El objetivo es evaluar un seguimiento telemático (web o aplicación [app]) para pacientes con sobrepeso/obesidad y otros dos factores de riesgo cardiovascular: hipertensión arterial (HTA), dislipemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), sedentarismo, consumo tabáquico. Diseño: es un estudio de intervención con asignación aleatoria al grupo intervención (web o app) y al grupo control. Emplazamiento: centros de salud rurales y urbanos, docentes y no docentes, del Sector Zaragoza I. Participantes: 261 personas con índice de masa corporal (IMC) > 25 kg/m2 y otros dos factores de riesgo. Intervenciones: seguimiento de 18 meses con puntos de corte al inicio, 1, 6, 12 y 18 meses. Las mediciones principales son peso, tensión arterial, consumo tabáquico, eventos cardiovasculares, calidad de vida y bioquímica. Resultados: el grupo control finalizó el estudio en mayor proporción (79% versus 14%). El grupo control consiguió una pérdida del 8% de la mediana de peso al año y el grupo intervención un 5%. A los 6 meses, el grupo control logró disminuir el 7% la tensión arterial sistólica y el 5% la diastólica. La hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c) descendió un 1% en el grupo control y un 0,5% en el grupo intervención (test de Wilcoxon: 10; p = 0,089). El colesterol de lipoproteínas de baja densidad (cLDL) del grupo control descendió 9 mg/dL, y el del grupo intervención, 7 mg/dl (test de Wilcoxon: 1.089; p = 0,018). El hábito tabáquico disminuyó en todos los grupos (test de Wilcoxon: 21; p = 0,036). El grupo control presentó mayor prevalencia de eventos cardiovasculares. La calidad de vida mejoró en todos los grupos (test Wilcoxon: 979; p = 0,041). Conclusiones: las/los pacientes que acuden al centro de salud para un seguimiento de peso consiguen mejores resultados que si el seguimiento se hace de forma telemática.

A SURVEY OF HOW POLITICAL MISINFORMATION GUIDED WRONGLY INTO PEOPLE
Authors: Sharma Smriti
Published: October 2023

This study examined the relationship between the quality of information, literacy skills, social media use, and belief in false news. The findings suggest that high-quality information and literacy skills are associated with a lower belief in false news. The study also found that social media use is not a significant predictor of belief in false news. The results suggest that misinformation can be a threat to democracy and that factors such as the quality of information and literacy skills are important for countering it. The study did not find a significant difference in coordination maintenance between groups. The factors affecting the difficulty in tackling false news were not explored in this study. The study did not assess the level of corruption on a topic or discuss the reasons for creating fake news. Overall, the study highlights the importance of high-quality information and literacy skills in countering political misinformation.

The survey investigates the relationship between various factors and the spread of political misinformation. The study analyses 199 observations using several statistical methods, including Spearman rank correlation, paired t-test, multiple regression, and one-way ANOVA. The results suggest that there is a positive but weak correlation between high- quality information and the threat to democracy. The study also reveals that individuals with higher literacy skills and those who consume high-quality information may be less likely to believe false news. The findings further suggest that social media platforms may contribute to the difficulty in judging the quality of information. Additionally, the study reveals that corruption level varies depending on the topic. The study provides insights into the mechanics of political misinformation and the factors that contribute to its spread.

Published: October 2023

O presente estudo, objetivou avaliar os melhores parâmetros reacionais para obtenção do biodiesel etílico a partir da transesterificação do óleo de soja à temperatura ambiente. Foi realizado um planejamento fatorial 23, visando avaliar o efeito da quantidade de catalisador (KOH), razão molar álcool :óleo e tempo reacional no rendimento, acidez e densidade dos biodieseis obtidos. O planejamento fatorial resultou em 8 experimentos, realizados em repetições aleatórias. A quantidade de catalisador foi representada em três níveis, 1,5 g (nível mínimo), 1,75 g (central) e 2 g (nível máximo), variando com as seguintes razões molares, 8:1 (nível mínimo), 9:1 (central) e 10:1 (nível máximo) e com os respectivos tempos reacionais 40 min. (nível mínimo), 50 min. (central) e 60 min. (nível máximo). Cada fator foi utilizado em seu nível mínimo (-1), seu nível máximo (+1), eliminando o ponto central, sendo produzidos 16 biodieseis. Ao final, a análise de variância mostrou que o aumento da razão molar de 8:1 para 10:1 provoca aumento do rendimento se o fator quantidade de catalisador estiver no menor nível (1,5 g) à temperatura ambiente.

