Sobre a tênue fronteira entre os espaços público e privado
Authors: Ramos Aline
Published: November 2022

O presente artigo visa rascunhar uma discussão quanto à dinâmica homem – espaço público e privado, a fim de demonstrar o quão intrínseco tal fato é para formação da psique, mais perceptível sob a forma de identidade e memória, ambas individuais, mas igualmente coletivas. Para isso, são trazidos em diálogo autores que se debruçam sobre a temática, estabelecendo-se, ao final, questionamentos quanto às relações possíveis no contexto da pandemia de Sars-CoV-2. Os espaços públicos refletem a visão do homem sobre si mesmo e quanto ao outro, sendo que o tratamento da esfera pública se restringe ao longo dos séculos, levando a supervalorização do privado, da intimidade e de um eu-narcísico, solitário e individualista. Objetividade com o outro e subjetividade consigo mesmo, isolamento social, uso da internet e manifestações são pertinentes para análise do corpo re(inserido) no urbano.
Poder da Reza

Published: November 2022

Trilhando pelo caminho do imaginário religioso popular, nos deparamos com à presença da prática de reza promulgada por rezadores e rezadeiras dos mais diversos espaços sertanejos. Sua simbologia, ritos e práticas agem enquanto mediação entre o mundo sagrado e o terreno afim de trazer harmonia interna e externa para aqueles que possuem crença nessa tradição de fé. Nesse sentido, pretendemos nesse texto analisar as práticas de curas desenvolvidas por esses indivíduos através de uma perspectiva freudiana, com a intenção de compreender como as relações desses rituais agem no inconsciente daqueles que possuem crença nessa prática a fim de harmonizar sua sensação de desprazer a partir das análises das narrativas orais das rezadeiras e dos sujeitos que possuem crença nessas práticas, tomando-as essas narrativas enquanto fonte, podemos por meio das memórias desses depoentes encontramos os motivos que os fazer crer nessas tradições de forma  histórica e cotidiana.

Avaliação de queijos minas artesanais da região de Campo das Vertentes fabricados com prensagens manual e mecânica
Authors:   , Gomes Marina da Silva
Published: November 2022

O queijo Minas artesanal (QMA) produzido no Campo das Vertentes é feito de maneira rudimentar, como os outros QMA. A etapa de prensagem é feita manualmente, sem prensas, o que pode predispor os queijeiros a lesões por esforço repetitivo (LER). O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as características do QMA produzidos nesta região, utilizando-se prensagens manual e mecânica. Os queijos foram fabricados em uma queijaria, em quatro dias diferentes (quatro repetições) e maturados por 22 dias, conforme legislação vigente. Foi empregada a mesma matéria-prima e a mesma tecnologia, exceto pelo tipo de prensagem, manual e mecânica, representando os dois tratamentos. Após a maturação, os queijos foram submetidos às análises físico-químicas, microbiológicas, de textura e de cor. Não houve diferença estatística entre os tratamentos (P > 0,05) para os aspectos físicoquímicos analisados, exceto para os teores de umidade e proteínas (P < 0,05). Mesmo havendo diferença no teor de umidade entre os tratamentos, os queijos permaneceram dentro do padrão exigido por lei para como queijos de média umidade (até 45,9 %). Devido à relação inversa de teor de umidade e de proteínas, o queijo prensado com a prensa mecânica apresentou maior teor de umidade e, consequentemente, menor teor de proteína que o queijo prensado com as mãos. Nas análises de cor, os valores médios de L* e b* apresentaram diferença estatística (P < 0,05) entre os tratamentos, o mesmo não ocorreu com o parâmetro a* (P > 0,05). Em todos os perfis de textura analisados, foram verificadas diferenças significativas (P < 0,05) entre os tratamentos, as quais podem ser relacionadas à diferença verificada nos teores de umidade e proteínas totais. Não houve diferença estatística (P < 0,05) nos resultados das análises microbiológicas entre os tratamentos, demonstrando que o uso da prensa mecânica não interferiu nas contagens dos microrganismos avaliados. Os resultados encontrados neste trabalho demostram que novas pesquisas ainda precisam ser realizadas para a utilização da prensa mecânica na produção do QMA.

