Mit Sphaera und Astrolab: ‚Die Entdeckung der Natur‘ in südostdeutschen Klöstern im Hohen Mittelalter - Supplementary Material
Authors: Schonhardt Michael
Published: March 2023

Dieses Buch untersucht die Wissenslandschaft des deutschsprachigen Südostens im  Hohen Mittelalter. Auf Grundlage überlieferter Handschriften und  mittelalterlicher Bibliothekskataloge wird die sogenannte ‚Entdeckung der Natur‘  quantifiziert und aus der Perspektive einer Klosterlandschaft analysiert, in der  die Ankunft des Astrolab im 11. Jahrhundert einen bedeutenden Wendepunkt  markierte. Durch die Einführung neuer Methoden und Fragen in den tradierten  Wissenskosmos des frühen Mittelalters spielten die monastischen Gelehrten dieses  Raumes eine entscheidende, wenngleich vernachlässigte Rolle für die Entwicklung  der mittelalterlichen Astronomie.

Das Buch rekonstruiert die Studien des Mönchs Wilhelm von Hirsau, der sich mit  einigen der drängendsten Problemen der Astronomie seiner Zeit befasste: der  Neudatierung der Sonnenwendepunkte sowie der Suche nach dem eigenen Breitengrad.  Vor allem wird seine Sphaera in den Blick genommen, ein Instrument, das bislang  vor allem als Lehrgerät gedeutet wurde. Im Gegensatz dazu vertritt die  vorliegende Studie die These, dass es sich bei diesem Instrument nicht nur um  Wilhelms verlorene astronomische Uhr handelt, sondern um das erste überlieferte  Beispiel eines stationären Observatoriums im mittelalterlichen Europa und damit  um einen wichtigen Meilenstein in der Geschichte der empirischen Astronomie.

Perspectives on Narrative Time in Chinese Cinema
Authors: Wang Haizhou , Ding Ming
Published: March 2023

The unique view of time rooted in traditional Chinese culture is distinct from that of Western countries. In the Eastern perspective, eternity and evanescence are unified in the axiom: “The passage of time is like flowing water.” This concept also creates a different perspective on narrative time in Chinese films, compared with Western films. In the Chinese perspective, firstly, traditional laws of time are fully respected, and the four seasons, solar terms, and festivals are often seen as time nodes; secondly, a nationally imagined unity of time and space is followed, and expressions of time are likely to be integrated into artistic images such as objects, weather phenomena, and natural landscapes; thirdly, the cognitive laws of nature are respected whereby the linear or circumferential track is adopted and therefore a sense of leisure comes up in resonance; finally, the time scale is based on perception, and Chinese aesthetic style is thus construed while fulfilling the needs of narrative.

Fiber orientation in continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics/metal hybrid joining via multi-pin arrays
Authors: Popp Julian , Busch Matthias , Hausotte Tino , Drummer Dietmar
Published: March 2023

Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTs) can in combination with high-strength metals offer characteristics that cannot be achieved with mono-material parts. One possible example is the combination of locally high-temperature resistance in the metal component with superior weight-related mechanical properties due to the CFRT component. This approach requires a reliable and durable joining technology, which considers the material-specific properties and allows to exploit the full potential of CFRT/metal hybrid parts. A promising approach in the field of CFRT/metal joining is the use of metallic pins, which can be embedded in the locally heated CFRT component to create a form-fitting joint. In the current state of the art, primarily single-pins are investigated and characterized: especially the distinct fiber orientation in the direct pin pressing process is only described for single-pin joints. Behind this background, the present study aims at creating an understanding of the fiber orientation mechanism for multi-pin arrays. Therefore, in the scope of this study, unidirectional reinforced glass fiber/polypropylene samples are joined via direct pin pressing and infrared heating with different 1D and 2D multi-pins arrays with different pin-diameters, spacing and pin distributions. The resulting joint morphology is consequently analyzed using micro-computer-tomography. Based on the performed investigations, a model for the fiber displacement mechanism is proposed, and the first recommendations for the design of fiber-friendly multi-pin joints with unidirectional reinforcements are given. It showed that especially pin-spacing in fiber orientation in dependency of the pin diameter is critical for a fully reconsolidated joint quality, and it is suggested that a pin-offset in the fiber direction is beneficial for a fiber-friendly joining process.
Expanding transition metal borate chemistry to include main group elements: high-pressure synthesis and structural relation of β-MgB4O7
Authors: Pasqualini Leonard C. , Huppertz Hubert
Published: March 2023

