Authors: Akın Arzu , Karaduman Yaşar , Akan Tamer
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to improve the quality of wheat flour affected by sunn bugs (Eurygaster integriceps) by examining the effects of cold plasma on its physicochemical and dough rheological properties. The sun-damaged wheat flour was treated with Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge using atmospheric air cold plasma at different application times. The results demonstrated that modified sedimentation volumes increased with longer plasma treatment times and maximized in 60 s without causing sunn pest-damage. The alveograph tenacity (P) increased with plasma application, and as a result, the energy (W) reached approximately three times that of the application of 60 s. The results showed that cold plasma has a big potential for improving sunn pest-damage flour (SPDF) and dough properties. The plasma application caused this positive effect on dough properties at ≤ 60.0 s.

Abortus: strafrecht of zorg? Argumenten voor en tegen het ‘decriminaliseren’ van abortus provocatus in Nederland

De strafbaarstelling van abortus (art. 296 Sr) (b)lijkt anno 2024 geen vanzelfsprekendheid meer te zijn. Eind 2023 is een voorstel ingediend ter modernisering van de wetgeving over abortus door zwangerschapsafbreking ‘uit het strafrecht’ te halen (Wet abortus is zorg). De bijdrage vormt een inventarisatie van argumenten voor en tegen het decriminaliseren van abortus. We starten met (de ontwikkeling van) het wettelijk kader. Vervolgens gaan we over tot een verkenning van argumenten voor en tegen decriminalisering van abortus en de vraag in hoeverre het hogere recht decriminalisering van abortus toelaat. De bijdrage sluit af met een conclusie waarin we de balans opmaken.
Investigation of wear behaviour of TiO2 and Al2O3 reinforced YSZ coating
Authors: Avcı Ali , Karabas Muhammet
Published: June 2024

In this study, three different ceramic powders used as thermal barriers were coated on AISI304 stainless steel by the atmospheric plasma spray method. A pin-on-disc apparatus was utilised to investigate the wear characteristics of the coatings. The effect of wear behavior of the addition of Al2O3 and titanium dioxide (TiO2) into the YSZ coating was investigated. Before the wear test, sanding and polishing processes were carried out to ensure that the average surface roughness of the coatings was less than 0.8 µm. The wear test according to ASTM G99-04, was conducted on a pin-on-disc device at a speed of 143 rpm. The test was performed in a dry condition, with a minimum of 8000 cycles. The wear test utilised a 4N load and 6 mm-diameter Al2O3 balls. The surface properties and wear characteristics of the coatings were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) after conducting coating and wear tests. The wear rate of the samples was assessed using optical profilometry. A micro Vickers test equipment was employed to assess the microhardness of the materials. The findings demonstrated that the inclusion of Al2O3 in YSZ led to an enhancement in wear resistance, but the incorporation of TiO2 resulted in a notable reduction in wear resistance.

Purpose: The paper discusses the significance and effects of the location of a public library on its use and on the environment in which it operates. The research was con­ducted as a case study of Pobrežje Library, a branch of Maribor Public Library, after relocation to a shopping centre.
Methodology/approach: To assess the impact on library use after relocation, we ana­lysed statistical data from the Cobiss3/Izpisi segment of library automation system. Through a content analysis of semi-structured interviews with the head of Pobrežje Library and with representatives of seven business entities in the shopping centre, we obtained the opinion on perception and acceptance of the library among the users, as well as opinions on the influence the library might have on the turnover of other busi­nesses in the shopping centre.
Results: The results of the research show a significant increase of new memberships and usage of the Pobrežje Library at its new location. The increase was also significant after comparing the data to other similar branches of the Maribor Public Library. Ac­cording to the head librarian of Pobrežje Library, the users’ perceptions regarding the location of the library in the shopping centre are generally positive, though certain concerns are also noted. The majority of interviewed representatives of business enti­ties in the shopping centre believe that the library has some positive business impact and they see the possible future benefits of the library as a business neighbour.
Research limitation: A short research period (only eleven months) after the relocation of Pobrežje Library (from October 2022 to August 2023). The pre-relocation period was influenced by COVID-19 measures, which affected library use and commercial busi­nesses.
Originality/practical implications: The results of this case study may be valuable for strategic placement planning, when considering shopping centres as locations for public library branches.
A NEW SPHERICALLY SYMMETRIC NEUTRON STAR MODEL EMBEDDING CLASS I IN DURGAPAL METRIC
Authors: Ujala Umair , Shukla Sacheendra , Pandey Shyam Narayan
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we develop a novel spherically symmetric neutron star model by combining the two useful mathematical aspects of astrophysics, Karmakar’s condition and Durgapal metric for anisotropic stellar objects. We use Karmakar’s condition to embed a class I reducibility criteria in the model. The solutions are simplified by considering 𝒆𝝂=𝑩(𝟏+𝒙)𝟔, where 𝒙=𝑪𝒓𝟐, beyond the fifth model given by Durgapal. The model does not have the central singularity. The model well behaves for the realistic physical properties of the neutron stars. The energy density, the pressure in the radial direction, and the pressure in the tangential direction are positively finite and decrease from the center to the surface of the neutron stars. The redshift and the compression moduli are also positive finite. In the offered model, we take the values of the constants as 1.5760 ≤ A ≤ 2.295, 0.0602 ≤ B ≤ 0.5577, and 7.492 × 10-10 ≤ C ≤ 3.397 × 10-9 for the neutron stars EXO 1785-248, SMC X-1, Her X-1, 4U 1538-52, LMC X-4, and Cen X-3. The Buchdahl condition is well satisfied by the model.

