Authors: Colombo Soares Tiago , Pavan Torres Rosangela , Mancini-Filho Jorge , Lannes Suzana
Published: September 2024

The aim was to prepare mayonnaises with natural preservatives and improved protein content to verify their structural and nutritional properties. Three formulations were developed (70% fat + variation in protein), F1 (powdered whey) did not reach the structural standards of commercial mayonnaise; F2 (skimmed milk) reached standards equivalent to commercialized products; F3 (powdered whey + skimmed milk) presented light mayonnaise pattern; F0 (Control). Protein content was higher than market products (more than 1.0 %). The evaluation of 30 days showed variations:  AW (0.934-0.941); extrusion values F1 (1.035 N ±0.026 – 0.566 N ±0.024), F2(4.255 N ±0.160 – 3.218 N ±0.060), F3 (3.198 N ±0.086 – 1.700 N ±0.044). The preservatives favored the color ∆E: F1 (11.31 ±0.04), F2 (2.65 ±0.14), F3 (1.65 ± 0.22). DPPH analysis showed the difference of products with added natural preservatives and whey in relation to the F0; F3 formulation was favored. Thixotropy appeared in all samples. The exothermic peak occurred F1 (6˚C - 7˚C), F2 (5˚C - 7˚C) and F3 (3˚C - 4˚C), indicating faster crystallization of the F3 (lipid-protein bond). The use of whey and powdered milk as emulsifying agent for mayonnaise emulsions, garlic and mustard, increased shelf life and protein content were demonstrated.

Published: September 2024

A proposta deste trabalho é a automação em um processo manualde cravagem degrampo no servo freio usada em um conjunto do sistema de freios (carretas e semi-reboques - Bi trem). Este processo tem problemas inerentes a um processo manual: fadiga do operador, baixa produtividade e retrabalho. Um programa em linguagem ladder no CLP Macroface EASY 820, foi apresentado como solução de automação. As simulações realizadas demonstraram a aplicabilidade da solução e os resultados simulados deixam claro que os objetivos foram alcançados. Analisando-se cada um deles, pode-se afirmar que reduzir a fadiga do operador foi alcançado, pois esta tarefa seria executada pelo CLP. Com relação ao aumento da produtividade também se pode garantir porque a implementação desta automação resulta em substituição de um trabalho manual por um automatizado com menor taxa de erro. Finalmente, a repetitividade da montagem correta se deve ao fato de que no processo atual o operador está sujeito a erro de montagem, posição errada ou por não abastecer com componente o processo.
Peculiarities of Generation Z’s perception of evolution of youth policy in modern Russia
Authors:   Saratov State University, Vilkov Alexander A.
Published: September 2024

The article presents results of the study of characteristics of the attitude of generation Z to state youth policy in modern Russia. Based on the analysis of various interpretations of generation Z, presented in domestic social science, it was concluded that it is possible to talk about its uniform characteristics only with a large degree of convention, taking into account the commonality of ubiquitous Internet communications that influence formation of the worldview and lifestyle of young people. The empirical basis of the article consists of materials from focus groups and online surveys of young people (2021 n = 519; 2022 n = 2021; 2023 n = 852) conducted by the faculty of Political Science Department, Saratov State University, under the leadership of the author. Based on these materials, it was proved that there are no uniform typological characteristics of modern Russian youth, which is heterogeneous and continues to differ not only in age and gender criteria, but also in ideological and sociocultural grounds, ideological preferences, place of residence, level of education and financial situation. In general, the study showed that, despite the presence of positive trends in the perception of state youth policy in modern Russia in the last two years (as well as other areas of state policy in various spheres of public life), the most important fact is that the share of opposition-minded among young people remains at a fairly high level (about a third of respondents). The greatest political motivation for opposition is inherent in young supporters of liberalism. Socio-economic motivation is more characteristic of supporters of “left” ideologies.

Authors: Thomas Ancil George , Mohan Madhusudanan , Thomas Reji
Published: September 2024

Background: The etiological factors leading to progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) are poorly understood. This study aims to evaluate the role of various risk factors in patients with PSP.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted over a period of two years from March 2016 to March 2018. The cases were recruited independently by two senior neurologists and a consensus was then reached after discussion for their inclusion. The controls were free of parkinsonian features or dementia and matched by age (± 3 years), sex, and race with the cases. The study population was then interviewed using a standard questionnaire for various possible risk factors. Variables with a significance (P ≤ 0.05) in univariate analysis were considered for bivariate analysis, multivariate analysis, and logistic-regression analysis.
Results: A total of 51 cases with an equal number of controls were included in this study. Ten separate variables that included poor educational status, well water, smoking, tapioca, bakery/fast food, tea ≥ 5 cups/day, personality, exposure to pets, exposure to cattle, and family history of stroke were found to show statistical significance after univariate analysis. Among these, tapioca consumption, fast food and bakery items consumption, type A personality, and family history of stroke were found significant after adjusting for the confounding factors.
Conclusion: The possible etiological factors that have a relevance in the causation of PSP as borne out in our study include dietary habits such as tapioca, fast food, and bakery items consumption, family history of stroke, and type A personality trait.

