Relationship Between Weight Status And Basal Metabolism In Schoolchildren
Authors: Carrillo-López Pedro José , Rosa-Guillamón Andrés
Published: June 2023

There is currently a scientific trend to study the association between energy balance and its impact on health from the earliest stages of life. The aim of this study was to examine whether diet quality and physical activity moderate the association between weight status and basal metabolism in a sample of Murcian primary school children aged 8-12 years. Basal metabolism was calculated according to height, sex, and weight, with fixed coefficients following validated formulae. Physical activity was measured with the Krece-Plus test; the KIDMED questionnaire was used to quantify diet quality and nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) adjusted for sex and age. The results obtained indicate that overweight schoolchildren have a higher basal metabolism than their normal-weight peers considering their diet quality and physical activity level (p<.001, for both). Also, the effects of weight status on basal metabolism may be moderated by diet quality (p<.05) but not by physical activity (p>.05). These results may be of particular interest to educational and health personnel since generating strategies to improve school children’s eating habits, especially towards higher diet quality, could be vital as a method to increase basal metabolic energy expenditure and their overall health.

Published: June 2023

The goal of this study was to define the individual model characteristics of lactic acid removal after 200m breaststroke competitive load in a female swimmer in relation to different pool lengths (25m vs. 50m). The second goal was methodological and referred to the presentation of newly applied metrological procedures for the Individual Lactate Recovery Profile modeling. Six races from the competitive season 2021/22 were selected, in which the athlete achieved the most valuable results in relation to the FINA score. To establish the metabolic response of the organism to the competition effort, the method of determining the level of lactate concentration in capillary blood (La in mmol/L) was used. Differences between the mean values of variables were established using ANOVA. The polynomial curve equation function was used to create a blood lactate concentration in a function of recovery time model (La-trecovery). The ANOVA showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the monitored variables and the pool length function (p=.097). The maximum achieved blood lactate concentration in the acute race recovery phase was 13.17 ± 2.81 and 12.08 ± 1.80 mmol/L and the given concentration initially occurred in the time of 240.0 ± 85.6 s and 169.3 ± 79.9 s in the 25 and 50m pool, respectively. In relation to the time of complete passive recovery required to establish acidosis at the level of 2 mmol/L (25 and 50m pool) occurred in 1191.7 ± 481.3 s and 1326.7 ± 405.1 s, while the full index of intensity of blood lactate clearance was 135.7 ± 60.7 s/mmol/L and 124.0 ± 60.7 s/mmol/L for 25m and 50m pool, respectively. Although no statistically significant difference was found between the parameters of recovery in relation to pool length, the offered mathematical models enabled a practical individual approach to controlling the specific adaptation to training for achieving a higher competitive level performance.
Comparison of the Mechanical and Osseointegrative Performance of Porous Tantalum and Titanium for Acetabular Implantation in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Literature Review
Authors: Juryn Margaret S.
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Stability of the acetabular component is a critical factor in the success of primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures. As such, the identification of implant surface characteristics that maximize stability of the acetabular cup is an important research objective. While titanium has historically been the most commonly used implant material, the proportion of THA procedures utilizing porous tantalum (PTa) implants has increased in recent years. The objective of this review is to examine the comparative mechanical and osseointegrative performance of PTa and porous titanium (PTi) and interpret these results in the context of primary and secondary stability of acetabular implants in THA, as characterized by strength of initial mechanical attachment and successful interlocking at the bone-implant interface, respectively. Methods: A literature search using a predetermined protocol and inclusion criteria yielded 7 articles presenting results of comparative testing of mechanical performance or osseointegration of PTa and PTi in the context of THA. Results: Neither PTa nor PTi presented consistently superior results in mechanical tests designed to correlate to primary stability at the metallo-biological surface nor in measures of osseointegration intended to represent secondary stability in THA. Discussion: In comparing PTa and PTi, it appears that the characteristics of the implant coating's pores may have a more significant impact on factors affecting the stability of an acetabular cup implant than the metal selected. However, determining the ideal pore morphology for this application is complex; pore characteristics that would suggest mechanical compatibility may conflict with those that would encourage more effective osseointegration. Conclusion: When extrapolated to be indicators of hypothetical clinical success, the results of this review are consistent with those of recently released macro-analyses of clinical outcomes: PTa and PTi acetabular cups, as they are currently manufactured, produce clinically equivalent outcomes. In the development and comparison of coating options, pore morphology and its complex effects on stability must be adequately accounted for; only then can we reach a faithful conclusion regarding the ideal porous adhesion surface for acetabular implant in THA.

