The seams and scars of architectural thought
Authors: Kapustin Petr
Published: January 2023

Thinking in alternatives and oppositions is a classic way of organizing any meaningful thought – from Greek aporias to Peter Eisenman’s journal Oppositions. In this way, it is possible not only to keep the different in the unity of view, but also to keep hope for a synthesis (a third way) alive, a hope which is far from always illusory. The inexhaustible source as well as the basic mechanism for the production of alternatives and oppositions is interpretation, an enigmatic capacity located beyond semiology and the “transparency of the sign” envisioned by it. At different scales and on different materials, the article assesses the main development resources of architectural and design thinking of our time in their most significant, in the author’s opinion, alternatives and oppositions.

Published: January 2023

The university campus built in the desert and semi-desert zone in countries with a hot climate is becoming important not only for the sustainable urban development of the region, but also for solving global problems associated with climate change and reducing carbon footprint. The article discusses the history of the creation of the campus of the private Kalamoon University in Syria, which shows how the university has an impact on the urban development of the city of Deir Atiyah and the surrounding areas. Against the backdrop of a difficult geopolitical situation, the Kalamoon University Campus has become an “oasis in the desert” and currently represents a modern university architectural and landscape complex with a comfortable and accessible environment, which is an example of effective development of territories in a hot climate, as well as one of the “anchor elements” of the urban planning system of the Al-Kalamoon region.
Virome in the context of health and pathology of the human respiratory system
Authors: Stoma I. O.
Published: January 2023

The human body, along with extensive microbial communities called the microbiome, contains various viruses, collectively referred to as the «virome», and the number of such microorganisms is characterized by great complexity and heterogeneity and exceeds the number of bacteria in the microbiome by a factor of 10. Human virome is constantly renewed due to rapid evolution and entry of viruses from the environment, and the viral community of the human body is an indicator of human health. One of the components of virome is bacteriophages, the diversity of which is determined primarily by the species comprising the bacterial component of the microbiome. Along with other anatomical structures of the body, the respiratory tract of healthy humans is represented by a huge community of viruses just as much as by bacterial communities, and analysis of the full viral diversity of the airways is vital for understanding the features of the human virome. To date, next-generation sequencing approaches, the cost of which has decreased significantly recently, are the most convenient methods for virome analysis and the use of the results in clinical practice.

Published: January 2023

Objective. The article considers and confirms a statically significant relationship between styles of self-regulation and aggression in alcohol-addicted individuals. The revealed relationship made it possible to determine the violation of the process of self-regulation and the spontaneous manifestation of various types of aggression common to persons with alcohol addiction.

Materials and methods. The study sample included 295 men with alcohol addiction syndrome (F10.2) aged 21 to 60 years, mean age 40.7±8.9 years, and alcohol consumption averaged 13.5 years. The following materials were used for the study: the methodology “Types of aggressiveness” developed by L. G. Pochebut (2012); questionnaire “Style of self-regulation of behavior” (SSRM). Statistical package SPSS 19.0 was used for statistical analysis. The Spearman correlation coefficient for independent samples was used, and the difference between two independent samples was estimated using the Mann-Whitney U-test.

Results. Identified difference between persons in LTP (group I) and persons in hospital (group III) in parameters of “Planning” and “Independence” (p <0.01) The noted average level in all groups I, II and III in the parameters of the scale “General indicator of self-regulation” and revealed weak and moderate negative relationships of the scale “General indicator of self-regulation” with the scale “General level of aggression”. There was a significant decrease in indicators below the average level in persons of group III on all scales: “Planning”, “Programming”, “Flexibility”, “Modeling”, “Evaluation of results”, “Independence” and “General indicator of self-regulation”. The revealed difference between groups I and III in terms of “Planning” and “Independence” (p <0.01) showed that as they stop consuming alcohol in isolation, people in group I gradually regain access to awareness, adaptive restraint, perspective thinking and selfregulation.

Conclusion. The main rehabilitation work in the conditions of the penitentiary system should be aimed at increasing volitional self-regulation, the formation of positive attitudes, the restoration of social and normative qualities and skills of prosocial interaction.

