Expanding the assortment of low-fat yogurt with natural structuring sweeteners and regulated quality indicators is an actual direction of scientific research. The purpose of the study is to study the patterns of influence of the products of enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch with different dextrose equivalents on the rheological, physical and chemical characteristics of yogurt. Тhe functional and technological properties of starch products of different chemical composition were studied – maltodextrin MD-10, glucose syrup IG-42 and glucose-fructose syrup GFS-42. The possibility of completely replacing dry skimmed milk and sugar in the composition of yogurt with a fat content of 1% drinkable with an equivalent content of dry substances of maltodextrin MD-10 and glucose syrup IG-42, which ensure the formation of rheological characteristics inherent high-quality yogurt. Yogurt with sucrose, which inhibits the organization of macromolecular chains of milk proteins, has the lowest thixotropic ability, and yogurt with maltodextrin MD-10 and glucose syrup IG-42 has the highest. The predominance of higher sugars in the composition of MD-10 maltodextrin lengthens, and the increased content of monosaccharides in GFS-42 accelerates the duration of fermentation of milk mixtures in the technological process of production of yogurt with a fat content of 1.0%. Monosaccharides in the composition of GFS-42 significantly affect the activity of water and at the same time reduce the moisture-retaining capacity of the sour-milk yogurt curd. The degree of influence on the rheological characteristics and moisture-binding capacity of yogurt increases with a decrease in the dextrose equivalent of starch products in the following sequence: GFS-42 → IG-42 → MD-10. So, it is the dextrose equivalent of starch products that is an objective criterion of their technological activity as part of yogurt. The results of the study will allow purposeful management of the process of forming low-fat yogurt quality indicators.

The purpose of the research is formation of the functional and technological properties of a multi-purpose film from intestinal raw materials during drying. Its hygroscopic properties after drying at temperatures ranging from 40 to 70°C were studied. It was established that the increase of the drying temperature leads to the decrease in the amount of moisture that the sample absorbs from the environment. Ranges of relative air humidity at which it is possible to store dried products in vapor-permeable packaging have been determined. It is noted that the storage of the multifunctional film is possible in a vapor-tight package with an increase in air humidity relative to the recommended ranges. The operations of packing dried film and making sausage casings from it, which follow after drying operation, are described. It was noted, that during these operations there are mechanical deformations of the film bending at angles up to 180°. It was established, that there is no violation of the integrity of the film, provided that it is bent to an angle of 180° during the packaging of finished products and the production of sausage casings from it. The integrity of the manufactured casings after their recovery during the production of sausage products has been proven. The elastic-plastic properties of the intestinal raw material film obtained at different drying temperatures were investigated. It was found, that strength of the film increases and its plasticity decreases in case of increasing the drying temperature. It is noted that, from the point of view of strength, the highest drying temperature from the range of 40–70°С. From the point of view of plastic properties, the minimum temperature should be chosen from the specified range. Studies of the drying process of a wet multifunctional film from intestinal raw materials have determined the rational values of the temperature and duration of the its drying. It is noted that during the selection of the drying temperature in the technology of obtaining a multifunctional film from intestinal raw materials, the determining factor is the functional and technological properties of the obtained semi-finished product, which depend on the drying temperature.
USE OF OAK ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS IN VINIFICATION
Authors: Aleksovych V. , Tkachenko О.
Published: August 2024

Traditionally, the best wines are aged in oak barrels. It is generally accepted that the quality of wines and spirits depends on their aging in contact with oak wood. The selection of oak wood and its maturation are mandatory stages of barrel production. Considering the many factors involved in the selection of raw materials and the natural drying phase of oak wood, it is very difficult to determine the effect of drying time and the effect of wood selection factors. Wines aged in contact with wood are in great demand among consumers around the world. Oak wood allows you to change the organoleptic characteristics of wine. Numerous phenomena occur during aging in wood and affect the structure of the wine. These are mainly oxidation-reduction reactions, dissolution of volatile and non-volatile components of wood, which enrich wines. Aromas derived from oak wood contribute to the wine's aromatic profile, and the main extractable polyphenols ellagitannins can alter taste sensations such as astringency and bitterness. Thus, all the compounds derived from the wood contribute to the balance and quality of the wines. These phenomena themselves depend on numerous parameters, including the nature and conditions of barrel production, as well as the storage temperature or the ethanol content of the alcoholic beverages to be matured. Aging of wine in containers with the addition of alternative products from oak wood is becoming more and more popular in all wine-producing countries of the world. The main reasons for the development of such products are the optimization of their production, the reduction of the cost of wine aging, as well as the improvement of the level of hygiene in production. This review discusses traditional and alternative winemaking technologies and their impact on wine quality and sensory characteristics. The rapid spread of alternative aging technologies justifies a study evaluating the impact of the oak alternative on the chemical characteristics of wines and evaluating any differences from the traditional aging of wines and spirits in oak barrels.
DINÁMICA EN UNA SOCIEDAD DE FRONTERA: TANDIL, ARGENTINA, 1840-1880
Authors: Zalakain Marcelino Irianni
Published: August 2024