Published: November 2022

Thus, the development of Ukrainian music underwent a gradual evolution until the Russian aggression began in 2022. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian-language music was not in favor, but after 2014 and especially after February 24, 2022, it became mainstream. Among Chusach varieties of musical art in Ukraine, the most common are pop, rock, rap, jazz, etc. The new opportunities that the Network has opened up for performers also have many hidden dangers. This is primarily about piracy, which significantly reduces the profits from selling your own. At the same time, thanks to multimedia and high-speed Internet, the exchange of musical novelties became more efficient. In particular, for a long time, Ukrainian music was characterized by the same trends as in the West: song plots, rhythms, popular styles of music, etc. It should be noted that the demand for Ukrainian music increased after Russia's military aggression. The Russian product was banned. So, if similar trends unfold in the same way, Ukraine will continue to see the emergence of new talented collectives. It should be noted that pop and rock are promising directions of music development but rap also looks extremely promising.
Eastern Romance borrowings in Ukrainian dialects (Indo-European retrospective)
Authors: Nechytailo Iryna , Kovaliuk Olha , Gorodyska Olga
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the original Eastern Romance vocabulary recorded in the dialects of the Ukrainian language and its proto-forms, as well as examines the formation of the semantics of Eastern Romance borrowings from the Proto-Indo- European period to the present. To achieve the goal, the author compiles a corpus of original Romance words presented in Ukrainian dialects, determines their Indo- European, Italic and Latin proto-forms, corrects those of them indicated in the etymological literature, and establishes regularities of semantic transformations of various thematic groups on the axis of Proto-Indo-European language – Proto- Italic – Latin – ancient and modern Eastern Romance languages and dialects – Ukrainian dialects. The study proves that the Proto-Indo-European origins of Eastern Romance dialectisms, which had the meanings “action” and “state”, as a result of natural changes in the semantic structure, acquired the meanings of objects of practical human activity and became the basis for naming the animal and plant world of the Carpathian region, tools and the results of the work of the ancient population of the West of Ukraine.

Introducão: A Esclerose Múltipla (EM) é uma doença neurológica não traumática, inflamatória, crônica, desmielinizante de origem desconhecida que acomete o Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC). O transplante de células tronco hematopoiéticas (TCTH) é um procedimento complexo, onde o paciente recebe uma infusão intravenosa de medula óssea que provêm do próprio paciente transplantado, contudo o TCTH tenta "reiniciar" o sistema imunológico impossibilitando a inflamação. Objetivo: analisar as evidencias do exercício terapêutico na redução da fadiga após transplante autólogo em pacientes com esclerose múltipla. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados, PUBMED, PEDro, MEDLINE e SCIELO relativo aos anos de 2009 a 2022, utilizando os descritores: Esclerose Múltipla, fadiga, transplante autólogo, transplante de medula óssea, exercício e seus correspondentes em inglês. Resultados: No total foram 99 artigos, onde 3 artigos que abordaram o tema foram selecionados e evidenciaram os exercícios terapêuticos no tratamento da redução da fadiga após TCTH. Conclusão: Diante do exposto, verificou-se que, os exercícios terapêuticos podem contribuir na redução da fadiga em pacientes com EM remitente com sinais de inflamação ativa após TCTH, isto posto a escassez de estudos, as evidencias mostraram que as condutas realizadas podem não só reduzir a fadiga, mas também melhorar desempenho físico desses pacientes.