Authors: Ebone Paul
Published: January 2023

This study explores the provision of professional studies, its quality assurance practices, and the undesired increasing lack of 21st century skills among graduates from private universities in Mfoundi division. The rising unemployment rate and inability to create jobs for graduates from these private institutions is a menace to the realization of 2035 emergence dream in Cameroon. Based on the interpretivist philosophy, the researcher employs the interview guide to collect data from 75 stakeholders from private universities in Mfoundi division. Content analyses were employed to examine the various opinions. The findings reveal that the quality of teaching staff is questionable, and the pedagogic activities are too theoretical due to a lack of quality assurance practices. We, therefore, recommend that private universities in Mfoundi division should design specific quality assurance units to ensure the smooth functioning of its systems.

Published: January 2023

Background: Results of the Riskesdas Nasional 2010 stated that as many as 13.7% of Indonesian women experienced menstrual cycle disorders. Menstrual cycle disorders in women, particularly in adolescent girls, needs special attention because they can have a long-term impact on their reproductive health. The most influential cause of menstrual cycle disorders is hormonal imbalance. This may be caused by several factors, including obesity. Therefore, this research is conducted to analyze the relationship between obesity and menstrual cycle disorders in adolescent girls. Method: This is observational analytic research with a cross-sectional research design. In 2021, 7th and 8th grade adolescent girls at SMP Al-Izzah International Islamic Boarding School Batu were sampled using the total sampling technique. A questionnaire with multiple questions about characteristics, nutritional status, and the menstrual cycle was used to gather the information needed for this research. Result: From a total of 202 respondents who filled out the research questionnaire, 19.8% were obese and 43.1% had menstrual cycle disorders. As many as 65% of 40 obese respondents suffered from menstrual cycle disorders. Hypothesis testing reveals a significant relationship between obesity and menstrual cycle disorders in adolescent girls (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Obesity influences the occurrence of menstrual cycle disorders in adolescent girls, and obese adolescent girls are up to 3.075 times more likely to have menstrual cycle disorders than non-obese adolescent girls.

Authors: Gok Sargin Z , Celik U , Dusunceli I , Ustundag Y
Published: January 2023

Background and study aim: Entecavir (ETV), Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF), and Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) have been approved for treating Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) and recommended due to their high safety profile and high resistance barriers. This study aimed to evaluate the kidney functions, bone, and metabolic parameters in CHB patients receiving ETV, TDF, and TAF treatment.

Patients and methods: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 469 CHB patients who were treated with TDF (n = 256), ETV (n = 184), or TAF (n = 129) for at least six months between March 2012 and March 2022, were enrolled.

Results: No significant difference was observed between three groups regarding ALT normalization, HBV DNA suppression, and HBs Ag seroconversion (p = 0.15, p = 0.26, p = 0.72). After the treatment, there was a significant decrease in GFR values in the TDF, ETV, and TAF groups (p<0.01, p = 0.01, p = 0.01, respectively). No significant improvement was observed in the GFR values after TAF treatment in 77 patients who had switched from TDF to TAF (p = 0.51). Moreover, no significant decrease in bone mineral densities was observed in the TDF, ETV, and TAF groups (p = 0.24, p = 0.41, p = 0.95, respectively). There was no significant difference between the three groups in metabolic parameters (serum glucose, lipid profile, calcium and phosphorus levels, etc.) when the data were adjusted for underlying comorbidities.

Conclusions: ETV, TDF, and TAF are comparably safe and effective antiviral agents against CHB.

Authors: Shi P , Zhu W.T. , Liang A , Wan J , Fu J.W. , Wu X.P.
Published: January 2023

Background and study aims: Glucocorticoid (GC) treatment for liver failure is controversial. This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and predictive factors of glucocorticoid therapy for hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV- ACLF).

Patients and methods: A total of 302 patients with HBV- ACLF were enrolled and categorized by treatment modality (GC vs. Control). Baseline characteristics, liver function, disease complications, and mortality were recorded. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify predictive factors for HBV-ACLF-related mortality.