Resumen Hasta la segunda década del siglo XIX el espacio al sur del río Salado (Argentina) era territorio indígena. Veinticinco años más tarde comenzaron a llegar inmigrantes a aldeas como Tandil, conformando lo que luego sería la provincia de Buenos Aires. Los especialistas en indígenas e inmigrantes han avanzado en la comprensión de estos campos desde el comienzo de los años 1980. Sin embargo, mientras unos necesitaron atomizar el objeto de estudio por nacionalidad e incluso regionalismos, otros pusieron un énfasis mayormente antropológico en estudiar cacicatos importantes mientras avanzaban en categorías que permitieron desenmarañar un mundo indígena que se creía heterogéneo. Un tercer grupo analizó y discutió ideas sobre los criollos, descubriendo que el gaucho fue un personaje casi exótico y que se hablaba del mismo sin adentrarse en su distancia abismal entre la élite local y los pobres, privados de toda posibilidad hasta 1880. La mirada era binaria: indígenas y criollos, mientras los extranjeros se movían en el escenario cual actores protagónicos a los que acompañaba la luz de un reflector. Nos proponemos avanzar en una mirada holística, tomando el caso vasco como testigo, que tenga en cuenta la historicidad y que revise la documentación en busca de dinamizar el conjunto. También buscamos recuperar la relación sustancial con un medio ambiente que se presentó hasta hace tiempo como una escenografía sugerente, salvo excepciones sobre el mundo indígena.
EXPRESIONES FIDELISTAS, ABSOLUTISTAS Y ANTILIBERALES, QUITO 1809-1822
Authors: Naranjo Alexandra Sevilla
Published: August 2024

Resumen Este artículo expone la diversidad de manifestaciones y propuestas políticas de la contrarrevolución en la Audiencia de Quito entre 1809 y 1822. Se demuestra que las respuestas a la revolución fueron diversas y cambiantes según los contextos, con una gran capacidad de movilización social. La unidad inicial frente a la crisis de 1808 muy pronto se quebró para dar lugar a un escenario político fragmentado. Con sus tensiones internas, los realistas quiteños hicieron frente a los desafíos que supusieron la insurgencia y el liberalismo gaditano. La élite indígena también fue crítica con la Constitución de 1812 para mantener sus antiguos privilegios. La estabilidad anunciada con la restauración absolutista de Fernando VII fue sólo un espejismo pasajero. En adelante, la revolución española de 1820 constituyó un nuevo desafío que algunos afrontaron tomando partido por la opción independentista.

Authors: Guimarães Filho Durval Rabelo , Sinésio Luis Eduardo Moraes
Published: August 2024