The objectives were to identify the perception of Brazilian consumers regarding the consumption of rice flour, as well as to generate information that fosters valorization of the rice production chain. A qualitative research was used, totaling 447 responses, characterizing as a convenience research, was applied via Google docs online form.  Steps performed were the sensory analysis of word association, presenting an image of rice flour as a stimulus and application of a closed structured questionnaire containing 18 questions, included questions about consumption and trade of rice flour and sociodemographic information. The volunteers participated by associating four words to the consumption of rice flour, accounting for 782 different words or terms. Eight dimensions were classified with categories related to the words with the greatest impact mentioned during the association. The dimension related to food was the most mentioned by the participants, followed by sensory attributes, curiosities, health, nutritional quality, gluten-free, positive feelings and negative feelings. Of the 18 factors explored by the questionnaire, four of them were identified as responsible for explaining 79.67% of the total common variance of the variables: Health, Attributes, Consumption and Marketing. These four factors are sufficient to develop production and marketing strategies in order to favor the consumption of rice flour. Thus, the methods used were consistent in showing the perception of consumers and potential buyers of rice flour and derived products. There is a strong association with celiac disease and gluten-free diets, suggesting that the consumer market is still mostly restricted to these groups.

Published: October 2023

Este estudo objetiva analisar os impactos das novas modalidades de trabalho, como o teletrabalho e o revezamento, nas percepções do sentido do trabalho para os empregados da Embrapa Amazônia Oriental no contexto da covid-19. Foi feita uma revisão da literatura sobre o tema e de documentos oficiais, e foram coletados dados qualitativos e quantitativos com a ferramenta Google Forms. Para a sistematização e a análise de dados, utilizaram-se estatísticas descritivas e análise de conteúdo. Participaram da pesquisa 196 empregados em 2020 e 158 em 2021, totalizando 402 entrevistados. Constatou-se que a adoção do teletrabalho e do revezamento de equipes impôs horários irregulares na jornada de trabalho, a qual inclui atividades concomitantes no lar e muitas horas nas redes sociais. Os sentimentos dos trabalhadores oscilaram entre tristeza e alegria, causando ansiedade e depressão. Identificaram-se, contudo, elementos positivos no teletrabalho: não precisar fazer deslocamentos, ter maior liberdade de horários, poder alimentar-se melhor e estar mais perto dos filhos. Quanto ao sentido do trabalho na pandemia, destaca-se o sentimento de obrigação pela preocupação com o sustento do trabalhador.

The use of correlations can identify the traits correlated with soybean grain yield. Therefore, the objective of this study is to use path analysis to examine how agronomic traits influence grain yield in soybeans, taking into account different doses and sources of organominerals used in cultivation. The experimental design used was randomized blocks arranged in a sub-subdivided plot with three replications. In the plots, the treatments consisted of two soybean cultivars (BMX Bônus IPRO and BMX Olimpo IPRO), and in the subplot, the treatments consisted of three phosphate fertilizers [two organomineral fertilizers manufactured and a phosphate fertilizer (simple superphosphate)]. The subplot used doses of 0 (control), 50, and 100 kg ha-1 of P2O5. At full flowering, the relative chlorophyll index was evaluated. At physiological maturity, plant height, first pod insertion height, number of stems, pod number, number of grains per pod, thousand-grain mass, and grain yield were evaluated. The plant height variable presented the greatest positive direct effect on the soybean yield cultivated using organomineral fertilizers.
Filosofia e bioética: discurso e prática
Authors: Bueno Marcelo Martins , Santana Wesley Espinosa , Abrunhosa Eduardo Castedo
Published: October 2023

Neste artigo pretendemos realizar uma reflexão sobre a filosofia na organização da sociedade moderna e, dentro dela, na evolução de conceitos como a bioética. Vivemos em tempo de uma crise ética nas relações sociais diante do interesse do lucro na lógica do capital e na ideologia neoliberal. Essa sociedade moderna está conduzida pela pós-modernidade, onde efemeridade, a velocidade, o individualismo, a visão utilitarista e determinista leva a vislumbrar a sensação de infinitude da produção, da escolha, do consumo e do que seria uma incerteza. Diante dessa condição, a biomídia, como a pós-verdade, traduzem uma comunicação superficial e líquida, desestruturada do processo histórico e da organização social. A filosofia, com a mãe de todas as ciências, adquire novos conceitos como a bioética para justificar a desvalorização da própria vida. Uma vida vivida em sua vida nua agambeniana por meio da presença do ser matável, marginalizado e indesejável que, diante do não-consumo ou sem-consumo, não se é dado a condição de cidadão de direitos. O Estado biopolítico, outrora o Estado hobbesiano que tinha na responsabilidade do rei de garantir a vida está agora conduzido pela lógica do capital no controle da maioria como permanência da sociedade do privilégio na ordem do caminho natural a ser seguido pela humanidade.

