Building Resilient Micro-Small Enterprises: A Case Study of MSEs In The Midst of The Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Manurung Iwan Donal Paska , Widodo Eko
Published: October 2022

The pandemic has affected various sectors of life. The pandemic has attracted the attention of many parties to assess the impacts that arise outside of health impacts, one of which is the impact on micro and small enterprises (MSEs). The central role of MSEs in the national economy is the primary driver of research on how MSEs build resilience in times of crisis. This study focuses on the strength of MSEs during the Covid-19 pandemic. MSEs are the mainstay of the national economy. Therefore, various aids for the recovery of MSEs have become the focus of national economic recovery throughout the world, including Indonesia. This study uses quantitative and qualitative methods on MSEs that are still able to maintain their continuity to this day. This research focused on revealing several characteristics of MSEs’ resilience according to the number of workers, income trends, and the extent to which individual resilience affects organizational resilience. The analysis also revealed a process-based model of how MSEs builds resilience during this ongoing crisis.
Biblical references in catecheses about the Holy Mass by Cyril of Jerusalem
Authors: Widok Norbert
Published: October 2022

Cyril of Jerusalem is one of the very important witnesses of faith in the East in the fourth century. He is the author of the Catecheses, which contain the content of the catechumenal and mystagogical teaching in Jerusalem. They are an excellent example of how to transmit Christian doctrine to candidates for Christianity and confirm it in the newly baptized. However, the basic method used by Cyril to convey his message is the use of biblical texts. The present study will show the motivation for using biblical references in two mystagogical catecheses on the Eucharist, i.e. Catechesis 22 and Catechesis 23. Their author emphasizes the formation of deep faith and Christian formation of the spirit in the audience. The analysis of the content of these catecheses also shows the principle of the catechist invoking biblical texts based on the active or passive involvement of participants in the liturgical rite. Secondary reasons for the use of quotations or paraphrases from the holy books of the Bible are also highlighted.

Published: October 2022

Remotely piloted aircrafts (RPAs) are becoming well-known for monitoring forest restoration (FR). Canopy cover percentage on a restoration site is a major indicator for the early phases of FR. We present a protocol to evaluate canopy cover using low-cost RPA and a friendly computational environment. We tested the protocol in six FR projects in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. After processing the images automatically to generate the digital surface model and the digital terrain model, the canopy cover is measured in QGIS by considering height thresholds in the canopy height model. The results hadF1 values higher than 0.9, which confirms a robust methodology that does not require specific computer science or remote sensing skills. Thus, low-cost RPA proved to be accurate and user-friendly in measuring the canopy cover, which improves monitoring during most FR stages. Such finding plays an important role in FR policies and future works must study a user-friendly protocol for measuring tree height via low-cost drones.
What does the processing of chunks by learners of Chinese tell us? An acceptability judgment investigation
Authors: Lu Xiaolong , Wang Jue
Published: October 2022

Chunks are multi-word sequences that constitute an important component of the mental lexicon. In second language (L2) acquisition, chunking is essential for attaining fluency and idiomaticity. In the present study, in order to examine whether chunks provide a processing advantage over non-chunks for L2 learners at different levels of proficiency, three groups (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) English-speaking learners of Chinese participated in an online acceptability judgment task and a familiarity rating task. Our results revealed that the participants in all three groups processed chunks faster and with fewer errors than they did non-chunks. It was also found that the observed processing advantage of chunks could not be explained by a familiarity effect alone, thus suggesting that L2 learners across the board store chunks as holistic units. The implications of chunk instruction in relation to input frequency and variability in L2 settings are also discussed.
Visitor restriction during the COVID-19 pandemic did not impact rates of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in the NICU patients
Authors: Evans Hailey Zie , Bailey Sean , Verma Sourabh , Cicalese Erin
Published: October 2022

Objectives

In our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), patients are screened for colonization with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and decolonized if positive. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our NICU significantly limited its visitor policy. We assessed for a difference between S. aureus colonization rates before and after the visitor policy change, which coincided with the exponential rise of COVID-19 cases in New York City (NYC).