Resumo Este estudo é um desmembramento da dissertação de mestrado do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação Profissional (ProfEPT)2 do IFMS e pretende identificar a percepção dos educadores de como ocorreu o processo de ensino e aprendizagem durante as aulas remotas e, logo após, com o retorno presencial. O objetivo é analisar os impactos percebidos pelos docentes do Centro Estadual de Educação Profissional Padre João Greiner, na aprendizagem dos alunos, durante as suas ações no ensino médio integrado, na pandemia do SARS-COV-2. As metodologias ativas são promotoras do protagonismo e autonomia do estudante, principalmente a metodologia da problematização, por isso, indicadas para a promoção de ensino com ação transformadora, dialógica e reflexiva, tão necessário no presente momento. A pesquisa possui características de abordagem qualitativa, de natureza aplicada e os objetivos foram apreendidos de forma descritiva. O método é uma pesquisa-ação, cujo caminho da investigação estabeleceu-se pelas etapas da Metodologia da Problematização com o Arco de Maguerez e, como método de organização dos dados para geração de resultados, tem-se o princípio da Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD). O processo se concretizou com a proposta de elaboração de um caderno didático, enquanto se realiza uma formação de professores, durante a pesquisa-ação colaborativa. Como resultado, constatou-se um aumento da desigualdade educacional, um déficit na aprendizagem dos alunos, agravado por problemas de relacionamento. Estudantes desmotivados e professores que, apesar de receberem um aporte mínimo de recursos tecnológicos, não estavam capacitados para o uso.
Modelo situacional para la restauración ecológica en un área priorizada para la conectividad en la ciudad de Bogotá
Authors: Pérez Suárez Bibiana
Published: August 2024

Dado que las áreas verdes urbanas se encuentran en condiciones de muy alta fragmentación, y que los parques en las ciudades se han identificado como espacios que forman parte de la Estructura Ecológica Principal, en los que es posible la visita y hábitat de varias especies de fauna, el Instituto Distrital de Recreación y Deporte y el Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis coordinaron actividades con el objetivo de iniciar y mantener acciones de restauración ecológica en parques de la ciudad de Bogotá. En el caso del Parque Metropolitano Simón Bolívar, se identificó un área denominada La Isla, creada artificialmente dentro del lago como zona de embarque de las lanchas y que luego fue priorizada como área de importancia ecológica por el frecuente arribo de avifauna.
Con el fin de mejorar las condiciones ecológicas del sector La Isla, fue necesaria la formulación de un modelo situacional de restauración ecológica que permitiera establecer las estrategias requeridas para proveer de hábitats adecuados para la avifauna y la conectividad ecológica de este escenario, que sirva de punto de partida para áreas verdes urbanas con características similares. El modelo de restauración ecológica construido para el Parque Metropolitano Simón Bolívar, sector La Isla, se basó en los estándares abiertos, y se realizó a través del software MIRADI.
En el modelo elaborado se reconocen cinco objetos de conservación para los cuales se identificaron cinco amenazas directas que influyen negativamente sobre estos. A su vez, existen amenazas indirectas que para este modelo se observaron seis. Y, por último, se establecen estrategias con las que se pretende reducir las amenazas que puedan afectar el ecosistema y encaminar la restauración ecológica hacia el objetivo de consolidar el núcleo ecológico para conectividad y conservación del área verde urbana.
Nuevas dimensiones del derecho a gozar de un ambiente sano en Colombia
Authors: Rodríguez Gloria Amparo , Cumbe Figueroa Alexandra , Gómez Rey Andrés
Published: August 2024

El derecho a gozar de un ambiente sano, considerado como un derecho humano, ha sido analizado e interpretado por la Corte Constitucional colombiana, desde la entrada en vigor de la Carta Política de 1991, en aras de definir su naturaleza y responder a los desafíos relacionados con la protección del ambiente y el bienestar de las personas. La consagración constitucional de este derecho como colectivo y el aumento de los conflictos ambientales en las últimas décadas han llevado a que la Corte Constitucional, a través de su jurisprudencia, profundice en su naturaleza y lo defina como un derecho fundamental, mediante la teoría de la conexidad, lo cual implica que puede ser justiciable con la acción de tutela. Esto representa nuevos retos para el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano y la actividad estatal. Por ello, este artículo busca presentar un panorama jurisprudencial sobre la definición del derecho al ambiente sano, teniendo en cuenta las tendencias actuales adoptadas por los jueces de la República en Colombia, para lo cual se abordará el alcance y contenido del derecho a gozar de un ambiente sano, los antecedentes para su consagración y la definición de su naturaleza, de acuerdo con la jurisprudencia constitucional.

