Authors: Bezuglov E. N. , Khaitin V. Yu. , Etemad O. A. , Lebedenko E. O. , Grinchenko A. P. , Filimonova A. M.
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Despite the large number of classifications of muscle injuries proposed by different expert groups, there is still no classification that can fully satisfy the requirements of practitioners in terms of predicting the duration of treatment and minimising the risk of recurrence. At the same time, the diversity of classifications may lead to different interpretations of the severity of the same injury with subsequent variability in the choice of rehabilitation protocol and its duration.

Aim: to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of the most common classifications of muscle injuries in the practice of professionals working with athletes.

Materials and methods: The Pubmed and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles in English describing classifications of muscle injuries proposed since 2000. The following word combinations were used for the search: ‘classification of muscle injuries’, ‘grading of muscle injuries’, ‘muscle damage’ and ‘muscle injuries’. The study design was a narrative review.

Results: Eight classifications proposed by different expert groups since 2000 were found. The Munich Consensus and British Athletic Association classifications of muscle injuries and the MLG-R classification can be considered the most commonly used at present, based on various combinations of clinical symptomatology, mechanism of injury and localisation, and magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Conclusion: There are currently several of the most widely used classifications of muscle injuries, and communities of practice should appreciate this diversity when determining injury severity and predicting treatment time, and use the same classification.

Published: December 2024

Objective: to study the dynamics of performance and its regulatory neurovegetative support in professional football players under various anaerobic energy supply regimes at the stages of the preparatory period.

Materials and methods: in a prospective study, 16 male athletes aged 18–20 years, first sports category, the main squad of the Smolensk State University of Sports football team at a special preparatory stage of the training and competition cycle were examined. Athletes performed anaerobic tests lasting 6, 15, and 45 seconds to assess, respectively, speed-strength abilities, maximum alactic power and glycolytic endurance on a modernized version of the Ergomedic 894E “Monark” bicycle ergometer. The functional state of athletes in the dynamics of the tests was assessed by diagnosing heart rate variability indicators using the “Varicard 2.6” device.

Results: the initial values of anaerobic performance in qualified football players were high during all three tests and corresponded to their qualification. Intensive training factors of the preparatory period were reflected in the potentiation of their special performance. At the same time, the least “trainable” in the dynamics of the preparatory period, but the most stable and less “costly” in the neurovegetative provision of muscle activity were speed-strength abilities. With the transition to the test assessment of the dynamics of maximum alactic power (MAP) and glycolytic endurance in football players, more significant increases in the values of the corresponding indicators were noted, most pronounced by the end of the special preparatory period. However, such progress in anaerobic performance indicators was accompanied by negative dynamics in HRV indicators (a significant decrease in HF values, the most pronounced increase in LF, LF / HF, VLF), which can be assessed as an overstrain of autonomic regulation, initial signs of overtraining.

Conclusion: the most difficult in terms of the tension of autonomous regulation is recognized as a 45-second anaerobic test, during which the metabolism switches to glycolysis. The obtained results prove the validity of modifications of training regimes of football players at the preparatory stage, aimed at optimizing/reducing the loads of alactate and glycolytic orientation in favor of aerobic training, in order to “bring out” athletes to the best test sports results while maintaining an adequate functional state.

Published: December 2024

Merdeka Belajar is a form of educational brand in the form of a learning curriculum product in the current era in Indonesia. Merdeka Belajar has strong values and uniqueness that have never been done in Indonesia in previous curricula. Like a brand, Merdeka Belajar is a form of brand in the realm of education. The development of the era that continues to advance as fast as a geometric progression with the advancement of digital technology, requires everyone to be equipped with adequate education in order to answer the challenges of problems in their lives. In the digital era, criticizing education is no longer difficult, but in reality there are still many Indonesian children as the successors of the nation who do not have this opportunity at an early school age. School age for children is the right of every next generation, school age is the initial foundation for the formation of character, behavior, and morals of children at an early age. Data in 2000, experienced an educational crisis which was then raised and depicted through the big screen film Laskar Pelangi. The phenomenon of the true story in the story has not been resolved to this day. It is hoped that with advances in technology and human thinking, Merdeka Belajar can become an educational product that supports this gap. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, and the data acquisition method is through literature or content analysis and in-depth interviews with appropriate sources, so that accurate and verifiable data will be obtained.

