In silico analysis of the Seven IN Absentia (SINA) genes in bread wheat sheds light on their structure in plants.

Seven IN Absentia (SINA) is a small family of genes coding for ubiquitin-ligases that play major roles in regulating various plant growth and developmental processes, as well as in plant response to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we studied the SINA genes family in bread wheat Triticum aestivum which is a culture of major importance for food security worldwide. One hundred and forty-one SINA family genes have been identified in bread wheat and showed that their number is very high compared to other plant species such as A. thaliana or rice. The expansion of this family seems to have been more important in monocots than in eudicots. In bread wheat, the chromosome 3 distal region is the site of a massive amplification of the SINA family, since we found that 83 of the 141 SINA genes are located on this chromosome in the Chinese Spring variety. This amplification probably occurred as a result of local duplications, followed by sequences divergence. The study was then extended to 4856 SINA proteins from 97 plant species. Phylogenetic and structural analyses identified a group of putative ancestral SINA proteins in plants containing a 58 aminoacid specific signature. Based on sequence homology and the research of that "Ancestral SINA motif" of 58 amino acids, a methodological process has been proposed and lead to the identification of functional SINA genes in a large family such as the Triticae that might be used for other species. Finally, tis paper gives a comprehensive overview of wheat gene family organization and functionalization taken the SINA genes as an example.

Semiotical and Hermeneutical Approach to Undiagnosed Rare Diseases


 
 
 
 
 
 Sociotype is a concept that allows a more comprehensive understanding about biosociology of undiagnosed rare diseases (URD). Sociotype is related to a genotype and a phenotype and it is an expression of the individual life world in society. In this paper, semiotic and hermeneutic analysis of papers published and selected about URD is developed. Te perspective followed in this research is aligned with the works of Barbieri and Peirce. Papers with the most social content have been selected and those with a more biomedical content have been rejected. Te semiotics analysis has been divided in genotypic, phenotypic and sociotypic, and related to the hermeneutical perspective. It has been possible to understand the basis of semiotics elements of URD. Te general conclusion is that URD is a particular sociotype with a determined set of social characteristics. Tis paper opens research on the biosemiotic and hermeneutic perspective about URD.
 
 
 
 
 

THE DRAWING OF A TERRITORIAL INFRASTRUCTURE. THE CASE STUDY OF THE ‘CAROLINO’ AQUEDUCT (ITALY)

Abstract. The ‘Carolino’ Aqueduct, a territorial infrastructure, principally known to lead water to the park and the gardens of the Royal Palace of Caserta (Italy) is the main topic of tis paper. Specifically, presented here are some outcomes of research activities carried within the discipline of drawing with its different meanings (survey, representation, modeling, communication) and scalarities (architecture and territory). The activities have been fully systematized within a Geographical Information System (GIS) project with the aim not only to archive all the acquired and surveyed information but also to make it a communication tool - accessible through the web - to an expanded user that can enjoy this infrastructure, inscribed for its peculiarities in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

DETERMINANT OF CONSUMER SERVICE CONSUMPTION – A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RURAL AREAS OF MAJOR STATES INCLUDING GUJARAT AND INDIA

Three components, viz., income, consumption and savings are most invaluable indicators for economic development of any nation. From these three indicators, consumption plays vital role for the development process as high consumption encourages production activities which automatically leads to increase in employment and income generation which is again converted to consumption of miscellaneous goods and services. The rise in income results in higher demand of existing goods and services in the short run as well as in the long run. Even due to change in technology and fashion, the taste of population changes which results in demand of goods and services which were not existing previously. In this paper, rural areas of 15 major states, rural areas of 3 minor states and nation as a whole are considered to know the consumption pattern of non-food items. It is tried to analyze the effect of changes in income and relative price on different non-food goods and services. It is important to study the consumption of non-food items in the rural family as a part of service sector. In tis paper, per capita total consumption expenditure is taken as a proxy variable for per capita income, because more reliable data are available for the former as compared to the latter. Various models like linear, quadratic and power, have been fitted on consumer service consumption data, KEYWORDS – Consumer Service Consumption Expenditure, Total Consumption Expenditure, Rural Major States, Rural India, linear model, quadratic model, power model and concluded that power model is the most appropriate.

