Environmental and Socio- Economic Impact of Wastewater in Wadi- Qana Drainage Basin- Salfeet- Palestine
Authors: Naser Shawkat , Ghanem Marwan Ghaleb 
Published: December 2018

This study discussed the social- economic and environmental impacts of wastewater on Qana drainage basin. This study has been accomplished through carrying out biological and physio-chemical characterization for water samples from various springs in Qana valley in order to specify the quality of the springs’ water. Moreover, the socio-economic effects of wastewater on the population in the study area were discussed. The study was relied mainly on using the analytical field methodology to analyse the samples of the springs water. It also used the applied quantitative methodology to check the results of the questionnaire that was distributed between the farmers in Qana valley. The study has found that the flowing wastewater from the Israeli settlements that lie in the study area is regarded as the main source in polluting the underground water in the basin. The results also revealed that 84% of the population of the Palestinian villages that lie in Qana basin use open septic tanks in getting rid of their wastewater then draining it in the nearby valleys which in turn increased the percentage of pollution. Moreover, results also pointed that 82% of Qana valley population has left their homes in Qana valley to the nearby villages because of the spread of bad smells in the valley. The results also revealed that 45.5% of Qana valley farmers have stopped planting their agricultural lands because of wastewater which in turn lowers the percentage of agricultural production. The analyses showed that all the springs in the study area are biologically polluted by the bacteria which is regarded as an indicator wastewater pollution. The chemical analyses also revealed that all elements lie within the allowed limits according to the World Health Organization except iron which exceeded the allowed limits in Al-Fawwar and Al-Maasser springs which indicates the pollution of these springs.

Bu çalışmada binaların rezonans periyot aralıklarını saptamak
için zemin yapı arasındaki hakim periyot ilişkisi incelenmiştir. (0.2 ile 2) saniye arasındaki bina, T ve zemin
hakim periyotlarının, TZ, oluşturdukları rezonans bölgelerini
saptamak için sinyal analizi uygulanmıştır. Zemin sınıflaması için deprem
rezonans bölgesi etkinlik eğrileri elde
edilmiştir. Deprem rezonans bölgesi etkinlik
eğrilerinin dönüm noktaları karakteristik periyot olarak tanımlanmıştır.
Sinyal analizine göre, T= (0.5-1.5)TZ saniyeler arasındaki zemin periyodu aralığı
bina kat adedi rezonans risk bölgesi olmaktadır. Bina doğal periyodu ve kat
adedi veya bina yüksekliği arasındaki ilişkiler kullanarak zemin hakim periyodu
ile değişen rezonans bölgesi kat adetleri eğrileri elde edilmiştir. Aynı özellikleri kullanarak
bina rijitlik özellikleri ile değişen rezonans bölgesi kat adetleri eğrileri de
elde edilmiştir. Bina kat adedi
rezonans risk bölgesi saptamasında; 1-Rijitlik kot değerine göre
uygulama, 2- Bina kot yüksekliği ve farklı rijitlik değerlerine göre uygulama,
3-Eski binaların zemin-bina rezonans ilişkilerinin denetimleri için uygulama
örnekleri verilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, zemin hakim periyodu bilindiğinde,
tasarlanan bina yüksekliği kat adedi rezonans bölgesi eğrilerinden pratik
olarak saptanabilmektedir. Bu uygulama depremlerde zemin yapı etkileşimini
tahmin etmek için basitleştirilmiş yararlı bir yöntem olmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu
çalışmada deprem zemin hakim periyodu hesabında farklı katman kalınlığı
kullanımları ve bina deprem rezonansı ilişkisi üzerine farklı yaklaşımlar
tartışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, zemin hakim periyodu hesaplanması için, zemin

Introduction of the specialty 12.00.12 “Forensic Expert Activity” will promote the development of forensic expert research technologies and contribute to the implementation of specialized training of highly qualified scientific personnel in the Republic of Belarus. Problems with the organization of master’s degree programs are identified, and the need to create specialized dissertation councils for the specialty “forensic expert activity” with the involvement of foreign scientists is demonstrated.
A General System of Basic Principles for Classification of Forensic Examination Methodologies
Authors: Krestovnikov O. A. , Koldin V. Ya. 
Published: December 2018

The paper summarizes the problem of classification of forensic examination methodologies and outlines its basic principles. It argues that a viable system of forensic examination methodologies cannot be informed by the discipline-based and/or method-based principles alone, and neither by that of specialization and integration of expert knowledge. It is shown that forensic examination methodologies should be classified not as systems of knowledge, but as types (systems) of activity based in particular systems of knowledge.