Results: GC therapy significantly improved the 30- and 60-day mortality of HBV-ACLF patients (4.64% vs. 11.92%, P=0.022 and 16.56% vs. 25.83%, P=0.049 for the Control and GC groups, respectively) and GC was an independent prognostic factor for 30-day mortality (OR = 0.177, 95% CI 0.051-0.616, P = 0.007). However, enhanced survival was not associated with improved liver function. There were no significant differences in the incidence of complications (i.e., ascites, bacterial infection, encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, and gastrointestinal bleeding) between the GC and Control groups (P >0.05), except that fungal infection occurred with higher frequency in the GC group (P = 0.037). A significant improvement in the 30-day survival associated with GC therapy was observed among patients <40 years of age, a Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score of 25-35 or a CLIF- Consortium ACLF (CLIF-C ACLF) grade 0-1 (all P <0.05).

Conclusions: GC therapy improved the short-term (30- and 60- day) mortality of patients with HBV-ACLF. This treatment may be of particular benefit to patients who are <40 years of age, have a MELD score of 25-35, or have a CLIF-C ACLF grade of 0-1. (Acta gastroenterol. belg., 2022, 85, 593-600).

Published: January 2023

Background and study aim: Over the last 20 years, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has progressively become a therapeutic option for peritoneal carcinomatosis thanks to its favourable oncologic results. The aim of this study is to analyse the overall survival and recurrence-free survival, after complete CRS and closed abdomen technique HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer.

Patients and methods: This retrospective study collected the data from all patients who underwent a CRS with HIPEC for colorectal cancer at “Cliniques universitaires Saint Luc” from October 2007 to December 2020. Ninety-nine patients were included.

Results: The median follow-up was 34 months. Post-operative mortality and Clavien-Dindo grade III/IV morbidity rates were 2.0% and 28.3%. The overall 2-year and 5-year survival rates were 80.1% and 54.4%. Using the multivariate analysis, age at surgery, liver metastases and PCI score >13 showed a statistically significant negative impact on overall survival. The 2-year and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 33.9% and 22%. Using the multivariate analysis, it was found that liver metastases, the extent of carcinomatosis with PCI>7 have a statistically significant negative impact on recurrence-free survival.

Conclusions: Despite a high recurrence rate, CRS followed by HIPEC to treat peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal origin offer encouraging oncologic results with a satisfying survival rate. When PCI>13, CRS and HIPEC does not seem to offer any survival benefit and to efficiently limit recurrence, our data are in favor of a maximum PCI of 7.
Diagnosis and screening for anal intraepithelial neoplasia in Belgium: position statement
Authors: Roelandt Ph , De Looze D , De Schepper H , Ledouble V , Surmont M , Cuming T
Published: January 2023

Anal cancer is an uncommon malignancy, comprising only 2.5% of all gastrointestinal malignancies and similar to cervical cancer, the human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for the majority of anal cancers. Over the last decades there has been an up to 3-fold increased incidence seen in specific populations at risk such as persons living with HIV (PLWH), men who have sex with men (MSM), woman diagnosed with HPV-related gynaecological precancerous lesions or cancer, solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) and patients with autoimmune diseases. Although international practice is evolving increasingly towards active screening for and treatment of anal cancer precursors in at-risk groups, currently no organised screening program is in effect in Belgium. Currently, differerent screening options as well as treatment modalities are available. Before commencing a nationwide organised screening program, essential decisions on screening strategies need to be made, based on both scientific as well as financial and logistical facts.

Background and study aims: The long-term comprehensive prognosis of chronic hepatitis C after direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prognosis and incidence of immunological and oncological complications after DAA therapy.

Patients and methods: The study included a total of 1461 patients who received DAA therapy in our university hospital and affiliated hospitals between September 3, 2014 and September 30, 2018.

