The (n,α) and (n,p) cross-sections and their isomeric ratios (σ

m
/σ

g
) were measured at 13–15 MeV for 92Mo and 95Mo by activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometry. The activated Mo samples combined with Al foils were used to obtain the cross-section values and the neutron flux, generated using the 3H(d,n)4He reaction. The cross-sections of the ground states were obtained using the metastable state absolute cross-sections and the residual nuclear decay rule. The excitation functions, total cross-sections, and isomeric ratios for the 92Mo(n,α)89m,gZr and 95Mo(n,p)95m,gNb reactions were calculated using the TALYS-1.95 software. 92Mo(n,α)89m + gZr and 95Mo(n,p)95m + gNb reaction excitation functions were obtained using the EMPIRE-3.2.3 package. These simulation results were compared with the corresponding experimental data and with the evaluated data from the ENDF/B-VIII.0, JEFF-3.3, CENDL-3, and ROSFOND libraries. Only partial agreements were observed.
Personality and climate change mitigation: a psychological and semiotic exploration of the sustainable choices of optimists
Authors: Beattie Geoffrey , McGuire Laura
Published: May 2021

Climate change is an anthropogenic existential threat that provokes extreme concern among climate scientists, but not, it seems, among all member of the public. Here, there is considerably more variability in level of concern and, it appears, in everyday sustainable behavior. But how does personality affect this variability in behavior? And how are underlying personality states like dispositional optimism linked to more sustainable everyday practices? Research in clinical psychology has suggested that dispositional optimism is a very positive personality characteristic associated with higher levels of hope and resilience, but applied research from other domains has reported that optimists can, on occasion, bury their heads in the sand and avoid attending to external threats, like climate change, in order to maintain mood state. So are optimists more immune to climate change messaging than non-optimists? And do they make fewer sustainable choices? A series of experimental studies, manipulating signifiers of carbon footprint (Study 1) and eco labels on products (Study 2) found that optimists made more sustainable choices than non-optimists and that both groups were influenced equally by climate change film clips in terms of sustainable choices (Study 1). Optimists also displayed a false consensus effect, overestimating the proportion of people who would behave more sustainably like themselves (Study 3). Given that global problems like climate change need concerted, cooperative effort, these optimistic beliefs about how others behave could be adaptive in the long-run. Designing climate change messages to appeal to optimists might be a critical consideration for the future.
Religion als Grenzkategorie von „Diversität“: Zur politischen Verhandlung einer Handschlagverweigerung
Authors: Hetmanczyk Philipp
Published: May 2021

Der Artikel analysiert die in der politischen Kommunikation zum Fall Therwil geäußerten Vorstellungen und angestrebten Zielsetzungen bezüglich des Umgangs mit Religion in der Schule. Es steht die Frage im Vordergrund, auf welche Konzepte religiöser Diversität innerhalb dieser Kommunikation rekurriert wird und in welchem Umfang Diversität in der Schule verwirklicht werden soll. Dabei wird eine Diskrepanz zwischen einem auf Inklusion basierenden Diversitätsideal einerseits und der de facto eingeforderten, auf Exklusion zielenden, Handhabung des Therwiler Vorfalls anderseits sichtbar.

EXAMINING THE IDEOLOGY AND POLITICS OF NEW URBANISM
Authors: Dhillon Maanvi
Published: May 2021

New Urbanism (NU) is an urban planning movement that values certain design principles in cities, such as walkability, mixed-use development, and accessible transit. Since its emergence and formalization as a movement in the late twentieth century, numerous North American communities have been built or renovated to adhere to New Urbanist principles, and a significant body of research studies the outcomes in these places. This essay reflects on the existing scholarship to identify recurring issues in New Urbanist communities; namely, these neighbourhoods consistently turn out to be unaffordable and economically exclusive, as well as to create tension or awkwardness between different social groups. As such, I find that rather than merely falling short of theoretical ideals like economic and social diversity, the NU physical design principles can backfire and produce the opposite outcome of their vision for optimal communities; this occurs as a function of environmental limitations like the nature of capitalist real estate markets and the complexities of integration in diverse communities. The essay moves on to interrogate the movement’s failure to advocate for policy changes that would support its social goals and, at a deeper level, their choice to refrain from any political stances. Underneath NU’s attempt at ideological impartiality, I find that their implicit ideal of “community” leads to pernicious tendencies such as embracing homogeneity and disregarding public life. Overall, I argue the movement must reorient from implicit to explicit politics and openly advocate for progressive policy in order for their theory to actually produce diverse, healthy communities.
CUBAN URBAN AGRICULTURE AND THE CHALLENGES TO ORTHODOX WESTERN ECONOMIC DISCORSE
Authors: Sharma Sharang
Published: May 2021