The women, peace and security Agenda through a Queer Theory lens

The two decades since the adoption of the first Security Council Resolution under the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda has paved the way for much introspection and debate. While there have been several positive impacts such as the inclusion of women in peacemaking processes and in bringing to light the deliberate deployment of sexual violence in armed conflict as a tactic, there have also been several gaps in implementation. Since the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1325, legal, policy, and academic discourse has focused on armed conflict and women and has made an essentialist case for the inclusion of women in post-conflict peace processes. Among one of the major concerns with the WPS Agenda in its verbiage and implementation is the tendency to conflate 'gender' with 'women's issues.' As a consequence, non-binary gender identities in general, and their experience of armed conflict in particular, have been sidelined and rendered obscure. Sexual violence in conflict has been understood through a limited 'gender' lens, and the unique experiences of queer people in armed conflict have neither been acknowledged or addressed in policy, legislation, and transitional justice measures. Tis paper critically evaluates the WPS agenda and identifies gaps both in its language and implementation through National Action Plans. It presents the unique challenges of sexual and gender minorities in armed conflict and calls for a gender, peace, and security regime founded on the principles of intersectionality, queer theory, and the right to self-determination.

CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE VOCABULARY OF POPULAR AND ACADEMIC SCIENTIFIC PAPERS IN THE FIELD OF THEOLOGY IN THE SERBIAN LANGUAGE

The specific traits of the methodology of theology as well as the peculiarities of its scientific knowledge inevitably influence the extralinguistic and intralinguistic features of theological scientific works, which is especially reflected in the lexical layer. Tis paper deals with the analysis of the vocabulary of popular scientific theological works of eminent authors in the Serbian language in relation to academic papers as basic representatives of the scientific style of theology. The results obtained by statistical analysis of the vocabulary of the works of the two mentioned substyles enabled their contrastive analysis. In addition, atypical elements were pointed out – the expressive and emotional markers and stylistic figures of popular science theological works.

An Aesthetic Visualization of Ritual Ordering among the Yoruba Drummer: A Medium of Life Celebration

The gatherings among Yoruba people depicting religion, social or political values are usually staged with drumming. At the center of this art are the professional drummers with the cult identity of àyàn. The display, ordering and aesthetic of drumming are usually often come with some rituals during passages of life which are frequently unknown to the non-initiates. The study underscores the significant of ritual that are connected to birth, puberty, middle stage and death which are very important to life stages among the Yoruba people. It highlights the role of ritual rites in the profession of drumming in a selected town in Yoruba land. The paper use in-depth interview, participant observation, archival materials and ethnographic methods to generate data needed for its analysis. Tis paper through phenomenological analysis will process the data collected.

Audience Study as Catalyst in Sustainable Nollywood Yoruba Film Industry

Nollywood is the representation of the socio-cultural apparatus of Nigeria in the world cinema. Tis paper evaluates generally, film audience’s perspective in Nollywood films, and in particular non-native actors in native films. Most often, stakeholders in the film industry do not access, or are flagrantly ignorant of viewer’s feedback on the state of their production in all media of communication. Some determine this with the profit margins. Tis paper therefore evaluates the audience’s perception of non-native actors in Nollywood Yoruba native films. The area of concentration is on the quality of audience reception on native films by non-native actors. Cluster sample method is the tool of research for this paper, in which questionnaire samples were distributed among film viewers in the Yoruba speaking area in Nigeria. This is done in order to determine the performance ratings of non-Yoruba native actor’s skill of character interpretation in cultured films. Theoretical framework is anchored on Bandura’s Social Learning theory, which concentrates on impact of artistic models on the audience’s psyche. Findings reveal that audience ratings of non-native actors in Yoruba cultured films is poor, compared with their characterization in non-native setting, and this is due to wrong casting by directors who cast them against all odds in order to improve their profit margin. Findings also reveal the importance of audience study as a necessity in pre-production considerations of film shooting.

An Archaeological Study of Early Farming Settlements on Iresi Hills

Recent Investigation of an archaeological site in southwest Nigeria during the Late Stone Age revealed additional information about the cultural development of the area. On Iresi Hills two rock shelters (Ajaye and Cherubim & Seraphim) were investigated in two seasons from 2017 to 2018 during which pottery, ground stone axes and microlithics were excavated. Although there is no clear break in the stratigraphy, the findings show clear demarcation between two cultural layers. The upper layer contains pottery, microlithics and ground stone axes, and ochre while the lower layer is characterized by microlithics only. The site presented a date of about Cal 5653 BP which coincides with a short dry period in the area. Tis paper reports the occupation in Iresi, in southwest Nigeria with a view to fill the gap in the chronology and to interrogate the evidence for Late Stone Age in terms of the culture that existed in between 12000YBP of Iwo Eleru and 2000YBP of Itaakpa and the influence of a change in environment of southwest Nigeria and West Africa in general.

