Published: June 2023

Nymphaea lotus is a plant used traditionally for the treatment of many ailments including gastric ulcer without any scientific validation of its pharmacological action and safety. This study was undertaken to evaluate the possible gastro-protective potential of methanol extract of N. lotus leaves on gastric ulcers induced by different ulcerogens.  Thirty rats (160-180 g) were divided into five groups: Group 1 was the normal control, group 2 was negative control, group 3 was administered 25 mg/kg Omeprazole (standard drug), groups 4, 5 and 6 were administered 200, 400 and 600 mg/kg methanol extract of N. lotus leaves, respectively. After two weeks of oral administration, gastric ulcer was induced in all the rats except group 1 using various ulcerogens such as 95% ethanol, indomethacin and hypothermic stress to access the gastro-protective potential of the extract. Phytochemical and anti-microbial analyses of the freshly prepared extract were carried out followed by histological studies of the gastric tissues. Nymphaea lotus leaves extract significantly (p<0.05) prevented peptic ulcers in a dose-dependent manner. The extract at 600 mg/kg showed a protective effect comparable to that of Omeprazole.  Microorganisms (Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Aspergillus niger and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) tested in this study were inhibited by the methanol extract. The above findings indicate that methanol extract of Nymphaea lotus leaves has gastro-protective activities.

Authors:   , Márcia Siqueira do Nascimento Maria
Published: June 2023

A participação política da mulher, no Brasil, especialmente em cargos do Legislativo e Executivo é pequena e acaba decorrendo em má representatividade política. Ocorre que uma vez constatada esta realidade nacional, este trabalho buscou identificar outras formas de inserção da mulher na polícia. Assim, este trabalho buscou desvendar como ocorre a participação da mulher na esfera administrativa do município de Sumé-PB, partindo do objetivo geral de: Analisar a participação política das mulheres nas secretarias do município de SuméPB. Para tanto foi realizada uma pesquisa do tipo descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, amparada no método de História Oral e realizada a partir de dados documentais e de aplicação de questionário com as atuais secretarias municipais. A dificuldade em realizar a pesquisa se deu em decorrência da não sistematização e acesso aos dados em questão. Contudo, a pesquisa revelou que mesmos sendo maioria populacional, quanto do eleitorado e até mesmo no quantitativo de funcionárias do município, não se observa equidade na ocupação das secretarias entre homens e mulheres. Também que as secretarias ocupadas por mulheres são aquelas tradicionalmente relacionadas ao feminino e a atuação da mulher no mercado de trabalho, o que reforça um padrão patriarcal presente na sociedade brasileira.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate how public sector workers in Indonesia use e-learning systems and how they can benefit from them. The researchers analyzed five variables that contribute to the effectiveness of e-learning: system reliability, information sharing, service quality, user satisfaction, and net benefit. Structural Equation Model analysis was used to analyze the data collected from 203 respondents who were public sector employees in Indonesia. The findings of this study revealed that information sharing, and service quality significantly impact user satisfaction, which in turn has a significant effect on net benefits. Additionally, system reliability was found to significantly impact user satisfaction. This theoretical implication suggests that there is a direct relationship between the level of information sharing and service quality provided by a public sector organization and the level of user satisfaction experienced by its usage of e-learning. The practical implication of the finding is that public sector organizations must prioritize the reliability of their e-learning systems. This includes investing in regular maintenance and updates, ensuring proper testing and quality control procedures, and addressing any issues or downtime quickly and effectively.

