Pastorale della salute ed alcune responsabilità sociali della medicina
Authors: Antico Leonardo
Published: April 2022

Di fronte al diffondersi di un concetto di qualità della vita ristretto alle capacità economiche, alla efficienza fisica e alla godibilità della vita, è necessario che la scienza medica si assuma il compito di proporre una visione globale della persona nella sua unità di mente e di corpo. Da ciò deriva, secondo l'Autore, una "responabilità sociale" della medicina, chiamata a farsi carico del recupero di un equilibrio dinamico tra corpo, psiche e spirito della persona. ln ciò un ruolo determinante possono svolgere le Università, curando una più specifica preparazione dei medici di medicina generale e di veri specialisti, e disponendo lo studio e l'insegnamento circa le cause di morte prematura e inabilità (stupefacenti, fumo, incidenti sul lavoro, ecc.) e circa l'invecchiamento della popolazione, le affezioni croniche, l'assistenza domiciliare.
Pornografia nei mass-media. In margine a un recente documento del Magistero cattolico
Authors: Fucek Ivan
Published: April 2022

L'autore affronta il problema della pornografia e violenza nei mezzi di comunicazione, riferendosi in particolare a un recente documento del Pontificio Consiglio delle Comunicazioni Sociali della Chiesa Cattolica. Dall'esame, accuratamente fatto con metodo induttivo, emergono parecchi elementi paradigmatici, che vengono gradualmente organizzati in tre punti: 1. Verso un modello etico (intuendo il problema nel vasto contesto storico, nella mentalità conflittuale di oggi, nel segnale d'allarme espresso dal documento); 2. Modelli etici non appropriati ovvero indirettamente rifiutati (funzionalità ottimale, tolleranza e legislazione, conformismo e soddisfazione, rinuncia o autolimitazione); 3. Modelli etici consigliabili, che sottolineano l'importanza del principio del dialogo e di due criteri, cioè del bene personale e del bene comune.

Published: April 2022

Objective:

To evaluate the antinociceptive activity of perillyl acetate in mice and in silico simulations.

Methods:

The vehicle, perillyl acetate (100, 150 and/or 200 mg/ kg, i.p.), diazepam (2 mg/kg, i.p.) or morphine (6 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered to mice, respectively. Rotarod test, acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing, formalin-induced nociception, hot plate test, and tail-flick test were performed. Opioid receptors-involvement in perillyl acetate antinociceptive effect was also investigated.

Results:

Perillyl acetate did not affect the motor coordination of mice. However, it reduced the number of acetic acid-induced abdominal twitches and licking times in the formalin test. There was an increase of latency time in the tail-flick test of 30 and 60 minutes. Pretreatment with naloxone reversed the antinociceptive effect of perillyl acetate (200 mg/kg). In silico analysis demonstrated that perillyl acetate could bind to μ-opioid receptors.

Conclusions:

Perillyl acetate has antinociceptive effect at the spinal level in animal nociception models, without affecting the locomotor integrity and possibly through μ-opioid receptors. In silico studies have suggested that perillyl acetate can act as a μ-opioid receptor agonist.

Published: April 2022

Microalga Chlorella vulgaris was cultured in different concentrations of normal molasses medium (NMM0.5 g/l, NMM1.0 g/l, and NMM1.5 g/l) to evaluate growth performance of the sugar mill byproduct as a low cost culture media and Bold basal medium (BBM) as control. Maximum growth of Chlorella vulgaris was found in NMM 1.0 g/l on 8th day of the culture followed by BBM, NMM 0.5 g/l and NMM 1.5 g/l. Similar findings were also observed in determining chlorophyll a content and optical density of C. vulgaris. Maximum cell growths 191.88 (Χ 105)/mL, chlorophyll a content 10.60 (mg/l) and optical density 2.15 were recorded in NMM1.0 g/l. Maximum SGR of cell was determined 0.56 (mg/day) grown in NMM1.0 g/l followed by 0.52, 0.52 and 0.48 (mg/day) in BBM, NMM0.5 g/l and NMM1.5 g/l, respectively. Chlorophyll a content and total biomass of Chlorella vulgaris followed the similar trend. Protein (46.49%) and lipid (14.18%) of C. vulgaris was detected significantly higher (P<0.01) in NMM1.0 g/l than that grown in BBM and other concentrations of NMM. The growth performance of the investigating molasses medium (NMM1.0 g/l) indicates that the molasses may be a good low cost culture medium ingredient source for C. vulgaris or any other microalga species.

