Authors: Nascimento Talita Lacerda , Silva Júnior Luiz Honorato da
Published: September 2022

O debate concernente ao teletrabalho no setor público tem sido um tema importante que ainda carece de contribuição teórica e empírica. Antes do início da pandemia mundial provocada pelo Covid-19 as instituições públicas, inclusive a Universidade de Brasília, já debatiam maneiras eficazes e adequadas de implementar esse regime de trabalho. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar os resultados da simulação da interação estratégica entre servidores e gestores dos decanatos de gestão e administração da referida Universidade concernente aquilo que seria o melhor modelo de funcionamento. A análise foi feita com embasamento teórico na Teoria dos Jogos, a partir da adaptação do jogo Dilema dos Prisioneiros e na construção de uma matriz de pay-off. Os resultados mostram evidências de que há uma preferência de ambos os jogadores para o teletrabalho semipresencial em detrimento às demais modalidades apresentadas no jogo. O equilíbrio de Nash, adaptado do Dilema dos Prisioneiros, foi atingido para as modalidades de teletrabalho semipresencial e teletrabalho por tarefas, com observância à influência dos incentivos apresentados no jogo. Na referida matriz de pay-off obteve-se o equilíbrio de Nash no par de estratégia teletrabalho semipresencial ao qual também coincidiu com o Ótimo de Pareto.

Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar o desenvolvimento socioeconômico dos municípios que compõem a Mesorregião Diferenciada Grande Fronteira do Mercosul (GFM), utilizando como parâmetro o crescimento econômico urbano e o desenvolvimento socioeconômico municipal, no período de 2005 e 2016. A metodologia utilizada foi a estimativa dos indicadores de Centralidade e Disparidade Regional, para verificar a convergência do desenvolvimento socioeconômico intra e inter-regional. Os resultados apontaram que os municípios com bom desempenho socioeconômico possuem atividades econômicas voltadas à agropecuária, indústria e/ou serviços de forma mais intensiva. Na sua totalidade, a Mesorregião é dinâmica, mas com uma significativa polarização regional. Os municípios com baixos indicadores de desenvolvimento socioeconômico necessitam de políticas públicas focalizadas no potencial endógeno.

Performance assessment of Timber High-rise Buildings: Structural and Technological Considerations
Authors: Angelucci Giulia , Mollaioli Fabrizio , Molle Milena , Paris Spartaco
Published: September 2022

Background:

Nowadays, a renewed momentum on the use of timber material is ensured by the development of high performing engineered wood products, which enables larger and taller structures to be built. Although the design of multi-story timber buildings is still in its early stages, the active interest shown by designers and researchers in advancing awareness and technologies in this field bodes well for the proliferation of an increasing number of tall wooden buildings.

Objective:

As a consequence of the difficulties with designing a nominally all-wooden tall structure, whilst utilizing its beneficial aspects, dual timber-concrete systems are considered in this work. In detail, the study aims to investigate the contribution of a reinforced concrete core coupled to timber stability systems for the effective control of lateral drifts in multi-storey buildings subjected to severe loading scenarios.

Methods:

The design of a 26-storey structural model, conceived by combining concrete cores with three design alternatives for the perimeter structure (namely a GLT frame, a CLT shear walled system and a GLT diagrid), provides the opportunity for discussing its lateral bearing capacities.

Results:

The building models show high lateral stiffness in withstanding seismic and wind induced loads. This result is mainly attributable to the introduction of the rigid concrete core, which nearly supplies the demand for shear and bending stresses alone. Compared to a typical cross laminated core, the concrete tube results in a stiffness increment of 68% for the frame variant, 45% for the wall variant and 23% for the diagrid variant. Therefore, the serviceability requirements, both in terms of top displacements and inter-story drifts, are inherently satisfied and kept well below the prescriptive limitations.

