Persian Medicine “Sahj” in Ulcerative Colitis Remedy: A Before-and-After Cinical Trial
Authors: Rostamani Hamid Reza , Semnani Shahryar , Yousefi Mahdi 
Published: August 2021

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease and its etiology has not fully understood in conventional medicine. It also influences the quality of life as a result of its recurrence and progressive clinical course, then, it has been considered an important public health concern. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of prescription therapy based on the Persian Medicine as a complementary treatment for the mitigation of the symptoms of UC as well as improvement in the disease severity. A total of 30 UC patients with an age range of 15-70 years participated in this clinical trial. They were treated with the “Sahj” capsule containing: Curcuma longa L., Punica granatum L., and Terminalia chebula Retz. for 4 weeks. The “Sahj” capsule was prepared based on the Persian Medicine resources. The bowel frequency at day/night, urgency of defecation, general health, and blood in stool were assessed pre/post intervention and the results were compared before and after the clinical trial. The “Sahj” capsule significantly enhanced the clinical findings. There was a significant increase in simple clinical colitis activity index (SCCAI) score in response to the prescription of the “Sahj” capsule (7.73 ± 1.98 before and 4.30 ± 1.12 after the trial) in which general health condition of patients was increased by 50% after the clinical trial. Bowel frequency at day was remarkably decreased by totally 15 patients with the scores of 1, 2 and 3 were enrolled to score 0. Also, bowel frequency at night was not statically significant (p = 0.267) in spite of 7 patients were improved their score (changed their score from 2 to 1). Urgency of defecation (p 0.003) and blood in stool (p 0.0001) were significantly decreased compared with pre-intervention stage. These findings suggest an appropriate complementary treatment to reduce the symptoms of ulcerative colitis. However, further studies with larger sample size are warranted to assess the efficacy and safety of the “Sahj” capsule in the treatment of UC.
Globalización capitalista: mecanismos de regulación económica y política
Authors: Jiménez William Ortiz 
Published: August 2021

En el artículo se hace un análisis teórico sobre los mecanismos que inciden en las elecciones de gobierno así como la acción colectiva en redes descentralizadas como vías a partir de las cuales los ciudadanos pueden regular las decisiones políticas y, por medio de estas, las decisiones económicas, en el marco de la globalización capitalista. Los mecanismos en torno a la primera vía son analizados con base en la teoría principal-agente, y los referidos a la segunda, a partir de la teoría de redes sociales. En ambos casos, la dificultad radica en la efectiva aplicación de los dispositivos para el logro de los fines propuestos. Sobre estos mecanismos es posible identificar algunas condiciones necesarias para que la acción política ciudadana adquiera efectividad y poder, las cuales están relacionadas con las nuevas dinámicas sociopolíticas.

Authors: Vele Salto Angélica María , Abril González Monica Fernanda , Zalamea Piedra Teresita Silvana , Pinos Vélez Verónica Patricia 
Published: August 2021

En las últimas décadas, la aplicación de líquidos iónicos (LI) como pretratamiento de la biomasa (BM) residual previo a la reacción de hidrólisis, ha demostrado ser un sistema eficiente para mejorar los rendimientos hacia la obtención de monosacáridos. Una mayor recuperación de monosacáridos, se traduce en un mayor rendimiento en la producción de biocombustibles pudiendo volver a esta industria rentable. En este contexto, la presente revisión bibliográfica analiza las características fisicoquímicas, métodos de síntesis, condiciones de disolución con aplicación de variables tales como: relación LI: BM, temperatura y tiempo. Además, se realiza un análisis comparativo de los resultados de procesos de hidrólisis ácida tradicional con respecto a los obtenidos con la aplicación de líquidos iónicos, aumentado en la mayoría de los casos sus rendimientos de reacción. Finalmente, se mencionan algunas técnicas de recuperación y reciclaje, que permitan reducir los costos del proceso, de manera que este sea económicamente rentable.

Entre europa y américa latina: mercedes Rodrigo, psicopedagoga pionera
Authors: Guil Ana , Vera Gil Sara 
Published: August 2021

