Published: January 2024

Research background. Watermelon rind, a by-product of watermelon juice processing, contains large amounts of dietary fibre and phenols with antioxidant capacity. The use of agro-industrial by-products would both improve economic benefits and reduce environmental emissions. The aim of this research is to examine the effect of the particle size of watermelon rind powder on the quality of high-fibre pasta.
Experiment approach. The nutritional, physical and physicochemical quality of three samples of watermelon rind powder, sieved through three sieves with aperture size of 400, 210 and 149 μm, were analysed. Durum wheat semolina with watermelon rind powder mass fraction of 10 % were mixed and used to make pasta. Nutritional, textural and cooking quality, sensory acceptability, in vitro glycaemic index and antioxidant bioaccessibility of high-fibre pasta with added watermelon rind powder of different particle sizes were evaluated and compared.
Results and conclusions. When the sieve aperture size was reduced from 400 to 149 μm, the soluble dietary fibre and total phenolic contents of watermelon rind powder were increased by 35 and 15 %, respectively, while its insoluble dietary fibre content was decreased by 21 %. Decrease in sieve aperture size from 410 to 149 μm reduced phenolic bioaccessibility of the fortified pasta from 63 to 57 %, but enhanced its predicted glycaemic index from 50 to 69. It also decreased the pasta hardness by 13 %, but improved its elongation rate and tensile strength by 13 and 40 %, respectively. The finer the particles of the watermelon rind powder, the longer the optimal cooking time, the higher the water absorption index, and the lower the cooking loss of the supplemented pasta. Consumers did not notice any significant differences in the overall acceptability among all pasta samples.
Novelty and scientific contribution. The particle size of the watermelon rind powder had a major effect on nutritional value, texture and cooking quality of the fortified pasta. In particular, the predicted glycaemic index and antioxidant bioaccessibility of high-fibre pasta were significantly affected by the particle size of the dietary fibre material used in the recipe.

Published: January 2024

Os alagamentos em centros urbanos têm sido recorrentes, principalmente em centros urbanos com um crescimento desordenado e uma rede coletora deficitária. Neste contexto, a cidade do Recife-PE apresenta uma vulnerabilidade a alagamentos na ocorrência de precipitações moderadas e fortes. Deste modo, objetivou-se simular a inserção de um reservatório de detenção no do Túnel da Abolição, situado em uma área central de Recife-PE, por meio de um modelo hidrológico-hidráulico, avaliando seus efeitos na minimização dos alagamentos dentro do túnel, a partir de eventos de precipitação ocorridos na cidade. Para isto foram obtidos, junto a Prefeitura do Recife, os dados do sistema de microdrenagem do local e definidos os parâmetros e variáveis necessários para a simulação hidráulico-hidrológica, tais como: delimitação e caracterização das áreas de contribuição, chuva de projeto e curva de maré. Posteriormente foi realizada a calibração e a validação do modelo, que gerou resultados satisfatórios, com erros inferiores a 10%. Entretanto, o local de estudo apresenta uma condição de escoamento desfavorável, o sistema de drenagem concentra a água pluvial captada para o interior do túnel e a implantação de um reservatório de detenção, apesar de diminuir volume e altura no ponto de controle, não é resolutiva. Por conta disso, sugeriu-se um sistema de monitoramento como proposta para antecipar as possíveis falhas do bombeamento e evitar os alagamentos.

