Published: December 2024

RESUMO Este estudo buscou compreender a trajetória de vida de mulheres negras em relação à escola e aos desafios e estratégias de enfrentamento do racismo no âmbito escolar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, cujos dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com mulheres pretas ou pardas, inseridas na educação de jovens e adultos (EJA), modalidade de ensino da rede pública no Brasil. Os dados foram analisados por intermédio de análise de conteúdo. Entre os achados, destacou-se o abandono da escola por falta de interesse e limitações referentes à assiduidade escolar, além da deficiência no conhecimento da história e legado da cultura afro-brasileira. Para que essas mulheres tenham suas histórias valorizadas crítica e respeitosamente é relevante o engajamento da comunidade escolar em dar voz e visibilidade às mulheres negras, trazendo o protagonismo dessas trajetórias, centrando e adequando o currículo, os materiais didáticos e os processos de formação de professores e da gestão escolar.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT The design of sewage treatment plants involving constructed wetland (CW) systems is a growing and complex demand, given the scarcity of data for supported decision-making. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the feasibility of implementing and operating various types of CWs for decentralized collective sewage treatment, utilizing an analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The evaluated CW modalities were: horizontal flow-constructed wetland (HFCW), vertical flow-constructed wetland (VFCW), and French system-constructed wetland (FSCW). The adopted methodology consisted of designing the three proposed typologies for a subdivision with an estimated population of 868 people; quantification of materials and labor required for implementation and operation over a 15-year lifespan, with the aid of the National System of Costs Survey and Indexes of Construction and Table of Compositions and Prices for Budgets compositions, and decision-making through an AHP, based on basic sustainability criteria: environmental, social, and economic. HFCW had the lowest implementation and operating costs, followed by FSCW and VFCW. Based on the AHP decision-making process, the economic criterion was attributed the greatest importance, 61%. The other criteria, environmental and social, had 27% and 12% of preference, respectively. The alternative that demonstrated greater feasibility due to its low cost of implementation and operation was the HFCW. However, due to the necessity of removing ammoniacal nitrogen to meet Brazil’s environmental regulations (20 mg L−1), the FSCW and VFCW modalities are the most indicated, as they allow nitrification. Furthermore, FSCW offers advantages over VFCW, due to less area demand, and has no need for primary-level treatment and a lower lifespan cost.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT The percentages of losses in water supply systems are alarming. Hydraulic modeling and simulation are widely used resources for evaluating network behavior and identifying better operating conditions and configurations. To this end, EPANET is a widely used software because of its open-source code and the possibility of programming in different languages. In this study, a methodology was proposed where two theoretical networks with different sizes and configurations were developed, but with pressures higher than the recommended range in the standard. The aim of the study was to apply and compare two algorithms developed in Python and coupled with EPANET: a random search and one involving evolutionary theory—genetic algorithms, aiming at aligning the network pressures within the range established in the standard. Nine scenarios of the GA were tested, varying recombination and mutation parameters. Both algorithms were able to adjust the network pressures to Brazilian standards, reducing the percentages of losses with relatively similar results. Among the studied scenarios, a greater influence of the mutation rate was observed in relation to the recombination rate, with lower losses in those with a mutation rate of 5%.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT This study investigates the calibration of the chlorine wall decay coefficient (Kw) in pipelines, a crucial parameter for ensuring the accuracy of water quality models in distribution networks. The developed methodology applies two methods based on artificial neural networks (ANNs): one that calibrates Kw for groups of similar pipelines (group-based ANN (G-ANN)) and another that performs individual calibration for each segment (segment-based ANN). These methods were tested and validated in different scenarios, varying both in the amount of observed data and in the parameter variation range used for generating the training and testing data. The results indicated that G-ANN presented lower error in scenarios with limited observed data, emerging as an efficient solution for calibration in contexts with low data availability. In contrast, the segment-based calibration approach showed greater potential in scenarios where the modeler has a wide range of information about the pipelines and chlorine concentrations at network nodes. In conclusion, this study provides a significant contribution to the improvement of Kw calibration techniques, offering more accurate tools for modeling water distribution networks.