Conclusion:

The results confirm the excellent behavior of the diagrid systems, for which any variations of the inner core have almost insignificant impact on the global building performance. In addition, previous research works suggest that the timber member sizing is mainly governed by stiffness requirements, which materialize through monitoring of the lateral sway, while member strength demands are deemed to be implicitly satisfied. The paper demonstrates that strength and stiffness demands can be of equal significance during the sizing process of dual systems.

Published: September 2022

Medicinal herbs and their essential oils (EOs) are of commercial andindustrial importance with diverse uses as forage and fiber crops, in food, cosmetics,perfumery and chemical industries, and in traditional medicine due to theirphytochemical constituents and bioactivities. This chapter was aimed at documentingthe therapeutic properties of major secondary metabolites in EOs extracted from sixselected economically important medicinal herbs (Achillea millefolium L., Melissaofficinalis L., Origanum majorana L., Pelargonium graveolens L'Hér. Rosmarinusofficinalis L. and Thymus vulgaris L.). Forty-five compounds (mainly monoterpenes)were recorded as major compounds of the six medicinal herbs. The compounds possessvarying biological activities, which include antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory,antioxidant and cytotoxicity properties. Other activities reported were antinociceptive,neuroprotective effects, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, anti-ulcerogenic, DNAprotection, glutathione S-transferase activity, chemoprotective, anti-depressant andsedative effects. The compounds showed potential to be used as alternative agents asdrugs, cosmetic ingredients and food additives. Though some scientific evidence hasconfirmed the use of these herbs in various industries, much work still needs to be doneto comprehend the therapeutic application of their EOs and phytoconstituents to benefitfrom their full potential.

Authors: Lee Youngjeong , Lee Se A , Lee Eek-Sung , Lee Tae-Kyeong , Lee Jong Dae
Published: September 2022

Objectives: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign Schwann cell-derived slow growing tumor originating from the vestibular nerve. Here, we aimed to investigate the correlation between the presence of the dizziness symptoms and several vestibular function test results.Methods: We analyzed 32 patients who diagnosed with VS from 2010 to 2021 in our hospital. Caloric test, cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) test, and video head impulse test (vHIT) were analyzed.Results: Age, sex, pure tone audiometry, and tumor size did not show any statistical significance according to the presence or absence of dizziness. There was also no association between the presence of dizziness symptom or dizziness type and the results of the caloric test, vHIT, and cVEMP test, respectively. However, patients with dizziness had a higher rate of tumors confined to the inner auditory canal than those without dizziness.Conclusions: In this study, the rate of complaints of dizziness was higer in patients with intracanalicular VS. The diagnostic role of vestibulsr function tests in VS is limited. The dissociation of the results of caloric test, vHIT, and cVEMP test suggest that these test are complementary.
Vestibular Neuritis after COVID-19 Vaccination
Authors: Kim So-Hyun , Hwang Se Hwan
Published: September 2022

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread rapidly and was declared a pandemic. In this situation, vaccination for COVID-19 is important and has been prompted in many countries. However, a number of adverse events have been reported for the Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca vaccines. Otolaryngologic adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination were reported, including several cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Vestibular neuritis (VN) is an acute vestibular syndrome that causes acute and spontaneous vertigo due to unilateral vestibular deafferentiation, leading to nausea or vomiting and unsteadiness that can last from days to weeks. Neurotropism for the cochleovestibular nerve, immunoglobulin G mediated immune off-target reaction, and reactivation of latent viruses are hypothesized to be etiologies. Herein, the case of a 49-year-old female who developed VN after COVID-19 vaccination is presented. Although the association between VN and COVID-19 vaccination remains unclear, clinicians should be aware that VN may occur as an adverse event of COVID-19 vaccination.