Published: December 2024

Republic Act No. 9155 of 2001 grants all school heads of the Department of Education in the Philippines the authority to administer and manage all personnel, physical, and fiscal resources of the school. The fiscal management practices of school leaders ensure the efficient and effective use of resources to support the goals of the institutions. Hence, this study explored the financial management practices of secondary school heads along financial management, specifically along fund sourcing, budget allocation, procurement, liquidation, and disbursement. This study used meta-synthesis to analyze the qualitative data obtained from the informants through interviews. This qualitative study employed a case study as its research method. Utilizing this design will provide information about the experiences, difficulties, and strategies encountered by the school head in managing the school’s financial resources. The results of the study implied that the key informants were best at outsourcing funds and complete, accurate, reliable, and on-time reporting of financial resources. This is attributed to the compliance of school heads with the accounting and auditing rules and regulations. The principal’s transparency was considered a crucial element, as a school leader and their finance team had strategies for budget planning and utilization. Moreover, school heads’ adherence to accounting rules and regulations guaranteed efficient and effective financial management. These best practices of the school heads served as their commitment to upholding effective and efficient practices when it comes to financial management in school.
CFD Simulation of Steady, Compressible Flow around the Naca 2412 Airfoil
Authors: Omenai Stanley A.
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The study of fluids is key for understanding the world around us. Today, aircrafts are ubiquitous for transportation of goods and personnel. The key forces at play during aircraft propulsion; lift and drag, are affected by the shape and positioning of the airfoils around the aircraft. Understanding of the flow dynamics around the airfoil in an aircraft is vital to optimizing its design.
Methodology: In this study, analysis of the NACA 2412 airfoil is carried out using ANSYS Fluent. A 2D model of the airfoil in a rectangular flow domain is developed, with air as the working fluid. The viscous-inviscid fluid model is assumed. Pressure-based solver type is adopted, with absolute velocity formulation and steady time. The pressure, density, velocity and Mach number behaviours at two different velocities and angles of attack respectively are then analysed.
Findings: At velocity magnitude of 285 m/s, there is a gradual change in fluid properties (pressure and density) after the leading edge, and a sharp change in the fluid properties towards the trailing edge of the airfoil. The former signifies the formation of expansion waves while the latter signifies the formation of shock waves. The flow after the stagnation point also moves gradually from subsonic to supersonic upstream of the shock wave, and abruptly to subsonic after the shock wave. This indicates that as freestream velocity approaches the speed of sound, there is increased tendency for the formation of expansion and shock waves. The nature and location of the waves depend on the angle of attack of the airfoil.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The analysis results provide significant insights into the aerodynamic behaviour of airfoils under different flight conditions, providing a more cost-effective solution for aircraft design optimization, compared to using models in wind tunnels at the early design stages.

Authors: He Tengxin , Lia Ning
Published: December 2024

Measuring age heterogeneity and the role of vaccines in the epidemic, an age-structured SVEIHR model is developed to simulate the propagation of the third outbreak of COVID-19 in Liaoning Province. Based on the actual data, parameters are obtained by the MCMC method and used in numerical analysis and the calculation of the basic reproduction number
for different contact patterns and vaccine efficacy. The appropriate method of epidemic management obtained in this paper is to conduct self-quarantine first, and then resume work under the management policy, which can productively halt the epidemic. Besides, it is found that vaccination can effectively alleviate the epidemic situation. Specifically, the more effective the vaccine is, the fewer people will become infected.
Hollywood’s enchantment and cursed underbelly
Authors: Chen Xi , Chen Chih-Kai
Published: December 2024

In recent years, the global film industry has been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the United States and India, the top two countries with the highest number of confirmed cases, have been hit particularly hard. This has resulted in Hollywood and Bollywood, the leaders of the film industry, being greatly affected. However, many may not have noticed that Nigeria’s film industry, located in Africa, has been rapidly catching up in the past decade. In fact, it has even achieved an astonishing production value of nearly 6 billion U.S. dollars in recent years, making it the third largest film-producing country in the world, after the United States and India.
In reality, according to the experience of the global film industry leader, Hollywood, at least six to seven out of ten films are critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful, with only one film barely breaking even. This harsh market experience, like the curse of Cassandra in Greek mythology, is usually very accurate in predicting outcomes, but most people do not believe it.
This work aims to explore the unique characteristics of the film industry, especially focusing on the Hollywood film industry in the United States, attempting to deconstruct issues such as its unique operational structure, financial accounting, marketing, and the integration of new media portfolios. Finally, this work quotes an interesting perspective from a well-known film playwright, emphasizing that the unique charm of the film industry may lie in the fact that “there is no other business like film that invests a huge amount of money to produce a product that cannot guarantee people will buy. Similarly, there is no other business where people, after consuming it, have nothing else except memories.