Published: December 2024

Abstract The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic parameters and correlations of characteristics related to production and color in kale and to select the best genotypes based on REML/BLUP estimates. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized block design, with three replicates. The treatments consisted of 34 experimental kale clones. The parameters evaluated were: total leaf yield (TLY), number of commercial leaves (NCL), average leaf mass (ALM), number of shoots (NS), chlorophyll content (CC), and colorimetric patterns of luminosity (L), chroma (C), and hue (h) of the leaves. Genetic parameters, genotypic and phenotypic correlations, and genetic values were estimated. The kale genotypes UFLA 06, UFLA 14, UFLA 16, UFLA 22, and UFLA 34 have good productive characteristics and intense green color, with high heritability. The characteristics TLY, NCL, ALM, NS, CC, and colorimetric patterns of L and C present high heritability in kale. TLY shows a positive correlation with the NCL and the ALM in kale. The genotypes UFLA 02, UFLA 04, UFLA 13, UFLA 25, UFLA 31, and UFLA 32 stand out for their productive characteristics, but not in high levels of antioxidants. The NCL presents positive correlation with the NS, which does not benefit seed production.

Published: December 2024

Abstract The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic parameters of pecan (Carya illinoinensis) cultivars through mixed model analyses of data on vegetative growth, fruit production, and fruit quality traits. The study was conducted from 2021 to 2023, using the Barton, Desirable, Elliot, Mohawk, Jackson, Shoshoni, Stuart, and Success pecan cultivars, in the municipality of Santana do Livramento, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized. Each replicate was composed of ten plants, totaling 80 plots. Nut vegetative growth, production, and quality were evaluated. The influence of the genotype x environment interaction on production traits and nut quality was confirmed. However, these effects were not observed on vegetative growth. Production per plant and productivity per hectare exhibited positive correlations with production efficiency in relation to canopy volume. For the vegetative and production traits, broad-sense individual heritability is low, suggesting a strong environmental influence. However, for the fruit quality traits, heritability is medium to high, indicating a greater genetic contribution and, therefore, a greater potential for response to selection.

Abstract The objective this work was to evaluate the productive performance of fig tree cultivars in the production of green figs for industrialization in Brazil. The Brunswick, Mini Figo, Troyano, Roxo de Valinhos, Bêbara Branca, Lemon, Três Num Prato, and Pingo de Mel fig tree cultivars were evaluated. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks, with four blocks and eight treatments (fig tree cultivars) at a spacing of 3.0×1.5 m (2,222 plants per hectare). The experiment was conducted over two growing seasons (2022/2023 and 2023/2024). Plants were pruned during dormancy. After bud break, two secondary lateral shoots were maintained (12 productive shoots). Green figs were harvested twice a week, and the total number of fruits per harvest and the total harvest weight per plant were quantified. The average production per plant (kg) and estimated yield (Mg ha−1) were calculated for each growing season, as well as fruit dimensions, shoot length and final mass, and harvest duration. The cultivars showed differences in their productive performance. Cultivar Troyano yielded the greatest quantity of fruits and provided a greater production and estimated yield.

ABSTRACT Objective To estimate measles-mumps-rubella vaccination coverage, delay and loss to follow-up in children up to 24 months old living in Brazilian cities. Methods Surveys and questionnaires with a retrospective cohort of live births in 2017-2018, analyzing vaccination coverage and sociodemographic data of children and families, based on vaccination card records and interviews. Results Valid coverage of first dose was 90.0% (95%CI 88.9;91.0) and 81.1% for the second dose (95%CI 79.8;82.4). Delay for both doses was 23.2% (95%CI 21.9;24.5) and loss to follow-up was 10.8% (95%CI 9.9;11.8). Socioeconomic stratum A had the lowest vaccination coverage and the higher the child’s birth order, the lower the vaccination coverage for the second dose. Children whose mothers had 13 to 15 years of education had higher vaccination coverage. Conclusion Coverage did not meet the recommended target. Differentiated strategies to resolve difficulties in access, misinformation, and vaccination hesitancy will help improve vaccination coverage.