Authors:   LL.M., Graduate of the Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), Member of the International Alliance of Lawyers and Economists, Komissarov Georgy A.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes some provisions of bill No.160280-8 On the Amendment of the Federal Law On Protection of Competition (in Terms of Improvement of Antimonopoly Regulation of Digital Markets) passed on its first reading, also known as the fifth antimonopoly package. The author believes that the current version of the bill has some drawbacks that lower the potential efficiency of the suggested provisions to say the least, and in the worst-case scenario, make these provisions harmful, able to undermine the entire competition-based legal system. Some drawbacks are major ones but can be easily corrected before the bill becomes the law. Whereas other drawbacks can cease to be drawbacks in the event of specific interpretation of the proposed provisions and specification of the latter in regulations. The article analyzes the network effect concept and digital platform domination criteria stipulated in the current (2022) and previous (2018) versions of the fifth antimonopoly package. The author reviews the reasons for differences and similarities of these versions.

There is a growing importance of alternative anticancer and anti-inflammatory treatments. Current interest lies in natural medicine and secondary metabolites present in plants, particularly focusing on triterpenes. Ganoderma lucidum is a fungal species of significant commercial interest due to its therapeutic and medicinal properties resulting from secondary metabolites such as polysaccharides and triterpenes. These compounds exhibit antitumor activity and bolster the immune system. The study aimed to assess the antimicrobial activity of G. lucidumextracts, both commercial and wild. The content of ganoderic acids in all extracts showed a slight difference in concentration between commercial and wild extracts. However, no bacterial inhibition halos were observed in any of the strains used. The presence of varying concentrations of ganoderic acids among treatments underscores the importance of optimizing and standardizing a comprehensive strategy for extracting secondary metabolites, focusing on producing high-quality supplements and pharmaceutical products. Furthermore, preserving the stability of the obtained triterpenes is necessary due to their importance in the medicinal properties of the fungus.

Authors: Gökçe İsbir G. , Alus Tokat M.
Published: September 2024

Different initiatives have been implemented along with the results from and recommendations of multiple international meetings to improve breastfeeding. The most common interventions to improve breastfeeding are education and counseling. Although studies are reporting that breastfeeding education and counseling programs improve breastfeeding results, the lack of breastfeeding rates to reach the targeted levels suggests that there is a requirement for a different approach. In addition to these results, a paradigm shift in education and counseling, which are the most frequently used methods to improve breastfeeding, is necessary. Hence, the philosophy of HypnoBreastfeeding has emerged. This study addresses the origin and development of HypnoBreastfeeding philosophy, its concepts, and the correlations between the concepts and the relevant philosophical claims.

Amaç: Tiroidit, tiroit bezinin enflamasyonu ile karakterize, tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğuna yol açabilen, çoğunlukla benign seyreden bir klinik tablodur. Enfeksiyonlar akut tiroidit ve subakut granülomatöz tiroidit (SAT) etiyolojisinde yer alır. Ancak enfeksiyon etkenlerini saptamak her zaman mümkün olmamaktadır.
Çalışmamızda Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi’nde Endokrinoloji ve Metabolizma veya Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Polikliniği’nde tiroidit tanısı ile takip edilen hastalar arasında SAT tanısı alan hastaların geriye dönük incelenmesi, SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu veya SARS-CoV-2 aşısının etiyolojideki rolünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmanın evrenini Mart 2020 ve Temmuz 2023 tarihleri arasında ICD tanı kodu tiroidit olarak girilen hastalar oluşturmaktadır. Bu hastalar arasında SAT tanısı alan hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, eşlik eden hastalıkları, SARS-CoV-2’ ye karşı aşılanma öyküleri, tiroidit ile ilişkili klinik yakınmaları, yakınmalar öncesinde üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu (ÜSYE), gastroenterit veya SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu geçirme öyküsü, SAT tanısı aldığı tarih, laboratuvar ve görüntüleme bulguları, hastalara uygulanan tedaviler retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya belirlenen tarihler arasında SAT tanısı alan 9 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Olguların yaş ortalaması 47,6 ± 7,3 (min. 39, maks. 58) ve hastaların altısı kadındır. En sık klinik yakınma boyun ve boğaz ağrısı, boğazda şişlik hissi ve ateş yüksekliği olarak saptanmıştır. Hastalardan ikisinde SAT tanısı almadan üç ay içerisinde SARS-CoV-2 aşısı öyküsü mevcuttur. ÜSYE öyküsü olan hastalardan birinde hem SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu hem de aşı öyküsü vardır.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda sadece iki hastada SAT etiyolojisinde SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu veya aşısı sorumlu olabileceği düşünülmüştür ancak diğer hastalarda ilişki bulunamamıştır. Hasta sayımız az olmakla birlikte elimizdeki veriler SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu ve aşışı ile SAT ilişkisini ortaya koymak için yeterli değildir.

