The participation of local actors in the development of the upstream Oueltana territorial municipalities, Azilal province (Morocco)
Authors: El Bakkari Mohamed , Tribak Abdellatif 
Published: July 2022

Participation has emerged as a form of development that has taken an important place in the official options of most countries. This trend has been especially reinforced with the disengagement of the State and the emergence of civil society as a development actor. The economic and social development of local communities is a major mission entrusted to them by the new charter. But the question we are asking ourselves is the following: is the community able to achieve such development on its own and without the contribution of other stakeholders? All the stakeholders in situ, such as local representatives, local authorities, civil servants, local population and entrepreneurs are supposed to contribute their part in order to achieve such development projects. Understanding the clauses of the participation of actors in development projects as well as the other actions carried out by the upstream municipalities of Oueltana (Azilal province, Morocco) enables us have a deep insight into the context and framework within which actors’ communication takes place. More interestingly, such understanding helps have a view about the types of relations that these actors hold among each other. In doing so, we could easily identify the scope of future mobilization and accountability actions so that they can finally follow the territorial development process.
From sea to shore: reuniting the divide by yachting
Authors: Forte Alberto 
Published: July 2022

The argument of separation between humans and nature has nurtured a rich narrative of theorizations striving to find application in the field of development and spatial change. This paper aims to chart a progressive separation of humans from the sea by adopting a grounded theory approach. In selected seaside towns, urban regeneration and tourism rejuvenation have contributed to crystalizing the separation of humans from the sea therefore calling for the need to revert the point of view over the conception of these measures by ‘reuniting with the sea’. It is therefore concluded that yachting tourism has potentially a strategic role to play in this shift, but further investigation is needed in order to reconsider it within alternative approaches to development through tourism.
Trasgressive, ribelli e perdute: frammenti di periferie reali e immaginarie nella narrativa urbana turco-tedesca contemporanea
Authors: Giovansana Sara 
Published: July 2022

This paper focuses on the representation of German urban peripheries in Turkish-German contemporary urban fiction. Through the analysis and comparison of two novels written by contemporary German novelists with Turkish origins – Der die Träume hört (2019) by Selim Özdogan and Hawaii (2020) by Cihan Acar – this contribution is aimed at investigating how the Turkish-German community deals with life in real and fictional German urban margins as spaces where new forms of citizenship and ways of urban living take shape and how the geographical-literary depictions of this urban peripheral framework are related to issues such as feelings of loss, exclusion, abandonment, desire to escape, personal redemption and racial hatred.
Challenges and Constraints Faced by Potato Growers Regarding Farm Credit Acquisition
Authors: Meitei N. Chinglen , Dutta Jayanta 
Published: July 2022

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), widely considered as 'The king of vegetables', has been the most commonly cultivated food crop after rice, wheat and maize [1]. Potato growers were unable to meet the large expenses for cultivation from their own sources and they are bound to take credit from different sources due to high capital intensive nature of the crop [2]. They borrow credit in cash and kind from a number of sources. Coochbehar –II block has been selected purposively and a total of 100 potato growers were selected randomly from 5 villages. Primary data were collected using a pre-tested structured schedule. Ranking method and Garrett Ranking method were adopted to determine the problems and challenges encountered by potato growers with regards to farm credit acquisition. Among the institutional borrowers the main challenge is the unavailability of farm credit on time followed by insufficient credit limit, high interest rates charged by the financial institutes and delay in loan approval/disbursement, respectively. From the study area it was found that still lots of small and marginal farmers meet their credit needs from the non institutional sources and they are forced to pay a very high interest rate. For non institutional borrowers the major challenge is the fear of repayment/becoming defaulter followed by no proper land records, Small land holdings/no extra income source and collateral issues, respectively. The study suggests that financial institutes should come forward to meet the credit constraints and challenges faced by the potato farmers. Necessary steps must be taken care to reduce the rate of over-dependence on non-institutional sources by expanding its outreach to the corner most villages. The co-operative societies need to be expanded and strengthen to achieve maximum outreach to the small and marginal farmers. Repayment behavior needs to be inculcated to the borrowers to reduce willful default. Banks and co-operatives must regularly render counseling to the distressed farmers, which could sort out many of their constraints.
Effect of Physico-chemical Properties on Spore Density and Root Colonization of Mycorrhizal Fungi in Industrial Wastelands in Kota, Rajasthan
Authors: Rajpurohit Suresh S. , Jaiswal Poonam 
Published: July 2022

This study was conducted in selected industrial waste dump sites in the Kota district of Rajasthan, India to investigate the impact of various edaphic factors on spore density and root colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The current research shows that AMF root colonization rates were insignificantly negatively correlated with EC, soil temperature, P, K, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn but significantly positively correlated with soil pH, soil moisture, and insignificantly positively correlated with N and OC (P < 0.05). Spore density of mycorrhiza was insignificant and negatively correlated with soil moisture (P < 0.05), EC, soil temperature, P, K, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn but significantly positively correlated with soil pH and insignificantly positively correlated with N and OC.
Edaphic factors may influence the root colonization and spore density of mycorrhiza differentially. Except for pH and soil moisture, almost all other parameters have a very insignificant influence on mycorrhizal root colonization and spore density in industrial wastelands.