Published: September 2022

A reforestation trial was carried out with ten native tree species under four different doses of mineral fertilizer in the lowland tropics in Tabasco, Mexico. In six one-hectare plots, 2415 seedlings of Brosimum alicastrum, Calophyllum brasiliense, Ceiba pentandra, Colubrina arborescens, Diphysa americana, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Handroanthus chrysanthus, Pimenta dioica, Pouteria sapota, and Tabebuia rosea were planted in a randomized design. The mineral fertilizer consisted of a single initial dose of 0 g, 150 g, 375 g or 750 g nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK), as well as micronutrients (Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn, S). First-year survival and median height increment of transplanted seedlings were analyzed with statistical confidence intervals. Whereas overall first-year survival for Ceiba pentandra for all fertilization doses combined was 66%, it was only 12% for Brosimum alicastrum. On the other hand, median height increment was 102 cm for Enterolobium cyclocarpum, whereas it was only 7 cm for Pimenta dioica. The survival of six of the planted species was apparently affected by the salinity effect caused by mineral fertilization. The only species that benefited from mineral fertilization in a statistically significant way was C. pentandra. In conclusion, mineral fertilization in tropical reforestation is not recommended in general. Appropriate species selection is far more important for favorable survivorship and height increment.

Мета дослідження – Визначити особливості харчування хлопців із затримкою статевого розвитку та лабораторними ознаками гіпоандрогенії різного ступеня.
Матеріали та методи. Проведено комплексне обстеження 50 хлопців-підлітків віком 14-18 років із затримкою статевого розвитку (ЗСР), яке передбачало оцінку сомато-статевого розвитку, показників гормонального статусу та анкетування щодо характеру харчування. За умов рівня загального тестостерону (ЗТ) менш ніж 12,0 нмоль/л визначали гіпоандрогенію (ГА) різного ступеню. Аналіз результатів анкетування був проведеній з урахуванням ступеню ГА та особливостей фізичного розвитку. Проведено статистичну обробку отриманих результатів.
Результати. Визначено значущі відмінності в кратності та характері харчування хлопців-підлітків із ЗСР та ГА різного ступеню. Встановлено, що хлопці із нормальним рівнем ЗТ та ГА І ст. на сніданок віддавали перевагу поживним та корисним стравам, вживали морепродукти та горох. Підлітки, які споживали рис та пшеничну кашу, мали менший ступінь ГА (відповідно F=2,99; р=0,044 та F=4,75; р=0,011). Хлопці із ГА ІІ-ІІІ ст. не дотримувалися режиму харчування, на сніданок частіше споживали страви та продукти, що зазвичай рекомендовано для додаткових прийомів їжі. В їх раціоні переважали фрукти, житній хліб та були відсутні морепродукти, що за результатами однофакторного дисперсійного аналізу збільшувало ризик прогресування ГА (F=11,31; р=0,001). Також доведено зв’язок між характером харчування та фізичним розвитком хлопців із ЗСР та ГА. Хлопці з нормальною масою тіла частіше вживали червоне м’ясо, томати, броколі, ніж пацієнти із надлишком або дефіцитом маси тіла. У пацієнтів з дефіцитом маси тіла переважали страви із курячого м’яса. Доведено позитивний вплив щоденного вживання капусти та насіння соняшника на довжину тіла хлопців (відповідно F=3,02; р=0,032 та F=7,16; р=0,015)
Висновки. Визначено якісні відмінності у режимі та стані харчування у хлопців з клінічними ознаками ЗСР та різним ступенем ГА. Обґрунтовано доцільність корекції харчової поведінки та дієтичного режиму у підлітків із групи ризику щодо порушення статевого розвитку.

