Authors: Abdullaiev R.Ya. , Voronzhev I.A. , Abdullaiev R.R. , Kolomiichenko Yu.A.
Published: August 2023

Background. Degenerative changes of the vertebral-motor segment occupy an important place among the causes of cervicogenic headache, neck pain with radiation to the shoulder and arm, noise in the head, dizziness. The same symptoms are often found in vertebral artery syndrome, which is a set of disorders of vertebral-basilar dynamics. Dopplerography makes it possible to obtain quantitative parameters of blood flow in the vertebral arteries, thereby assessing the level of pathological changes in blood flow.

Purpose. Dopplerographic assessment of blood flow parameters in vertebral arteries in patients with herniated cervical intervertebral discs using functional tests.

Materials and methods. An analysis of the results of dopplerography of the vertebral arteries in 42 young patients with herniated cervical intervertebral discs was carried out. Peak systolic velocity (Vs), end-diastolic velocity (Vd), indices of peripheral resistance (RI) and pulsatility (PI), minute volume of blood flow (HOK – Vvol) in the second segment of the VA at the C2-C3 level were determined at functional prob.

Results and discussion. With a left-sided hernia, the value of Vs in the left VA during contralateral head rotation was 34.1 ± 2.9 cm/s, RI – 0.71 ± 0.03, PI – 1.04 ± 0.06, HOC – 85 ± 9 ml/min, and in the comparison group – 45.3 ± 3.8 cm/s, 0.59 ± 0.02, 0.85 ± 0.04, 118±13 ml/min, respectively. In patients with a right-sided hernia, Vs in the right VA during contralateral head rotation was 32.6 ± 3.2 cm/s, RI – 0.72 ± 0.03, PI – 1.03 ± 0.06, COC – 83 ± 8 ml/min, and in the comparison group – 44.8 ± 4.1 cm/s, 0.60 ± 0.02, 0.87 ± 0.04, 117 ± 12 ml/min, respectively. The difference between Doppler blood flow parameters obtained during contralateral head rotation in patients with disc herniation and the comparison group (persons without disc herniation) was significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusion.Hemodynamically significant disruption of blood flow in the vertebral artery occurs when the paramedian and posterolateral hernia is localized on the side of the same name during head rotation to the opposite side. These violations consist in a significant decrease in systolic speed and minute volume of blood flow, in an increase in indices of resistance and pulsatility compared to persons without disc herniation.
IL-6 and TGF-β as markers of air-blood barrier damage in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: сlinical and prognostic aspects
Authors: Makieieva N.I. , Koval V.A.
Published: August 2023

Background. Damage markers of blood-air barrier are important for studding pathological process in lungs in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Purpose is to analyses pulmonary complications and to assess IL-6 and TGF-β levels in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in children with ALL and its prognostic value.

Materials and Methods. 40 children with ALL aged 6–17 years were examined. 1st group included newly diagnosed ALL (n = 18). 2nd group involved ALL survivors who had completed course of ALL IC BFM 2009 protocols (n = 22). The control group consisted of 15 healthy children. The levels of IL-6 and TGF- β in the EBC were analyzed by ELISA.

Results and discussion. Pulmonary complications presented in 82.5% of children with ALL during chemotherapy and in 15.8% of ALL survivors. IL-6 and TGF-β levels in EBC were significantly higher in both ALL groups than control: IL-6 p1-C = 0,000001; p2-C = 0,000000; TGF-β p1-C = 0.000014; p2-C = 0.009364. 1st group had higher levels of IL-6 and TGF-β in the EBC than 2nd group: IL-6 p1-2 = 0,000000; TGF-β p1-2 = 0.000141. There was a positive correlation between IL-6 and TGF-β levels (r = 0.681176, p = 0.000001). According to ROC analysis, IL-6 level in EBC collected during Protocol 1 > 47.64 pg/ml can be prognostic for pulmonary complications during chemotherapy (AUC 0.875; Sensitivity 75.0%; Specificity 100,0%). Level of IL-6 > 49.96 pg/ml can predict pneumonia during chemotherapy (AUC 0,883; Sensitivity 100.00%; Specificity 81.82%). IL-6 level after the total course of chemotherapy > 23.64 pg/ml can predict pulmonary complications in ALL survivors (AUC 0.819; Sensitivity 75.00%; Specificity 81.82%). TGF-β level in EBC after the completion of chemotherapy > 19.93 pg/ml can be prognostic for pulmonary complications in ALL survivors (AUC 0.896; Sensitivity 100.00%; Specificity 77.78%).