Published: December 2024

Algae play a vital role as primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, and understanding their diversity is crucial for ecosystem functioning. The present study conducted in the Periyar River, Kerala, presents a comprehensive exploration of periphytic and macroalgal communities. Over three years (2018-2020), algal samples were collected during different seasons, revealing 317 taxa from 132 genera. Green algal groups, particularly Zygnematophyceae and Chlorophyceae, were dominant, along with Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, and Euglenophyceae.
The study unveiled seasonal variations and regional distinctions in algal composition, reflecting the dynamic nature of this ecosystem. Furthermore, this paper discusses the thallus organization and substrate preferences of these algae, providing valuable insights into their ecological roles and adaptability in the Periyar River, ultimately contributing to a deeper understanding of this vital aquatic ecosystem.
Understanding the USA’s Support for Israel within the Context of Christian Zionism
Authors: Tuna Fatih
Published: December 2024

This article explores the impact of Christian Zionism on American foreign policy towards Israel and its implications for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Highlighting the recent Al-Aqsa Flood operation led by Hamas and the subsequent violence inflicted by Israel, the study reveals how these events have renewed international scrutiny of Zionism and its influence. Christian Zionists, integral to the broader pro-Israeli lobby in the USA, leverage their theological beliefs, rooted in dispensationalist interpretations, to support Israeli policies. Their influence, though significant, is not without limits. Despite their opposition to a two-state solution and efforts to block peace initiatives like the Oslo Accords and the Wye River Memorandum, the USA administration has occasionally pursued policies contrary to their wishes. This article argues that Christian Zionism is not a conspiracy theory but a substantial factor in shaping the USA support for Israel, driven by theological motivations rather than genuine affection for Jewish people. The study emphasizes the need for further research to understand the broader network of pro-Israeli actors and concludes that the Bible's influence on Anglo-American culture will likely continue to support Israel, despite its human rights violations.
Perspectivas locales sobre cambios climáticos e (in)movilidades humanas en el Ecuador rural

Published: December 2024

La migración es un fenómeno intensamente discutido en América Latina (OIM, 2019), ya que se relaciona con transformaciones socioambientales más amplias. En este contexto, especialmente las zonas rurales se consideran áreas de emigración, donde se producen profundas transformaciones (Bilsborrow, 2002; Grau y Aide, 2007; Gray, 2009). Mientras que en los estudios migratorios uno de los objetivos fundamentales es comprender las razones de estos movimientos, trabajos sobre las relaciones entre el ser humano y el medio ambiente ponen más atención en los rápidos cambios ambientales que se presentan en áreas rurales (Gray, 2009, p. 457).

A munka célja, hogy bemutassa a digitalizáció fontosságát és lehetőségeit a méhészetekben. Két alkalmazást, a Züminaplót és az ApiManagert mutatjuk be. Letöltést követően bal oldalt található meg a menü, amelyben rögzíthetőek az alapadatok és a méhészkedéskor tapasztaltak mindkét applikációban. Züminapló esetében a következő választási lehetőségek, adatok rögzíthetőek: telephelyek, kaptárok, mérleg, etetések, pörgetés, vándorlások, kezelések. Az ApiManagernél pedig a kezdőoldal, a méhész, a kaptárak, ellenőrzések, feladatok, a méhek élelme, a pergetési munkálatok, kezelések, tárolások. Az applikációk megfelelően működnek és gyors nyomonkövetést biztosítanak a méhészeti munka alkalmával. Véleményünk szerint népszerűsítésük fontos lenne, mert precízebb adatgyűjtést tesz lehetővé, ám a méhészek idősebb átlagéletkora miatt Magyarországon még kevéssé alkalmazottak.

