Uses of Probiotics and Immunonutrition in Gastrointestinal Disorders – Recommendations and Practices
Authors:   Aligarh Muslim University, Uttar Pradesh, India, Beevi S S Safeena ​ , Ashraf Uwais
Published: August 2024

Probiotics play a key role in restoring the normal gut microbiota and improves the gastrointestinal function. Generally, probiotics are pondered to be dietary factors which have an impact on the gut microbiota and to have a monitoring effect on the intestinal flora. The gut-liver axis has a pivotal role in the liver disease pathophysiology. Immunonutrition uses nutritional interventions to produce health-related effects beyond the primary nutrient value and regulate the neuroendocrine immunoinflammatory responses. Few studies are favouring the use of probiotics and immunonutrition in gastrointestinal disease. Still not much evidence-based guidelines pertaining to the uses of immunonutrition and probiotics are available. This article will provide an overview of the current practices and guidelines in the use of probiotics and immunonutrients in gastrointestinal diseases. Keywords Probiotics, Immunonutrition, Gut­liver axis, Gut microbiota, Sarcopenia
Wie is verantwoordelijk voor de financiële crisis?

Who is responsible for the financial crisis?

Many actors have been blamed for the financial crisis: Greenspan, banks, rating agencies, careless mortgage takers and incompetent mainstream economists. This paper however focusses on other explanations for the crisis which are usually neglected in mainstream economics. The imbalances in the income and wealth distribution worldwide have become so large, that the poor cannot buy the goods produced by rich countries anymore, while the rich have become so rich that they cannot spend all their income anymore in the real sector. This lack of demand for goods has artificially been filled by unsecured debts given to the poor, but eventually led to a taking off of financial markets, and to a crisis. When imbalances are too large, this backfires. Government packages aimed at stabilizing the economy should therefore not forget the income and wealth distribution in order to be successful in the long run.

Trends in maritime piracy; differences between Southeast Asia and Somalia

This article analyzes the development of maritime piracy in the last decennium. Various sources show that piracy in Southeast Asia has declined, probably due to a better cooperation between coastal states in this region in promoting maritime security and increasing surveillance of coast guards and navy vessels. Also a gradual improvement of the social economic situation seems to have contributed to the diminution of piracy as a source of income for the inhabitants of coastal regions. The dramatic rise of piracy incidents in recent years is mainly caused by the increasing activities of pirates in the Somali waters and the Indian Ocean. Extreme poverty, internal conflicts and the collapse of state authority in Somalia seem to have contributed to this development. The author discusses various types of piracy and differences in operating between Somali and Asian pirates.

Violence in the football pitch

This article analyzes how football game situations, especially those where players get injured, are posted within the law. In the Netherlands sport rules are not regulated in specific laws. An incident in the soccer pitch should be approached by the ordinary law: criminal law as well as liability. An important standard laid down in jurisdiction is that sport participants accept a certain risk to get hurt.

A conviction on the basis of criminal law occurs not very often, because it is hard to prove that the accused in a game situation had the intention to cause injury. The author gives an outline of the disciplinary rule structure of Dutch football. The Dutch football association KNVB has an important role in this structure. Every football player is a member of his own club as well as a member of the KNVB. As a consequence the club as well as the KNVB has the authority to take disciplinary action against football players breaking the rules. The disciplinary system and rules are different for professional and amateur football.
‘Another Woman' by Imptiyaz Dharker, and ‘I am Not That Woman’ by Kishwar Naheed: Marginalization, Resistance and Subversion
Authors: Khoche Pranav
Published: August 2024

The present paper attempts to analyse the theme of marginalization, subjugation and resistance in the selected poems, namely, ‘Another Woman' by Imptiyaz Dharker, and ‘I am Not That Woman’ by Kishwar Naheed and the paper also tries to show how the two poems can be linked as a sequel.  While ‘Another Woman' depicts the mute acceptance of violence by a woman typically from the Indian subcontinent, the speaker in‘I am not that Woman' exhibits remarkable resistance to the tendency to stereotype women in the market economy as well as to the oppression in the guise of customs of patriarchal society. Though the overall background of the paper is feminist criticism, the aspects of marginalization, and resistance and subversion as a response are dealt with in detail in this paper.
ONE OF THE SCENARIOS FOR SUPERSHEAR EARTHQUAKES
Authors: BUDKOV A.M. , KISHKINA S.B.
Published: August 2024