Conclusions. IL-6 and TGF-β levels in EBC can be prognostic for pulmonary complications in children with ALL.

Government Intervention in Employment in Indonesia Based on Welfare State Theory
Authors: Marbun Rika Jamin , Hasibuan Lidya Rahmadani
Published: August 2023

The emergence of the theory of the welfare state provides wider intervention to the state, in this case the government, especially in seeking the welfare of society, including in terms of employment. The Indonesian Constitution affirms philosophically that promoting public welfare is the responsibility of the government so that its role in employment is very much needed. The relationship between workers/laborers and employers arises from existence of a working agreement. The nature of the prevailing work assention is decided by the boss straightforwardly putting the position of the worker/laborer as the frail party. Therefore, even though at first the employment relationship only involved workers/laborers and employers, it needs to be regulated and supervised by the government as a form of protection for workers/laborers who are always in a disadvantageous position. The presence of the government as the maker and implementer and supervisor of employment policies is a form of implementation and development of welfare state concept. This concept emphasizes that the state does not only maintain law and order but is mindful for looking for the welfare of the individuals. The presence of the government as the maker and implementer and supervisor of employment policies is a form of implementation and development of the concept of the Welfare State. This concept emphasizes that the state does not only maintain law and order but is responsible for seeking the welfare of the people. The presence of the government as the maker and implementer and supervisor of employment policies is a form of implementation and development of the concept of the Welfare State. This concept emphasizes that the state does not only maintain law and order but is dependable for looking for the welfare of the people.This welfare state hypothesis was received within the introduction to the 1945 Structure of the Republic of Indonesia. So that inside the scope of work relations it cannot be isolated from the part and destinations of the State.

Fiber Optic Bronchoscopy (FOB) is an invasive procedure that has been traditionally used both as diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in the field of pulmonary diseases. However, it is mainly used as diagnostic method in lung cancer diagnosis, followed by appropriate sampling procedures including needle aspiration, forceps biopsy, brushing, and washing. We aim to characterize the profile of FOB results including the positivity rate (the rate in which pathology results yield either class IV or class V cells) of each FOB procedure. This is an observational descriptive study using retrospective approach using existing FOB results from our patients. The most common FOB finding was compressive stenosis (35.4%), followed by obstructive (34.8%), and infiltrative stenosis (29.8%). Positivity rate for needle aspiration was 50% for infiltrative and 57.15% for obstructive stenosis; Positivity rate for forceps biopsy was 42.1% for infiltrative and 73.33% for obstructive stenosis; Positivity rate for brushing was 6.66% for compressive, 38.24% for infiltrative, and 25.72% for obstructive stenosis; and positivity rate of washing was 5.36% for compressive, 17.54% for infiltrative, and 6.12% for obstructive stenosis. These results showed that as the main method in lung cancer diagnosis, FOB procedures have excellent results depending on the choice of sampling procedures used based on FOB findings.

The transformer that functions to increase/decrease the voltage is heated due to the flow of electric current.The heat must be removed so as not to damage the winding. The heat dissipation method uses a liquid topropagate heat into the air. Currently, mineral oil is generally used, but to improve the environment and bemore sustainable, it can be replaced with palm oil (CPO). The heat transfer palm oil of the transformer canbe calculated. The heat propagates from the heat source through the paper to the CPO, then to the ironcasing of the transformer and then to the free air. In order for CPO to cool properly, CPO needs to be cooledusing forced air so that the heat transfer process is optimal. Based on the assumption of transformerparameters and CPO parameters such as heat capacity, conductivity, density, viscosity and others, it isobtained that the flow properties of CPO are laminar with Reynolds number of 293. Pradle number of 173.99and Prandtl number of 30, then the convection coefficient CPO heat is 509.4 W/m2.oC. Based on thetemperature in the coil of 80oC, the temperature calculation on the coil wrapping paper is 72oC, thetemperature on the inside wall of the casing is 54.17oC and the temperature on the outer wall of thetransformer or in the free air is 53.53oC so that it is still below the standard or acceptable. This shows that a5,000 Watt heat source with a transformer casing length and width of 0.5 meters and a total radiator pipelength of 10 meters can reduce heat in the transforme

