Análisis de las políticas educativas y los desafíos de la lengua indígena Garífuna en Honduras
Authors: García Sandoval Randolfo 
Published: August 2022

La presente investigación tiene como principal propósito de estudio el análisis de las políticas educativas y los desafíos de la lengua indígena Garífuna en el contexto de la política educativa intercultural bilingüe hondureña. Los Garínagü, inicialmente conocidos hasta gran parte del siglo XX como caribes negros, son la expresión de un proceso de mestizaje entre africanos de diferentes procedencia y pueblos indígenas carib-arawak (Aikhenvald, 2006) que ocurrió durante el período colonial en las Antillas Menores, principalmente en la isla de San Vicente (Yurümein). La presente investigación tiene la finalidad de analizar, desde una propuesta critica, los efectos de la implementación de políticas educativas, como la educación intercultural bilingüe, en la lengua y pensamiento garífuna, considerando que estas políticas promueven elementos sociolingüísticos relacionados con la minorización lingüística. Para efectos de este estudio se entiende la minorización lingüística como un proceso social, político, cultural que involucra el papel de las normas de uso social restrictivas con relación a la lengua propia, garífuna, es decir, que dicha lengua no puede usarse en determinados ámbitos, frente a las normas de uso expansivas características de la lengua dominante en Honduras (español). El estudio se plantea a partir de una hipótesis, se sustenta en un marco teórico con enfoque critico histórico-cultural-decolonial. Por tanto, las estructuras de dominio no son exclusivas de realidades como la latinoamericana u hondureña donde históricamente han convivido diferentes lenguas, dialectos o formas de pensamiento diferentes de las llamadas lenguas universales, como es también el caso de muchos países europeos.
A Biblical and Theological View on Human Sexuality: A Case Study of Selected Churches in Nairobi
Authors: Nzioka Jeremiah Ngundo 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: This research intended to conduct a theological appraisal of the church’s teachings on human sexuality and the role she has in mitigating the problems ensuing from a lack of understanding or misuse of human sexuality. The researcher discussed the problem of sexuality by examining the views of authors who agreed with the fact that there was a problem in the way society had understood and harnessed human sexuality. The response and teaching of the church were a central concern of the researcher. The researcher discussed the problem of condemning the victims of sexual perversion and further expressed the need for the church to redefine her methods of reclaiming people from unhealthy and unbiblical sexual habits.
Methodology: This study used a qualitative design. The researcher collected data from individuals from three selected churches in Nairobi County, Kenya with semi-structured interviews as the sole instrument of data collection. The analyses of the data were done using thematic and descriptive analysis methods. The three churches included Christ is The Answer Ministries (CITAM) Valley Road, African Inland Church, Milimani and Ufalme Church, Nairobi.
Findings: The findings revealed that the church had not done enough in teaching about human sexuality and in giving a practical solution to church members who struggled with sexual perversions. This left Christians with unorthodox sources of information and education on the subject such as media and the internet.
Unique contribution to theory and practice: The researcher recommends that the church should treat human sexuality as an important area that should not be shunned but should be addressed with passion. Correct biblical guidance on recovery and freedom from addictions should be offered by church pastors to all persons that have sexual addictions and the ones that have the potential of struggling with sexual perversions. The church should work to enhance psycho-social therapies to help members of their congregation and others who have sexual addictions.
A Ratiocinative Assessment of A.J. Ayer’s Rejection of Metaphysics.
Authors: Ekong Joseph T 
Published: August 2022

Purpose: This paper aims at exposing and appraising the arguments of A.J. Ayer against metaphysics, as reflected in the first chapter of his book, Language, Truth and Logic. It shall explore the basic assumptions, content and concerns of the metaphysical enterprise, and place them in careful juxtaposition with A.J. Ayer’s positivist assumptions in order to discover whether the claims he makes regarding metaphysics are really valid or not. The conclusion will emphasize the relevance and irrefutability of metaphysics.
Methodology: The work is expository, analytic, critical and evaluative, in its methodology.
Findings: Sir Alfred Julius Ayer was an English philosopher who developed key features of logical positivism. His book Language, Truth, and Logic (1936) is one of the most influential philosophy books in the 20th century, addressing questions of reality, perception, knowledge and meaning. In it Ayer explains important positivist ideas, like the principle of verifiability as a criterion of meaning, the rejection of metaphysics, and the emotivist theory of ethics. In Ayer’s logical empiricism, philosophy is no longer seen as a metaphysical concern, nor as an attempt to provide speculative truths about the nature of ultimate reality. Instead, philosophy is seen as an activity of defining and clarifying the logical relationships of empirical propositions.
Unique Contribution to theory, practice and policy (recommendation): The ratiocinative discussion of A. J. Ayer’s rejection of Metaphysics, offers an alternative perspective on how Metaphysics should be construed, given its centrality to, and in-eliminability in philosophical discourses.