Published: April 2022

The landscapes and the memory of the landscapes are evolving with natural and human-centered activities. In some places, landscapes continue to reveal their memory ecologically, socially, and culturally. On the other hand, in some places, landscapes lose their ecologic and socio-cultural archive as a result of globalization. This issue causes to emerge fragile landscapes according to lack of water resources, global warming, a decrease in biodiversity. Preserving the memory of landscapes and using it in the practice of landscape is a deeply crucial issue. The paper tries to answer two questions: How can landscape memory be used in design education? How can a research-based design studio pedagogy be conducted on this approach? This paper focuses on the research-based design approach in landscape architecture education to decode and recode the memory of the landscapes in the design process. ITU Landscape Architecture Department 2019-2020 Fall Semester Landscape Design Studio I-II, which is the case study of the research, worked in Savur, Mardin. The study area provides unexpected landscape carpet including browns and greens together in the valleys of the region that have a rich social and ecological structure. The methodological process of the studio was based on the three approaches which are integrated into each other: The Landscape Memory Model, Action-based Design Studio, and Research-based Design Studio. The model provides a guide for reading the memory of the landscape with various memory codes hidden under the visible and invisible values of it. This core process is used by the students for understanding the cultural and ecological values of the study area and implementing them into the design process. The action-based studio approach allows the tutors to find the problematic points in the design process of each student and resolve them in a positive way. Covering these two approaches, the research-based design studio expresses the discovery of the knowledge through a strong research process. The results are as followed: Implementing a research-based process ensured a place-based and innovative perspective to shape a design concept. Using the pre-specified landscape memory model empowered the research phase and helped students to analyze and discern the place with their own perceptions. Action-based flow allowed the instructors to leave the conventional studio performing and helped to use in-situ (special to the studio) instructing techniques within the semester. This paper may be influential for especially landscape design studios and relocate conventional studio approaches with more flexible and progressive techniques to understand the place and beyond.

Published: April 2022

Extreme weather events, sea level rise and intensified tsunamis as causes of climate change are becoming major threats for coastal cities. Istanbul, one of the most populated built-up coastal cities in the world, is prone to urban, coastal, and riverine flooding according to studies. Spatial design measurements preparing the urban waterfronts for the consequences of hazardous flooding are adopted in several cities as part of their urban resilience strategies. This paper focuses on physical measurements to adapt Istanbul to the effects of coastal flooding that is neglected so far in urban agenda. In this regard, the paper aims to develop site specific spatial design proposals as possible measurements to increase Istanbul’s waterfronts capacity for an effective flood resilience approach in case of storm events and tsunami intensified through climate change. To achieve this, status analysis and spatial configuration of possible design measures for Istanbul waterfront in a representative study area at neighborhood scale are introduced. To answer how much the waterfronts are at risk and how spatially adaptive strategies can be implemented in the current situation following flood resilience approach, site specific spatial analysis and a strategic design framework are developed. Since a comprehensive district-based guideline for spatial adaptation is currently not embedded in the urban agenda of flood management in Istanbul, this study promotes preparation of multiple guidelines adopting contemporary design measures in flood management for the entire city’s waterfronts by proposing one for Kadiköy.

Augmented reality features on smartphones have changed online consumer shopping activities. This allows consumers to try various cosmetic product variants virtually anywhere and anytime. Augmented reality is a new technology that provides convenience and experience for customers online to buy cosmetics online and try products without having to remove makeup. This study aims to examine the effect of independent variables on a dependent variable, with mediating variables. The population of this study is users of the virtual product trial feature who have purchased cosmetic products online aged 17–50 years in Indonesia, with a sample of 200 respondents. This research used path analysis, with the results showing that perceived ease of use affects trust, customer experience affects customer satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and customer satisfaction affects repurchase intention. However, trust does not affect repurchase intention. Based on these results, it is recommended that companies that provide product trial features adopt augmented mobile reality to pay attention to the convenience and benefits and improve the quality of the shopping experience.