Neste artigo, foi realizada a caracterização da agricultura familiar do Território Portal da Amazônia (TPA), analisando a agricultura familiar como um sistema socioecológico. O estudo foi realizado através de pesquisa bibliográfica e dados secundários. Os dados foram organizados através de quatro dimensões: formas de ocupação da paisagem, relações com o mercado, organização social e governança e instituições. No TPA são 19.947 de estabelecimentos rurais, sendo 16.422 estabelecimentos rurais da agricultura familiar, 78 projetos de assentamentos da reforma agrária. A pastagem ocupa 38% da área e 36.6% de desmatamento. O Produto Interno Bruto é equivalente a 5,7 % do estado. O valor bruto da produção de culturas temporárias corresponde a 4,5% do valor do MT e da produção permanente, 16,10%. A comercialização dos produtos é realizada de forma direta aos vizinhos, nas feiras livres e uso de aplicativo. A população é de 282.328 habitantes, sendo 32% da população vivendo na zona rural. Além dos agricultores familiares, estão presentes dezenove povos e comunidades tradicionais e nove etnias de povos indígenas. 54% dos estabelecimentos agropecuários pertencem a pessoas com idade entre 45 e 65 anos. A taxa de mortalidade infantil é de 16,02. O Território conta com 249 escolas, 93 encontram - se na zona rural, compreendendo 37% do total de escolas da região. Existe grande número de organizações da sociedade civil que atuam nesta área. O Território conta ainda com o PAA, o PNAE e o PRONAF. O cenário pré-pandemia indica fragilidades que caracterizam a agricultura familiar.

Published: January 2024

Vascular calcification (VC) is a critical complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD), where transcription factors (TFs) and microRNAs (miRs) could potentially play a pivotal role in its pathogenesis and progression. To explore the potential molecular mechanism by which the TF D-box-binding protein (DBP) regulates the miR-195-5p/cyclin D1 (CCND1) axis and its impact on aortic VC in CKD rats, we established a rat model of CKD with VC through a 5/6 nephrectomy procedure. This model was treated with lentivirus overexpressing DBP or CCND1 to analyze their roles in aortic VC. Additionally, an in vitro cell model of VC was induced by high phosphorus. This model underwent transfection with lentivirus overexpressing DBP or miR-195-5p mimic/inhibitor to confirm their regulatory roles in aortic VC in vitro. We assessed the interactions between DBP and miR-195-5p, as well as between miR-195-5p and CCND1. Our results indicated that the expression of DBP and miR-195-5p was reduced, while CCND1 levels were elevated in both the rat and cell models.  Overexpression of miR-195-5p inhibited VC in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Bioinformatics prediction and dual luciferase assays confirmed that DBP could act as a TF to enhance miR-195-5p expression, with Ccnd1 identified as a downstream target gene of miR-195-5p. Overexpression of DBP inhibited aortic calcification in CKD rats, whereas overexpression of CCND1 produced the opposite effect. In conclusion, the TF DBP can inhibit CCND1 expression through transcriptional activation of miR-195-5p, thereby preventing VC in rats with CKD.
Kulttuurin hyvinvointivaikutukset ja kulttuurinen pääoma opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriön kulttuuripolitiikan strategiassa 2025
Authors: Hongisto Tuulia
Published: January 2024

Kulttuuripolitiikka on osa yhteiskuntapolitiikkaa, jolla vaikutetaan yksilöiden ja ryhmien elämään. Kulttuurin monimuotoisuus rikastuttaa jokapäiväistä elämäämme monin tavoin ja luovuus tukee avoimien, monimuotoisten ja inklusiivisten yhteiskuntien rakentumista. Tässä katsauksessa käsittelen opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriön Kulttuuripolitiikan strategian 2025 tuottamaa kuvaa kulttuurista siitä näkökulmasta, miten kulttuurin ja kulttuuripolitiikan olemassaoloa perustellaan ja kenestä puhutaankulttuurin ja kulttuuripolitiikan käyttäjinä ja kohteina. Katsauksen päätulokset kiteytyvät kahden teeman ympärille. Kulttuuripolitiikan strategiassa hegemonisen puhetavan kulttuurin merkityksestä saavuttavat rikkauden ja menestyksen puhetavat. Kulttuuri näyttäytyy välineenä taloudelliselle vaurastumiselle ja yksilön ja yhteiskunnan menestymiselle. Toisena merkittävänä teemana ilmenee, että vaikka kulttuuripolitiikan strategiassa puhutaan paljon osallisuudesta, saatavuudesta, saavutettavuudesta ja tasa-arvosta, nämä teemat kohtaavat strategiassa ristiriitaisia näkökulmia. Katsauksen tavoitteena on nostaa kulttuuripoliittiseen keskusteluun kulttuurin yhdenvertainen saatavuus ja saavutettavuus, tiedostaen kulttuurin hyvinvointivaikutukset sekä kulttuurin vaikutus yksilön ja ryhmien pääomaan ja yhteiskunnalliseen asemaan.