Published: July 2022

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) proved to be highly accurate imaging modality allows clear differentiation of the normal anatomic features of the hip. In addition to that it allows clear differentiation of the individual component of the normal joint from one another. The purpose of this work was to diagnose sports-related injuries of hip and groin using MR imaging with different sequences.
Methods: This prospective study was carried out on59 athletic subjects presented clinically with different hip or groin joint complaints, both sexes within adult age. All patients were subjected to clinical examination, imaging (conventional radiography of both hips were performed mostly in antero-posterior and lateral views to detect fractures, dislocations, bony lesions or soft tissue swelling), MRI examinations and image analysis.
Results: There was significant difference between MRI type of injuries and different age groups of studied sportive patient. MRI show lesion in 59 cases in comparison to X-ray which has less sensitivity as 46 case has negative results show lesions in MRI.
Conclusions: MRI of the hip has established to be the gold standard for the diagnosis of sports-related hip and groin injuries in the setting of negative radiographs, also it can determine early signs of stress fracture before it appear in X-ray. so, more details about different lesions can be obtained from MRI and This help in accurate diagnosis, rapid treatment of different athlete lesions and determine time plane of returning to the sport by follow up imaging.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: The presence of dysphagia is a rather common event, both physiologically in elderly people and the presence of neurological, maxillofacial, or upper digestive pathologies. Many drugs are routinely taken in solid form for the convenience of use, however, in such patients, it becomes difficult to swallow tablets or capsules and it is important to both have liquid alternatives and possibly handle the solid forms correctly. In this article, we want to describe the correct handling of solid pharmaceutical forms or the transition to liquid ones where present.
Methodology: the article was written by integrating one's knowledge of pharmacology and pharmaceutical techniques with printed material and online articles extracted from databases google scholar and PubMed.
Discussion and Conclusions: The liquid forms, where they exist, are important in the management of drug therapy in the dysphagia patient. In the absence of therapeutic alternatives or liquid forms of the same principle, the solid forms can be manipulated within certain limits, paying attention to the interactions with nutritional mixtures and other drugs and above all not obstructing the probe and not compromising the kinetic and dynamic characteristics of the active ingredient.

Demography, Late Antiquity
Authors: Horden Peregrine 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAcross the ancient world there were probably fewer people in 700cethan there had been in 300ce. If there was “decline and fall,” it was demographic. However, there precision and agreement end. Since we cannot reliably estimate the aggregate population in any period of antiquity, we cannot give a rough order of magnitude to the decline, and estimates vary greatly (50 percent or more at the pessimistic end of the spectrum).

Oracles, Pharaonic Egypt
Authors: MOORE TERESA 
Published: July 2022

AbstractFrom the mid‐18th Dynasty onwards, the Egyptian tradition of oracular consultation is attested by a wide variety of sources, both royal and private; petitioners of all stations presented queries requiring an affirmative or negative answer or read a list from which a god would choose. The deity's decision was expressed through the perceived movements of the sacred image by priests who bore it in procession. Although the possibility of falsification was recognized, the public nature of the oracle and its oversight by community leaders encouraged confidence in the practice, which endured down to Greco‐Roman times.

Abstract
Piazza Armerina is a luxury Roman villa in Sicily probably built in the second quarter of the fourth century, although some date it either in part or in whole to the late fourth century. It has nearly 4000 sq m of mosaic floors, both figured and geometric, and one marble‐paved hall, as well as several fountains, two bath suites, and fragments of marble statues. The figured mosaics include genre scenes (marine displays), mythological compositions, and autobiographical pavements (featuring games in Rome put on by the owner as magistrate). An earthquake terminated elite life here in the fifth century.

Published: July 2022

AbstractXanten is the nearest modern town to the site of the Roman town ofColonia Ulpia Traiana, founded in ca. 99ce. It was previously, for all of the first centuryce, a settlement of the local Ciberni tribe. Excavation has revealed much about the defenses and some of the public and private buildings within, including classical‐style and Romano‐Celtic temples, a large bath, and an amphitheater. Its heyday was in the second century; it was damaged in third‐century barbarian attacks and a late Roman fort (?) was erected around the central part of the town in the late third century.
Imperialism in the Roman Empire (east)
Authors: Erskine Andrew , Mitchell Stephen 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIn 229bce, when Roman forces first crossed the Adriatic Sea to fight the Illyrians, the eastern Mediterranean was a Greco‐Macedonian domain. Dynasties that traced their origin back to Macedon ruled in kingdoms based in Egypt, Syria, and Macedon itself. In mainland Greece there were also two influential confederations, the Aitolian League and the Achaian League. By the end of the first centurybcethis whole power structure had been overthrown. In its place were Roman governors, Roman taxes, and Roman garrisons. Instead of kingdoms there were Roman provinces.