The orthodox way in which economics is studied and implemented follows a primarily European concept of the functioning of economies that is then applied to the various different traditions and cultures that exist all around the world. This paper explores alternative economies and alternative ways of theorizing the economy in order to destabilize the western, orthodox conception of economics. In order to accomplish this, this paper explores Cuban Urban Agriculture, a system where unused land in urban areas is re-appropriated to grow a variety of crops for the local community. Specifically, it explores the ways in which this system views its economic actors, to what extent it applies an abstracted mode of production over various contexts, and how it incorporates culture and the non-economic as key elements. By examining these facets of the Cuban urban agricultural system, this paper sheds light on the hybridity of this system, in viewing workers as both rational profit maximizers and complex subjects with ambivalent desires, in imposing a decontextualized set of objectives for agriculture across Cuba, while leaving space for adaptation to the context within this narrow set, and in embedding this economic system in the local community. Thus, the paper demonstrates, in showing that the Cuban urban agricultural system is only able to partially separate itself from the orthodox western discourse of economics, that while it is possible to find alternatives to this system of economics, even these alternatives tend to adhere to at least some of its principles.
REWRITING THE HISTORY OF ‘COMFORT WOMEN’
Authors: Hu Catherine
Published: May 2021

Grievabilty, as Judith Butler outlines in Precarious Life, is when individuals are valued, loved, and respected. When they are of value, and thus when they pass, they are worthy of being grieved for. Throughout history, including the present day, we are constantly reminded of those who are ungrievable and those who have been derealized, whether that be Indigenous people, those who died in the war, those exploited by corporations, those who endured slavery, the list is endless. One group, in particular, is that of ‘comfort women’ these are women who were captured by the Japanese military during World War II and unwillingly become sex slaves for the entire army, they are among the many who were lost to this war. Therefore, this paper will be examining the history of ‘comfort women’ during World War II through the lens of Judith Butler's Precarious Life. By applying the concept of greivability, and understanding the process of derealization, this paper was able to not only critically recognize that the circumstances of war and the cruel nature of the Japanese military led to the derealization of ‘comfort women’, but that the survivors were also able to use their trauma as strength, empowering them in a new era, with the help of media and women’s rights groups, to undo their derealization and reclaim their power.

Published: May 2021

A systematic review in PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar was conducted to provide a state-of-the-science overview of agility tests in the racquet sports tennis, badminton, and squash while evaluating their measurement properties. Twenty articles were included covering 28 agility tests. Results showed 10 sport-specific agility tests of which 5 were assessed on reliability and 6 on validity. Both the Badcamp and the badminton-specific speed (“agility”) test were identified as suitable agility tests available for badminton. For tennis and squash, there were no sport-specific agility tests identified in the literature showing both reliable and valid results. Future research should focus on developing sport-specific agility tests for tennis and squash, including assessment of the reliability and validity of the tests.
Modelling the drying kinetics of apple (Golab variety): fractional calculus vs semi-empirical models
Authors: Mahdad Abdelkader , Benhelal Mohamed , Hentabli Mohamed , Hanini Salah , Laidi Maamar
Published: May 2021

In this work, two novel models have been proposed based on semi-empirical and factional calculus incorporating non-integer time derivatives in the Fick’s first law of anomalous diffusion. The experimental data has been collected from literature of 15 kinetics investigated in a convective dryer under the effect of temperatures ranging from 40 to 80 °C at 10 °C interval, and thickness of the slices of 2 to 6 mm at 2 mm interval. The collected experimental dataset was of apple slices (Golab variety). Results from this study were compared with a set of 64 thin-layer drying models previously published in the literature. The fitting capability of the models was compared using the mean of root mean square error MRMSE (%) of all kinetics and the global determination coefficient R2. All models’ constants and coefficients were optimised by dragonfly algorithm programmed in MATLAB software. Results show that the fractional model is highly capable of describing the drying curve of the apple slices with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.99981, and average root mean square error (MRMSE) of 0.43 % in comparison to the best empirical models with R2 of 0.99968 and MRMSE of 0.61 %.
Prevalence and predictor for malignancy of contralateral thyroid nodules in patients with unilateral PTMC: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Wang Weidi , Kong Lingjun , Guo Hongkun , Chen Xiangjin
Published: May 2021