Methods

We calculated rates of newly S. aureus colonized NICU patients during January to June 2020 and compared rates pre- and post-implementation of the new visitor policy. Additionally, we obtained the weekly incidence of COVID-19 in NYC and assessed for a correlation between COVID-19 rates and S. aureus colonization.

Results

The number of newly colonized patients per thousand patient days was 4.65 pre- and 3.95 post-implementation of the new visitor policy. The difference was not statistically significant (p=0.66). Furthermore, there was no correlation between the incidence of COVID-19 in NYC and the rates of S. aureus colonization in our NICU (R2=0.02).

Conclusions

Our results suggest that limiting visitation of patients is not associated with a decrease in S. aureus colonization rate. Hospital unit leaders may need to focus on other strategies in order to reduce colonization.

Authors: Zhai Mengyi , Zhao Jihui , Wang Dongmin , Gao Xuan , Wang Qibao , Li Zhangheng , Zhang Ming
Published: October 2022

Ion erosion and carbonization in concrete are the key factors leading to the deterioration of durability. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a kind of functional material with layered structures and ion exchange properties, which can capture a variety of harmful anions in concrete pore solutions. Therefore, LDHs exhibit great potential in improving the durability of concrete as new modified material. This article reviews the recent progress of LDHs. Based on the structural characteristics of LDHs, this work discusses the binding effect of LDHs on Cl−,SO42−{\text{SO}}_{4}^{2-}, andCO32−{\text{CO}}_{3}^{2-}in cement-based materials. We also analyze the influence of LDHs on the physical, mechanical, and hydration properties of cement-based materials and describe the modification mechanisms. Further, the improved durability of concrete and the corrosion inhibition of reinforcement by LDHs were summarized. Finally, we briefly point out some problems in the current research and development trends in the future on LDHs modified cement-based materials.
Modi der (Nicht-)Verhandlungen
Authors: Dietrich Fabian , Kuhlmann Nele , Spitznagel Junis
Published: October 2022

Im Mittelpunkt des Beitrages steht die Rekonstruktion berufskultureller Umgangsweisen mit den die schulischen Handlungslogiken infrage stellenden coronabedingten Schulschließungen. Berufskultur wird dabei als ein Modus Operandi gefasst, der sich im Zusammenspiel von lehrer*innenseitigen Selbst- und außerschulischen Fremdpositionierungen ausformt und als dieser berufsinterne Deutungs- und Handlungsweisen strukturiert. Zwei aufeinander bezogene Rekonstruktionen einer lehrerseitigen und einer ministeriellen Positionierung lassen eine komplementäre Figur einer vollständigen Delegation bzw. Inanspruchnahme von Verantwortung und Zuständigkeit erkennen. Die sich gegenseitig stützenden Positionierungen erscheinen in sich brüchig und verfehlen in ihrer Einseitigkeit die Strukturiertheit der beruflichen Handlungspraxis von Lehrer*innen. Damit verbunden werden Modi der Fremd- und Selbstpositionierungen herausgearbeitet, die Rückschlüsse auf berufskulturelle Formen der Stabilisierung derartiger Deutungen zulassen.
Die Schule in der Familie
Authors: Labede Julia
Published: October 2022