Partiendo de la hipótesis de la amplia influencia que los trabajos de Mercedes Rodrigo Bellido han tenido en la Psicología y la Pedagogía, tanto española como colombiana, nos dispusimos a llevar a cabo el presente trabajo de investigación. Nuestro objetivo general fue visibilizar la figura de estaautora a través de la revisión de su obra, así como de los escritos que sobre ella han dejado otras autoras, como Fania Herrero, quien elaboró su tesis doctoral en torno a esta psicopedagoga semi-oculta en el pasado. Tras la revisión de los textos seleccionados encontramos que la figura deMercedes Rodrigo Bellido fue especialmente importante para la Psicología colombiana, siendo su mayor contribución la creación del primer programa de formación en Psicología, que pudo extender por toda América Latina. Así mismo, fue artífice de otras muchas importantes contribuciones relacionadas especialmente con la creación de puentes entre la psicopedagogía europea y la española, o con la toma de conciencia de que la Psicología tenía que tener su propio campo de trabajo, ya que sus contenidos venían siendo abordados desde diversas especialidades tales como la Medicina o la Teología. En España, tuvo además un importante papel en los inicios de la Psicología Aplicada. Todas sus estas importantes aportaciones de Mercedes Rodrigo Bellido contrastan con la escasa atención que hastaahora esta eminente psicopedagoga madrileña ha tenido en nuestro campo de conocimiento.

El Discurso Político de Manuel de Salas: Criterios para el Presupuesto Reformista de Chile en el Contexto Independentista Latinoamericano
Authors: Leal Ladrón de Guevara Alejandra 
Published: August 2021

A partir de la heterogeneidad cultural y las necesidades vitales de los pueblos del territorio chileno a principios del siglo XIX, como en todos los reinos de América, existe el anhelo de organizarse como una nación libre (Escobar, 1976).No obstante, priorizando las acciones políticas para ello puede entenderse que la permanencia del Rey de España Fernando VII en el poder pudo ser considerado como un beneficio para el crecimiento económico de Chile. De manera tal, en este estudio se recoge el pensamiento político e ilustrado de Manuel de Salas (1754-1841) y en él se exponen descriptivamente los conceptos de la identidad y la definición de la autonomía política como dos criterios para la institución del gobierno, instaurados a través de la acción de los patriotas en la lucha por la libertad. De igual modo, se analizan los principios que estabilizan al Estado chileno para el autogobierno, en el que Salas sostiene que la estabilidad dependerá de las relaciones comerciales con otros Estados tan solventes como parecía serlo España. En consecuencia, se proyecta que el desarrollo de las acciones de Salas tiene los efectos propios del pensamiento ilustrado, ya que la nación y el Estado van definidos por argumentos inspirados en la Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano (1789), tales como la justicia y la piedad, la seguridad y la dignidad del hombre, medidas por la resistencia y la opresión: los fundamentos valóricos que en el contexto americano movilizaron la revolución.
Miguel Hidalgo: Ilustrado Consumado
Authors: Saladino García Alberto 
Published: August 2021

En este artículo se explica la génesis del proceso independentista en México con base en el análisis del documento mediante el cual Miguel Hidalgo argumentó y justificó su proceder político. Para el efecto, se dilucida la identificación de las ideas ilustradas apropiadas y cultivadas por el padre de la patria mexicana, para explicar su fomento y praxis en su loable propósito de separar a la Nueva España del dominio de la metrópoli, al generar el diseño de la nueva nación fundada en un espacio territorial específico y en el despliegue de una cultura propia para alumbrar la consolidación de la autoconciencia de la comunidad mexicana, aspectos con los cuales se construiría el Estado-nación mexicano.El proceso de análisis consistió en destacar el contexto sociopolítico de la Nueva España y las singularidades de su ambiente de renovación cultural durante los últimos sesenta años de vida virreinal, y con base en ellos, se explica la formación intelectual de Miguel Hidalgo, para luego efectuar la exégesis del texto y contrastar su contenido con los valores propalados por la Ilustración, evidenciando las contradicciones inherentes para corroborar su identificación de ilustrado tal corriente de pensamiento por haber sido capaz de fusionar las expectativas políticas del sector social de los criollos con las ideas del movimiento cultural de la Ilustración y, sobre todo, por haberlas llevado a la práctica al iniciar la lucha independentista desplegando, como ningún otro héroe mexicano, una verdadera praxis revolucionaria.
INFLUENCE OF SERVICE QUALITY ON CUSTOMER LOYALTY THROUGH PERCEIVED RISK, SATISFACTION, AND TRUST IN BRANCHLESS BANKING CUSTOMERS
Authors: Aprilia Nunung Eka 
Published: August 2021

This study examines and analyses the effect of service quality on customer loyalty mediated by perceived risk, satisfaction, and trust variables in branchless banking customers. Today's lifestyle changes are strongly influenced by fintech, which is rapidly developing. There is a need for urban and remote communities to adapt with these changes. However, there are still many uneducated people, especially in remote areas. The method used in this quantitative research was conducted by distributing questionnaires and interviewing of 100 samples of branchless banking customers to explore all information about customers. Data processing was performed by using SEM PLS software. The results showed that service quality has a negative and significant effect on perceived risk; service quality has a positive and significant effect on satisfaction; service quality has a positive and significant effect on trust; perceived risk has a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty; satisfaction negatively and insignificantly affects customer loyalty; and trust has a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty. However, the effect of service quality on customer loyalty through perceived risk is negative and insignificant. Service quality on customer loyalty through satisfaction has a negative and insignificant effect. Meanwhile, the influence of service quality on customer loyalty through trust as a mediator variable is positive and significant.
Keywords: Service quality, perceived risk, satisfaction, trust, customer loyalty, branchless banking.