We conducted a bibliometric and content analysis of publication in the Scopus database. We only retrieved articles written in English. We conducted content analysis using the VOSviewer software and visualized the co-occurrence of keywords and bibliographic coupling of sources and countries. Following the study protocol, we found 862 articles on Data Visualization over the past 30 years. The most productive journal that published these articles was Lecture Notes In Computer Science (n=32). The most productive country was the United States (n=305). Based on citations, the most influential authors, and journals were Thorvaldsdóttir et al., (2013) [Thorvaldsdóttir, H., Robinson, J. T., & Mesirov, J. P. (2013). Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV): High-performance genomics data visualization and exploration. Briefings in Bioinformatics, 14(2), 178–192.] (n=4699), and IEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (n=656). The keywords of research on Data Visualization formed 7 clusters (e.g. Data Visualization, Visualization, and Human). From a global perspective, Data Visualization research in the past 30 years has increased significantly. There were European published journals nominated publications. Thus, Asian countries need to conduct more active research on this topic.

Published: June 2023

Credit card fraud poses a significant challenge for both consumers and organizations worldwide, particularly with the increasing reliance on credit cards for financial transactions. Therefore, it is crucial to establish effective mechanisms to detect credit card fraud. However, the uneven distribution of instances between the two classes in the credit card dataset hinders traditional machine learning techniques, as they tend to prioritize the majority class, leading to inaccurate fraud pre- dictions. To address this issue, this paper focuses on the use of the Elbow Fuzzy Noise Filtering SMOTE (EFN-SMOTE) technique, an oversampling approach, to handle unbalanced data. EFN-SMOTE partitions the dataset into multiple clusters using the Elbow method, applies noise filtering to each cluster, and then employs SMOTE to synthesize new minority instances based on the nearest majority instance to each minority instance, thereby improving the model’s ability to perceive the decision boundary. EFN-SMOTE’s performance was evaluated using an Artificial Neural Network model with four hidden layers, resulting in significant improvements in classification performance, achieving an accuracy of 0.999, precision of 0.998, sensitivity of 0.999, specificity of 0.998, F-measure of 0.999, and G-Mean of 0.999.

Published: June 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a major public health concern in many regions of the world, including Indonesia's West Java Provinces. Accurate TB risk factor prediction can enhance overall TB control efforts by directing focused therapies. In this study, utilizing a combination of Negative Binomial Mixed Models (NBMMs) and Feed-Forward Neural Networks (FFNNs), we offer a unique method for the predictive modeling of TB risk variables. A variety of sociodemographic, behavioral, and environmental factors that are known to be linked to TB are included in the dataset utilized in this investigation. To correct for overdispersion and include both fixed and random effects in the model, we first fitted an NBMM major problem in epidemiological investigations is modeling count data with overdispersion, and the NBMM component of the model offers a versatile and effective framework for doing so. Following that, we include an FFNN component in the model, which helps us to detect relevant predictive features and alter the model's weights accordingly. Backpropagation methods are used by the FFNN to adjust model parameters and enhance accuracy. The resulting Negative Binomial Mixed Model Neural Network (NBMMNN) model has a high accuracy value of up to 0.944. Our research suggests that the NBMMNN model outperforms conventional models that are frequently used to predict TB risk factors. By contrast to simpler models, the NBMMNN model can capture complicated and nonlinear interactions between predictors and outcomes. Additionally, the inclusion of random variables in the model enables us to take into account potential sources of variability in the data as well as unmeasured confounding. This work emphasizes the opportunity to enhance TB risk prediction and control efforts by integrating NBMMs with FFNNs. In West Java Provinces and other comparable contexts, the NBMMNN model might be a helpful tool for identifying and resolving TB risk factors, guiding targeted interventions, and enhancing overall TB control efforts.