This paper is a part of the study on rupture propagation and seismic wave emission during movement along the fault, the main displacement of which in different regions is made by geomaterials with different frictional properties. The slip surface of the fault is not frictionally homogeneous. It contains asperities, barriers and “background” regions that are almost neutral with respect to velocity and displacement. The scenario of a seismogenic rupture is determined precisely by the presence, number and size of such regions with different dynamics of frictional characteristics. The study deals with the mechanics of supershear earthquakes, in which the rupture propagates with an unusually high velocity exceeding the shear wave velocity of the medium. Numerical simulation results confirm the existence of two different mechanisms governing the transition of an earthquake to a supershear regime. A model of the so-called “weak” fault is considered, for which the rupture velocity continuously increases from the sub-Rayleigh velocity CR to the shear wave velocity Cs and quickly exceeds it without any jump. This scenario is typical for faults with the value of the measure of strength S not reaching 0.8. The solved problem is not only of fundamental importance for understanding the earthquake mechanics, but also can find application in engineering seismology and the study of earthquake-induced rupture processes, because unlike an ordinary earthquake, supershear or fast ruptures cause strong shaking at a much greater distance from the source of the event (from the fault). This is confirmed by direct data on near-field ground motion obtained in recent years by research groups from different countries.
OPTIMIZATION OF THE WELDING PARAMETERS OF HIGH-QUALITY ALUMINUM/COPPER FSSW JOINTS USING TAGUCHI METHOD COMBINED WITH BACK PROPAGATION NEURAL NETWORK AND GENETIC ALGORITHM
Authors: KASGARI S.A. , MOHAMMAD M.R. , BERTO F.
Published: August 2024

Due to the different superior properties of lightweight and high-strength aluminum and high-conductivity copper metals, the joining of the two is very common and important in today’s industrial applications. Generally, there is no formula to follow for the setting of welding parameters, and the setting is completely based on the past knowledge and experience of experts. Once the range of expert experience is exceeded, the optimal parameters cannot be effectively set, which may easily lead to poor welding quality. This research aims to develop an economical and effective Taguchi experimental design method for achieving the highest shear strength value for aluminum/copper friction stir spot welded joints. Three independent welding process variables were considered including the pin rotation speed, dwell time, and downward pressure. Different optimization techniques such as Taguchi, TOPSIS, artificial neural network, genetic algorithm, and their combinations were utilized for obtaining the best ranges of input welding parameters to achieve the maximum shear strength values. The optimal combination of process parameters was found at the rotation speed of 1800 r/min, the dwell time of 15 s, and the downward pressure of 0.2 mm. The results showed that the integration of the TOPSIS method, neural network, and genetic algorithm provides the best combination of parameter values for the verification of shear strength experiments. According to the performed analyses, the degree of influence of the independent variables on the shear strength of bi-material joints can be ranked as: dwell time > pin rotation speed > downward pressure.

The etiological diagnosis of hypoglycemia in the non-diabetic patient is complex and includes a variety of diseases, including endogenous hyperinsulinism caused by functional β-cell disorders, the latter also known as nesidioblastosis or non-insulinoma pancreatogenic hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS). We report the case of a 62-year-old patient, not known to be diabetic, hypertensive on triple therapy, presenting with hypoglycemic episodes reaching 0.34 g/l for 2 years. Biological tests showed insulinemia at 676 pmol/l (norms 18-173pmol/l), C-peptide at 2980 pmol/l (norms 300-1400pmol/l). An octreoscan revealed a focus of radiotracer fixation in the head of the pancreas. The patient underwent 2 operations with persistent hypoglycemia; the combination of diasoxide 300mg/d and lanreotide 120mg/3 weeks led to the disappearance of hypoglycemia and a favorable outcome.