Results: The incidence rates of total malignancies in overall or female patients after DAA therapy were significantly greater than expected in the corresponding general population. The same was true for lung malignancies. Predictive risk factors associated with the occurrence and recurrence of hepatic malignancies after DAA therapy in patients with sustained virological response were cirrhosis and insulin use, protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II level, and albumin-bilirubin score, respectively. Eight (0.5%) patients were diagnosed with autoimmune diseases after starting DAA therapy. Importantly, the attending physician considered a possible causal relationship between DAA therapy and these autoimmune diseases in five cases (four rheumatoid arthritis and one membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis). The 5-year overall survival rate was 91.6%. The most frequent primary cause of death was malignancy in 41 (60.2%) patients, including 25 with hepatic malignancies. Lung and colorectal cancers were the next most common.

Conclusions: Given that the incidence of total and lung cancers might increase and DAA-related autoimmune diseases might emerge after DAA therapy, we should be alert for the development of these diseases as well as hepatic malignancies.

Published: January 2023

A partir do amplo e complexo movimento de reflexões e transformações geradas pela Reforma Psiquiátrica, o modelo de atendimento em saúde mental se transformou para o objetivo de retirar os usuários dos manicômios e inseri-los na sociedade. A Musicoterapia pode contribuir significativamente no desenvolvimento de habilidades aos usuários atendidos em instituições de saúde mental no exercício da cidadania. A partir da reflexão sobre a prática clínica realizada em um centro de referência em saúde mental é proposto uma relação entre os potenciais terapêuticos - em saúde mental - demonstrados a partir de um relato de experiência alinhados aos modelos de Musicoterapia Social/Comunitária e Plurimodal. Vestígios emergentes das sessões descritas que ocorreram entre 2018 a 2020 foram estabelecidos para uma leitura ampla dos processos clínicos desenvolvidos no setting musicoterapêutico num contexto antimanicomial.
Snowpack nitrate photolysis drives the summertime atmospheric nitrous acid (HONO) budget in coastal Antarctica
Authors: Bond Amelia M. H. , Frey Markus M. , Kaiser Jan , Kleffmann Jörg , Jones Anna E. , Squires Freya A.
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Measurements of atmospheric nitrous acid (HONO) amount fraction and flux density above snow were carried out using a long path absorption photometer at Halley station in coastal Antarctica between 22 January and 3 February 2022. The mean±1σ HONO amount fraction was (2.1 ± 1.5) pmol mol−1 and showed a diurnal cycle (range 1.0−3.2 pmol mol−1) with a maximum at solar noon. These HONO amount fractions are generally lower than have been observed at other Antarctic locations. The flux density of HONO from the snow, measured between 31 January and 1 February 2022, was between 0.5 and 3.4 ×1012 m−2 s−1, and showed a decrease during the night. The measured flux density is at the upper limit of the calculated HONO production rate from photolysis of nitrate present in the snow. A simple box model of HONO sources and sinks showed that the flux of HONO from the snow makes a > 10 times larger contribution to the HONO budget than its formation through the reaction of OH and NO. Ratios of these HONO amount fractions to NOx measurements made in summer 2005 are low (0.15−0.35), which we take as an indication of our measurements being comparatively free from interferences. Further calculations suggest that HONO photolysis could produce up to 12 pmol mol−1 h−1 of OH, approximately half that produced by ozone photolysis, which highlights the importance of HONO snow emissions as an OH source in the atmospheric boundary layer above Antarctic snowpacks.