Using the Bayesian method to estimate the exponential survival regression model for stomach cancer patients in Iraq
Authors: Mezher Ahmed Salam , Ibrahim Wadhah S.
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we will rely on a probability distribution, which is the exponential distribution, to build a parametric survival regression model, which is the exponential survival regression model, relying on the Cox regression model to be used in forming this model. The data used in this research were obtained through the Cancer Council in Iraq, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Health. The data was represented by a figure of patients with stomach cancer for a period of two years (2021-2022), who were registered from the onset of symptoms to hospitalization and then death or recovery., and they numbered 200 sick, the data represents the length of stay of patients in the hospital in months. This aims to study the effect of some explanatory variables on the length of survival of stomach cancer patients. The model was used to analyze the data and estimate the parameters of this model using the Bayesian method, and using goodness-of-fit tests provided by the statistical program. The ready-made Easy Fit 5.6 test is the Kolmokrov-Smirnov test, the Anderson-Darlink test, and the Chi-Squared test. It turns out that the exponential survival regression model is the most appropriate model for the data of this research, use a program (R 4.3.1), one of the most important conclusions reached was the great convergence between the exponential survival regression model for the estimated values Use a Bayesian method and the exponential survival regression model for the original values. This indicates the effectiveness of the Bayesian method in estimating parameters and its ability to approach the real data. Accurately based on the available data, and when the estimated values of the model are close to the true values of the model, this means that the Bayesian method that was used for estimation is highly accurate and that the model that was used for estimation has estimated it well and reflects the facts accurately.
Merleau-Ponty e a fenomenologia da pintura
Authors: Rauchbach Pedro
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo busca desenvolver uma análise geral a respeito da experiência pictórica tal qual é entrevista fenomenologicamente na perspectiva de Merleau-Ponty. Assim como compreender como o pensador interpreta a ruptura da arte moderna através da figura revolucionária de Paul Cézanne, e analisar outros movimentos artísticos contemporâneos que romperam com a arte objetivista. Lembrando que a arte objetivista deriva de uma concepção cientificista da arte que busca reduzir tudo, inclusive a experiência artística e pictórica a elementos explicativos de toda ordem. A fenomenologia, assim como a arte moderna, buscam o rompimento com essas estruturas de pensamento que apenas impedem o fluxo criativo dentro dos movimentos artísticos.
Sobre a filosofia da linguagem
Authors: Oliveira Doramis Dória
Published: December 2024

Este artigo pretende abordar brevemente alguns momentos da jornada da filosofia da linguagem, trazendo os embates clássicos entre a visão convencionalista e naturalista, bem como o embate moderno entre a visão nominalista e realista e, a partir disso, falaremos sobre a virada linguística da filosofia contemporânea, tendo em vista o estruturalismo do filósofo Ferdinand de Saussure e, como pensamento contrário a este, o filósofo pós-estruturalista Gilles Deleuze. Este artigo divide-se em 3 partes; No primeiro momento, nos concentraremos em trazer, a partir da obra “Crátilo” (1988), de Platão, o embate entre Hermógenes (convencionalista), Crátilo (naturalista), e Sócrates e, não obstante, utilizaremos como contraponto à visão naturalista, o convencionalismo de Aristóteles presente em “Da Interpretação” (2013). No segundo momento, investigaremos o embate entre Leibniz (realista) e Locke (nominalista) através das obras “Novos Ensaios sobre o entendimento humano” (1980) e “Ensaio acerca do entendimento humano” (1999), levando em consideração as semelhanças entre Aristóteles, Hermógenes e Locke, bem como as semelhanças entre Leibniz e o Crátilo de Platão. No terceiro momento, este trabalho, com a intenção de marcar a mudança da forma tradicional de investigar a linguagem na filosofia (pela epistemologia, metafísica, empirismo, etc) para à investigação da estrutura interna das proposições, enunciados, etc. como a melhor forma de compreender a linguagem, consideraremos analisar a “virada linguística” de Saussure, utilizando, como objeto principal de leitura, a sua obra “Curso de Linguística geral” (2006) e não somente, abordaremos sobre a filosofia da linguagem que não colabora com a noção de que a linguagem é necessariamente sua estrutura interna formada pelas unidades representativas das coisas. Para isso, utilizaremos como referência, a obra “A lógica do sentido” (1974) de Gilles Deleuze.
A dialética entre causalidade e teleologia a partir do trabalho segundo György Lukács
Authors: Silva Junior Aldenir Costa da
Published: December 2024