Published: September 2022

Since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic, huge efforts to promote better treatment for the patients raised from the scientific community. One of the most effective treatment is the administration of corticosteroid in specific stages of the disease, once that severe COVID-19 pathophysiology evolves an exuberant inflammatory response, resulting in uncontrolled pulmonary inflammation and multisystem damage. However, it is still discussed whether some drugs, such as dexamethasone, are more effective than others, such as hydrocortisone and methylprednisolone. Therefore, we constructed here a comprehensive overview, based on clinical studies with detailed methodological procedures, regarding the role of corticosteroids in COVID-19 treatment. We aimed to address how the current evidence support their use in this scenario.
A Transcultural Perspective of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus–Related Fatigue: Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis
Authors: Tabudlo Jerick , Saligan Leorey
Published: September 2022

Background

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) worldwide, yet it remains poorly assessed and managed. The lack of universal definition and standard measurement of fatigue may add to the continued limitations in its understanding across cultures.

Objective

The psycho-sociocultural underpinnings of fatigue are understudied; therefore, in this paper, we conducted a systematic review to understand a transcultural perspective of SLE-related fatigue.

Methods

Following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) systematic review guidelines, we searched CINAHL Complete, Scopus, and PubMed databases for all published articles covered until the search date. Search was expanded using citation and web search. A 3-step process was used to identify articles meeting the inclusion criteria. The results were analyzed using narrative synthesis.

Results

From a total of 370 (n=364, 98.4% scientific databases; n=6, 1.6% web and citation search) articles searched, 18 (4.9%) studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in this review. All (18/18, 100%) studies enrolled primarily female participants, and half (9/18, 50%) had cross-sectional designs. Although race was not reported in all studies, most studies had White racial background as the largest proportion of their samples. A majority (7/18, 39%) of the studies were conducted in the United States. Using a narrative synthesis, the prominent themes drawn based on the domains of the culture care theory (CCT) and the sunrise enabler were as follows: SLE-related fatigue (1) as an integral component of the disease process, (2) as a personal challenge, and (3) as a psychosocial dimension.

Conclusions

CCT and sunrise enabler by Leininger guided this review. There are still gaps on how other domains of the CCT and sunrise enabler might influence SLE-related fatigue experience, assessment, and evaluation. The findings from this review showed that SLE-related fatigue has disease, personal, and psychosocial components. Thus, a purely subjective assessment of fatigue in SLE and even other conditions may limit a more accurate assessment and management. The inclusion of disease, personal, and psychosocial indicators is warranted and essential. A culturally sensitive and congruent assessment as well as evaluation models and measurement tools should be developed to capture fatigue experiences accurately. In addition, since global migration is inevitable, advancement in symptom management strategies should coincide with the understanding that fatigue has subjective and objective indicators present across cultures.

Published: September 2022

Background. The level of physical functioning is an indicator of biological age, a marker of health and quality of life, has prognostical significance for the risk of disability and death. The purpose was to assess the level of physical condition of patients with essential hypertension (EH) in the elderly (E) and old (O) age by The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Materials and methods. In 110 patients with 1–2 degree, stage II EH, mean age 69.1 ± 8.1 years, balance, gait speed and strength of the lower extremities were explores according to SPPB, evaluation of results were performed according to 4-point qualification system. Results. In EH patients a satisfactory level of physical functioning is registered: the total score for SPPB at E age was 10.49±0.18, C— 8.57±0.37. Among E hypertensive`s 92% showed maximum possible 12 points, while among C ones 88 % — 10 points (p=0.00001). The strength of the lower extremities demonstrated the most marked dynamics with age: the points number decreased by 30 % in O compared to E patients. In women the weakening of lower extremities strength appeared significantly greater than in men, while gender differences were eliminated at age. Maintaining the balance with age decreased by 20 %: 48.7 % E patients received maximally possible 4 points, 66.8 % O — 3 points (p=0.00001). In O group, balances deterioration were more common in men (χ2=8.6, p=0.03), but the degree of imbalance in women was higher: 8 % females failed to perform the tests. In 89% EH patients the speed of usual gait was registered within the age norms: the number of patients with gait speed < 0.8 m/s with age increased from 9 % in E to 17 % in O age. According to the results of SPPB, the incidence of Frailty syndrome was 11.1%, Prefrailty— 22.8%, most patients were classified as “robust”. Conclusions. EH patients C maintain a satisfactory level of physical functioning. Its deterioration with age is mainly due to a decrease in the strength of the lower extremities and disturbance of balance. Frailty syndrome according to SPPB was found in 18 % of O patients, while only in 3.4 % of E patients.