Palm oil (CPO) is extracted from loose palm fruit which is released from the oil palm fruit bunches, either naturally or by boiling. Several factors affect the yield of palm oil in the oil extraction process, including the year of planting and the variety planted. This study aims to look at the yield levels of oil palm fruit based on the variety year of planting so that the actual value is known and the effect of the year of planting on the yield value of FFB can be identified. The method used in this study refers to MPOB (Malaysia Palm Oil Board) and NRCOP (National Research Center of Oil Palm) standards which consist of 6 (six) stages, namely FFB sampling, initial calculation of FFB, seeds, and mesocarp, measuring moisture content, mesocarp oil extraction, calculating the percentage of kernels and shells, and calculating the value of the FFB material balance. Based on the results of the TB material balance analysis, it is known that the young planting year does not fully produce a low yield of palm oil, this is because many influencing factors cannot be controlled and are variables that cannot be locked/determined. The results of the average material balance for all planting years for the dry extraction method showed a CPO yield value of 22.97%, testing showed the highest yield was in the 2002 planted year with 27% content and the lowest was in the 2015 planted year with 19.68%.

Authors: Salwa  , Arun B
Published: August 2023

As per modern view, more than 20000 species of Spiders are identified and classified into 60 families. Most of them are not dangerous. In Ayurveda Visha mainly classified as Sthavaram and Jangamam. Sthavaram includes plant origin whereas Jangamam includes animal origin like snake, spider, scorpion and insects etc. The detailed explanation of Luthavisha origin, symptoms, mode of poisoning and treatment is available in our classical texts. Acharya Susrutha describes 16 species of Lutha and Vagbhata describes about 28 varieties. Luthavisha (spider poisoning) is very common in Kerala especially in lower socio-economic groups. Here is a case of 6 months old girl child who presented with reddish blue, soft, raised, spreading lesions with pustules, which produce severe irritation to the child and was diagnosed as Luthavisha. Generally, the poison of all spiders has properties of all 3 dosas with predominance of Pita and Kapha. So, the line of treatment includes Pitakaphahara treatment along with Srothoshodana and Rakthaprasadana. A remarkable change has been observed as the lesion stops spreading and pustules get dried up

Introduction: There are various descriptions regarding blood letting or Raktamoksha using leeches (Jaloukavacharana) in ayurvedic classics. Acharya Susruta considers Rakta as the fourth Dosha and mentions Raktamoksha as a Shodhana karma (purificatory therapy) and is indicated in many diseases with vitiation of Raktha. As a matter of time, leech therapy is becoming more popular due to its benefits but there is no known established reliable suppliers of leeches for medical needs especially for medal purpose, maintenance of leeches in adequate environment, reproduction of leeches and storage of leeches on a large scale. Materials and Methods: This study is based on analysis of classical ayurvedic texts, modern books and internet sources. Some help was also been taken from previous articles published on the same topic. All the relevant information are compiled here. Result: Parameters for successful leech farming are studied and application of these facts can improve leech farming and thus ensure increased availability of leeches for medical needs. Discussion: The increased demand of leeches and its lesser availability forms a challenge especially in extreme weather. Basically, leech farming is a research topic and also an innovative idea for ayurvedic scholars. Leech farming provides special knowledge regarding selection and breeding of leeches
A Review on Seed Treatments Mentioned in Vṛkṣāyurveda

