Authors: Simarmata Rajaner P 
Published: April 2022

The Political dynamics are very tighly linked to the issue of participation and democracy. The dynamics of local politics in the elections is the reciprocal interactions between interest groups participating in the organization of the election process that describes the values of democracy and accountability. In simple terms it can be said that political life namely by choosing the leadership of the State and directly of indirectly, influence goverment policies (public policy).
Organizing the elections simultaneously in 2015have passed and still leave notes various problems related to the dynamics and the participation of local politics, namely (1) the level of voter participation in the election implementation simultaneously (2) the number of candidates who follow the elections (3) Related to Independent candidate (4) the proportion win lose political parties in nominating the candidate pair (5) Conflict/election diputes/
To solve these problems the goverment and parliament attempts to complete for improving the implementation of the elections simultaneously in 2017, throught a revision of the election law changes that resulted in 22 points. Howeverm the revision has not been able to reach a fundamental problem, namely the governance of political parties and increased voter turnout throught increased voter satisfacion toward the elections and the election far voters effects. So that the same problems wil still arise in the simultaneous election in 2017.

Contrafeitiço: “nós derruba mesmo qualquer feitiço, aqui a pessoa se cura”
Authors: Silva Lucielma Lobato 
Published: April 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender uma das práticas de cura feitas na casa de Cura de Dona Neca, que reside no Rio Urubuéua Fátima, região insular do município de Abaetetuba, Estado do Pará. A prática de Cura, aqui analisada, está relacionada com o chamado contrafeitiço que, segundo Durkheim (2009) ocorre quando o mago desfaz a magia lançada por uma determinada pessoa, ou seja, consistem em deixa-la livre do infortúnio ocasionado por uma magia/feitiço. Nessa casa de cura o feitiço é desfeito pela pajé em pacientes que manifestem problemas, tais como a panema (uma espécie de má sorte), doenças espirituais como manifestações de caruanas e espíritos ou feitiços diversos (causados por magia simpática ou por contiguidade, Durkheim (2009). Porém, preocupo-me neste a propor entendimentos sobre a cura realizada em um caso de feitiço, no qual a pajé “trabalha” para retirá-lo. Essa questão é levantada metodologicamente por meio da pesquisa de campo (Malinowski, 1989), sob direção da escrita guiada por Price (2002) e por Mariana Franco (2008) os quais apresentam a escrita etnográfica de forma em que os interlocutores aparecem nitidamente no texto, da mesma forma que é possível ouvir a voz dos pesquisadores em uma brilhante polifonia. Sendo assim, este trabalho enfatiza a cura do contrafeitiço por meio da pajelança, sob o prisma da preocupação da escrita etnográfica, tema que tem sido caro para a Antropologia desde a década de 80 do século passado, momento em que os ditos pós-modernos lançaram o problema da polifonia na produção textual.

Improving the Assessment Performance in Philippine Politics and Governance through Project Reconnect
Authors: Manahan Ian Jeffrey E. 
Published: April 2022

Aims: The study aimed to improve the assessment performance of Grade 12 students in a specialized course under the Academic Track / Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand called Philippine Politics and Governance.
Study Design: The study primarily used the descriptive-comparative method.
Place and Duration of Study: Binulasan Integrated School, Barangay Binulasan, Infanta, Quezon Province, Philippines, between January 2021 and March 2021.
Methodology: The participants were seven Grade 12-HUMSS students who got “below expectation” or 74% and below in assessment performance after four weeks of lessons. The study aimed to improve the assessment performance through Project RECONNECT (Remedial Class On New Normal Education Through Phone Call Tutoring Strategy). To determine the increase in students’ assessment performance, pretest and posttest results were compared. Descriptive was used to get the mean of the test results. The t-test for the dependent sample was used to find out if there is a significant difference in the test results.
Results: The assessment performance in Philippine Politics and Governance of seven Grade 12 HUMSS students before and after the implementation of Project RECONNECT was below average and upper average respectively. Project RECONNECT (Remedial Class On New Normal Education through Phone Call Tutoring Strategy) was an effective tool for improving the assessment performance of students.
Conclusion: It concluded that students in this assessment performance lack knowledge and skills in this subject. They need remediation to improve their assessment performance in Philippine Politics and Governance. The assessment performance of “below expectation” students could improve through phone call tutoring as a form of remediation during this time of the pandemic. Project RECONNECT was commendable to improve the assessment performance of students.
Effeciency of Procedural Use of Hormonal Agent in Propagation of Clarias gariepinus
Authors: Uka A. , Obilo G. I. 
Published: April 2022

