Abstract
The 32 bp deletion in the chemokine receptor (C-C motif) 5 gene (CCR5Δ32) is a natural loss of function polymorphism that prevents the protein from locating on the cell surface. This genetic variation acts as a double edge sword in the pathogenesis/defense mechanism of different health conditions, such as viral infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. Here, we evaluated the prevalence of CCR5Δ32 polymorphism in the Turkmen population of Golestan province, northeast of Iran. Blood samples were collected from 400 randomly selected Turkmen populations (199 women and 201 men), and genomic DNA was extracted. Characterization of CCR5Δ32 genotypes was performed by PCR using primers flanking the 32-nucleotide deletion in the CCR5 gene. The amplified DNA fragments were visualized on 2% agarose gel electrophoresis with cyber green staining under UV light. All individuals were of Turkmen ethnicity and lived in the Golestan province northeast of Iran. The mean age of all participants was 35.46 years, with a 20–45 years range. All the studied subjects were healthy without severe conditions such as autoimmune disease and viral infections. All individuals had no history of HIV infection. The PCR product visualization showed that all the samples were at the 330 bp size, suggesting the absence of the CCR5Δ32 allele in the study population. The presence of the CCR5Δ32 allele among Turkmens may be attributed to the admixture with European descent people. We conclude that the CCR5Δ32 polymorphism may be absent in the Iranian Turkmen population and further studies with large populations are needed.

Abstract
Ad-hoc networks have lots of challenges than traditional networks. It has challenges like infrastuctureless and self organizing networks. They don’t have any fixed infrastructure. In Fanets there will be no centralized authority to manage the network. Nodes have to rely on other nodes to keep the network connected. As the ad-hoc network is dynamic and every transmission in these networks become vulnerable to many number of attacks and security becomes a major issue. Recent advancements in drone technology are opening new opportunities and applications in various fields of life especially in the form of small drones. However, these advancements are also causing new challenges in terms of security, adaptability, and consistency. This research discusses the drone technology, area of usages, citizen multi-objective uses, drones’ security, protection, and secrecy apprehensions, drone current intimidations and susceptibilities, existing approaches for drone cyber-security methods, security threats to drones and data sources for current literature review. Small drones are proving to be a new opportunity for the civil and military industries. The small drones are suffering from architectural issues and the definition of security and safety issues. The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens new dimensions for drone technology but posing new threats as well. The tiny flying intelligent devices are challenging for the security and privacy of data. The design of these small drones is yet not matured to fulfil the domain requirements. The basic design issues also need security mechanisms, privacy mechanisms and data transformations.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Two strains of the N2 fixing, plant growth promoting bacterium Azospirillum were isolated as endophytes from roots of wheat seedlings grown in the spermosphere model that was inoculated with aliquots of two rhizosphere soil samples. Azospirillum isolate 3Re was recovered after inoculation with Sisamum irio rhizosphere soil and the other isolate (12Re) was recovered after inoculation with Triticum aesativum rhizosphere soil, both were brought from Dalja village, . Some physiological and biochemical characteristics of Azospirillum strains were determined. One of the physiological studies on these Azospirillum strains exhibited that they have a chitinolytic activity. This study aims to evaluate the antagonistic activity of these isolates against the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium. The investigation exhibited a positive effect for the in vitro control of Fusarium growth through the production of the fungal cell wall degrading enzymes (chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase) in addition to the production of volatile and non volatile antifungal compounds. The microscopic examination of the lysed fungal hyphae was recorded as a result of Azospirillum's fungal cell wall degrading enzymes produced. Moreover, in pot experiment Azospirillum overcame pathogenicity of Fusarium on wheat seedlings' growth and showed 100% of seedlings growth compared with 30% growth of control infested seedlings only. These results suggest that Azospirillum has an excellent potential to be used as biocontrol agents against phytopathogenic fungi.

