In the present study, the transcriptome profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of indigenous piglets against classical swine fever (CSF) vaccination was performed for elucidating the genetic basis of their differential humoral immunity. Piglets were vaccinated with lapinised strain of CSF virus (CSFV) followed by measurement of humoral immune response using c-ELISA at 28th day post vaccination (28dpv). The RNA sequencing data was analysed using established pipeline to determine set of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in high responder as compared to low responder piglet. The differentially expressed important immune molecules were involved in regulating important pathways including antigen processing and presentation, T cell receptor signalling, B cell development, activation and signaling genes. The genes with differential expression also included TLR 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and antiviral molecules such as MX, and ISG (Interferon stimulated genes) family members. The proteinprotein interaction of the immune genes was extracted for network representation. Most of the immune genes involved showed upregulation except the genes for antigen processing and presentation and T cell receptor signaling that were downregulated in the high responder. The immunologically important genes namely IFIT1, IFIT5, TAPBP, and TLR7 were validated using qRT-PCT and were observed to be in concordance with the RNA Seq results.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of diets containing raw lentil seeds (Lens culinaris cv. Eston and cv. Anicia) on meat fatty acids profile and blood plasma parameters of broiler chickens. Day old, broiler chicks (1,000; Cobb 500) were randomly allocated to the following 5 treatments, viz. a diet based on corn and SBM as control; 200g/kg of raw lentil seeds cv. Eston (LE); 400 g/kg of LE; 200g/kg of raw lentil seeds cv. Anicia (LA);400 g/kg of LA. Data were analysed as a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. The broilers meat fatty acid profile was affected by dietary inclusion of lentil. Accordingly, breast muscle of broilers fed raw lentil seeds had significant higher levels of alfa-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids. A significant interaction was observed between level and cultivar for majority of n-3 PUFA profile, except for octadecatetraenoic acid, EPA and DHA. The blood plasma parameters were not influenced by treatments, except for glucose and triglycerides concentration which were lower in the groups fed with lentils. No significant interaction between lentil levels and cultivars was noticed for plasma parameters. Based on the results, we concluded that raw lentil seeds represent an interesting alternative protein source which can improve the quality of broiler meat that can be recommended in healthy, balanced diets to prevent human diseases.

The shifting cultivation is an indigenous land use system widely prevalent and practiced in North East India. Around the globe, the tropical countries practise this form of land use called commonly as shifting cultivation or swidden or slash and burn agriculture. Being one of the dominant land use systems, shifting cultivation calls for investigation by the interested researchers and academicians. Hence, the purpose of the present endeavor is to analyze the basic social dimensions of shifting cultivation through interventions analysis of secondary information and strategies for improvement. The review lays focus on shifting cultivation in India and blending the accumulated experiences with those of other countries. The review takes into account social characteristics of the shifting cultivation, the underlying causes of the shifting cultivation, the Government of India initiatives and impacts to control the shifting cultivation, sustainability, livelihood and food security and the shifting trends in shifting cultivation and the strategies for livelihood improvement. The analysis reveals that the shifting cultivators have an intricate relationship with the land and have a strong affinity and respect towards the land as it is a way of life. The trends in shifting cultivation though depict some patterns of change but the data are highly varied. From the literature, it is observed that there is a transition taking place in the various countries in varied form from subsistence based system to dual economy. The jhum land use is debatable as the practice is criticized as an unscientific form of land use, which causes land degradation and ecosystem fragility. As a result, the region is experiencing colossal loss of vegetation cover and top fertile soils through erosion from steep slopes. Therefore, a significant, multidimensional strategy is required to transform the large scale agricultural degraded land from a financial and environmental liability to valuable assets. However, the systematic and detailed study needs to be conducted in the North Eastern Region on the social dimension of shifting cultivation and strategies for its improvement.

