupling layer to avoid wound infection and ensure the penetration of ultrasound. The ultrasonic patch is soft, light, and can completely conform to the treatment area. Bending of the patch focuses the sound beams on the center of the bending circle, which achieves control of the target treatment area. Ultrasound treatment experiments are carried out on some type‐II diabetic rats. Immunohistochemical (IHC) results indicate that ultrasound accelerates wound healing by activating Rac1 in both dermal and epidermal layers. Treatment results show that wound treated with the ultrasound heals faster than wounds without. The healing time is shortened by ≈40%.

AbstractOncosis, depending on DNA damage and mitochondrial swelling, is an important approach for treating cancer and other diseases. However, little is known about the behavior of mitochondria during oncosis, due to the lack of probes for in situ visual illumination of the mitochondrial membrane and mtDNA. Herein, a mitochondrial lipid and mtDNA dual‐labeled probe, MitoMN, and a continuous add‐on assay, are designed to image the dynamic process of mitochondria in conditions that are unobservable with current mitochondrial probes. Meanwhile, the MitoMN can induce oncosis in a light‐activated manner, which results in the enlargement of mitochondria and the death of cancer cells. Using structured illumination microscopy (SIM), MitoMN‐stained mitochondria with a dual‐color response reveals, for the first time, how swelled mitochondria interacts and fuses with each other for a nonlinear enlargement to accelerate oncosis into an irreversible stage. With this sign of irreversible oncosis revealed by MitoMN, oncosis can be segregated into three stages, including before oncosis, initial oncosis, and accelerated oncosis.

AbstractNanomaterials having enzyme‐like activities are recognized as potentially important self‐therapeutic nanomedicines. Herein, a peroxidase‐like artificial enzyme is developed based on novel biodegradable boron oxynitride (BON) nanostructures for highly efficient and multi‐mode breast cancer therapies. The BON nanozyme catalytically generates cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals, which induce apoptosis of 4T1 cancer cells and significantly reduce the cell viability by 82% in 48 h. In vivo experiment reveals a high potency of the BON nanozyme for breast tumor growth inhibitions by 97% after 14‐day treatment compared with the control, which are 10 times or 1.3 times more effective than the inert or B‐releasing boron nitride (BN) nanospheres, respectively. This work highlights the BON nanozyme and its functional integrations within the BN nanomedicine platform for high‐potency breast cancer therapies.

Published: July 2021

AbstractAll‐inorganic perovskites have been intensively investigated as potential optoelectronic materials because of their excellent thermal stability, especially for CsPbI2Br. Herein, the authors studied the effects of mixed passivation utilizing organic phenylethylammonium bromide and inorganic ionic cesium bromide (PEABr + CsBr) on the all‐inorganic perovskite (CsPbI2Br) solar cells for the first time. The treatment with different passivation mechanisms enhances the perovskite film quality, resulting in uniform surface morphology and compact film with low trap density. Besides, the passivation improves the energy level alignment, which benefits the hole extraction at the perovskite/HTL interface and drives the interface electron separation, suppressing the charge recombination and realizing a high open‐circuit voltage (Voc). Finally, the device represents a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.70%, a Voc of 1.30 V, and an excellent fill factor (FF) of 0.82. The Voc loss and high FF should be among the best values for CsPbI2Br based devices. Furthermore, the treated devices exhibit remarkable long‐term stability with only 8% PCE loss after storing in a glove box for more than 1000 h without encapsulation.

AbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of post‐ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) pancreatitis (PEP) among living donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients and the risk factors that may predispose to PEP. From December 2008 to August 2015, a total of 652 adult LDLT cases were performed at the Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. LDLT recipients with biliary complications undergoing ERCP treatment were recruited in this study. PEP was assessed by using established consensus criteria. Patient‐ and procedure‐related factors were collected and analyzed to investigate the association with PEP. A total of 62 (9.5%) patients developed biliary complications after LDLT and received 223 ERCP procedures. Initial ERCP treatments were successful in 58 (93.5%) patients, and 4 (6.5%) patients failing in biliary cannulation proceeded to rendezvous procedure successfully. Pancreatic duct (PD) injection had the highest incidence (23.5%) of PEP followed by a short interval between LT and ERCP (<12 weeks) (18.5%), creatinine >2 mg/dl (16.6%), initial ERCP (16.1%), precut EST (13.8%), EST (12.9%), and use of prednisone (8.9%). Univariate analysis showed that initial ERCP, precut EST, PD injection, a short interval between LT and ERCP, and use of prednisolone were associated with PEP. However, multivariate analysis revealed that only initial ERCP (OR 17.2, 95% CI 1.9–150.2) and PD injection (OR 5.4, 95% CI 1.2–24.7) were independent risk factors of PEP among LDLT recipients. LDLT recipients undergoing initial ERCP and PD injection of contrast during the procedure are at a high risk to develop PEP. Prophylactic strategies should be adopted especially in this subset of patients.
