Língua e representação afrodescendente no romance A selva provocações em torno de uma pretensa obliteração na literatura amazonense
Authors: RODRIGUES ADRIANA CRISTINA AGUIAR
Published: October 2024

O romance A selva, de Ferreira de Castro, foi publicado em 1930. O enredo da narrativa abrange o período entre 1910 e 1920 e tem como tema a condição de seringueiros e de outros grupos subalternizados nos seringais da borracha situados nas brenhas da Amazônia. Tomando essa obra como objeto de análise, propomo-nos, neste artigo, a uma leitura crítica pós-colonial (Fanon, 2005, 2008; Bhabha, 2013; Brugioni, 2022; Hall, 2013) em torno da representação de personagens negros e mestiços em A selva, a fim de contestar uma pretensa obliteração de subjetividades negras e mestiças na Amazônia (Sampaio, 2011), bem como os modos como tais sujeitos são, via linguagem, constituídos. A literatura é entendida aqui, pois, como linguagem que pode contribuir para a visibilidade de sujeitos historicamente marginalizados e apagados ou, diversamente, pode configurar-se como mais um espaço de reificação, apagamento e/ou de exotização desses sujeitos (Said, 2011).

Authors: Ni Putu Eni Astuti , Ni Made Rely Indah Sari
Published: October 2024

This study aims to describe the contribution of children's literature in character education and the selection of children's literature according to the developmental stage of elementary school children. This study is a qualitative-descriptive study of the library research type. Data collection techniques are by searching for sources and constructing from books on children's literature and accredited journals, then analyzing critically and in-depth. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be explained that the contribution of children's literature to the emotional aspect is obtained from demonstrations of life as demonstrated by the characters in the story so that children will learn how to manage their emotions so as not to harm themselves and others. In the intellectual aspect, children's literature contains sequencing and plot logic to support children's use of their minds to think, understand and criticize the stories they get. In the aspect of imagination, literature in its stories can attract the child's entire self. With this, the child gains an extraordinary experience that is significantly correlated with creativity and will provoke the growth and development of creativity. In the social aspect, children's literature demonstrates character interactions so that it supports children in maximizing their development in their proximal development zone. In addition, from an educational aspect, children's literature is connected to aspects of exploration and discovery, language, beauty, multicultural insight, and children's reading habits that influence reading habits and literacy culture, which are very necessary in facing the progress of science and technology in this era.

Published: October 2024

This study investigated the botanical composition, soil cover, and quality of a rangeland located in the Yedigöller region of İspir district, Erzurum province, Türkiye, in 2020. The Loop method was employed to determine these parameters. A total of 44 taxa were identified in the study area, with Asteraceae (13 taxa), Poaceae (8 taxa), and Lamiaceae (4 taxa) being the most dominant families. The overall soil cover was determined to be 70.29%. Poaceae species accounted for 40.38% of the vegetation cover, followed by Fabaceae (3.55%) and other families (56.07%). The rangeland quality was assessed as "Poor" with a quality index of 2.17. These findings indicate that the rangeland in the study area is of low quality and requires improvement measures.
Unpacking the Integration Paradox: The Impact of Muslim Religion, Destination Context, and Personal Characteristics on Perceived Discrimination
Authors: Molteni Francesco , Pellicciotti Arianna
Published: October 2024

Perceived discrimination is the feeling of being treated unfairly because of the belonging to a particular group. This study explores three factors contributing to this among migrants: exposure to discrimination, language proficiency, and unmet expectations. Using European Social Survey data, it examines how personal traits (e.g., generation, language, education) and policy contexts influence perceived discrimination. Results highlight an “integration paradox,” where more integrated Muslim migrants, especially second-generation, report higher discrimination. The study also finds that the integration setting moderates the relationship between migrant generation and perceived discrimination, suggesting that integration policies may have short-term unintended consequences.
A meta-analyst should make informed decisions: Issues with Bayesian model-averaging meta-analyses
Authors: Román-Caballero Rafael , Vadillo Miguel A.
Published: October 2024