The high-pressure/high-temperature synthesis of β-MgB4O7 at 9 GPa and 1200 °C is presented. The determination of its crystal structure by single-crystal X-ray diffraction has shown that the compound is isotypic to the transition metal borates with the structure type of β-MB4O7 (M = Mn–Zn). β-MgB4O7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm with the lattice parameters a = 10.848(2), b = 6.513(2), and c = 5.144(1) Å. The structural relation between the normal-pressure phase α-MgB4O7 to the here presented high-pressure phase β-MgB4O7 and to other reference compounds is discussed.
Measuring the Specific Heat Capacity of Wood during Pyrolysis
Authors: Hasburgh Laura E. , Boardman Charles R.
Published: March 2023

Specific heat capacity of red oak and Douglas fir was measured from 0°C to 438°C using differential scanning calorimetry to provide input parameters for fire modeling. Techniques that allow for measurement of the standard heat capacity, excluding the effects of heat of reaction, were explored. Results show the specific heat capacity of wood becomes nearly constant with increasing temperature once pyrolysis starts. Furthermore, for both species of woods, the heat capacity values level out at a higher temperature than leaves, with correspondingly higher final specific heat capacity values.
Two Proof-of-Concept, Nontraditional Density Measurement Techniques for Partially Charred Wood
Authors: Hasburgh Laura E. , Bechle Nathan J. , Plaza Nayomi Z.
Published: March 2023

As wood is exposed to high temperatures, pyrolysis begins, permanently altering the material properties as volatiles and char are formed. The rate at which char is formed is used to predict failure times for timber members and has been shown to be inversely related to the density of the wood. Because the density is a function of local exposure temperatures, it is inherently difficult to measure and typically is simplified to a single bulk value for either unmodified wood or the density of wood and char. Here, we report the use of two fast, simple density measurement techniques to characterize the changes in density in partially charred wood. The validation of these techniques will allow for more accurate density values to be obtained and included when modeling pyrolysis in wood.
Toward an Improved Processing Methodology for Mass Loss Rate Data in Fire Testing Procedures
Authors: Morrisset David , Santamaria Simón , Law Angus , Hadden Rory M.
Published: March 2023

Time-resolved mass loss rate (MLR) is a calculated quantity used in fire safety science as a surrogate for the burning rate across various scales and standardized testing procedures. MLR data is generally characterized by a high degree of noise and is often smoothed when presented in literature. A recent study demonstrated that some smoothing techniques can heavily skew MLR data; thus, researchers should consider these skewing effects and choose an appropriate smoothing technique to most appropriately represent the MLR behavior for their application. This study presents both a residual analysis and an integral method (based on conservation of mass) to guide users in choosing an appropriate smoothing filter—both of which can be applied to any combination of differentiation and smoothing techniques the user chooses. Guidance is provided to quantify the observed noise in MLR to add clarity when comparing MLR data across studies or between experimental conditions. Additional consideration is given to discontinuities in mass data to mitigate the need for high degrees of smoothing. The guidance presented in this work provides a basis for a more intentional application of smoothing filters to mitigate unwanted error while enabling researchers to more transparently present MLR in literature.

Published: March 2023

The interferon‐induced transmembrane proteins (IFITM) are implicated in several biological processes, including antiviral defense, but their modes of action remain debated. Here, taking advantage of pseudotyped viral entry assays and replicating viruses, we uncover the requirement of host co‐factors for endosomal antiviral inhibition through high‐throughput proteomics and lipidomics in cellular models of IFITM restriction. Unlike plasma membrane (PM)‐localized IFITM restriction that targets infectious SARS‐CoV2 and other PM‐fusing viral envelopes, inhibition of endosomal viral entry depends on lysines within the conserved IFITM intracellular loop. These residues recruit Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5‐trisphosphate (PIP3) that we show here to be required for endosomal IFITM activity. We identify PIP3 as an interferon‐inducible phospholipid that acts as a rheostat for endosomal antiviral immunity. PIP3 levels correlated with the potency of endosomal IFITM restriction and exogenous PIP3 enhanced inhibition of endocytic viruses, including the recent SARS‐CoV2 Omicron variant. Together, our results identify PIP3 as a critical regulator of endosomal IFITM restriction linking it to the Pi3K/Akt/mTORC pathway and elucidate cell‐compartment‐specific antiviral mechanisms with potential relevance for the development of broadly acting antiviral strategies.
The Meaning of the Forming Elements of the Greeting 'Aisatsu' in Japanese
Authors: Muhlisian Asep Achmad , Hidayat Yayat
Published: March 2023