Authors: Sorkhabi Mahsa Golghasemi , Aghdasinia Hassan , Oskui Fatemeh Notghi , Karimi Afzal , Golizadeh Mortaza 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Simultaneous removal of Cr^3+ and acidic dye from model tannery wastewater was investigated using local nano clay modified by 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) surfactant. X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur analysis (CHNS), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis and pH of zero point charge (pH_ZPC) analyses were carried out for characterization of the adsorbent, and adsorptive properties of the modified clay were investigated by batch experiments. The effects of essential parameters, such as adsorbent dosage, initial solution pH, initial solution concentration, contact time, and temperature, were studied. Maximum adsorption values (99.74% for Cr^3+ and 83.26% for dye) were obtained in the following conditions: pH of 4, initial concentration of 100 mg/L, adsorbent dosage of 15000 mg/L, contact time of 30 min. The effect of contaminants’ concentration was also investigated through response surface methodology (RSM), central composite face-centered (CCF) design and an empirical model was presented. The results of kinetic models’ studies demonstrated that simultaneous adsorption of contaminants follows the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption data of single and binary solutions fitted nonlinearly to isotherm models showed that the adsorption of Cr (III) from binary and single solutions follow Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevitch (D-R) isotherms, respectively. Adsorption of dye from both single and binary solutions follows Redlich- Peterson (R-PT) isotherm. Maximum adsorption capacities were obtained to be 193.1390 mg/g and 144.1782 mg/g for Cr^3+ and dye, respectively. Synergistic and antagonistic adsorptions were observed in binary solutions.
On the occurrence of a less usual rainfall pattern in northeastern Brazil during the 2019 El Niño
Authors: Godoi Victor Azevedo , de Andrade Felipe M. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
El Niño is generally associated with below-average rainfall in northeastern Brazil (NEB). In 2019, however, the opposite rainfall pattern was observed during an El Niño episode. Here, we explore the mechanisms that overwhelmed typical El Niño-related conditions and resulted in above-average rainfall in NEB. We focus on the austral autumn, when El Niño is most related to rainfall anomalies in the region. The analysis of rainfall data from weather stations and the Global Precipitation Climatology Project, upper- and lower-level circulation reanalysis data, sea surface temperature data, outgoing longwave radiation data, and modelled data allowed us to identify that the autumn 2019 heavy rainfall in NEB was likely associated with three combined factors; these are: (1) the weak intensity of the 2019 El Niño; (2) local and remote diabatic heating anomalies, especially over the western South Pacific and tropical South Atlantic, which resulted in anticyclonic and cyclonic circulations in the upper and lower troposphere, respectively, over the tropical South Atlantic; and (3) sub-seasonal atmospheric convection anomalies over the western South Pacific, which reinforced the low-frequency convection signal over that region. This latter factor suggests the influence of the Madden–Julian Oscillation on rainfall in NEB during the first ten days of March. We discuss these mechanisms in detail and provide evidence for their associations with the anomalously heavy rainfall in NEB. Our results may assist in the planning of several crucial activities, such as water resources management and agriculture.
Pros and Cons of Self Driving Vans - A Real Life Motorway Case Study Analysis from Great Britain
Authors: Nandakumar Ramjit 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Given the speculations that autonomous vehicles are sure to take over the transport sectors in the near future, this study micro-simulates the impacts of automating the vehicle VAN using the micro-simulation software AIMSUN in a hypothetical condition. This study analyses the impacts of automation of vans in different levels of automation penetrations with heterogeneous traffic conditions on traffic parameters such as speed and different environmental factors and should only be considered as a case approach with minimal application in the real-world scenario. In this study, the impacts of automation of van in different road characteristics were also analyzed in detail. The study highlights that with an increase in van automation penetrations, traffic parameters speed is positively impacted while negative impacts on environmental conditions are observed. This is mostly because multiple analysis should have been carried out to have a complete understanding of the network.
Tumor Suppressor Functions of miRNA-375 in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma through Inhibition of Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 1 Expression
Authors: Jiayuan Xu , Bangliang Li , Wei Song , Longhe Cao , Chuansai Zhu , Sen Lin 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) development involves many genetic alterations. This study profiled differentially expressed miRNAs and selected miR-375 for further study.Methods: Differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) were screened using online databases and subjected to various analyses. miR-375 mimics with negative control cDNA, and ubiquitin-specific protease 1 (USP1) as well as a vector-only control were transfected into NPC cells for analysis by quantitative PCR, western blotting, wound healing, Transwell, cell viability, flow cytometry, and luciferase gene reporter assays.Results: A total of 308 NPC and 23 normal tissues were analyzed, and 67 DE-miRNAs were identified. Among these, miR-375 was downregulated and miR-21-5p was upregulated. Bioinformatical analysis identified USP1 as a potential target gene of miR-375. Furthermore, miR-375 expression was decreased, whereas USP1 expression was increased in NPC. Increased USP1 expression was associated with poor survival of head and neck cancer patients. The luciferase assay confirmed miR-375 binding to the USP1 3'-untranslated region (UTR), while the transfection experiment confirmed miR-375 expression reduced USP1 expression, and USP1 overexpression reversed the anti-tumor activity of miR-375 in NPC cells, determined by tumor cell migration, invasion, apoptosis, and gene expression. In addition, USP1 overexpression activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling, whereas a selective PI3K inhibitor (S2793) could reverse the effects of USP1 on NPC cells in vitro.Conclusions: This study confirmed decreased miR-375 expression and increased miR-21 expression in NPC tissues. Downregulated miR-375 expression led to USP1 upregulation, which in turn activated PI3K/Akt signaling and promoted NPC cell migration and invasion, but inhibited NPC cell apoptosis.