When synthesizing the results of multiple studies, meta-analysts typically assess publication bias using different models. However, none of those methods clearly outperforms the others and the inferences drawn from these methods are therefore subject to substantial uncertainty. One approach proposes to solve discrepancies between publication-bias methods by favoring results of methods that perform reasonably well under the specific conditions of the meta-analysis. A recent proposal known as robust Bayesian meta-analysis (RoBMA) has become an influential alternative. RoBMA uses Bayesian model averaging with different publication bias models and is presented as a method that absolves the meta-analyst from the difficult decision of choosing which publication-bias model to apply. In the present study, we tested the performance of RoBMA with the data sets from replication projects in different fields (Psychology, Economics, Cancer Biology, Experimental Philosophy, and Nature and Science papers) and simulated meta-analyses with similar conditions. Despite the lack of publication bias in all data sets, as all the replications were published, the combination of heterogeneity and well-informed sample size planning (via power analysis) resulted in small-study effects that RoBMA identified systematically as a sign of publication bias. As preregistration and power analyses become widespread practices in research and given that scientific results are heterogeneous for reasons that are not always known, meta-analysts should become increasingly careful in their use and interpretation of methods based on funnel plot asymmetry. Our findings suggest that publication-bias analyses require informed decisions by the meta-analyst and no data-driven approach can replace their expertise.
Stereotypes at the intersection of perceivers, situations, and categories: analyzing stereotypes from storytelling using natural language processing
Authors: Wang Yilin , Lin Chujun
Published: October 2024

Stereotypes are often viewed as cognitive shortcuts that simplify expectations about how individuals in a group may behave. Consequently, prior work primarily examined stereotype content as a function of single-category groups, overlooking how it varies across perceivers, situations, and intersecting categories. To address this gap, we conducted two pre-registered studies with U.S. representative participants (N = 1,721) who freely wrote stories about how other people generally view 9 groups across 6 representative situations and of 30 intersectional categories. Using large language models, we found that although stereotypes are considered products of social learning about groups, they varied considerably across perceivers and situations. Intersectional stereotypes showed both dominance effect, with Asian stereotypes dominating other crossed-categories potentially due to U.S. population’s lower exposure, and integration effects, which were in general asymmetric between categories These findings highlight the complex variability of stereotype content in naturalistic contexts, opening new doors to reducing intergroup biases.
Value Projection. Humans perception of a humanoid robot in moral contexts.

Published: October 2024

As robots become collaborators in various domains, understanding human perception of them as moral and intentional agents ispivotal. This study addresses different strategies to promote humans’ perception of social robots as value-aware collaborators,focusing on the alignment of values between humans and the humanoid robot iCub. Employing three different strategiesof describing the iCub robot abilities of moral-decision making, we found that regardless of the strategy used, participantstended to attribute moral agency to iCub, likely influenced by its humanoid appearance. Interestingly, the absence of priorindication of iCub’s ability to make moral decisions led to a lower adoption of intentional stance. These results suggest anuanced relationship between perceived intentionality and morality in human-robot interactions. Moreover, our findings advanceour understanding of how humans perceive different agents in terms of value-awareness, bridging subjective and objectivemeasures through behavioural and self-report indicators.

Published: October 2024

The importance of physical training today is undoubtedly relevant in solving the problems of military personnel's readiness to fulfill the assigned tasks of military and professional activities.
It is known that one of the leading factors affecting the health of servicemen with disabilities is compliance with the regime of physical activity, which in turn is facilitated and played an important role by physical training and sports. The systematic formation of the need for physical training and sports depends primarily on the individual, his or her preferences, beliefs and interests, i.e. motivation. Therefore, one of the priority areas of activity of specialists involved in the rehabilitation and adaptation of servicemen with disabilities is the formation of motivation in physical training and sports in the conditions that have developed in our country after the invasion of the Russian aggressor.
The article is devoted to highlighting and analyzing the problematic issues that require special attention in terms of helping to integrate servicemen who have health problems or have been severely injured during hostilities into the social environment and further motivate them to participate and engage in physical education activities.