Relectura filosófica intercultural de la obra de José Manuel Peramás
Authors: Bonilla Alcira Beatriz 
Published: December 2018

El “Descubrimiento” de América y las reacciones provocadas por el encuentro de los europeos con un “otro” que nunca había tenido cabida en su imaginario dan origen a la utopía y el ensayo. La utopía comienza con el libellus homónimo de Thomas More (1516), y se corresponden con este género tanto el texto De administratione guaranitica comparate ad Republicam Platonis commentarius, de José Manuel Peramás (1791), como el “sacro experimento” referido en él. Desde un locus enuntiationis filosófico intercultural, se realizan algunas consideraciones sobre la significación que el género utópico tuvo en y para América, y una relectura analítica, breve por fuerza, de la obra mencionada, con el objeto de mostrar los límites de la interculturalidad realizada bajo condiciones asimétricas.

Authors: GÜVEN Zühre Canay , SERARSLAN Meral 
Published: December 2018

It can be claimed that the representations of femininity and masculinity in the cinema reinforce the dominant masculine discourse. Not only representations of femininity and masculinity, but also another dimension of the sovereign discourse about Eastern / Western societies in mainstream cinema. While East is depicted as powerful hegemonic, East is represented as a place that needs to be civilized. Furthermore, East is associated with femininity and the West with masculinity in the dominant discourse of the cinema. The film, M. Butterfly, reverses this hierarchical discourse formally. M. Butterfly was examined through the question of what power/identity is through taking into consideration of this reversed discourse of East/West and feminity/masculinity. The ambiguity of meaning was emphasized while questioning hegemony of West in this article. Moreover it was also aimed to analyze what forms of counter hegemony are while mentioning ambiguity of construction. The suicide of protagonist in M. Butterfly which is inspired of Madam Butterfly opera, was also taken into consideration while questioning what identity and gender are. This article is qualitative and deconstructive analysis was uses in the analysis of the film as a text. It was found that no structures were ultimately constructed in the film, and that the established structures were constantly changing.

PHARMACOLOGIC TOPOISOMERASE-I INHIBITION CAUSES DNA DAMAGE AND MORTALITY IN ACTIVATED CD4+ T CELLS
Authors: Stanić Mia , Luca Shytaj Iart , Lusic Marina 
Published: December 2018

Topoisomerase-I is required for DNA replication. It acts by preventing torsional stress caused by DNA winding during replication fork progression. Topoisomerase-I inhibitors are widely used in many cancer therapies, in light of their anti-proliferative activity. However, their use as chemotherapeutics is associated with significant toxicity due to the off-target effects on healthy cells. We analyzed the dose-time-toxicity profile of a clinically employed topoisomerase-I inhibitor, i.e. topotecan, on primary CD4+T cells. This cell type was chosen to model a typical in-vivo interaction, due to the wide use of topotecan in the treatment of T-cell lymphomas. Our results show that a clinically achievable concentration of topotecan can induce toxic effects in healthy CD4+ T cells as early as 7 hours of the in vitro treatment. Toxicity of the drug was markedly increased by prolonging the post-treatment follow-up, but not by increasing concentrations, suggesting that clinical doses of topotecan can induce cell death and DNA damage in non-cancerous activated CD4+ T lymphocytes.

Antifungal, antimicrobial, insecticidal and antioxidant activities of Origanum vulgare L. provide the basis for suggesting that oregano plant extracts may be useful for prevention and treatment of infections. The main goal of this study was to determine antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of methanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves and flowers of O. vulgare. Antimicrobial testing of plant extracts was done using well diffusion method. Activity of extracts was tested against Gram positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ATCC 33591, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and five Gram-negative bacteria: Salmonella abony ATCC 6017, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis ATCC 31194, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 and fungus Candida albicans ATCC 1023. Antibiotic ampicillin and antimycotic nystatin were used as positive control. The antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. The highest values for inhibition zone for methanolic and aqueous extracts were recorded for Gram positive B. subtilis, S. aureus and MRSA. Methanolic extracts exhibited antibacterial activity against tested Gram negative bacteria in variable degree while the growth of these bacteria was not inhibited by aqueous extracts. Tested fungus C. albicans was not sensitive to investigated oregano extracts. All the extracts showed moderate to potent antioxidant activity with methanolic flower extract demonstrating the strongest antioxidative activity with the IC50 value of 0.205 mg/mL. Therefore it can be concluded that flower and leaf oregano extracts have significant antibacterial and antioxidant potential.