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Decadal climate predictions, obtained by constraining the initial condition of a dynamical model through a truthful estimate of the observed climate state, provide an accurate assessment of near-term climate change and are a useful tool to inform decision-makers on future climate-related risks. Here we present results from the CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) Decadal Climate Prediction Project (DCPP) decadal hindcasts produced with the operational CMCC (Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change) decadal prediction system (DPS), based on the fully coupled CMCC-CM2-SR5 dynamical model. A 20-member suite of 10-year retrospective forecasts, initialized every year from 1960 to 2020, is performed using a full-field initialization strategy. The predictive skill for key variables is assessed and compared with the
skill of an ensemble of non-initialized historical simulations so as to
quantify the added value of the initialization. In particular, the CMCC DPS is able to skillfully reproduce past climate surface and subsurface temperature fluctuations over large parts of the globe. The North Atlantic Ocean is the region that benefits the most from initialization, with the largest skill enhancement occurring over the subpolar region compared to historical simulations. On the other hand, the predictive skill over the Pacific Ocean rapidly decays with forecast time, especially over the North Pacific. In terms of precipitation, the skill of the CMCC DPS is significantly higher than that of the historical simulations over a few specific regions, including the Sahel, northern Eurasia, and over western and central Europe. The Atlantic multidecadal variability is also skillfully predicted, and this likely contributes to the skill found over remote areas through downstream influence, circulation changes, and teleconnections. Considering the relatively small ensemble size, a remarkable prediction skill is also found for the North Atlantic Oscillation, with maximum correlations obtained in the 1–9 lead year range. Systematic errors also affect the forecast quality of the CMCC DPS,
featuring a prominent cold bias over the Northern Hemisphere, which is not
found in the historical runs, suggesting that, in some areas, the adopted
full-field initialization strategy likely perturbs the equilibrium state of
the model climate quite significantly. The encouraging results obtained in this study indicate that climate
variability over land can be predictable over a multiyear range, and
they demonstrate that the CMCC DPS is a valuable addition to the current
generation of DPSs. This stresses the need to further explore the potential
of the near-term predictions, further improving future decadal systems and
initialization methods, with the aim to provide a reliable tool to inform decision-makers on how regional climate will evolve in the next decade.
LandInG 1.0: A toolbox to derive input datasets for terrestrial ecosystem modelling at variable resolutions from heterogeneous sources
Authors: Ostberg Sebastian , Müller Christoph , Heinke Jens , Schaphoff Sibyll
Published: January 2023

Abstract. We present the Land Input Generator (LandInG) version 1.0, a new toolbox for generating input datasets for terrestrial ecosystem models (TEM) from diverse and partially conflicting data sources. While LandInG 1.0 is applicable to process data for any TEM, it is developed specifically for the open-source dynamic global vegetation, hydrology and crop growth model LPJmL (Lund-Potsdam-Jena with managed Land). The toolbox documents the sources and processing of data to model inputs and allows for easy changes to the spatial resolution. It is designed to make inconsistencies between different sources of data transparent, so that users can make their own decisions on how to resolve these, should they not be content with the default assumptions made here. As an example, we use the toolbox to create input datasets at 5 and 30 arc minutes spatial resolution covering land, country, and region masks, soil, river networks, freshwater reservoirs, irrigation water distribution networks, crop-specific annual land use, fertilizer, and manure application. We focus on the toolbox describing the data processing rather than only publishing the datasets as users may want to make different choices for reconciling inconsistencies, aggregation, spatial extent or similar. Also, new data sources or new versions of existing data become available continuously and the toolbox approach allows for incorporating new data to stay up-to-date.
Research on obstacle performance and tipping stability of a novel wheel–leg deformation mechanism
Authors: Zhang Minghui , Su Yiming
Published: January 2023

