Pectinases: desenvolvimento e aplicações como ferramentas biotecnológicas
Authors: Melo Nícollas Emanuel Tolentino , Duarte Gilvan Caetano , Melo Diego Franklin Tolentino
Published: December 2023

A pectina é um heteropolissacarídeo formado, principalmente, por resíduos de ácido D-galacturônico, presente nas paredes celulares vegetais. Tem caráter espessante e estrutural, e sua presença pode resultar em características negativas em produtos de interesse. A produção de enzimas por cultivo microbiológico, seja submerso ou em estado sólido, também constitui importante “ferramenta biotecnológica”, capaz de reduzir a emissão de resíduos poluentes e agregar valor a certos produtos, comumente referidos com biomassa residual. Dentre os microrganismos mais utilizados como produtores de pectinases interessantes à biotecnologia, destacam-se os fungos filamentosos, capazes de produzir elevados títulos de concentrações proteicas. Enzimas específicas são capazes de solucionar os problemas causados pela pectina em diversas modalidades da indústria. Para isso são utilizadas as pectinases, biocatalizadores capazes de desesterificar ou hidrolisar o substrato citado, proporcionando vantagem industrial. Neste trabalho buscou-se enfatizar resultados positivos alcançados em etapas industriais, por meio da utilização de pectinases, como “ferramentas biotecnológicas”, como por exemplo, na extração de sucos e óleos, manipulação da turbidez em bebidas, branqueamento de papel, tratamento de fibras têxteis, e liberação de compostos vantajosos à saúde humana.

Introduction: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool used in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. Post-ERCP pancreatitis is the most common complication of this procedure. We evaluated the results of patient procedures found at ERCP in a reference service of the SUS, determining a success rate, epidemiological profile and frequency of complications. Methods: Retrospective and cross-sectional study carried out from August 2019 to December 2020, with a final sample of 217 patients. Information was collected from the database of the Santa Casa de Maceió Endoscopy Service, using a semi-structured questionnaire containing age, gender and data regarding: indication of the ERCP procedure, success rate, in addition to complications. The description of the data obtained was presented using descriptive statistics. Results: We observed a predominance of females (70.5%), with a mean age of 53.9 years. All therapeutic procedures and choledocholithiasis represent the main indication (76.4%). The most common procedures were: biliary cannulation for stone removal (62.2%), passage of biliary stent (19.8%) and removal of biliary stent (10.5%). The procedure success rate was 92.6%, complications occurred in 6.45%, the main one being acute pancreatitis in 3.7%. Conclusion: The study concluded that the main indication for performing ERCP was biliary obstruction by calculus. The observed success rate of the procedure was 92.6%. Complications after ERCP were infrequent (6.45%), with the highest frequency being acute pancreatitis, with an incidence of 3.7%.

The outbreak of the disease COVID-19 caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the WHO classified as an international pandemic, given the number of countries in which it was already registered. The virus coverage and restriction measures employed were to reduce the movement of people and effect social isolation, making it difficult to contact and group people. The relocation of primary health care professionals to provide care for COVID-19, the closure of outpatient clinics are reasons that negatively affected the medical follow-up for patients with Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). The objective of this work was to carry out a bibliographical survey of articles in online databases from 2019 to 2023 that addressed the chosen theme: CHRONIC NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES AND THEIR IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH POST-COVID-19. This work is a bibliographic review of the literature extracted from the online database Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Science (LILACS), Virtual Health Library (BVS) between 2019 to 2023. A new reclassified Action Plan was released, with an open Public Consultation focused on evaluating the Strategic Action Plan for Combating Chronic Diseases and Non-Transmissible Diseases in the country in the period 2021-2030. Patients with CNCD have greater use of health systems. Thus, it is essential that health environments, together with government officials, practice effective actions for the assistance of CNCD patients.
A theoretical essay on the influences of social science paradigms on organizational decisions for sustainability
Authors: Maia Andrei Giovani , Zucatto Luiz Carlos , Ferreira Elaine , Neto José de Pietro , Silva Geferson Gustavo Wagner Mota da
Published: December 2023