Published: November 2022

В обзоре рассматриваются современные данные об участии микробиоты человека в развитии, прогрессировании и исходах основных сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний и патологических процессов, таких как атеросклероз, инфаркт миокарда, артериальная гипертензия, сердечная недостаточность. Особое внимание уделяется микробиоте кишечника. Подробно описываются установленные к настоящему времени механизмы влияния кишечной микробиоты на патофизиологические процессы, лежащие в основе сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний, такие как воздействие на иммунную систему хозяина, участие повышенной проницаемости кишечника, а также действие микробных метаболитов (триметиламиноксида, первичных и вторичных желчных кислот, короткоцепочечных жирных кислот, метаболитов триптофана, фенилацетилглутамина). Указаны основные методологические проблемы, связанные с изучение микробиома. Подчеркивается неоднозначность и многоплановость влияния микробиоты кишечника на сердечно-сосудистую систему в норме и при дисбиозе.

The review presents current data on the implication of human microbiota in development, progression, and outcomes of major cardiovascular diseases and pathological processes in cardiovascular system, such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, arterial hypertension, and heart failure. Particular attention is paid to the intestinal microbiota. The currently revealed mechanisms of influence of the intestinal microbiota on pathophysiological processes underlying cardiovascular diseases are described in detail, such as effects on the host immune system, involvement of increased intestinal permeability, as well as the action of microbial metabolites (trimethylamine N-oxide, primary and secondary bile acids, short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan metabolites, phenylacetylglutamine). The main methodological problems associated with microbiome investigation are considered. The ambiguity and diversity of the intestinal microbiota impact on the cardiovascular system in normal and dysbiosis is emphasized.
Relaciones de poder y violencia intragénero en parejas lesbianas: ¿Quién es el hombre de la relación?
Authors: Alanez Darlyn , Jarro Aislin
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo demostrar la generación de violencia entre parejas lesbianas debido a la imposición de los roles de género que se representan a través del comportamiento y pensamiento. Para abordar este fenómeno, el equipo de investigación, conformado por estudiantes de la carrera de Comunicación Social, decidió aplicar una metodología cualitativa ejecutada en grupos focales y entrevistas a lesbianas. Además, se tomaron en cuenta datos cuantitativos de textos sobre el contexto boliviano, realizados por organizaciones como Fundación Hivos, Unión Europea, Adelante Diversidad, y Capacitación y Derechos Ciudadanos (CDC), sobre la comunidad de lesbianas, gays, bisexuales o transgéneros (LGBTIQ+) con un enfoque de violencia intragénero.

De ese modo, los resultados demuestran que la violencia entre parejas lesbianas tiene su origen en el patriarcado por la reproducción y adopción de actitudes de autoridad. A pesar de que, en su mayoría, se considera que la violencia es generada solo en relaciones heterosexuales y se generaliza el ver al género masculino como el único capaz de infundir actos violentos o provocarlos, en las relaciones sentimentales de mujeres también existen agresiones físicas y psicológicas.
Pseudo-Supervised Defect Detection Using Robust Deep Convolutional Autoencoders
Authors: Alpdemir Mahmut Nedim
Published: November 2022

Robust Autoencoders separate the input image into a Signal(L) and a Noise(S) part which, intuitively speaking, roughly corresponds to a more stable background scene (L) and an undesired anomaly (or defect) (S). This property of the method provides a convenient theoretical basis for divorcing intermittent anomalies that happen to clutter a relatively consistent background image. In this paper, we illustrate the use of Robust Deep Convolutional Autoencoders (RDCAE) for defect detection, via a pseudo-supervised training process. Our method introduces synthetic simulated defects (or structured noise) to the training process, that alleviates the scarcity of true (real-life) anomalous samples. As such, we offer a pseudo-supervised training process to devise a well-defined mechanism for deciding that the defect-normal discrimination capability of the autoencoders has reached to an acceptable point at training time. The experiment results illustrate that pseudo supervised Robust Deep Convolutional Autoencoders are very effective in identifying surface defects in an efficient way, compared to state of the art anomaly detection methods.