Durch die andauernden Schulschließungen standen Familien in der Pandemie vor der Herausforderung, schulische Lern- und Arbeitsprozesse zeitlich und räumlich aufzufangen und in die Organisation des familiären Alltags zu integrieren. Erste Ergebnisse einer explorativen Studie zeigen, wie sich Eltern aus ‚mittleren‘ sozialen Lagen in Relation zur Institution Schule und zu den schulischen Vertreter:innen positionieren. Gestützt auf eine familientheoretische Perspektive, die Familie und Schule als funktional ausdifferenzierte Sozialisationsinstanzen ausweist, wird das Spannungsfeld zwischen einer selbstverständlichen Verantwortungsübernahme und einer notwendig erscheinenden Widerständigkeit der Familie gegenüber schulischen Erwartungen und Anforderungen diskutiert. Heuristisch geschärft werden die Rekonstruktionsergebnisse zu zwei Interviews von Eltern mit ihren Kindern im Rekurs auf die von Oevermann grundgelegte, professionalisierungstheoretische Figur des pädagogischen Arbeitsbündnisses.
Teilnehmen am Online-Unterricht
Authors: Bossen Andrea
Published: October 2022

Im Zuge der Covid-19-Pandemie sind Lehrpersonen herausgefordert, Unterricht in den privaten Lebenswelten von Kindern zu organisieren. Online-Unterricht bietet die Möglichkeit, Schüler:innen mit entsprechender digitaler Ausstattung und Lehrperson als Unterrichtsgemeinschaft synchron zu versammeln. Dabei sind die basalen unterrichtlichen Praktiken (z.B. Melden, Anwesenheit prüfen, Redepflichten auferlegen, Tafelarbeit) nicht ohne Weiteres in die digitale Welt übertragbar. Entfaltet sich hier das Potenzial der Transformation unterrichtlicher Praktiken? Ethnographische Beobachtungen, die im Online-Unterricht dreier Grundschulen protokolliert wurden, zeigen übergreifende Handlungsprobleme, die von den Teilnehmer:innen in unterschiedlicher Weise (nicht) bearbeitet werden und auch wie die Teilnahme am gemeinsamen Unterricht neu verhandelt werden muss. Digitale Aktanten (z.B. Kamera, Mikrophon, Meldebutton) sind dabei entscheidende Teilnehmerinnen an unterrichtlichen Praktiken, die die Formen der Teilnahme am Online-Unterricht konturieren.
Interferenzen in digitalen Praktiken der Bereitstellung von unterrichtlichen Aufgaben

Published: October 2022

In diesem Beitrag werden Praktiken im Zusammenhang mit dem Bereitstellen von unterrichtlichen Aufgaben über eine Schulplattform in einer Lerngruppe einer Gesamtschule während der Covid 19-Pandemie untersucht. Die Aufgaben über die Plattform zu prozessieren, wurde im Distanzlernen während der zeitweiligen Schulschließungen eingeführt und im Präsenzunterricht anschließend beibehalten. An ethnographischem Datenmaterial wird aus einer praxistheoretischen, posthumanistischen Perspektive analysiert, wie mit der Bezugnahme auf und durch das Agieren des Aufgabenmoduls verschiedene Interferenzen und insgesamt ein Interferenzmuster des ‚Sich Kümmerns‘ zu Tage tritt. Dieses Sich-Kümmern, das u.a. das Verfügbarmachen von Aufgaben auch dann aufrecht erhält, wenn sich einzelne unterrichtliche Praktiken in und durch die Pandemie verschieben, interferiert mit Annahmen über eine einfache, glatte Entwicklungs- und Effizienzsteigerung durch zunehmende automatisierte Technologien im Unterricht.
Scham und soziale Re-Positionierung
Authors: Parschick Sarina
Published: October 2022