Greetings are categorized as an essential element in daily communication in Japan. The Japanese language learners besides learning the language must be able to culture as well. In this study, we discuss the meaning of the forming elements of the greeting "aisatsu" in the Japanese language which was analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method by taking data sources from Nihongo Nooryoku Shiken Shutsudai Kizun as many as 31 expressions related to everyday greetings equivalent to elementary and intermediate levels. The results of the study found that after going through the sorting process based on the basic word and affix and then also describing the lexical meaning of each expression, it can be seen that there is a relationship between the forming of the expression and the meaning of the expression after being used as a greeting and both these basic expressions influence each other in forming greeting expressions or aisatsu in Japanese.

Literature Review: Teachers’ and Students’ Language Attitude Towards the Use of Indonesian Language in the Japanese-Speaking Classroom
Authors: Wardhaningtyas Setiyani , Rahmat Aceng , Muliastuti Liliana
Published: March 2023

This study aims to discover the variety and research trends for L1 language use in the L2 classroom. This study used library research or literature review to collect and process the data. The data originated from national and international articles, journals, and documents. Many sources have shown the result of the study stating that using a first language in learning a foreign language, especially in the speaking classroom, has made teachers and students get several positive attitudes. According to some research, the three characteristics of positive attitudes toward using the Indonesian language in the speaking classroom-language involve loyalty, language pride, and language awareness of norms that both teachers and students highlight. The two methodologies most commonly used in linguistic attitude studies are direct and indirect measures. The results of a survey of linguistic attitudes indicate whether or not students are effective at learning a language. Attitude is known, not innate. Students can improve their favourable language attitudes toward other languages through specific educational activities

Japanese Language Teachers’ Perception and Implementation of Classroom Action Research (CAR)
Authors: Haristiani Nuria , Septiana Amelya , Kusrini Dewi
Published: March 2023

Classroom Action Research (CAR) facilitates teachers to improve the quality of learning and teaching and works with them to develop and understand engaging context-specific research. In this study, 193 Japanese language teachers’ perceptions of CAR were qualitatively explored through Classroom Action Research’s survey to know the Japanese language teachers’ perceptions and abilities of research, especially at the high school level. A questionnaire consisting of open-ended questions was utilized to collect the data. The results revealed that most teachers don’t have sufficient capacity and ability to do the research, but they considered that research is a crucial skill. Participants who have done CAR mostly use it for getting promoted, and only a few of them use it to develop the quality of teaching. The survey results also showed that many teachers never did CAR based on the structured way or never done it at all. This study reveals that the ability of the teachers to do the research needs to be improved extensively.

Utilización de Rhea americana (Aves, Rheidae) en el sitio Paso Otero 4 (partido de Necochea, región pampeana)
Authors: Álvarez María Clara
Published: March 2023

Los sitios arqueológicos de la región pampeana presentan bajas proporciones de especímenes de Rhea americana (ñandú), lo cual permitió proponer que este animal fue utilizado por los grupos de cazadores-recolectores que habitaron esta zona como un recurso complementario. En años recientes, el estudio del rol de este taxón en la dieta cobró mayor importancia, debido al desarrollo de nuevas metodologías que permiten estimar el número mínimo de huevos y su afiliación especifica. En el sitio Paso Otero 4 (partido de Necochea) se recuperaron 27 especímenes determinados como restos esqueletarios de Rhea americana, en tanto que 13.741 restos fueron identificados como fragmentos de cáscara de huevo. Se analizaron aspectos tafonómicos, taxonómicos y anatómicos de este conjunto. Además, se estimó el aporte de los huevos a partir de la obtención del número mínimo de estos elementos, obtenido por el pesaje de los fragmentos de cáscara. Los resultados de este sitio y de otras muestras del área permiten proponer que Rhea americana constituyó un recurso complementario, aunque habría tenido una mayor importancia durante el Holoceno temprano. A partir de los análisis realizados, en conjunto con los aspectos eto-ecológicos de Rhea americana, se discute la forma de adquisición de esta especie en el pasado.