Administration procedures of some hormones including single, double and multiple induction protocols were investigated to determine the implications of different induction process in propagation of Clarias gariepinus. The hormones studied were ovulin, Carp pituitary extract (CPE) and gonopore. A total of 36 Clarias gariepinus of the same age comprising 27 females and 9 males were used for the study. Eggs produced among treatments were fertilized with pooled sperm from a total of 3 males per hormonal treatment. Propagation was assessed by fecundity, fertilization, hatchability and larval survival. Highest egg production was recorded at double inductions with ovulin and CPE while highest egg production was observed in single induction with gonopore. There was significant disparity (P<0.05) in fertilization and hatchability percentages. Best fertilization and hatching rate was recorded with ovulin at single induction (80.2%) and ovulin at multiple inductions (81.9%) respectively. There was significant difference (P<0.05) in number of larvae realized among the treatments. Highest larval survival was recorded with gonopore at single induction (68.1%). Findings from the study showed that hormone type and mode of administration are important in propagation of C. gariepinus. The study recommended double inductions in usage of Ovulin and CPE and single induction with gonopore. Adopting best procedural technology in usage of specific hormone is necessary for mass production of Clarias gariepinus seeds.
Assessment of Functional Mitral Regurgitation Severity by Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area via 3D Transthoracic Echocardiography
Authors: A. M. Balbaa Ahmed , M. Atia Wael , Abdelshafook Khalaf Hani 
Published: April 2022

Background: Accurate quantitative evaluation of MR severity remains challenging because limited scan plane orientation of 2D echocardiography does not provide direct measurement of the regurgitant lesion. Three-dimensional echocardiography, which has become a clinically established technique, has been shown to provide useful information for flow quantification and so has the potential to address the major drawbacks of 2D-based approaches.
Objectives: To assess the reliability of PISA measurement using real-time 3D color trans-thoracic echocardiographic imaging in clinical practice and to compare its derived EROA, regurgitant volume (Rvol) and regurgitant fraction with that obtained by 2D trans thoracic PISA.
Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study, included 30 patients with at least moderate functional MR came for evaluation on clinical basis indications at Al-Hussein and Bab El-Shaareya University Hospitals during the period from November 2020 to July 2021. Two- and three-dimensional echocardiography was done to asses MR and calculate vena contract width, 2D PISA and derived EORA and regurgitant volume. Also, calculation of 3D EROA using PISA method by 3D probe.
Results: There was a significant positive correlation between 2D EPISA and 3D EROA using PISA method and EROA, p value was 0.0001. With higher values for 3D EROA using PISA method when compared with 2D PISA in different degrees of MR as summarized in “the mean value of EROA by 2D PISA in moderate MR was 0.25 ±0.042 cm2, while it was 0.32±0.059 cm2 by 3D EROA using PISA method. While the mean value of EROA by 2D PISA in severe MR was 0.58 ±0.14 cm2, and it was 0.47 ±0.049 cm2 by 3D EROA”. Also showed significant difference in different direction of MR jets especially in eccentric jet as shown by the mean value of EROA by 2D PISA in central MR was 0.41±0.19 cm2, while it was 0.41±0.87 cm2 by 3D method. While the mean value of EROA by 2D PISA in eccentric MR was 0.53 ±0.21 cm2, and it was 0.44 ±0.096 cm2 by 3D EROA using PISA method.
Conclusion: The use of 3D EROA using PISA method and simple calculation of a mean systolic regurgitation orifice area proved to be superior to 2D measures (VC, 2D-PISA) for distinguishing moderate from severe MR, evaluation, classification and grading of MR in a routine clinical cardiology setting. 3D EROA reduces assumptions and seemingly improves diagnostic value as compared with 2D-PISA.