Published: April 2023

Abstract

To achieve China’s “Double Carbon” target, each region needs a fair, effective, and economically viable quota allocation scheme. Therefore, this paper takes the industrial sector of Henan Province as an example and explores the allocation scheme of peak carbon emissions among its 40 subsectors. The results show that: (1) The predicted total quotas for the industrial sector in Henan Province at carbon peak is 163.74 Mt. (2) The reallocation scheme proposed in this paper takes into account fairness, efficiency, and economy principles, and is the most feasible scheme. (3) Transferring quotas to subsectors with lower carbon intensity and higher marginal abatement costs can help improve the overall efficiency of the allocation scheme. We innovatively propose a scenario prediction method for the total quotas and systematically quantitatively evaluates the fairness and economy of the scheme. Policy suggestions are also made for implementing the scheme. The purpose of this paper is to solve how to formulate a fair and effective quota allocation scheme and clarify its feasibility. By quantitatively determining a quota allocation scheme that meets the actual development needs of the industrial sector in Henan Province, this paper also provides a reference for other regions to achieve fair and effective quota allocation.

Abstract
Social media brand crisis of a foreign brand in China suggests the sudden occurrence of many, mainly negative social media utterances against the brand. Understanding how such a crisis unfolds and what are related consumer sentiments on social media deserves managerial attention. This paper examines the case of a global Canadian brand, Canada Goose, when it experienced a social media crisis over its refund-policy and alleged use of double standards against Chinese consumers. By using case-study methodology, the findings of this research uncover the discernible stages along which the crisis proceeds and reveals the role of Chinese grassroots nationalism in fulling the social media crisis.
New Historicism: Text and Context
Authors: M. Vesić Violeta 
Published: April 2023

During most of the twentieth century history was seen as a phenomenon outside of literature that guaranteed the veracity of literary interpretation. History was unique and it functioned as a basis for reading literary works. During the seventies of the twentieth century there occurred a change of attitude towards history in American literary theory, and there appeared a new theoretical approach which soon became known as New Historicism. Since its inception, New Historicism has been identified with the study of Renaissance and Romanticism, but nowadays it has been increasingly involved in other literary trends. Although there are great differences in the arguments and practices at various representatives of this school, New Historicism has clearly recognizable features and many new historicists will agree with the statement of Walter Cohen that New Historicism, when it appeared in the eighties, represented something quite new in reference to the studies of theory, criticism and history (Cohen 1987, 33). Theoretical connection with Bakhtin, Foucault and Marx is clear, as well as a kind of uneasy tie with deconstruction and the work of Paul de Man. At the center of this approach is a renewed interest in the study of literary works in the light of historical and political circumstances in which they were created. Foucault encouraged readers to begin to move literary texts and to link them with discourses and representations that are not literary, as well as to examine the sociological aspects of the texts in order to take part in the social struggles of today.
The study of literary works using New Historicism is the study of politics, history, culture and circumstances in which these works were created. With regard to one of the main fact which is located in the center of the criticism, that history cannot be viewed objectively and that reality can only be understood through a cultural context that reveals the work, re-reading and interpretation of literature is not just re-reading of texts that are already well known, but reading in a completely new way.
The ways of construction of own space in South Slavic oral lyric
Authors: Vukmanović Ana 
Published: April 2023

South Slavic oral lyric can form different spatial models. These models can be presented by house/castle, town or village as the enclosed spaces, but also by the open spaces, like a garden or vineyard. In both cases, it is important to note that they are organized and in that sense they are opposed to the open spaces. Notions of this world, especially the house, corespond with models of cosmic centre. In relation to them, the man positions himself in the space. The boundary is an important notion because it separates own world from the alien, open from the closed, organized from the unorganized. It is emphasized by ritual songs. Distinction of tame as an attribute of this world (in contrast with wild/alien) is relative when the mediating position of the field – cultivated or uncultivated – is activated. It is even more complex in the motif of the house in the mountain, which merges domestic and alien, human and inhuman space. The place of isolation as a heterotopias forms specific position in opposition own/alien, marked by ritual layer of oral lyric songs. Lirical singing form complex and diverse constructs of own space and show that the binary system, on which the oral traditional culture is based, is dynamic and depends on perspectives and the context of singing.
Corona in the Schoolyard: Children's Game “Corona” as a Sociocultural Construct during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Krel Aleksandar , Trubarac Matić Đorđina 
Published: April 2023