Published: August 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: O envelhecimento populacional no Brasil acontece de forma bastante acelerada e alerta para as condições de saúde dessa população, pois com o adoecimento das pessoas idosas, muitas se tornam dependentes de cuidados específicos, aumentando o número de indivíduos que passarão a exercer o papel de cuidador. OBJETIVO: Esse trabalho teve como objetivo relatar uma experiência de estágio em Psicologia num centro de referência à saúde da pessoa idosa. MÉTODO: O estágio ocorreu entre maio e julho de 2023 e as atividades desenvolvidas nesse período são descritas a partir das observações e práticas realizadas no ambiente de trabalho em saúde. Foram feitos atendimentos psicoterápicos individuais e em grupo com os cuidadores dos pacientes. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: O trabalho realizado nos atendimentos individuais visou oferecer um suporte aos cuidadores que convivem num contexto de trabalho excessivo, pequena rede de apoio social, condições socioeconômicas não favoráveis e desconhecimento sobre as doenças que acometem os idosos, sobretudo as demências. Os atendimentos em grupo possibilitam uma elaboração de conteúdo afetivo e subjetivo de forma conjunta, sendo uma importante rede de apoio social, pois vínculos foram construídos entre os participantes. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: No Centro, há a necessidade de expandir o número de psicólogas da assistência e de retomar atividades que foram suspensas após a pandemia de COVID-19, incluindo grupos de atividades psicoeducativas e comunitárias. Percebe-se também a importância de se formarem mais parcerias entre os campos da saúde e da educação que possibilitem a realização de estágios e outros processos formativos na área do envelhecimento.

Published: August 2024

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a subtype of ovarian cancer with a poor prognosis that often shows resistance to chemotherapy. This study retrospectively analyzed 247 patients with OCCC who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) between August 2007 and August 2023. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify clinicopathological factors associated with OCCC, and a nomogram prediction model was developed to predict OCCC patient survival outcomes. Kaplan‒Meier survival analysis was used to compare survival outcomes among patients with recurrent disease. Compared with systemic therapy, secondary debulking surgery significantly improved the postrecurrence survival (PRS) rate (P = 0.006). Subgroup analysis revealed that the survival benefit was more pronounced in patients with recurrence and satisfactory tumor shrinkage (PPRS = 0.01, PPFS2 = 0.047). The multivariate analysis revealed that positive preoperative ascites, incomplete remission following initial treatment, and undergoing more than six cycles of postoperative chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors affecting overall survival (OS). Additionally, patients with a positive PD-L1 test who received immunotherapy did not experience relapse during the follow-up period. In conclusion, the secondary clearance procedure offers significant benefits for patients with recurrent OCCC, and patients may experience a survival benefit from supplemental immune or targeted therapy at the end of chemotherapy. The development of a personalized treatment plan can help achieve precise treatment, improve prognosis, and enhance patients' quality of life.
La reforma laboral como profundización de la hegemonia deslaboralizadora en argentina
Authors: Gambacorta Mario L.
Published: August 2024

El avance de la tramitación en el Congreso Nacional de la República Argentina, de la denominada Ley de bases y puntos de partida para la libertad de los argentinos, con el apoyo de la mayoría oficialista integrada por diversos bloques; configuró una nueva y profunda ofensiva desprotectoria contra el derecho del trabajo y de la seguridad social. En efecto, los contenidos de esta reforma desreguladora orientada al recorte, reducción y dilución de los derechos sociales; afecta al derecho del trabajo y la seguridad social, tanto en el sector público como en el sector privado. Utilizando categorías del marco teórico que el autor ha dado en denominar enfoque crítico tutelar de las relaciones laborales, se pone especial foco -sin desmedro de la mención de los principales aspectos restrictivos de derechos para el sector público-, en los mecanismos que desarticulan la lógica protectora del derecho del trabajo en el sector privado.

Published: August 2024

The possibility of using the method of magnetoelastic demagnetization (magnetoelastic memory) of ferromagnets to control mechanical stresses of extended steel structures is considered. For this purpose, the paper studies the magnetoelastic demagnetization of a large plate sample, previously locally magnetized in the form of an N-S stripe, under pure bending deformation. Under these deformation conditions, zones of tension and compression alternate along the sheet length; consequently, a locally magnetized steel stripe experiences stresses of different magnitudes and signs along its length. It has been revealed that the highest decrease δН in the stray field strength of local remanent magnetization in the form of an N-S stripe is found in steel sheet areas at the apex of the bend, where tensile stresses do not exceed 100 MPa. In the other parts of the sheet, a periodic distribution of lower δH with a wavelength of 20 to 30 cm was revealed, this being comparable to the size of half of its zone with stresses of the same type created during bending. The obtained results of changes in δH were calibrated according to the level of stresses they experienced, and their distribution along the entire length of the bent sheet was obtained. A conclusion is drawn about the applicability of the magnetoelastic memory method to monitoring the stress state of extended steel structures in the memory mode.
Exact solutions to the NAVIER–STOKES equations for unidirectional flows of micropolar fluids in a mass force field