Published: August 2023

Nowadays various conventional methods of seed treatments are available for protecting the seeds from several seed borne or soil-borne pathogenic organisms and also for improving germination. Though many of them are detrimental to the health of humans and environment. Organic agriculture is an alternative approach for environmental supportive safe and quality production of plants. Here comes the importance of Vṛkṣāyurveda –an ancient science of Arbori –horticulture, is a branch of Ayurveda specifically meant for the health, healing and productivity of plants. Protocols and methods of Vṛkṣāyurveda are promising in the field of organic agriculture. The various seed treatments have been carefully designed in Vṛkṣāyurvedato obtain good quality of seedlings. Seeds which are treated and preserved in this manner are excellent for sowing and will sprout undoubtedly.Viḍaṅga(Embelia ribesBurm.),Sarṣapa(Brassica junceaL. Czern.), Gomaya (Cow dung),Kṣoudra(Honey), Bṛhati(Solanum anguiviLam.), Ghṛta(Ghee), kṣīra (Milk), Tila(Sesamum indicum L.), Kamala nāla(stalk of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) are extensively used in various seed treatments. These are applied on the seeds in the form of soaking, coating, fumigation etc.Kṛmihara(antimicrobial), Kleda viśoṣaka(drying up the moisture and thus increasing shelf life) and Poṣaka(fortification of seeds) properties of these drugs might act here.
Ayurvedic Management of Shushkakshipaka w. s. r. to Dry Eye SyndromeA Review.
Authors: Shekhawat, Mahipal Singh , Sharma Aparna
Published: August 2023

The windows to the soul are the eyes. Since the Vedic and Samhita times, Ayurvedic ancient writings have discussed the eye and its disorders, demonstrating the significance of the eye and ways to protect it. Because of this, eye care has always been a top priority. Clinical characteristics of Dry eye are frequently observed in Suskaksipakain Ayurveda. It's common to equate dry eyes to shushkakshipaka.However, a closer examination of the dry eye symptoms reveals two Ayurvedic terms that are closely related to the illness. The first stage of vartma roga(disease of the lid), which is defined as vata prakopaover the surface structures of the eye due to a lack of snigdha bhava, either in the form of abnormal aqueous or lipid component of tear film, which in turn creates difficulty in opening the lids, pricking pain, and a gritty feeling, is known as Krichronmeela. Shushkakshipaka, a sarvakshidisease, appears when pita becomes engaged in the pathophysiology and samprapti deepens into the dhatus over the surface structures of the eye, such as the conjunctiva and cornea.

In the autumn of 2015 a large number of mainly Syrian refugees arrived in Sweden. They were unevenly distributed geographically by the authorities and smaller municipalities received proportionally larger numbers than others. The schools became central in the local reception processes. They faced difficulties but also possibilities, both pedagogical, organizational and in relation to social issues. Based on participant observation and interviews with staff in six rural schools in different rural areas from an ethnographic study, in this paper we explore experiences about how schools received the new refugees and how reception influenced teaching. The analyses indicate some changes in forms of teaching (e.g. sensitivity to language differences, more explicit structuring of tasks) that became permanent as they were considered beneficial to non-migrant students as well. In contrast, there were very few signs of changes in the content of teaching, which appears to have largely remained largely the same as before the refugees came.
Elevating Local Knowledge in Curriculum, Conversation and Community
Authors: Moore Sabre , Weikert Angela , Downey Jayne , Carroll Sharon
Published: August 2023

In a time of fraying community and interpersonal relationships, rural school and community leaders are in search of research-based approaches to strengthen connections and sustain relationships among their students and community members. This article reports the findings from two studies (Moore, 2023; Weikert, 2022) documenting how and why, during the height of the pandemic, rural leaders from a community museum and local school came together to use local history and knowledge to design a museum exhibit and a K-12 curriculum about the pandemic and vaccines. The article describes the museum’s place-conscious development process of the exhibit titled, Shots Felt Round the World: Dr. Maurice Hilleman and the Montana Origins of the Fight Against Pandemics to invite visitors to view the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine development through local histories of infectious disease and healthcare. The article also describes how a curriculum for students in kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) titled, Hilleman & Vaccines: Connecting Culture to Scientific Curiosity was created in tandem with the exhibition by the museum’s Teacher Advisory Council to connect students to local history and knowledge to promote student learning through the integration of math, science, history, and critical thinking. Findings reveal that while the subject of vaccines is politically charged, the emphasis on local history and knowledge allowed both museum and K-12 audiences to find common ground, learn about the subject through a local lens, and strengthen school and community-school connections. The article concludes with recommendations for how rural schools and communities can use local knowledge to contribute to cross-community connections and vitality.
Local Knowledge Integrated in Learning Experiences
Authors: Marques da Silva Sofia
Published: August 2023