Portrayal of Yorùbá Socio-cultural Heritage in the Practice of the Kegite Movement in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions

This essay examines some aspects of the Yorùbá socio-cultural heritage portrayed in the practice of the Kegite Movement in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The Kegite is one of the student organizations in institutions of higher learning in Nigeria. Membership of the organization is open to only those who support the promotion and culture of palmwine drinking. Participant observation method of data collection which involved the researcher himself in the research setting was adopted. The paper relies on the socio-cultural theory for its analysis. Among the findings revealed in the study are that the Kegite Movement promotes aspects of the Yorùbá heritage which involved entrenching associations, teaching and enhancing morals through songs, method of selecting a king and his chiefs, use of language, and use of palmwine for entertainment purpose. Tis paper concludes that the Kegite Movement has been a virile organization towards the promotion of the Yorùbá socio-cultural heritage and in uniting the youth in Nigerian tertiary Institutions.

The Pre-colonial Yoruba Education System: Catalyst Against Immorality

The notion that Africans in general have no literature of their own has been severally debunked as false assertion. Awólàlú (1979) describes it as ‘erroneous’, a thought borne out of prejudice, malice and bias (3). Among these is their method of training both the young and old in the ways and traditions of the people. The Yorùbá had a system of education referred to as ìlànà ètò è̩kó̩ ìbílè̩ (traditional or indigenous system of education). Even though the said system of education was not documented, it is not only flexible enough to conserve the tradition and culture of the people, it has also proved adequate in transmitting the cultural heritage from generation to generation using the mother-tongue as a tool. Tis paper examines the effectiveness of this traditional system of education in the development of the pre-colonial Yoruba society especially in terms of moral diligence. The paper critically analyzes the system and concludes that a society that is morally bankrupt cannot develop, hence the need for a system of education that emphasizes moral training such as the Yorùbá traditional system of education as compared with the Western system of education, which lays emphasis on jobs. The paper concludes that if the formal education system can prioritize moral training by tailoring the curriculum towards this objective, the problem of high moral decadence level currently ravaging our various societies may continue and this will not do the societies any good.

Yorùbá Ethics of Interpersonal Relations in Ọbasá’s Poetry

In the context of Yorùba interrelation, every human being is involved with ́ a clearly defined tradition laced with mutual benefits. The custom of human interpersonal relationship and the challenges thereof are critical issues in modern Yorùbá society. The themes of Yorùbá ethics as related to interpersonal relation are prominent in Obasa ̣’s poetry. In this essay, we identify and ́ analyze the ethical themes in Obasa ̣’s poetry and compare the poet’s engagement with the Yorùbá philosophy with a view to establish their relevance to the contemporary Yorùbá society.
 Wolfgang Iser’s (1996) principle on hermeneutics that “(texts) impacts information to the reader vis-a-vis the reader’s experience” is our model for the analysis of this paper (63). The ethical issues in Obasa’s poetry are anchored ́ to three sociocultural Yoruba concepts: communalism, cultural ideology on salutation, and conflict resolution. Tis paper affirms the poet’s rational reflection on the Yorùbá cultural ideology and pragmatic approach to ethical issues. As I argue in the essay, the poet’s perspectives affirm the basis of Yorùba ethical concepts on communalism and how it portrays human beings ́ as social “animals.”

An Android-Based Image Steganography System for Concealing Data and Information Transmission Using Adaptive Image Steganography

The growth in the volume of information transmission and transaction over the internet has necessitated the development and enhancement of measures and techniques required to ensure the safety of critical information during transmission. with developments in mobile technologies and the adoption and diffusion of android mobile devices, research must therefore continue to explore more secured media in which information can be hidden. One of such medium is the use of image carriers referred to as steganography. In tis paper, we provide insughts into the development of an android-based Image Steganography System for concealing data and information using adaptive image steganography. The Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm was employed as the algorithmic sequence for the development. Preliminary results from implementation and testing showed promising results Keywords: Android, image steganography, data, information, transmission, images, security

EXTENDED ANALYSIS OF DATA CLEANING FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION DATA OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS

In the past years both companies and academics communities pulled their efforts in generating input that consist in new abstractions, interfaces, approaches for scalability and crowdsourcing techniques. Quantitative and qualitative methods were created with the scope of error reduction and were covered in multiple surveys and overviews in order to cope with outlier detection. The aim of tis paper is to provide an outlier analysis over the consumption data of twelve public buildings from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, collected during an EU 2020 Horizon project.