Abstract. A new type of wheel–leg deformation mechanism, based on an
electromagnetic clutch and gear rack transmission mechanism, is designed.
This mechanism has a compact structure and simple operation, which can roll on wheels and surmount obstacles with a support leg. Firstly, the walking model is established to study the kinematics characteristics of the mechanism. The
alternation of the support legs does not affect smooth obstacle crossing,
but will cause the step change of the angular velocity of the centroid of
the main body. Secondly, the obstacle-surmounting performance of roll-over
mode and obstacle-crossing mode using support legs is analyzed. For roll-over mode, the maximum climbing height is 87.36 mm. For obstacle-crossing
mode using support legs, the maximum climbing height is the maximum
extension length of the support leg. According to the climbing height, the
switching criteria of different climbing modes are obtained. In addition,
the rolling angle of the main body has a greater impact on the support force and driving torque, while the contact angle between the legs and the ground has a small impact. Finally, the tipping stability and anti-interference ability of the wheel–leg deformation mechanism is evaluated using the stability cone method.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: The aim of current study was to assess the glenoid fossa morphology among different vertical skeletal patterns using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Materials and Methods: The CBCT images of 63 patients with Class I sagittal skeletal pattern were classified into three groups based on posterior facial height (PFH)/ Anterior facial height (AFH) ratio. Each group divided in to normal, horizontal and vertical growth pattern groups. Depth, width and inclination of glenoid fossa were measured and assessed on CBCT images. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey post-hoc test were used to compare mean values of measured variables among the groups.Results: The width (28.76±0.79) and depth (14.61±0.514) of glenoid fossa were lower in horizontal in comparison to vertical and normal growth patterns (p-value<0.05). Although steepness of glenoid fossa was higher in normal growth pattern (123.8±16.68), no statistically significant differences were seen (p-value: 0.819).Conclusion: The width and depth of glenoid fossa were significantly lower in horizontal growth pattern.
Acknowledging colonialism in the room: Barriers to culturally safe care for Indigenous Peoples
Authors: Wilkinson Ashley , Schiff Rebecca , Kidd Jacquie , Møller Helle
Published: January 2023

Indigenous peoples worldwide continue to face health inequities compared to non-Indigenous populations. Frameworks like cultural safety can be used to mitigate these inequities; however, this is not widely implemented in healthcare settings. Thus, additional research into barriers to providing culturally safe care are critical. To address this need, we examined the existing barriers to culturally safe care for Indigenous peoples in Canada, and Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand, through the perspectives of key informants. Major issues identified by key informants included systemic racism, lack of organisational accountability and/or buy-in, ineffective health-provider education, funding, health system structure, undervaluing Indigenous knowledge, negative framing, terminology, and changes to the concept of cultural safety over time. When examined closely, systemic racism and ongoing settler colonialism are the key driving forces underpinning many of the barriers identified. Findings from this research point to barriers at every level and require a system-wide, intersectoral approach in order to provide culturally safe care for Indigenous peoples and advance Indigenous health equity.

Por conseguinte, vislumbra-se também as ideas que os professores apresentam sobre a capacidade e o esforço para o rendimento dos alunos, já que nem sempre que o educando tira uma boa nota, isso não quer dizer que ele é um bom aprendiz e que o seu aproveitamento depende de suas capacidades e esforços cabalmente empregues. O referido livro, é muito importante, devido a sua novidade, originalidade, objectividade, pertinência para a Psicologia Social, Psicologia da Educação, Psicologia Escolar, entre outras, assim como também para a sociedade angolana e não só. Ainda assim, o mesmo, desperta um grande interesse, visto que os alunos, dão muito valor as suas capacidades e esforços, apelando aos outros educandos que é possível que as aprendizagens sejam bem adquiridas por eles mesmos, desde que haja motivação para tal. Todavia, este estudo, indica melhorias para o sistema educativo em Angola de uma maneira geral, e em particular para que os professores melhorem o seu papel na transmissão dos conhecimentos aos alunos e a avaliem bem aos mesmos, de forma mais humanizante.

A glutén, vagy sikér fehérjék táplálkozás-élettani szerepe és megítélése az utóbbi évtizedekben kettőssé vált. A glutén fehérjék egyrészt központi szerepet töltenek be a búza és más gabonák sütőipari minőségének kialakításában. Másrészt azonban egyre inkább előtérbe kerülnek olyan túlérzékenységi reakciók, melyeket szintén a glutén fehérjék váltanak ki az arra érzékeny populációban. A glutén által okozott rendellenességek közül 1% körüli globális előfordulásával az egyik legjelentősebb a lisztérzékenység, vagy más néven cöliákia, mely a vékonybél bolyhainak sorvadásával járó autoimmun betegség. A tünetek széles skáláját okozhatja, jelenleg egyetlen ismert kezelési módja az élethosszig tartó gluténmentes diéta. A diéta betartásának elősegítésére a jelenleg érvényes EU szabályozás 20 mg/kg-ban maximalizálja a gluténmentesként értékesíthető termékek gluténtartalmát. Ez pedig szükségessé teszi a glutén mennyiségének minél pontosabb meghatározását ebben az alacsony koncentráció-tartományban. A meghatározás rutinmódszere az immunanalitikai elven működő ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). A különböző ELISA módszerek validálása és eredményeik összehasonlíthatósága, vagyis az általuk szolgáltatott adatok megbízhatósága azonban problémát jelent. Cikkünk fő célkitűzése az ennek hátterében álló analitikai és fehérjekémiai kérdések, valamint a módszertan feltételrendszerének javítását célzó törekvések bemutatása. Emellett kitérünk a zab gluténmentes diétában betöltött különleges szerepére is, így kísérelve meg minél szélesebb körben rálátást nyújtani a glutén által képviselt élelmiszerbiztonsági és analitikai kihívásokra.
”Like stars are moving in the sky” – life of an infrared photographic studio