ETIKA PUBLIK SEBAGAI RUANG DIALOG AGAMA (Genealogi Civil Religion Dalam Keberagamaan NU)
Authors: Wahyudi Chafid
Published: June 2023

The existence of different faiths in one country, where each offers life norms, prevents the use of one religion as the sole general source for reference. Therefore, it becomes a necessity to find one general concept incorporating all those religions. This calls for a concept of civil religion. It is a view that puts religion norms as merely having substantives function. In other words, it looks for a compromise held by all faiths to keep all parties respecting each other. This is the reason this article will discuss religious practices demonstrated by NU have shown to contain substantial elements of civil religion. This then will lead to the building of public ethics as a room for dialogue acting as substitute of religions.

Studies on the nature and extent of bacterial inoculum in storage godowns of onion revealed the occurrence of E. carotovora var carotovora in rootlets, gunny bags, godown sweeping and leaf debris and infected bulb in the field which may serve as source of inoculum. E. carotovora var carotovora survived better in the combination of sterilized soil + leaves + bulbs, which retained more number of bacteria even after six months of inoculation. Half of the inoculum load was detected in the unsterilized soil + leaves + bulbs. Studies on the detection of seed-borne nature of bacterium revealed that bacterial oozing from seed contains E. carotovora var. carotovora. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against unfractionated protein of E. carotovora var. carotovora. Indirect ELISA was carried out to detect the antigen and it was found that 1:1000 dilution of antibodies was necessary to detect the antigen. Seed treatment with Pseudomonas fluorescens FP7 was effective in checking the seed-borne nature of E. carotovora var. carotovora besides increasing vigour index of seedlings. Formalin at two per cent concentration also checked the growth of E. carotovora var. carotovora.

Phenotypic correlation of seed yield and its component traits were studied in four selected irradiated F,M, population, two three way and one double cross populations of blackgram advanced through bulk, individual plant selection (IPS) and single pod descent (SPD) method. All the twenty one populations exhibited significant positive correlation of plant height, number of clusters and pods per plant with seed yield per plant except three populations of bulk and one population of IPS method for plant height. Irradiated population of single cross 4 for pod length, single cross 1, 3 and three way cross 1 for number of seeds per pod exhibited significant positive correlation with seed yield per plant irrespective of the methods of advancement. The nature of association between pod length in three way cross 1 and number of seeds per pod in double cross advanced through bulk method was changed from negative to positive in IPS and SPD methods. Among the three methods of selection, single pod descent method showed a stronger magnitude and higher number of significant correlation in all the seven populations under study as compared to bulk and IPS methods. Most of the traits under study including pod length and number of seeds per pod contributed towards seed yield per plant in single cross F, M,, three way and double cross populations.

Studies were carried out in Desmanthus virgatus cv. TNDV 1 to assess the duration of pod and seed development with physical, physiological and biochemical indices in two crops viz. crop raised from seed and the crop raised after first cutting of seed crop (after 180 days). The study revealed that physical characters of pod and seed and physiological and biochemical characters of seed vary with maturation and attained physiological maturity 30-35 days after anthesis (DAA) in both the crops. But delayed harvest lead to total loss of seed due to shattering. The seeds remained hard (100%) during developmental period and were germinable only after acid scarification for 15 minutes @ 200 ml per kg of seed.

Combining ability studies of 5 parent partial diallel cross in F, generation of pumpkin revealed the contribution of both additive and non-additive gene action controlling the expression of yield and its components. The estimates of component variances revealed predominance of non-additive gene action for all the characters. A close correspondence was observed between per se performance and combining ability effects for the characters studied. Among parents, CM-12 ranked as the best general combiner for yield and its components followed by CM-65 and CM-14. Most of the superior specific combinations involved high x low general combiners. When per se and sca effects were considered for all the characters including yield, the crosses CM- 45 x CM-12, CM-12 x CM-64 and CM-12 x TPT Local were identified as best promising entries for yield

Field experiments were conducted for two years (1998-2000) to study the effect of delayed basal dressing and split application of N in wet seeded rice (IR 20). The time of basal N application comprised of four treatments: basal N at the time. of sowing, 7,14, and 21 DAS. The method of N scheduling comprised of two splits (basal and panicle initiation), three splits (50% basal, 25% maximum tillering and 25% panicle initiation), four splits (16.5% basal, 33.5% maximum tillering, 33.5% panicle initiation and 16.5% heading), and five equal splits (basal, early tillering, maximum tillering, panicle initiation and heading stages). The results of the study indicated that delayed basal dressing of N at 21 DAS and fractional application of N in five equal splits promoted LAI, LAD, CGR and RGR enabling higher grain and straw yield.