Published: February 2023

Under Online Pest Monitoring and Advisory Services (OPMAS) program, huge information/data on cotton pest along with weather were collected in three intensive cotton growing zones, viz. the North Zone (Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan), the Central Zone (Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat), and the Southern Zone (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu), in India. Based on pest monitoring weekly advisory services were issued to extension agencies and farmers for control measures of pests in the cotton crop. Under the project extraction system was developed which was based on three tier architecture, i.e. presentation, application and data tier to reduce the effort for searching a huge set of data for desired information on real time points. In the system, the central value of pest (mean, maximum and minimum) and spread of the pest in terms of variance and standard deviation may be obtained. These results can provide the epidemic status of the pest based on the threshold values which can be utilized to issue advisories to farmers about the pest control. In future the data extracted from this system can be used for pattern development using pest population as a character under study and time variable as an independent/explanatory variable.

Published: February 2023

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Station, Bathinda during 2010-2013 to evaluate various crop sequences under variable irrigation regimes. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with six crop sequences, viz. barley-Bt cotton, barley-cluster bean, barley-green gram,mustard-Bt cotton, mustard-cluster bean and mustardgreen gram in main plots and three irrigation regimes [optimum (O), sub-optimum (SO) and sub-sub optimum (SSO) ] were kept in sub plots with three replications. The grain yield of barley reduced significantly where grown after cotton to the tune of 10.8 and 9.2% as compared to green gram and cluster bean, respectively. The barley grain equivalentyield (BGEY) was higher in mustard under all the preceding crops (cotton, green gram and cluster bean).Significant increase in cotton equivalent yield (CEY) was noticed in cotton sown after barley than mustard. Amongst the CEY of the system, barley-cotton crop sequence gave significantly highest CEY which was at par with mustard-clusterbean and mustard-cotton crop sequence. Significantly higher barley grain yield, mustard grain yield and cotton equivalent yield was recorded in optimum water regime, followed by SO and lowest in SSO regime. Water expense efficiency (WEE) of barley was higher preceding greengram followed by cluster bean and lowest in cotton system. Whereas,WEE was almost same under mustard succeeding cotton and greengram but was lowest in mustard-cluster bean crop sequence. The maximum water productivity (WP) was recorded in clusterbean- mustard followed by clusterbeanbarley crop sequence. The sub-sub-optimum irrigation regime recorded highest WP followed by SO and lowest in optimum. The highest organic carbon was observed under cluster bean-barley followed by cluster bean-mustard cropping system. The potassium content deceased in cotton based crop sequence as compared to cluster bean and greengram crop sequence. Whereas, increase in available N, and P was noticed in cluster bean and green gram based cropping systems than cotton based sequence. The highest cost of cultivation was recorded in cotton based cropping sequences and lowest in cluster bean based cropping sequences. Consequently, higher net returns, B: C ratio were obtained in clusterbean based crop sequence than cotton based sequence.The optimum water regime showed highest gross returns, net returns and benefit cost ratio.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of using Wayuu myths and legends supported by multimedia applications to strengthen literacy skills in 5th-grade students. The research was descriptive, evaluative, and comparative with a quasi-experimental, cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 37 students, forming an intentional sample of students who completed the 5th grade. A single group of students organized by the educational institution was worked with, to whom a pretest and posttest were applied. The data collection technique was direct observation, using a 18-item knowledge test, with dichotomous, simple selection. Reliability was calculated using the K-20 coefficient of Kuder-Richardson, obtaining 0,82, which is considered highly reliable. The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon (Z) statistic. In conclusion, it was found in the diagnosis that students show significant differences in the levels of literacy learning when applying the pretest and posttest, and that the use of Wayuu myths and legends supported by multimedia applications improved the levels of literacy learning. It is recommended that teachers use these strategies to improve literacy skills in their students.