Published: April 2022

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an inflammatory process characterized by atherosclerosis in coronary arteries and it is a major cause of death and disability in developed countries. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) has been consistently associated with CAD risk factors and predictive of CVD outcomes; additionally, it is consistently higher among type 2 diabetics than nondiabetics. However, the relationships of circulating Lp-PLA2 activity with incident CAD among patients with metabolic syndrome (MetSynd) have not been examined sufficiently.
Objective: The aim is to determine contribution of Lp-PLA2 to coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with Metabolic Syndrome (MetSynd).
Subjects and methods: This is a cohort prospective study based on 412 patients male and female were eligible and aged 25-75 years old patients and gave consent to participate in study. The study included socio-demographics, clinical biochemistry and the presence of co-morbid diseases. The data were analyzed using descriptive and multivariate analyses.
Results: There was a significant difference between MetSynd Positive and normal subjects with respect to age groups, gender, BMI, smoking, nargile use, thyroid, COPD, CAD, hypertension, diabetic and stroke. Also, there was a significant difference between MetSynd versus normal subjects with respect to BMI, Waist Circumference, hemoglobin, HbA1c, vitamin B12, fasting blood glucose, vitamin D, calcium, creatinine, triglyceride, uric acid, ferritin, systolic BP (mm Hg) and diastolic BP (mm Hg), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) (p=0.001); Lp-PLA2 activity, (p=0.001); HOMA-IR index,(p=0.004), insulin (p=0.001); C-reactive protein (p=0.004);White blood cell (WBC) (p=0.008); Platelet p= 0.018) Mean Plate Volume (p= 0.032); red cell distribution width (p=0.001); and vitamin D levels (p=0.018), respectively. The multivariate stepwise regression analysis indicated that Lp-PLA2 (p<0.001), BMI (kg/m2) (p<0.001), systolic BP (p<0.001), MetSynd (p=0.002), CK-MB (p=0.019), Calcium) (p= 0.023), Triglyceride (p= 0.029), Total-cholesterol (p= 0.046) were considered as risk predictors of the CAD patients after adjusting for age and gender.
Conclusion: Lp-LPA2 contributes to CAD in the presence of MetSynd, as well as Lp-PLA2 could be utilized as a useful predictor in cases of CAD with MetSynd.

Published: April 2022

Background: Using corticosteroids in treatment of ETD has been the focus of various studies in which many of them suggested that either topical intranasal corticosteroids or systemic oral steroids are helpful in the management of ETD. The aim of the work was for comparing the efficacy of topical intranasal corticosteroids with that of systemic oral steroids in the treatment of ETD.
Patients and Methods: prospective trial on 100 consecutive patients in the age group of 6- 12 years with an intact TM as to be documented on otoscopic examination and with an ETD as to be documented with a tympanogram type C. Subjects were allocated equally into two groups group 1: had intranasal corticosteroids and group 2: had systemic oral steroids. Data such as ear complaint, patient history, general investigation, otorhinolaryngological clinical check, tympanometry, pure tone audiometry and treatment, if taken were collected from all the patients.
Results: The decrease in tympanograms type C after treatment was correlated with the increase in type A tympanograms which indicate complete resolution of the condition in both tested groups of both treatment arms. Difference between the two study groups regarding tympanogram type C normalization shows no statistically significant difference between each treatment arm. Pure tone audiometry results indicate an improvement in the subjects HL after management in both examined groups, but results weren’t statistically significant.
Conclusions: Using corticosteroids, whether oral or intranasal, in the management of ETD is effective in resolving the condition, but there is no significant difference between the two in the outcome results and so oral steroid complications could be avoided by using local steroid spray.

E-learning has become an essential method and implemented by educational institutions across the world. Physiological change of online education among college students, based on a questionnaire or a Google form. Age among 21 to 25 where more knowledge about online education. Time spent for online classes per day is more than 6 hrs. The effectiveness of online classes varies among age groups. To make awareness about online education. A self structured questionnaire is being prepared and uploaded in Google forms. Increased implementation of technology will increase students' comprehension of content and skill developed. Asynchronous delivery is threaded discussions, e-mail and telephone calls. Education institutions created to deliver knowledge have yet to adopt technology for this purpose. Learning comparison has now been introduced in school. Online education experience is typically asynchronous and also incorporates synchronous elements. Increased implementation of technology will increase students' comprehension of content and skill developed. The study showed that the people who are aged between 21 to 25 are more aware of online education. The p- value of this study is found to be 0.002, (p<0.05), hence statistically significant. The aim of the study is to rule out the physiological changes of online education among the college students.