Published: October 2024

Physical education of adults is important for maintaining their health. The choice of directions for the use of means of physical education should be based on the prevailing needs for motor activity of persons of mature age. The goal is to develop and experimentally substantiate the methodology of yoga classes for women aged 21-35. Participants Women 21-35 years old. Methods. Psychodiagnostics, movement testing, pedagogical experiment. Intervention. The method of yoga classes with middle-aged women has been developed and tested. The peculiarity of the proposed method is connected with the systematic use of original sets of yoga gymnastics exercises. The developed complexes were applied taking into account the successive increase in exposure and were used in accordance with the solution of specific training tasks. The results. The effectiveness of the proposed format of using yogic gymnastics exercises to improve indicators of the physical and psychological state of middle-aged women has been established. The improvement of performance characteristics, the cardiorespiratory system and the normalization of the psychological state of the participants under the influence of the applied sets of exercises were recorded. Discussion. Systematic yoga classes in the format of using developed sets of exercises were to determine their effectiveness in improving physical conditions and improving the psychological state of middle- aged women. The selected physical exercises belonged to the field of mental fitness and were stato-dynamic in nature. Accordingly, the mild effect of the classes on women who do not regularly engage in fitness should be related to the improvement of physical conditions, and meditative practices were associated with expectations regarding the normalization of the psychological state of the participants. The obtained results confirmed the stated expectations and do not contradict the results of similar studies. Conclusions. The established features of building effective yoga classes with middle-aged women allow us to recommend this type of fitness as an affordable means of improving the health of this contingent of people. The obtained results contribute to the further search for possibilities of detailing the program of yoga classes with middle-aged women in order to expand the range of tasks of physical education of this continent of people.

Importância da análise histopatológica no diagnóstico de sarcoma de tecidos moles
Authors: Andrade de Oliveira Aline , Gomes Max Wilson Pinto , Martins Daniela de Carvalho
Published: October 2024

The present work aimed to inform on the importance of diagnosis through histopathological analysis of a grade II soft tissue sarcoma in a mixed breed female dog. Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a type of malignant neoplasm that originates from mesenchymal tissues, affecting several species, but is more prevalent in medium-sized and elderly dogs. Clinical signs are variable and depend on the location of the tumor, generally occurring in the pelvic limbs. In the present report, the patient in question had a history of a subcutaneous mass measuring 30 cm in diameter, weighing 5 kg, located on the right flank and pelvic limb. Therefore, the diagnosis was initiated through laboratory and cytopathological tests; however, definitive confirmation was obtained through histopathological analysis, confirming the diagnosis. Therefore, histopathological diagnosis is extremely important in determining the prognosis and choosing the most effective treatment, with surgical resection being the most indicated treatment for these cases. Although the prognosis is generally favorable after complete removal of the neoplastic mass, factors such as size, location and grade of the tumor significantly influence clinical results, as in the case discussed, thus reinforcing the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment of STS, in order to promote quality of life for patients.

Published: October 2024

O tamanho da semente e sua relação com o potencial fisiológico vêm sendo estudados por diversos autores. O percentual de germinação entre diferentes lotes pode estar ligado às condições ambientais adversas durante a etapa de produção, mal formação, incidência de pragas e doenças e deterioração advinda do atraso na colheita ou armazenamento. Porém, não há consenso quanto aos resultados demonstrados. Neste sentido, este estudo foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar o potencial fisiológico de sementes de soja em função do tamanho. Para tanto, foram utilizadas sementes de três cultivares de soja: NEO 760, NEO 810 i2x e FTR 3191 IPRO. Cada cultivar foi representada por três lotes e classificadas em dois tamanhos de peneiras (5,5 e 6,5 mm de diâmetro). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, sendo os tratamentos em esquema fatorial 3 x 2 (lote e nº da peneira, respectivamente), com quatro repetições de 50 sementes para cada teste. Os testes para determinação do potencial fisiológico foram realizados imediatamente após a colheita e após 90 dias de armazenamento. Foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: germinação em papel, viabilidade e vigor em tetrazólio, germinação em areia e envelhecimento acelerado. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância pelo teste F e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey (p < 0,05). Não foi evidenciada a relação direta entre o tamanho das sementes de soja e o potencial fisiológico para nenhuma das cultivares analisadas neste ensaio