Today, users can choose from many options according to their goals when they turn to the toolbox of vibrational spectroscopy when answering their questions. This diversity is reflected in the structure, sample handling, and measurement technology of the devices. It is enough to think of handheld devices that enable on-site measurements in incoming raw material warehouses, or bench-top devices for quality control laboratories, or in-/on-line devices for production technologies. In addition, chemical imaging (CI) techniques have also gained ground. Mathematical, statistical, and chemometric methods are breathing life into the army of infrared spectra provided by the hardware, which are capable of extracting the information inherent in large data sets (big data). In the article, the development and embedding of infrared techniques from academic research to agricultural and industrial applications can be traced by highlighting examples of the last 25 years – but not only through spectroscopic tools, but also through people.

Ma már a felhasználók céljaiknak megfelelően számos lehetőség közül választhatnak, ha a rezgési spektroszkópia eszköztárához fordulnak kérdéseik megválaszolása során. Ez a sokféleség megmutatkozik a készülékek felépítésében, mintakezelésében, méréstechnikájában. Elég, ha a bejövő nyersanyag raktárakban helyszíni méréseket lehetővé tevő, kézben hordozható (ún. handheld), vagy a minőséget ellenőrző laborok asztali (ún. bench-top), vagy a gyártási technológiák in-/on-line műszereire gondolunk. Emellett a kémiai képalkotó (chemical imaging, CI) technikák is teret nyertek. A hardverek szolgáltatta infravörös spektrumok seregébe olyan matematikai, statisztikai, kemometriai módszerek lehelnek életet, amelyek a nagy adathalmazokban (big data) rejlő információk kinyerésére képesek. A cikkben az elmúlt 25 év egy-egy példáját felvillantva nyomon követhető az infravörös technikák fejlődése, beágyazottsága az akadémiai kutatásoktól a mezőgazdasági, ipari alkalmazásokig – de nem csak a gépeken, hanem az embereken is keresztül.
Cell death in plant protection: improving the security of food supply by the means of molecular biology
Authors: Hajdinák Péter , Szarka András
Published: January 2023

An important topic in agriculture is the protection of plants against biotic stresses caused by pathogens and abiotic stresses caused by environmental factors. Traditionally, chemical pesticides are used to protect against pathogens, but they can be harmful to the environment and to our health. Thus, there is a strong need to replace them with environmentally friendly substances. Promising biopesticides could be the elicitor harpin proteins studied by our research group. These proteins induce immune responses in plants without an actual pathogen infection, thus increasing their resistance against them. Other beneficial effects of harpins have also been described, such as more intensive growth or higher yields. The mechanisms of action of these proteins are not yet fully elucidated. However, a better understanding could help develop more effective biopesticides. As the average temperature of the Earth rises, ferroptosis-like cell death induced by heat stress may also play an increasingly important role. Although this form of cell death was first described in 2017, its exact molecular mechanism is still unknown. Our results reviewed here suggest that reactive carbonyl species, including acrolein, may play a mediator role in it. Based on the literature, ferroptosis-like cell death is also involved in the hypersensitive response due to pathogen attack, so a better understanding of the cell death process may help protect plants against biotic and abiotic stresses.