Published: August 2024

The paper presents a family of exact solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation system used to describe inhomogeneous unidirectional flows of a viscous fluid taking into account couple stresses. Despite the presence of only one non-zero component of the velocity vector, this component depends on time and two spatial coordinates. In view of the incompressibility equation, which is a special case of the mass conservation law, there is no dependence on the third spatial coordinate. The resulting redefined system of equations is considered in a non-stationary formulation. The construction of a family of exact solutions for the resulting redefined equation system begins with the analysis of the homogeneous Couette-type solution as the simplest in this class. Further, the structure of the solution gradually becomes more complicated, i.e. the profile of the only non-zero component of the velocity vector is represented as a polynomial depending on one variable (horizontal coordinate). The polynomial coefficients functionally depend on the second (vertical) coordinate and time. It is shown that, due to the strong nonlinearity and heterogeneity of the equation under study, the sum of its individual solutions is not a solution. It is also shown that, in the linearly independent basis of the power functions of the horizontal coordinate, which determine the above-mentioned polynomial, the equation in question decomposes into a chain of the simplest homogeneous and inhomogeneous parabolic partial differential equations. These equations are integrated sequentially, the order of integration being described separately. The results reported in this study extend the family of previously presented exact solutions to describing unidirectional unsteady flows.
Intrauterine torsion of an ovarian cyst with a fallopian tube followed by self-amputation of the appendages
Authors: Gebekova Safrat
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The most common cause of formations in the abdominal cavity in female fetuses and newborns are ovarian cysts. The appearance of these cysts is due to excessive stimulation of the fetal ovaries by maternal estrogens and placental human chorionic gonadotropin, which causes follicular dysgenesis. Diagnosis is based on the results of antenatal and postnatal echography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Description of the case. We present our own clinical observation of intrauterine torsion of an ovarian cyst with a fallopian tube, followed by self-amputation of the appendages in patient M., who was operated on at the age of 4 months.Conclusion. Ultrasound screening is the main diagnostic method for early detection of congenital ovarian pathology both antenatally and postnatally. The absence in our case of clinical manifestations after birth, as well as the presence of foci of hemorrhage and diffuse massive petrification in the macrospecimen, give reason to believe that torsion of the ovarian cyst with the fallopian tube, followed by self-amputation of the uterine appendages, occurred in utero. Like most authors, we consider the indication for surgery in newborns with ovarian cysts to be its large size, the presence of a suspension in the fluid component of the cyst and additional echo structures.

Bu çalışma, gig ekonomisi mensubu 115 "freelancer" üzerinden statü endişelerini ve bu endişeyle ilişkilendirilen bir dizi değişkeni ele almaktadır. Geleneksel çalışma sistemlerinde ve toplumsal hafızada belirli fonksiyon üstlenen statüler, alternatif iş yapma biçimlerinin ortaya çıkmasıyla ortadan kalkmış olmasına karşın, statülerin sinyallediği kabuller süregelmektedir. Bu statülere eşlik eden anlamlar ve statüye sahip olmama endişesi, örgütsel davranış yazınının ihmal ettiği bir örüntü olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Yeni iş uygulamalarının statü endişesi bağlamında değerlendirilmesi iki amaç doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilmektedir: 1) örgütsel davranış alanında yaygın olarak benimsenen yorgun kavramlara farklı bir perspektif sunma ve değişim körlüğüne bir nota koyma, 2) devamlı dönüşen iş yaşamının giderek daha az sayıda değişmezleri kalmışken, statü endişesinin var olmaya devam ettiğine ve örgüt yaşamında ihmal edilmiş fakat ortak bir deneyim olduğuna kanıt getirme. Bu temel kabullerden yola çıkarak, çalışma, kimlik oluşumunun önemli bir bileşeni olan statü endişelerini ve gig ekonomisini bir arada inceleyen ilk akademik çalışma olma iddiasındadır.