Published: November 2022

La investigación tuvo como objetivo general determinar la influencia del área de relaciones comunitarias en la responsabilidad social de una empresa minera en la prevención de conflictos sociales mineros, en el distrito de Pichacani – Puno, Perú.  La población de estudio estuvo conformada por 4476 habitantes, se aplicó un muestreo aleatorio simple, determinando 354 habitantes del referido distrito. Se siguió un enfoque cuantitativo con el fin de valorar las perspectivas de la población a través de la técnica de la encuesta. Se identificó factores que propiciaban los conflictos: 1) demora en la entrega de documentos técnicos del proyecto; 2) retrasos en pagos por la utilización de tierras; 3) incumplimiento de compromisos por parte de la empresa minera. Se identificó también que la frecuencia de ocurrencia de conflictos está entre siempre y a veces, pero la mayoría de estos son rápidamente solucionados en reuniones programadas. Se concluye que no existió nunca una convivencia amigable por los constantes conflictos, aun así, los pobladores consideran que estos conflictos no tienen impactos relevantes ya que son solucionados rápidamente y califican su representación en reuniones como positiva.

Published: November 2022

BaSi2 is one of the emerging materials for thin-film solar cell applications; hence the conductivity control by impurity doping is of great importance. The formation of B-doped p-BaSi2 films has been achieved by molecular beam epitaxy and vacuum evaporation. We fabricated B-doped BaSi2 films on Si substrates at 600 °C by co-sputtering BaSi2, Ba, and B-doped Si targets, followed by post-annealing at 900 °C or 1000 °C for 5 min in an Ar atmosphere. Contrary to expectations, as-grown sample and the sample annealed at 900 °C showed n-type conductivity, while the sample annealed at 1000 °C showed p-type conductivity. The reason for the n-type conductivity was discussed based on first-principles calculation considering the presence of oxygen atoms in the order of 1021 cm−3. The n-type conductivity for B-doped BaSi2 is possible only when both the B and O atoms being a substitution impurity are in the same Si4 tetrahedron.
Potential of high-sensitivity tactile sensing using polymer optical fiber gratings
Authors: Noda Kohei , Lee Heeyoung , Watanabe Shunsuke , Nakamura Kentaro , Mizuno Yosuke
Published: November 2022

We characterize fiber gratings inscribed line-by-line in perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers (PFGI-POFs) for tactile sensing. First, we measure the dependence of the wideband transmitted light spectrum on the distance between the fiber grating and an object composed of metal or rubber, clarifying that the spectral power is significantly dependent on the object position in a wide wavelength range. Subsequently, we experimentally show that this behavior is caused by the light scattering at the fiber grating, indicating that PFGI-POF gratings are potentially applicable to simple low-cost tactile sensors or high-sensitivity short-range displacement sensors with no need for additional supportive tools.

A Cost-Effective Tethered-UAV-Based Coherent Near-Field Antenna Measurement System
Authors: Mauermayer Raimund A. M. , Kornprobst Jonas
Published: November 2022

For antenna measurements, the device under test (DUT) is usually transported to an anechoic chamber equipped with a scanner system. To measure on-site, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a flexible solution as they can precisely maneuver a probe antenna over a surface in the DUT’s near-field region. In this work, the designed multi-rotor UAV enables electromagnetically optimal placement of the probe antenna and effective gravity center re-balacing by payload position adjustment. The on-board software-defined radio (SDR) serves as a dual-channel receiver for the dual-polarized probe and as a signal source. For phase-coherent measurements, the source signal is transmitted to the DUT via an optical fiber tethering the UAV to the ground control station. Power supply cables allow unlimited flight times. A laser-based tracking system originating from virtual reality (VR) applications measures the probe position and orientation. The developed operator software guides the UAV along a trajectory and records the irregularly distributed near-field samples. An inverse equivalent sources solver (IESS) with full probe correction computes equivalent sources for antenna diagnostics and the DUT far field. The deployed components make the system very cost-effective. Still, verification measurements demonstrate its usability and the accuracy of the results for frequencies up to several GHz.