Authors: MGHEBRİSHVİLİ Aleksandre
Published: June 2023

When talking about the literary and cultural traditions of the Tskhinvali region, we cannot ignore the personality of Davit Kasradze. Since the beginning of the 20th century, as soon as he appeared in the arena, he made a remarkable contribution to the rapprochement of the Georgian and Ossetian people and the development of cultural values. Davit Kasradze was born in 1885 in the village of Avnevi (a village in Georgia. The village is mentioned in the description of Ioane Bagrationi of 1794-1799. It has been occupied by Russia since 2008) in the Prone valley. He solidified an honorable place among the thinking people of Tskhinvali region. After graduating from Gori Theological School, he continues his studies at Tbilisi Art School. The received education does not satisfy the future writer and scientist. Because of this, at the beginning of the first decade of the new century, he studied philosophy and literature at the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature at the University of Paris. While studying in Paris, Davit Kasradze befriends Mikheil Javakhishvili, and the period of his stay in Brussels is the basis of cordial friendship with Kondrate Tatarashvili and Tedo Sakhokia. In 1919, his "History of Georgia" was published in Russian language, in which the libraries and repositories of Paris and Geneva contributed to a large extent. D. Kasradze's friendship with Geronti Kikodze is also connected to Brussels, who had moved from Geneva to Brussels at that time, where the room and library left by G. Kikodze were used by D. Kasradze during his years living in Brussels. His creative work began in journals: "Jejili", "Nakaduli". The brilliant writer of the Georgian language urged some of his contemporaries to deeply master the richest treasure of their native language. A number of journalistic texts by Davit Kasradze, imbued with deep patriotic feelings, in which the writer tries to awaken national feelings and national self-respect in the progressive population of our country. To achieve the goal, the author often checks the opinions of Georgian classics and relentlessly exposes a number of ill-wishers who intend to change Georgian national consciousness and violate cultural traditions.

Silk Sericin and its Food application: A Review
Authors: Shree G Madhu , Sherlin S Felshia , S Madhavan , Allwin S. I Jeyanth
Published: June 2023

This review deals with the structural and functional properties of sericin and its application in the food industry to enhance the food preservation. Sericin is a globular protein that contains silk fibre from the bombyx mori silkworm case. It has 18 amino acids. The proteins had been utilized in space travel food. Sericin is hydrophilic in nature and shows a physiological impact on the gastrointestinal system. Sericin contains different microbiology properties which allow us to apply it to different fields. Sericin can be attributed to three structures such as sericin A, sericin B, and sericin C. Comparison of extraction methods, extraction with steam using autoclave method is more sustainable. Sericin joins with properties such a gelling property, sol-gel change, isoelectric pH, dissolvability of sericin, and sun–nuclear weight. Sericin inhibits the growth of microorganisms such as S.aureus as gram-positive microorganisms and E.coli as gram-negative microorganisms. It provides a major antioxidant property by inhibiting tyrosinase enzymes. Sericin is an intriguing contender to impede the browning impact in food items without the expansion of manufactured cell antioxidant compounds. Food products prepared with sericin helps in diabetics and keeping up with the diet. The utilization of edible coating or films using sericin not only imparts antibrowning, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties but also improves the nutritional properties of the food product. Though the production rate of sericin is high in India, a very few attempts have been made to utilize sericin in food applications. Hence utilizing sericin in food applications provide several advantages and improves its scope in food industry.
The use of wavelet-based optical flows for wall-bounded turbulent flows
Authors: Peterson Brian
Published: June 2023

Experimental investigations of turbulent boundary layer flows requires the ability to resolve the velocity at high spatial resolution down to the wall. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) has been the workhorse of experimental fluid mechanics for many decades. However, the principles of cross-correlation based PIV often make it challenging to resolve the viscous sublayer with sufficient vector resolution, while still being able to resolve a significant portion of the velocity in the outer boundary layer regions.

Optical flow is an alternative approach to velocimetry; it describes the apparent displacement of brightness intensity patters in an image sequence, and it is capable of determining the velocity field with impressive vector resolution down to the pixel scale. Originally developed by the computer vision community, variants of optical flow have been adopted within the fluid mechanics research community. However, in comparison to PIV, optical flow is far-less developed and applied within experimental fluid mechanics, since it is often more intimidating to learn and develop. Thus, the capabilities of optical flow and the understanding of how to best develop optical flow for accurate velocity estimations is often lacking.

