Analysis of circadian rhythm synchronization under the influence of pain
Authors: Cezaro Adriano De , Cezaro Fabiana Travessini De , Glaeser Stefânia da Silveira
Published: November 2024

The synchronization of biological rhythms is of fundamental importance for health. The influence of pain on the functioning of vital functions and its effects on the synchronization of biological rhythms in human beings have been explored clinically for a long time. On the other hand, the modeling of this phenomenon can add features that are still unexplored. This bias fits the present contribution: to analyze the existence of synchronization of the circadian rhythm under the influence of external factors such as pain. To that end, we propose and investigate a model of coupled and phase oscillators that describes the sleep-wake, body temperature, and pain rhythms. The simplicity of the modeling allows one to obtain the synchronized solutions analytically as well as derive restrictions in terms of the parameters that guarantee their synchronization. The results obtained by analyzing the proposed model are accompanied by numerical simulations.

Published: November 2024

The specie Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil., known as yerba mate, is propagated by seeds that have morphophysiological dormancy. This study aimed to answer the following questions: (1) What are the changes that occur in the Ilex paraguariensis embryos during moist stratification? and (2) May the incorporation of chemical fertilizers in moist stratification medium promote an increase in the germination percentage in yerba mate seeds? For this purpose, yerba mate seeds were subjected to two stratification treatments: between two layers of moist sand and between two layers of moist sand with mineral fertilizer plus a control, for 180 days. At intervals of 30 days, seeds were removed for structural anatomical analysis and, at 150 and 180 days, also for germination tests at 25 °C, which were monitored for 180 days. The treatment with the highest germination percentage during stratification (15.4%) and in the germination tests (15.2 and 20.1%) was the one with mineral fertilizer incorporated in the moist stratification medium. Only in this treatment the embryos in more advanced stages of development (torpedo and mature). It is concluded that embryo development and germination were favored by moist stratification medium with the addition of chemical fertilizers.

Vitamin C (Vit C) entails beneficial effects on the human body and has also been used as a natural preservative in foods. However, there are no technological prospecting studies aimed to produce Vit C concentrates from Malpighia emarginata (acerola), as well as antioxidant and antimicrobial evaluations of these products. In this context, this study aimed to produce Vit C concentrates using acerola as a matrix and evaluate the activities of antioxidant and antimicrobial of these preparations. The Vit C concentration and the phytochemical analysis were performed through chromatographic (HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (ESI-IT-MSn). The antimicrobial activity was evaluated through microdilution and diffusion in a solid medium. Chemical analyses revealed the presence of six compounds, including Vit C and anthocyanins, considered markers for this species. The Vit C content was greater for drying by lyophilization in comparison to a spray drying (16.30 and 10.74%, respectively). In the test of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), the lyophilized also showed better activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus when compared to the spray drying (0.0078 and 0.0312 g/mL, respectively). In the solid medium, both concentrates were active. The concentrates also showed antioxidant effects by the DPPH method. The results of this study provide convincing evidence that lyophilized M. emarginata presents a greater concentration of Vit C and has promising antioxidant and antimicrobial effects.
Marvel’s DAREDEVIL (USA 2003)
Authors: Beimdieke Sara
Published: November 2024

Hören stellt das audiovisuelle Medium Film vor eine Herausforderung, müssen hier doch innerlich ablaufende kognitive Prozesse visuell verdeutlicht werden. Bei Marvel’s Daredevil (USA 2003, Mark Steven Johnson) steht ein Protagonist im Zentrum, dessen besondere Gabe unter anderem ein überaus geschärfter Hörsinn ist. Der folgende Beitrag zeichnet an diesem Beispiel die filmische Vermittlung von Hören und den damit verbundenen Prozessen und Phänomenen nach. Es wird aufgezeigt, welches spezifische Wissen über Klang und Hören auf diese Weise produziert wird, inwiefern auditive und visuelle Formen der Vermittlung eingesetzt werden, um die Hörperspektive des Protagonisten nachvollziehbar zu machen, und welche Strategie mit ihrem Einsatz verfolgt wird: das Publikum vom aktiven zum passiven Hören zu führen.
Hearing poses a challenge for film, as cognitive processes that take place internally have to be visualized. Marvel's Daredevil (USA 2003, Mark Steven Johnson) centers on a protagonist whose special gift is, among other things, an extremely heightened sense of hearing. The following article uses this example to trace the cinematic mediation of hearing and the associated processes and phenomena. It shows what specific knowledge about sound and hearing is produced in this way, to what extent auditory and visual forms of mediation are used to make the protagonist's auditory perspective comprehensible, and what strategy is pursued with their use: to lead the audience from active to passive listening.
Mord und Totschlag
Authors: Hardt Susanne
Published: November 2024