Published: October 2024

With the increasing popularity of healing methods involving salt, the importance of salt mines has grown significantly over time. Today, as salt therapy (Speleotherapy) becomes more widespread, salt caves in many countries around the world have begun to transform into salt therapy centers. Salt caves in Spain (Cardona), Belarus (Soliharsk), Romania (Slanic, Salina Turda, and Praid), Poland (Wieliczka), Pakistan (Khewra), Germany (Berchtesgaden), Azerbaijan (Nakhchivan), and Turkey (Çankırı and Iğdır Tuzluca) are used for therapeutic purposes. Particularly, Çankırı Salt Cave and Iğdır Tuzluca Salt Cave are important resources in Turkey that can be evaluated within the scope of health tourism. In this study, a literature review, official website analysis, and on-site observations were conducted. In the literature review, previous research on the subject was examined. Through website analysis, the spatial units and recreational activities of the salt caves were identified. The spatial units and recreational activities of each salt cave were determined using the collected data. Subsequently, on-site observations were made by visiting the salt caves in Çankırı and Iğdır. During these observations, the spatial units within the salt caves were visited and photographed individually. Then, the data obtained from the literature, official website analyses, and on-site observations were combined. Finally, the characteristics of all the examined caves were tabulated, and based on the created table, the caves were evaluated. As a result of the evaluation, the Cardona Salt Mine in Spain stands out for its historical and cultural activities; the Nakhchivan in Azerbaijan, Soligorsk in Belarus, Slanic and Praid Salt Mines in Romania are treatment centers offering salt therapy services; the Salina Turda Salt Mine in Romania is an underground theme park; the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland, Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, and Berchtesgaden Salt Mine in Germany are primarily used for recreational purposes; while the developing Çankırı and Iğdır Tuzluca Salt Mines in Turkey are also noted for their recreational use.
Models of Patient Derived Hematopoietic Stem Cell Xenografts for Assessing Individual Human Radiosensitivity
Authors: Atamanyuk Natalia I. , Pryakhin Evgeny A.
Published: October 2024

There are different approaches to assessing the human individual radiosensitivity. In this study, individual radiosensitivity was assessed in terms of survival and recovery of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) after acute gamma irradiation of humanized mice. Immunodeficient NOD SCID mice were transplanted with cord blood HSC intravenously, peripheral or umbilical cord blood HSC intraosseously. The estimated D0 value for human HSCs was 1.19 Gy (95٪ CI 0.90 to 1.74), 0.99 Gy (95٪ CI 0.87 to 1.15), and 0.93 Gy (95٪ CI 0.61 to 1.91) for the three methods of obtaining humanized mice, respectively. For all three methods of mouse humanization, statistically similar models that describe the dependence of HSC survival on the acute gamma irradiation dose in the range of 0.5—1.5 Gy were obtained. Thus, intraosseous administration of peripheral blood HSCs to immunodeficient mice can be effectively used to assess the response of human HSCs to radiation exposure. Comparison of the HSC number (CD34+ cells) and their descendants (CD45+ cells) in non-irradiated and irradiated mice humanized with cells from the same donor on days 3 and 14 after irradiation makes it possible to evaluate the processes of radiation-induced death and recovery of HSCs. A coefficient calculated as the ratio of the proportion of HSCs among all human cells in the bone marrow of humanized mice on the 14th day to the proportion of HSCs on the 3rd day after irradiation was proposed to assess the response to radiation exposure. This coefficient had an inverse linear dependence on the radiation dose, differed in mice with increased and normal radiosensitivity, and increased with the use of the radioprotector cysteamine in humanized mice. We propose to use this coefficient for a comparative assessment of human radiosensitivity.