Authors: Núñez-Núñez Alexis Mauricio , Eugenio-Zumbana Lizbeth Carolina , Mejía-Rubio Andrea del Rocío
Published: June 2024

El tratamiento del sobrepeso y la obesidad requiere un enfoque integral que aborde tanto los aspectos físicos como psicológicos del trastorno. Las intervenciones psicológicas desempeñan un papel crucial en este abordaje, reconociendo la influencia de factores emocionales, conductuales y cognitivos en los hábitos alimentarios y la falta de actividad física. La terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC) se presenta como una herramienta efectiva para modificar patrones de pensamiento negativos, promover cambios en el comportamiento alimentario y fomentar la autorregulación emocional. A través de técnicas como la reestructuración cognitiva, el autocontrol, el enfoque en áreas problemáticas específicas y la prevención de recaídas, la TCC busca promover cambios sostenibles en el estilo de vida y el manejo del peso a largo plazo. La integración de terapias de tercera generación, como la terapia de aceptación y compromiso, y prácticas como el mindfulness y el biofeedback, amplían el espectro de herramientas disponibles para mejorar la relación con la comida y el cuerpo. La evidencia científica respalda la eficacia de las intervenciones cognitivo-conductuales en el tratamiento del sobrepeso y la obesidad, destacando la importancia de un enfoque individualizado y adaptado a las necesidades de cada paciente. Sin embargo, se necesita más investigación en América Latina para comprender mejor la efectividad de estas intervenciones en esta región específica.

Anacardium occidentale has pharmacological potential of anti-inflammatory, healing, antimicrobial and gastroprotective characteristics. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial, cytotoxic and antioxidant effects of the green leaf extract of Anacardium occidentale against clinical and ATCC collection bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of selected strains of clinical importance and ATCC were determined. The effect of the association with licensed antibiotics reported in the literature was evaluated, as well as their influence on the formation and pre-formation of biofilms. Human blood samples A, B and O were subjected to cytotoxicity evaluation at concentrations of 250μg/mL-1000μg/mL in assays for hemolytic and antihemolytic activity. The oxidant and antioxidant activities on human hemoglobin were determined at different concentrations of the test extract. The test product presented MIC=1000µg/mL and MBC= 1300µg/mL, respectively, for Streptococcus viridans and Streptococcus pyogenes, demonstrating a bacteriostatic nature. In the association study of the extract with azithromycin against the Streptococcus viridans strain, the effect was indifferent, while in Streptococcus pyogenes the effect was antagonistic. The test extract at a concentration of 1000µg/mL prevented biofilm formation for both strains tested, but was unable to destroy pre-formed biofilm. In terms of hemolytic and anti-hemolytic activity, the product showed low activity on human erythrocytes in both tests. The green leaf extract did not show oxidizing activity. Regarding the antioxidant potential, a 65% reduction was observed compared to phenylhydrazine. The extract from the green leaves of Anacardium occidentale is safe for possible therapeutic applications, demonstrating effective antibacterial activity and low toxicological potential.