Published: February 2023

Phyllanthin is known to have therapeutic properties such as immunomodulator, nephroprotective, and anticancer. Phyllanthin is a lignan compound that is commonly found in plants of the Phyllanthus genus, one of which is green meniran (Phyllanthus niruri). Solvent Ionic Liquid (IL) is one of the alternative solvents that are widely used for the extraction of compounds from a plant. The purpose of this study were to compare the extraction yield of philanthine compounds from meniran herbs using IL solvent by Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) with methanol by maceration method, and to determine the IL solvent that could produce the highest phyllanthin content. Optimization were carried out using the independent variables IL solvent concentration (0.25 M, 0.75 M, and 1.25 M) and sample-solvent mixture (1:10, 1:12, and 1:14). The variable modeling is designed using Response Surface Methodology that produced 9 runs of combination of solvent concentration and sample-solvent mixture ratio. The phyllanthin assay was using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with ethanol-water mixture (66:34) as mobile phase and wavelength at 229 nm for detection. The optimum extraction conditions showed the best results for imidazolium chloride IL at 1st run with a concentration of 0.75 M, the sample-solvent mixture of 1:14 and phyllanthin content of 0.1783 mg/g while imidazolium bromide IL at 7th run with a concentration of 0.75 M and the sample-solvent mixture of 1:12 and phyllanthin content of 0.23 mg/g. However, the methanol maceration method could only extract phyllanthin as much as 0.1319 mg/g. Based on these results, the use of IL-MAE was more effective than the methanol maceration method due to higher phyllantin extract.
Platon, Pythagore et les pythagoriciens
Authors: Brisson Luc
Published: February 2023

Il faut aborder avec scepticisme les quelques références à Pythagore et aux Pythagoriciens contenues dans les dialogues de Platon, car il est difficile de prendre la mesure effective d'une influence pythagoricienne sur l'Athénien. En fait, les seules références explicites à Pythagore (Rép. X 600a-b) et aux Pythagoriciens (Rép. VII 530c-531a) ne nous disent pas grand-chose et, concernant les personnages traditionnellement considérés comme pythagoriciens, nos informations sont peu fiables, incertaines et temps contradictoires. Une telle prudence est particulièrement utile dans le cas de Timée et du caractère homonyme de ce dialogue, dont le pythagorisme, bien que largement accepté par les commentateurs, semble hautement discutable. Ainsi, seule l'application d'une méthode historique prudente et lucide peut éviter cette dérive qui identifie comme pythagoricienne toute référence à la transmigration de l'âme et aux mathématiques au sens large.
Impact of litter on femur and tibial morphology, bone biomechanics, and leg health parameters in broiler chickens
Authors: Khan Komal , Kaya Mehmet , Fidan Evrim Dereli , Kilimci Figen Sevil
Published: February 2023

Objective: In this study effects of three types of beddings on broiler leg health and bone biomechanics were evaluated.Methods: A total of 504 male chicks (Ross 308) were randomly placed on three beddings (4 replicates/group; 42 birds/pen), zeolite-added litter (ZL), plastic-grid flooring (PF), and wood shavings (WS). On day 42, chickens were weighed, slaughtered, and samples (bone, muscle, and drumstick) were collected. Bones were subjected to leg health tests, morphometric measurements, biomechanical testing, and ash analysis.Results: Broilers in PF and WS groups showed higher live weight than the ZL group (p<0.001), and the incidence of tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) and varus valgus deformity due to distal bending was significantly higher in PF (p<0.001). Multinomial logistic regression showed that bedding has a significant (p = 0.038) contribution toward the development of TD. Tibial strength (p = 0.040), drumstick width (p = 0.001), and total femur and epiphyseal ash contents (p = 0.044, 0.016) were higher in the ZL group. Chicken live weight was correlated with tibial length and weight (r = 0.762, 0.725).Conclusion: Flooring and the type of bedding material directly affect broiler bone length, strength and leg health. Plastic bedding improves the slaughter weight of chickens on the expense of leg deformities, and zeolite litter improves leg health and bone strength.

Published: February 2023

Objective: We investigated the effects of outdoor access for 1 h per day on the animal welfare (AW) of tethered cows, in terms of lying and sleeping postures, and immune function.Methods: A total of five dry cows were tethered all day indoors (tethering) for 30 days and then tethered indoors with 1 h daily outdoor access (ODA-1h) for 30 days. To analyze the effects of ODA-1h, we calculated the total duration and bout frequency per day, and bout duration of lying and sleeping postures during the last five days of each treatment period. We also analyzed the populations of T cells, B cells, and NK cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by fluorescence-activated cell sorting and determined the concanavalin A (Con A) -induced proliferation rate of T cells.Results: The mean total time per day of lying during the ODA-1h treatment was significantly shorter than that during the tethering treatment (p<0.001). The Con A-induced proliferation rate of T cells during the ODA-1h treatment was significantly higher than that during the tethering treatment (p = 0.007). The proportion of NK cells in PBMC during the ODA-1h treatment tended to be higher than that during the tethering treatment (p = 0.062).Conclusion: Although ODA-1h may decrease lying time, it increases the available space for tethered cows towards that typically found in grazing and free barn feeding systems. This increased available space promotes the expression of normal behaviors such as walking and social behaviors except lying and may also improve the immune function of tethered dry cows, thereby improving their overall welfare.
Etiology of Dry Eye
Authors: D. Rao Pushpa
Published: February 2023