Research on Construction of Female Image in the Media and Entertainment Industry Women—The Past, the Present and the Future
Authors: Deng Qiuyu. , Yi Shuying. , She Wanlu.
Published: September 2022

The development of the Internet does not necessarily promote the harmonious development of gender in society. The focus and gaze of the Internet media on women’s bodies constructs the image of “being seen” on the Internet, which is a derogatory and distorted image of women. In the unequal relationship of “seeing and being seen”, the female body is an important carrier. The silence chosen by online audiences has further led to the online media’s eagerness to portray “being seen” women. News media and film and literature have not done enough to reflect and represent women in a fair, balanced, and consistent manner, and the number, perspective, and content of their works are not commensurate with the actual role women play in social production. This paper focuses on several images of women constructed by the news media and film and literature, analyzes their underlying causes and their impact on women, and tries to suggest possibilities for changing this phenomenon.

Effects of static magnetic fields on onion (Allium cepa L.) seed germination and early seedling growth
Authors: Morillo-Coronado Ana Cruz , Martínez-Anzola Herlyn Giovanni , Velandia-Díaz Julián David , Morillo-Coronado Yacenia
Published: September 2022

In vegetables of economic importance such as onion, one of the main limitations in their production is that their seeds have a relatively short storage life, so their viability decreases rapidly. Research has been carried out on onions to improve seed germination and to extend its use for sowing. The magnetic field is considered a simple, inexpensive, and non-invasive physical method to stimulate the germination process, compared to traditional chemical methods. In this sense the objective of this research were to evaluate the effects of static magnetic fields on Yellow Granex PRR hybrid onion (Allium cepa L.) seed germination, and early growth in the laboratory conditions. Seeds were exposed to 10 and 21mT, (mT=militesla), static magnetic fields induced by magnets for 0, 5, 3, 6, 12 and 24h; each treatment had four repetitions. The results showed that the low intensity stationary magnetic fields (10 and 21mT) did not cause significant differences in germination, dry weight, or fresh weight, but for the seedling length. It is necessary to increase the intensity of the magnetic fields and the exposure time to achieve important physiological changes that positively affect the germination and growth of onion seeds, and thus contribute to the improvement of their yield and productivity. The use of physical methods such as magnetism can stimulate different physiological processes in plants and thus contribute to the improvement of characteristics of agronomic interest.

The interrow spacing commonly used in cassava cultivation in Brazil, especially in the Agreste region of Alagoas, ranges from 100 to 120cm. However, the reduction in row spacing can provide agronomic and environmental benefits in cassava cropping systems. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the performance of two cassava varieties cultivated with reduced interrow spacing. Two experiments were conducted in the field, one in 2015/16 and another in 2017/18. A Split Plot design with four replications was used in both experiments. Four interrow spacing were evaluated in the main plot: 60, 80, 100 and 120cm, with plants spaced 60cm apart within rows, giving populations of 27,778, 20,833, 16,667 and 13,889 plants per hectare, respectively. In the subplots, two cassava varieties were evaluated: Caravela and Pretinha. An increase in interrow spacing promoted a linear reduction in the stem green mass of cassava. Plant height, leaf green mass, main stem diameter, root yield, tuberous root length, tuberous root diameter, flour percentage, flour yield, and starch content were not influenced by changes in interrow spacing. The Pretinha variety was superior to Caravela in the following evaluated traits: stem green mass, the diameter of tuberous roots, root yield, plant height, and flour yield. The results indicate the possibility of altering the interrow spacing in cassava to assist in the cultural management, without impacting crop yield.

