Quasi-countable inverse semigroups as metric spaces, and the uniform Roe algebras of locally finite inverse semigroups
Authors: Chung Yeong Chyuan , Martínez Diego , Szakács Nóra 
Published: July 2024

Given any quasi-countable, in particular, any countable inverse semigroup

S

, we introduce a way to equip

S

with a proper and right subinvariant extended metric. This generalizes the notion of proper, right invariant metrics for discrete countable groups. Such a metric is shown to be unique up to bijective coarse equivalence of the semigroup, and hence depends essentially only on

S

. This allows us to unambiguously define the uniform Roe algebra of

S

, which we prove can be realized as a canonical crossed product of

\ell^{\infty}(S)

and

S

. We relate these metrics to the analogous metrics on Hausdorff étale groupoids. Using this setting, we study those inverse semigroups with asymptotic dimension

0

. Generalizing results known for groups, we show that these are precisely the locally finite inverse semigroups and are further characterized by having strongly quasi-diagonal uniform Roe algebras. We show that, unlike in the group case, having a finite uniform Roe algebra is strictly weaker and is characterized by

S

being locally

\mathcal{L}

-finite, and equivalently sparse as a metric space.
MOTHER AND FATHER FIGURATIVE EXPRESSIONS IN ENGLISH, RUSSIAN, AND HEBREW
Authors: Kigel Tali 
Published: July 2024

The paper conducts a lingua-cultural analysis of figurative speech, focusing on idioms, metaphors, proverbs, and sayings that include the words mother/mom and father/dad in English, Russian, and Hebrew. The aim is to explore the concepts of mother and father in these languages. The study resulted in the compilation of tables and statistical data, covering approximately 205 expressions—100 in English, 65 in Russian, and 40 in Hebrew. The research employs descriptive, interpretive, and conceptual methods, as well as an analysis of dictionary definitions. The article delves into several key areas. It examines the quantitative relationship between expressions related to mothers and fathers, highlighting the unique role of parents, particularly mothers, in an individual's life. The study also explores expressions of unconditional and sometimes uncritical maternal love, alongside criticisms of overprotective maternal care in adulthood. Furthermore, it investigates differences in the portrayal of the mother's primary role across the three linguistic cultures and the interchangeability of gender in expressions. In addition, the paper discusses the use of humor, emotional exclamations, and curses involving the word mother as an intensifier, as well as variations in profanity with this word. The sources of these expressions include folk wisdom, Latin sayings, the Tanakh, the Old Testament, and quotes from literary and public figures.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0171/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
Aneurismas da artéria lenticuloestriada: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Silva Ana Clara da Costa , Baptista Millena Amélia Fontes , Nascimento Victor de Souza 
Published: July 2024

Introdução: Aneurismas cerebrais são dilatações anormais dos vasos que aumentam o risco de rotura e consequente hemorragia subaracnoidea; as artérias lenticuloestriadas (ALE), também chamadas artérias centrais anteromediais, são ramos da artéria cerebral média e parte fundamental da irrigação encefálica. Objetivo: uma revisão sistematizada acerca desse acometimento do sistema nervoso central, que impacta a vida dos pacientes e é tema de estudo dentro da medicina atual. Materiais/sujeitos e métodos: Este trabalho parte de um estudo bibliográfico, realizado através de um levantamento nas bases de dados Google Acadêmico e SciELO, além de livros, textos de neurologia, visando entender a potencial gravidade da ruptura dos aneurismas intracranianos, bem como entender a epidemiologia clínica desta patologia. Resultados e discussão: O lobo da ínsula fica “escondido” pela sobreposição dos lobos frontal, parietal e temporal. Para alcançá-lo, pode-se realizar as abordagens transsilviana ou transcortical. Ocorre que ao chegar na ínsula, visualiza-se significativa ramificação constituída pelas artérias lenticuloestriadas, cuja manipulação pode determinar déficit neurológico e, se aprofundar no córtex insular, depara-se com outras estruturas tão importantes quanto a própria ínsula. O conhecimento anatômico das artérias lenticuloestriadas e suas relações é de fundamental importância para a ressecção do glioma insular, pois comprometimento delas e da artéria cerebral média podem determinar a isquemia dos núcleos da base e da cápsula interna. O tratamento dos gliomas insulares permanece como grande desafio. Devido sua localização e possibilidade de desenvolvimento de déficits neurológicos na manipulação cirúrgica é necessário não somente conhecer sua localização topográfica, mas também íntima relação vascular com artérias lenticuloestriadas. Considerações finais: Identificar lacunas no conhecimento e sugerir áreas para futuras pesquisas é essencial. Estudos adicionais são necessários para melhorar a compreensão dos mecanismos subjacentes aos aneurismas lenticuloestriados e para desenvolver abordagens terapêuticas mais eficazes e menos invasivas.
AN APPRASAIL OF THE UNITY OF THE CHURCHES AND ITS RELEVANCE IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Mensah Peter Addai- 
Published: July 2024