Schon seit einiger Zeit diskutiert die Soziologie verstärkt die Rolle von Emotionen im Sozialgefüge von Gegenwartsgesellschaften, auch mit Bezug auf Erfahrungen in Kontexten von Berufs- und Sorgearbeit. Dabei geht es u.a. um Schamgefühle. Prominente soziologische Beschreibungen legen nahe, dass diese Erfahrungen – mittels der Übernahme einer (tatsächlichen oder imaginierten) negativen Fremdperspektive – die Akzeptanz einer ‚angestammten‘ sozialen Position, also Konformität, erzeugen. Einige Ansätze setzen zwar andere Akzente, beziehen diese aber selten auf die o.g. Kontexte. Im Rückgriff auf die dokumentarische Auswertung sieben narrativer Interviews zeigt dieser Beitrag anhand von drei exemplarischen Fallanalysen, dass es Muster der Deutung lebensgeschichtlich einschneidender Schamerlebnisse gibt, die auf andere Prozesse verweisen, konkret: die Eingrenzung von Aufstiegsambitionen, das Abdriften und der Wechsel des Bezugssystems. Scham erscheint hier als wichtiger Katalysator emergenter Re-Positionierungen, mit Folgen für Identitätsentwürfe und ein bestehendes Ordnungsgefüge. Es wird diskutiert, ob diese mikrosoziologisch beobachtbaren Re-Positionierungen Einfluss auf die soziale Ordnung haben.

Early Life Pain Experience Changes Adult Functional Pain Connectivity in the Rat Somatosensory and the Medial Prefrontal Cortex
Authors: Chang Pishan , Fabrizi Lorenzo , Fitzgerald Maria
Published: October 2022

Early life pain (ELP) experience alters adult pain behavior and increases injury-induced pain hypersensitivity, but the effect of ELP on adult functional brain connectivity is not known. We have performed continuous local field potential (LFP) recording in the awake adult male rats to test the effect of ELP on functional cortical connectivity related to pain behavior. Primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) LFPs evoked by mechanical hindpaw stimulation were recorded simultaneously with pain reflex behavior for 10 d after adult incision injury. We show that, after adult injury, sensory evoked S1 LFP δ and γ energy and S1 LFP δ/γ frequency coupling are significantly increased in ELP rats compared with controls. Adult injury also induces increases in S1-mPFC functional connectivity, but this is significantly prolonged in ELP rats, lasting 4 d compared with 1 d in controls. Importantly, the increases in LFP energy and connectivity in ELP rats were directly correlated with increased behavioral pain hypersensitivity. Thus, ELP alters adult brain functional connectivity, both within and between cortical areas involved in sensory and affective dimensions of pain. The results reveal altered brain connectivity as a mechanism underlying the effects of ELP on adult pain perception.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPain and stress in early life has a lasting impact on pain behavior and may increase vulnerability to chronic pain in adults. Here, we record pain-related cortical activity and simultaneous pain behavior in awake adult male rats previously exposed to pain in early life. We show that functional connectivity within and between the somatosensory cortex and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is increased in these rats and that these increases are correlated with their behavioral pain hypersensitivity. The results reveal that early life pain (ELP) alters adult brain connectivity, which may explain the impact of childhood pain on adult chronic pain vulnerability.
Visualization of the protein–protein interactions of hormone receptors in hormone-dependent cancer research
Authors: Iwabuchi Erina , Miki Yasuhiro , Suzuki Takashi , Sasano Hironobu
Published: October 2022

In hormone-dependent cancers, the activation of hormone receptors promotes the progression of cancer cells. Many proteins exert their functions through protein–protein interactions (PPIs). Moreover, in such cancers, hormone–hormone receptor binding, receptor dimerization, and cofactor mobilization PPIs occur primarily in hormone receptors, including estrogen, progesterone, glucocorticoid, androgen, and mineralocorticoid receptors. The visualization of hormone signaling has been primarily reported by immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies; however, the visualization of PPIs is expected to improve our understanding of hormone signaling and disease pathogenesis. Visualization techniques for PPIs include Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation analysis; however, these techniques require the insertion of probes in the cells for PPI detection. Proximity ligation assay (PLA) is a method that could be used for both formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue as well as immunostaining. It can also visualize hormone receptor localization and post-translational modifications of hormone receptors. This review summarizes the results of recent studies on visualization techniques for PPIs with hormone receptors; these techniques include FRET and PLA. In addition, super-resolution microscopy has been recently reported to be applicable to their visualization in both FFPE tissues and living cells. Super-resolution microscopy in conjunction with PLA and FRET could also contribute to the visualization of PPIs and subsequently provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis of hormone-dependent cancers in the future.
OXIDATIVE STRESS AND REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION: The protection of mammalian spermatozoa against oxidative stress
Authors: O’Flaherty Cristian , Scarlata Eleonora
Published: October 2022

