Esta investigación evaluó el efecto de la poda de macrófitas sobre microorganismos adheridos al medio de soporte y la remoción de DBO5 en tres humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial (HAFS) experimentales con especies de Phragmites australis (HAFS-Carrizo), Pontederia sagittata (HAFS-Tule) y grava como testigo (HAFS-Grava). Se utilizaron nueve unidades (con réplicas). Los HAFS con 1.2 m de ancho, 2.5 m de largo y 0.5 m de profundidad se alimentaron con 200 L/d agua residual doméstica. Las variables estudiadas al medio de soporte fueron microorganismos adheridos, porosidad, densidad, diámetro y humedad para estimar el tiempo de retención y conductividad hidráulica. En las especies se midieron las variables de productividad después de la poda y se estimó la remoción y el coeficiente cinético de degradación k para la DBO5. El experimento fue un diseño de un factor (tratamiento) con tres niveles (HAFS-Tule, HAFS-Carrizo y HAFS-Grava); se evaluaron durante tres meses, después del año de operación. Los tratamientos se evaluaron mediante Anova (paramétricos) y la prueba de rangos de Kruskal-Wallis (no paramétricos) entre grupos antes y después de podar (p < 0.05). La grava presentó en promedio (N = 12) 22.92 ± 1.47 % de humedad, 2.32 ± 0.15 cm de diámetro, densidad de partícula 2.71 ± 0.10 gr/cm3 y porosidad de 36.52 ± 3.36 %, el TRH fue de 3.1 días en todos los tratamientos. El mejor tratamiento fue HAFS-Tule: antes de la poda la biomasa de microorganismos presentó valores medianos (N = 12) de 42931.6 mg/kg (Q1 = 40259.7; Q3 = 54478.4) y posterior a la poda de 33444.6 mg/kg (Q1 = 31210.9; Q3 = 36581.8), la biomasa vegetal retirada en la poda fue de 40.85 ± 2.58 kg, se removió 95.44 % de DBO5 con una k = 1.004 días-1 (27.6 °C), lo que permite cumplir la NOM-001-Semarnat-1996.

Rice husk has been converted into activated carbon for the adsorbent to remove the heavy metal from the aqueous solution. This study aimed to convert rice husk to activated carbon (AC) for use in the adsorption of Fe ions in a fixed-bed column. Rice husk was first pyrolyzed in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas at 400 oC, then a chemical activation method using sodium hydroxide. The rice husk activated carbon (RH-AC) was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) to identify the functional group and microstructure of carbon. The performance of the carbon was tested on the Fe removal from an aqueous solution in a continuous column. The adsorption process was carried out using Fe solution with an initial concentration of 3 mg/L as an artificial sample. The amount of carbon is 25, and 50 g were filled in an adsorber column with a diameter of 5.4 cm and height of 40 cm. SEM images revealed that the activated carbons shown with well-developed pore sizes and pore structure were produced after the chemical activation. The FTIR absorption bands observed in the RH-AC sample confirmed the presence of hydroxyl (-OH), carbonyl, and carboxylic (-COOH) groups of RH-AC adsorbent. The highest Fe removal efficiencies were 91.9% on chemically activated carbon and column mass 50 g at 400 minutes. The overall study revealed the potential value of chemically activated RH-AC as a possible commercial adsorbent in a continuous column wastewater treatment strategy.

Published: January 2022

This article examines the role and function of Nazhir (guardian of endowment) in the empowerment of waqf objects in the Legal District of Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The aim is to increase Nazir's professionalism in increasing the productivity of waqf assets to be able to provide maximum benefits to the general public (ummah) in a sustainable manner. In Bogor district, there are waqf assets in the form of land totaling 5,686 locations within land areas of 4,433,860 M2. With such a large number of waqf assets, if managed professionally, the waqf will certainly be able to bring the sustainability of the Ummah economy, especially the sustainability of education for the younger generation. However, as this study found, only a few Nazhirs in the Bogor Regency area who have begun to develop productive waqf assets. The majority of Nazirs still use the old pattern which is not conducive to the development of the productivity of waqf property. Therefore it is necessary to optimize the role and function of Nazhir through continuous coaching by the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI). In the form of (1) meetings in the context of coaching, (2) training activities, and (3) socialization related to the latest regulations regarding the management of waqf objects.

This study describes the political dynamics of Muhammadiyah and its relevance to the constitutional concept from Islamic political perspective. This research uses descriptive, and historical approach. The results of the study finds out: First, the characteristics of an Islamic state are applying God's law, adopting a form of leadership, being universal, not totalitarian, and applying a humane leadership pattern. This character is supported by a leadership system based on basic principles in the Islamic state (al-mabda 'al-asāsī fi dawlah al-Islamiyyah) which includes: trustworthiness (al-amānah), deliberation (al-syūrā), equality (al- musāwā), justice (al-'adālah), and plurality (al-ta 'addudiyya). Second, the Muhammadiyah doctrine originates from the al-Qur'an and al-Hadith and contains a system of beliefs, thoughts, and actions which, as a whole, is accumulated into the ideology and values of the Muhammadiyah movement. This doctrine is then outlined in Muhammadiyah's statute and Bylaws (AD/ART) and covers all steps and strategies for the struggle, personality, beliefs and way of life of Muhammadiyah. Third, political theology and universal and fundamental religious understanding serve as guidelines, and at the same time, as the blueprint for Muhammadiyah's political midset which is implemented through political and cultural channels in the realm of high, allocative politics.