At the beginning of 2020 a children's game called “Corona” spontaneously appeared among the lower grade pupils of the primary school "Saint Sava" in Belgrade’s municipality of Vračar. Typologically it belongs to the games of chasing and the rules of the first detected variant resemble very much the playground game known as tag with the exception that the player who chases is called “Corona”.
During April and May of 2021 a field research was conducted in order to collect information about the ways the game was played in the schoolyard during the months of February and March 2020 (on the 17th of March the schools in Serbia were closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and were not opened until the beginning of the following school year on the 1st of September 2020) and during the school year 2020/2021. An analysis of the collected data showed that there are two basic groups of variants: the first one practiced during the school year 2019/2020 and the second one during the school year 2020/2021 (in which the role of Doctor appears). Both groups are described through the ideal types of their respective variants. The ideal type models of all variants have been observed in relation to the series of elements from the sociocultural context within which the game “Corona” originated, pointing towards a direct correlation between the game elements and its structure on the one hand, and, on the other, the changes that occurred in the micro and macro sociocultural environment of the interviewed children immediately before and after the proclamation of the pandemic of Covid-19. Some of the factors which were triggers in the inner dynamics of the process of shaping the variants of the game “Corona” as a sociocultural construct have been discussed: the internal ones (coming from the children's community itself ‒ those concerning their specific needs and their pre-existing idioculture) and the external ones, concerning a dense network of regulatory and informational factors imposing onto the children a new emerging pandemic reality. This new reality resulted in changes of daily routines, reactions to highly restrictive school regulations and exposure to fear- and confusion-inducing information which reached children through various information channels. The new schoolyard game called “Corona” gave the participants possibility to project their inner psychological tension and express it through a recreational activity (running) and through a frame of a complex communication achieved on a symbolic level.
The Image of the Jews in the Travel Book Orient by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez
Authors: Sekulić Mirjana M. 
Published: April 2023

In this article we study the image of the Jewish people in Vicente Blasco Ibáñez's travel book Orient. The book describes the author’s journey from France to the Orient, more specifically Istanbul, in 1907. The first descriptions of the Jews already appear in the first text of the book, in which the author depicts the small spa town of Vichy in France. The author describes different nationalities gathered in Vichy, remarking on its cosmopolitan atmosphere. In Vichy, he identifies a few Jewish nationals as paradigmatic characters - stereotyped visions of beautiful cocotte or good Rebecca/Miriam in the company of her husband, who is marked by greed and stinginess as racial characteristics, thus expressing his prejudiced views towards the Jews. Later on, on his journey to the East, Blasco Ibáñez spends two days in Serbia, leaving a testimony about the Serbian people, but also about an encounter with some Sephardic Jews in Belgrade. A similar meeting will take place in Istanbul, prompting the author to express his wish to continue writing about this nation in the future. In the travel book Orient, Blasko Ibáñez presents the Sephardim and discusses their language and nostalgic need to reconnect with Spain. Through the author’s presentation and selection of Sephardic attributes we can draw some conclusions about his personal attitude that preserves some Judeophobic elements
We will start from Ibáñez's contradictory judgments about the Jews, expressed in several articles and literary works, and then, following the principles of imagology, we will examine how the image of the Jews, the Sephardim, is constructed within the cultural spaces of Belgrade and Istanbul. We will try to connect these images with the general panorama of the Jewish question and the frequently cited anti-Semitism in the work of Blas Ibáñez. We will pay special attention to Judeophobia, as well as the economic aspect of this problem.
Managing the Disaster of Covid-19: An Analysis of Public Policy in Odisha on India’s East Coast
Authors: Patnaik Soumendra M. 
Published: April 2023

This paper is a critical reflection on Covid-19 management strategies adopted in Odisha, a state on India’s east coast. The unprecedented scale and magnitude with which the pandemic affected the entire world was the cause of great uncertainty and collective anxiety. Managing it at the level of the entire nation state with great diversity of race, language, ethnicity, class, caste and culture has posed a great challenge for policy makers and administrators. Policy ethnographies have often relied on the Foucauldian idea of biopower and biopolitics to elucidate the governance practices in nation states with different rationalities. The present paper is an attempt to examine various policy measures adopted by the government of Odisha and how they have been affecting various institutions and everyday life. Using an ethnographical approach, the paper attempts to examine various policy initiatives and the way they get operationalized on the ground giving rise to a kind of governance practice indicative of affirmative biopolitics in the way power is exercised to direct human life and engage citizens for a secure future.