In brief

This review focuses on the enzymatic antioxidant mechanisms to fight oxidative stress by spermatozoa, highlighting the differences among mammalian species. We discuss recent evidence about players that promote and fight oxidative stress and the need for novel strategies to diagnose and treat cases of male infertility associated with oxidative damage of the spermatozoon.

The spermatozoon is very sensitive to high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels due to its limited antioxidant system. A consortium of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidases (GPXs), peroxiredoxins (PRDXs), thioredoxins, and glutathione-S-transferases, is necessary to produce healthy spermatozoa and to maintain sperm quality to ensure motility, capacitation, and DNA integrity. A delicate balance between ROS production and antioxidant enzymes is needed to ensure ROS-dependent sperm capacitation. GPX4 is an essential component of the mitochondrial sheath in mammalian spermatozoa, and GPX5 is a crucial antioxidant defence in the mouse epididymis to protect the sperm genome during the maturation of the spermatozoon. The mitochondrial superoxide (O2·–) production is controlled by SOD2, and the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated by SOD2 activity and peroxynitrite (ONOO–) are scavenged mainly by PRDXs in human spermatozoa. PRDXs regulate the redox signalling necessary for sperm motility and capacitation, particularly by PRDX6. This enzyme is the first line of defence against oxidative stress to prevent lipid peroxidation and DNA oxidation by scavenging H2O2 and ONOO– through its peroxidase activity and repairing oxidized membranes by its calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activity. The success of antioxidant therapy in treating infertility resides in the proper diagnosis of the presence of oxidative stress and which type of ROS are produced. Thus, more research on the molecular mechanisms affected by oxidative stress, the development of novel diagnostic tools to identify infertile patients with oxidative stress, and randomized controlled trials are of paramount importance to generate personalized antioxidant therapy to restore male fertility.

Oriented strand board: Opportunities and potential products in China
Authors: Jin Juwan , Chen Siguo , Wellwood Robert
Published: October 2022

North America’s first oriented strand board (OSB) mill was built in the early 1980’s. Twenty years later, the industry was thriving, with over 50 mills producing the product. China’s first OSB mill was built in 1990, and 25 years later, there are a few mills with a total capacity less than two large North America mills, most operating below capacity and struggling to identify domestic markets for the growing production. This paper briefly looks at the histories of OSB industries in North America and China, presents the current situation of China’s wood-based panels industry and its downstream industries, and identifies OSB opportunities and potential products in China. Opportunity for sheathing-grade OSB is very limited in the current Chinese market, whereas industrial opportunities for specialty OSB products to replace plywood have great potential. Those specialty products include materials for furniture, wood doors, wood flooring, container flooring, concrete form, etc. OSB producers must designate the right OSB products for the Chinese market and cost-effectively manufacture those differentiated products to meet specifications for various end-applications.

Published: October 2022

The continuous depletion of forests calls for the astute usage of existing resources. Fungi and termites cause serious damage to biomass under storage and service conditions. Various protective treatments with high amounts of toxic chemicals are used by the wood and bamboo industry. Efforts are being made the world over to develop environmentally friendly preservatives for wood and bamboo species. Recent research highlights the potential and effectiveness of traditional practices and procedures, mainly water leaching technique and smoke treatment. Under laboratory conditions, the service life of treated blocks were found to be at a par with commercial chemical preservative treated blocks. Various plant extracts and oil-based formulations, such as organic acids, essential oils, and eco-friendly chemical-based preservatives, are in the stage of development. The bio-efficacy of such preservatives is measured in terms of the improvement in resistance to fungi and termites. However, much work still needs to be done to completely determine the efficacy of many of these newly developed preservatives and techniques. The present paper discusses an overview of the developments in the field of environment-friendly biomass preservatives.

