A curva de retenção de água no solo é uma informação importante para o manejo racional da irrigação. Devido a dificuldade na geração da mesma através de métodos tradicionais, existe a necessidade da criação de métodos alternativos e indiretos, como as funções de pedotransferência. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho objetiva estimar os parâmetros do modelo de Van Genuchten através de funções de pedotransferência com dados físico-hídricos para solos do estado do Rio Grande do Sul utilizando Redes Neurais Artificiais. Para estimar os os parâmetros θr, α e n da equação de Van Genuchten, foram utilizados os teores de areia, silte, argila, densidade do solo (ds), densidade de partículas (dp) e Matéria Orgânica (Mo) como variáveis independentes. As Redes Neurais Artificiais foram geradas utilizando a função perceptron múltipla camada do software IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Os resultados obtidos na estimativa dos parâmetros α, θr e n podem ser considerados excelentes, já que os valores do coeficiente de determinação foram superiores a 0,9 em todos os modelos propostos, e a raíz do erro médio quadrado apresentou valores inferiores a 0,0012. Com isto, podemos afirmar que o uso de Redes Neurais Artificiais se mostrou eficiente em estimar os parâmetros da equação de Van Genuchten com alta capacidade preditiva dos modelos propostos.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar e discutir as publicações acerca da síndrome do desconforto respiratório e para tal realizou-se uma revisão integrativa e utilizou informações obtidas em artigos indexados nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, SCIELO e IBECS, desde que nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol, entre 2019-2024. Discussão e resultados: A alta mortalidade neonatal é um sério problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo. As principais causas são a prematuridade e a Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório Neonatal (SDRN). A SDRN ocorre devido a um desequilíbrio na produção de surfactante pulmonar, o que provoca o colapso dos alvéolos e o acúmulo de líquido nos pulmões. O surfactante é uma substância crucial para manter os alvéolos abertos e é produzido pelos pneumócitos tipo II a partir da 24ª semana de gestação. Os bebês com SDRN apresentam dificuldades respiratórias, falta de ar e pele azulada (cianose). Essa condição pode ser causada pelo estresse oxidativo natural do corpo ou por um sofrimento oxidativo patológico. O tratamento inclui suporte ventilatório, medicamentos que ajudam a fortalecer o coração (inotrópicos), drogas que afetam os vasos sanguíneos e diuréticos para ajudar a eliminar o excesso de líquido. É fundamental que bebês com Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório (SDR) sejam monitorados de perto para ajustar o suporte respiratório e determinar a necessidade de tratamentos específicos.

A critical examination of industrial conflict in labour- management relations
Authors: Ogundele Johnson Iyiola , Majekodunmi Samuel Ayodele
Published: September 2024

The paper examines the occurrence of industrial conflict between labour unions and management in the workplace. The inevitability of conflict stems from the economic interest both parties want to satisfy at any point in time in their work relations which are at variance. The economic interest of both parties is inversely related and this will always reinforce disharmony of interest in the workplace. The theoretical analysis focused on conflict theory by Karl Marx and theory of industrial pluralism by Sidney and Beatrice Webb. Essentially, causes of industrial conflict was brought to the fore, its consequences and resolution mechanism were expatiated.  Views of various schools of thought on conflict were examined together with functional and dysfunctional aspects of industrial conflict. Suggested measures to manage effectively the emergence of workplace conflict were also discussed. The study concluded that industrial conflict has become a recurring decimal in labour–management relations, however, the suggested measures to reduce and manage the preponderance of conflict should be followed in order to enhance workplace peace and harmonious labour management relations.

Authors: Mohajan Devajit , Mohajan Haradhan Kumar
Published: September 2024

The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a multifaceted hormone, and it has the ability to decrease blood sugar levels in a glucose-dependent nature to increase the secretion of insulin, and consequently, it reduces hyperglycaemia in T2D. GLP-1 has a half-life of about 1.5 minutes and is rapidly proteolytic degraded by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). But GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1R) works like GLP-1 but last much longer. GLP-1R control glycemia via glucose-dependent mechanisms of action and promote weight loss in obese and diabetic individuals. It also suppresses inappropriately elevated glucagon levels, both in fasting and postprandial states, slows gastric emptying, and decreases appetite. It reduces glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose levels. It is associated with weight loss, and reductions in blood pressure with a low risk of hypoglycaemia. It is generally recommended as second- and third-line therapy for T2D. In this study an attempt has been taken to discuss aspects of GLP-1R in briefly.