Development, smartness, and equity are often defined through cosmopolitan perspectives. Schools and communities from rural regions in Portugal must develop additional measures to compensate for structural disadvantages. These measures often serve to achieve urban models and standards with which comparisons are made. This article explores rural schools and community leaders’ strategies to integrate place-sensitive knowledge into their students’ educational experiences. These place-based approaches are developed against the erosion of local knowledge and may contribute to broadening a perspective on development, keeping schooling still accountable to local contexts. This contribution grounds on a national-level study on young people growing up in border regions, their schools, and communities’ resilient approaches, and draws on semi-structured interviews conducted with schools’ head teachers (N=38) and policymakers from municipalities (N=36). The study took place in all 38 municipalities of Mainland Portugal that border Spain. Findings indicate that the majority of schools and municipalities cooperate to promote the best conditions for students’ school success, developing strategies that acknowledge communities as a resource and as curriculum, while meeting national-level demands and students and families’ expectations for high performance on national-level standardise exams. Other strategies include the incorporation of local knowledge into various learning experiences, in which students are co-creators and active participants and local-based subjects focus on local sustainability and development, environmental challenges, preserving traditions, heritages, and patrimony. These topics are often explored in the context of citizenship education, non-formal education activities promoted by schools or the community, or in purposeful and structured projects. Although schools from rural border regions recognise the national policy of curriculum flexibility as an opportunity to incorporate local knowledge they do not fully benefit from this opportunity.
The influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the development and reproduction of the beet nematode (review)
Authors: Kalatur K. A.
Published: August 2023

Purpose. To analyze domestic and foreign scientific sources on the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the development and reproduction of the beet nematode in the soil.

Results. Long-term research has established that the development and reproduction of the beet nematode are influenced by a complex of biotic factors, among which the most important are the root secretions of plants grown in a field infected with heteroderosis, which can stimulate or inhibit the emergence of parasite larvae from eggs, infestation of sugar beet sowings with weed that are hosts of heterodera, as well as the presence of various species of fungi and bacteria that attack nematode eggs, larvae, and cysts and are considered natural regulators of nematode in agrocenoses. Among the abiotic factors, according to scientists, temperature, humidity, aeration, type and pH of the soil, oxygen content, etc. have significant influence on the viability of various stages of the beet nematode, the duration of development and the number of its generations.

Conclusions. The results of research on the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the vital activity of the beet nematode indicate the complexity of the relationship of this parasite with various plant species, other microorganisms that inhabit the agrocenosis, and environmental conditions. The high ecological plasticity of the nematode contributes to its significant spread in temperate climates, and the increase in the density and harmfulness of its population in the soil is ensured by the cultivation of favorable crops in the field, as well as by the combination of optimal conditions of temperature, humidity and other factors during vegetation. Further study of various factors that, first of all, negatively affect the development and reproduction of the beet nematode will prepare the conditions for the development and implementation of new alternative approaches of nematode control in sugar beet sowings.
Physical and chemical properties of amaranth grain as affected by the varietal characteristics and humidity
Authors: Liubych V. V. , Manzii O. P. , Voitovska V. I. , Klymovych N. M.
Published: August 2023