Patterns of Comorbidity and Multimorbidity Among Patients With Multiple Sclerosis in a Large US Commercially Insured and Medicare Advantage Population
Authors: Dai Dingwei , Sharma Ajay , Phillips Amy L. , Lobo Carroline
Published: November 2022

Background: Comorbidities are common in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), thus increasing the complexity of disease management and economic burden and worsening their prognosis and quality of life. Real-world evidence comparing comorbidities and multimorbidity patterns of commercially insured vs Medicare enrollees with MS is lacking.

Objective: To evaluate the patterns of comorbidity and multimorbidity among patients with MS in a US commercially insured and Medicare Advantage population.

Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study was conducted using Aetna health claims data from January 1, 2015, to October 31, 2019. Eligibility criteria were (1) at least 3 MS-related inpatient/outpatient (ICD-10-CM: G35), or disease-modifying therapy claims within 1 year (date of first claim = index date); (2) Aetna commercial health plan or Medicare Advantage medical and pharmacy benefits at least 12 months pre-/post-index; and (3) age 18 and older. Commercially insured patients, Medicare Advantage patients younger than 65 years of age, and Medicare Advantage patients 65 years and older were compared.

Results: Among 5000 patients (mean [SD] age, 52.6 [12.9]; 75.2% female), 53% had commercial insurance and 47% had Medicare Advantage (59.2% disabled age <65). Medicare Advantage patients were older (age <65: 53.3 [7.9]; age ≥65: 70.8 [5.2]) vs commercial (age, 45.7 [10.2]), had greater comorbidity burden (Charlson Comorbidity Index; age <65: 1.17 [1.64], age ≥65: 1.65 [1.95]) vs commercial (0.53 [1.02]) (all P < .0001). Symptoms specific to MS (ie, malaise, fatigue, depression, spasms, fibromyalgia, convulsions) were more common among patients younger than 65 (all P < .0001). Age-related and other comorbidities (ie, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, dyspepsia, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, glaucoma, diabetes, cerebrovascular, cancer) were more common among patients 65 years and older Medicare Advantage (all P < .0001). Multiple comorbidities were highly prevalent (median, 4 comorbidities), particularly among Medicare Advantage patients younger than 65 (median, 6) and Medicare Advantage patients 65 and older (median, 7).

Conclusions: Comorbidities and multimorbidity patterns differed between patients with MS with commercial insurance and patients with Medicare Advantage. Multimorbidity was highly prevalent among patients with MS and should be considered in the context of clinical decision making to ensure comprehensive MS management and improve outcomes.
Cost-Effectiveness of the CNIC-Polypill Strategy Compared With Separate Monocomponents in Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease in Portugal: The MERCURY Study
Authors: Aguiar Carlos , Araujo Francisco , Rubio-Mercade Gabriel , Carcedo David , Paz Silvia , Castellano Jose María , Fuster Valentín
Published: November 2022