Authors: Ponlok Visal Nary
Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of Cambodia’s anti-human trafficking laws on local communities in the Phnom Penh region, focusing on both social and economic dimensions. The research highlights how these laws, while essential in combating human trafficking and providing legal protection to victims, have complex consequences for local livelihoods, employment, and community cohesion. It also explores the specific challenges faced by vulnerable populations, particularly women and children, in accessing protection services. Despite the intention to prevent trafficking and support victims, the enforcement of these laws often leads to unintended outcomes, such as economic disruption, social stigmatization, and gaps in service provision. The findings underscore the need for a more balanced approach that integrates robust law enforcement with sustainable support systems, community engagement, and tailored services to address the needs of affected populations effectively.

The pervasive influence of social media has significantly impacted the mental health and well-being of young adults, particularly through increased social media addiction (SMA) and social appearance anxiety (SAA). Our study investigates the relationship between social media addiction and social appearance anxiety among young adults, highlighting the interplay between compulsive social media use and concerns about physical appearance. A sample of 549 undergraduate students from Turkey, including 339 females and 210 males, completed the Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS) and the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS). Data were analyzed using correlation, independent t-tests, and linear regression to explore the relationships and differences between variables. Our study found significant relationships between SMA and SAA, with higher levels of addiction linked to increased appearance anxiety. Social comparison tendencies and photo-editing behaviors were also associated with higher SMA and SAA. No significant gender differences were observed, suggesting a universal impact of social media on these psychological issues. The findings underscore the intertwined nature of SMA and SAA, emphasizing the need for comprehensive interventions that address both aspects to improve mental health outcomes. Promoting positive self-comparisons and reducing photo-editing behaviors online can help mitigate the negative effects of social media use on young adults’ mental well-being.

In this study, we aimed to elucidate some of the mechanisms of cell death induced by lobaric acid in A549 (human lung cancer) cells. For this purpose, the effects of cytotoxic concentrations on p53 and caspase-3 gene expressions were investigated. A549 cells were treated with varying concentrations of lobaric acid (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 µg/ml) for 48 hours and then their viability was evaluated and p53 and caspase-3 mRNA expressions were determined at statistically cytotoxic concentrations of 12.5, 50, and 100 µg/ml. According to beta-actin, it was determined that the increase in lobaric acid concentration revealed an upward trend in p53 and caspase-3 mRNA expressions. Furthermore, quantum chemical parameters such as frontier molecular orbitals, band gap energy and ionization potential, electronic affinity, chemical softness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index and chemical hardness were analyzed. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to identify the binding sites and the binding behavior of lobaric acid to some target proteins (P53, Caspase-3 and Bcl-2).
Effects of Drought Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Seed Primed with Boron in Spinach
Authors: Kaya Gamze
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to examine the effects of seed priming with different boron concentrations on the germination and seedling growth of spinach under drought-stress conditions. Seeds of the spinach cultivar Matador and sodium borate (Na2B8O13.4H2O) were used as materials. The seeds were primed with 0 (distilled water), 1, 10, 100, 500, and 1000 ppm B for 24 hours, with unprimed seeds serving as a control. Drought stress was induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) solution at a water potential of -3 bar and distilled water denoted as control conditions. A standard germination test was performed between papers at 20°C for 14 days. The germination percentage, mean germination time, germination index, seedling growth parameters, and root/shoot length ratio were investigated. The findings revealed that drought stress reduced germination percentage, germination index, and seedling growth of unprimed seeds of spinach. However, boron priming improved these parameters while mitigating the negative effects of drought stress. Under drought conditions, seed priming with 1 ppm B shortened mean germination time. Similarly, seedling fresh and dry weight of spinach were improved by seed priming with 100-1000 ppm B, whereas root growth was stimulated by 10 ppm B. The highest root/shoot ratio was found at 10 ppm B. Boron priming was more efficient in promoting seedling growth than germination in spinach. As a result, seed priming with 10-100 ppm B should be recommended to improve the germination and seedling growth performance of spinach in the event of drought stress after planting.