Purpose. To establish the peculiarities of the formation of physicochemical properties of amaranth grain under the effect of varietal characteristics and humidity.
Methods. Laboratory methods for determination of physicochemical and physicomechanical properties of grain; calculation for determination of volume, area and sphericity of grain; mathematical and statistical methods for the analysis of the experimental data.
Results. The research shows that the carbohydrate content of amaranth grain varied from 63.1 to 68.7%. At the same time, the content of carbohydrates in the grain of variety ‘Kharkivskyi-1’ was significantly higher compared to ‘Atstek’ and ‘Helios’. The content of protein in the grain of the studied varieties varied significantly. The highest protein content was in the grain of 'Lera' and ‘Kharkivskyi-1’ varieties (20.2–24.9%). It should be noted that the lysine content in the grain of these varieties was also the highest (0.85–0.91%). Grain moisture content in the studied varieties was low (8.3–11.1%). The highest grain quality was in the ‘Helios’ variety – 819 g/dm3, while in the rest of the studied varieties it ranged from 748 to 775 g/dm3. 1000-kernel weight and 1000-kernel volume were almost equal in the studied amaranth varieties. At the same time, the angle of the natural slope varied reliably. The coefficients of external friction at rest and the coefficient of external friction in motion for the grain of the varieties ‘Kharkivskyi-1’, ‘Lera’ and ‘Atstek’ were significantly higher compared to ‘Helios’. The geometric parameters of grain changed reliably depending on their humidity: as the humidity of the grain increases, its geometric parameters increase. An increase in the moisture content of the grain increases the linear dimensions. At the same time, the volume and surface area of the grain increases, thanks to which the sphericity increases.
Conclusions. It was established that the physicochemical properties of amaranth grain reliably change as affected by varietal characteristics and humidity. The grain of amaranth varieties ‘Lera’ and ‘Kharkivskyi-1’ has the highest protein content (20.2–24.9%) and lysine (0.85–0.91%). The carbohydrate content is 65.3–68.7%. ‘Helios’ variety has the highest grain quality – 819 g/dm3. 1000-kernel weight is 0.664–0.710 g, depending on the variety. The grain of varieties ‘Kharkivskyi-1’, ‘Lera’ and ‘Atstek’ is characterized by a higher angle of natural slope, coefficients of external friction at rest and external friction in motion. An increase in grain moisture significantly increases its geometric parameters.

Social assistance or what is often called Bansos (Bantuan Sosial) is assistance in the form of goods or money from the government for the community that is temporary and selective. There were many reports from the public complaining that some had not received assistance or had not received it at all. This problematic social assistance has caused a stir in public reports on various social media, including Twitter. To find out the classification of public opinion related to social assistance on Twitter, it is necessary to do pre-processing and analysis of tweets. The dataset used is data crawled using the Twitter API and produces 702 tweet data in CSV format. Tweets retrieved based on the keyword 'bansos' in August 2021. The dataset is divided into two categories, positive and negative. Data with a total of 328 positive categories and 374 data of negative categories. The method applied in this study uses the Chi-Square feature selection method and the Naïve Bayes Classifier algorithm. The purpose of this research is to produce a website-based application that can classify tweets related to social assistance covid-19 into 2 categories, positive and negative by using the Chi-Square feature selection and the Naïve Bayes Classifier algorithm. The F1 score in the positive class is 85% and the negative class is 89% and produces an accuracy value of 87%. The results of the comparison between Naive Bayes and Naive Bayes using Chi-Square show that there is no difference in accuracy.

Este artigo trata do processo de ensino-aprendizagem permeado por tecnologias e da relação sucinta entre o ensino presencial e o ensino on-line/remoto. Abordará resumidamente sobre as Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDICs) no ambiente educacional, e especificará e mostrará um pouco mais sobre uma destas TDICs, o aplicativo (app) QUIZZER. O objetivo principal deste trabalho não é fazer com que o leitor tenha apenas a visão unilateral, e sim bilateral, ao que se refere sobre o uso das TDICs na educação, colocando seus pontos positivos e negativos, como também opiniões de autores respeitados dos dois lados, que defendem e criticam as TDICs no âmbito educacional. Mesmo defendendo um lado, como disse, nesse primeiro momento meu objetivo é ser imparcial sobre esta temática, mostrar os argumentos dos dois lados bem também como seus defensores, e permitir que o leitor também defenda ou critique, porque tem argumentos bem claros e relevantes de ambos os lados para pensar e refletir. Entretanto, o argumento principal sobre qual lado me posiciono de⅘ maneira mais clara e evidente se encontra nas considerações finais deste artigo.
Comparative Study of Thermal Pre-treatment on the Extraction, Antioxidant, Fatty Acid Profile, and Physicochemical Properties of Inca Inchi Seed Oil
Authors: Christophe Jeffi , Ping Tan Chin , Wasoh Helmi , Ming Lai Oi
Published: August 2023