Introduction. The study of the manifestations of symptoms of COVID-19 and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an important aspect of the diagnosis, especially for regions endemic for HFRS.Aim. To conduct сomparative study of the clinical symptoms and parametres of a complete blood test at the onset of the disease with lung involvement in patients with HFRS and COVID-19 with moderate severity.Materials and methods. A retrospective comparative analysis and identification of laboratory data of patients with moderate form of HFRS with respiratory syndrome (n = 52) and patients with moderate severity form of COVID-19 (n = 52) upon admission to the hospital was carried out.Results. Fever is one of the main symptoms for both diseases, characterizing the degree of severity. At the same time, the temperature in patients with HFRS on admission was higher than in patients with COVID-19 (p < 0.05). Shortness of breath is much more often recorded in the group of patients with viral pneumonia COVID-19 (p = 0.0001). The oxygen saturation index (SpO2) in patients with HFRS was below 95%, but the average value of 96.4% was normal, while in patients with COVID-19 the average value was 92.8% (p < 0.05). When comparing the indicators of the general blood test, there was a statistically significant excess of the level of red blood cells and hematocrit in the group of patients with COVID-19, with a comparable level of hemoglobin in both groups. The average value of the absolute content of platelets was significantly lower, and the number of patients with thrombocytopenia is much higher in the group of patients with HFRS.Conclusion. Kidney damage in HFRS is the main clinical and laboratory syndrome, but it is important to remember that lung damage by the type of viral pneumonia in HFRS is also possible. In all suspicious cases, an examination for SARS-CoV-2 and serological diagnosis of hantavirus infection are indicated.

Introduction. The study of omalizumab efficacy in patients with severe bronchial asthma (SA) in randomized clinical trials is limited to 52 weeks. In real clinical practice, patients can receive the drug for much longer.Aim. Evaluate the one-year and two-year efficacy of omalizumab in patients with SA in Sverdlovsk region.Material and methods. The study included patients (n = 54) with allergic and mixed SA from the registry of Sverdlovsk region. Omalizumab efficacy was assessed over 12 and 24 months of therapy by dynamics of asthma exacerbations frequency, the use of health care resources, the need for short-acting beta-agonists (SABA) and systemic glucocorticosteroids (SGCS), the level of asthma control according to ACT, and the quality of life according to AQLQ, FEV1 levels and peripheral blood eosinophils.Results. During 12 months of omalizumab therapy, the reduction in asthma exacerbation rate was 63.7% (from 2.01 ± 1.51 per patient per year to 0.73 ± 1.03) (p < 0.001), which was accompanied by a decrease in emergency calls and hospitalizations rates by 92.4 and 84.1%, respectively (p < 0.001). Improved asthma control (by ACT) from 9 (Q1-Q3: 7–13) to 20 points (Q1-Q3: 16–23); the proportion of patients with uncontrolled SA decreased from 97.4 to 48.7% (p < 0.001). The need for SABA decreased to 92.9% (p < 0.001). The proportion of patients on SGCS decreased from 60.5% to 15.8% (p < 0.001). The quality of life (AQLQ) significantly improved, FEV1 increased (p < 0.001), the number of eosinophils in peripheral blood decreased (p = 0.015). By the end of the second year of therapy, the trend of improvement in indicators of efficacy continued.Conclusions. During 1 year of therapy with omalizumab, patients with allergic SA experienced a significant decrease in the number of exacerbations and use of health care resources, improved quality of life and asthma control, reduced need for SABA and SGCS, and improved respiratory function. In patients treated with omalizumab for 2 years, there was a further improvement or stabilization of efficacy indicators.
