Abstract
Despite the fact that vegetables are consumed in large quantities in our environment, there is a dearth of literature that focused on the optimum benefits to man especially in the management of disease like Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Nicotine, the major phyto-constituent of Nicotiana tabacum of the family Solanaceae has been reported to be present in some other species of the family. This study investigated the nicotine content and the dietary components in the leaves and fruits of selected species of cultivated vegetable plants belonging to Solanaceae family. Edible plants from Solanaceae family were grown till the fruiting stage in the experimental farm of Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, while Nicotiana tabacum was used as the control plant. Plants samples from mature leaves and fruits of each plant were harvested washed with de-ionized water, oven dried at 30°C. Powdered samples were analyzed for mineral and proximate components according to standard procedure and nicotine content were determined with GC-MS. Nicotine remained the major constituent of tobacco. Nicotyrine, a product of nicotine dehydrogenation was also detected in all the plant samples. Capsicum annum var. accuminatum fruit displayed the highest nicotine content (0.5543 mg/L) compared to the others with relatively lower quantities. Nicotyrine content was more available in the plant fruits than nicotine, with C. annum var abbreviatum displaying more of nicotyrine content (75.3456 mg/L). Solanum lycopersicum displayed the highest moisture contents (19.94 %), followed by tobacco leaf (11.88%). N. tabacum leaf displayed high quantity of protein (56.52%) than other members. The fruits of the solanaceae plant species were rich in carbohydrate, protein with very low amount of fat. This study revealed that the solanaceae plants contained more of nicotyrine than nicotine. In contrast to the previous studies, the nicotine content was higher in the eggplant leaves than the fruits. Eggplant and Capsicum species can be recommended for patient suffering from neurodegenerative diseases like PD.
Attitudes towards Sustainable Fashion in Romania

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The present study is an attempt at mapping the Romanian society’s attitudes towards sustainable fashion. Our analyses are based on the European Commission Eurobarometer 92.4 (2019) data relevant for Romania. We have looked into ten Likert-type variables focused on consumer attitudes regarding sustainable fashion. As a first step, we created a sustainable-fashion attitude scale, followed by an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) aimed at investigating the inner structure of the variables. Thereafter, we employed a linear regression analysis in a bid to answer the question as to which are the variables that account for commitment to sustainable fashion in Romania. Inter alia, our results suggest that positive attitudes towards sustainable fashion are most enhanced by awareness about environmental issues and sensitivity to environmental protection in general and are weakened most significantly by poor financial situation measured in terms of difficulty in paying the bills.
Besides gathering information on environmental protection from traditional media (the press), relying on Internet sources in this respect also increases support for the transition to a more environmentally conscious textile industry. Our analysis touches upon research limitations such as the attitude–action gap.
The Legacy of Katharine Hamnett’s T-shirts. Fashion as Activism
Authors: Maróy Krisztina 
Published: November 2022

AbstractFor a long time, fashion was only a novelty, an aesthetic pleasure, a means of individual self-expression, a possession (Veblen 1899), and a means of separation (Simmel 1904). In the last more than thirty years, following a change of attitude, fashion has also become interpretable as a medium of social activism. It no longer seeks to shape only wearable products and the style of their wearers but also the world (Fuad-Luke 2009). This essay interprets the career of British fashion designer Katharine Hamnett and her 1984 media scandal as the starting point for a shift in attitude, when fashion and social engagement became organically linked and dress became a means of bringing social and ecological issues into focus, beyond itself. Drawing on case studies, the essay explores the changing narrative around clothes, raising current issues such as the importance of using organic cotton as a raw material, the role of the active citizen, the limits of growth, or the meanings constructed by marketing. Although Hamnett’s work has received undeservedly little discussion, she has an undeniably important role to play in changing this narrative. Today, thanks to her activist design, social responsibility has become a fundamental principle in branding. We can never talk about fashion in the same way as before Hamnett.
Exhausting Beauties, Fashion Faux Pas, and Sartorial Rights. How Fashion Shaped the Self-definition of Gen X, Y, Z? A Case Study ofEuphoria,Girls, andSex and the City
Authors: Keszeg Anna 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe article focuses on fashion consumption patterns emerging from prominent TV series that have created generational fandoms. Three series (Sex and the City,Girls, andEuphoria) representing the three most important generations (Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z) present in contemporary US society and global popular culture highlight the most mainstream contemporary fashion attitudes. Based on a deductive approach-based thematic analysis with focus on the semantic role of the dress played in the visual narrative, the research considers how fashion is used in building characters and their fashion- and clothing-culture-related values. The analysis concludes that the most important features of the generational fashion attitudes are as follows: materialist individualism for generation X, irony and anti-fashion for generation Y, and psychological coping mechanism for generation Z.
Effects of prescribed fire on topsoil properties: a small-scale straw burning experiment