Nanoparticles have been promptly studied and developed for oral protein delivery. Selection of excipients and formulation method depends on the physicochemical characteristics of the protein carried. Therefore, this study aims to design a formulation and characterize the alginate coated chitosan nanoparticles which carried different protein. Alginate coated chitosan nanoparticles were formed using an ionic gelation method. Optimization was done by varying the parameter such as crosslinker concentration, agitation method, rate, and time. The results show that chitosan nanoparticles formed by sonication using sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP): chitosan (1:0.8) was the best method to form nanoparticles. The particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme nanoparticles were 812.2 nm and 0.412 for BSA while 793.3 nm and 0.438 for lysozyme. Encapsulation efficiency (EE) of BSA is 52 % and lysozyme is 68 %. In vitro tests on acidic/gastric conditions showed that lysozyme (±32 %) was released faster than BSA (±10 %) during the 24 h incubation. Under neutral/terminal intestine conditions, percentage of BSA (±17 %) release is slightly higher than lysozyme (±13 %) for 8 h incubation period. It was concluded that the formulation of alginate coated chitosan nanoparticles in this study appears to be more effective for BSA delivery than lysozyme.
HIGHLIGHTS

Nanoparticle vesicular system is an effective approach for protein drug delivery system
Factors affecting the formation of chitosan nanoparticle are crosslinker concentration, agitation method, rate, and time
Alginate coated chitosan nanoparticle was more effective for oral delivery of BSA compared to lysozyme

Published: August 2022

Numerical analysis using computational fluid dynamics is an affordable and effective method with increasing relevance every day in research and engineering problems. Choosing an appropriate convective discretization scheme is paramount importance for obtaining more accurate solutions using CFD methods. The present study compares two commonly used numerical convective schemes, the upwind scheme of Advection Upstream Splitting Method (AUSM) and the central schemes of Kurganov-Noelle-Petrova and Kurganov-Tadmor scheme (K-T) have been made to find the better central scheme. These two schemes are validated with inviscid 1D and 2D problems such as Sod’s shock tube, forward facing step in a Mach 3 tunnel, 15 Degree ramp in a Mach 2 supersonic tunnel, the Mach-reflection problem and scramjet engine operating under high Mach number. The AUSM and K-T schemes are robust enough to capture all the features of compressible flows. Comparison of results obtained by these 2 schemes is presented using density contours and surface property changes. It has been observed that both the schemes are robust enough to capture the flow features of the problems and that they have better accuracy for different conditions.
HIGHLIGHTS

This paper focuses on two convective flux discretization techniques i.e. the upwind scheme of AUSM and the central schemes of K-T and KNP
Inviscid simulations for various problems in the supersonic as well as hypersonic regime were used in Sod’s 1-Dimensional Shock Tube, flow over forward facing step in supersonic wind tunnel and Mach 5 flow thorough scramjet engine
The AUSM and K-T schemes are robust enough to capture all the features of compressible flows. It has been observed that both the schemes are robust enough to capture the flow features of the problems and that they have better accuracy for different conditions

Published: August 2022

Cementitious materials have been attempted to achieve more environmentally friendly construction materials. Nanomaterials with smaller particle sizes than cement can enhance the hydration gel structure. This report presents the processing of prepared waste paper into nanomaterials as raw materials available in abundant resources and supports the waste recycling process. Materials were processed by alkaline treatment using 5, 10 and 15 % NaOH solutions and 2 % NaClO at heating temperatures of 100, 125 and 150 °C. Testing the characteristics of the materials aims to determine the effect of heating temperature and concentration of NaOH used in the processing of nanomaterials. Based on the XRD test results, the use of lower temperatures showed that the amorphous phase, which is the main factor in the level of reactivity of the materials, tends to increase with increasing NaOH concentration. SEM morphology analysis showed that lower heating temperature was more effective in removing lignin content after alkaline treatment. The lignin content that can cause weathering needs to be removed and achieve maximum effect in bleaching nanomaterials based on waste paper. The particle size distribution results of nanomaterials were obtained with a size of 255-513 nm. Nanomaterials prepared from recycled materials are attracting interest as a new binder in nanocomposites.