O projeto lukacsiano de elaboração de uma ética resultou no estabelecimento de uma ontologia do ser social. Dentre as categorias abordadas pelo autor nesse campo de seu pensamento, chamamos a atenção para as noções de causalidade e teleologia. Embora estes conceitos se mostrem como inconciliáveis para um olhar imediato, Lukács argumenta que existe uma articulação entre eles através da práxis do ser social. Essa relação se mostra possível a partir do trabalho e de seus pores teleológicos realizados pelo ser humano. Para reforçar o seu posicionamento, o autor busca apontar para equívocos em pensamentos de filósofos anteriores no que diz respeito a concepções sobre o curso da história e seu suposto caráter teleológico. Tal postura é assumida na intenção de defender a tese de que a teleologia somente se efetiva verdadeiramente no âmbito do ser social.
Os modelos gerativos de linguagens naturais como próteses de percepção
Authors: Pozetti Filho Fernando Alberto
Published: December 2024

A experiência fílmica se alastrou a grande parte da população mundial produzindo mutações no sentir. Argumentamos neste artigo sobre a causalidade cognoscível entre a abstração dos signos – fenomenologicamente reduzidos e projetados em telas analógicas/digitais – com a organicidade e inteligibilidade da interação escópica do olhar. O conjunto de induções psíquicas decorrentes destas experiências de “mutação da sensibilidade” se mostram agenciadas por uma natureza estimulante, cujo poder de controle subjetivo é massivo e determinante. Iremos apresentar uma breve genealogia do uso de telas como prótese de percepção, iniciando com a invenção do cinema e sua contribuição às ideologias revolucionárias e contrarrevolucionárias, igualmente na integração estratégica do império americano e na filiação da população alemã ao nazismo. Com a mudança do suporte entre analógico-digital este cenário se torna altamente complexo na dita pós-modernidade. Tal cenário de expropriação da cognição voltou a ter, nos recentes ataques neofascistas às democracias, justamente o investimento e adesões às produções audiovisuais (fake news e negacionismos) direcionadas ao gerenciamento ideológico e ontológico de populações. Por fim, analisaremos os atuais modelos gerativos de linguagens naturais (LLM) utilizados pela inteligência artificial-deep learning, ressaltando como tais ferramentas delinearão as qualidades subjetivas e políticas da humanidade nos próximos anos.
A dimensão humana rousseauniana
Authors: Santos Fábio José dos
Published: December 2024

O artigo tem como objetivo evidenciar o homem rousseauniano que se desnaturou, mas que enxerga possibilidades de aproximação com a sua natureza, ou seja, o homem que mesmo inserido em sociedade, em um cenário corrompido tem contato com momentos que o aproximam de sua “essência perdida”, de modo assim a formar um ambiente natural neste cenário. Utilizamos como obras fundamentais, o Livro V de Emílio, a Quinta Caminhada dos Devaneios e as Cartas XI (quarta parte) e II (quinta parte) do romance Júlia ou A Nova Heloísa. Concluímos que, apesar do cenário caótico em que o homem se inseriu, a sua identidade natural permanece intacta e, desse modo, ele pode reconciliar-se com a sua natureza e cultura, tendo em vista a sua autonomia e o consequente desenvolvimento de suas potencialidades.
Uma análise do experimento em Claude Bernard e Pierre Duhem
Authors: Azevedo Luis Fernando Silva de
Published: December 2024