DNA methylation is one of the processes of epigenetic regulation of the genome, which is sensitive to the influence of endogenous and exogenous factors. The effect of ionizing radiation on the genome is accompanied by a change in the degree of DNA methylation, which can be dose-dependent and persist for a long time after radiation exposure. The objective of the study was to assess the degree of DNA methylation of blood lymphocytes after a single exposure to gamma radiation at a dose of 1.5 Gy using wide-genome bisulfite sequencing. The study included 10 conditionally healthy male employees of the ionizing radiation facility who were not exposed to radiation and did not suffer from chronic diseases. The material was whole blood: 0 Gy (control samples) and 1.5 Gy (experimental samples irradiated with gamma radiation). After irradiation with subsequent cultivation of whole blood, DNA isolation and bisulfite sequencing of limited sets of genomic loci (Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing) was performed using XmaI restriction enzyme (XmaI-RRBS). 41 genes were identified, including 26 genes (HOXD4, PADI2, FOXK1, FTCD, PRDM16, TOM1, PPP1R14A, FLNB, OR1F1, RARA, CRTAC1, AP5B1, ARL5C, NOC2L, MAMDC4, FGFRL1, PPFIA3, CUX2, ANKRD20A19P, FAM83H-AS1, CBFA2T3, POLN, MIR4458HG, FNBP1, SPIRE2, and ZSCAN10) have a tendency to hypomethylation DNA, and another 15 genes (CHRNA4, SEPTIN9, ZNF174, ELK3, NFAM1, ALG10, SOX8, KLHL30, URI1, HBZ, KLF14, MYO16, MYEOV, DMKN, and PAX7) tend to have hypermethylated state detected in at least 50٪ of the experimental samples. Thus, the genes identified in this study can be promising markers of radiation exposure and, in the future, be used to develop a new type of biological dosimetry – epigenomic dosimetry of personnel in contact with ionizing radiation sources in the course of their professional activities.
Development of a Therapeutic Agent Based on Escherichia coli, Assessment of Harmlessness and Anti-Radiation Activity
Authors: Gaynutdinov Timur R. , Vagin Konstantin N.
Published: October 2024

The paper presents the development, assessment of the safety and antiradiation activity of a therapeutic agent based on the culture of Escherichia coli strains “PL-6” and “KV-1”. To obtain the antiradiation agent, the causative agent of colibacillosis was grown in meat-peptone broth in a thermostat at a temperature of 37°C for 3 days. The grown suspension was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 50 min, the supernatant was decanted. The sediment was brought to 1 billion cm3 with distilled water. Smears were prepared from the grown cultures and stained according to Gram to determine the purity and species of the grown culture. The prepared suspension was poured into sterile vials of 10, 50 or 100 cm3, sealed with rubber stoppers and rolled with aluminum caps, labeling with an indication of the strain, radiation dose and date. Irradiation of the microbial material was carried out on the γ-installation “Issledovatel”, source 60Co, absorbed dose rate of 1.028 Gy/sec, in the ranges of absorbed doses from 7.5 to 30.0 kGy with interdose intervals of 2.5 and 5.0 kGy. The degree of inactivation of γ-irradiated E. coli cultures was determined by seeding them on meat-peptone agar and thermostatting for 168 hours, recording the presence or absence of microorganism growth. The studies have established that the timing and degree of growth of irradiated E. coli cultures of the “PL-6” and “KV-1” strains are directly dependent on the radiation dose, their complete inactivation occurs with irradiation at a dose of 25.0 kGy. Further studies have shown that the developed biopreparation obtained on the basis of E. coli is sterile, areactogenic, non-toxic and harmless. The mechanism of formation of radioresistance of the organism against the background of application of antiradiation agents based on E. coli strains “PL-6” and “KV-1” consisted in restoration of hematological, biochemical and immune parameters, which contributed to preservation of 66.7 to 83.3٪ of lethally irradiated animals.

In the vegetation experiment, the plutonium, micro- and macroelements migration in the “soil–agricultural plant” system depending on soil moisture in the range from 15 to 40٪ of absolute soil moisture were studied. The content of 239Pu was analyzed by α-spectrometry with preliminary radiochemical isolation. The elemental composition was analyzed by the ICP-MS and ICP-AES methods. Beans (Fabaceae) variety “Amber” were used as a test culture. The plutonium transfer factor obtained in the vegetation experiments are in the range of of 5.3×10–4–1.5×10–2, with an average value of 5.4×10–3 for the aboveground part of bean and range of 4.5×10–2–2.7×10–1, with an average of 1.6×10–1 for bean roots. It was determined that the distribution of plutonium, micro and macro elements in the vegetative organs of plants is not equally, the transfer factor of plutonium for the aboveground part of plants is lower than for the root part. It has been established that the accumulation of plutonium, micro- and macroelements, depending on soil moisture, is different for the organs of beans. The dependence of plutonium accumulation by plants on soil moisture is significantly higher than for other considered elements. A decrease in the coefficient of accumulation of plutonium in the aerial part of the beans is recorded with an increase in soil moisture up to two orders of magnitude. There is a trend towards a slight decrease in the accumulation coefficients of Fe, Mg, Mn, Cr, Mo, Ni, Co, Cu. For the root system of beans, a clear dependence of the accumulation of the considered elements on soil moisture is not observed.
Ist die Kontrastierung von Allgemein- und Berufsbildung in der Weimarer Republik ein Scheinproblem?
Authors: Schönhold Rafael
Published: October 2024