Published: November 2022

Abstract
A grassland was burned to investigate how a short prescribed fire affected soil physical and hydraulic properties, soil water balance, and emergent vegetation. Three years before the experiment at Řisuty, Czech Republic, the grassland was re-established on arable soil. At the experimental site there is a weather station and sensors measuring soil temperature and moisture at three different depths. The 5 m × 5 m burned plot was compared to a nearby unburned reference location. The loamy Cambisol soil was not water-repellent. 250 m2 of sun-dried grass was raked and burned at the burned plot. The fire lasted approximately 15-minute and reached 700 °C. Soil samples were taken immediately after the fire and weekly to monthly thereafter to quantify organic carbon content, soil structure stability, hydraulic conductivity, bulk density, and texture. According to the research results, it appears that temporary burning improved the hydraulic properties of the topsoil. The fire plot’s infiltration capacity was increased, and soil water content was higher than the control plot throughout the year, providing suitable habitat for colonizing vegetation. The results suggest that small-scale controlled biomass burning can be risk-free to the soil ecosystem and may even temporarily improve the hydraulic properties of the upper soil layer.
Hydrologic recovery after wildfire: A framework of approaches, metrics, criteria, trajectories, and timescales

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Deviations in hydrologic processes due to wildfire can alter streamflows across the hydrograph, spanning peak flows to low flows. Fire-enhanced changes in hydrologic processes, including infiltration, interception, and evapotranspiration, and the resulting streamflow responses can affect water supplies, through effects on the quantity, quality, and timing of water availability. Post-fire shifts in hydrologic processes can also alter the timing and magnitude of floods and debris flows. The duration of hydrologic deviations from a pre-fire condition or function, sometimes termed hydrologic recovery, is a critical concern for land, water, and emergency managers. We reviewed and summarized terminology and approaches for defining and assessing hydrologic recovery after wildfire, focusing on statistical and functional definitions. We critically examined advantages and drawbacks of current recovery assessment methods, outline challenges to determining recovery, and call attention to selected opportunities for advancement of post-fire hydrologic recovery assessment. Selected challenges included hydroclimatic variability, post-fire land management, and spatial and temporal variability. The most promising opportunities for advancing assessment of hydrologic recovery include: (1) combining statistical and functional recovery approaches, (2) using a greater diversity of post-fire observations complemented with hydrologic modeling, and (3) defining optimal assemblages of recovery metrics and criteria for common hydrologic concerns and regions.
An exploratory study into ash mobilization using lysimeters

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Wildfires burn vegetation and leave the resultant organic and inorganic ash into the soil surface. Depending on the temperatures and burn durations, the quantity and type of ash can vary widely. Ash mobilization following wildfire is a topic of major concern, since it may result in contamination of surface water bodies within and downstream of the burnt areas.
The present study aims to analyse the influence of black and white ash on surface runoff, leachate and total erosion and erosion of organic matter by running a field experiment along 6 weeks, using three replicate lysimeters with control soil, soil with addition of black ash and soil with addition of white ash. There was some suggestion but no statistical evidence that black ash reduced overland flow generation during the initial rainfall events, while black ash was found to increase sediment and organic matter losses by overland flow in a statistically significant manner. This was not during the initial rainfall events and, therefore, not directly related to the presence of a homogenous cover of a well-defined ash layer on the soil surface.
Dynamic Traveling Route Planning Method for Intelligent Transportation Using Incremental Learning-Based Hybrid Deep Learning Prediction Model with Fine-Tuning

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Predicting the most favorable traveling routes for Vehicles plays an influential role in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Shortest Traveling Routes with high congestion grievously affect the driving comfort level of VANET users in populated cities. As a result, increase in journey time and traveling cost. Predicting the most favorable traveling routes with less congestion is imperative to minimize the driving inconveniences. A major downside of existing traveling route prediction models is to continuously learn the real-time road congestion data with static benchmarking datasets. However, learning the new information with already learned data is a cumbersome task. The main idea of this paper is to utilize incremental learning on the Hybrid Learning-based traffic Congestion and Timing Prediction (HL-CTP) to select realistic, congestion-free, and shortest traveling routes for the vehicles. The proposed HL-CTP model is decomposed into three steps: dataset construction, incremental and hybrid prediction model, and route selection. Firstly, the HL-CTP constructs a novel Traffic and Timing Dataset (TTD) using historical traffic congestion information. The incremental learning method updates the novel real-time data continuously with the TDD during prediction to optimize the performance efficiency of the hybrid prediction model closer to real-time. Secondly, the hybrid prediction model with various deep learning models performs better by taking the route prediction decision based on the best sub-predictor results. Finally, the HL-CTP selects the most favorable vehicle routes selected using traffic congestion, timing, and uncertain environmental information and enhances the comfort level of VANET users. In the simulation, the proposed HL-CTP demonstrates superior performance in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).