Published: April 2022

Posyandu is a monthly routine activity designed to monitor the weight gain of toddlers by using the "Menuju Sehat" (KMS) card, providing nutrition counseling, and providing basic health services (immunization and diarrhea control). Reminder Message is a message that helps someone to remember something. Reminders can be more useful when contextual information is used to present information at the right time and in the right place. Reminder messages can be used to remind mothers of toddlers to schedule visits to their children's posyandu and increase the compliance of mothers with toddlers to posyandu. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of reminder messages on the compliance of mothers with toddlers visiting the posyandu in the working area of the Malaimsimsa Health Center Sorong City in 2021. Methods: The research design is a quasi-experimental approach with a one group pre-post test design. Sampling with purposive sampling technique, as many as 30 respondents consisting of 15 mothers and 15 toddlers. Data analysis was tested by Wilcoxon test. Results: there was an increase in the compliance of mothers toddlers to the posyandu where the p-value was 0.002 (<0.05). Conclusion: reminder messages are effective in increasing compliance with visits by mothers toddlers visit to posyandu.

Authors: Falloon O’Neil C. , Mujaffar Saheeda , Minott Donna
Published: April 2022

Ackee seeds are a major waste of the ackee canning industry. The seeds bio-accumulate the toxin hypoglycin but are also a potential source of protein. The objective of this study was to produce a protein isolate from the ackee seed and determine the chemical and functional properties of the isolate. Proteins were extracted from the defatted ackee seed flour using sodium borate buffer (pH 10.0, 50 mM) and aqueous ethanol (75% v/v). The protein isolate was then dried under vacuum and milled into a powder. The ackee seed protein isolate contained low molecular weight proteins comprising principally glutamic acid, arginine, glycine and aspartic acid with hypoglycin content within regulatory limits. Ackee seed protein powder, in comparison to soy protein isolate, demonstrated high solubility, formed stable emulsions and demonstrated good foaming properties, particularly at acidic pH values, making it suitable for use in acidic foods such as fruit juices, beverages and yoghurts. The purity (g protein/100 g isolate) of the ackee seed protein isolate was found to be lower than that of the commercial soybean protein isolate while higher quantities of fat and ash were present in the soybean protein isolate. The water and oil absorption capacities (g/g isolate) of ackee seed protein were lower than those of the commercial soybean protein isolate. Hypoglycin content in the ackee seed protein isolate was determined to be below the commercial standard for ackee products.

Solar thermal storage systems (STSS) are renewable energy systems that provide a continuous, controllable source of heat for many applications. The inherent variability of solar insolation poses a challenge to the use of direct solar power for continuous operations. A dynamic non-linear model of the STSS was initialised via a steady state analysis and verified by drying 1000 kg of cocoa beans per batch from 60% to 8% moisture content. Ambient temperature and insolation data for Trinidad in 2017 were used as inputs. This was achieved by modifying flow rates, varying aspect ratio of the storage tank, and observing their effect on storage tank temperature profiles and drying air temperatures. The steady state analysis determined the tank volume as 12.57 m3 and a required mass airflow rate of 1020 kg/h. A dynamic model of the STSS revealed an optimal tank aspect ratio of 2:4 m (D: H) and that three AE-40 solar collectors were sufficient. The effect of the circulation rate between the storage tank and solar collectors on energy storage was found to be negligible. The need for temperature control was demonstrated and a control strategy developed. A pilot plant was built using recommended specifications, albeit without temperature control. As predicted, drying was more than sufficient, but poor control led to burnt cocoa beans. The application of this work extends well beyond the cocoa bean test case, and the open-source models built can be applied to optimise the design of any solar heating application.
Productivity Modelling: A Health Systems Focus in Small Island Developing States
Authors: Ellis Ruel L.A. , Mohammed Nishanie
Published: April 2022