Inca Inchi oil, an edible oil with high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, has a wide range of applications in therapeutic, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Increasing its oil yield during oil extraction is important due to its high value. However, conventional techniques such as screw press extraction pose a limitation in terms of oil yield. Thus, in this study, the seeds were pre-treated in a microwave and hot air oven prior to oil extraction. The effects of this pre-treatment on the oil yield, fatty acid profile, antioxidant profile, and physicochemical properties were compared. Microwave treatment (4 min) was found to have the highest oil yield (43.39%) compared to control (37.76%). The proximate analysis revealed that the protein content in the oil meal was high (51–60%) compared to oil seed (24.2%), indicating that it has potential application to be developed into plant-based protein foods. The fatty acid profile indicates that the oil had high omega 3 (49%) and omega 6 (37%) fatty acids. The free fatty acids and peroxide values of the pre-treated oil samples were less than 1% and 10 meq O2/kg oil, respectively, compared to the control (1%), while the iodine value was high due to double bonds. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-1picrylhydrazyl and 2,2´-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid study shows that the oil has good radical scavenging activity (70 and 90%), which shows the oil’s potential in functional food applications.

Published: August 2023

To achieve an integrated environment and interactive experience of e-learning, we have designed a virtual coding lab system. This paper introduces a concept called a coding lab for teachers and students of a college. It includes creating a website where students can code and that can be monitored by the teacher. The students can also submit the pdf code file to the teacher for assessment. Using some complex web development tools, this paper intends to make life easier for teachers and students by providing a simple user-friendly interface for both and making lab sessions unique and convenient. The principal objective of the project is to create improvement in the existing E-Learning practices. A big problem which the current education system is facing is to providing a good quality education in virtual or online mode. A small part of that is computer language teaching. This is identified as the problem statement to work upon in the project.
Ficção histórica e o impulso arquivístico em história natural da ditadura e o material humano
Authors: Ferraz Felippe Eduardo
Published: August 2023

O artigo tenciona analisar duas ficções históricas, publicadas no século XXI, investigando a relação entre Literatura, História e documento. Particular atenção será dada ao tema do arquivo, especialmente pela leitura de alguns ensaios das artes visuais que tematizaram esse “impulso arquivístico”. A incorporação do arquivo ocorre pelo uso de fotografias e anotações de processo de investigação ao longo da narrativa, o que termina por levá-las à desestabilização de seu estatuto ficcional, porém os autores não abandonam o uso da nomenclatura romance para cada um de seus empreendimentos. História Natural da Ditadura abusa do recurso à fotografia, já O Material Humano extrapola na catalogação de nomes e no diário de investigação de sua pesquisa no arquivo. Ambas enfatizam o tema do desaparecimento do corpo e reiteram o hibridismo da composição do relato. Argumento que ambas são mais complexas do que a simples vinculação entre esses romances e o mimetismo do real, já que a utilização do documento não acontece apenas como prova, típico das referências do campo dos saberes da História profissional. Por fim, o artigo tenciona associar a incorporação de documentos nos relatos aos estudos do trauma, e seus limites, enquanto possibilidade analítica.
Entre memórias e história em “lambões de caçarola (trabalhadores do brasil!)”
Authors: Ávila Ornellas Clara
Published: August 2023

RESUMO: Este texto apresenta uma análise da narrativa “Lambões de Caçarola (Trabalhadores do Brasil!)” (1984), de João Antônio, a partir da discussão sobre memórias de infância e o regime de governo do presidente Getúlio Vargas, em seus dois mandatos (1930-1945 e 1951-1954), demonstrando o ponto de vista crítico do narrador ao rememorar tais períodos da história do Brasil sob a perspectiva da criança e, na sequência, do adulto. Sedimenta-se este estudo nas reflexões de José Luis Romero, em América Latina: as cidades e as ideias (2004), principalmente no que tange ao uso do populismo, por parte de alguns líderes de nações latino-americanas, como forma de manipulação e opressão daqueles que se localizam à margem social.