Published: January 2022

Government regulations regarding health protocols during the Covid-19 pandemic have resulted in many impacts and dilemmatic atmosphere in almost all community activities relating to the economic, social, political, and religious fields. This effect can be seen clearly in all community activities, including in the implementation of wedding ceremonies and receptions. This study tries to identify the impact of these regulations on wedding traditions in the North Coast region of Java, precisely in Winong and Pucakwangi sub-districts, South Pati. The research focuses on two types of activities, namely the process of wedding ceremony and the wedding reception. This qualitative research uses a socio-normative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation which were then analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. Interviews were conducted with some prospective bride and groom couples and marriage registrats in the local area. This study found that citizens, starting from the general public to the social, political, and religious leaders, tend not to care about the provisions on health protocols regulated by the government. This tendency can be seen in the public's response to these provisions at the time of marriage, which can be classified into three types of groups, namely affirmative, conditional-adaptive, and ignorance

Published: January 2022

The use of wind based energy is quickly expanding over the planet. The goal of this study is to use computational methods of fluid dynamics to develop a novel model of VAWT including Windbooster for various rotor blades like two, three, and four blades in order to enhance effectiveness. CAD modelling approaches of vertical axis wind turbines including and excluding booster are created. Including all vertical axis wind turbine blade designs including and excluding booster, torque, power, and Coefficient of performance are compared.The performance of three blades on the basis of mechanical properties includingi wind amplifier is 29.9% greater than two blades using wind amplifier, and four blades using wind amplifier is 21.5 percent greater than three blades using wind amplifier, according to the findings. Because the mechanical energy created by a four-blade wind booster wasn't as great as it is including three blades, VAWT employing three-blade wind booster seems to be more effective than VAWT with a two- or four-blade wind booster. For improved mechanical durability, VAWT with three-blade wind amplifier is recommended.

Motifs of homosexuality in Virginia Woolf’s Orlando
Authors: Kellerová Nina , Reid Eva 
Published: January 2022

AbstractTo avoid the stigma of societal dissaproval, love for somebody of the same sex has often been hidden from the declinatory views of the public; however, it has also been secretively transcribed into a broad spectrum of art. Virginia Woolf embroidered her homosexuality into the grotesque lines of Orlando. At the time, Woolf was engaged in an intense lesbian relationship with author Vita Sackville-West, who served as a model for the work’s main character. Woolf proclaimed her masterpiece “A Biography”, mirroring the duality of her own and Vita’s character, the perpetual beauty of the book’s hero, enduring for centuries, and his subtle gender transition. In the paper, we discuss some of the homosexual motifs in Orlando, which were formed by different influences, including the queer movement, ancient Greek literature and feminism.