ARANY JÁNOS örök értékű TOLDIJÁNAK kapcsán szinte mindenki előtt ismerősen cseng a nádifarkas neve, hiszen az említett mű címadó főszereplője kalandjai során egy alkalommal szembekerül ezzel a múlt homályába vesző ragadozóval is. Azonban, ha valaki korábban ennek a kutyafélének a mibenlétét akarta kinyomozni, komoly akadályokba ütközhetett még a szakemberek között is, amiben bizonyára szerepet játszottak az érzelmi motívumok is. Amint azonban lentebb látni fogjuk TOLDINAK a nádifarkassal való küzdelme minden bizonnyal csupán ARANY fantáziájának a szüleménye, mert a költemény forrásának számító ILOSVAI SELYMES PÉTER által megírt hasonló tárgyú műben szó sincsen sem nádifarkasról, sem a vele folytatott küzdelemről.

A vadgazdálkodásnak, ezen belül is a ragadozó gazdálkodásnak kiemelten fontos szerepe van a madárfajok állományainak megóvásában, fejlesztésében. Kritikus helyzetben lévő fajok (madár, emlős) megmentésében is kulcsszerepe lehet a ragadozó szabályozásnak (TAPPER, 2007). A fészekaljak, a fiatal egyedek elvesztése negatívan tudja befolyásolni a már amúgy is veszélyeztetett zsákmányfajok állományait. A vadászható predátorok (dúvad fajok) szabályozása a sikeres fajmegőrzési programok nélkülözhetetlen eleme kell, hogy legyen.

Isolating Stem Cells from Mouse Hair Follicles: A Tool for Regenerative Research v1
Authors: S Lisse Thomas
Published: December 2024

The hair follicle (HF) is a highly dynamicorgan that serves as an ideal model for studying adult stem cells (SCs). Thepermanent portion of the HF, known as the bulge, houses multipotent stem cellsthat play a crucial role in tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Thesebulge-derived stem cells can differentiate into various cell types, includinginterfollicular epidermis, sebaceous glands, and corneal epithelial cells,under appropriate conditions. Here, we present a detailed protocol for theisolation and enrichment of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) from mouse hairfollicles using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). This method employsspecific markers such as CD34 and integrin alpha 6 (α6) to reliably identifyand isolate HFSC populations. The protocol begins with the dissection andenzymatic digestion of mouse skin to release individual hair follicles,followed by preparation of a single-cell suspension. FACS is then utilized toseparate HFSCs based on marker expression, yielding a highly enriched cellpopulation suitable for downstream applications. These cells can be used for invitro studies to investigate mechanisms of stem cell multipotency,quiescence, and activation, as well as in vivo grafting models to studytheir regenerative potential.

A educação permanente é um importante método de conscientização dos profissionais de saúde sobre o correto descarte dos Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (RSS), mas estudos sobre seu impacto continuam escassos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever e avaliar o impacto de uma prática de educação hospitalar sobre os Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde. Utilizou-se como método um estudo quantitativo, experimental, do tipo ensaio de campo, que avaliou a produção de RSS antes e após uma intervenção do tipo capacitação para os trabalhadores de um Hospital Universitário localizado no Paraná, Brasil, entre os anos de 2021 e 2022. Foram coletados dados secundários do descarte mensal de RSS em quilogramas e número de paciente/dia mensal. Os dados foram tabulados e avaliados através do teste Mann-Whitney. Após a intervenção realizada, houve uma redução significativa de 67,34% na produção de RSS, sendo essa de 1,99 kg/paciente/dia no momento pré-intervenção e 0,65 kg/paciente/dia no momento pós-intervenção (p=0,04). Concluiu-se que a educação permanente se mostrou como uma prática efetiva para conscientização dos profissionais e redução significativa do montante de produção de RSS.

