Published: April 2024

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic is the most widely used type of plastic that produces waste and causes various environmental and health problems. The treatment of PET plastic waste with chemically and mechanically recycling approaches still has shortcomings, so biological processing using microorganisms or enzymes has new potential. Two bacterial isolates from the Indonesian Culture Collection of National Research and Innovation Agency (InaCC, BRIN), namely isolate InaCC B538 and InaCC B947, were further observed for their potential in PET plastic degradation. Firstly, both isolates were determined by the molecular marker 16S rDNA. The potential of both isolates was measured with following method: 10 days of degradation using PET and PCL substrates, esterase enzyme activity assay, and observation of the PET plastic surface using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Species identification was performed using DNA sequencing of 16S rDNA. InaCC B538 and InaCC B947 were closely related to Bacillus altitudinis TBMAX41 and Alcaligenes faecalis AN-13, respectively. InaCC B947 isolate has a better potential in degrading PET plastic and PCL with a degradation percentage of 0.32% for PET plastic and 3.22% for PCL film for 10 days, respectively, and esterase activity of 0.06 U/ml; while InaCC B538 did not cause weight loss of PET and 2.49% for PCL, respectively, with esterase activity of 0.04 U/ml. The degradation of PET plastic by the isolates InaCC B947 was able to cause damage to the plastic surface leading to the degradation of PET plastic.

Published: April 2024

Background: Most studies on viral infections among livestock handlers have focused on occupational exposure from inadvertent contact with infected animals. Consequently, little emphasis is given to the effect of their lifestyle on the acquisition of other blood-borne viruses.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and assess risk factors for HIV, HBV and HCV infections among livestock handlers in Ibadan, Nigeria.
Methods: Blood samples were collected from 265 livestock handlers between October 2016 to April 2017 in Ibadan. The samples were tested for the presence of antibodies to HIV and HCV; and surface antigen to HBV using ELISA. Structured questionnaire was administered to collect information on risk factors associated with the transmission of these viruses. Data analysis was carried out using Chi-square test and logistic regression to determine the association between risk factors and predictors of infection (p < 0.05).
Results: Of 265 participants, 11 (4.2%), 29 (10.9%) and 13 (4.9%) individuals tested positive for HIV, HBV and HCV infections respectively. Two (0.8%) of the participants were coinfected with HIV and HBV while 1(0.4%) was coinfected with both HBV and HCV. Individuals who travelled frequently in the course of Livestock trades had a higher rate of HIV infection.
Conclusions: A high Infection with HIV, HBV and HCV is common among the study participants. There is a need for continued surveillance and awareness creation on preventive measures against these viruses.
Keywords: Human immunodeficiency virus; viral hepatitis; slaughterhouse workers.

Nuevas aportaciones sobre el Hospital de Venerables Sacerdotes de Sevilla
Authors: Chillón Raposo David 
Published: April 2024

En 1685 llegó procedente de Palermo a la archidiócesis de Sevilla don Jaime de Palafox y Cardona, permaneciendo en ella como arzobispo de Sevilla hasta el año de su muerte en 1701. Durante su gobierno fueron diversas las devociones personales que calaronprofundamente en la epidermis de Andalucía, destacando entre ellas la del Santísimo Sacramento, la de Santa Teresa de Jesús y la de Santa Rosalía, además de la admiración y respeto que sintió por el sacerdocio. Todas ellas tuvieron una fuerte repercusión en la religiosidad de la Sevilla de finales del siglo XVII y se manifestaron en las diversas expresiones artísticas en la ciudad y en la promoción de edificios dedicados a dichas advocaciones. Este fue el caso de la Casa Hospicio de Venerables Sacerdotes de Sevilla, cuyos trabajos comenzaron bajo la tutela de su antecesor en la mitra hispalense, don Ambrosio Ignacio de Spínola y Guzmán, y siendo terminados bajo el mandato del prelado que cierra el siglo XVII.
La evangelización en el "De unico vocationis modo" de Fray Bartolomé de las Casas
Authors: Valdivia Giménez Ramón 
Published: April 2024

El libro de Bartolomé de Las Casas De unico vocationis modo es un ejercicio de reflexión profunda, riquísima en citas bíblicas, patrísticas, magisteriales y jurídicas que llevan al lector a admitir la tesis de la evangelización pacífica y rechazar la guerra preventiva como medio de evangelizar. En este artículo hemos señalado las condiciones biográficas por las que Las Casas realiza la obra, tras la decisión de hacerse dominico, concluyendo cómo tiene una relación específica en la que demuestra su misión con los indios. Seguidamente analizamos las condiciones históricas de la primerísima evangelización fundante en las Indias y cómo ésta es denunciada por los misioneros dominicos. Esto nos sirve de contraste con el método lascasiano de la evangelización pacífica que es refrendado por una teología tan actual que permite compararla con los principios doctrinales del Vaticano II e incluso puede servir de referencia para la Nueva Evangelización.