In a market economy, organizational decisions determine the fate of markets, societies, and nations. The constant challenges and the emergence of socio-environmental problems stimulate societies and organizations to seek a new paradigm as a disruptive worldview model that enables viable solutions and even more effective results, capable of overcoming the previous paradigm. Thus, the predominance of a paradigm tends to influence the evolution of science, organizational decision-making, the adaptation of markets and the advancement of society over time. The development of paradigmatic studies by the social sciences contributed to the classification of different worldviews and specific philosophical aspects that allowed the identification of functionalism/positivism as the dominant paradigm. The economic progress of industrial society was strongly influenced by the functionalist/positivist paradigm, whose philosophical bases are based on Cartesian rational thought directed to the objectives of maximizing economic results. However, given its objectivist and fragmentary bias, this dominant paradigm has serious limitations in disregarding other aspects or challenges such as socio-environmental ones. Currently, recognizing the limitations of the functionalist/positivist paradigm, both science and organizations seek to find models that better meet market demands in a more integrated, systemic and interpretative way to the various socio-environmental dimensions, aspects and challenges, pointing to a paradigmatic transition towards sustainability. Originating from the first author's doctoral thesis, this theoretical essay aimed to reflect on the possible influences of social science paradigms on organizational decisions for sustainability. This study used the paradigmatic classification of Burrell and Morgan (1979) to carry out some reflections on paradigms of the social sciences, organizational decision-making and sustainability. The study resulted in a typology that allows the classification of organizational decisions into simple and complex based on a set of criteria analyzed in the paradigmatic, methodological and theoretical perspective.
Knowledge graph: A strategy for knowledge management?
Authors: Macedo Valéria , Thurler Larriza , Dias Elaine , Cavalcanti Marcos
Published: December 2023

This exploratory study sought to deepen the understanding of the benefits of using the knowledge graph technological solution for knowledge management. Through a bibliometric analysis of 45 academic articles selected from the Scopus database, with no time range determined, it was observed that the term has been addressed in academic productions on various topics with a greater number of publications from Asian researchers (71%). To understand the relationships of the keywords used by the authors of these articles, the VOSviewer tool was used to create the graph, making it possible to visualize the terms' clusters. It was identified that the theme is emerging, as the first article published in the Scopus database took place in 2011 and an expressive growth of publications can be observed in 2020. The production of academic knowledge with the use of the coupled knowledge graph stands out to the design of algorithms that support tutoring and curation activities with a focus on knowledge management in the areas of Health - including during the Covid-19 pandemic - and Education. The transversality of this solution is also noted, with studies using knowledge graphs in the areas of Engineering and Computer Science being observed. After further analysis, the authors selected 12 articles that presented initiatives focused on the area of Management and the use of the technological solution in activities aimed at intelligent recommendation can be observed, including the adoption of artificial intelligence and sampling algorithms for the study and development of solutions that resulted in the visualization of knowledge bases through the knowledge graph. The trend of using knowledge graphs for knowledge management pointed out by Knowledge Management (KM) World magazine can be found in business environments, such as Google and Wikipedia. It is believed that more empirical studies with knowledge graphs for knowledge management will be intensified in the digital age and this can be followed up in scientific congresses on the subject.

Authors: Aguirre Marcela , Peñafiel Sergio , Anlage April , Brown Emily , Enriquez Chavez Cecilia , Paredes Inti
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to develop a predictive model for cancer stage using data from a Chilean cancer registry. Several factors, including cancer type, patient age, medical history, and time delay between diagnosis and treatment, were examined to determine their association with cancer stage. Multiple supervised multi-class classification methods were tested, and the best-performing models were identified. The results showed that the random forest, SVM polynomial, and composite models performed well across different stages, although distinguishing between Stages II and III was more challenging. The most important features for predicting cancer stage were found to be cancer type, TNM variables, and diagnostic extension. Variables related to treatment timing and sequence also showed some importance. It was emphasized that the results of predictive models should be interpreted carefully to avoid overprediction or underprediction. Clinical context and additional information should be considered to enhance the accuracy of predictions. The small dataset and limitations in data availability posed challenges in accurately predicting cancer stage for different cancer types. Implementing the predictive model can have various benefits, including informing treatment decisions, assessing disease severity, and optimizing resource allocation. Further research and expansion of the model's scope were recommended to improve its performance and impact. Overall, the study emphasized the potential of predictive models in cancer staging and highlighted the need for ongoing advancements in this field

