The Hunt for Himalayan Traditional Medicine Parasitic Treasure: ‘Caterpillar Fungi’
Authors: Yousufi Mahmood Khan 
Published: July 2023

In recent times the demand for conventional medicines is rising day by day in urban cities of the globe. Different sorts of folk meds are widely employed in various therapies by the global communities. Excessive exploration and exploitation of folk meds has alarmingly damaged the ecological diversity around the world. The folk meds are largely created through plants animals and even microbes. In this study an expensive conventional medicinal fungi often alluded to as ‘caterpillar fungi’ that is found in the Himalayan region has been evaluated for its sorted traits pertaining to its origin, morphology, lifecycle, therapeutics, bio-molecules and its trade values. This fungus has been an integral compound of traditional medicines in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India and China. It was inferenced in this study that the hunt for this Himalayan medicinal treasure has raised tremendously. In recent times studies reveal that the caterpillar fungus has been widely employed as a nutritional supplement or tonic and as a herbal medication. The volume of this medicinal fungus is decreasing due to it’s over exploitation. Over exploration of this pricey med is contributing towards its degradation. It was evaluated through this investigation, that the caterpillar fungi possesses rich aboriginal medicinal traits that has resulted in its excessive exploration and even smuggling in the states of its origin. It is concluded in this study that, strict measures must be taken by the global states to safeguard this valuable fungi that could be loaded with medicinal properties to cure many chronic health ailments. It is inferred in this study that lack of proper concerns on this significant fungi has labelled this fungi under vulnerable species.

Authors: Vijay Jayswal  , Ashna Gargi  
Published: July 2023

Disasters are old-age concerns of the human race. Hazards are the product of natural cycles and physical adjustments of nature to maintain equilibrium. In the course of development, Humans invited disasters through reckless, unplanned, unmindful settlements. They continuously ignored the signs of nature and today reached at the stage that no corner of the earth is safe from disasters. Among, all kinds of disasters, Flood is the most important type of natural disaster. Almost all human civilizations developed around rivers, such as the great Indus Valley Civilization that flourished and perished along the banks of the Indus River. Floods engulfed many great human settlements in seconds and erased many great lands from the world map. Rivers are carried endless opportunities embracing huge resources enough to thrive a large population for years but at the same time, their nature is random, flickering, and devastating when caused disturbance either by nature or humans. The purpose of the current research paper is to understand the impact of the flood on various socio-economic sections of society in Delhi.

Published: July 2023

We study the fractional p-Kirchhoff equation $$ \Big( a+b \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}{\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}} \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^p}{|x-y|^{N+ps}}\, dx\, dy\Big) (-\Delta)_p^s u-\mu|u|^{p-2}u=|u|^{q-2}u, \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N, $$ where \((-\Delta)_p^s\) is the fractional p-Laplacian operator, a and b are strictly positive real numbers, \(s \in (0,1)\), \(1 < p< N/s,\) and \(p< q< p^*_s-2\) with \(p^*_s=\frac{Np}{N-ps}\). By using the variational method, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global minimum or mountain pass type critical points on the \(L^p\)-normalized manifold\(S(c):=\big\{u\in W^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^N): \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} |u|^pdx=c^p\big\}\).

We study positive solutions to the boundary value problem $$ \displaylines{ -\Delta_p u - \Delta_q u = \lambda f(u) \quad \text{in } \Omega, \cr u = 0 \quad \text{on } \partial\Omega, }$$ where \(q \in (1,p)\) and &Omega; is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(N>1\) with smooth boundary, \(\lambda\) is a positive parameter, and \(f:[0,\infty) \to (0,\infty)\) is \(C_1\), nondecreasing, and p-sublinear at infinity i.e. \(\lim_{t \to \infty} f(t)/t^{p-1}=0\). We discuss existence and multiplicity results for classes of such f. Further, when N=1, we discuss an example which exhibits S-shaped bifurcation curves.

A semilinear wave equation with non-monotone nonlinearity and forcing flat on characteristics
Authors: Caicedo Jose F. , Castro Alfonso , Duque Rodrigo 
Published: July 2023

We provide sufficient conditions on the forcing term for a semilinear wave equation with non-monotone asymptotically linear nonlinearity to have a weak solution. Earlier results required the forcing term not to be flat on characteristics, now we remove those requirements. Also we provide estimates on the measure of the level sets of the forcing term, that suffice for the equation to have a weak solution.