Jesus came into the world mainly to proclaim the Reign/Kingdom of God - cf. Mk. 1: 14 - 15. This Reign of God is a mystery. It is beyond human comprehension and understanding. To help us to understand the mysterious nature of the Reign of God, Jesus used images and parables to depict and teach about the inner dynamics of the Reign of God - cf. Matt. 13: 1 ff. According to Jesus, no human being can bring about the Reign of God. It is God who initiates and brings it about. In the course of his ministry, he got some followers who later on grew into the Church. After staying with them, forming them for some time, he sent them on mission. The mission was very specific - to preach about the Reign of God - cf. Matt. 10:1-25. In this article the author discusses among other things: Jesus on unity among his disciples: Unity in the Early church in the Acts of the Apostles: Division in the cause of the History of the Church: The Church and National Development and Efforts towards Unity among the Churches. In this article the author does not use either the qualitative or the quantitative or the mixed methods. Instead the literary approach is used. In other words, library sources are used.
Christian Students' Sexual Behavior and Their Religious Beliefs in Ghana, West Africa
Authors: Dwamenah AnÃºm 
Published: July 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of religiosity among Christian high school students in West Africa.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive's time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Results: The results revealed that there exist conceptual and contextual gaps relating to the study on the influence of religiosity among Christian high school students in West Africa. Preliminary empirical review reveals that 40% of the students had had sex, 58% of whom did not use a condom. The study also found no relationship between religiosity and sexual behaviour of high school students (r=-.322, p>.05). A majority (94.7%) of the students felt that counselling was appropriate in addressing sexual behaviour among them.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Holton's conflict management model, human need theory and reconciliation theory may be used to anchor Christian students' sexual behaviour and religious beliefs. This study's findings may provide insight on the importance of religion in encouraging sexually responsible behavior in young people. The results may suggest that religious adolescence programs are a viable option for guiding young people's sexual behavior. Researchers hope their findings may inspire new approaches to adolescent sexuality counseling that draw on religious belief systems as a resource. The findings of this research could be used by religious authorities to develop programs aimed at teen sexuality in religious settings.

Authors: Pérez Panti Omara , García de la Cruz Rubén , González Hernández Héctor , Sánchez Soto Saúl , Moscoso Ramírez Pedro Antonio , Izquierdo Reyes Francisco 
Published: July 2024

Dismiccoccus brevipes (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) es una de las plagas de mayor importancia de la piña a nivel mundial, no solo por los daños directos que ocasiona, si no por ser trasmisor del virus marchitez roja de la piña. Los hongos entomopatógenos son una alternativa para el manejo de este insecto. En un experimento preliminar se evaluó la patogenicidad y virulencia de dos aislamientos de Beauveria bassiana (BbCT, BbCa) y uno de Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma), sobre la mortalidad de hembras adultas de D. brevipes. Posteriormente, los aislamientos más virulentos y una cepa comercial de Paecelomyces fumosoroceus (PAE-SIN), fueron evaluados en otro experimento en condiciones de laboratorio e invernadero, solos o en combinación con aceite de soya y aceite de neem. Todos los aislamientos evaluados presentan diferente grado de patogenicidad; sin embargo, B. bassiana resultó ser el más patogénico. El aislamiento BbCa a una concentración inicial de 1×107 conidios mL-1 fue más efectivo contra adultos de D. brevipes comparado al control, causando mortalidad del 66% ± 6% a los 8 días pos inoculación a 26 ± 1°C. BbCa presentó la mayor virulencia con una CL50, de 3.45x107 conidios mL-1 y una CL95 de 2.29x108 conidios mL-1, bajo condiciones controladas. Sin embargo, la eficacia se incrementó para BbCa, cuando se combinó con aceite de neem, al causar el 100 % de mortalidad a los 6 días pos inoculación.
Highlights:

The lethal effects ofisolatesofBeauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma) and Paecilomyces fumosoroceus against adult female of brevipes were evaluated both laboratory and greenhouse conditions.
All entomopathogenic fungi tested in this research kill adult females brevipes.
Isolates of bassina were the most virulent against adult females D. brevipes.
Combination of neem oil with entomopathogenic fungi are analternative management tool for this pest.
Nutritional quality of amaranth (Amaranthus) silage in response to forage airing and addition of lactic bacteria
Authors: Zubillaga María Fany , Repupilli Julián Agustín , Boeri Patricia , Servera Juan Agustín , Gallego Juan José , Piñuel Lucrecia 
Published: July 2024

Climate change is reducing forage availability for ruminants. Previous studies in Northern Patagonia, Argentina, have demonstrated the adaptation of the amaranth crop to these agroclimatic conditions under irrigation. Moreover, this crop is used as forage in marginal areas of the world, given its outstanding productive and nutritional qualities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional quality of amaranth silage in response to previous wilting and the addition of lactic acid bacteria. The crop was harvested at the milky grain stage and ensiled in experimental microsilos for 60 days. Before ensiling, different treatments (wilting and addition of lactic acid bacteria) were applied. Parameters related to nutritional quality were evaluated, including ash, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), dry matter digestibility (DMD), and metabolizable energy (ME). Simultaneous treatment with air and the addition of lactic acid bacteria before ensiling resulted in the best nutritional quality characteristics of the silage. The most significant results were protein value of 12.7%, 41.1% NDF and 19.1% FDA. The DM and ME were 74% and 2.67 Mcal/kg, respectively. Thus, amaranth silage can be considered an alternative conserved forage for animal feed in this region.
Highlights:

Amaranth crops as a resilient forage option for regions facing climatic challenges such as northern Patagonia, Argentina.

The dry matter reduction of the ensiled plant material was <1% and the high protein content of amaranth did not affect the ensiling process.

Simultaneous treatment such as wilting and addition of lactic acid bacteria to the plant material prior to ensiling resulted in the best nutritional quality characteristics of the silage obtained.

A synergistic effect was observed among the treatments evaluated, achieving a silage with a digestibility of 74.02% comparable to that of corn silage.