The nature of vegetables, lack of proper storage and processing facilities, lack information, and presence of many middleman in vegetable market lead to a wide range of fluctuation in prices that affected both farmers and consumers. Using Shepherd Index, the marketing efficiency was measured and the marketing cost function analysis facilitated to evaluate relative contribution of various factors to the marketing cost. The marketing cost and marketing margin in relation to consumer's price were higher; marketing efficiency was very low for tomato, followed by brinjal, small onion and bhendi. Quantity marketed and the distance from village to market had significantly increased the marketing cost for brinjal and bhendi. The distance and labour cost for post harvest operations positively influenced the marketing cost of tomato while marketing cost increases with quantity marketed for small onions.

Published: June 2023

Partindo da intenção em investigar, sobre as formas de prevenção à saúde dos próprios profissionais da saúde, diante características de grupos e de culturas diversificadas, conforme as suas regiões e países de origem, observamos os seus reflexos, que são registrados nos índices estatísticos de doenças que são possíveis de serem prevenidas ou erradicadas. No entanto o crescimento de casos relatados, que atinge atualmente as populações de determinadas áreas de atuação profissional, vem corroborar na motivação do estudo, que é complementado por outra preocupação, que revela e a presença de casos de Transtornos Mentais Comuns (TCM), sofrido pelos profissionais da mesma área, principalmente por aqueles que atuam nos centros de saúde básica, que segundo a literatura recebem uma carga intensa de fatores, que contribuem para a evolução progressiva de doenças mentais. Por tanto, elaboramos esse estudo com o objetivo principal de analisar de que forma os acadêmicos dos cursos de fisioterapia e educação física como concebem e tratam a prevenção de doenças, por meio de vacinação, e como cuidam da sua saúde mental. Buscamos por quantificação frequência de inoculação de vacinas obrigatórias por esses respondentes; e a frequência que apresentaram de sinais de transtornos mentais comuns, para ainda identificar, qual o tipo de auxílio para a solução dos sintomas desses TCM, declarados pelos acadêmicos dos cursos de fisioterapia e educação física, que participaram como população do estudo, foi aplicado o questionário, e obtivemos as respostas, das quais realizamos a análise por orientação do aporte teórico, e diante dos resultados, que apontaram deficiência no tratamento de cuidados próprio, com as questões do estudo. E concluímos que se faz necessário o aprofundamento do tema, além de promover ações, no meio acadêmico, para qualificar essa participação dos profissionais de saúde, criando condutas éticas entre a própria comunidade.

O ensino da Matemática, desde a sua origem, tem sido desafiador Não é de hoje que essa disciplina é rotulada como difícil e complicada Esta é uma impressão fundamentada em situações que envolvem a falta de motivação por parte dos alunos, alicerçadas pelas dificuldades encontradas pelos professores em sua prática. O repasse da Matemática tem se mostrado um trabalho difícil para o professor desta disciplina Para muitos, estudar Matemática resume-se ao aprendizado das competências elementares da disciplina. Estes devem ensinar uma matéria que a maioria dos alunos considera importante, mas não conseguem dar significado ao que aprendem.
O PRECONCEITO LINGUÍSTICO RELACIONADO AO USO DA LINGUAGEM NÃO-BINÁRIA (LN-B) COMO INSTRUMENTO ALTERNATIVO DE COMUNICAÇÃO
Authors: FLORES DENIS RAMÓN FÚNES
Published: June 2023