Published: March 2023

Fruto de los cambios y movimientos políticos y sociales de los últimos años, y para dar respuesta a los retos de la sociedad actual, los centros escolares se han encontrado con la necesidad de renovar sus prácticas educativas y planteamientos pedagógicos. Ante esta situación, el presente estudio persigue identificar qué es la Renovación Pedagógica (RP) en España en la actualidad. Concretamente, el artículo tiene como objetivo reconceptualizar la RP hoy desde el contexto sociohistórico, los testimonios docentes, la terminología, los referentes teóricos actuales y las prácticas educativas. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo una revisión sistemática siguiendo las directrices de PRISMA a partir de la selección inicial de 498 publicaciones procedentes de Scopus, WoS y Google Scholar, filtradas según criterios de inclusión, obteniendo una muestra final de 77 artículos. Los principales resultados muestran que no hay una definición exacta de RP, pero existen elementos clave que se han mantenido a lo largo del tiempo, como la necesidad de mejora educativa y el vínculo a corrientes pedagógicas, que permiten identificar los fundamentos de la RP en la actualidad. En conclusión, las huellas de la RP de inicio del siglo XX siguen presentes en España, aunque con matices y formas diferentes.
Response surface optimization of process conditions and characteristics of nanostarch-based biocomposite film reinforced by cellulose nanocrystals
Authors: Chen Qijie , Zhou Liling , Zou Jiaqi , Wang Jianhui
Published: March 2023

Nanostarch has attracted much research interest recently due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. A type of biocomposite film based on corn nanostarch (CNS) as the matrix and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) as the reinforcement was prepared using a solution casting method. The influences of corn nanostarch concentration (CCNS), glycerin dosage (Dg), and cellulose nanocrystals dosage (DCNC) on the tensile strength of the biocomposite film were investigated by central composite design. The results were examined by an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and response surface methodology (RSM). The optimized process conditions as follows: CCNS of 11.25%, Dg of 12.00%, and DCNC of 5.00%. The CNS/CNC biocomposite film produced under these conditions showed a high tensile strength of 12.90 MPa. The CNS/CNC biocomposite film was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), water contact angle, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The CNS/CNC biocomposite film has potential application prospects in the field of food and biomedical packaging.
Enhanced biobutanol production from fern root using Clostridium Acetobutylicum CGMCC1.0134 with yeast extract addition
Authors: Mao Bifei , Liu Weiwei , Chen Xiangsong , Yuan Lixia , Yao Jianming
Published: March 2023

Fern root (FR) was used in the biofuel production for the first time. However, fermentation of the enzymatic hydrolysate of FR starch (EHFS) directly to butanol by Clostridium acetobutylicum CGMCC1.0134 resulted in a low butanol production and yield with high content of starch residual. After adding yeast extract (YE) solution (with a 3 g/L final concentration in broth) into EHFS, the butanol production, productivity, and yield were raised by 174%, 250%, and 183%, respectively. Monitoring changes of free amino acid concentration in the fermentation broth indicated that aspartic acid families and serine families were stimulated to accumulate by YE addition. Gene expression analysis further revealed that ctfB coding CoA-transferase was induced by adding YE into EHFS. It was concluded that EHFS could be a promising substrate for butanol fermentation.

Authors: Zhu Yuehua , Wang Xinzhou , Zhang Yaoli , Pan Biao
Published: March 2023

Morphological changes were examined in the wood cells of the Taxodium hybrid ‘zhongshanshan’ during the drying process, using wood sectioning and image processing methods. The results showed that the radial and tangential shrinkage rates were 2.7% and 5.8%, respectively. The tracheids displayed greater tangential than radial shrinkages, and latewood tracheids presented greater radial and tangential shrinkages than earlywood tracheids. The wood rays had little effect on cell lumen and tangential shrinkages of tracheids, unless they were adjacent to them. Shrinkage anisotropy was caused by the combined effect of difference between earlywood and latewood, and the inhibitory effect of wood rays. The fiber saturation point of Taxodium hybrid ‘zhongshanshan’ was between 33.3% and 38.3%. This study provided a scientific basis for the drying of the Taxodium hybrid ‘zhongshanshan’.