Background: Cardiovascular (CV) diseases remain a leading and costly cause of death globally. Patients with previous CV events are at high risk of recurrence. Secondary prevention therapies improve CV risk factor control and reduce disease costs. Objectives: To assess the cost-effectiveness of a CV polypill strategy (CNIC-Polypill) compared with the loose combination of monocomponents to improve the control of CV risk factors in patients with previous coronary heart disease or stroke. Methods: A Markov model cost-utility analysis was developed using 4 health states, SMART risk equation, and 3-month cycles for year 1 and annual cycles thereafter, over a lifetime horizon from the perspective of the National Health System in Portugal (base case). The NEPTUNO study, Portuguese registries, mortality tables, official reports, and the literature were consulted to define effectiveness, epidemiological costs, and utility data. Outcomes were costs (estimated in 2020 euros) per life-year (LY) and quality-adjusted LY (QALY) gained. A 4% discount rate was applied. Alternative scenarios and one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses tested the consistency and robustness of results. Results: The CNIC-Polypill strategy in secondary prevention provides more LY and QALY, at a higher cost, than monocomponents. The incremental cost-utility ratio is €1557/QALY gained. Assuming a willingness-to-pay threshold of €30 000/QALY gained, there is a 79.7% and a 44.4% probability of the CNIC-Polypill being cost-effective and cost-saving, respectively, compared with the loose combination of monocomponents. Results remain consistent in the alternative scenarios and robust in the sensitivity analyses. Discussion: The model reflects increments in the number of years patients would live and in quality of life with the CNIC-Polypill. The clinical effectiveness of the CNIC-Polypill strategy initially demonstrated in the NEPTUNO study has been recently corroborated in the SECURE trial. The incremental cost of the CNIC-Polypill strategy emerges slightly above the comparator, but willingness-to-pay estimates and sensitivity analyses indicate that the CNIC-Polypill strategy is consistently cost-effective compared with monocomponents and remains within acceptable affordability margins. Conclusion: The CNIC-Polypill is a cost-effective secondary prevention strategy. In patients with histories of coronary heart disease or stroke, the CNIC-Polypill more effectively controls CV risk factors compared with monocomponents.

SYSTEM OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN MILK AND DAIRY MARKET PARTICIPANTS OF UKRAINE
Authors: KRYUKOVA Irina
Published: November 2022

Introduction. Successful development of the national agro-product sector is impossible without improving the system of market relations between economic entities. The market of milk and dairy products today is one of the most promising markets for agricultural raw materials and food. The decrease in the actual level of the population provision in Ukraine with dairy products in recent years is relevant to studies that characterize the interaction of key elements of the market as part of a single economic system.
Objective. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the composition of the system elements of economic relations between participants in the modern market of milk and dairy products in Ukraine and assess the current state of its development.
Methods. Some methods and techniques of scientific knowledge have been used in the process of scientific research: abstract-logical (in forming the logical-structural scheme of the economic relations system of milk market participants and dairy products), monographic and economic-statistical (in assessing the current state of market development), methods of analysis and synthesis (in the formalization and evaluation of the factors effect on the development of market processes), the method of scientific comparison.
Results. It is determined that the system of economic relations of milk market participants and dairy products is based on a set of levers of the market mechanism of management (demand, supply, price, competition) and the balance of economic interests of each of its subjects. Price is the main lever that balances the economic interests of dairy market players. The modern price mechanism of the market of milk and dairy products contributes to the profitable management of the dairy industry, however, do not provide food security and a sufficient level of consumption of dairy products by the population. The estimation of volumes of production and supply of milk, market balance, level of supply and consumption of dairy products by the population is carried out. The analysis of price tendencies of the market of milk and dairy products in the context of development of the world market of milk is also carried out. The main directions and volumes of state financial support of the dairy industry of Ukraine have been determined. The main problematic aspects of the development of the domestic market of milk and dairy products are: reduction of production of milk raw materials, low quality, low level of effective demand for dairy products by the population, intensification of competition in the market and increased participation of foreign dairy companies.
Prospects. Prospects for further research are to identify and assess the economic benefits of the economic system of the market of milk and dairy products in Ukraine.