Published: January 2023

The food industry in Hungary has come a long way from the 1800s to the present day and is still facing many challenges. It is a highly heterogeneous sector with a large number of employees, whose uniqueness and specificities have a significant impact on its present and potential. Its development potential lies in increasing added value, moving towards quality products, and positioning itself on domestic and export markets. The pace of development is determined by strategies, subsidies, the regulatory environment, R&D&I opportunities, consumer needs and related education, the availability and variability of raw materials, strict food safety requirements, etc. In this article, we present the past, present and development trends of the food industry based on the lecture 100+10 years of food science at the 240th anniversary of the Budapest University of Technology on 19 November 2021.
mito folclórico brasileiro na era digital: diálogos entre cultura popular, cultura de massa e hibridização cultural
Authors: Silva Adriele , Bomfim Ivan
Published: January 2023

O presente artigo objetiva refletir sobre a representação do mito folclórico brasileiro na era digital. Para tanto, resgatamos os conceitos discutidos pela Teoria da Folkcomunicação a partir de Beltrão (1980) e Folkmídia, com Luyten (2002), a fim de observá-los através das ressignificações assumidas pela personagem Cuca nas redes sociais. Ao final da pesquisa, conclui-se que o folclore é mutável e está, irrevogavelmente, condicionado aos avanços tecnológicos, o que significa que os novos significados atribuídos à personagem folclórica auxiliam no processo de perpetuação da cultura popular e contribuem para que ela ultrapasse as barreiras geográficas e temporais.
Księża warmiacy w archidiecezji gnieźniejskiej w XVIII wieku (do 1763r.)
Authors: Zabraniak Sławomir
Published: January 2023

W okresie przedrozbiorowym dość częste były przypadki migracji kandydatów do kapłaństwa poza granice rodzimej diecezji. Specyficzną grupę z nich stanowili duchowni pochodzący z terenów dawnej diecezji warmińskiej. Pracowali oni w wielu diecezjach Rzeczypospolitej i wstępowali do zakonów. Część z nich podejmowała pracę duszpasterską i formacyjną w seminariach na terenie dawnej archidiecezji gnieźnieńskiej. Warmiacy byli tam chętnie widziani, gdyż znali język niemiecki, pomocny zwłaszcza w pracy duszpasterskiej wśród mniejszości niemieckojęzycznej napływającej licznie zza zachodniej granicy Rzeczypospolitej. Informacje o nich zawierają akta seminaryjne, wizytacyjne i księgi czynności biskupich.

Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the everyday life of human beings. This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on six socio-economic dimensions (i.e., food availability, food quality, education, finance, non-payment of utility bills, and sale of assets/goods) in Punjab, Pakistan. Three districts were selected from Punjab province based on two criteria such as (a) geographical variability and (b) intensity of COVID-19. Thus, a total of 1200 respondents were interviewed via convenience sampling from selected Punjab districts (i.e., Faisalabad, Muzaffargarh, and Chakwal). Descriptive statistics showed that most respondents face the adverse socio-economic effects of COVID-19. However, the percentage of strongly agree/ agree was comparatively more for low-educated respondents, while it was comparatively less for high-educated respondents. The percentage of strongly agree/agree comparatively more for low-income respondents, while it was comparatively less for high-income respondents. The percentage of strongly agree/agree comparatively more for private job holders while it was comparatively less for public job holders. The percentage of strongly agree/agree comparatively more for urban households, while it was comparatively less for rural households. The percentage of strongly agree/agree comparatively more in Chakwal while it was comparatively less in Faisalabad. The chi-square () independence test showed a significant role of education, family income, job type, and area of residence on the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19. Therefore, it is recommended to increase educational opportunities and educational standards. Developing a Learning Management System is also suggested to continue education in emergencies. It is recommended to increase the family income through an increase in investment and employment opportunities. The protection of private-sector employees is necessary during the pandemic situation. The government should provide interest-free loans to businesses during an emergency. The government should ensure the vaccination of citizens to control the spread and intensity of the disease. Training of doctors and paramedical staff is necessary to perform duties during the pandemic.