Cidadania negada: explorando a exclusão dos analfabetos da Política Eleitoral Brasileira
Authors: Formiga Armando Soares de Castro , Santana João Victor
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo aborda a inelegibilidade do analfabeto no Brasil. O figurino insere-se na Constituição Brasileira (1988) que, apesar de faculta o voto ao iletrado, nega-lhe o direito de se candidatar a um cargo eletivo. Como pano de fundo, o texto invoca o icónico caso de Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, conhecido como Palhaço Tiririca, que se elegeu Deputado Federal (2010) com uma quantidade significativa de votos. Na época, questionou-se se artista saberia realmente ler e escrever, caso contrário, estaria inapto para assumir a cadeira no Congresso Nacional. O framework aqui exposto volta-se ao escrutínio de dois conceitos específicos. Primeiramente, alicerçado no conhecimento filosófico tecido na Grécia pelos sofistas, o texto visita os escritos de Platão sobre a Política, exaltando-se as ideias da Sofocracia (o governo tocado pelos sábios). Depois, já com contornos pós-modernos, o trabalho volta-se aos escritos de Boaventura de Sousa Santos, quando o pensador português delimita uma “ecologia dos saberes”. A metodologia utilizada foi o método dedutivo, com abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa bibliográfica.
Filosofia do direito: um diálogo entre referências
Authors: Spricigo Ronaldo , Chagas Matheus Campos
Published: June 2024

Este artigo propõe uma análise abrangente da filosofia do direito, considerando as obras de pensadores influentes como Hannah Arendt, Paul Ricoeur, Michel Foucault, Achille Mbembe, Patrícia Hill Collins e Sueli Carneiro. Ao explorar temas que vão desde as origens do totalitarismo até as políticas da inimizade e o pensamento feminista negro, buscamos traçar conexões e reflexões sobre a condição humana, a justiça, o poder, e a consciência social. Cada pensador contribui para a formação de um tecido intelectual rico e diversificado, no qual as nuances das experiências humanas são consideradas em sua totalidade. Assim, a busca pela compreensão crítica torna-se um exercício colaborativo que ressoa através do tempo e espaço, inspirando diálogos que transcendem fronteiras e fomentam uma apreciação mais profunda da complexidade do tecido social. O chamado coletivo dessas vozes ressoa como um convite constante à reflexão e à ação, convidando-nos a desafiar e transformar estruturas opressivas em busca de uma compreensão mais ampla, inclusiva e justa das dinâmicas humanas.

Este estudo examinou a percepção do paciente resultante da comunicação referente ao atendimento dos profissionais da saúde, considerando a linguagem como um processo dialógico (Freire, 2005). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa (Minayo, 2006; 2016), a partir de um estudo observacional (Fronteira, 2013) onde foi analisado, compreensivamente (Weber, 2007) o conjunto dos dados obtidos por meio das entrevistas com pacientes que utilizam o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), através da aplicação do Questionário Comportamento Comunicativo do Médico (QCCM). As entrevistas incluíram perguntas sobre as interações que o paciente teve com o profissional durante as consultas. Para responder, o paciente recorreu à memória da consulta recém-realizada e avaliou o comportamento comunicativo do médico. Alguns pacientes consideram que para um atendimento de qualidade e uma boa relação médico-paciente, o profissional deve solicitar exames, enquanto outros acreditam que realizar um exame físico, dialogar e investigar seriam/é o ideal. Entre os homens, houve uma maior prevalência da percepção de que quase nada ocorre em relação ao encorajamento, apoio não verbal e controle. Contudo, na análise por faixa etária, a prevalência de que sempre ocorre encorajamento, apoio não verbal, compreensão e relação amigável aumenta a partir dos 50 anos. Na análise por nível de escolaridade, a prevalência é inversamente proporcional, sendo maior quanto menor o nível de escolaridade, de que sempre ocorrem compreensão e relação amigável. Este estudo revelou que a percepção dos usuários decorrente da comunicação relativa ao atendimento dos profissionais médicos se manifestam nas consultas por meio das palavras, gestos, olhares, confiança e compreensão, fortalecendo este vínculo e, como consequência, eles aderem ao tratamento e às orientações propostas com maior determinação.

Los animales pasaron 21 días de adaptación y 75 días de ensayo, alimentados con pasto, ensilaje de maíz, concentrado (70:30) y suplementación mineral ad libitum. Fueron vacunados contra Rabia y Excell 10®. Se realizaron muestreos fecales para evaluar endoparásitos y recuentos de ectoparásitos y papilomas al inicio y final del confinamiento. Los animales fueron monitoreados diariamente para detectar enfermedades o accidentes. Se utilizaron la media y desviación estándar con Graph Pad Prism 6.0 y se realizó un análisis de varianza con un nivel de significancia del 5%. Las enfermedades detectadas fueron: lesiones en pezuñas (1,8%), miasis (3,6%), hipomotilidad intestinal y distensión abdominal (7,3%), abscesos (10,9%), IBR y BVD (21,8%), endoparásitos y ectoparásitos (50,9%) y papilomatosis bovina (74,5%). La papilomatosis aumentó un 3,6% durante el confinamiento (p<0,05). El control sanitario es crucial para maximizar el potencial reproductivo y productivo de los toros Gyr Lechero PO.