Oito anos de análise dos dados do experimento célula solar do segundo satélite brasileiro
Authors: Veissid Nelson , Beloto Antonio Fernando , Baruel Mario Ferreira 
Published: July 2023

O segundo satélite Brasileiro (SCD2) foi colocado em órbita em Outubro de 1998 e carrega a bordo um experimento de células solares de silício (ECS). O objetivo principal do ECS é o de qualificar em missão e confirmar a confiabilidade das células solares que foram projetadas e fabricadas no Brasil. O ECS é um pequeno módulo composto de um arranjo de três pares de células solares acondicionadas numa estrutura mecânica de alumínio. Os três sinais gerados pelos pares de células são amplificados por um circuito elétrico localizado dentro da estrutura mecânica e são repassados para a telemetria do satélite, que transmite em digital seu valor para a estação receptora em Cuiabá-MS. Cada par de células simula o funcionamento da célula solar em três diferentes situações: tensão de circuito aberto, corrente de curto circuito e tensão de máxima potência. Um termistor colocado sob a estrutura mecânica monitora a temperatura do ECS. Os quatro canais (três de sinal e um de temperatura) são recebidos em tempo real e eles permitem recuperar as curvas de corrente por tensão nas condições padrões de temperatura e intensidade solar (25  C e AM0). Desta forma, pode-se calcular a degradação dos parâmetros elétricos da célula solar durante a vida do satélite. Este trabalho apresenta a análise dos dados recebidos pela telemetria durante os oito primeiros anos de vida do satélite SCD2. Neste período, podemos dizer que os danos de radiação sofridos pelas células solares provocaram uma diminuição relativa de 2,6% na eficiência, de 1,0% na corrente de curto circuito e de 1,7% na tensão de circuito aberto, em relação aos seus valores de inicio de vida. Estes valores de degradação são menores do que os esperados, conforme dados apresentados na literatura. Por exemplo, para o período de oito anos e condições de órbita do satélite, era esperado uma degradação relativa de 7% na eficiência de conversão e os dados do experimento revelaram umadegradação menor do que a metade do valor esperado.

Целью исследования было изучение комплекса ганглиозных клеток сетчатки у пациентов с болезнью Альцгеймера (БА). Обследовали пациентов с БА, с легкой и умеренной степенью нарушения памяти, и здоровых добровольцев соответствующего возраста. У пациентов с БА в 33,3% случаев определялась легкая деменция, в 62.6% случаев – умеренная деменция и в некоторых случаях – умеренные нарушения когнитивных функций. Пациентам измеряли остроту зрения, внутриглазное давление, оценивали по краткой шкале оценки психического статуса (КШОПС) и проводили спектральную оптическую когерентную томографию. Было вывялено снижение зрения и внутриглазного давления, а также снижение баллов по КШОПС у пациентов с БА. Выявлено, что снижение толщины комплекса ганглиозных клеток (КГК) у пациентов с БА чаще встречается в нижнем височном сегменте (84.4%), нижнем носовом (82.2%) и нижнем сегменте (71.1%). Обнаружено достоверное увеличение значений фокальной и глобальной потери объема клеток ганглиозного слоя в сравнении с контролем.
The aim of the work was to determine the thickness of the complex of retinal ganglion cells in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study involved patients with AD with cognitive impairment in mild and moderate severity and healthy volunteers at corresponding ages. It was determined mild dementia in 33.3%, moderate dementia in 62.6% of cases, and mild cognitive impairment several times. The visual acuity of the eye, intraocular pressure, spectral optical coherence tomography, and evaluation on the MMSE scale were measured in the study. It was revealed that visual acuity and intraocular pressure, as well as points on the MMSE scale in patients with AD, were reduced compared with the control group. A decrease in the thickness of the ganglion cell complex in patients with AD was more common in the inferotemporal segment (84.4%), inferonasal (82.2%), and inferior segment (71.1%). The index of focal and global loss of ganglion cell volume was significantly increased.
Neo-Nazi Heteroactivism and the Swedish Nationalist Contradiction
Authors: Lagerman Julia 
Published: July 2023

This article is about one of the most violent and visible form anti-LGBTQI activism in Sweden, conducted by Neo-Nazis. Through a critical discourse analysis of 189 texts published in Swedish newspapers and Neo-Nazi alternative media, it argues that contemporary Swedish Neo-Nazi anti-LGBTQI activism draws upon and constructs transnational heteroactivist discourses. They claim to “protect the nuclear family” to deflate accusations of homophobia while gaining substantial visibility through news media covering their actions. The findings demonstrate the three ways Neo-Nazi texts use heteroactivist strategies. First, the texts argue that LGBTQI rights and feminism are societally harmful. Second, through intertextuality they refer to both local and international alternative media as the basis for their arguments. Third, they rationalise homophobic hatred. This paper contributes to discussions of heteroactivism, revealing the need to grapple with the ways it is intertwined with race and nationalism. Empirically, the analysis also highlights the significance of anti-LGBTQI activism in contemporary white power and extreme-right movements. The inclusion of news media texts that frame and represent heteroactivist strategies reveals that, despite their rationalising efforts, Neo-Nazi anti-LGBTQI activism is represented as homophobic and hateful in news and debate articles describing them. Additionally, news media representations of Neo-Nazi heteroactivist discourse present a nationalist contradiction, with authors re-constructing narratives of Sweden as a “LGBT friendly nation”, bringing to light complex relations between heteroactivism, homophobia, racism, and nationalism.