Published: November 2022

Introduction. Addressing inequality and poverty is one of the priorities of economic development in most countries of the world, as well as one of the key factors in ensuring economic and social stability. The need to address these issues requires the introduction of new concepts of development, such as the concept of sustainable development or the concept of inclusive development.
The purpose of the article is to generalize the approaches to defining the concept of inclusiveness, research of various aspects of the concept of inclusive development, indicators of its evaluation.
Results. The essence of the concept of "inclusive development" is considered. The key characteristics of inclusive development are indicated focusing on accelerated poverty reduction, coverage of all sectors of the economy, attracting a larger share of the country's labor force. The key discussion aspects of the theory of inclusive development are identified and analyzed: terminological, basic, substantive and applied. The shortcomings of the existing system for assessing the success of countries' development, based on the use of GDP, are studied. The essence, shortcomings and prospects of using a more comprehensive indicator Inclusive Growth and Development Index (IDI), based on the calculation of 12 partial indicators, are identified.
Conclusions. According to the results of the study, the essence and debatable aspects of the concept of inclusive development which is based on the basic principles of the theory of sustainable development are determined. It is substantiated that increasing the inclusiveness of the economic system by involving the majority of the population in active economic activity and participation in the distribution of its results should be in the interests of a wide range of stakeholders. It is determined that promising areas of further research are the transition of this concept from theoretical constructions to the definition of practical tools and models for implementing the principles of inclusive development for the country as a whole and individual economic subsystems within it.
Key words: inclusion, concept of inclusive development, economic growth, Inclusive Growth and Development Index.

Dysphagia affects 5 to 10% of Malaysia's elderly population [1]. Dysphagia is a sort of anomaly that causes discomfort and difficulty swallowing that could be caused by age-related disorders such as stroke, malignancy, and muscle diseases [2]. If left unaddressed, swallowing impairment can lead to social isolation, aspiration pneumonia, and nutritional issues [3–5]. As predicted by 2030, Malaysia will have a 14% rise in the population aged ≥ 60 years old [6].  Thus, a rise in age-related illnesses such as sarcopenia, Parkinson’s disease (PD), and dementia may lead to an increase in the prevalence of dysphagia among the elderly.

This cross-sectional study was conducted from April to June 2022 in a rehabilitation center in Kuala Nerus with 61 participants aged ≥ 60 years old. The muscle strength was measured using the Camry Electronic Hand Dynamometer, which helps to assess the overall muscle strength from a handgrip [7]. This device is light and comes with grooves for finger placement that is more ideal for usage by the elderly. Meanwhile, the risk of dysphagia was evaluated using the Malay version of the 10-item Eating Assessment Tool (M-EAT-10) since it applies to a wide spectrum of swallowing problems [8].

The mean age of participants was (65.67 ± 5.62 years) with 43% being males and 57% being females. Most of the participants were married (77%), have more than one comorbidity (56%), and originates from B40 households (62%). Those who scored ≤ 2 in EAT-10 were 29 (48%) participants while 32 (53%) participants scored ≥ 3 showing a risk of dysphagia. Analysis showed 58% of males presented muscle strength of below 26.00 kg while 42% have normal muscle strength. Similarly, 54% presented with muscle strength of below 18.00 kg while 46% have normal muscle strength among females. There is an association between muscle strength and the risk of dysphagia for both males (p = 0.001) and females (p < 0.001).

This study found a higher prevalence of those at risk of dysphagia compared to those with no risk of dysphagia. There is also an association between muscle strength and the risk of dysphagia for both genders in this study [9,10].

Dysphagia was significantly associated with muscle strength among the elderly in Kuala Nerus. Some limitations in this study include the lack of participants and the source of the population.
The Assessment of Heavy Metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Cd) in Selected Vegetables in Kota Bharu Kelantan

Published: November 2022

Most heavy metals are naturally occurring [1] and some are derived from human activities [2]. Because of the widespread dispersion of these heavy metals in Kelantan's soil [3-8], there is a need to monitor their amounts, particularly in foods. This is due to heavy metals in soil being taken up by crops via transfusion [9]. Heavy metals are biomagnified and bioaccumulated in the bodies of humans and animals who consume heavy metal-contaminated plants [10]. Hence, this study aimed to assess the heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Cd) in chili, cucumber, round cabbage, and okra.

The samples were transported to the Environmental and Occupational Health Laboratory in Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian using a cold box. The samples were cut into small pieces and oven-dried at 60°C-70°C for three days. The dried samples were then crushed into powder and processed using the acid-wet digestion method. Finally, the samples were analysed for the heavy metals' concentration (Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Cd) using Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS). A Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the heavy metals concentration in vegetables (chili and cucumber) between Kampung Binjai and Bunut Payung.