Pashu chocolate is the brand name of the urea molasses mineral block formulated by KVK, Panchmahal by using of urea, molasses, wheat bran, area specific mineral mixture, black salt, etc. for augment milk production and reproductive performance of dairy animals. A study was conducted to find out the efficacy of Pashu chocolate supplementation on productive and reproductive performance of milking buffalo and feed economics at farmers field in semi-arid zone, during the year 2018 to 2019. Twenty, lactating Mehsana breed of buffalo were randomly selected and distributed equally in to two groups ten each in a completely randomized design i.e., T1 (Control) and T2 (Pashu chocolate supplementations). In the feeding schedule of the present study T1 animals were given 5 to 6 kg dry roughage (sorghum/pearl millet) with green fodder (20 kg Napier-lucerne) added to 2.5 kg concentrate feed/ day, whereas an ad lib lick of UMMB (Pashu chocolate) was offered in the T2 Group in addition to the feeding schedule of T1 Group. An increase of 24.56% in milk i.e., from 6.23±0.40 to 7.76±0.54 L per day was recorded after comparing the outcomes of the two treatments. This significant (P˂0.05) increase in milk production indicates a positive impact of Pashu chocolate on the performance of milch buffaloes. Supplementation of Pashu chocolate as an ad lib lick reduced the postpartum estrus period and service period from 79.7±7.43 and 132.00±13.34 days to 54.3±4.41 and 81.60±7.54 days, respectively.

Authors: Turkar Sujata , Uppal Sanjeev Kumar , Randhawa Charanjeet Singh
Published: October 2023

The aim of present investigation was to evaluate the comparative therapeutic efficacy of isotonic (0.9%) saline solution (NSS) and hypertonic (7.5%) saline solution (HSS) along with supportive medical treatment in buffaloes suffered with forestomach impaction. A total of 26 buffaloes were undertaken in two groups. In Group 1, twenty buffaloes were infused with isotonic (0.9%) saline solution 20 ml/kg body weight and in Group 2 six buffaloes were infused with hypertonic saline solution (7.5%) 2 ml/kg. The physical parameters (heart rate and respiration rate) were decreased more significantly in Group 1 after treatment. Similar trend was observed in the pretreatment hematological parameters viz. Hb, PCV, TLC, neutrophil count and ESR after fluid therapy which was indicative of expansion of plasma volume. There was not much effect on rumen liquor parameters after fluid therapy. The biochemical profile (Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, total protein, glucose, globulin and fibrinogen) was more significantly declined in Group 1 after fluid therapy, whereas plasma sodium and chloride levels significantly increased, and plasma potassium level more significantly decreased in Group 2. The recovery rates were 60% and 17% respectively in Group 1 and Group 2. Thus, Isotonic (0.9%) saline solution appears to more effective in therapeutic management of forestomach impaction in buffaloes.

Published: October 2023

Farm-to-fork traceability has emerged as benchmark for meat quality assurance in the International meat market. India is the largest exporter of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) meat in the world; nevertheless, need for indigenous traceability system based quality assurance protocols to enable exports to the developed countries has been increasingly emphasized. To address this gap, a complete protocol for achieving traceability was conceptualized and a traceability database (www.livestocktraceindia.in) was developed to support the Indian buffalo meat sector. Traceability model and the database established was field tested. This article provides brief information of the traceability framework and the mode of its operation. The traceability database encompasses enrolment of animals, farms and abattoirs. Animal identification was achieved using ear tags with Internationally accepted identification numbers. Premises including farms and abattoirs were identified using unique pin code based system. Provision was given to end user to retrieve information and trace back the origin of meat using the database’s retrieval system.