The effect of preliminary irradiation of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (saline) with 1 MeV high-energy electron beams on optical and cytotoxic/cytostatic properties of the dissolved Doxorubicin cancer drug is studied. With the use of Lewis lung carcinoma cell culture, it has been shown that the said treatment results in an increased cytotoxic/cytostatic action of the Doxorubicin, being the most pronounced in the range of low concentrations of the drug. The delivered dose of ionizing radiation on the saline ranged from 4 to 80 kGy. The maximum changes in the IR absorption spectra of Doxorubicin have been observed for the solutions irradiated with 10 kGy. The possible causes of the observed effects are discussed.

The Association Between Routine Car Seat Screening and Subsequent Health Care Utilization
Authors: Harrison Wade N. , Ritter Victor S. , Flower Kori B. , Seashore Carl J. , McLaurin-Jiang Skyler
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends preterm newborns undergo car seat tolerance screening (CSTS) before discharge despite limited evidence supporting the practice. We examined subsequent health care utilization in screened and unscreened late preterm and low birth weight newborns.

METHODS

This observational study included late preterm (34–36 weeks) and term low birth weight (<2268 g) newborns born between 2014 and 2018 at 4 hospitals with policies recommending CSTS for these infants. Birth hospitalization length of stay (LOS) in addition to 30-day hospital revisits and brief resolving unexplained events were examined. Unadjusted and adjusted rates were compared among 3 groups: not screened, pass, and fail.

RESULTS

Of 5222 newborns, 3163 (61%) were discharged from the nursery and 2059 (39%) from the NICU or floor. Screening adherence was 91%, and 379 of 4728 (8%) screened newborns failed the initial screen. Compared with unscreened newborns, adjusted LOS was similar for newborns who passed the CSTS (+5.1 hours; -2.2–12.3) but significantly longer for those who failed (+16.1; 5.6–26.7). This differed by screening location: nursery = +12.6 (9.1–16.2) versus NICU/floor = +71.2 (28.3–114.1) hours. Hospital revisits did not significantly differ by group: not screened = 7.3% (reference), pass = 5.2% (aOR 0.79; 0.44–1.42), fail = 4.4% (aOR 0.65; 0.28–1.51).

CONCLUSIONS

Hospital adherence to CSTS recommendations was high, and failed screens were relatively common. Routine CSTS was not associated with reduced health care utilization and may prolong hospital LOS, particularly in the NICU/floor. Prospective trials are needed to evaluate this routine practice for otherwise low-risk infants.

Published: October 2022

This is a revision of the previous American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement titled “Patient Safety in the Emergency Care Setting,” and is the first joint policy statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Emergency Physicians, and the Emergency Nurses Association to address pediatric patient safety in the emergency care setting. Caring for children in the emergency setting can be prone to medical errors because of a number of environmental and human factors. The emergency department (ED) has frequent workflow interruptions, multiple care transitions, and barriers to effective communication. In addition, the high volume of patients, high-decision density under time pressure, diagnostic uncertainty, and limited knowledge of patients’ history and preexisting conditions make the safe care of critically ill and injured patients even more challenging. It is critical that all EDs, including general EDs who care for the majority of ill and injured children, understand the unique safety issues related to children. Furthermore, it is imperative that all EDs practice patient safety principles, support a culture of safety, and adopt best practices to improve safety for all children seeking emergency care. This policy statement outlines the recommendations necessary for EDs to minimize pediatric medical errors and to provide safe care for children of all ages.