The scope of this chapter is to provide insights into the classification based on the significant factors causing dry eye. The etiological causes of dry eye have been classified broadly into two primary arms. The first arm, aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE), illustrates malfunction of normal lacrimal secretion causing tear hyposecretion. ADDE is subdivided into Sjogren’s and the non-Sjogren’s syndrome. The former exclusively includes systemic autoimmune characteristics, while the latter comprises age-related disorders, genetic disorders, denervation in the lacrimal gland, and obstruction in tear secretion. The second arm, evaporative dry eye (EDE), explains the excessive loss of aqueous from the tear film despite the normal lacrimal secretion. Extrinsic EDE is with ocular surface pathology caused by vitamin A deficiency, contact lens wear, use of topical drugs with preservatives, and ocular surface diseases (allergic eye disease). The intrinsic EDE encompasses abnormalities in the meibomian lipid deficiency, low blink rate, and poor lid congruity. In brief, clinical tests to investigate the corneal epithelium integrity and the tear film have been discussed. This chapter aims to highlight the main etiologies of dry eye disease (DED) and current updates on techniques involved in diagnosing DED to help clinical practice.

Published: February 2023

Background: Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are the most common questions in clinical tests. Content validity and appropriate structure of the questions are always outstanding issues for each education system. This study aimed to evaluate the role of providing quantitative and qualitative feedback on the quality of faculty members’ MCQs. Methods: This analytical study was conducted on Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences faculty members using the total MCQs test at least two times from 2018 to 2021. The quantitative data, including the validity of the tests, difficulty, and discrimination indices, were collected using a computer algorithm by experts. Results: The second analysis revealed that 14 (27.5%) faculty members had credit scores below 0.4, which was within the acceptable range for the overall validity of the test. The results showed a higher difficulty index in the second feedback than the first (0.46 ± 0.21 vs 0.55 ± 0.21, P = 0.30). No significant difference was found in the discrimination index (0.24 ± 0.1.25 vs 0.24 ± 0.10, P = 0.006). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in terms of taxonomy I (61.29 ± 20.84 vs 59.32 ± 22.11, P = 0.54), II (29.71 ± 17.84 vs 32.76 ± 18.82 P = 0.39), and III (8.50 ± 16.60 vs 7.36 ± 14.48, P = 0 .44) before and after feedback. Conclusions: Based on the results, the questions were not ideal regarding Bloom’s taxonomy standards and the difficulty and discrimination indexes. Furthermore, providing feedback alone is not enough, and proper planning by the educational and medical development centers’ authorities is required to empower the faculty members in this area.
Solute Carrier Family 45 Member 2 Germline Variants in the Colombian Population with Melanoma
Authors: Garcia Garay Diana , Gutierrez-Castañeda Luz Dary , Tovar Parra Jose David
Published: February 2023

Background: The solute carrier family 45-member 2 (SLC45A2) gene, located on chromosome 5p13.2, is involved in melanin biosynthesis. Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in this gene are associated with skin, eye, and hair color variations in the population. SNVs p.L374F (C/T) and p.E272K (C/G) are additionally associated with protection against melanoma. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association of SNVs p.L374F and p.E272K with the development of melanoma in a sample of individuals from Bogotá, Colombia. Methods: In this case-control study, DNA samples were obtained from individuals after signing an informed consent form. Genotyping was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction high-resolution melting (PCR-HRM). Results: Phototype II was found in 19% of the subjects, phototype III in 70%, and phototype IV in 11%. Eighty percent of the subjects had brown eyes and dark brown hair color. Both SNVs were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The p.Glu272Lys variant was found to be a protective factor for melanoma, while the p.Phe374Leu variant was found to be a risk factor. The study also found that a CG haplotype was a risk factor for melanoma [odds ratio (OR), 2.75; 95% CI, 1.22 - 6.22; P = 0.021]. The study also found a strong correlation between variants and phototypes, as well as the sex of the patients. The study also analyzed the impact of these variants on the protein structure and found that the p.Phe374Leu variant has a probable pathogenic effect on the function of the protein. Conclusions: The frequencies found for the SLC45A2 gene variants are consistent with other studies conducted in the Latin American population, where the predominant phototypes are II and III. The CG haplotype is associated with a higher risk of melanoma.
Conspiracy Theories about Covid-19 Vaccines on a Slovak Politician’s Facebook Accounts
Authors: Ižák Štefan
Published: February 2023