Published: July 2023

Por su trayectoria, relevancia económica, social y cultural, la vitivinicultura es una de las actividades económicas más importantes de la zona central de Chile. Los campesinos participan de este mercado como proveedores de uva vinífera y como productores de vinos de diversas calidades. Ante la elevada concentración del mercado doméstico, el despliegue de prácticas no competitivas por parte de los principales actores y la debilidad regulatoria del Estado, los campesinos han debido implementar diversas estrategias asociativas de mejora, a fin de reducir costos, aumentar calidad y acceder a precios competitivos y a mercados dinámicos. Una de estas estrategias asociativas de mejora, es la certificación de organizaciones de viñateros en comercio justo Fairtrade International. A partir del análisis comparado de cinco estudios de caso, que corresponden al universo de organizaciones de pequeños viticultores certificadas por Fairtrade en Chile, este artículo analiza la diversidad de estrategias asociativas de mejora y sus resultados económicos. Utilizando entrevistas a representantes de organizaciones certificadas Fairtrade, e información secundaria, son caracterizados: (1) los modelos de negocios y estrategias competitivas de cada organización; (2) las estrategias asociativas de mejora; (3) las fuerzas de la industria; (4) las fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas que enfrentan las organizaciones; y (5) los resultados económicos obtenidos. Este análisis hace visible que la certificación Fairtrade, junto a otras estrategias de mejora, se relaciona con resultados económicos positivos para los productores, permitiendo superar la estructura oligopsónica del mercado interno.
Figures in the Mire: Towards Transformative Art and a Respectful Mire Relationship
Authors:   University of Eastern Finland, Latvala-Harvilahti Pauliina 
Published: July 2023

Mire art is a versatile form of ecologically engaged art that reflects images of the relationship with nature in its time. This article regards mire art as transformative art that links both to climate change and new ways of experiencing the mire. Mire art no longer reflects so much the aesthetics of the mire enjoyed by humans, but rather the mire aside from human activity and the importance of protecting mire nature in the climate crisis. My perspective on the transformative aspects of mire art stems from the artist’s choices, values and aims, which I explore by reflecting on both artist interview and my own experience of the artwork on site. The theoretical approach combines the study of cultural meanings and knowledge inherent in ethnological case studies with the concepts of art research. Art interventions can play a transformative role which increases knowledge, trust, and social capital. The Invited Guests series (Fin. Kutsuvieraat, 2020) by visual artist Reetta Partanen in the city of Seinäjoki, Finland, is a sculptural series made of organic material. The artwork is situated in the pristine mire in South Ostrobothnia, where peatlands are still used for energy. The article asks how the artist and her artwork emphasize the value of the mire as a natural place and softly question the dominant place of humans in the world. Importantly, the materials in the work have been chosen not to be a burden on the environment, but rather to benefit nature. The research shows that transformative art highlights the agency of nature, and in this study, the artwork gives mire a level of attention that differs from that centered on commercial use.
Experiences of Mire Sports: Sensory Encounters in Nature
Authors:   University of Eastern Finland, Laurén Kirsi , Piirainen Marjukka ,   University of Eastern Finland
Published: July 2023

Swamp soccer and swamp volleyball tournaments have been actively organized on Finnish mires throughout the twenty-first century, reflecting a change in the cultural relationship with mires. Joyful and festival-style team sports events on mires seem to be a modern trend, not only in Finland, but also in other European countries. This study focuses on mire sporting events in the Finnish context, asking: How do the sensory experiences of team play on mires affect the players’ relationship with mire, and also the cultural heritage associated with mires? The analysis is based on the theoretical framework of the ethnography of the senses, which is complemented by the concept of space. The research material was collected between 2020 and 2022 and consists of thematic interviews with 33 mire athletes, as well as observational material based on the World Swamp Volley and Swamp Soccer Championships held in Finland. The study shows that these humorous sports events emphasize the sense of community between the players. Playing in mires, sensing them, and getting dirty are key factors in this process. Fears of the mire familiar from folklore are forgotten when playing together in the mire. Mire sports bring new multisensory and entertaining elements to the traditional use of mires.