Pierre Duhem aborda, em A teoria física: seu objeto e sua estrutura (1906), a formulação e as implicações de uma teoria baseada na experiência. Nesse contexto, Duhem resgata a concepção de Claude Bernard acerca da fisiologia experimental. Duhem, ao descrever o processo experimental bernardiano, aponta que este é “difícil de ser praticado”, e considera a análise lógica dessa experimentação “muito simples”. Apesar de sublinhar tais pontos da tese de seu conterrâneo, Duhem, não apresenta uma proposta muito diferente. Desse modo, nossa proposta consiste na análise, por meio das lentes duhemianas, das metodologias experimentais empregadas; e em seguida nos ocupamos em identificar quais as razões para o desenvolvimento da fisiologia em Bernard e em que medida essa proposta se aproxima da de Duhem.
New Approach to the Yakut Language Dictionary: Preface as Paratext
Authors: Stepanovna Rufova Elena
Published: December 2024

This article investigates the communicative and pragmatic potential of the lexicographic preface, with a focus on the preface to the Dictionary of the Yakut Language by E.K. Pekarsky (1907), which creation is associated with the Sibiryakov’s (Yakut) expedition of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society (1894-1896). Publishing of this dictionary is determined as a significant scientific fact for researchers of the issues of Yakut linguistics in the context of the scientific paradigm of Russian Turkology. The present study aims to explore the historical, social, and cultural factors influencing the creation of the preface, using a socio-pragmatic and anthropocentric approach. The research utilizes contextual, comparative, and source analysis methods to examine how paratextual elements in the preface shape the reader’s understanding of the dictionary. By analyzing Pekarsky’s rhetorical strategies, such as his self-presentation and engagement with the reader, the study reveals how the preface communicates the significance of the dictionary’s creation. The findings underscore the informative-pragmatic function of the preface, highlighting its role in conveying historical and research insights into the development of the Yakut-Russian dictionary. Ultimately, the preface serves as a key paratext that informs the reader about the lexicographic and historical context of the dictionary.

Published: December 2024

This study explores an intelligent approach to data quality management using AI-powered quality monitoring systems. Traditional data quality processes often rely on manual interventions, which are time-consuming, error-prone, and incapable of handling the increasing volume and complexity of modern datasets. AI-driven solutions address these limitations by leveraging machine learning, automation, and anomaly detection to continuously monitor, towards detect inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and missing values across data pipelines. AI-powered systems not only ensure data integrity but also optimize data processing workflows, reducing the need for human oversight. Additionally, automated monitoring provides actionable insights for proactive issue resolution, thereby improving overall data governance and analytical outcomes. This paper highlights the benefits of implementing AI-based quality monitoring, including improved accuracy, scalability, and efficiency in data management processes. The study concludes that AI-powered data quality management is a transformative solution for businesses seeking to maintain high-quality data in a dynamic and complex analytics landscape. Accurate analytics and successful decision-making in today's data-driven economy depend on ensuring data quality. An insightful method for managing data quality using quality monitoring systems driven by AI is presented in this paper. Automated statistics cleansing, anomaly detection, and real-time consistency assurance are three ways in which AI-driven solutions tackle these problems. A.I. improves data correctness, finds mistakes, gets rid of duplicates, and fills in gaps in datasets by using machine learning algorithms, predictive analytics, and anomaly detection methods. In addition, AI systems keep a close eye on data pipelines, offering insights and solutions to prevent data breaches in real time. Data management scalability, efficiency, and dependability are all enhanced by this method, which also decreases the need for human involvement. The results show that analytics systems are much improved with AI-powered data quality management, which helps businesses get better insights and make better choices. We can get high-quality data, optimised processes, and enhanced analytical findings by incorporating AI into data quality frameworks, according to this research

Published: December 2024

In recent years, surprisingly, there has been a change in mentality. It means people are much more diverted to the herbal or natural things as compared to synthetic, chemically active products. As studies indicate, there are so many harmful and sometimes toxic side effects seen in the use of chemically active ingredients. Like lead, copper, arsenic etc. It's not 100% mandatory that all synthetic products and medicines are wrong, but the people literally give their interest in using natural products because of less than 1% or rarely side effects. The main motive to present this work is to formulate the herbal hand wash by using herbal (natural) raw material: neem, tulsi, aloe vera, rose extract, lemon juice. Dirty hands are the primary site for any viral microbial or bacterial infection. Therefore, it brings up the use of antiseptic as caring, nontoxic, safe and natural hand washing purpose
Autoimmune Disorder An Overview
Authors: Yash Arvind Hete  , Mr. Dipak Tonchar
Published: December 2024

Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders characterized by the immune system erroneously attacking the body’s own cells, mistaking them for foreign invaders. This maladaptive immune response, driven by the production of autoantibodies, results in tissue damage and dysfunction. Autoimmune conditions may target specific organs, such as the pancreas in type 1 diabetes, or manifest systemically, as seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Currently, over 80 distinct autoimmune diseases have been identified, with their prevalence on the rise in industrialized nations.
The etiology of autoimmune diseases is multifactorial, involving genetic predispositions, environmental triggers, and potential infections. Common examples include rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease, though autoimmune mechanisms are also implicated in conditions like arteriosclerosis and schizophrenia. Notably, autoimmune diseases exhibit a pronounced sex disparity, disproportionately affecting females, likely due to hormonal and genetic differences. Understanding the shared pathogenesis and diverse manifestations of autoimmune diseases is critical to developing targeted treatments and addressing their growing global burden
A Review on Nano Emulsion: Characteristics, Formulation and Types
Authors: Gauri Kishorrao Shirbhate  , Dr. Bhanupratap Patidar
Published: December 2024

In pharmaceutical formulations, nanoemulsions are practical in the nanometer range. They have the ability to encapsulate drugs that are poorly soluble in water due to their hydrophobic nature and also consist of safe gradient excipients, making them safer and more stable for drug delivery. The treatment of cancer has been a problem for several decades, because the drugs developed to treat this disease have not always succeeded or even failed, mainly due to low solubility and non-specific toxicity. This problem can be solved with a nanoemulsion, because it not only solves the water solubility problems, but also provides a specific target for cancer cells. This chapter provides an overview of nanoemulsions and various approaches to prepare nanoemulsions, which include high energy approaches such as microfluidizer high pressure valve homogenization, ultrasonic homogenization. For low-energy approaches, the phase inversion composition, phase inversion temperature, and emulsion inversion point for spontaneous emulsification are discussed in detail

Cet article analyse les recherches sur l’histoire du Congo centrées sur la gestion de la faune, l’agriculture et l’exploitation minière, trois secteurs clés de l’économie (post)coloniale, à l’aune de perspectives socio-environnementales et met en évidence un ensemble de débats historiographiques dépassant ce seul cas. Il entend montrer comment l’intégration de l’histoire environnementale, de l’histoire sociale, et de perspectives d’histoire plus-qu’humaine renouvelle les approches, méthodes et récits. Il soutient que les catégories analytiques nécessaires à l’appréhension des inégalités socio-environnementales ne peuvent reposer uniquement sur les dichotomies traditionnelles entre régimes précoloniaux/coloniaux/nationaux, colonisateurs et colonisés, local et global, nature et populations humaines, et que les historiens et historiennes doivent affiner les catégories concernant les usages environnementaux pour appréhender ceux-ci plus finement. Il souligne de plus que les récits d’histoire socio-environnementale et plus-qu’humaine permettent de mieux appréhender la teneur, les incidences et les héritages historiques des politiques humaines, formant ainsi de précieux adjuvants pour déconstruire plutôt que reproduire des discours, paradigmes et catégories historiquement contingents maisdevenus dominants depuis l’ère coloniale, y compris dans les récits académiques.

Progression of Blastocystis Infection in Experimental Mice
Authors: Toriano Sherwin B.
Published: December 2024

The infectivity of Blastocystis cysts in the experimental mice model was further studied using isolates from human feces. Two groups of Swiss mice were orally infected with purified and concentrated Blastocystis cysts isolated from watery and formed human feces. Mice fecal Blastocystis cyst count by Direct Fecal Smear was performed daily post-inoculation for 10 days. Parasite intestinal shedding was detected as early as 2-3 days. Peak cystic count was observed after 4-7 days and declined thereafter. There was no significant difference in the infectivity of Blastocystis cysts isolated from watery or formed human feces.
Laboratory-Prepared Quality Control Solution for Urine Test Strips
Authors: Toriano Sherwin B.
Published: December 2024

A urinalysis test consists of three distinct examinations: physical, chemical, and microscopic. The various chemical tests are performed with a urine strip. A urine strip is a plastic dipstick with absorbent square pads embedded with chemicals that represent certain reactions. A quality control scheme should ensure that the urine strips are functioning properly by detecting the positives in various grades. A proposed laboratory-prepared control solution is a mixture of glucose powder, acetone, human serum, hemolyzed human red cells, and normal saline solution. This solution serves as a positive control to test the accuracy of urine strips for sugar, protein, pH, blood, and density. The triplicate daily test results in these parameters were consistent and showed no significant difference. This laboratory-prepared control solution is equivalent to a positive control level 2 and stable until 15 days when properly dispensed in sterile capped tubes and kept at a refrigerated temperature.