Authors: Li Xiaoyang , Li Sifeng , Zhang Zhenqi , Huang Dandan 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
BackgroundTo explore the correlation between multiple tumor markers and gastric cancer. MethodsWe selected 268 newly-treated patients with gastric cancer and 209 healthy subjects for correlation research. The detection of multiple tumor markers was based on protein chip, and then the results were statistically analyzed by SPSS. Results(1)We concluded that gastric cancer was significantly related to gender, age, AFP, CEA, CA125, CA199, and CA242 (P＜0.001). After CA199 and CA242 were stratified by gender, the OR of the male was 30.400 and 31.242 respectively, while the OR of the female was 3.424. After CA125 was stratified by age, among patients with gastric cancer over 54 years old, The risk of occurrence in the CA125-positive population was 16.673 times that in CA125-negative patient; and among patients less than or equal to 54 years old, CA125-positive was not a risk factor for gastric cancer(P=0.082); (2)AFP, CEA, CA125, CA199, CA242 in M1 stage were statistically significant compared with M0 stage and control group (P<0.001), but AFP (P=0.045) and CA125 (P=0.752) were not statistically significant compared with M0 stage and control group; (3)The combined detection sensitivity of multiple tumor markers were 41.79%.ConclusionsOur research shows that gastric cancer is associated with age, gender, and the positive of AFP, CEA, CA125, CA199, and CA242. The positive of AFP and CA125 is related to the distant metastasis of gastric cancer; The combined detection of multiple tumor markers can be used for initial screening of gastric cancer to a certain extent.
Sedimentary Environment Analysis of Eocene in Pingtai Area of Qaidam Basin, China
Authors: yun Jiang , Guoqiang Sun , Shile Pan , yetong Wang , shuncong Zhang 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The Pingtai area is a relatively new oil and gas exploration area in Qaidam Basin, China. As one of the most important sandstone reservoir in the Qaidam Basin, Eocene Lulehe Formation and Xiaganchaigou Formation. Based on the petrological characteristics and element geochemistry of core samples, the paleosalinity and paleoclimate changes are discussed. The results show that the clay mineral assemblage of the Lulehe Formation consists of smectite, chlorite, and illite; while the clay minerals in the Xiaganchaigou Formation consist of illite/smectite mixed layer, chlorite, and illite. The paleosalinity calculated using the B content and Sr/Ba and Rb/Sr ratios indicates that the Lulehe Formation was formed in a freshwater environment, and the Xiaganchaigou Formation was formed in alternating brackish water and fresh water environments. The chemical weathering index (CIA), La/Th ratio, and Eu anomaly index indicate that the overall chemical weathering in the Pingtai area was weak, the provenance was relatively stable, and the influence of diagenesis on the clay minerals and the trace element contents was negligible. From the Lulehe Formation to the Xiaganchaigou Formation, the paleoclimate gradually changed from warm and humid to cold with humid-dry seasonal changes, which is consistent with the global decrease in temperature in the Eocene. Moreover, because of the uplift of the Altun Mountain and the global cooling, the rainfall decreased, resulting in the Xiaganchaigou Formation being formed in a higher salinity environment.