According to the literature, approximately 41 nutraceutical compounds have been isolated from different types of biomass using green solvents. It is important to collect information on the pharmacokinetic properties of the nutraceutical substances from biomass isolated according to the published papers. The pharmacokinetic properties of the bioactive substances extracted by green solvents, such as the molecular weight, logP, AlogP, H-bond acceptor, H-bond donor, total polar surface area, atom molar refractivity, number of rotatable bonds, number of atoms, rotatable bond count, number of rigid bonds, number of atom rings, and number of H-bonds, were calculated with a drug-likeness tool. In practical terms, the original and most well-known Lipinski’s Rule of Five (Ro5) was applied to 28 substances, namely 3-hydroxytyrosol; apigenin; artemisinin; bergapten; bilobalide; biochanin A; caffeic Acid; caffeoylmalic acid; catechins; cinnamic acid; curcumin; daidzei; daidzin; epicatechin; gallic acid; genistein; ginkgolide A; ginkgolide B; levofloxacin; luteolin; naringenin; p-coumaric acid; protocatechuic acid; psoralen; quercetin; trans-ferulic acid; tyrosol, and vanillin.
Manufacture and characterization of cationic nano-fibrillated cellulose from cotton pulp
Authors: Lee Soo Hyun , Jo Hae Min , Lee Ji Young
Published: March 2023

The applicability of cotton-bleached soda pulp (C-BSP) was investigated as a raw material for manufacturing cationic nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) via quaternization of anionic NFC using glycidyl-trimethyl-ammonium chloride (GMA). The anionic NFC was prepared by beating and micro-grinding C-BSP, and quaternization was performed post treatment to induce a charge reversal in anionic NFC. The characteristics of cationic NFC manufactured using C-BSP and hardwood-bleached kraft pulp (Hw-BKP) as a control were analyzed. Relatively higher mechanical energy was required to prepare anionic NFC from C-BSP than that from Hw-BKP. Fourier transform infrared and zeta potential analyses results showed that quaternization by GMA post treatment electrostatically induced charge reversal in anionic NFC. However, GMA did not affect the fiber width and viscosity of the cationic NFCs. It was found that cationic NFC could be manufactured via quaternization of anionic NFC manufactured from C-BSP using less GMA than that for Hw-BKP.
Antioxidant properties, oxidative stability, and fatty acid profile of pitaya fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus and Hylocereus undatus) seeds cultivated in Turkey
Authors: Ünver Ahmet
Published: March 2023

Pitaya is a tropical fruit from a newly cultivated plant in Turkey that has increasing economic value. In this study, its seed properties were investigated. Pitaya fruit samples used in the research were obtained from local producers in the Gazipaşa/Antalya region. The dry matter, protein, oil, and ash content of H. polyrhizus and H. undatus pitaya seeds were 89.7% to 89.1%, 19.8% to 17.5%, 22.8% to 24.0%, and 2.8% to 4.09%, respectively. The oil and protein contents of the seeds were very high. The total phenolic content, α-tocopherol content, γ-tocopherol content, free radical scavenging activity, and induction time of H. polyrhizus and H. undatus pitaya seeds were 12.8 to 11.9 mg GAE/g dry sample, 3.67 to 2.75 g/kg oil, 1.29, 1.64 g/kg oil, 46.9% to 51.5%, and 5.37 to 5.07 h, respectively. Seeds contained significant amounts of phenolic compounds and tocopherols, which play an important role in increasing oxidative stability. The percent inhibition of DPPH indicated that pitaya seeds may be evaluated as an antioxidant source. Unsaturated fatty acids were high in seed oils of both pitaya species. Linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, was dominant in both pitaya species. The chemical properties of the seeds were similar to those of species grown in tropical countries. Future studies should investigate other pitaya species grown in Turkey.
A Newly Discovered Anthropomorphic Vessel from Eastern Bulgaria
Authors: Danov Veselin
Published: March 2023

The topic of prehistoric anthropomorphic sculpture, its presentation and interpretation are widely covered in the works of Marija Gimbutas. In her honor is the submitted paper, which presents a representative and very interesting vessel. It is a vessel in the shape of a human body, rare in the Eneolithic era.The vessel was found accidentally on the surface of a settlement mound. It is partially preserved, but the available fragments allow to restore its shape and ornamentation. The massive legs and long feet allow the vessel to be placed upright. It is one of the most impressive specimens among this type of finds which represents a female mythological image, probably the Mother Goddess. Specific shape and ornamentation of the vessel suggest representative functions, probably used in various rites associated with prayers for fertility.
Cultural Interactions Between the Societies of the ‘Old Europe’ and the Steppe ‘Kurgan People’ During the Last Quarter of the 4th Millennium BC: Case Study of Serezlievka Local Group
Authors: Ivanov Mykyta , Tupciyenko Mykola
Published: March 2023