Abstract
Conducting a safe briefing is essential to educate aircraft maintenance personnel, who very often encounter various unexpected and dangerous incidents. Their reaction to situations should be quick and adequate. To train aircraft maintenance professionals who cannot be practiced in real life due to high cost, danger, time or effort, virtual training seems like an obvious choice. This paper is devoted to the development of a calculation algorithm for assessing the risk of actions taken at the aircraft repair site, which was implemented in the training version of the virtual reality (VR) simulation. It includes a number of factors and elements that form the simulation scenario, influencing the degree of its complexity and the assessment of the performance of each exercise. Various components of the algorithm are presented, which allow assessing the skills of students of aviation specialist courses. The criterion for the acceptability of the developed algorithm is the correct assessment of the student’s skills in the course of training.

Coronary heart diseases are amongst the most common and severe diseases; also, the prevalence and emergence of these diseases are largely affected by psychological and social factors. The present study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy in groups on the cognitive strategies of emotion regulation and self-control in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
The present work is a quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest design and a control group.
The statistical population of this study included all patients with coronary heart disease aged 35-55 years who referred to hospitals, health centers, and cardiovascular clinics of Isfahan in the spring of 2018. Among these patients, 30 patients were selected based on the inclusion criteria of the study using a convenience sampling method. They were then divided randomly into two experimental and control groups, with 15 participants in each group. The patients in the experimental group participated in eight 60-minute sessions of the Hayes’ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (2002). However, no intervention was applied to the control group. The participants responded to the research questionnaires in two phases. The questionnaires included the Garnefski’s Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) (2001) and the Tangji’s self-control questionnaire (2004). The research data were analyzed using covariance analysis in SPSS 24.
The results of the covariance analysis indicated that the group-based acceptance and commitment therapy exerted a significant effect on the total score of the two strategies, i.e., the positive strategy of the cognitive regulation of emotions and the negative strategy of the cognitive regulation of emotions (p<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in terms of self-control (p> 0.05).
The findings of the present study showed that the treatment intervention resulted in increased use of acceptance strategies, positive re-focus, and re-focus, as well as reduced use of rumination and other-blaming strategies in cardiovascular patients in Isfahan.

The tendency toward cosmetic surgeries has been increasing all over the world. These surgeries are conducted to improve the functions related to the involved organ. Moreover, such procedures are supposed to have significant effects on an individual’s physical and mental health. This study aims at comparing doctor/patient satisfaction with the aesthetic outcomes of rhinoplasty.
In the present retrospective study, 60 patients, including 26 males and 34 females, were investigated. The patients were candidates for a nose job (rhinoplasty). One week before the surgery, the doctor and the patients were provided with questionnaires including information about the nasal hump, nostrils, nose tip size, upward sloping of the nose at the tip, the display of the middle-lower nose, nasal width, the nasal proportion compared with the face, and the general satisfaction. The information on the aforementioned items was collected to record the condition of nose beauty before rhinoplasty. After the surgery, the patients and the doctor were given the same questionnaire following one-month and three-month intervals, so that the aesthetic outcomes resulted from the surgery were evaluated.
In comparison to the first month, the surgeons and the patients had a higher level of satisfaction in the third month. The surgeons’ satisfaction with the upward sloping of the nose at the tip, as well as the display of the middle-lower nose, was greater compared to the patients. However, the patients’ satisfaction with the nostrils was higher than that of the surgeons. Regarding the other factors investigated in the present study, there was no significant difference between the satisfaction of patients and surgeons. For individuals whose educational levels were higher than high school, there was a higher satisfaction level with the nasal hump, the display of the middle-lower nose, and the nasal proportion compared with the face.

Traditional therapy and extensive use of medications and intravaginal autolymphocyte therapy show different results of the treatment of vulvovaginal infections. The purpose of the article was to explore safe and highly effective methods to treat vulvovaginal infections and diseases of the pelvic organs.
The standard clinical and laboratory screening of 70 patients of reproductive age was carried out to diagnose the diseases of the reproductive tract. The screening included the description of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of vaginal discharge, examining the mucous covering of the vulva and vagina, microscopic examination of Gram-stained vaginal swabs, endocervical cultures, and diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections using polymerase chain reaction. Intravaginal autolymphocyte therapy was used together with traditionally-accepted treatment schemes (etiotropic antibacterial and antifungal therapy) in the treatment of the main group (40 patients). Traditional treatment methods depending on the etiology of the development of infection were used in the control group (30 patients). The IgM, IgA, and IgG levels were also observed because of the possibility of causing embryo rejection. This study shows that in case of relapsing vulvovaginitis and mixed infections accompanied by disorders of the immune system at different levels, the use of intravaginal autolymphocyte therapy in a comprehensive therapy can be assessed as advisable and pathogenetically substantiated.