J, K] - Set Domination of Special Graphs

Domination is an important theoretic concept in graph theory. Various types of domination have been studied By [J, K] - Set domination, A subset D ⊆ V in a graph G = (V, E) is a [J, K] - Set if every Vertex ν ∈ V − D, J ⩽ |N(ν) ∩ D| ⩽ K for non negative integers J and K, that is every vertex ν ∈ V − D is adjacent to at least J but not more than K Vertices in D. The domination number of G is denoted by γ[ J,K ](G), which is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set G. In tis paper the [J, K] - domination number of some special graphs and its application ave been studied.

NH3-N and COD Reduction in Endek (Balinese Textile) Wastewater by Activated Sludge under Different DO Condition with Ozone Pretreatment

Nitrogen and organic matter are part of the pollutant causing eutrophication in freshwater. Textiles industry like Endek is the main source of Nitrogen and organic matter. Tis paper aims to know the degradation process of Ammonia-Nitrogen (NH3-N) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) with ozone pretreatment in operated by different DO level activated sludge. There are 2 scenarios of treatments in this study: with ozone pretreatment (R1) and without ozone pretreatment (R2). Wastewater treatment began with the seeding and acclimatization process. This acclimatization study showed the efficiency degradation of NH3-N and COD by 17.7 and 27.5 %. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)/COD level increased with ozone pretreatment, from 0.25 to 0.38, COD/TKN level stated at 3.26. Ozone pretreatment reduced NH3-N and COD by 23.8 and 34.1 %. Wastewater treatment with activated sludge operated by different DO levels showed efficiency of 44.2 % (R1) and 68.2 % (R2). This ammonia elimination was capable of preventing eutrophication in the waterbody. The efficiency of NH3-N and Nitrogen organic degradation was indicated by TKN (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen) levels: 87 % (R1) and 79 % (R2). The concentration of Nitrate (NO3-N) increased from 2.9 to 5.5 mg/L when DO reached 1 - 3 mg/L. COD reduction levels in this study were 17 % (R1) and 42.5 % (R2). Ozone pretreatment could make the efficiency of wastewater treatment qualified into standard quality.

Performativity of Materials in Learning: The Learning-Whole in Action

Contemporary educational practices have been calling for pedagogical models that foreground fexibility, agency, ubiquity, and connectedness in learning. Tese models have, in turn, been stimulating redevelopments of educational infrastructure –with physical contours reconfgured into novel complex learning spaces at universities, schools, museums, and libraries. Understanding the complexity of these innovative learning spaces requires an acknowledgement of the material and digital as interconnected. A ‘physical’ learning space is likely to involve a range of technologies and in addition to paying attention to these ‘technologies’ one must understand and account for their physical sites of use as well. Tis paper discusses the infuence of materiality in learning, using an analytical approach that situates learning activity as an emergent process. Drawing on theories that foreground socio-materiality in learning and on the relational perspective ofered by networked learning, we call for a deeper understanding of the interplay between the physical (material and digital), conceptual, and social aspects of learning, and their combined infuence on emergent activity. Te paper argues that in order to successfully design for innovative learning, educators need to develop their capacity to trace the intricate connections between people, ideas, digital and material tools, and tasks –to see the learning-whole in action.

Populist communication in the post-truth age: A comparative analysis of treatment of journalists by Donald Trump and Aleksandar Vučić

The populist communication model of perceiving journalists as enemies of the state, presented in the political communication of the 45th US President Donald Trump, seems to be not only reserved for the US but has become a trend for populist leaders worldwide. Such rhetoric has been revitalized by the recent rise of populism in Western Europe, fostered in Central and Eastern Europe and recognized in the local media landscape in Serbia. Tis paper compares the communication models of US President Donald Trump and the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic as directed toward journalists. The results show that these leaders use a similar communication pattern: they favour divisive issues, stressing a friendly vs. unpatriotic media, alienating the media outlets and contributing to the further polarisation in media and society. This research is based on a qualitative analysis of 12 press conferences, including media statements chosen for their unique interactions with media representatives.