Son dönemde, kirlilik yoğun firmalara sahip olan ülkeler dış ticaretten dışlanabilmekte, hatta ürünlerini iç pazarlarına bile satamamaktadırlar. Bundan dolayı, yarattıkları negatif çevresel dışsallıkları azaltmaları onlar için içsel bir zorunluluk olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Negatif dışsallıkları içselleştirmek için ise çevresel düzenlemeler geliştirmek zorundadırlar. Böylece firmalara ilave maliyetlerin yüklenmesi sorunu ile karşı karşıya kalmaktadırlar. Rekabet güçlerinin düşeceğinden korkan firmalar çevresel düzenlemeler ile ilave maliyetlere katlanmak istememektedirler. Rekabetçi bir ekonomiye sahip olmanın önemli olduğu günümüz dünyasında çevresel düzenlemelerin de rekabet gücüne etkisi önem kazanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çalışmanın temel hedefi, çevresel düzenlemelerin rekabet gücüne etkisini araştırmaktır.
Çalışmanın, ampirik analizinde dinamik panel veri yöntemi olan Panel-fark GMM kullanılmıştır. Verilere erişim kısıtı nedeni ile çalışma 1995-2012 yıllarını kapsamaktadır. Çalışmada rekabet gücünü temsilen toplam faktör verimliliği kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre; çevre politikalarındaki artışın toplam faktör verimliliği ile negatif ilişkili olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Bundan dolayı, Güçlü Porter Hipotezi doğrulanamamıştır. Böylece, çevresel düzenleme katılıklarındaki artışın, ülkelerin rekabet güçlerini zayıflatarak ekonomik büyümelerini de negatif etkileyeceği belirlenmiştir. Bunun dışında, yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin toplam enerji tüketimi içindeki payının ise toplam faktör verimliliği ile yine negatif ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Böylece çevre kalitesinin rekabet gücünü azalttığı ortaya konulmuş olmaktadır.
THE EFFECT OF IDENTITY ON THE VOTING BEHAVIOR OF THE TURKISH DIASPORA IN GERMANY: A STUDY ON THE AK PARTY’S VOTES IN THE 2018 TURKEY ELECTIONS
Authors: Ulusoy Ergin , Avcı Kaya Gülnihan
Published: August 2024

After the Justice And Development Party (AK Party) came to power, the policies of the state towards the diaspora changed. Of course, this radical change in politics was also reflected in the voting preferences of the diaspora. Identity is the main factor that determines voting behaviour. Thus, voting choice of the diaspora is primarily related to identity. This study focuses on to the diaspora living in Germany and concludes that there is a strong identity interaction between the AK Party/Erdoğan and the diaspora. This research asserts that the policies and discourse of the AK Party and Erdoğan are directed towards the consolidation of the diaspora. The existence of this interaction with the election and demographic statistics of official institutions is supported by the results of previous surveys with similar outcomes and the literature related to the German diaspora and compare it with the data on Turkey to present a meaningful picture.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of virtual tours and digital libraries in learning history based on student perceptions. The study employed survey methods and statistical analysis, complemented by historical methods, along with virtual tours for the recreation and modeling of specific historical conditions to explore their potential consequences. The study involved two surveys developed by teachers: the first was before the experiment and the second took place after its completion. Each student received the questionnaire by mail. Thus, 60 bachelor students of the “History” specialty took part in the experiment. The average age of the participants was 21 years old. According to the survey results, the majority of the students (58%) noted that they rarely used digital technologies during history lessons. At the same time, 30% said that they did not use digital libraries and virtual tours when studying history and only 12% reported that they used them in lessons. Following the study, a majority of the students (85%) observed that the utilization of digital technologies impacted their motivation to study history. Meanwhile, 10% found it challenging to respond to this question, and 5% indicated that digital tools had no influence on their motivation levels. The improvement in students’ academic performance was evident when comparing the responses to control assessments conducted before and after the experiment. Based on the standard deviation data, the average score was 77.5 before training and increased to 81.9 afterward. Based on a comparison of the results obtained in two surveys, the researchers can conclude that electronic libraries and virtual excursions are effective for studying history.