Devido a sensibilidade da água aos efeitos externos como precipitação, uso e manejo do solo, a qualidade da água deve ser monitorada. Estas informações são essenciais para decisões sobre seu uso múltiplo e integrado, além de contribuir para a mitigação de impactos ambientais. Dessa forma, com este estudo, objetivou avaliar qualidade da água de surgências (nascentes) perenes na microbacia do córrego Palmital, em Urutaí - GO. Nesses locais, foram coletadas amostras de água para caracterizações físicas, químicas e microbiológicas, determinando se o índice de qualidade de água (IQA) no período de estiagem e chuvoso de 2023. De acordo com os resultados, verificou-se que o ponto D (área próxima a lavoura e criação de gado extensivo) apresentou maiores valores para contagem de coliformes totais e termotolerantes, em ambos os períodos avaliados. Ainda, os valores de IQA variaram entre 59,61 a 72,70 no período de estiagem e, de 67,93 a 74,79 no período chuvoso, sendo classificados com IQA “Bom”.

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar o papel da imprensa feminista, especificamente o Jornal Brasil Mulher em Londrina, durante a ditadura militar no Brasil, destacando a violência da guerra psicológica imposta pelos ditadores. Utilizando uma abordagem de pesquisa documental, analisando os documentos do Serviço Nacional de Informações (SNI) da Agência de Curitiba, foi possível compreender como o Jornal Brasil Mulher enfrentou as pressões da censura e da perseguição em um contexto de estratégias de manipulação psicológica usadas pela ditadura para controlar e influenciar a sociedade paranaense. Este estudo contribuiu para uma compreensão mais aprofundada da atuação da imprensa feminista como um espaço de resistência, documentando como a guerra psicológica afetou o jornal e suas estratégias, além de evidenciar o papel das mulheres nesse contexto. Os resultados indicaram a importância da liberdade de expressão e dos direitos das mulheres na construção de uma sociedade mais justa, equitativa, igualitária e a promoção de narrativas históricas que reconheçam o protagonismo feminino.

The Reformed (Calvinist) Church knows two sacraments – Holy Communion and Baptism – which provide a basis for the religious life of reformed people. The study, on the basis of researches carried out in Kalotaszentkirály, Transylvania at the beginning of 1980s, 1990s and 2000, describes what Holy Communion means in the lives of the residents. The first Holy Communion in the lives of the young villagers was preceeded by confirmation that was taken after the age of 16. Girls were allowed to wear párta (girl's headdress) after one year of confirmation. Holy Communion was served six times a year and before each occasion there was a one-week penitential period. The members of the community prepared for the Holy Communion through lenting and participating in penitential services. Both men and women were dressed up when taking Holy Communion. During the lenten period and on Good Friday it was suitable to appear in black. The distribution of Holy Communion was regulated by a strict order following age, sex, marital status. Elder men and women were followed by younger generations, married couples came before those engaged. The bread and wine left was eaten and drunk by the pastor and the lay leaders.

Adalékok a 250 éve alapított pápai kórház történetéhez

The history of the medical institutions of Pápa has not been scholarly written yet. As a result of the fact that many sources ruined during the 20th Century, research faces difficulties. In the old times medical treatment and charity were closely tied. The first institution came into being at the beginning of the 18th Century. The local Jewish community also launched a hospital for their own patients in 1748. In 1756 József Szentilonay, bishop of Esztergom, who had been born in Pápa, started a home for the poor. In 1757 Count Ferenc Eszterházy, chancellor, formed a foundation using his own money and resettled in Pápa the brothers of mercy (Ordo Hospitalarius Sancti Joannis a Deo, Fatebenefratelli, Brothers of Saint John of God). The foundation was personally approved by Maria Theresa on May 2, 1757 and this was the starting point of a 250-year old development. The building of the hospital was designed by Jakab Fellner and it was built in 1762–1776. Between 1922–1936 it was reconstructed and ways of treatments were modernized. A historic period was put to an end when the communist regime confiscated the hospital and suppressed the orders.

China's economy has achieved a high growth rate of 9,8 % in cyclical fluctuations, and the industrial structure has been continuously improved with growth. However, the irrationality of the tertiary industry structure and its internal structure still restricts the sustainable development. The optimization of the industrial structure depends on many factors, such as government policies, economic growth mode, resource constraints, economic development stage and economic cycle stage. Based on data-driven analysis, this paper analyzes the general path and policy choice of economic cycle to adjust China's industrial structure, and the impact of economic cycle on the upgrading of industrial structure. After the actual analysis, we found that the threshold of economic growth in economically developed regions is high, the role of financial development in stimulating industrial structure is not prominent, and industrial upgrading is relatively difficult. Industrial upgrading is difficult