Background

The presence of clinically negative nodules on the contralateral lobe is common in patients with unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). The appropriate operational strategies of contralateral thyroid nodules remain controversial. In this study, we analyzed clinical features that could be predictors for malignancy of contralateral thyroid nodules coexisting with diagnosed unilateral PTMC.

Methods

The literatures published from January 2000 to December 2019 were searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wan Fang database. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI was used to describe categorical variables. Heterogeneity among studies was examined by the Q test and I2 test; potential publication bias was detected by Harbord test and ‘trim and fill’ method.

Results

In this meta-analysis, 2541 studies were searched and 8 studies were finally included. The results showed that the rate of carcinoma in contralateral nodules was 23% (OR = 0.23, 95% CI = 0.18–0.29). The pooled data indicated that contralateral malignancy was not associated with age, gender, primary lesion size, ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis and multifocality of contralateral lesion. The following variables have correlations with an increased risk of contralateral malignancy: multifocality of primary carcinomas (OR = 3.93, 95% CI = 2.70–5.73, P < 0.0001), capsular invasion (OR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.10–2.36, P = 0.01), and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.13–2.20, P = 0.008).

Conclusions

Based on our meta-analysis, the rate at which contralateral malignancies are preoperatively misdiagnosed as benign is 23%. The risk factors for contralateral malignancy in unilateral PTMC patients with contralateral clinical negative nodules include multifocality of primary carcinomas, capsular invasion, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Effect of Fenton pretreatment on enzymatic hydrolysis of poplar
Authors: Wang Shujie , Sun Jin , Chen Mengjie , Hou Xianfeng , Gao Zhenzhong
Published: May 2021

The Fenton reaction has been widely used in the pretreatment of lignocellulose. It offers the advantages of simple operation, fast reaction speed, and low pollution. In this study, the effects of different proportions of Fenton reagents on the enzymatic hydrolysis of poplar were compared and analyzed, and the optimal ratio of Fenton reagents was obtained. The maximum yield of enzymatic hydrolysis of glucose in Fenton pretreatment samples was 406 mg/g at H2O2 and Fe2+ concentrations of 1.0 mol/L and 0.01 mol/L, respectively, which was 2.5 times that of untreated samples. Meanwhile, the composition analysis and FT-IR analysis showed that Fenton pretreatment could degrade lignin and hemicellulose effectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that Fenton pretreatment can partially destroy the amorphous region of poplar. These findings will contribute to efforts to improve the viability of the Fenton pretreatment process for converting biomass into energy.

Objective

Social media disorder (SMD) is an increasing problem, especially in adolescents. The lack of a consensual classification for SMD hinders the further development of the research field. The six components of Griffiths’ biopsychosocial model of addiction have been the most widely used criteria to assess and diagnosis SMD. The Bergen social media addiction scale (BSMAS) based on Griffiths’ six criteria is a widely used instrument to assess the symptoms and prevalence of SMD in populations. This study aims to: (1) determine the optimal cut-off point for the BSMAS to identify SMD among Chinese adolescents, and (2) evaluate the contribution of specific criteria to the diagnosis of SMD.

Method

Structured diagnostic interviews in a clinical sample (n = 252) were performed to determine the optimal clinical cut-off point for the BSMAS. The BSMAS was further used to investigate SMD in a community sample of 21,375 adolescents.

Results

The BSMAS score of 24 was determined as the best cut-off score based on the gold standards of clinical diagnosis. The estimated 12-month prevalence of SMD among Chinese adolescents was 3.5%. According to conditional inference trees analysis, the criteria “mood modification”, “conflict”, “withdrawal”, and “relapse” showed the higher predictive power for SMD diagnosis.