Published: August 2022

The physical characteristics of a crystal can be viewed from the distribution of magnetic energy contained in it so that a simulation is needed which helps in visualizing the magnetic energy of the crystals. This study aims to present a simple solution for constructing a simulation of the physical properties of cubic crystals using MATLAB software. MATLAB can also be used to help organize physics lectures remotely. This is because MATLAB can be operated by anyone, anytime, and anywhere without being connected to the internet network to help visualize the material magnetization concept in the form of 2- and 3-dimensional graphics. The simulation aims to visualize the magnetic anisotropy energy surface for cubic crystals. This simulation can visualize the magnetic anisotropy energy surface of 3 types of cubic crystals, namely simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic. In this simulation, the difference between the 3 types of crystals is the anisotropy energy constant. The mathematical equations in the magnetic anisotropy energy surface for cubic crystals are quite complicated. This simulation can help students in exploring mathematical equations and studying the magnetic anisotropy energy surface for cubic crystals more. Students can also develop mathematical representation skills and creative visual representations of the magnetic anisotropy energy surface for cubic crystals.
HIGHLIGHTS

The uniaxial anisotropy energy equation is closely related to helping to realize the behavior of materials
Visualization of magnetic anisotropy energy surfaces in a crystal is influenced by the shape of the crystal and the value of its anisotropy constant
Physics lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic require a variety of lectures that utilize the computational program-based physics equation simulation media
Magnetic anisotropy energy surfaces on a crystal can be visualized through the help of computational programs to support physics lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic
MATLAB can be used to visualize magnetic anisotropy energy surfaces because it can be operated by anyone, anytime, and anywhere without being connected to the internet network

Published: August 2022

Triphala formulation is one of the most common traditional medicines used for several health conditions. The study aimed to investigate the inhibitory and inducing potentials of Triphala formulation, including its active compounds gallic acid and ellagic acid, on cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. The inhibitory effects of Triphala formulation, gallic acid and ellagic acid on the 5 major human CYP450 enzymes were evaluated using a bioluminescent CYP450 inhibition assay. Evaluation of inducing effect of Triphala formulation on CYP1A2 and CYP3A1 mRNA expression following daily oral doses of 1,000 and 5,000 mg/kg body weight for 28 days was evaluated using RT-PCR. Gallic acid potently inhibited CYP1A2, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 with a non-competitive nature, while the inhibitory potencies on CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 were weak. Chronic dosing of Triphala formulation at 1,000 and 3,000 mg/kg body weight significantly induced mRNA expression of CYP1A2 but not CYP3A1. Results suggest the propensity of metabolic drug interactions when Triphala formulation was concurrently administered with other conventional drugs or herbal medicines.

Pedetan is processed food of seasoned sardine fish (Sardinella lemuru) which is preserved by drying. Isolation and identification of mold that contaminated the pedetan have been taken from 10 villages which are production centers in Jembrana Regency. Molds that can contaminate pedetan during storage, include Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus aculeatus, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus tubingensis. In this research, the composition of the seasoning from the producer was used to inhibit the growth of contaminant fungi. The minimum antimicrobial inhibition test was carried out by the well diffusion method and the seasoning extract was tested for its inhibition on mold growth on potato dextrose agar (PDA) media. Mold colonies growth test and testing the effect of extracts on mold biomass were carried out in vitro with potato dextrose broth (PDB) media. The results showed that the composition of seasoning garlic, coriander, kaemfiera, galangal, ginger, vinegar, and salt can inhibit Aspergillus spp. Seasoning extract concentrations of 0.5 % (w/v) diameter of inhibitory zone minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) are 0.8 and 1.2 mm for A. aculeatus and A. niger, by 1 mm for A. flavus and A. tubingensis, respectively. Seasoning extract at a concentration of 0.5 % (w/v) is also able to inhibit up to 100 % to the growth of the colony, conidia germination, conidia density, and biomass of A. flavus, A. aculeatus, A. niger, and A. tubingensis that contaminate the sardine fishes pedetan.

Dressing and Undressing Duchamp
Authors: Mida Ingrid E. 
Published: August 2022

Among the vast body of material on iconoclastic artist Marcel Duchamp, an aspect that is little-studied is his engagement with clothing. This book reveals that clothing and dressing are significant themes that recur in Duchamp’s life and his work – including his drawings, his fashioning of his body, his readymades, and in his curatorial gestures. In examining the items of clothing worn by Duchamp and the related traces of his wardrobe management, Duchamp is unmasked as a dandy. His waistcoat readymade series Made to Measure (1957-1961) is in fact a remarkable and deliberate effort to recalibrate the definition of the readymade to include clothing. With this little-studied readymade series, Duchamp established a precedent for sartorial art as a valid form of artistic expression.
In considering the material traces of Duchamp’s fashioning of his body and identity in his work and life, this book makes a highly original contribution to the understanding of Duchamp’s work as well as the significance of the clothed body in the vanguard of Modernism.