Demiryolları konusu XIX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren önem kazanmıştır. Demiryolunun geçmiş dönemdeki önemi ve sosyo ekonomik hayata etkileri incelendiğinde, Osmanlının son dönemlerinde başlayan demiryolu Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarında yoğun şekilde devam etmekte ve beraberinde yeni sosyo ekonomik ve politik bağlar kurarak Türkiye ekonomisi için yeni çekim merkezleri meydana getirdigi görülmektedir. Günümüzde özellikle çevre faktörleri, temel ihtiyaçların karşılanmasını, ve ulaşım konusunu yeniden düşünmeye itmektedir. Demiryolu taşımacılığı, daha az enerji gerektirmesi ve çevre dostu olması nedeniyle yaygın kullanılan karayolu taşımacılığı kaynaklı sorunları azaltmak için önemli bir alternatif olarak kabul edilmektedir. İklim sorunu ile başa çıkma mücadelesinde, daha toplumcu ve daha çevreci, enerji tasarrufu sağlayan bir demiryolu bugünün sorunları için çözüm olabilir mi sorusu çalışmanın temel savını oluşturmaktadır. Türkiye için bugün geleneksel demiryolu yerini yüksek hızlı ve hızlı tren sistemine bırakmaktadır. Çalışma, Türkiye’deki demiryolu sisteminin dünden bugüne tarihsel dönemeçleri üzerinden anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Sürdürülebilir bir dünya tartışmalarının yapılageldiği bir dönemde toplu ulaştırmanın yarattığı toplumsal ve çevresel etkiler üzerinde düşünmek demiryolu ulaşımını yeniden gündeme almamızı gerektirmektedir.
INTERNATIONAL LEGAL PRACTICE OF REGULATION AND LIBERALIZATION OF CURRENCY RELATIONS
Authors:   Yessenov University, Moldagaliyeva Aigerim
Published: December 2023

Abstract. The proposed article analyzes the features and current state of the legislative development of instruments of currency regulation and currency control in international practice. The author managed to conduct a comprehensive study of this topic and to a certain extent reveal it. It was considered whether the monetary policy has a significant impact on improving the economy and economic security of the state. Also in the scientific article, as an example, one's own subjective views are given, the author's position is justified. The relevance of the scientific article is emphasized by the fact that currently many countries are trying to lift restrictions on foreign exchange transactions and the movement of capital funds in order to create an economy attractive to foreign investors and resistant to external influences. Thus, the process of liberalization consists in lifting restrictions on the implementation of currency transactions between currency residents and non-residents in the international arena. In this regard, the author has legislatively analyzed and considered in detail the issue of the formation and development of the principles of capital movement liberalization at the international legal level. As a result of the study, it was found that since the adoption by individual states or integration associations of legislation in the field of currency regulation and currency control, currency restrictions began to weaken (in particular, the obligation to reserve currency and issue transaction passports during cross-border transactions was excluded). Currently, developed countries are systematically continuing the liberalization of currency legislation. At the same time, within the framework of liberalization, there is an increase in state attention to the property and income of foreign currency residents abroad in order to "educate" the economy. At the same time, the idea was formulated that the interests of society and the state from the point of view of national security and welfare should be taken into account when liberalizing. On the example of integration associations, the advanced foreign practice of currency and financial regulation is revealed. In addition, the features of the regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan in this area were considered, the author expressed his opinion on the need for further improvement of legislation to create a financial system resistant to external influences and international pressure. Keywords: monetary and financial relations, liberalization, currency regulation, international documents, obligations, principle, capital movement, regulation of relations.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. The possibilities of updating pedagogical practice play an important role in the realization of the individuality of a developing personality. Self-awareness - a sense of a person as a person begins to form at preschool age. In children with mental retardation, this process is slow and especially. Therefore, it is necessary to pay timely attention to the creation of a psychological and pedagogical environment suitable for the development of self-awareness. At the level of providing practical assistance to children with intellectual retardation, it is difficult to solve it, since the methods and specific techniques of personality-oriented diagnostics and correction have not been sufficiently developed. The emergence of the basic elements of self-awareness in children with mental retardation before school age has not been studied. Theoretically determine the basis of the problem of the origin of autism and the specifics of the mental development of autistic children, study and consider the cause of communication difficulties in children diagnosed with autism. A theoretical analysis is made of the problem of self-consciousness of preschool children with mental retardation, ways of working on the formation of self-consciousness and the services of specialists involved in this process, the relevance of the identified problems, and practical requirements. and a system of complex correctional and developmental work, the features of self-awareness, ways of developing the motor activity of children at home are considered.