Published: August 2024

Tilapia piscidin 4 (TP4), a cationic antimicrobial peptide, is recognized for its diverse biological roles, including antibacterial, wound-healing, and anticancer properties. Herein, the codon-optimized sequence of TP4 peptide was expressed using the pPICZαA expression vector containing the AOX1 promoter, a strong and inducible promoter, in the Pichia pastoris KM71H expression system. Recombinant TP4 peptide was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. After purification, the anticancer activity of TP4 was assessed in HUH-7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells, and the underlying mechanisms were determined. In the present study, it was demonstrated for the first time that recombinant TP4 displayed strong anticancer activity in the human HUH-7 cell line. The TP4 antimicrobial peptide can be used as a competitive candidate for the treatment of cancer cells due to its anticancer effects.

Background: The effectiveness of cementing and graft during hemiarthroplasty for fracture neck of femur in elderly individuals is debatable. Although cementing provides an excellent initial fix, there is incidence of hypotension during surgery. On the other hand, periprosthetic fractures have been linked with high costs. A femoral head can provide an autologous bone graft to fill the femoral bone's medullary cavity, lowering complications related to cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty.
Methods: At Indira Gandhi institute of medical sciences, Patna a prospective study was carried out from April 2021 to March 2023. The study comprised patients who had fractured their neck femurs. Patients were separated into two groups of 30 each. Group A had bipolar partial hip replacement using the femoral head as a graft, while group B had cemented bipolar partial hip replacement. Functional outcomes were contrasted between 2 groups.
Results: After a year, 22 of the patients (73.3%) in the bone graft group had excellent outcomes, while 8 (26.6%) had favorable outcomes. Within group B (Cementing group), ten individuals (33.3%) had outstanding results, ten individuals (33.3%) had good outcomes, eight individuals (26.6%) had satisfactory results, and two individuals (6.6%) had bad outcomes. The findings were statistically significant (p<0.05). The practical outcome of cementing bipolar versus one’s with bipolar bone graft differed significantly.
Conclusions: A procedure called bipolar partial hip replacement with the femoral head used as a graft of bone is a superior choice to surgery for fracture neck-femur in elderly people compared to cemented bipolar partial hip replacement.

Em face da avaliação do Plano Nacional de Educação (2014-2024) e do descumprimento do art. 13, argumenta-se que, sem a regulamentação do regime de colaboração, dificilmente serão vislumbrados horizontes para a proposição de políticas curriculares democráticas, na contramão da Base Nacional Comum Curricular. Ao avaliar a tramitação do Sistema Nacional de Educação no Congresso Nacional e a elaboração do Plano Nacional de Educação para o próximo decênio, este ensaio propõe que as dimensões da justiça curricular, em articulação com as dimensões da justiça social, sejam consideradas como conceitos analíticos para a redução das desigualdades por priorizar o reconhecimento das diferenças, a garantia de condições educativas essenciais e a participação social na formulação de políticas curriculares.
Documentos y dominación social:
Authors: Delgado-Gomez Alejandro
Published: August 2024

En el presente artículo partimos de la tesis, consolidada a comienzos del siglo veintiuno, de que existen vínculos entre los sistemas de dominación y los sistemas de documentos, para proponer una revisión genealógica de estos conceptos y de algunos otros asociados. En primer lugar, retomamos la codificación de la burocracia realizada por Max Weber en 1922. En segundo, regresamos al antiguo Tabularium de Roma y, desde él, a la teoría alemana del ius archivi. En tercer lugar, nos aproximamos a los textos en los que Michel Foucault identificó los mecanismos de vigilancia y castigo, así como de ordenación del discurso. A continuación, retomamos la visión que Jean Baudrillard expuso acerca de la cultura del simulacro en las sociedades contemporáneas. Finalizamos con la identificación, a vuelapluma, de algunas ideas cuya validez se debería contrastar en los entornos digitales en los que nos desenvolvemos actualmente.