Cultural interactions between the societies of Old Europe and the Steppe ‘Kurgan people’ played a significant role in the academic writings of Maria Gimbutas. In her texts, the interplay between mentioned human groups was described as a dichotomy and was put into a framework of violent struggle. Three waves of destructive intrusion of steppe pastorals were reconstructed and the determinative role of ‘kurgan people’ in the spread of Indo-European nations was described (Gimbutas, 1993). However, although Gimbutas’ model is still influential and is used as a methodological framework for the most recent genomic studies (Haak et al., 2015), (Allentoft et al., 2015), (Juras et al., 2018), (Scorrano et al., 2021), there are certain archaeological data that allow suggesting a more complicated interaction than simple ‘east-to-west’ migration. In the current paper, we will publish a rare example of a kurgan burial with mixed Late Trypillia and ‘steppe’ traits, excavated by one of the authors in 1989 near the village of Pomichna. The context of similar burials discovered in the south of Eastern Europe between the South Buh and Dnieper rivers will be provided. The emergence of the Serezlievka local group with a hybrid Trypillia-steppe identity at the end of the 4th millennium BC will be conceptualized.
Feasibility and effectiveness of specialised exercise training/rehabilitation programme for patients with pulmonary hypertension and heart failure
Authors:   , Palevičiūtė Eglė
Published: March 2023

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and chronic heart failure (HF) are severe cardiovascular disorders, both of which are characterised by reduced physical capacity of the patients and poor survival. Despite modern treatment options, most PH patients still suffer from symptoms, poor health related quality of life and disease progression. The thesis evaluates the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a specialised rehabilitation programme in addition to optimal medical therapy in patients with precapillary and post-capillary PH. A prospective, multicentre, randomised, usual care controlled trial showed that a specialised rehabilitation programme is safe and effective for precapillary PH patients. This thesis also collects and describes data on organisational aspects that fill the knowledge gap and promote the use of PH rehabilitation in dedicated PH centres. This study also presents a systematic literature review, assessing the scientific evidence on the effects of exercise training and physiotherapy on cardiac morphological, functional and pulmonary blood flow parameters in patients, diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and shares a newly developed multicentre study protocol to assess the effects of exercise training on PH-HFpEF patients.
The Customer as an Accounting Entity
Authors: Bochenek Magdalena
Published: March 2023

The aim of the article was to present the customer as an accounting entity. The article describes the growing role of the customer in company management. Businesses are increasingly customer-oriented, and this also results in a customer orientation of management accounting methods which can be used to measure customer costs and customer value. The results of the research on customer orientation of enterprises are discussed. The research was conducted among enterprises based in the Podkarpackie region with more than 49 employees. The results confirmed that the employees consider their customers to be important as they generate the most revenue. In contrast, a relatively small number of respondents identified customers as the people through whom the enterprise incurs costs and achieves economic success., whereas most entrepreneurs perceive customers only from the revenue side. The research methods used in the article are a critical analysis of the literature and a quantitative method, which consisted of direct research using the questionnaire technique.

This study examined the applicability of pomegranate peel extracts (PPE) and microencapsulated pomegranate peel extracts (MPE) in yogurts made with cow’s milk and soy drink mixtures. For preparing PPE, pomegranate peel powders were extracted by 50% ethanol in an ultrasonic water bath. PPE was encapsulated by using a spray dryer. Phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of PPE and MPE were determined and 0.5% and 1% PPE and MPE were used in yogurt production. Physicochemical, rheological, microbial and sensory properties of the yogurt samples stored at 4 °C were determined during storage. Extract addition affected storage modulus (G') values and lost tangent (tanδ) values. The extract additive prevented the growth of yeasts and moulds and extended the shelf life of the samples. The favorable effect of the extract on taste and aroma was determined in sensory tests. However, the extract contributed to the loss of textural properties such as syneresis and visible viscosity.