Während einerseits immer mehr Studien zeigen, wie vielfältig und intensiv der Einfluss verschiedener Musik auf die Filmwahrnehmung ist, ist andererseits eine zunehmend stereotype Gestaltung von Filmen unterschiedlicher Genres in Bezug auf ihre dramaturgische, visuelle und akustische Gestaltung zu beobachten. Speziell in Filmen der Genres Horror und Thriller ist die Ermordung verschiedener Filmcharaktere ein erwartbares Handlungselement. Anhand der exemplarischen Analyse einzelner Szenen aus aktuellen Horror- und Thrillerfilmen wird die Hypothese einer filmübergreifend genutzten Musikgestaltung zur Unterstützung einer unterschiedlichen Bewertung verschiedener Tötungsszenen erörtert. Neben der Darstellung möglicher Hintergründe, die zur Entstehung eines derart spezifischen Phänomens der Wirkungsweise von Filmmusik beigetragen haben könnten, wird die Frage thematisiert, inwieweit eine entsprechende musikalische Gestaltung von Tötungsszenen kritisch zu betrachten ist – einerseits in Hinblick auf die Ausprägung von Hör- und Sehgewohnheiten und andererseits in Bezug auf eine gezielte Manipulation des Moralempfindens des Filmpublikums.
While, on the one hand, more and more studies are showing how diverse and intense the influence of different music is on film perception, on the other hand, an increasingly stereotypical design of films of different genres can be observed in terms of their dramaturgical, visual, and acoustic design. Especially in films of the horror and thriller genres, the murder of various film characters is an expected plot element. Based on the analysis of individual scenes from current horror and thriller films, the hypothesis of a music design used across films to support a different evaluation of different killing scenes is discussed. In addition to the presentation of possible backgrounds that could have contributed to the emergence of such a specific phenomenon of the effect of film music, the question is addressed as to what extent a corresponding musical design of killing scenes should be viewed critically – on the one hand with regard to the formation of listening and viewing habits and on the other hand with regard to a targeted manipulation of the film audience's sense of morality.

Authors: Sarango Ortega Yessenia Beatriz , Chenche López Oscar Mauricio
Published: November 2024

Los bioestimulantes ayudan a mitigar los efectos negativos del estrés abiótico, facilitando la absorción de nutrientes por las plantas. Este estudio evaluó el efecto de dos bioestimulantes aplicados de forma foliar al 10%: extracto de Aloe vera y macroalgas, en el desarrollo de Raphanus sativus sometido a estrés abiótico. Se germinaron 100 semillas de rábano rojo crimson giant y se trasplantaron en un diseño experimental con cuatro tratamientos y cinco réplicas. El T1, T2, y T3 fueron sometidos a estrés abiótico, mientras que el T0 sirvió de control. El extracto de Aloe vera aplicado al T2 fue l mesófilo de la sábila mediante extracción con etanol y posterior liofilización. El bioestimulante comercial VustereQ, a base de macroalgas, fue aplicado al T3. Los resultados mostraron que tanto T2 como T3 presentaron un crecimiento similar en variables como la longitud de la planta, el diámetro del bulbo y el peso seco. Sin embargo, el T3 fue el más efectivo en el desarrollo radicular, mientras que el T2 favoreció el desarrollo foliar. Se concluye que el bioestimulante de Aloe vera es el más eficaz para estimular el crecimiento bajo condiciones de estrés hídrico, salino y térmico.
Federated Learning for Telecom Fraud Detection: A Privacy-Preserving Approach to Overcoming Data Fragmentation and Enhancing Security
Authors: Hasan Kumrul , Hosen Md Nazmul , Saha Kinjol
Published: November 2024

Over the last couple of years, the world has seen numerous frauds about telecom: fraud calls, phishing, and misutilization of personal numbers, among others. However, traditional methods of fraud detection cannot fit the shifting intricacy of these fraud schemes since they depend on data collection in a centralized way. While the arrival of deep learning improves the detection capability, it engenders considerable privacy risks and issues of data fragmentation. As one might guess, this work investigates federated learning as a decentralized solution to these limitations. The FL allows various organizations to train fraud detection models collaboratively while preserving data privacy via sharing only model updates, not raw data. This paper proposes a federated learning-based system for phone number fraud detection and defends personal data against various industries. We will discuss in more detail the advantages of federated learning in solving the "data island" problem and reducing the risk of privacy breaches in a distributed environment. The paper also looks at the use of horizontal and vertical federated learning in co-governance both within and across industries. Finally, we discuss the limitation of FL from a practical perspective by including problems arising from non-IID data and heterogeneity in systems and scalability. We also identify further works to be pursued in optimizing the performance of FL fraud detection with privacy preservation.