The paper discusses the dissemination of conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 vaccines in the Slovak political discourse. The paper analyses the posts of selected Slovak political actors on Facebook. It aims to determine which political actors most often spread conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 vaccines, what image of vaccines these theories create, and whom they present as enemies. The content analysis method is used to achieve these aims; this method helps obtain quantitative and qualitative information about the research sample. During the research, the CrowdTangle application is used. The application monitors and gathers data about selected politicians’ public communication from Facebook. The research shows that in their Facebook posts, conspiracy theories about vaccines are most often used by politicians we can classify as far-right or far-left. Conspiracy theories negatively portray the vaccines and their manufacturers (except for the Sputnik V vaccine). This may ultimately affect people’s willingness to get vaccinated against Covid-19.

Published: February 2023

The growth of internet become more development in communication medium to provide various services. Information sharing ad security is mostly suffered by crime attackers because of different models of cyber-attacks are carried out by attackers.  Attackers creates jamming principles, communication delays, packet dropping, and information hacking, duplicate injection to do so many activities to destroy the security. Based on the communication data analysis and features are non-identified and difficult to find the malicious activities. So the development of cyber security needs advancement to find the attackers based on the communication breaking activities.  To resolve this problem, we propose a Spectral entity feature selection based Cyber Crypto Proof Security Protocol (C2PSP) to improve the cyber security. The Defect Scaling Rate (DSR) is used to estimate the communication defect rate. By marginalize the scaling rate using Spectral entity feature selection approach (SEFSA) is applied to select the features and trained to identify with Artificial neural network classifier (ANN).  Based on the attack principles and activities in communication medium, the Cyber Crypto Proof Security Protocol (C2PSP) is applied to ensure the security verification and validation to process the data safer and securely. The proposed system produce high performance compared to other system as well to identify the malicious activities to improve the security against the cyber-attacks

Include Ghidul Comisiei Europene pentru traducătorii din Uniunea Europeană şi legislaţia specifică traducerilor şi traducătorilor. Fidelitatea (sau loialitatea) şi transparenţa, idealurile duale în traducere, sunt de multe ori în conflict. Problema fidelităţii versus transparenţă a fost formulată şi în termeni de “echivalenţă formală” şi ” echivalenţă dinamică, sau funcţională“. Cele din urmă expresii sunt asociate cu traducătorul Eugene Nida şi au fost iniţial inventate pentru a descrie modalităţi de traducere a Bibliei, dar cele două abordări sunt aplicabile la orice traducere. În general, traducători au căutat să păstreze contextul în sine prin reproducerea ordinei iniţiale a sememelor, şi, prin urmare, ordinea cuvintelor - atunci când este necesar, reinterpretarea structurii gramaticale reale, de exemplu prin trecerea de la starea activă la cea pasivă sau invers. Diferenţele gramaticale dintre limbile cu "ordinea fixă a cuvânului" (engleză, franceză, germană) şi limbile cu "ordinea liberă a cuvântului" (de exemplu, greacă, latină, poloneză, rusă) nu a fost un impediment în acest sens. Caracteristicile sintaxei speciale (propoziţie-structură) a textului în limba sursă sunt adaptate la cerinţele sintactice ale limbii ţintă. Rolul traducătorului în legătură cu un text a fost comparată cu cea a unui artist, de exemplu, un muzician sau actor, care interpretează o lucrare de artă. Traducerea, ca şi alte arte, implică inevitabil alegeri, şi alegerea implică interpretare.