Published: April 2022

ObjectiveIt is unknown how the relationship between disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cardiovascular (CV) events may change over time. We examined the potentially time‐varying association of RA disease activity to CV events.MethodsWe used the CorEvitas prevalent RA registry. The Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score category, averaged within each 6‐month window since enrollment, was the exposure, and the outcome was major adverse CV events (MACEs). We used marginal structural models to estimate the hazard ratio (HR), comparing each CDAI score category with remission, allowing for differential association over time. We predicted MACE‐free survival under several CDAI score scenarios.ResultsWe found 44,816 eligible patients (77% female; mean age 58 years) with a crude event rate of 5.3/1000 person‐years (median follow‐up 3.4 years). The strongest association between higher CDAI score and MACEs was observed during the first 6 months of enrollment (HR for CDAI score low 2.29 [95% CI: 1.21‐4.36], moderate 2.81 [95% CI: 1.46‐5.43], and high 2.99 [95% CI: 1.48‐6.02]). These estimates gradually diminished; by year 5, the HRs were 1.00 (95% CI: 0.49‐2.05) for low, 1.18 (95% CI: 0.51‐2.71) for moderate, and 1.04 (95% CI: 0.45‐2.40) for high CDAI score. Predicted MACE‐free survival suggested a potential decrease in MACEs with a hypothetical earlier transition to remission.ConclusionThe association of higher disease activity with CV events may be stronger earlier in the disease course of RA. Interventional studies may be warranted to precisely determine the effect of disease activity suppression on CV events in RA.

AbstractQuantum effects in novel functional materials and new device concepts represent a potential breakthrough for the development of new information processing technologies based on quantum phenomena. Among the emerging technologies, memristive elements that exhibit resistive switching, which relies on the electrochemical formation/rupture of conductive nanofilaments, exhibit quantum conductance effects at room temperature. Despite the underlying resistive switching mechanism having been exploited for the realization of next‐generation memories and neuromorphic computing architectures, the potentialities of quantum effects in memristive devices are still rather unexplored. Here, a comprehensive review on memristive quantum devices, where quantum conductance effects can be observed by coupling ionics with electronics, is presented. Fundamental electrochemical and physicochemical phenomena underlying device functionalities are introduced, together with fundamentals of electronic ballistic conduction transport in nanofilaments. Quantum conductance effects including quantum mode splitting, stability, and random telegraph noise are analyzed, reporting experimental techniques and challenges of nanoscale metrology for the characterization of memristive phenomena. Finally, potential applications and future perspectives are envisioned, discussing how memristive devices with controllable atomic‐sized conductive filaments can represent not only suitable platforms for the investigation of quantum phenomena but also promising building blocks for the realization of integrated quantum systems working in air at room temperature.
Multifunctional Molecule Modification toward Efficient Carbon‐Based All‐Inorganic CsPbIBr2 Perovskite Solar Cells

Published: April 2022

AbstractFavorable stability is a big challenge for the commercialization of perovskite solar cells, and all‐inorganic perovskite semiconductors have attracted much attention due to their excellent performance in this field. In reality, the poor stability is mainly due to the high‐density defects in the perovskite films, which provide a channel for charge nonradiative recombination and ion migration. In this work, a multifunctional aminoguanidine hemisulfate (AG HSUL) is introduced into the CsPbIBr2 perovskite layer to achieve defect passivation. Guanidine cations (GA+) can form strong hydrogen bonds with under‐coordinated halogen ions to stabilize the crystal lattice; the nitrogen atom in the amino group can form a complex with the under‐coordinated lead ion; inorganic acids and ions can not only compensate for halogen anion vacancies, but also combine with lead clusters or capped lead ions to reduce defect density. The synergistic effect of anions and cations can effectively passivate the defects, and an energy conversion efficiency of 10.10% is obtained at the optimal concentration of modification. In addition, carbon electrodes are used instead of metal electrodes, which greatly reduces the cost. The results provide a new idea for the development of efficient all‐inorganic CsPbIBr2 perovskite solar cells.
How does transaction governance in the animal supply chain influence antibiotic use? A study of the French young bull sector
Authors: Poizat Axelle , Duvaleix Sabine , Hobbs Jill 
Published: April 2022

AbstractReducing the over‐use of preventative antibiotics in animal production to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance is important for public health and animal health. We explore how supply chain relationships influence the incentives for beef farmers to engage in production practices, including antibiotic use, that are optimal from public and animal health perspectives. We examine the case of the French young bull sector, where animals are gathered, mixed, and transported over long distances, increasing the risk of developing the bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Interviews with economic actors in the French young bull sector reveal how transaction costs and patterns of vertical coordination influence the incidence of BRD and the preventative use of antibiotics. Dispersed supply chains with low levels of vertical coordination inhibit information flows about vaccination status and reduces incentives for cow‐calf producers to adopt optimal animal health management practices.