Invisible Wounds: Analyzing Women's Trauma in Shobha Rao's Girls Burn Brighter
Authors: Rahim Asma , Khan Abdul Hamid
Published: August 2024

The current research paper analyses Shobha Rao’s Girls Burn Brighter. It examines the novel's portrayal of female trauma, which is frequently misinterpreted and not acknowledged due to systemic bias and societal norms. The researcher uses a feminist perspective, with a focus on understanding how societal norms and views shape the nature of trauma. It examines the societal structures that promote gender-specific trauma and contribute to the lack of comprehension and acceptance of female suffering. The paper explores "insidious trauma", delves into gender differences, and discusses "secret trauma” to highlight the inadequate representation of women's trauma due to the prevailing class often portraying themselves as victims at the expense of marginalized groups. The findings of the research emphasize the importance of viewing traumatic events beyond extreme occurrences and recognizing the impact of familiar and seemingly normal experiences. It aims to enhance the understanding of women's trauma, prompting the necessity to reconsider the established parameters of defining trauma.
As audiências de custódia e sua aplicabilidade sobre um recorte feminino e racial
Authors: Ferreira Luma Soares Sabbadini Martins , Serejo Lucas André Ferreira , Branco Thayara Silva Castelo
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho disserta sobre as audiências de custódia e as diversas ilegalidades que ocorrem nestas, principalmente sob um recorte de raça e gênero. Este trabalho justifica-se em razão das possíveis irregularidades nas audiências de custódia, principalmente em relação às mulheres, já que se presume haver uma seletividade racial e de gênero. Por isso, pesquisa-se quais são as particularidades do desenvolvimento das audiências de custódia no âmbito feminino e supõe-se que estas audiências não se desenvolvem devidamente em relação às garantias como prega a Resolução 213 e os Pactos Internacionais. Em função disso, este trabalho visa promover uma reflexão social e jurídica sobre como mulheres e, principalmente negras, mesmo estando na mesma situação de homens ou mulheres não-brancas, são mais hostilizadas e inferiorizadas no processo penal. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo, analisar o contraste entre os Pactos Internacionais (Direitos Humanos e Direitos Civis e Políticos) e a Resolução 213 do CNJ, em relação à aplicabilidade destas audiências. Para isso, utilizou-se de pesquisas bibliográficas baseadas em livros e artigos sobre o tema. Com isso, pôde-se observar com a pesquisa que, de fato, diferentemente do que determina a Resolução 213 do CNJ, bem como os Pactos Internacionais, em alguns estados as audiências de custódia não seguem os parâmetros determinados, haja vista os diversos preconceitos de raça e gênero comprovados nestas audiências, influenciando na liberdade dos indivíduos, seja através do relaxamento da prisão ou liberdade provisória.

Este estudio se centra en los desafíos de aplicar medidas socioeducativas en un entorno abierto para adolescentes que han cometido infracciones en Brasil, específicamente las medidas de Prestación de Servicios a la Comunidad y Libertad Asistida, según lo establecido por el Estatuto del Niño y del Adolescente y el Sistema Nacional de Atención Socioeducativa.La investigación, realizada en tres municipios de la región de Campos Gerais en Paraná, Brasil, adoptó un enfoque cualitativo a través de entrevistas no estructuradas con profesionales de los Centros de Referencia Especializada de Asistencia Social. Los datos fueron analizados utilizando la técnica del Discurso del Sujeto Colectivo, siguiendo las pautas de Quivy y Campenhoudt. Los resultados revelan una escasez de actividades deportivas y de ocio para estos adolescentes, así como dificultades en la articulación de la red de apoyo. El estudio subraya la importancia de integrar estas actividades para promover un desarrollo integral y la reinserción social de los adolescentes. En conclusión, a la luz de la teoría del "Estado Ampliado" de Gramsci y de la perspectiva de la intersectorialidad, se evidencia la necesidad urgente de políticas y prácticas más amplias e integradas para atender las demandas de estos adolescentes en conflicto con la ley.

Published: August 2024

O clima de violência e insegurança que permeia o país está promovendo alterações significativas na maneira de "estar", "transitar" e "conviver" em espaços públicos, e, especialmente, instituições de ensino superior. Tendo em vista que o ambiente acadêmico é diferenciado e a rotatividade das pessoas que circulam internamente e no entorno dos campi é de grande proporção, a questão é, como promover a segurança nas instituições de ensino superior? O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os impactos e possíveis ações contra violência nos campi universitários brasileiros. Realizou-se uma pesquisa no Google Acadêmico com a equação booleana ("violência" AND "campus universitário "OR "IFES"). Foram selecionados 15 estudos s, divididos em quatro categorias: (i) estudos conduzidos com os discentes sobre o sentimento de segurança dentro do campus em que estuda; (ii) estudos conduzidos nos campi universitários, abordando diversas perspectivas da comunidade acadêmica; estudos que utilizaram dados de ocorrências das comunidades universitárias e que analisaram a necessidade e avaliação de capacitação dos seguranças institucionais; e as políticas de segurança das IFES.  Concluiu-se que é imperativa a implementação de ações urgentes para mitigar a violência em todas as suas formas nos ambientes universitários, incluindo cursos de capacitação para os profissionais de segurança e investimentos em equipamentos e infraestrutura necessários, além da necessidade de os gestores das instituições desenvolverem uma política de segurança institucional em conjunto com a comunidade universitária.