Conclusions

Results suggest that a BSMAS score of 24 is the optimal clinical cut-off score for future research that measure SMD and its impact on health among adolescents. Furthermore, criteria of “mood modification”, “conflict”, “withdrawal”, and “relapse” are the most relevant to the diagnosis of SMA in Chinese adolescents.

Purpose – to analise of results, long-term experience of surgical treatment of cardiovascular diseases in patients with Marfan syndrome to improve quality and prolong life. Materials and methods. A conducted prospective analysis of consecutive patients (292) with Marfan syndrome treated at the institute during 1980–2018. The age of patients was 7–57 years, mean 31.6±9.4 years. Among them, men – 220 (75.3%), women – 72 (24.7%). Marfan syndrome was diagnosed according to the criteria of Gent Nosology (2010). 24 (8.2%) patients were not operated on for various reasons. The remaining 268 (91.8%) were managed surgicaly: 257 – ascending aortic aneurysm; 4 – abdominal; 7 patients – only mitral valve insufficiency. Results. Hospital mortality was 9.3% (25 patients). Long-term results were studied in 224 (92.2%) patients from all who had been discharged from the clinic within 6 months – 20 years on average 63 months. Good long-term results were admitted in 145 (64.7%), satisfactory in 41 (18.3%), unsatisfactory in 14 (6.3%) patients. 24 (9.9%) patients died in the long term observation. Conclusions. Aortic aneurysms in patients with Marfan syndrome are formed at a young age. The most common cause sof death in the unoperated cases are rupture of aneurism or heart failure. The «gold-standarg» remains the Bentall De Bono operation. The patients who underwent surgical treatment requires observation during all-life period. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of these Institutes.

A literature review on the subject of varicocele in children which include historical data and question about: etiopathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnostics, treatment and long-term outcomes. The diagnostic method of varicocele unchanged until the XX century and consisted of visual examination and palpation with or without Valsava maneuver. But after entering in diagnostic protocol contrast venography, thermography of testis and ultrasound examination, this protocol have significant changes. For a long time, phlebography has been considered the «gold standard» for the diagnosis of varicocele. But the big disadvantage of this procedure is high invasiveness. Doppler ultrasound mapping has given a new impuls to the diagnosis of varicocele due to minimally invasiveand accessible. G. Liguori, C. Trombetta in their work showed that surgical treatment of varicocele should begin when the testicle size is reduced by more than 20%, or 2 ml of volume in ultrasound examination. Also, the visualization of reflux into the seminal vein is more specific in the ultrasound examination. G. Sigmund et al. introduced the concept of stop-type, shunt-type reflux into the seminal vein. However, in the case of unexplained recurrent varicocele, only antegrade venography can provide sufficient information. The review presents the classic and alternative surgical treatments of varicocele in children. Today it is safe to say that the treatment of varicocele has entered to the era of modern evidence-based medicine. A large number of studies indicate that the expansion of the testicular plexus has a progressive detrimental effect on testicular tissue and leads to a deterioration in sperm count. The methods witch used to correct varicocele earlier was traumatic, but modern surgery has brought many innovative technologies and methods of surgical correction. In addition, there have been impressive developments in bimolecular and functional sperm tests. Nowdays gold standard of surgical treatment varicocele is microsurgical subgingival varicocelectomy but this operation has one big disadvantage. This is possible damage of the testicular artery. The solution of this problem can be obtained by finding new intraoperative way of visualization and defending testicular artery and lymphatic vessels. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: varicocele, microsurgical subgingival varicocelectomy, children.

La cultura gráfica en los territorios de frontera se convirtió en una realidad histórica muy compleja debido a los flujos de población e influencias culturales y sociales que convergieron en estos espacios; lo cual, además, determinó los tipos de documentos producidos, sus elementos formales o los modelos gráficos utilizados. En esta investigación presentamos algunos de los fondos documentales de los archivos Distrital de Braga y Catedralicio de Tui que nos permiten estudiar la frontera gráfica entre estas dos diócesis en los siglos XIV y XV y las posibilidades ofrecidas por el análisis comparativo de ciertos aspectos paleográficos y diplomáticos de sus componentes.
La interrupción de las peregrinaciones etíopes a Tierra Santa en el contexto de la rivalidad entre otomanos y portugueses a principios del siglo XVI
Authors: De-Lama-de-la-Cruz Víctor
Published: May 2021