In accordance with the World Health Organization's call on all countries to use traditional medicine in primary care, we set out to help complete the list of medicinal plants in Romania using information from traditional medicine in other countries.
Malaria among Croatian seafarers between 2004 and 2014: evaluation of chemoprophylaxis use and occupational disease reporting
Authors: Žunić-Pedisić Fani , Knežević Bojana 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
In Croatia, malaria was eradicated in 1964 and has since been imported, ten cases a year in average, mostly by Croatian migrant workers, seafarers in particular. About 80 % of registered cases were infected in Africa and the main reason for infection was negligence in the use of chemoprophylaxis. The aim of the study was to establish the incidence of malaria among Croatian seafarers from 2004 to 2014, how many of them took chemoprophylaxis properly, and whether malaria was acknowledged as occupational disease. To get our answers we analysed epidemiological surveys of the Croatian Institute of Public Health completed by patients and reviewed epidemiological bulletins and the national Register of Occupational Diseases. Over the investigated period, a total of 102 people fell ill with malaria, of whom 25 were seafarers. Seventeen did not take chemoprophylaxis at all and eight took them without following instructions. In addition, none of them had malaria recognised as occupational disease under Croatian law, nor is there any information that they exercised their rights in any other way. All this clearly points out that seafarers and their employers need to be informed much better about the benefits of preventive measures and their labour rights.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
In acute conditions, vaccines are very important, although they provide antibodies for fighting against COVID-19 for a certain period. It is necessary to produce an anti-viral agent for a usual healing process against SARS CoV-2 which is responsible the pandemic we are living in. Many drugs with benzimidazole main scaffold are still used in a wide variety of treatment procedures. In this case, substituted benzimidazole structures could be good candidates for fighting against COVID-19. Theoretical calculation methods could be a key tool for overcome the difficulties of individual analyzing of each new structure. In this study, new benzimidazole structures were synthesized and characterized for in silico evaluation as anti-viral agent. The molecules were optimized and analyzed for reactivity with Koopmans Theorem. Also, molecular docking simulations were performed for SARS coronavirus main peptidase (PDB ID: 2GTB), COVID-19 main protease (PDB ID: 5R82), and papain-like protease of SARS CoV-2 (PDB ID: 6W9C) crystals.
Promoting Environmental Citizenship Through Local Socio-Cultural Traditions in Science Education
Authors: Häyrynen Simo , Keinonen Tuula , Kärkkäinen Sirpa 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This article asks how the site-specific parameters of pro-environmental behaviour can be seen in educational doctrines and in the practices of science education, and what impact they have on the development of environmental citizenship. Environmental citizenship as an agent of change is key to sustainability transition. Our viewpoint is that a contextual resource doctrine provides a framework of people’s environmental values, meaning both the capacity to fulfil the requirements of the doctrine and the ability to critically reflect it by rational-scientific arguments. Thus, place-specificity and sense of place should be highlighted in citizenship science education. In order to explain the multi-scalar nature of learning requirements, we apply the idea of ‘trans-contextualisation’ in science education. In the article we use examples which are derived from university students’ favourite places reflecting sense of place as well as three cases, which start from the near secondary school students’ environment and discuss local environmental issues. In this study we used qualitative and quantitative research methods. The results show that by promoting contextually sensitive environmental citizenship through Socio-scientific Issues (SSI) in science education, we could accelerate the transition to sustainable future. If cultural traditions, anecdotal and local knowledge are not incorporated in the expert scientific knowledge, sustainability transition is constantly in danger for remaining an isolated activity in the shadow of resource realism.
Visual Compassion for Women’s Empowerment
Authors: Sakai Nanako 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Little attention has been given to principles of Buddhist moral conduct in the West. There are ten virtuous actions of Buddhist moral conduct, called the Ten Virtuous Deeds of the Bodhisattvas. Drawing from the works of contemporary women thinkers and artists, this article considers how the beauty of human nature and spirituality can be cultivated based on Buddhist feminist perspectives. There are many oppressed women in Asian countries whose voices are not heard in society. Buddhist feminism based on the Ten Virtuous Deeds of the Bodhisattvas can probe deeply into the heart of the moral issues and nurture the powerful flow of spiritual energy for the women. This is a theoretical study that elaborates on women’s struggle for their liberation as inspired by the art of Rima Fujita.
Actual State of COVID-19 Strategy Meetings
Authors: Arai Takao , Saito Kengo , Hirai Yuji 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The authors of this paper applied a new approach combining text mining and principal component analysis (PCA) to objectively determine the actual state of regional COVID-19 strategy meetings and verified its utility. The authors used text mining to analyze meeting minutes and extracted words with high phase ubiquity by co-occurrence analysis. Then, they selected words symbolizing the meeting contents (“report,” “prevention,” “rules,” and “decision”) and performed PCA using the occurrence rates of these words as variables. Two principal components (PC1, PC2) were set. For PC1, we observed maximum factor loading for “decision” (0.81) and minimum for “report” (-0.72), so we considered this axis to show the “depth of meeting discussions.” For PC2, we observed maximum factor loading for “prevention” (0.81) and minimum for “rule” (-0.76). We considered this axis to show “regional infection status.” When we created a plot of all 44 meetings, Phase 1 occurred in quadrants 3 to 4 (knowledge sharing), phase 2 began in quadrant 1 (preparation for spread), and phase 3 shifted to quadrant 2 (response to spread) with significant differences between these phases. Our findings suggest that the actual state of regional COVID-19 strategy meetings could be objectively determined by using a combination of text mining and PCA.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
The issue of security and safety i s a fundamental condition for stable economic trends. Military expenditure can be a very powerful tool for a rapid economic growth. The paper examines the long-run relationship between military expenditure and economic growth in the selected Balkan countries, such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia for the period 2004-2018. The analysis implies a panel unit root test, a panel cointegration test, as well as a panel Granger causality test. The results have identified a long-run relationship between military expenditure and economic growth in the Balkan countries based on panel data analysis. Also, empirical findings have confirmed that shock experience in one of the countries’ military expenditure and economic growth have effect on other countries. Finally, the results have determined unidirectional causality from military expenditure to economic growth in these countries and not vice versa.

Authors: Uhrinová A. , Ungvarská Maľučka L. 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The fungi of the genus Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Berk.) belong to entomopathogenic fungi. Ophiocordyceps sinensis has been used as a tonic and medicinal product in China for more than 2,000 years. A number of scientific papers have described the clinical use of this parasitic fungus with subsequent biological and pharmacological effects. The various chemical compounds identified in these fungi are responsible for a wide range of biological activity: cordycepin, cordycepic acid, D-mannitol, polysaccharides, nucleotides, proteins, amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids. Our research focused on the determinations of the biologically active chemical compounds in extracts from cultivated Ophiocordyceps fungi using UV/VIS (Ultraviolet/Visible) spectrophotometry and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy. The testing of antimicrobial activity of extracts against the collection strains of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated that the percentage of RIZD (relative inhibition zone diameter) ranged from 83 % to 166 %. The increased antimicrobial activity against E. coli was observed in comparison with that against S. aureus.