Burgundians
Authors: Grose Becca 
Published: July 2022

AbstractGroups named Burgundians are attested in Roman accounts of Eastern Europe from the first centurybce, and, by the second centuryce, Burgundians are attested on the Roman Rhineland frontiers. The best‐attested Burgundians are the barbarian group that were settled near Lake Geneva in a region of Gaul named Sapaudia in the fifth centuryce, and extended their hegemony down the Rhone valley. Burgundian territorial control diminished during the rules of Gundobad and Sigismund before the last ruler, Godomar, was deposed by the Franks in 534. Relationships between these Burgundian groups are debated, as is the veracity of their reception in later epics.

AbstractElectrophysiology and optical imaging provide complementary neural sensing capabilities – electrophysiological recordings have high temporal resolution, while optical imaging allows recording of genetically‐defined populations at high spatial resolution. Combining these two modalities for simultaneous large‐scale, multimodal sensing of neural activity across multiple brain regions can be very powerful. Here, transparent, inkjet‐printed electrode arrays with outstanding optical and electrical properties are seamlessly integrated with morphologically conformant transparent polymer skulls. Implanted on transgenic mice expressing the Calcium (Ca2+) indicator GCaMP6f in excitatory neurons, these “eSee‐Shells” provide a robust opto‐electrophysiological interface for over 100 days. eSee‐Shells enable simultaneous mesoscale Ca2+imaging and electrocorticography (ECoG) acquisition from multiple brain regions covering 45 mm2of cortex under anesthesia and in awake animals. The clarity and transparency of eSee‐Shells allow recording single‐cell Ca2+signals directly below the electrodes and interconnects. Simultaneous multimodal measurement of cortical dynamics reveals changes in both ECoG and Ca2+signals that depend on the behavioral state.

AbstractThe pits and fissures of teeth have high caries susceptibility, and sealing these areas is considered as an effective method to prevent caries. However, long‐term caries prophylaxis cannot be maintained because of the negative effects derived from the technical sensitivity and disadvantages of sealing materials. Herein, a new strategy is proposed to occlude fossae by amyloid‐mediated biomimetic remineralization. In contrast to conventional inward blocking from the outside of fossae, amyloid‐mediated biomimetic mineralization delivers an amyloid‐like protein nanofilm into the deepest zone of the fossae and induces the formation of remineralized enamel inside. Such assembly from lysozyme conjugated with poly (ethylene glycol) enriches the interface with strongly bonded ionsand directs in situ nucleation to achieve enamel epitaxial growth. Not only is the structure of the enamel‐like crystalline hydroxyapatite layer but also its mechanical stability is similar to that of natural enamel. Furthermore, the layer shows good biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. On the basis of the findings, it is demonstrated that amyloid‐like protein aggregation may provide an enamel remineralization strategy to modify the current clinically available methods of pit and fissure sealing and shows great promise in preventing caries.

AbstractVirus‐based immunotherapy is a promising approach to treat tumor. Closely mimicking the structure and sequential infection processes of natural viruses is highly desirable for effective tumor immunotherapy but remains challenging. Here, inspired by the robust innate immunity induced by herpesvirus, a herpesvirus‐mimicking nanoparticle (named Vir‐ZM@TD) is engineered for tumor therapy by mimicking the structure and infection processes of herpesvirus. In this biomimetic system, DNAzyme‐loaded manganese‑doped zeolitic imidazolate framework‑90 (ZIF‐90) nanoparticles (ZM@TD) mimic the virus nucleocapsid containing the genome; the erythrocyte membrane mimics the viral envelope; and two functional peptides, RGD and HA2 peptides, resemble the surface glycoprotein spikes of herpesvirus. Vir‐ZM@TD can both effectively evade rapid clearance in the blood circulation and closely mimic the serial infection processes of herpesvirus, including specific tumor targeting, membrane fusion‐mediated endosomal escape, and TFAM (transcription factor A, mitochondrial) deficiency‐triggered mitochondrial DNA stress, as well as the release of manganese ions (Mn2+) from organelles into the cytosol, ultimately effectively priming cGAS‐STING pathway‐mediated innate immunity with 68% complete regression of primary tumors and extending by 32 days the median survival time of 4T1‐tumor‐bearing mice.

Published: July 2022

AbstractBiSbTe‐based nanocomposites hybridized with ceramic nanoparticles have recently revealed their higher efficiency as thermoelectric materials for near room‐temperature applications, as compared to the traditional BiTe‐SbTe alloys. Herein, the incorporation of ultra‐small Bi nanoprecipitates into the microstructure of a Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3/Sb2O3 nanocomposite and the consequential effects on the thermal and electrical transport properties of this three‐phase hybrid system is reported. Electron microscopy characterization and systematic analysis of the thermoelectric properties of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3/Sb2O3/Bi nanoprecipitate samples suggest that the minute Bi nanoprecipitates increase the charge carrier concentration of the nanocomposites, act as effective scattering sites throughout the microstructure, and shift the maximum Seebeck coefficient values to higher temperatures.