Desde los primeros tiempos del cristianismo, Jerusalén fue el principal destino de las peregrinaciones cristianas. Las que partían de los países occidentales son hoy bien conocidas debido a la considerable abundancia de relatos de peregrinos. Sin embargo, por razones geográficas, políticas y lingüísticas son poco conocidas las que realizaban a Tierra Santa los cristianos etíopes durante la Edad Media y los primeros tiempos modernos. Por eso mismo se debe conceder una importancia excepcional al relato de Francisco Álvarez que se divulgó por Europa sobre la fortuna de dos peregrinaciones que se dirigían a Jerusalén desde el país del Preste Juan. Dicho relato es un testimonio incomparable de las tensiones políticas, militares y religiosas que se produjeron en el entorno del mar Rojo a principios del siglo XVI.

Published: May 2021

The above article analyzes the socio-political thought and pastoral ministry of Stefan Wyszyński in the context of the Polish state’s post-war political transformation. The author’s interpretation of the source materials is intended to present the endeavor of Wyszyński in the complicated process of post-war political changes taking place in Poland at that time. The exploration of the above research will be based on analyzing source texts by the historical method consisting of historical facts and their reinterpretation by the inductive-deductive approach. Therefore, the above article’s fundamental goal is to present the country’s post-war socio-political situation and the Catholic Church’s strategy in Poland, undertaken by Wyszyński. Presenting the significant influence of Stefan Wyszyński, who, on behalf of the Church in Poland, commenced to call on clergy to recognize and respect state authority, to cooperate in the reconstruction of the country, and to support all efforts to strengthen peace and mutual cooperation, will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the complex relations between the Church and the communist state in the period of the post-war political transformation of Poland.
Another as the Other. Following the Dialogical Thought of Józef Tischner
Authors: Manikowski Maciej
Published: May 2021

The world is a stage where everything is just a thing, even man. We discover it in an intentional opening. However, if we make a dialogical opening, man is no longer an object, but becomes a subject. Here we meet man as The Other and not as Another, an alien. Where do we encounter him? On the road, at the inn. What is needed? Setting a primal distance and entering into relation, in Martin Buber’s terms, or a dialogical opening and personification, entering into language or speech, according to Józef Tischner. On the road, at the inn where everyone is another, an alien, we become the other.
The Validity of Karol Wojtyła’s Philosophy Today
Authors: Hołub Grzegorz
Published: May 2021

The article deals with the problem of the importance of Karol Wojtyła’s philosophy. He is shown as a thinker interested in the achievements of many philosophers throughout history, like Aristotle, St. Augustin, Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant or Max Scheler. However, he is also presented as someone who undertook his own way of philosophizing focused on the human person. Therefore the article underlines Wojtyła’s dialogue with other philosophers at the time when he was developing his own philosophical standpoint. Moreover, his philosophy is shown as a discipline associated with real problems rather than with meta-philosophical ones. The article also discusses Wojtyła’s philosophy of the human person and how it can deal with anti-personalist tendencies in contemporary philosophy. Finally, the author considers some difficulties associated with the philosophy of Wojtyła and how it should be developed in the future.

Resumo Trata-se de pesquisa teórica realizada com base em documentos oficiais produzidos entre 2015 e 2020, por organismos multilaterais e organizações da sociedade civil, bem como notícias veiculadas na internet que tratam de temas relacionados à educação, especialmente no período da pandemia do novo coronavírus. Verifica-se o apelo ao uso das tecnologias e educação em Educação a Distância, combinado com discursos que ressaltam as competências socioemocionais e formação de professores sob a ótica da flexibilidade e centralidade no aluno como protagonista de suas próprias escolhas diante do aumento das desigualdades sociais e novos requerimentos do mercado de trabalho. Utilizou-se como método de análise o materialismo histórico, sob o qual a relação trabalho e educação e as políticas educacionais daí decorrentes são apreendidas como expressão da ordem do capital. No atual momento histórico, o capital em crise determina as novas condições e necessidades de formação para a classe trabalhadora, materializadas pela ação dos aparelhos privados de hegemonia e intelectuais coletivos do capital, esses examinados à luz das contribuições de Gramsci.