Ciudadanías de “papel”: poder, política y responsabilización social archivística
Authors: Leal da Silva Flávio
Published: August 2024

La invisibilidad social de los documentos y archivos es una de las mayores dificultades para la formación de archiveros técnicamente competentes, socialmente comprometidos y políticamente conscientes del lugar que ocupan en las relaciones de poder que operacionalizan en las actividades técnicas de gestión de documentos administrativos. Para ayudar a superar estas dificultades, se propone habilitar lecturas más complejas que, no limitadas a los parámetros estrictamente disciplinares de la Archivología, permitan una reflexión interdisciplinaria consciente y necesaria para diagnosticar y proponer soluciones a los problemas técnicos a los que se enfrentan. Al comprender que los fenómenos sociales son el resultado de actores institucionales e intereses diversos, generalmente externos a la unidad administrativa en la que operan, podrán alcanzar una conciencia ética y profesional que justifique no solo un ejercicio profesional técnico competente, sino también la conciencia de que la amplitud y complejidad de los orígenes de los problemas que enfrentan, así como las acciones para corregirlos, son el resultado de dimensiones políticas más que de las limitaciones técnicas de los profesionales involucrados. Así, combinando las cuestiones teóricas con las demandas cotidianas de las personas de diferentes tipos de documentos, creemos que es posible contribuir al logro de una conciencia que permita a los estudiantes no solo identificarse como protagonistas, socialmente relevantes, de modo que se animen a invertir en una formación técnica competente y políticamente comprometida, sino también ser capaces de crear alternativas de diálogo con los movimientos sociales, las instituciones y las personas sobre el lugar de los documentos, registros y archivos como equipamiento social fundamental y el lugar de los archiveros, como sujetos políticos esenciales en el logro de una sociedad más justa, democrática y humana.
Complicated community-acquired methicillin-resistant bacteremia leading to late-onset prosthetic joint infection: A breakthrough diagnosis with multiplex PCR
Authors: Gupta Neha , Gupta Aarti
Published: August 2024

An early diagnosis of bone and joint infections (BJIs) is needed for prevention of significant morbidity and burden on healthcare systems. We present a case of community-acquired bacteremia (SAB) in a patient with prior history of bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) where there was a difficulty in establishing the diagnosis of septic arthritis because of the heterogenous nature of this infection. The BioFire® Joint Infection (JI) Panel detected methicillin-resistant (MRSA) from the synovial fluid aspirate and confirmed the diagnosis. Early careful usage and interpretation of such molecular platforms can have a significant impact in diagnosis and management of BJIs.

: Working conditions in hospitals are a challenge to health care workers including laboratory technicians. Due to this, they have many psychological issues such as anxiety, depression and insomnia. The study was planned to assess anxiety, depression and insomnia in laboratory technicians at a tertiary care setup in central India.

A cross-sectional study of 51 laboratory Technicians was carried out using hospital anxiety and depression scale [HADS] and Athens criteria.

67 % of lab technicians have anxiety, 63% had depression and 44% had mild insomnia.

The laboratory technicians have varied levels of anxiety, depression and insomnia due to which their health may be adversely affected. It is necessary to take parallel measures and find out ways for interventions and management to improve sleep quality and thus mental wellbeing through psychological and emotional support.

The liver is crucial for the metabolism of thyroid hormone and production of thyroxine-binding globulin production (TBG). Liver dysfunction can result from changes in thyroid function, and distinct liver conditions can have different impacts on the metabolism of thyroid hormones

This study tries to find out the relationship between thyroid function and liver disease.

The cross-sectional, institution-based observational study from January 2020 to September 2021. The study population included patients with chronic liver disease who visited the OPD or were admitted to the medical wards of Dr. Susheela Tiwari memorial hospital, a tertiary care hospital of Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. The study proforma included the demographic data, history, clinical examination and details of investigations. Tests performed included Complete Hemogram, Liver function tests, Serum creatinine, Blood urea, Serum electrolytes, Abdominal ultrasound, Prothrombin time, INR and thyroid function tests.

Mean serum T3 and T4 level didn’t follow any uniform trend with the severity of disease, however mean TSH increased with the increase in the severity of the disease. Although this was not found to be statistically significant.

The thyroid dysfunction holds an important place in the spectrum of Chronic liver disease. Progressive worsening of liver function increases likely hood of abnormal underlying thyroid dysfunction and therefore, patients need to be evaluated for thyroid dysfunction periodically.