In this seminar, we will evaluate the capacity of wOF to resolve a turbulent boundary layer flow field with high accuracy and impressive spatial resolution. We will first assess the sensitivity of wOF findings to the regularization parameter (λ). This analysis will describe the effect of under-regularization or over-regularization for accurate measurements of velocity and wall shear stress, the latter of which is important for calculation of non-dimensional boundary layer parameters. This analysis is performed on synthetic DNS data of a turbulent channel flow. wOF findings will be compared with PIV as a benchmark to discuss wOF’s performance against the state-of-the-art. wOF will then be applied and assessed to experimental particle images acquired within a turbulent boundary layer. We will discuss the optimization of wOF in the absence of ground-truth data, and the capability of wOF to extend beyond PIV as well as particle tracking velocimetry, when wOF parameters are chosen appropriately.
εmbosì Indefiniteness: A Pragmatic Analysis
Authors: Ngapoula Kiba
Published: June 2023

This analysis broaches the contextual interpretation of indefiniteness in εmbQsì and it aims at providing the promotion and documentation of this language. The study reveals that εmbosì indefiniteness interplays with the pragmatic tenets of non-identifiability and novelty. It also and mainly reveals that εmbosì indefinite description has different functions. It first introduces a new entity in the discourse and may have an attributive function when the referent of an entity refers to whoever or whatever fits the descriptive content of the noun phrase. It may also be referential when the speaker first communicates something about the referent and then wants the audience to identify it. εmbosì indefinite description also assumes a specific function when the speaker refers to a specific entity in his mind without intending the hearer to identify it. Indefiniteness in εmbosì also plays a descriptive role when the speaker, using a proper name, does not refer to a specific individual, but rather to what that individual describes.

Published: June 2023

Rabbit meat is highly nutritious and possesses a healthy source of protein, yet it remains the unpopular choice of meat among Malaysian consumers. Thus, this paper investigates the deterring factors why it is so. By using descriptive statistics from a sample of 220 Malaysian respondents, it was found that the strong deterring factors why people do not eat rabbit meat are its availability in the market, versatility in cooking as well as its expensive price. Besides, there is also a misconception that rabbit meat has no nutritious effect as opposed to other meats such as chicken and beef. Therefore, it is recommended that awareness should be given to Malaysian consumers about the benefits of consuming rabbit meat, as well as how to cook it to expose the majority of the consumers to its versatility in cooking meats. Besides, incentives and subsidies shall be provided by the government and local authorities to rural producers to tackle the issue of its expensive price.

Published: June 2023

Objective: Emergency department (ED) crowding is a worldwide problem and one of the main causes internationally is an increase in presentations by older patients with complex and chronic care needs. Although there has been a 4,3% reduction in total ED visits from 2016-2019 in the Netherlands, the EDs still experience crowding. National crowding research has not focused on the older group in detail, hence their possible role remains ill defined. The primary aim of this study was to map the trend in ED visits by older patients in the Netherlands. The secondary aim was to identify healthcare utilization 30 days before/after ED visit. Methods: We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study, using longitudinal health insurance claims data (2016-2019). The data encompasses all Dutch patients of 70 years or older who visited the ED. Results: The number of older patients who visited the ED followed by admission, increased from 231,223 patients (2016), to 234,817 (2019). The number without admission also increased from 244,814 patients, to 274,984. There were 696,005 total visits by older patients (2016) increasing to 730,358 visits (2019). Conclusion: The slight rise in older patients at the ED is consistent with overall population growth of older people in the Netherlands. These results indicate that Dutch ED crowding cannot be explained by mere numbers of older patients. More research is needed with data on patient level, to study other contributing factors, such as complexity of care needs within the ageing population

Similar Events but Contrasting Impact: Appraising the Global Digital Reach of World Heart Day and Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month
Authors: Malhotra Kashish , Lal Vandita , Majmundar Monil , Kumar Ashish , Wander Gurpreet Singh , Kalra Ankur
Published: June 2023