La Iglesia moderna en Granada: fin de la reconquista y siglo XVI. Los inicios del inmaculismo
Authors: Peinado Guzmán José Antonio 
Published: April 2024

El estudio analiza los comienzos de la devoción inmaculista en Granada, traída con la conquista de la ciudad y, por tanto, por los Reyes Católicos. La nueva situación generada tras el fin de la época islámica en el antiguo reino nazarí, permitirá que se den una serie de condiciones diferentes en cuanto a la evangelización de dichas tierras. De este modo, a la par que se valoran los puntales donde se va a asentar la cristianización de Granada, se contempla el concepcionismo como un elemento más de ella.

Découvertes archéologiques dans un des plus vieux temples en France
Authors: Barbier Jean-Pierre 
Published: April 2024

L’église luthérienne Saint-Martin de Montbéliard (Doubs) est considérée comme le plus ancien édifice français protestant subsistant encore aujourd’hui du fait de la destruction par le pouvoir royal des grands temples réformés français construits au XVIe siècle. Il est à ce titre un modèle architectural original, se démarquant par son plan basilical du « quadrangle choral réformé » et du plan axial des édifices luthériens nordiques. Des fouilles archéologiques récentes ont permis de découvrir des décors très intéressants datés de 1607 et de 1741. La découverte de cet aménagement originel modifie le regard que l’on porte généralement sur l’architecture protestante française qui ne peut se réduire à celle du XIXe siècle centrée sur la chaire d’enseignement et empreinte d’austérité et de sévérité.
Impact of Financial Regulations on Market Liquidity in Germany
Authors: Keller Lukas 
Published: April 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of financial regulations on market liquidity in Germany.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Financial regulations in Germany impact market liquidity through a complex interplay of factors. While they enhance stability and investor protection, compliance costs and altered trading dynamics may initially hinder liquidity. However, regulatory initiatives driving innovation and global harmonization can ultimately foster a more efficient market environment, benefiting both domestic and international
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Market microstructure theory, information-based theory of liquidity & agency theory may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of financial regulations on market liquidity in Germany. Financial institutions should proactively adapt their trading strategies and liquidity management practices in response to changing regulatory environments. Regulators should adopt a balanced approach to financial regulation, considering both the benefits of market liquidity and the need for stability and investor protection.

Systemic and ocular pressure changes following sympathetic activation in yoga practitioners - A comparative study
Authors: B. Sreenivas Sudha , K.R. Vinitha , C.M. Ramya , Gopi Arun , M.R. Sreenivas , K.R. Jishamol 
Published: April 2024

Introduction and Aim: Blood Pressure (BP), Intraocular Pressure (IOP) and Ocular Perfusion Pressure (OPP) are precursor parameters that lead to development of glaucoma. Under conditions of stress, either physical or psychological origin, there is disturbance of autonomic regulation. This causes increased activation of the sympathetic nervous system which might influence BP and ocular pressures. An altered autonomic balance towards lower sympathetic drive is observed in subjects practicing yoga, but it is not clear whether this adaptation also influences ocular pressures. Our study attempted to analyze variations in BP, IOP and OPP following sympathetic activation in yogic practitioners and non-practitioners of yoga.

Materials and Methods: One hundred and ten subjects aged 18 - 25 years were recruited and categorised into yoga and non-yoga group. Basal BP was recorded using a sphygmomanometer and IOP was recorded using a rebound tonometer. Isometric hand grip (IHG) and Cold pressor test (CPT) were administered one at a time. IOP and BP were recorded immediately following these sympathetic activation tests. Mean arterial pressure and OPP was calculated using standard formula.

Results: Significant increase in the values of pulse, BP, IOP and OPP following sympathetic activation were observed in the non-yoga group which was not noted in the yoga group. Elevation in systemic and ocular pressures following sympathetic activation was less in yoga practitioners. This adrenergic response was greater in the non-yoga group.

Conclusion: Regular yoga practice maintains adequate perfusion of ocular tissues by autoregulation. Hence yoga can be recommended as a complementary health approach for the autonomic nervous system imbalance.