El huerto ecológico: Un recurso innovador para contribuir a las competencias para el desarrollo sostenible en la formación inicial de maestros/as
Authors: Aragón Núñez Lourdes
Published: February 2023

En los últimos años existe un interés creciente en el uso de huertos ecológicos como recurso didáctico en muchos centros escolares y es utilizado en todos los niveles educativos desde Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria. Sin embargo, algunos estudios indican que en la mayoría de los casos, se emplea como complemento del trabajo del aula (Vilches y Escobar, 2014), cuando algunos proyectos llevados a cabo recientemente ponen de manifiesto que este recurso permite educar a los estudiantes de una manera más integral y significativa (Bell y Dyment, 2008; Rodríguez-Marín, Fernández-Arroyo y García, 2016). Además, cuando se integran en la comunidad pueden llegar a ser espacios socioeducativos transversales de gran valor educativo y social, que no sólo mejoran la intervención educativa, también promueven una cultura social comprometida con la sostenibilidad (Barrón y Muñoz, 2015, p.213). En este sentido, desde el Grado en Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Cádiz (España) se utiliza el huerto ecológico desde hace algunos años como recurso y contexto de aprendizaje en la asignatura de Educación Ambiental en Infantil. Nuestro objetivo es que los estudiantes, futuros maestros/as, sean capaces de utilizar este recurso con sentido, a través de estrategias y metodologías activas y participativas útiles para tratar los problemas socioambientales en la etapa de infantil. En el presente trabajo se expone el diseño que se ha elaborado en la asignatura utilizando el huerto como elemento innovador a partir del cual, contribuir a la formación ambiental de nuestros estudiantes a la vez que se desarrolla en ellos, las competencias básicas para el desarrollo sostenible.

Published: February 2023

Reverse psychology is increasingly being used in marketing to enhance a brand’s attractivity and product differentiation. Even though this concept is well known in popular culture, very little research has investigated its effectiveness in simple decision-making processes. We investigated a magician force – technique that covertly influence the spectator’s choice –  to study how reverse psychology influences people’s selection process. The Five Card Mental Force is thought to rely on reverse psychology instructions to lead the audience member to choose a specific card among four others that are presented in a horizontal line. In four experiments, we investigated the effectiveness of reverse psychology instructions, position and contrast effects on participants’ choice. Our results suggest that reverse psychology significantly influences participants’ choices toward the force card, but that the position of the cards did not have a significant impact. Moreover, contrary to what the magic literature suggests, using contrasting effect did not enhance the likelihood of participants selecting the force card.

Background: Surgical stress and pain result in activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. The aim of this study was to establish the effects of postoperative pain and various modalities of analgesic administration on salivary and serum cortisol levels, as well as to establish the validity of salivary cortisol as a stress indicator in surgical patients. Methods: A randomized controlled trial involved 60 patients scheduled for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups depending on the model of postoperative analgesia. The first group (MI - morphine intermittently) included patients given morphine doses 0.1 mg/kg/6h s.c. intermittently. The second group (MPCA - morphine patient-controlled analgesia) included patients who received morphine via the PCA system - intravenous administration of morphine adjusted to a dose of 1 mg per shot and a lockout interval of 6 minutes. Results: The intensity of pain did not significantly vary until the hour 10 post-surgery. However, in the period from hour 10 to hour 18 post-surgery, higher intensity of pain was reported in group MPCA (P < 0.05). Hemodynamic instability was more prevalent in the MI group (40.0% vs 6.7%, P = 0.0048). Serum cortisol levels were almost identical in both groups (MI 509.4 nmol/L vs MPCA 511.0 nmol/L, P = 0.1473). Higher values of salivary cortisol were recorded in group MPCA; however, the difference was not statistically significant (47.1 nmol/L vs 116.3 nmol/L, P = 0.0970). Conclusion: Our study confirmed that salivary cortisol is a more sensitive stress biomarker in surgical patients as compared to blood cortisol.