Background: With over 18.6 million deaths annually, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. One such complication of CVDs that can result in stroke is atrial fibrillation (Afib). As part of global outreach and awareness, World Heart Day and Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month are celebrated annually on 29 September and the month of September, respectively. Both of these events are important cardiovascular awareness initiatives to assist public education and develop awareness strategies, and they have received considerable support from leading international organizations.
Objective: We studied the global digital impact of these campaigns via Google Trends and Twitter.
Methods: We evaluated the overall number of tweets, impressions, popularity and top keywords/hashtags, and interest by region to determine the digital impact using various analytical tools. Hashtag network analysis was done using ForceAtlas2 model. Beyond social media, Google Trends web search analysis was carried out for both awareness campaigns to examine ‘interest by region’ over the past five years by analyzing relative search volume.
Results: #WorldHeartDay and #UseHeart (dedicated social media hashtags for World Heart Day by the World Heart Federation) alone amassed over 1.005 billion and 41.89 million impressions as compared with the 1.62 million and 4.42 million impressions of #AfibMonth and #AfibAwarenessMonth, respectively. On Google Trends web search analysis, the impact of Afib awareness month was limited to the USA, but World Heart Day had a comparatively global reach with limited digital involvement in the African continent.
Conclusions: World Heart Day and Afib awareness month present a compelling case study of vast digital impact and the effectiveness of targeted campaigning using specific themes and keywords. Though the efforts of the backing organizations are commended, planning and collaboration are needed to further widen the reach of Afib awareness month.

Therapeutic properties of fermented feces for the treatment of common diseases, such as diarrhea, have been exploited for a long time. Recent studies have revealed that the benefit comes from the intestinal microbiota, which acts as a new metabolic and inflammatory modulating organ, showing favorable potential when well-regulated and unfavorable in the presence of dysbiosis. This review aims to evaluate the therapeutic modulation of this flora in endocrine and intestinal inflammatory diseases through transplantation. The study used PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar as databases, without language restrictions, from 1989 onwards due to their historical relevance up to works from 2023. The descriptors used were "fecal microbiota transplantation," "metabolic diseases," "endocrine diseases" and "intestinal inflammatory diseases." It is observed that there is therapeutic benefit in regulating the microbiome of patients with obesity, metabolic syndrome, or intestinal inflammatory diseases, although the techniques for improvement are still under study. It is important that new studies be conducted to refine this process, as it shows great promise in modulating the enteroendocrine and inflammatory axes.

A pós-graduação em educação em ciências e matemática no Brasil tem se consolidado como importante campo de pesquisa na área de ensino. Esse estudo buscou responder a seguinte questão: Em que aspectos as teses em Educação Matemática produzidas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemáticas – PPGECM reverberam nas práticas sociais dos professores pesquisadores egressos do programa, e suas possíveis repercussões e desdobramentos? Portanto o objetivo foi analisar as teses em Educação Matemática, produzidas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemática –'PPGECM do IEMCI/UFPA, identificando os discursos e suas interseções/consequências nas práticas sociais dos pesquisadores egressos do programa. Desse modo, defendemos a tese de que as pesquisas doutorais produzidas pelos egressos do PPGECM têm produzido impactos, consequências e desdobramentos relevantes que repercutem nas práticas sociais desses sujeitos autores, por meio da participação em grupos ou projetos de pesquisa acadêmica, reflexões críticas sobre suas próprias práticas, incremento na produção de artigos científicos e, sobretudo, inserção no processo de formação acadêmica e de novos pesquisadores para a região amazônica.