The impact of altitude on the different sugars and acids of the feijoa fruit is unknown. For that reason, the objective of this study was to evaluate the altitudinal effect on the content of organic acids (citric and malic) and sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose) during the development of feijoa fruits. The study took place in the towns of Tenjo (2,580 m asl with 12.3°C, 76.4% RH, 190mm precipitation) and San Francisco de Sales (1,800 m asl, with 18.5°C; 86.1% RH, 573 mm precipitation), located in Cundinamarca (Colombia). In the first locality (Tenjo), the fruits developed with 1,979 growth degree days (GDD) (180 days after anthesis (daa), while in the second locality (San Francisco), 2,728 GDD were required (155 daa). For organic acids, the predominant acid was citric. During the fruit development, the contents of these acids presented low values with a later irregular behavior, finally showing 14.21mg g-1 FW (fresh weight) at harvest for citric acid at San Francisco and 7.95mg g-1 FW at Tenjo. For malic acid, 9.14mg g-1 FW was recorded in San Francisco, and 6.88mg g-1 FW in Tenjo, with significant differences for citric acid between altitudes. The monosaccharides fructose and glucose increased during fruit development. However, the disaccharide sucrose showed a significant much higher content at 2,580 m asl (4.27mg g-1 FW) than at 1,800 m asl (1.03mg g-1 FW), for which it is concluded that the higher temperature in the low locality originated greater respiration and loss of sucrose in the fruit.
Fast Stabiliser Simulation with Quadratic Form Expansions
Authors: Beaudrap Niel de , Herbert Steven
Published: September 2022

This paper builds on the idea of simulating stabiliser circuits through transformations of {quadratic form expansions}. This is a representation of a quantum state which specifies a formula for the expansion in the standard basis, describing real and imaginary relative phases using a degree-2 polynomial over the integers. We show how, with deft management of the quadratic form expansion representation, we may simulate individual stabiliser operations in O(n2) time matching the overall complexity of other simulation techniques \cite{Aaronson2004,Anders2006,Bravyi2016}. Our techniques provide economies of scale in the time to simulate simultaneous measurements of all (or nearly all) qubits in the standard basis. Our techniques also allow single-qubit measurements with deterministic outcomes to be simulated in constant time. We also describe throughout how these bounds may be tightened when the expansion of the state in the standard basis has relatively few terms (has low `rank'), or can be specified by sparse matrices. Specifically, this allows us to simulate a `local' stabiliser syndrome measurement in time O(n), for a stabiliser code subject to Pauli noise --- matching what is possible using techniques developed by Gidney \cite{gidney2021stim} without the need to store which operations have thus far been simulated.
Subradiant edge states in an atom chain with waveguide-mediated hopping
Authors: McDonnell Ciaran , Olmos Beatriz
Published: September 2022

We analyze the topological and dynamical properties of a system formed by two chains of identical emitters coupled to a waveguide, whose guided modes induce all-to-all excitation hopping. We find that, in the single excitation limit, the bulk topological properties of the Hamiltonian that describes the coherent dynamics of the system are identical to the ones of a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. However, due to the long-range character of the exchange interactions, we find weakening of the bulk-boundary correspondence. This is illustrated by the variation of the localization length and mass gap of the edge states encountered as we vary the lattice constant and offset between the chains. Most interestingly, we analytically identify parameter regimes where edge states arise which are fully localized to the boundaries of the chain, independently of the system size. These edge states are shown to be not only robust against positional disorder of the atoms in the chain, but also subradiant, i.e., dynamically stable even in the presence of inevitable dissipation processes, establishing the capacity of waveguide QED systems for the realization of symmetry protected topological phases.