Wprowadzenie

Zaburzenia ośrodkowych procesów przetwarzania słuchowego (CAPD) mogą w znaczący sposób wpływać na codzienne funkcjonowanie dzieci, a prawidłowo postawiona diagnoza jest pierwszym etapem ustalenia dalszego postępowania w procesie rehabilitacji. W literaturze publikowane są różne wytyczne dotyczące diagnozy, a także różne wartości normatywnych testów psychoakustycznych oceniających ośrodkowe procesy przetwarzania słuchowego. Zaprezentowany w pracy materiał jest największym zebranym do tej pory na świecie. Badana grupa liczy ponad 1000 dzieci spełniających kryteria włączenia.

Materiał i metody

Materiał badawczy stanowią wyniki badań 1037 dzieci w wieku od 6 do 12 roku życia, uczęszczających do ogólnodostępnych szkół podstawowych oraz klas „0” prowadzonych w szkołach i przedszkolach. Przyjęto następujące kryteria włączenia: dzieci z prawidłowym wynikiem audiogramu, w normie intelektualnej, z nieobciążonym wywiadem dotyczącym rozwoju oraz brakiem zgłaszanych trudności w przetwarzaniu słuchowym. Wszystkie włączone do badań dzieci miały wykonywane wybrane na Platformie Badań Zmysłów (PBZ) testy oceniające procesy przetwarzania słuchowego: freqency pattern test (FPT), duration pattern test (DPT) oraz dichotic digit test (DDT).

Wyniki

Wyniki uzyskane od ponad 1000 dzieci pozwoliły na wyznaczenie wartości normatywnych dla testów FPT, DPT i DDT. Przedstawiono różne sposoby określania wartości normatywnych, oparte na miarach statystycznych klasycznych i pozycyjnych. W pracy zaproponowano normy oparte na kwantylach w trzech kategoriach – wynik przeciętny, wynik poniżej przeciętnego, wynik powyżej przeciętnego – co pozwala na szerszą interpretację niż do tej pory stosowana.

Wnioski

Wyznaczone wartości normatywne na największej dotychczas publikowanej grupie badanej oraz za pomocą narzędzia, jakim jest Platforma Badań Zmysłów (przeznaczona do powszechnego zastosowania), mogą stać się podstawą do ujednolicenia standardów postępowania w podmiotach zajmujących się podejmowaną tematyką.

Wprowadzenie

Zespół Ehlersa–Danlosa (ang. Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, EDS) to heterogenna grupa wieloukładowej dziedzicznej dysfunkcji tkanki łącznej. Cechami klinicznymi są nadmierna elastyczność skóry, nadmierna ruchomość stawów i zwiększona kruchość tkanek. Jak dotąd opublikowano niewiele badań dotyczących wyników otologicznych i audiologicznych pacjentów z EDS. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie wyników stapedotomii w długoletniej obserwacji u pacjentki z EDS oraz dokonanie przeglądu przedmiotowej literatury odnośnie procesu diagnozowania i postępowania otolaryngologicznego w tej grupie chorych.

Opis przypadku

Obecnie 23-letnia kobieta z EDS, w wieku 12 lat zgłosiła się do Kliniki Oto-Ryno-Laryngochirurgii Instytutu Fizjologii i Patologii Słuchu z powodu obustronnego niedosłuchu. Od wczesnego dzieciństwa u pacjentki występowały nawracające infekcje górnych dróg oddechowych oraz okresowo stany zapalne uszu z wysiękiem. W badaniu przedmiotowym z użyciem wideootoskopii stwierdzono stan po obustronnym drenażu wentylacyjnym. Wynik badania audiometrii tonalnej potwierdził obustronny mieszany niedosłuch: umiarkowany w uchu prawym i znaczny w uchu lewym. U pacjentki przeprowadzono obustronną stapedotomię. Śródoperacyjnie stwierdzono zmienione warunki anatomiczne w obrębie ucha środkowego wskazujące na wadę rozwojową.