ABSTRACT No doubt, this is a time of crisis. The impact of COVID-19 on people’s lives is tremendous. The pandemic affects human beings in different ways, depending on their place in society, but everybody is somehow affected: in finances, emotions, behaviors, to mention a few. The same is true about education. Institutions, teachers and learners are pushed to debates and changes never considered, which raise a number of uncertainties. Motivated by discussions the authors took part in as teacher educators, a documentary research was conducted, focusing on national and local documents published due to the pandemic. Based on the data collected, in this article we aim at discussing their possible implications for teacher education.
Critical Literacy with (Freire) and for the Other (Levinas): Ethics/Social Justice as Enigmatic Becoming
Authors: Takaki Nara Hiroko
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT One of the key features of critical literacy is the concern with the human and non-human collective other in vulnerable social condition. The obstruction for disenfranchised communities, local language policy goals, exacerbating social inequities and violence seems never-ending. Much before the pandemic times, one side of society had been forcing unprivileged and disempowered communities to struggle for alternative ways to go on playing the game of life. To this end, innovative, participative and ethical education which places the self as responsible for the radical other, frequently an enemy, (LEVINAS, 2007) might enhance learning, unlearning and relearning. I conclude that such a perspective might expand the exercise of critical literacy (FREIRE, 2005), a condition to minimize the impacts of the crises in contemporary society. This research is part of my ongoing project entitled Linguistic-Cultural Education, Language Teaching, Technologies and productive Social Justice in Dilemmatic Times and it is linked to the National Project of Teacher Education1 through the theories of Critical Literacies, Multilteracies, New Literacies, coordinated by Walkyria Monte Mór and Lynn Mario Trindade Menezes de Souza. Following a bibliographic interpretive research methodology, this work comprises two moments. In the first one, it presents a brief outline of the already one with and for the other in contemporary scenario of online/offline learning, intertwined with the current educational Brazilian situation, going beyond (post)pandemic times, as life-long learning (ALHEIT, 2018). The second moment seeks to theorize on the contributions of Freire (2005), Levinas (1991, 1994, 2000, 2007, 2008, 2014) and Braidotti (2006, 2018, 2019) with more details on the second, bearing in mind the Levinasian ethics is apparently less approached in the applied field of linguistics and also due to the scope of this article.
Education in Brazil: A Discussion of Current Problems and a Call to Action
Authors: Jucá Leina Claudia Viana , Mattos Andréa Machado de Almeida
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT In this text, we try to address several issues that have been long hindering Brazilian Education. Since the promulgation of the so-called Citizen Constitution (BRAZIL, 1988), the Brazilian government hasn’t yet been able to provide free and quality education for all Brazilians, and a big portion of Brazilian citizens are still illiterate, especially those who belong to lower classes and black communities. We will focus on the vicious cycle that is created when, in having education denied, the population is also automatically denied the right to perceive their neglected and violated rights. What consequences may this vicious cycle generate for the Brazilian population? In what ways can we overcome the limits it imposes on us? What Brazil would we have if we could get rid of this cycle? And how does this relate to the daily lives of each of us?

Resumo Objetivo Compreender a percepção materna acerca da vigilância do desenvolvimento de crianças menores de três anos que frequentam creche. Método Estudo qualitativo com nove mães de crianças menores de três anos, matriculadas em uma creche do município de João Pessoa-PB, vinculada a uma Unidade de Saúde da Família. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e submetidos à análise temática. Resultados A vigilância do desenvolvimento de crianças que frequentam creche encontra-se fragilizada, visto que a maioria das mães não costumam levar a criança para a unidade de saúde, para o acompanhamento do crescimento e desenvolvimento, e a inserção dos profissionais de saúde na creche ainda é limitada. Entretanto, as mães reconhecem a creche como cenário ideal para a promoção do desenvolvimento infantil e a importância da atuação dos profissionais de saúde nesse cenário. Conclusão e implicações para prática São necessárias ações conjuntas da creche com a Unidade de Saúde da Família para a atenção integral e vigilância do desenvolvimento infantil.