Erwachsenenpädagogische Historiograf:innen sehen in der Weimarer Volksbildung Anknüpfungsversuche an neuhumanistisches Gedankengut. Ursächlich ist die theoretisch gesetzte Differenz von allgemein-zweckfreier gegenüber beruflich-instrumenteller Bildung. Tatsächlich kam es aber zu semantischen Verschiebungen in der Bedeutung des Worts ‚Allgemeinbildung‘. Kontroversen entfalteten sich nicht als Konkurrenzverhältnisse zweier Bildungsformen, sondern in dem Versuch, diese miteinander zu verbinden.
»Romantik und Realismus in der deutschen Erwachsenenbildung« oder von manchmal überraschenden Diskursbewegungen in der Erwachsenenbildung der Weimarer Zeit
Authors: Ciupke Paul
Published: October 2024

Ende der 1920er Jahre findet in der führenden Erwachsenenbildungszeitschrift Freie Volksbildung ein Disput statt, in dem es um die Frage geht, ob die von romantischen Impulsen geprägten didaktischen und bildungspolitischen Verständnisse der Neuen Richtung noch zeitgemäß sind oder man eine nüchterne, realistische Auffassung pädagogischer Prinzipien entwickeln muss, die die Arbeitsteilungen und unterschiedlichen Aufgaben der Einrichtungen berücksichtigt und daher eine intellektuelle Schulung und einen ‚geordneten Unterricht‘ anstrebt.
Transforming territorial governance to make it transformative: reflections from and for action research for territorial development
Authors: Arrona Ainhoa
Published: October 2024

The challenge of the climate emergency has highlighted the relevance of local transformative action for the development of new paths to sustainability, but also the relevance of the connection between the local and the global so that these paths have a real impact. Delving into this local-global connection is key for action research, and specifically, for Action research for territorial development (ARTD) and the Pedagogical approach (PA), two action research approaches that work from and for the territories, and which are the subject of analysis in this special issue. With the aim of contributing to deepening of this relationship, this article adapts the concept of transformative governance proposed by IPBES to build an actionable framework for reflection on the contribution of territorial development policies and research to transformative governance. It then analyses the IADT and the EP with this framework and suggests strengthening the critical dimension of facilitation so that these approaches are better adapted to the challenge of climate change.
Democracy and agonism in the face of the climate crisis: in search of irruptive collaborative governancen

The challenges of the new millennium make it essential to establish synergies between the instituting and institutional spaces that are trying to further democracy. From this standpoint, it is necessary to analyse the improvement of democracy made by the irruptive contributions of social movements. This article presents and exemplifies a new model of governance, that of irruptive governance, which aspires to enable protestors and institutional spaces to feed into each other in fuller democracy. Based on a specific example, it shows that environmental movements in the French Basque Country are managing to determine, oversee and improve municipal strategies aimed at mitigating the climate crisis. It concludes by suggesting that the collaboration of universities promoting participatory action research strategies can bring about synergies between irruptive and institutional actors, supporting the search for a choreography that allows agonism and democracy to work in harmony.
Solidarity and broadening the practices of action research
Authors: Greenwood Davydd J.
Published: October 2024