Wnioski

Istnieją pojedyncze doniesienia o przypadkach pacjentów z EDS, u których zdiagnozowano niedosłuch. Z uwagi na ryzyko powikłań śród- i pooperacyjnych, których podstawę stanowi dziedziczne zaburzenie tkanki łącznej, autorzy postulują leczenie zachowawcze, a wszelkie operacje należy wykonywać z najwyższą ostrożnością. Wyniki naszej pacjentki wykazały, że stapedotomia może zapewnić poprawę słyszenia, jednak operacja jest trudniejsza z uwagi na znacznie zmienione warunki anatomiczne.

In the article the features of interactive methods of teaching, are analyzed and the rules of using interactive methods of teaching, as well as different approaches to their classification, are examined. The article reveals the essence and features of interactive teaching methods, describes the characteristics of their varieties and the theoretical substantiation of these methods as effective means of enhancing students' cognitive activity in the educational process of the university. The difference between interactive learning and any other, more traditional, is that it provides learning interaction not only between teacher and students. Students themselves also actively interact with each other in search and creation of new knowledge or in the process of formation and development of new skills and abilities. Feature of interactive forms of learning – a high level of mutually directed activity of the subjects of interaction, emotional, spiritual unity of the participants. The expediency of introducing interactive learning technologies is due to the possibility of transforming the educational process (due to their implementation) into co-learning, mutual learning (collective, microgroup, group, collaborative learning), where student and teacher are equal, equal subjects of learning. The teacher's choice of one or another interactive learning technology is determined by the specialty that students acquire, the content of the discipline, the subjective, professional experience of the teacher, as well as the stage of professional training of students. As a research result it is noted that the use of role-playing games promotes students' cognitive activity, increased interest, etc. Participation in the project work facilitates the acquisition of skills such as searching, highlighting, analyzing, structuring the necessary information; ability to integrate information from different fields of knowledge.

The grooming of automation has been changed to a middle progress in between the evolution of first and third revolution production in industry with automatic trying and organizes mechanisms, systematic effort, operating apparatus and the well-known computer systems. All of the nomenclatures of automation that have manifested surrounding us are conjugated by skillful programming and a set of laws. The current automation in the shopping experience has been a vast technology improvement used by people. But many of the basic requirements are not met. The existing system scans the product only for the price while some systems do not update user preferences. The age ranged recommendations are not taken into account. This process does not upgrade itself and is the same even if the preferences of people change. They only perform automating billing at the counter. Our system scans the face and detects the person’s gender and age to show recommendations accordingly. The searching process for the needed product is made simpler by showing the location on the blueprint of the shop. Each person is assigned an ID and their previous purchases are stored. This information is used to train the system. The application is evaluated the following feature such as context aware, progressive, intelligent, non-human interaction and security. The app is useful for shop owners to improve the business. It also helps the customers to have an automated and happier shopping experience.

Published: January 2024

In 1900, at the risk of the spread of World War I, the French strengthened the defensive lines on the southwestern coast of France as well as the forts along the Germany-France border. In Vietnam, after occupying all six provinces in the South, in order to protect Sai Gon - the capital of the six provinces from other Western powerhouses, the French built a coastal defensive line stretching from present-day Vung Tau to Can Gio (Sai Gon) and to Can Duoc (Long An) to counter the attacks from the coast to the mainland. Long Huu Island, located between the three rivers of Can Giuoc (Rach Cat), Vam Co and Soai Rap (Nha Be) was chosen as the place to build one of the largest military forts in Indochina at that time - Rach Cat Fort (the French also called it “River Defense System” and “Cap Saint-Jacques"). This is one of the earliest military buildings and the most fortified forts across Indochina, which played a crucial role to the French in Southern Vietnam. In the course of its existence, Rach Cat Fort witnessed many military operations. Currently, despite deteriorated parts, the structure of Rach Cat Fort is still intact. With its unique historical value as well as aesthetic value as an old European-style fort, Rach Cat Fort has been ranked as a National Historic Site and is being developed by local authorities into a tourist attraction that attaches historical relics to eco-tourism.