Published: October 2022

Aroma and fragrance compounds have broad applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. However, these compounds are mainly produced by chemical synthesis. An alternative, sustainable and promising route for the natural production of flavour compounds is microbial transformation processes. In this work, we obtained the production of different aroma compounds in significant concentrations, such as isoamyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol, ethyl acetate and acetaldehyde, among others, from agribusiness by-products (sugarcane molasses) and using Pichia fermentans. These were subsequently concentrated by pervaporation and microencapsulation by spray drying using different encapsulating agents. The results showed that when these techniques were applied to two iced beverages, they produced an odour of fruity notes, especially those of banana. In addition, woody and alcoholic notes were identified by the panellists. Finally, the best encapsulating agents were dextrin (73.49 ppm) and the dextrin and maltodextrin mixture (72.58 ppm

Un diseño de experimentos de mezcla (SCMD) fue usado para determinar el efecto de la dureza y salinidad del agua de preparación en la viscosidad final de una solución polimérica con modificaciones con unidades ATBS (Acrilamidas-Terbutil Sulfonadas). Con los resultados experimentales del SCMD se construyó un modelo cuadrático especial, y se implementó un modelo numérico que permite determinar la concentración de polímero necesaria para alcanzar la viscosidad deseada, dependiendo de la salinidad y dureza del agua de preparación. Adicionalmente, el modelo numérico desarrollado fue validado con datos experimentales de la literatura. Este puede predecir la concentración requerida de un polímero modificado con ATBS para alcanzar la viscosidad deseada con un 95% de confiabilidad en los rangos evaluados. El modelo numérico de Newton-Raphson desarrollado usando un SCMD es el primero reportado en la literatura que permite determinar la concentración de polímeros ATBS necesaria para conocer un rango de viscosidad.

This study aims to assess the effect of powdered apple pomace on the technological characteristics of batter, and on the physicochemical and sensory quality characteristics of sponge cake. Apple pomace powder (10%, 25%, and 50 %) was introduced into the sponge cake formulation, where it replaced an equivalent amount of wheat flour. Assessment of the viscous properties of the composite flour has shown that the peak viscosity ranged from 330.00 to 731.00 Brabender units (BU) and its value decreased with an increase in the mass fraction of apple pomace powder. The gelatinisation temperature for the mixtures ranged 60.50–61.7°C and slightly decreased after adding by-products of apple processing. It has been found that the specific gravity of sponge cake batter increases when pomace powder is used (from 0.72±0.02c to 0.78±0.03d), which is due to the increase in the dietary fibre. The findings have shown that the volume of the cake samples containing apple pomace was smaller than that of the control sample (245.00±6.22 cm3), and the cake with 50% of apple pomace powder had the smallest volume (215.00±7.32cm3). The highest porosity was observed in the control cake sample (66.34±1.72%), while in the cake with 25 % of apple pomace powder, this parameter was 65.15±1.07%. The water absorption capacity of the control (312.60±3.15%) is the lowest compared with that of the cakes with apple pomace powder. Adding apple pomace resulted in a more intense brownish colour of the cakes and in the pleasant fresh apple taste. The semi-finished sponge cakes with 25% and 50% of apple pomace were characterised by an attractive brown colour, small-sized, properly distributed pores in the crumb, and high sensory characteristics. It can be concluded that powdered apple pomace can be successfully used as a functional and nutritionally valuable substitute for wheat flour, without a significant deterioration in the technological quality of products.

The paper presents data on the useful properties of quinoa seeds, which are rapidly gaining popularity due to their rich chemical composition. The results of studying the changes in the organoleptic, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of quinoa grain during storage under different conditions are presented. The quinoa seeds considered in the research were stored for 12 months at the temperature +(5–30)°С and relative humidity 20–80%. It has been shown that after storing the quinoa seeds for 12 months at +(5–30)°C, their organoleptic characteristics changed: a noticeable rancid and unpleasant aftertaste appeared, accompanied by a foreign smell and a slight change in the colour. When the quinoa grain was stored at +5°С, its acidity remained within the standards of good grain quality throughout the whole storage period. At +15°C, the acidity remained normal for up to 9 months of storage, and at +30°C, up to 6 months. Analysis of the obtained results on the microbiological characteristics has shown that the predominant component of the bacterial microflora of quinoa grain (70.5%) is non-spore-forming bacterium Erwinia herbicola, a representative of the epiphytic microflora. The micromycetes found are mould fungi of the genus Aspergillus and field fungi of the genus Mucor. It has been shown that when quinoa grain is stored at +(5–30)°С, the vital activity of microorganisms is significantly reduced, the development of bacteria and even moulds is retarded, which has a positive effect on maintaining the grain quality. The studies have made it possible to recommend storing quinoa grain for up to 12 months at +5°C, up to 9 months at +15°C, and not more than 6 months at +30°C.