 

The result showed that chili in Kampung Binjai had a higher Pb (p=0.001) and Cd level (p=0.006); whereas cucumber in Bunut Payung had a higher Pb (p=0.001), Zn (p=0.002) and Cd level (p=0.002). The Kruskal Wallis test also showed that Zn (p=0.001), Cu (p=0.020), and Cd concentrations (p=0.001) were significantly different among the vegetables. A posthoc test was performed to determine further the pairs of vegetables that were significantly different from each other. The heavy metals concentrations in the vegetable samples were then compared with the permissible limit set by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)/ World Health Organisation (WHO) and Malaysian Food Regulation 1985. Among all the vegetables tested, Pb concentration (mean ± SD) in chili (0.1189 mg/kg ± 0.02), round cabbage (0.06589 mg/kg ± 0.01) in Kampung Binjai, and cucumber (0.1564 mg/kg ± 0.06) and okra (0.0677 mg/kg ± 0.02) in Bunut Payung had exceeded the permissible limit set by the FAO/ WHO. However, the heavy metals in these vegetables were within the permissible limit set by Malaysia Food Regulation 1985.

 

Even though Pb concentration in some samples exceeded the standard level, most samples were safe to consume. However, traces of Pb and Cd are not supposed to be present in the vegetables. This is due to human body does not require these heavy metals, as they will harm the human body [11]. Therefore, various agencies should address this issue. Consumers should also be mindful of the consumption frequency and variation of vegetables, especially children, because they have a higher nutrient absorption capacity than adults and engage in the hand-to-mouth activity.

Published: November 2022

Salt licks are naturally occurring areas in the forest with high concentrations of minerals which supply nutrients to animals and plants in their vicinity [1, 2]. Microbes, on the other hand, are widespread in the environment, and their presence always has an influence on the habitat in which they thrive. This study was conducted to analyse the diversity of bacteria species in the water of a salt lick in the area of Kapit, Sarawak. The analysis was carried out to determine if there is the presence of the potentially pathogenic species and therefore determine the risk associated with the bacteria in the salt licks environments.

 

Different volumes of samples (2.0 mL and 4.0 mL) were used to determine the fecal coliform count (FCC) and total coliform count (TCC). Molecular identification was carried out using 16S RNA sequencing polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR product of the bacterial genomic DNA of the water samples were examined using 1% (w/v) agarose gel electrophoresis and a single band was observed in all lanes after the agarose gel electrophoresis of the PCR product was done. The PCR products were sent for sequencing in Serdang, West Malaysia. The species were then identified by comparing their sequences with the sequences deposited in the GenBank, NCBI using basic local alignment search tools (BLAST).

 

Table 1 shows the fecal and total coliform count in the water from the salt lick. Both sample dilutions yielded colony counts in the required range. The average reading of both sample dilutions was calculated in which Station 2 had a larger number of FCC (312.5 count/mL) compared to Station 1 (215.5 count/mL). Subsequently, Station 2 also had a higher TCC reading of 8412.5 count/mL compared to Station 1 which had TCC reading of 8237.5 count/mL. This study has revealed the presence of Escherichia coli, Aeromonas sp., Aeromonas hydrophila, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter soli and Enterobacter lignolyticus in the water samples from the salt lick (Table 2).

The presence of the Enterobacteriaceae family indicates the potential presence of pathogenic bacteria in the salt lick water, hence, the salt lick water could be the reservoir for the transmission of bacterial diseases to animal and human. Although fecal coliform bacteria are not necessarily disease agents, their presence may indicate the existence of disease-carrying organisms that live in the same surroundings as the fecal coliform bacteria. The presence of coliform does not necessarily suggest wastewater pollution or the existence of another sanitation-related health problems, but it does signal the necessity for an examination of all water system infrastructure and activities to determine the path of organisms entering the water system. This study is significant in term of public health.