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı madde kullanım bozukluğu olan bireylere yönelik karar verme becerileri müdahale programının geliştirilmesi ve etkililiğinin değerlendirilmesidir.
Yöntem: Katılımcılara Psikolojik Belirti Tarama Envanteri, Hamilton Depresyon Ölçeği, Hamilton Anksiyete Değerlendirme Ölçeği ve DSM-IV’e Dayalı Erişkin DEB/DEHB Tanı ve Değerlendirme Envanteri uygulanmıştır. Bu ölçeklerden üst sınırların üzerinde puan alan katılımcılar çalışmaya dahil edilmemiştir. Bu çalışmaya, deney grubu (n=36) ve kontrol grubu (n=36) kişi katılmıştır. Grup çalışmaları, karar verme becerileri, dürtüsellik ve stresle başa çıkma alt başlıkları ile altı oturumda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara müdahale öncesi ve sonrası Melbourne Karar Verme Ölçeği, Barratt Dürtüsellik Ölçeği ve Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada, deney ve kontrol grubu ölçek puanları Tekrarlı Ölçümler Anova ile karşılaştırılmıştır.
Bulgular: Melbourne Karar Verme Ölçeğinden alınan puanlara göre, deney ve kontrol grubu katılımcılarının karar vermede özsaygı düzeylerinin müdahale öncesinden sonrasına istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Gruplar arasında karar verme stilleri açısından ise istatistiksel düzeyde anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır (p>0.05). Deney grubu ve kontrol grubu stresle başa çıkma ve dürtüsellik toplam puanları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde değişim göstermiştir (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışmanın bulguları, karar verme becerisi eğitim programının madde kullanımı olan bireylerin karar vermede özsaygı, dürtüsellik ve stresle başa çıkma becerilerini olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir.
Is circular-stapled gastrojejunostomy anastomosis apppropriate for pancreaticoduodenectomy?
Authors: Alkan Kayaoğlu Sevcan , Uzun Mehmet Ali , Erdoğan Doğan
Published: September 2024

INTRODUCTION:Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a highly complex procedure that requires surgical experience.. Among these is the use of a stapler in the construction of the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis during the procedure. Our study compares the patient outcomes of gastrojejunostomy anastomosis procedures performed manually and with a circular stapler.
MATERIALS AND METHOD:Our study retrospectively evaluated the data of 44 patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy performed by the same surgical team between May 2015 and December 2019. The manual gastrojejunostomy anastomosis(n = 32) and stapled (circular stapler 25 millimeter) anastomosis(n=12) patient groups were compared for anastomotic stricture.
RESULTS:Of the 44 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy, 68.2% were male, the mean age was 62.9±12.1 years and the mean follow-up was 28.2±21.2 months. The rate of gastrojejunostomy stricture was significantly higher in the circular stapler group (p = 0.017;p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION:The increased risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula and anastomotic stricture prevents us from recommending the use of a circular-stapler in the creation of the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis in pancreaticoduodenectomy procedures, as it increases the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula and anastomotic stricture, and provides no operative time advantage.
Late complication of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Marginal ulcer perforation

Published: September 2024

In recent years, morbid obesity has tended to increase as a human problem. Surgical options are used in cases where medical treatments are not a solution. One of the surgical options is Roux en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). RYGB is more effective than other surgical options and is one of the most frequently preferred methods (1,2). We present a female patient who presented to our emergency department with marginal ulcer perforation 1 year after RYGB.

In order to optimize the fish production by a better knowledge of preventive measures against fish diseases, a cross-sectional audit was carried out in Cameroon from March to April 2022 on the zootechnical factors affecting the biosecurity practice in fish farms from the Centre Region (3°55'- 4°67'N; 9°46-11°52'E). A total of 50 farms were selected using the "snowball" method, face-to-face interview of fish farmers using a semi-structured questionnaire and direct observation. The most practiced farming system was the semi-intensive production system (74%), non-integrated fish farming (100%), grow-out (66%), monoculture (54%), and the soil system (34% of farms with ponds). The compliance rate (40.98%) and adoption rate (41.00%) of biosecurity measures (BM) was intermediate. The most adopted BM were "sanitary lock" and "no exchange of materials with other farms", while the least adopted were "veterinary intervention", "dead fish incinerated" and "special outfit for visitors". The BM were significantly more observed in intensive, nursery farms and those whose culture facilities were fastanks + concrete tanks with 3 to 12 production cycles per year. A strong, positive and significant linear relationship was established between the compliance rate (y) and BM such as the protection of farms from wild animals, quarantine of new fish, number of production cycles per year (x).  The linear regression model between y and x was y = 4.65x - 0.0417.  The capacity of fish farmers should be built on biosecurity practices.