This paper explores the various dimensions of measuring productivity in health systems in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The authors seek to unearth the difficulties which arise when measuring the productivity in these systems, identifying the various forms of productivity which are applicable to health systems and determining the best means of measuring productivity in these health systems. The findings show that the development of partial productivity measures is difficult, but it is best for decision making and improvement of performance of the health systems. The paper concludes by proposing the use of a composite measure, Ci = α1 Pi1 + α2 Pi2 +…. + Σi αj Pij which is based on the partial productivity measures as a more robust measure of productivity in the health systems in SIDS. The overall productivity of elements of the health system, or the entre health system itself, can be measured, monitored and disaggregated for identifying areas for productivity improvement through management intervention.
Climate Change Adaptation Planning in Selected Caribbean Countries: Is Enough Being Done?
Authors: Casey-Lee Virgil Christian , Nathai-Balkissoon Marcia , Fai Pun Kit
Published: April 2022

The climate is changing, and sustainable adaptation measures are required to meet the resulting challenges. Several effects linked to climate change can be highly disruptive, such as rising sea levels and coastal reef destruction. The severity of the impact and capacity to adapt to the effects of climate change is unevenly distributed at various spatial levels. The Caribbean is more vulnerable to climate change than other regions. There is a need to plan strategically in managing the multiple consequences of climate change. This study evaluates the synergies between adaptation plans and policies and guidelines in climate change adaptation. It attempts to audit the national adaptation planning documents in climate change developed by government agencies to cope with the challenges of climate change among respective countries. The study explores the factors underlying observed discrepancies and performance shortcomings and utilises information from a review of research literature to contextualise critical findings in adaptation measures and research. Synthesising the determinants and barriers would aid with closing performance gaps. The study concludes by providing evidence-based recommendations that shed light on the design and planning for sustainable adaptation measures in developing nations of the Caribbean.

Published: April 2022

This study reported characterisation of acid-soluble collagen from the skin of freshwater catfish (Clarias gariepinus) by Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX). Amino acid composition and denaturation temperature of the collagen were determined. Acid soluble collagen (ASC) from the skin of C. gariepinus produced a comparatively yield of 2.38% with all amide functional groups (Amide A, B, I, II and III) visible in the FTIR spectrum suggesting the intactness of triple helical structure of the collagen. The SEM of C. glariepinus, shows a mono-fibrillated irregularly arranged crystalline surface material having 24.46 % carbon, 11.72 % oxygen and 9.40 % nitrogen. The abundance of amino acids follows glycine > arginine > proline > alanine indicating the integrity of collagen and a non-disruptive method of extraction. The denaturation temperature (Td) of ASC was about 30 °C implying its usefulness in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Published: April 2022

As the cocoa industry continues to grow, there is an increasing need for greater efficiency and higher levels of quality in all areas. The objective assessment of pod stem cut quality is one such critical area, as it not only directly impacts productivity but wider industry economics. Despite this, and the significance of cut quality in other agricultural applications, there is little done in the area of developing an objective and reliable assessment method. This work proposes, develops and tests a Fourier based image processing approach for assessing cut quality. The proposed Fourier Peak Index (FPI) method is implemented in MATLAB 2013 via a series of algorithms. Further, a windowed FPI (WFPI) is also developed and implemented in the same environment. Both methods are tested using a set of 40 images, comprising of 10 reference images, 15 poor cut images and 15 good cut images. The results obtained showed that the FPI method had a 93% accuracy in categorising good cuts, 60% accuracy in categorising poor cuts and an overall accuracy of approximately 77%. It was particularly noted that poor cuts with long, smooth excess bark material attached to the stems, were poorly categorised by the FPI method. Additionally, the method’s effectiveness was found to be significantly influenced by image lighting, as this determined the amount of data loss during the image binarisation step. Notwithstanding, the WFPI method was found to be effective in categorising the images that were incorrectly categorised by the FPI method. The combined efforts of both methods had the potential to increase detection and categorisation accuracy to a maximum of 97%