Evidence of the climate changes are evident in all regions of the world. In this study we examine the air temperature variability in Latvia during the last climate normal (1991-2020) in comparison with the previous two climate normals (1971-2000; 1981-2010), as well reference period (1961.-1990) describing seasonal and regional changes. Over last 60-years (1961-2020), the annual mean temperature has increased by 1.2°C across Latvia, with largest increase (0.5°C) between the last two climate normals (1991-2020 and 1981-2010). Across Latvia, winter temperatures have risen more rapidly by around 2°C, while summer temperatures have risen by around 1°C. The study revealed a shift in climate types: in the western part of the country near Baltic Sea coast, climate zones have changed from boreal (Dfb zone) to temperate (Cfb zone) according to the classification of W. Koppen. In these areas, the coldest month (January or February) has an average air temperature above -3°C. The values of the continentality indices have also changed, with a decrease in the influence of the continentality effect, that is particularly strong in the eastern part of Latvia.

Published: September 2022

Kandelia candel Druce (Rhizophoraceae) is one of the true mangrove species found in South- East Asian mangrove communities, and it is reported that the bark of the plant along with pepper or dried ginger and rose water is found beneficial for the treatment of diabetes. Our aim and objective of the present work was to study pharmacognostic and physio-chemical standards for the bark of the plant Kandelia candel. It includes the macroscopy, microscopy, and powder microscopic characteristics of the bark which provide valuable information for the identification of bark. The barks show greyish to reddishbrown colour, it is slightly curved, and sometimes recurved inner the surface shows slightly yellowish red. The histological section of the bark shows the epidermal layer and mostly it is broken and shows periderm, periderm consists of suberise dead phellem cells, several layers of circular cells found in the cortical region, the interior of the bark shows wide radially oblong aerenchyma tissues, calcium oxalate crystals are very common in the bark which is found as druces and prismatic type crystal forms. Powdered drugs showed the presence of fragments of periderm, cortical parenchyma cells, calcium oxalate crystals, and fibres. Physiochemical constants like ash values, extractive values, foaming, swelling indexes, and fluorescent analysis were performed on the powdered drug which is fairly constant for crude drugs it helps to ascertain the purity of the drug. Preliminary phytochemical screening was performed and it reveals the presence of steroids, phenols, tannins, terpenoids, and flavonoids which may be responsible for the pharmacological effect of the bark of Kandelia candel, the results of the study help in setting the standards for the bark of Kandelia candel which can be useful for the identification and authentication of drugs in future.

Cuestión religiosa y política en Brasil: Pluralidad, biopolítica y conservadurismo
Authors: Sena da Silveira Emerson José
Published: September 2022

El presente artículo estudia la cuestión religiosa y política en Brasil desde una perspectiva sociohistórica. En los últimos años, hemos tenido la subida del biop oder de derecha; anarcocapitalista, en términos sociopolíticos, y reaccionario-conservador, en términos religiosos. ¿Cómo fue posible el surgimiento del panorama religioso-político actual? Hay dos hipótesis interpretativas complementarias: la construcción de un campo religioso-político conservador y reaccionario, y los cambios sociales y económicos neoliberales. La metodología de investigación es cualitativa y fueron utilizadas fuentes documentales primarias y secundarias sobre la religión y la política brasileña contemporánea.
Religión, política y Guerra Fría en Guatemala
Authors: García Vettorazzi María Victoria
Published: September 2022

Las interacciones entre religión y política son analizadas en dos momentos cruciales durante el desarrollo de la Guerra Fría en Guatemala: la Revolución de Octubre 1944-1954 y la Contrarrevolución, y los años de 1982 y 1983 cuando Efraín Ríos Montt gobernó Guatemala y la violencia alcanzó el punto más álgido durante la guerra interna. La manera en que religión y política se entrelazaron en ambos momentos tuvo un impacto significativo en las disputas que estaban en curso en torno a la transformación del Estado. Los acomodos que se forjaron entre elites religiosas y Estado facilitaron procesos que afincaron la presencia e influencia sociocultural de la Iglesia católica a partir del primer momento y de las iglesias evangélicas después del segundo.