The article discusses the process of developing a geoinformation system reflecting the level of accessibility of financial services in the settlements of the region under consideration. Relevant GIS used in various countries and for a wide range of tasks are analyzed, for example, to display the location of medical schools in India, to select the location of solar power plants in Mecca, to analyze aspects of sustainable development of the Vologda Oblast of Russia. Some map constructors are also considered, their advantages and disadvantages are revealed. Based on the analyzed tools, the main criteria that the developed GIS should meet are formulated. The next part of the article describes the structure of the tool being developed, consisting of three levels of visualization and two blocks of data storage. The structure of the database for storing information about settlements is presented, and the block for storing coordinates of municipal boundaries is described. The process of creating a border drawing module based on two-dimensional arrays with geographical points, along which polylines are built, taking into account the map scale and map distortions vertically and horizontally, is described. The following is an analysis of the module for displaying the location of settlements based on a bubble diagram, in which latitude and longitude act as values along the X and Y axes, and the size is determined by the number of inhabitants. When describing the module for displaying the availability of financial instruments in settlements, it describes the possibilities to simulta­neously demonstrate the location of settlements, the level of financial accessibility in settlements, the presence or absence of specific financial infrastructure tools, municipal and regional borders. The main advantages of the developed product over similar ones are the ability to work in a completely offline mode without an Internet connection, maximum data detail, the ability to filter settlements by population. The developed GIS for visualization and analysis of the spatial distribution of financial services can help in planning the development of cities and regions.

Serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma (SEIC) and clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium (CCEC) belong to pathogenetic type II without evidence of hyperestrogenism, are often detected late in the course of the disease, and are characterized by an aggressive course. Currently, there is increasing interest in the role of local content and metabolism of steroid hormones in organs and tissues in various pathologies, including the development of malignant tumors.

   Purpose of the study. To determine the local level of sex hormones in patients with SEIC and CCEC.

   Patients and methods. The study included 21 patients with SEIC and 20 patients with CCEC. The control group consisted of 20 patients who had undergone surgical treatment for uterine myoma. All patients were treated at the National Medical Research Center for Oncology, Rostov‑on‑ Don, the Russian Federation Ministry of Health. The local levels of estrogens and androgens were determined in the tumor tissue, the perifocal zone, endometrial tissue unaffected by the tumor process, and the fallopian tube tissue in patients with SEIC and CCEC. In the control group, the local level of sex hormones was determined in intact 10 % homogenic endometrial tissue.

   Results. The data were analyzed, and the results demonstrated that the tumors and peritumoral tissues exhibited a depletion of estradiol (E2), a saturation of testosterone, and an extreme saturation of estriol (E3). The consequence of this imbalance was the predominance of fetal placental estrogen (E3), which was detected not only in the tumor tissue but also in distant parts of the endometrium and uterine tubes. In these regions, the concentration of E3 exceeded that of intact endometrium by a factor of more than five. A comparison of estrogen receptor (ER) levels revealed elevated levels in samples of the tumor, its perifocal zone, distant endometrium, and fallopian tubes. This finding indicated a predominance of ERα over ERβ.

   Conclusion. The local hormonal background of rare forms of non‑endometrioid endometrial carcinomas exhibits distinctive characteristics, including the replacement of the influence of classical estrogen (E2) by fetal, placental E3. Additionally, there is a notable prevalence of the REα type over REβ, along with hyperandrogenization of tissues, which culminates in the formation of a unique low‑differentiated tumor with pronounced biological aggressiveness.

X‑ray density of biological tissues is an important diagnostic parameter. Metal structures in the CT scanning area distort it, creating artifacts. Thus, hip joint endoprostheses (HJE) often complicate visualization of nearby soft tissue structures of the pelvic organs, which can interfere with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of changes when assessing the prevalence of the oncological process in this area. It is possible to correct these distortions using software methods, bringing the Hounsfield units (HU) values closer to the true ones.