We live in a world of runaway global social inequality and immanent planetary ecological collapse and action research is more necessary than ever. Solidarity across countries, regions, classes, and ecosystems is the only way out of these linked crises caused by neoliberal capitalism. Action research is a vibrant and heterogeneous set of democratic practices capable of addressing many of these dilemmas. Action researchers have for generations largely been content to develop their own approaches independently and the attempts to create better integrated global action research networks have yet to show the needed success. This essay argues that the lack of collaboration and solidarity across the whole spectrum of action research is an unaffordable luxury. Living up to our own ethical and political commitments, we need to find ways to treat the diversity among our own practices and political visions as sources of strength and dynamism. Beyond this, together we need to make a concerted effort to link with other groups and networks promoting fairness, democracy, sustainability and solidarity because the future without these collaborations is unsustainable.
Systematically Challenging Three Prevailing Notions About Entropy and Life
Authors: Chen Jiming , Chen Ji-Wang , Zivieri Roberto
Published: October 2024

This article reveals the original, fundamental, and uncontroversial (OFU) nature of entropy: entropy, whose unit is joule/kelvin, is a physical concept analogous to energy, being heat energy mathematically divided by the relevant thermodynamic temperature. It systematically challenges three notions prevailing in diverse disciplines: (1) Entropy is a measure of disorder; (2) life relies on negative entropy; (3) and many systems tend to become increasingly disordered due to the second law of thermodynamics, which contradicted the OFU of entropy and were based on incorrect reasoning. The challenge is supported by numerous compelling facts in physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as the modern explanation of the second law of thermodynamics given by this aricle. The challenge, if widely accepted, could facilitate the eradication of the entrenched misleading effects of these misconceptions in diverse disciplines and facilitate relevant research and education on complexity, entropy, disorder, order, evolution, life, and thermodynamics.

Biji mangga memiliki kandungan protein (7,5 – 13%), karbohidrat (69,2 - 80%), kalsium (0,21%), abu (2,2 –2,6%), fosfor (0,22%) dan serat (2,0 – 4,6%). Oleh karena itu, biji mangga dapat diolah menjadi bahan pangan yang potensial. Tujuan penelitian yaitu membuat tepung biji mangga, mengetahui pengaruh waktu blanching serta konsentrasi asam askorbat terhadap kandungan karbohidrat, lemak, protein, kadar air dan sensori tepung biji mangga. Pembuatan tepung biji mangga melalui tahapan diantaranya pengupasan kulit, pencucian biji, pemotongan tebal 0,5 cm, penimbangan, blanching 85℃ selama (0; 2,5; 5; 7,5; 10) menit, perendaman 30 menit dengan Na-metabisulfit 0,2%, perendaman dengan 20 menit dengan asam askorbat (0; 0,5; 1; 1,5; 2)%, pengeringan (80℃, 4 jam), penghalusan, pengayakan 80 mesh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semakin lama waktu blanching, kadar karbohidrat, protein dan air tepung biji mangga semakin meningkat, sedangkan kadar lemak semakin menurun. Konsentrasi asam askorbat semakin tinggi juga meningkatkan kadar karbohidrat, dan protein tepung, namun menurunkan kadar air dan lemaknya. Perlakuan blanching dan perendaman asam askorbat pada biji mangga berpengaruh nyata terhadap warna tepung (p<0,05), namun berpengaruh tidak nyata pada aroma dan tekstur tepung (p>0,05).
 
Mango seeds contais protein (7.5 - 13%), carbohydrate (69.2 - 80%), calcium (0.21%), ash (2.2 -2.6%), phosphorus (0.22%) and fiber (2.0 - 4.6%). Mango seeds can be processed into potential food. The objectives of the study were to make mango seed flour, determine the effect of blanching time and ascorbic acid concentration on the content of carbohydrates, fat, protein, water content, and sensory of mango seed flour. Steps to make mango seed flour including peeling and washing the seeds, cutting 0.5 cm thick, weighing, blanching at 85℃ for (0; 2.5; 5; 7.5; 10) minutes, 30 minutes soaking with Na-metabisulfite 0.2%, immersion with 20 min with ascorbic acid (0; 0.5; 1; 1.5; 2)%, drying (80℃, 4 hours), pulverization, 80 mesh sieving. Research result showed that the longer the blanching time, carbohydrate, protein and water content of mango seed flour increases, while the fat content decreases. The higher ascorbic acid concentration also increased the carbohydrate and protein content of flour, but decreased the water and fat content. Blanching treatment and ascorbic acid soaking treatment on mango seeds had a significant effect (p<0,05) on the color of the flour, but did not significantly affect the aroma and texture of flour(p>0,05).