Uma revolução está acontecendo na comunicação que vai penetrar na enunciação de todo cidadão. Com a popularização da Linguagem Não-Binária (LN-B), a Língua Portuguesa propõe-se sofrer modificações significativas na sua estrutura. Deste modo, de acordo com Lewaschiw e Gaigaia (2015), em seu Guia para a Linguagem Oral Não-Binária afirma que palavras como: lindo e linda, menino e menina, ficariam na LN-B como linde e menine, pois o gênero da palavra não existiria mais e seria substituído por um elemento neutro. Por conseguinte, este projeto visa promover a aceitação da introdução da LN-B nas esferas sociais, culturais, laborais e acadêmicas; na língua dos países lusoparlantes. Então, por meio de uma investigação teórica foi possível contemplar teorias consagradas como as de Butler (2003), com as suas teorias feministas; assim como Williams (1991), com os seus estudos de históricos de gênero. Como resultados podem-se mostrar o quanto novos segmentos da sociedade estão seguindo a tendência da LN-B como padrão de fala da Língua Portuguesa, especialmente nas universidades. Porém, é evidente que ainda é necessária muita luta para poder libertar a esta língua de um padrão que atribui um gênero nas palavras. Então, a pergunta é: Será que a linguagem precisa de gênero para funcionar de forma efetiva e eficiente? Acredita-se na hipótese que não, visto que, a língua ainda tem elementos desnecessários para o seu funcionamento, os quais devem ser retirados com o tempo, sendo que a LN-B é apenas uma das iniciativas nesse sentido. Portanto, conclui-se que não adianta que se tenha Preconceito Linguístico em relação à LN-B, pois cedo ou tarde esta vai adentrar nas instancias da Língua Portuguesa e as outras línguas do mundo que ainda mantêm essas marcas de gênero nas palavras, visto que estas excluem outros seres humanos que não tenham tido a sorte de nascer homens viris e bem definidos na sua orientação sexual.

Background: The socioeconomic impact of drug and substance abuse on secondary school students in Nigeria is yet to be fully evaluated even in the face of the current surge in abuse of substances among the younger folks who constitute more than half of the entire population. Objective: This study narratively reviewed the studies on the socioeconomic impacts of drug and substance abuse on secondary school students and studies by researchers in Nigeria. Methods: The study was a narrative review of the literature covering the socioeconomic impacts of drug and substance abuse on secondary school students in Nigeria from 1980 to 2023. Data were extracted and summarized with descriptive statistics. Results: All the studies took place between 2012 and 2023; 6 (100%). The studies carried out were all observational studies 6 (100%). All the studies fell below average in the benchmark for the hierarchy of evidence-based studies. The studies mostly took place in the South-West 3 (50.00%), while 1 (16.67%) took place in the South-East, North-West, and North-Central respective regions of Nigeria. Conclusion: The available studies done on the impacts of drug and substance abuse focused more on the social impacts, with little or no attention to the economic effect. The available studies however remain at the observational level in the evidence-based ladder. Future Research on the reviewed theme should focus on the economic implications of the social effects of drug and substance abuse on secondary school students in Nigeria.

Published: June 2023

Williams or Williams-Beuren syndrome (SWB) is a rare, sporadic and non-hereditary genetic disease, relating to a chromosomal microdeletion at 7q11.23. It is a disorder that affects multiple systems. We deploy a case of a girl in whom the diagnosis of SWB was made by the child psychiatrist at the age of six despite having consulted the front line many times long before. Many children with this disease, as all rare diseases, do not benefit from early diagnosis due to poor doctors' knowledge of this entity. the purpose of this article is to highlight the delay in the diagnosis of this entity by childhood practitioners, which can delay treatment and sometimes worsen the prognosis of evolution.

Published: June 2023

Malnutrition remains an international concern because it represents a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. In infants and children malnutrition significant metabolic, hormonal, and immune changes occur with short- and long-term effects and outcomes. Thus, studies which contribute to the prevention, amelioration, or rehabilitation of the detrimental effect of malnutrition are necessary. Investigations on endocrine, metabolic, and immune changes related to severe malnutrition started a long time ago. However, recently there has been little work on these important changes, their mechanism/s of action and interactions, and their effect on different systems. The neuroendocrine system is the initial response to stress, so it is reasonable to assume that this system also plays a key role in the pathophysiological changes during nutritional deprivation. However, many of the newly identified functions/changes are better explained by the action of conventional neurotransmitters (e.g., glutamate and GABA) that constitute a neuronal circuit. In addition, the mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase has emerged as a sensor for nutrients that has a central joint in cellular metabolism, cell growth, and differentiation. Its functions during malnutrition in the central nervous system, endocrine system, and different end organs and tissues (liver, pancreas, muscle, and adipose tissue) need elucidation. This article presents a brief review of neuroendocrine changes during malnutrition and their effects on the modulation of metabolism, growth, and immune functions. The pros and cons of these endocrine changes are discussed as well as their reversibility on nutritional rehabilitation.