Son yıllarda özellikle Avrupa ve Amerika’da din değiştirme ve dönüştürme kalıpları hakkında çok sayıda araştırma yapılmıştır. Antropologlar, tarihçiler, psikologlar, sosyologlar, teologlar ve psikoterapi alanında çalışanlar da dahil olmak üzere çok çeşitli akademik disiplinlerin birçok üyesi bu konuya ilgi göstermiştir. Makalemizde din değiştirmenin geleneksel ve modern çalışmaları, bazı seçilmiş araştırmacılar aracılığıyla gözden geçirilerek kullandıkları bazı temel temalar, modeller ve metaforlar ele alınmıştır. Bu yaklaşımlar; kapsamları, aralıkları, iddiaları, yöntemleri, konuları, temel varsayımları ve iç tutarlılıkları açısından oldukça önemlidir. Buna göre din değiştirme sosyolojisi üzerine çığır açan çalışmalardan biri, L. Lofland & R. Stark’ın ünlü makalesi ‘‘Becoming a World-Saver: A Theory of Conversion to a Deviant Perspective (1965)’’ başlığını taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmayla din değiştirme çalışmalarında pasifist yaklaşımdan aktivist yaklaşıma doğru bir kırılma gerçekleşmiştir. Roger Straus’ın, ‘‘Religious Conversion as a Personal and Collective Accomplishment’’ (1979) adlı çalışması din değiştirmeyi birey ve grup odaklı ele alması bakımından önemlidir. James Richardson’ın ‘‘The Active vs. Passive Convert: Paradigm Conflict in Conversion/ Recruitment Research’’ (1985) çalışması ise aktif ve pasif din değiştirme kavramları arasındaki paradigma çatışmasına yer vermiştir. Max Heirich’in ‘‘Change of Heart: A Test of Some Widely Held Theories About Religious Conversion’’ (1997) adlı çalışması çeşitli sosyolojik dönüşüm teorilerini incelemiş, mevcut sosyolojik dönüşüm çalışmasının çoğunun geçerliliğini sorgulamıştır. Snow & Machalek’in 1984 yılında yapmış olduğu ‘‘The Sociology of Conversion” adlı çalışmada yeni dini hareketler kapsamında din değiştirme konusu ele alınmış, gençlerin bu dini gruplara neden ilgi gösterdikleri, gruplardan nasıl haberdar oldukları ve bu gruplara katılımlarıyla ilgili olarak yaşadıkları deneyimlere yer verilmiştir. Yine dönüşüm sürecini anlamaya yönelik birçok araştırma Lofland & Stark’ın (1965) ‘‘süreç modeli’’ tarafından yönlendirilmiştir. Söz konusu model, bu tarz çalışmalarda din değiştirme sürecinin genel bir versiyonu olarak ele alınmıştır. Dönüşüm konusunu sosyolojik açıdan ele alan son çalışmalardan bir diğeri ise; Lewis Rambo’ya aittir. L. Rambo yedi aşamalı bir dönüşüm süreç modeli ortaya koyarak alana değerli bir katkı sağlamıştır

RESUMO Neoplasias da confluência biliopancreática podem cursar com obstrução da via biliar, levando a icterícia, prurido e colangite. Nesses casos a drenagem da via biliar é imperativa. A colangiopancreatografia endoscópica retrógrada (CPER) com colocação de prótese coledociana constitui tratamento eficaz em cerca de 90% dos casos mesmo em mãos experientes. Nos casos de insucesso da CPER, tradicionalmente as opções terapêuticas incluem a derivação cirúrgica por hepaticojejunostomia (HJ) ou drenagem percutânea transparietohepática (DPTH). Nos últimos anos as técnicas endoscópicas ecoguiadas de drenagem biliar ganharam espaço por serem menos invasivas, eficazes e apresentarem incidência aceitável de complicações. A drenagem endoscópica ecoguiada da via biliar pode ser realizada pelo estômago (hepatogastrostomia), duodeno (coledocoduodenostomia) ou pela técnica de drenagem anterógrada. Alguns serviços consideram a drenagem ecoguiada da via biliar o procedimento de escolha no caso de insucesso da CPER. O objetivo desta revisão é apresentar os principais tipos de drenagem biliar endoscópica ecoguiada e confrontá-los com outras técnicas.
ARTIGO - O PROCESSO DE AVALIAÇÃO COMO PESQUISA: REFLEXÕES A PARTIR DE UMA PESQUISA SOBRE A EDUCAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA NA ESCOLA DA INFÂNCIA
Authors: LICHENE CLAUDIA
Published: March 2023