Authors: Et. al. Broskhan. P,
Published: January 2024

The importance of humor can be understood by looking at the meaning of the Tamil proverb, "If you smile, you will get rid of the disease". The most interesting in cinema can also be the most desirable and always-seen scene comedy.  Everyone from the youngest to the oldest loves comedy. Any idea is easily reached when told through humor. As far as Tamil cinema is concerned, a lot of comedians make people laugh and think. Vadivelu in particular has a very important place in the personality. Vadivelu may be a reaction of the common people. This study explores the linguistics that Vadivelu used in the verse he used in his comedy scenes. Tamil languages use a wide variety of Colloquialism and Idiolect. We use many language strategies in our daily lives. For example, proverbs and stories are popular among the Tamil people. Vadivelu used this linguistic technique extensively in films. Five films released in different eras were Manathai Thirudi Vittai(2001), Arya(2007), Chandramuki(2005), Pokkiri(2007) and Talanagaram (2006). The comedy of these films is still widely talked about among the people today as these films were released a while back. The reason for examining these films may be the character of Vadivelu in these films and the verses used in them. We seek to examine how Vadivelu's verses are inspired and used in the normal life of the people. The purpose of this study is to determine how characterization in language takes place in the individual and the basic biology of a group. And how this linguistic characteristic takes place in films. In particular we explore the connection between the success of Vadivelu’s comedy scenes and social use.

Authors: Portella André Alves , Nascimento de Souza Bruno Calil
Published: January 2024

O presente estudo visa realizar uma análise crítica da proposta de reforma previdenciária aprovada pelo congresso brasileiro. Inicia com o estudo do modelo de financiamento da Previdência Social chilena, em meio ao contexto histórico, político, social e econômico em que o mesmo foi estruturado, com vistas a toma-lo como referência às propostas existentes na atualidade brasileira. A abordagem tem enfoque no sistema de financiamento pautado na capitalização individual adotada naquele país, e nos resultados obtidos com a privatização, tanto no que se refere ao aspecto da sustentabilidade econômico-financeira, como no tocante aos impactos sobre garantias individuais e direitos sociais. Quanto ao sistema de financiamento brasileiro, procede-se à análise do modelo de repartição da previdência, dos princípios constitucionais estruturantes desse sistema e das reformas ocorridas ao longo do período democrático, para após comparar ambos os regimes a partir da realidade demográfica, sempre em perspectiva crítica. Por fim, a proposta de reforma previdenciária aprovada pelo governo brasileiro será analisada, em especial a sua premissa, qual seja, a do suposto déficit.
LOS DERECHOS DIGITALES: ¿HACIA UNA NUEVA GENERACIÓN DE DERECHOS HUMANOS? APROXIMACIONES TEÓRICAS DESDE AMÉRICA LATINA Y EUROPA
Authors: Monica Eder Fernandes , Lafuente José Díaz
Published: January 2024

El contexto sociopolítico actual, marcado por el avance de las nuevas tecnologías y la traslación de la vida social al entorno digital, presenta una serie de particularidades e innovaciones aportadas por el denominado derecho digital. El objeto de investigación del presente trabajo, que utiliza como marco de análisis la teoría de las generaciones de los derechos humanos, se centra en cuestionar si el reconocimiento de los derechos humanos digitales como catálogo de derechos humanos queda provisto por las ya existentes generaciones o, en su caso, debe reconocerse como una nueva generación autónoma y diferenciada de derechos humanos. La metodología utilizada parte de la revisión cualitativa de las aportaciones doctrinales más relevantes, con especial atención a las brasileñas y españolas, aplicando una sensibilidad diferenciada en relación con la categorización más adecuada en pro de una mayor efectividad y legitimidad del sistema de protección de los derechos humanos en el entorno digital. Nuestra conclusión principal aboga por una postura teórica que, reconociendo las características propias de los procesos generacionales de derechos humanos, no sólo desde una dimensión histórica sino también axiológica en relación con los valores que sustentan la conformación de cada generación, permita el reconocimiento transversal e inclusivo de los derechos digitales en las tres generaciones tradicionales de derechos humanos.