Las colecciones biológicas juegan un papel importante para el conocimiento de la biodiversidad, debido que son fuentes primarias de información, los lepidópteros son un orden megadiverso y Colombia es uno de los países que presenta la mayor diversidad de este taxón con aproximadamente 3.642 especies (Rhopalocera) registradas hasta el momento. El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar la conservación de los ejemplares de Rhopalocera depositados en el Museo Laboratorio de Entomología de la Universidad del Tolima, los cuales fueron identificados y sistematizados. Además, se realizó el valor temporal, la cobertura geográfica, el perfil de organización, el índice de salud y las prioridades de gestión del MEN- UT, con respecto a este grupo de insectos. Se identificaron 695 individuos pertenecientes a 229 especies, 137 géneros, 20 subfamilias y seis familias, provenientes de nueve departamentos, donde el 95,54% de los registros corresponde al Tolima. Las especies más abundantes en la colección fueron Danaus gilippus (Cramer, 1775) seguida de Heliconius eleuchia (Hewitson,1854). En cuanto al perfil organizacional se encuentra un alto porcentaje de ejemplares entre el quinto y el sexto nivel; el índice de salud también presenta un alto número de individuos en el nivel cinco. Se registraron 30 individuos que presentan más de 50 años en la colección y 21 nuevos registros para el departamento del Tolima. Estos resultados refuerzan la importancia de las colecciones biológicas para conservar y conocer la diversidad del país.

„Spannung ist, wenn’s spannend ist“ (Vorderer, 1994). Über viele Jahre hinweg prägte dieser Satz sinngemäß die empirische Erforschung des – für das Unterhal- tungserleben zentrale – Konstrukts Spannungserleben. Postrezeptiv erfasst, wurde Span- nung in der Regel eindimensional oder als eine Subdimension anderer Konstrukte operati- onalisiert. Demgegenüber steht indes die theoretische Beschreibung des Konstrukts als komplexes, vielschichtiges und mehrdimensionales Phänomen. Dem damit vorliegenden Desiderat empirischer Spannungsmessung nimmt sich der vorliegende Beitrag an. Basie- rend auf einer umfangreichen Literatursichtung wird Spannung auf theoretischer Ebene definiert als subjektives Rezeptionserleben, welches sich durch die drei Merkmalsdimensi- onen a) Präferenz für einen Handlungsausgang, b) Unsicherheit und c) Risiko für den:die Protagonist:in konstituiert. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Definition wird die Skala Span- nungserleben (SSE) präsentiert, die im Rahmen zweier explorativer Vorstudien und einer Hauptstudie (EFA) zunächst entwickelt und in einer weiteren Hauptstudie konfirmatorisch getestet (CFA) sowie mithilfe eines nomologischen Netzwerks validiert wurde.
Abnormal Movements Resembling Tic Disorder in a Patient with Schizophrenia: A Case Report
Authors: Kamali Ardakani Sara , Maroufi Azad
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Since many movement disorders are associated with schizophrenia, it is important to distinguish various motor manifestations of the disease itself from associated abnormal movements. Case Presentation: We present a 35-year-old single man with schizophrenia who was admitted for seizure-like tics. The disease started 7 years earlier with psychotic manifestations, including persecutory delusion, negative symptoms, and impaired function. About a year ago, movements in the limbs, abdomen, and spine (similar to those seen in tonic-clonic seizures) were added to the patient’s symptoms, lasting for a few seconds to a few minutes. After some time, these movements were accompanied by expressing words and phrases that had sexual content. Due to the exacerbation of these attacks, the patient was admitted to the hospital. He was unable to explain the cause of these movements, and differential diagnoses included stereotype, extrapyramidal effects of antipsychotic drugs (particularly tardive dyskinesia), and temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the patient had no history of epilepsy. Urine screening for illegal substances, electroencephalography (EEG), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neurological counseling were all normal. The adverse effects of medications were ruled out because the patient had taken antipsychotics very irregularly and in low doses. A short time after starting 4 mg of oral risperidone (as the main treatment), the patient showed better cooperation and was able to describe his symptoms in more detail. He explained that a stranger or a copy of himself occasionally compelled him to do the movements, and if he refused to do it, he would be punished by them. Ten days after continuing treatment and starting weekly flupentixol decanoate, the motor symptoms improved significantly, and the patient was discharged after 3 weeks. Conclusions: This case presentation emphasizes the importance of accurate clarification of the nature of signs and symptoms in patients with mental disorders, which seems to be crucial in making a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Integració d'eines i mètodes de la mesura de la sostenibilitat d'un territori en un sistema d'informació
Authors:   , Bofill Abelló Jordi
Published: October 2023