Published: August 2024

El presente trabajo expone la experiencia de intervención social en el Programa Barrios de Quito, bajo la Dirección de Vinculación con la Sociedad de la Universidad Central del Ecuador, durante el periodo académico 2022-2023. El objetivo es presentar las tensiones en la construcción del tejido social durante las prácticas preprofesionales y los desafíos a abordar por las estudiantes que continúen en actividades en dichos barrios. Se realizó una investigación cualitativa a partir de entrevistas a los moradores de los barrios, se apoya de la observación participante registrada en diarios de campo e informes sociales generados en la práctica preprofesional. Se concluye que, las relaciones comunitarias entre los moradores de los barrios están marcadas por las lógicas del capitalismo en su régimen neoliberal (individualización del sujeto y atomización del grupo familiar con respecto al resto de la comunidad, violencias patriarcales) lo que limita las formas de construcción de organización barrial. Esto marca varios desafíos para pensar una intervención social que posibilite la reconstrucción de dicho tejido y que proponga estrategias para la edificación de redes solidarias entre los moradores de los barrios

Authors: Husaini Abdillah , Sary Yoshida
Published: August 2024

The first village located in Sei Meran Village, Pangkalan Susu Subdistrict, with a population of 640 people consisting of 325 men and 315 women. The village experienced clean water scarcity and received assistance in the form of a drilled well, water pump, and water tank from the Langkat Police Chief through the POLRI Cares for the Environment program. This program significantly improved villagers' access to clean water. However, the village administration and the village head found it challenging to monitor and calculate the fair distribution of clean water. This issue was addressed by implementing an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart water tank system. This automated system incorporates various sensors, including an ultrasonic sensor and a relay module, to control the water pump and fill the water tank. Additionally, a 4x4 keypad allows villagers to enter an access code that activates the solenoid valve and water flow sensor to measure the distributed water volume. The system can be remotely monitored via the Blynk application using internet access. The ESP8266 microcontroller serves as the data center and control unit. The test results show that the ultrasonic sensor has an average accuracy of 98.7% in measuring distance, while the flow meter sensor has an average accuracy of 98.3% in measuring water flow volume. This system can accurately and efficiently monitor water levels and water withdrawal, automating the water resource management process in the tank.

Authors:   The Institution of Structural Engineers
Published: August 2024

Post fix anchors are typically present when a modification is installed into a structure. This could be due to a late change or as part of a refurbishment. These anchors have been used to attach structural elements to concrete and masonry for many years and recently the technology behind them has become increasingly complex. Additionally, they are used in temporary and enabling works, fixings for barriers, balconies and handrails and for providing fixings to restraint straps in domestic construction. In response to this, we have developed a Technical Guidance Note that introduces post fix anchors in an attempt to provide some clarity around the multitude of options that can be presented to a designer required to specify anchors.

Challenges of Missing Data in Analyses of Aid Activity: The Case of US Aid Activity
Authors: Udvari Beáta , Kiss Gábor Dávid , Pontet Julianna
Published: August 2024

Analysing aid activities has been in the centre of academic research; nevertheless, it is demanding to conduct long-term time series analyses due to missing data. Although there are several methods available to overcome this challenge, their distortion effect may result in unpredicted impacts on aid allocation. Thus, this paper aims to analyse the long-term motivations of US aid allocation with panel regression models. Two methods of handling missing data were tested in order to answer the question whether there is a significant difference in the results or not. Results suggest that there are several tools in the hands of a researcher to overcome missing data problems without any distorting effects. Furthermore, results reinforce the idea that US aid allocation has mainly been motivated by its economic drivers (export possibilities) rather than by war or conflict fears in the long run.