Simbiose: tradução recíproca e duplicidade da autoria em sertão e ser-língua
Authors: Carvalho Pires Eloa
Published: August 2023

Em 2003, a Editora Nova Fronteira lança João Guimarães Rosa: Correspondência com seu tradutor alemão Curt Meyer-Clason (1958 – 1967), organizada por Maria Aparecida Bussolotti e traduzida por Erlon José Paschoal. Esse livro revela diversos apontamentos acerca dos processos de tradução e (re)criação de Grande Sertão: Veredas e “a amizade mais estreita” (PASCHOAL, 2008, p. 186) surgida entre Meyer-Clason e Rosa. Cinco anos após traduzir a correspondência entre os dois citados escritores, Erlon José Paschoal incita a ascendência do debate sobre a questão da convivência e da proximidade entre autor e tradutor bem como suas consequências para a tradução de uma obra literária em Uma recriação fiel: Diálogos entre o autor e seu tradutor (2008). A partir disto, procuraremos expor, à luz dos apontamentos de Paschoal e outros estudiosos do tema, como a relação entre autor\tradutor foi constituída de forma opositiva ao longo dos séculos sob diferentes aspectos nas teorias de tradução. Em seguida, buscaremos apontar para o cerne dessa oposição nos estudos de tradução. Por fim, demonstraremos que, em uma relação de complementaridade, a aproximação entre ambos, autor e tradutor, não somente é prolífica para a (re)criação literária e para as discussões acerca dos estudos da tradução, mas também torna possível formular uma reflexão acerca de uma “tradução recíproca” (OTTONI, 2005, p. 16). Para tanto, tomaremos como base a proposta de Paschoal de “simbiose” (PASCHOAL, 2008, p. 187) para propor a “duplicidade da autoria” (LAGES, 2002, p. 82) de uma tradução literária.
Adaptação e o infilmável: dilemas da tradução e da escrita
Authors: Loureiro Junior João Pereira , Nascimento Sarmento Pantoja Carlos Augusto
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo parte da noção de que o fazer artístico dimensiona nossa capacidade em reproduzir as realidades que estão a nossa volta: os processos de adaptação. Mas, diferentemente do que comumente estamos condicionados a refletir, nosso foco aqui será explorar os dilemas da escrita do roteiro considerando as possibilidades/impossibilidades da traduzibilidade entre cinema e literatura trazendo como objeto de análise o filme Adaptação (2002) de Spike Jonze que tematiza, a partir de uma narrativa peculiar, os processos de adaptação e os dilemas pelos quais o(s) personagem(ens) roteirista(s) passa(m) no confronto com os dilemas da intraduzibilidade ao longo do percurso de adaptação de um livro para a escrita fílmica, no caso, o roteiro, para fins de delimitação deste trabalho. Como aporte teórico utilizamos Benjamin (2008), Bastos Neto (2009); Cavalcante (2019); Carrière (2006); figueiredo (2010); Hutcheon (2013); Martirani (2012) Noriega (2001) Pellegrini (2003).
gesto da escritura e da tradução em Il naso d'argento
Authors: Santi Guarda Alessandra Camila , Kaminski Alves Lourdes
Published: August 2023

Italo Calvino se destacou como autor multifacetado que buscou pensar o livro e o mundo em crise, o que se observa tanto em sua produção ensaística como em sua produção literária. Escreveu contos, romances, ensaios, crítica de cinema e teatro, relatos de viagens e manteve expressiva correspondência com escritores, intelectuais e tradutores de diferentes nacionalidades, a exemplo da obra Lettere 1940-1985 (2000). Conhecido por obras como Le città invisibili (1972), Le cosmicomiche (1965), Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore (1979) e a trilogia I nostri antenati (1960), o autor também ganhou ampla visibilidade ao ser escolhido, ainda jovem, para reunir e traduzir duzentas fábulas recolhidas de todas as regiões da Itália no que se tornou Fiabe italiane (1956). Para este trabalho, escolhemos partir da fábula “Il naso d’argento” para analisar aspectos da fábula italiana e do trabalho de Calvino como intelectual das Letras ao reuni-las. Nos apoiamos, para tanto, nos escritos do próprio autor sobre as fábulas – tanto em suas cartas, acima mencionadas, quanto na obra póstuma Sulla fiaba (1996) –, em suas Lezioni americane (1988) e, também, em Haroldo de Campos (1992), ao questionar o quanto o próprio Calvino não poderia ser considerado autor dessas fábulas.