Es realitza una recerca aplicada en els camps de la mesura de la sostenibilitat d’un territori, i dels sistemes d’informació, estudiats com un sistema complex. D’una banda, s’analitzen les eines i els mètodes aplicats en els estudis de sostenibilitat d’un territori (variables, indicadors, models conceptuals,
etc.) i, d’altre banda, els conceptes i les eines informàtiques actuals. La tesi amplia els conceptes de variables i valors, i estableix mètodes per integrar la informació estructural d’un territori, així com per resoldre el càlcul de valors de variables derivades, mitjançant una sintaxis que permet descriure i executar fórmules i programes de càlcul. Es desenvolupa un disseny de la base d’informació, amb els tipus d’entitats que intervenen (territori, models conceptuals, variables, valors i fonts de dades) i alguns dels processos principals, enfocada a grups multidisciplinaris de recerca. Es presenten els prototips desenvolupats que s’han aplicat a casos pràctics, utilitzant software lliure.

The questions raised that are the basis of the research and the source that feeds the objectives are:
1. Is it possible to define a data model to undertake sustainability studies for territories with different types of organization, initially unknown?
2. Can data evolve incorporating new requirements and techniques, so it is re-usable for subsequent follow up studies?
3. Can the system incorporate views of researchers that come from different research areas, possibly with conflicting interests?
Three knowledge areas are involved: sustainability; data, metadata and ontologies, and information systems.
The objectives of the research are:
- Conceptual definition of variables and values in the area of sustainability.
- Establish a variables calculation and agregation method.
- Definition of an integrated data structure.
- Integration of conceptual models in the data structure.
- Validation of the proposed methodology through prototyping.
These objectives fit into the following main areas of concern: (a) sustainability measurement, calculation of indicators and indexes, territorial organization and free software. The methodology used is to collect and analyze the current status of each area, the vision as post-normal science, systems thinking and prototype development.
The thesis shows the relationships between territory, data and conceptual models, and also proposes methods that allow them to work together. It defines the concepts of variables and values, and their relationship with the values ¿¿of conceptual models (reference values, thresholds ...). Pointed out contributing methods:
- Define and integrate wide variety of organizational structures.
- Define and calculate any type of indicator, index or variable.
- Use conceptual frameworks concurrently with different sustainability criteria.
- Prototypes are developed using free software

Within the paradigm of sustainability, this thesis aims to provide complementary views to the conventional engineering in order to put forward tools that facilitate, on the one hand the search of solutions to improve the design of high-voltage power lines , and on the other hand to optimize their networks. As per the improving of a high-voltage line design, Scaling Laws and Gravity Models are used to provide new variables to estimate calculation of the electricity demand of a certain area. This article proposes modifications to the vector diagram of a transmission line operation, known as a Perrine-Baum Diagram to incorporate the new variables proposed with the objective to use this diagram as an application tool in real projects. Regarding the electric power networks, this work applies the analysis tools provided by the theories of Complex Networks to study its topology and spatial features in order to suggest more optimal designs.

Dins del paradigma de la sostenibilitat, aquesta tesi pretén aportar punts de vista complementaris als de l’enginyeria convencional amb l’objectiu de proposar eines que facilitin per una banda, trobar solucions per millorar el disseny de les línies elèctriques d’alta tensió, i per una altra optimitzar les xarxes constituïdes per aquestes. Pel que fa a la millora del disseny d’una línia d’alta tensió, s’han utilitzat les teories de les Lleis d’Escala i els Models Gravitacionals per aportar noves variables als càlculs de previsió de demanda elèctrica d’una regió. S’han proposat modificacions al diagrama vectorial de funcionament d’una línia elèctrica, conegut com a Diagrama Perrine-Baum, per incorporar les noves variables
proposades amb l’objectiu que aquest diagrama pugui ser una eina d’aplicació en projectes reals. Pel que fa a les xarxes elèctriques s’han aplicat les eines d’anàlisi aportades per les teories de Xarxes Complexes per estudiar la seva topologia i les característiques espacials, amb l’objectiu de proposar dissenys més òptims.

Intelligence gathering is an essential function for governments, security agencies, and organizations worldwide. It involves the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information critical to decision-making, security, and strategic planning. In this age of information abundance, the field of intelligence gathering has evolved, with knowledge engineering playing a pivotal role in ensuring efficient and effective information management and analysis. A process of intelligence gathering begins when a user enters a query into the system. In knowledge engineering, intelligence gathering consists in finding information from structured and unstructured sources in a way that must represent knowledge in a way that facilitates inference. This essay explores the significance of knowledge engineering in intelligence gathering, highlighting its applications, challenges, and future prospects.