   Purpose of the study. To conduct a visual (qualitative) and quantitative assessment of metal artifacts in CT images using software methods for their reduction.

   Materials and methods. A phantom was used for quantitative assessment: a plexiglass cylinder with a HJE in the center and test tubes with potassium hydrophosphate solution around it. The study was performed on a CT scanner with (FBP, iDose, iMR) reconstruction algorithms and O‑MAR technology for artifact suppression. The mean values and standard deviation of HU, the degree of susceptibility to artifacts were measured. Image quality was visually assessed using a five‑point Likert scale.

   Results. The use of the O‑MAR algorithm does not distort HU in the absence of an HJE and smoothens the HU distribution in its presence. Deviation from the specified values at the level of the HJE neck decreased from 32–36 HU without O‑MAR to ‑1.5 – ‑4.7 HU with O‑MAR. The minimum noise was observed for iMR with O‑MAR at the level of the neck (31.6 HU) and stem (6.2 HU) of the HJE, the maximum – for FBP without O‑MAR (77.0 and 33.2 HU, respectively). The quality assessment was best for iMR with O‑MAR (3 points), the worst for FBP without O‑MAR (1.4 points). It was also shown that O‑MAR forms additional artifacts near the HJE.

   Conclusion. Metal artifact reduction algorithms do not distort the X‑ray density without an artifact source. In the presence of metal structures, the algorithms reduce HU deviations and improve visualization, but they can form additional artifacts in the form of areas of increased and decreased density, so it is necessary to combine them with reconstruction without artifact reduction. To reduce the noise level, as well as to increase the contrast sensitivity, the use of model iterative reconstruction technology is optimal.
Capsular contracture after performing reconstructive plastic surgery in patients with breast cancer
Authors: Petrosyants S. V. , Ivanov D. V.
Published: December 2024

Reconstructive breast surgery, including the use of silicone endoprostheses after radical mastectomy, is an integral part of the comprehensive treatment of breast cancer patients. One of the serious long‑term complications of reconstructive surgery is capsular contracture (CC).

   Purpose of the study. To analyze the literature data on the etiopathogenesis of periprosthetic capsule (PC) defects and the possibilities of reducing the risk of CC after breast reconstructive surgery.

   Materials and methods. The literature was searched using PubMed, eLibrary, Cyberleninka databases. The following keywords were used: "breast reconstruction", "capsular contracture", "radiation therapy", "polyurethane", "breast implant", "mesh implant". Original studies, meta‑analyses, randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews were used.

   Results. The exact etiology of the development of CC has not yet been established. The main pathogenetic mechanism of CC development is chronic inflammation followed by the formation of capsular fibrosis. Radiation therapy significantly increases the risk of developing CC due to the development of fibrotic changes not only in the PC, but also the occurrence of fibrosis of the pectoralis major muscle. The frequency of CC is higher when using adjuvant radiation therapy, compared with neoadjuvant or no radiation therapy, as well as with dual‑plane reconstruction compared with pre‑pectoral placement of the endoprosthesis. The use of a polyurethane endoprosthesis in simultaneous pre‑pectoral breast reconstruction significantly reduces the risk of developing CC in the case of adjuvant radiation therapy, in comparison with textured endoprostheses. One of the ways to reduce the risk of developing CC in breast cancer can be considered the installation of mesh implants, which contributes to the augmentation of the integumentary tissues and improves the stability of the breast endoprosthesis in conditions of tissue deficiency.

   Conclusion. Simultaneous pre‑pectoral breast reconstruction based on polyurethane endoprosthesis and mesh implants can be considered as a promising technique for reducing the risk of developing CC. There is a positive trend towards reducing the risk of developing CC against the background of adjuvant radiation therapy. Further research is needed related to the reduction of the risk of developing CC.