RESUMO Alguns documentos (Proposal for key principles of a Quality framework for Early Childhood Education and Care, 2014, Indicazioni Nazionali per il curricolo della scuola dell’infanzia e del primo ciclo di istruzione italiana, 2012) estabelecem a importância da avaliação formativa como processo de pesquisa e inovação. A avaliação educacional, por meio da observação e análise da documentação pedagógica, permite ao professor avaliar a sua proposta educativa e melhorá-la para favorecer o aprendizado. Para isso, a presente pesquisa se detém sobre o ensino de ciências na pré-escola. Toma como referência teórica os estudos de Dewey (1933; 1938), Vygotsky (1930; 1934), Wood, Bruner, Ross (1976) e, em especial, o que tange a psicanálise sobre os processos psíquicos como base da curiosidade e da experiência de Susan Isaacs (1930; 1933) na Malting House. O principal objetivo da pesquisa é destacar as condições (espaço, material, abordagem adulta) que melhor promovam a investigação científica pelas crianças. A abordagem "promover a partir de dentro" (Bondioli, 2008; Bondioli, Savio, 2009; Bondioli, 2015) como referência útil para o planejamento e ações dos adultos com o objetivo de promover o desenvolvimento de uma atitude científica. Os dados foram coletados por meio de observação e registro em vídeo e caderno de campo, foram elaboradas duas grades de análise: uma referente ao comportamento epistêmico das crianças e outra referente às estratégias e funções do adulto. A primeira análise destacou algumas sugestões interessantes sobre as condições do contexto educativo (estratégia de intervenção adulta, material, espaço) que melhor favorecem o desenvolvimento de uma atitude científica em termos de aquisição de pensamento crítico, entendida como uma como atitude de pesquisa ativa que leva à construção, de forma autônoma e participativa, de conhecimento e compreensão no campo científico (Andersson, Gullberg, 2014; Onida, Salvadori, 2020). A coleta e organização dos dados possibilitou a construção de duas grades de análise: uma para analisar a conduta científica das crianças, outra para destacar as estratégias e funções do adulto. A dimensão exploratória que caracteriza a minha pesquisa permitiu-me, em conclusão, levantar duas hipóteses (Lumbelli, 1980) que devem ser melhor investigadas: 1) Se o adulto intervém com uma abordagem que promove a partir de dentro, deixa espaço para a criança e sua curiosidade e oferece momentos de discussão e discussão no grupo, então ele promove a conduta científica. 2)Se o adulto não intervém ou o faz por meio de diretrizes, não favorece o desenvolvimento de uma atitude de pesquisa.

RESUMO: A percepção do processo de aprendizagem é moldada por experiências individuais e relacionadas ao meio acadêmico. Este artigo objetivou avaliar a percepção do ambiente educacional de estudantes de medicina ligados ao grupo de mentoria entre pares GEDAAM (Grupo de Estudos em Didática Aplicada ao Aprendizado da Medicina) da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Os dados são provenientes de estudo transversal com 129 membros do GEDAAM. A escala Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) foi utilizada para avaliar a percepção do ambiente educacional. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e comparativas (Teste Qui-quadrado). Para quase todos os Domínios avaliados, a percepção dos estudantes foi mais positiva do que negativa (escore Global = 108,41). Quanto maior o tempo de permanência no GEDAAM, pior a percepção Global do ambiente educacional. Sugere-se que participar do GEDAAM contribua para uma visão mais crítica do ambiente de ensino de medicina.

Abstract A survey and characterization of entomogenous galls and their associated fauna were carried out in six remnants of Caatinga in the Northern Depressão Sertaneja, in the states of Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará. We identified 41 gall morphotypes in 24 plant species, belonging to 12 botanical families. Fabaceae had 29.2% (n = 12) of the total number of gall morphotypes found. Leaves (61%) and stems (25%) were the most attacked organs. Most morphotypes are glabrous (75.6%), while only 24.4% exhibit trichomes. Most galls were induced by insects of the Cecidomyiidae family. The associated fauna comprised successors, cecidophages, tenants, and parasitoids. Sucessors were found in four morphotypes of galls and included spiders and four orders of insects: Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, and Hymenoptera (Formicidae). The tenants were represented by Tanaostigmoides (Tanaostigmatidae). The parasitoids, found in 18 morphotypes (43.9%), were represented by six families of Hymenoptera. We recorded the occurrence of new types of galls in 12 species of host plants. These gall records are new references for the Northern Depressão Sertaneja in the studied states.