Enterprises, organizations and consumers from various business ecosystems have faced crisis phenomena. The reason for these phenomena is the complete or partial suspension of the activities of international companies on the Russian market and sanctions pressure from foreign states. The purpose of this study is to expand the understanding of risk management in the activities of business ecosystems and enterprises that have joined them during crisis periods. We take into account the similarities and differences between the crisis phenomena associated with the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection SARS-CoV-2, and the phenomena associated with breaks in transport and logistics chains and the refusal of a number of foreign banks to make payments for raw materials, components and finished products. The study was conducted using the methods of systemic economic theory and operational risk theory. We have identified periods of development of crisis phenomena in the economy. We also identified the stages of transformation of risk management systems for both individual enterprises, organizations and consumers included in the business ecosystem, and the business ecosystem as a whole. We have shown that in order to fix changes risk management systems in business ecosystems, the following stages: the risk management system before the crisis; the system of emergency response measures to crisis phenomena; the risk management system adapted to the detected crisis phenomena; the new, modernized risk management system should be described. A debatable issue and limitation of the applicability of the results of this study is the incompleteness of the processes of adaptation of business ecosystems, enterprises, organizations, consumers and, accordingly, risk management systems to existing crisis phenomena.

The third and fourth industrial revolutions are developing on the basis of information technology. The main technologies within the fourth industrial revolution, which began at the turn of the 21st century, are cyberphysical systems, the Internet of things and cloud computing. Any industrial revolution implies a rapid increase in labor productivity. However, in most countries, the average annual growth rate of gross value added per person employed in industry, including energy, has been steadily declining over the past 30 years, and in a number of countries in the 2010s, they were negative. Those states that in the 2000s, accelerated the growth rate of gross value added per employed person compared to the 1990s, in the 2010s they reduced them to a level less than in the 1990s. The average annual GDP growth rate at PPP per hour worked also showed a slowdown in the 21st century. The fourth industrial revolution has as its main consequence increased digital control over citizens and enterprises. In industry and agriculture, a decrease in production volumes and a reduction in employment is predicted. The discourse of the fourth industrial revolution seems to have as its goal the formation of a positive perception of digitalization technologies and total control by humanity.

RESUMO Objetivos: verificar a relação de patologias cardíacas com injuria renal aguda e avaliar o prognóstico do paciente em terapia de substituição renal. Métodos: estudo de coorte, realizado em hospital público especializado em cardiologia. O tratamento, comorbidades, tempo de tratamento, exames laboratoriais, alta e óbitos foram analisados. Resultados: dos 101 pacientes, 75 (74,3%) receberam tratamento não dialítico. Os diagnósticos cardiológicos mais frequentes foram hipertensão arterial, miocardiopatias e síndrome coronariana. A internação nos pacientes dialíticos foi de 18 dias, a hemoglobina <10,5g/dl e a anuria nos primeiros dias de internação contribuíram para o tipo de tratamento. Cada aumento de unidade de hemoglobina a partir do primeiro dia de internação diminui em 19,2% a chance de diálise. Não houve diferença na mortalidade. Conclusões: as principais doenças cardiológicas não foram preditivas de indicação de diálise, e o tratamento clínico foi o mais frequente. Anuria e anemia foram preditores para o tratamento dialítico.