Authors: Pinto Cynthia , Silva Simone
Published: June 2023

Na cidade de Manaus, os problemas ambientais, principalmente aqueles relacionados à construção civil, não são diferentes do resto do Brasil. O período da borracha no final do século XIX e a implantação da Zona Franca na década de 1960, foram responsáveis pela crescente migração populacional, impulsionando o crescimento da Indústria da Construção Civil, bem como a geração de seus resíduos. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho, é demonstrar o atual cenário do gerenciamento dos resíduos da construção civil na Cidade de Manaus, sob a perspectiva da sustentabilidade, a partir de dados coletados em órgãos da administração pública, através de bibliografias e nos nos canteiros de obras, verificando-se a atual situação da destinação final dos RCC, e quais as práticas de sustentabilidade adotadas, visando a indicação da fragilidades do gerenciamento de RCC e elaboração de uma cartilha com as principais informações coletadas, de forma a orientar as melhores práticas para a tomada de decisão da administração pública quanto ao atendimento da Resolução nº 307 do CONAMA e Lei 12.305/2010 (Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos -PNRS).

Background - Although we have accumulated knowledge along with the pandemic, there are still gaps, including the impact of seasonal conditions of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses. Methods - A retrospective cohort study that aimed to describe the etiological diagnosis and compare the clinical presentation and outcomes of children with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Results – 1,027 children diagnosed with SARS were evaluated. In 926 (90.2%) children who collected RT-PCR Covid, 2.3% had a positive result. A total of 365 (35.4%) of the children underwent collection for Viral Panel exam, with identification of the etiology in 28%. There was a statistically significant difference in the age of patients infected with RSV and other viruses. The length of hospital stay was statistically different (p:0.006) when comparing groups of rhinovirus with COVID or RSV. Conclusion - This study is a pioneer in conducting large-scale testing for respiratory viruses in pediatric patients during the pandemic and contributes to the knowledge about the etiology of SARS in childhood, and this disease's relationship with the seasonality of respiratory viruses.

O número de estudos com foco na cultura do açaí e no modo de vida das comunidades ribeirinhas, principais responsáveis pela demanda pelo açaí, vem aumentando a cada ano. Esta pesquisa explora os aspectos sociais da organização familiar de produtores de açaí no município de Anajás-PA, especificamente nas comunidades Alto Rio Anajás, Bom Futuro, Monte Carmelo e Vencedora. Utilizando metodologia qualitativa, o estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a organização familiar e comunitária tradicional no ciclo produtivo, identificando as necessidades de políticas públicas e incentivos para apoiar a agricultura familiar. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados incluíram pesquisa de campo documental empírica, entrevistas informais e semiestruturadas, questionários conduzidos por meio de conversas informais, e observações cotidianas do modo de vida de famílias ribeirinhas tradicionais que cultivam açaí. Os achados revelaram a ausência de políticas públicas nas comunidades pesquisadas, sejam elas de inclusão social das famílias e dos jovens, ou de acessos a projeto de desenvolvimento sustentável para melhor organização social e manejo adequado das áreas. Para isso, foi aprovado um projeto de Lei na Câmara Municipal de Anajás para criação de um aplicativo para cadastramento de extrativistas, agricultores, coletores, e pequenos agricultores do município de Anajás, com intuito de mapear e aprimorar a produção e renda dos municípios

Published: June 2023

Due to the Egyptian shortage of energy sources, especially for energy-intensive industries, the Egyptian President decree No 105-2015, and the Egyptian Prime Minister’s Decisions No. 964 - 2015, No 544-2017, and No 618-2017 setting standards for the exportation, using, handling, and storage of coal as an alternative fuel in mega industries within the Arab Republic of Egypt. Fossil fuels, with their different types, are materials that produce different amounts of air pollutants, especially coal, which, when burned, produces quantities of sulfur oxides, carbon oxides, and some heavy metals that have environmental and health effects in the short and long term alike. The objective of the present study is to identify the distance from each stack of approximately zero mercury concentration as compared to the distance of the external plant fences to ensure that the community air is free from mercury of the cement production source by using an air pollutants dispersion model. This study was a descriptive cross-sectional survey that was conducted in Cement Production plant in the Helwan area that use coal as an energy source. Stack sampling of both vapor and particulates' Hg was conducted according to the standard isokinetic method.