This research presents the final results of the scientific initiation project, whose objective was to identify the interrelationships between the cognitive processes of memory, emotions and feelings in the development of learning in the school context of the initial years of Elementary School. The research is bibliographic in nature (Gil, 2022), carried out in two stages: on a theoretical level, studies on Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Psychology were reviewed; on a documentary level, dissertations and theses produced between 2015 and 2024 were collected, with the aim of identifying the learning concepts of teachers in the initial years of Elementary School. It was concluded that teaching research is essential both to exercise researcher and teacher skills, as well as to learn about new foundations that are crucial for pedagogical practices, as they promote significant learning, which not only consolidates knowledge, but also fosters environments motivating, inclusive and culturally relevant, crucial elements for a transformative education adapted to students’ needs.

Pesticides are widely used in various crops and are associated with environmental impacts. The herbicide 2,4-D, for example, can cause phytotoxicity in different plant species, including leguminous plants that can be used for green manure. In this context, the present research aimed to identify the phytotoxicity of 2,4-D during the initial growth of six terrestrial plant species, including Cajanus cajan, Canavalia ensiformis, Crotalaria juncea, Dolichos lablab, Lupinus albus, and Mucuna pruriens. The studied plants were exposed to different concentrations of 2,4-D (from 0.8 to 4.0 mg kg-1) for 14 days after the germination in control treatments. The endpoints were the germination percentage, the shoot and root lengths, and fresh and dry biomass. Fresh and dry biomass results were interpreted in terms of the Tolerance Index (TI), and the concentrations of 50% inhibition effect (EC50) were calculated for germination and shoot and root length. Four species showed germination above 87.5% for all treatments (EC50 > 4.0 mg kg-1), while this endpoint was below 50% for C. cajan and L. albus at the highest concentrations. The growth of all species was impaired when they were exposed to 2,4-D, with an increase in herbicide concentrations leading to a decrease in the lengths of shoots and roots. The effect on shoot length was more pronounced for L. albus, M. pruriens, and C. cajan (EC50 < 2.0 mg kg-1). The root length inhibition was more evident for C. cajan, C. juncea, L. albus, and D. lablab (EC50 < 1.0 mg kg-1). Swollen roots and yellowing of leaves stood out among the qualitative symptoms of phytotoxicity. Among the tested plants, M. pruriens was the most tolerant (TI > 60% in all treatments), standing out as the species with the most significant potential for green manure in crops during the off-season.

Com o avanço industrial, tecnológico e social, torna-se indiscutível que cada modificação da natureza, com o objetivo de beneficiar o ser humano, gera consequências não somente para o ambiente mas, também, para os indivíduos que a promoveram. O uso de produtos plásticos, por exemplo, se instaurou com base nas necessidades cotidianas da sociedade. Nesse sentido, se destaca a produção mundial cada vez maior de plastificantes, tais como os ftalatos, presentes na composição de materiais de construção, produtos químicos, utensílios hospitalares, embalagens de alimentos, produtos de limpeza doméstica, cosméticos, entre outros. No entanto, esses compostos são considerados tóxicos, sendo classificados como desreguladores endócrinos ambientais, capazes de comprometer a homeostase, a reprodução e o desenvolvimento animal. Órgãos hormônio-dependentes, como a próstata, estão especialmente predispostos a sofrer alterações quando expostos aos ftalatos. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho tem o objetivo de apresentar os principais tipos de ftalatos dispersos no meio ambiente, bem como destacar seus efeitos sobre a próstata. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura acerca dos processos de estresse oxidativo, inflamação e carcinogênese, considerando, ainda, as principais vias e eventos moleculares – dentre eles, a epigenética – afetados por ftalatos.