Published: May 2021

Este artigo objetiva refletir, a partir da teoria do amadurecimento de Winnicott, sobre as implicações da pandemia de Covid-19 e das medidas de isolamento social para a saúde mental dos adolescentes. Algumas das vivências paradoxais dos adolescentes frente à pandemia são: necessidade de separação dos pais ou cuidadores e confinamento; necessidade de convivência grupal e isolamento social; necessidade de cuidado continuado da sociedade e fechamento ou mudanças em prioridades de atendimentos em serviços. Tal população vivencia a impossibilidade de realização dos processos saudáveis do amadurecimento, inseridos em um ambiente invasivo e pouco sustentador, o que pode provocar uma geração de adultos adoecida e caracterizada pelo desenvolvimento do falso Self. Este estudo lança luz sobre a vida ideoafetiva de uma população que tem sido pouco olhada durante a pandemia e traz importantes reflexões para as práticas interprofissionais voltadas aos adolescentes.

Research background. Drying represents a viable unit operation for the preservation of food. Convective drying is the most used method for plant materials. However, it can result in negative changes in food nutrient composition, and other quality parameters, besides having high energy consumption. Pretreatments can represent an alternative to minimise these negative aspects of dried materials. This work aims to evaluate the use of ethanol and ultrasound before pineapple convective drying and its effect on the product´s colour, water activity, ascorbic acid and total carotenoid contents.

Experimental approach. For the pretreatment step, fruit samples were immersed in ethanol solutions of different volume fractions, and experiments were carried out for 10 min with and without using ultrasound (25 kHz). Fruit samples were dried at 60 °C. A control group (without the pretreatment step) was also dried in the same condition. Semi-theoretical models were used for drying data fitting, and the diffusional model was used to describe the moisture transfer and calculate the effective diffusivity. Water activity, ascorbic acid, total carotenoids and colour analyses were performed.

Results and conclusions. The combination of ethanol and ultrasound as a pretreatment reduced the drying time of pineapple. Higher effective moisture diffusivities were obtained when ethanol and ultrasound were performed before drying. The two-term exponential model presented the best fit for drying experimental data. The dried samples had a darker colour than the fresh sample. The pretreatment with ethanol resulted in increased retention of the studied bioactive components. The satisfactory results of this study represent an improvement in the drying process.

Novelty and scientific contribution. Ultrasound and ethanol as a pretreatment to convective drying are promising. However, each food matrix has a typical structure and composition. Therefore, the application of the pretreatment in other products or using other conditions is still necessary to deeply understand and explain their effect on the process and the quality of dried products.
Spatial and temporal dynamics of two cacti seed banks in a xerophytic shrubland in Mexico City
Authors: Guzmán-Vázquez Itzel , Castillo-Argüero Silvia , Orozco-Segovia Alma , Collazo-Ortega Margarita
Published: May 2021

Background: Soil and aerial seed banks directly affect recruitment in plant populations. Soil banks result as the balance between seed inputs and outputs. Seed bank dynamics vary by species and environmental conditions. Few records on cacti seed banks are available.
Questions: What types of seed banks do two cacti genera form in a lava-field reserve? Does seasonality influence the seed bank dynamics? Are inputs and outputs associated to the microenvironment?
Studied species: Opuntia tomentosa , O. lassiacantha , Mammillaria haageana subsp. san-angelensis , M. magnimamma .
Study site and dates: Xerophytic shrubland in the “Reserva Ecológica del Pedregal de San Ángel” in Mexico City. 2016 to 2018.
Methods: We collected soil samples from four microenvironments during the rainy and the dry seasons, searched for seeds and tested their viability. We compared the number of inputs, outputs and viable seed by microenvironment and season. For M . magnimamma , each month we registered fruit maturation and searched for seeds remaining between tubercles.
Results: Opuntia seed bank inputs occurred in all microenvironments and in both seasons. Rain favored inputs in hollows by secondary seed dispersal. We registered a large number of outputs caused by germination, granivory and loss of viability. Opuntia seed bank was developed in headland, plain and slope. No Mammillaria seed inputs were found, neither an aerial bank in M . magnimamma .
Conclusion: Opuntia seed banks were restricted to microenvironments that provided “safe sites” which stored viable seeds. Mammillaria seed dynamics may hinders recruitment for their populations.