Sonoridades, musicalidades e a biomecânica teatral na formação do ator-regente: caminhos pedagógicos
Authors: Martins Morgana Fernandes
Published: February 2023

A abordagem deste conteúdo teve como inspiração o pensamento do encenador russo Vsévolod Meyerhold sobre a encenação teatral como uma orquestra e o corpo do ator como instrumento musical. A partir desse impulso, a autora relata a vivência de estudantes estimulados pela investigação da tríade: propriedades sonoras, aspectos de musicalidade e biomecânica teatral de Meyerhold. Essa experiência ocorreu no primeiro semestre de 2016, como parte de pesquisa de doutorado desenvolvida pela autora entre 2013 e 2017 pela UNIRIO. Dentre as três etapas práticas ocorridas durante o desenvolvimento da tese, este artigo descreve a segunda delas: o processo de uma cena-experimento idealizada como uma orquestra musical. Esta pesquisa tem como finalidade a formação do ator-regente, autônomo de seus movimentos e compositor da sua dramaturgia cênica.
Feminist Pedagogy in the Neoliberal University: The Limits of Precarious Labour
Authors: Potvin Jacqueline , Dority Kimberly
Published: February 2023

In recent years, feminist pedagogy has been advanced as a strategy for disrupting the neoliberal corporatization of the university classroom. In this paper, we both recognize and trouble this disruptive potential, examining how the working conditions faced by adjunct instructors affect our ability to put our commitments to feminist pedagogy into practice. Based on our own experiences as sessional instructors, we argue that conditions such as heavy workloads, alongside limited access to institutional resources and community, contribute to faculty burn-out and hinder our ability to build and maintain feminist student-instructor relationships. Drawing on existing scholarship on feminist pedagogy, and emerging work exploring the challenges of teaching within the neoliberal university, we argue for the need to extend and complicate dominant understandings of feminist pedagogy as a series of values and practices that individual instructors can implement, and to recognize how its enactment is limited by the adjunctification of higher education. This paper pertains to instructors, particularly those in feminist departments, seeking to apply feminist pedagogy across the university.

We offer a number of various finite and infinite sum identities involving the binomial coefficients, Bernoulli numbers of the second kind and harmonic numbers. For example, among many others, we prove \[\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{(-1)^{k}h_{k}}{4^{k}} {{2k} \choose {k}}G_{n-k}=\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{2^{2n-1}}{{2n-2} \choose {n-1}}\] and \[\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{h_{k}}{k^{2}(2k-1)4^{k}} {{2k} \choose {k}}=2\pi +3\zeta(2)\log 2-3\zeta(2)-\frac{7}{2}\zeta(3),\] where h_k=H_{2k}-\dfrac{1}{2}H_{k}, G_k are Bernoulli numbers of the second kind, and \zeta is the Riemann zeta function. We also give an alternate proof of the series representations for the constants \log (2 \pi) and \gamma given by Blagouchine and Coppo.

Understanding object representations requires a broad, comprehensive sampling of the objects in our visual world with dense measurements of brain activity and behavior. Here, we present THINGS-data, a multimodal collection of large-scale neuroimaging and behavioral datasets in humans, comprising densely sampled functional MRI and magnetoencephalographic recordings, as well as 4.70 million similarity judgments in response to thousands of photographic images for up to 1,854 object concepts. THINGS-data is unique in its breadth of richly annotated objects, allowing for testing countless hypotheses at scale while assessing the reproducibility of previous findings. Beyond the unique insights promised by each individual dataset, the multimodality of THINGS-data allows combining datasets for a much broader view into object processing than previously possible. Our analyses demonstrate the high quality of the datasets and provide five examples of hypothesis-driven and data-driven applications. THINGS-data constitutes the core public release of the THINGS initiative (https://things-initiative.org) for bridging the gap between disciplines and the advancement of cognitive neuroscience.

Published: February 2023

In petrochemical plant facilities handling highly inflammable and combustible substances, it is necessary to preferentially review the frame type (closed or open) of the facility with consideration to the various fire conditions that may arise depending on the substances being handled. Accordingly, a fire simulation was carried out in this study for different fire conditions by assuming three frame types, and the spatial temperature distribution was analyzed for each condition. Various temperature distributions were found according to the fire type, fire source, and frame type of the facility. The results showed that petrochemical plant facilities handling diverse substances need to implement fire-resistant designs appropriate for the purpose of the facility by comprehensively considering the arrangement and frame type of the facility and the fire conditions that are likely to arise.