The genre of concert symphony in the works of Haydn and Mozart
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Nagina Dana A.
Published: December 2023

The article focuses on the concert symphony (fr. symphonie concertante, it. sinfonia concertata) – a classical music form which remains little studied in Russian musicology – as is exemplified in the works of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The study raises three questions crucial for the history and theory of the genre. First, the article analyses the development of ideas about concertante as well as relevant terminology. Reference books and scientific works of the 18th-early 21st centuries provide different points of view on the genre. Some highlight its symphonic nature, while others take a middle position or lean toward its concert-related aspects. Second, the article analyses different models of concert symphonies shaped in different regional traditions. The study has allowed to distinguish two mainstream lines of genre development – German and French (C. Stamitz and A. Stamitz, C. Cannabich, J.B. Davaux, G. Cambini, F. J. Gossec, and others), and Austrian (J. Haydn, C.D. von Dittersdorf, W.A. Mozart, I. Pleyel, F.A. Hoffmeister, L. van Beethoven, and others). In both traditions, concert symphonies are generally cyclic orchestral works with elaborated parts for two or more solo instruments. They are often marked by virtuoso cadences in one or several movements as well as a major tonality and cheerful festive mood. However, in many aspects Austrian concert symphonies differ from German and French ones. The article examines the features of Austrian concertante (the third aspect of the research) based on the evidence from concert symphonies and concerts for several solo instruments by Mozart and Haydn. The key features include a three- or four-part cycle, a variety of musical forms with sonata-like features as a backbone, thoughtful intonation patterns and thematic connections, equal standing of soloists and orchestra or, at times, the predominance of the latter. The study suggests that Austrian concert symphonies are closer to the symphonic interpretation in contrast to more concert-like German and French compositions written in this genre.
A Russian way of depicting true Portuguese traditions? Alentejo Suite No. 1 by Luis de Freitas Branco and its connections with intergalisimo lusitano
Authors:   New University of Lisbon, Pina Isabel
Published: December 2023

Luís de Freitas Branco is one of the most recognized Portuguese composers of the 20th century. During his life his name often appeared in national and international press on multiple occasions of premières and other presentations of his work. Posthumously, his life and work has been central to Portuguese musicology. However, some dimensions of his life have been hidden or not sufficiently covered, such as his connections with Integralismo Lusitano, a nationalist pro-monarchy political movement. Recently, this movement, created after the Proclamation of the Republic by politically disaffected university students, has been gaining more interest by experts in musicology, and it is often mentioned as one of the main influences on the ideology of Estado Novo due to its nationalism, regionalism, traditionalism, highly hierarchical idealization of society, and anti-democratic stance. In the 1910s Luís de Freitas Branco was highly committed to this group, participating in propaganda conferences, writing critical reviews and chronicles in journals and newspapers of the movement, and composing orchestral works to praise its values. Amongst them, we can mention a symphonic poem based on a historical figure who supposedly contributed to the foundation of the Portuguese sovereignty, soloist concertos inspired by folklore, and Alentejo Suite No. 1 composed in 1919 with regionalist intentions: it depicted a specific Portuguese region in the South of the country, where the composer and some of the intellectuals related to Integralismo Lusitano had rural properties. Curiously, the flatlands of Alentejo were depicted resorting to the topics used by Borodin to musically describe the Russian steppe, intertwined with references to Korsakov. Thus, wandering through the composer’s political and aesthetical intentions, this article intends to explore the connections of Luís de Freitas Branco with the pro-monarchy movement, highlighting some elements of one of his most iconic works of this period, Alentejo Suite No. 1.

পীচ ফল (Peach Fruit)
Authors: Gayen Pinaki
Published: December 2023

Transporting self to a distant place of belonging and delving deep into the nostalgic past constitutes the soul of this poetry. The descriptions in harking back to the past give a slice of vivid visual of daily life from the heart of Bengal - the city of Kolkata; as though the poet’s heart too belongs there. Isolation and intended self-exile ring throughout the lines, where the poet is seen constantly mediating between past and future. As the thought of the future hinders him from complete escape, the recollection of his homeland reiteratively haunts him in the foreign land. While tossed in between, the poet goes for unconcerned walks, grapples with directions, and dives into deep thought. Thus, the symbolic peach fruit, the reference of which appears as the title itself, sources the poet’s stream of thought for being a constant reminder of his residing far away from his mother state. At last, the concluding remarks on the poet’s urge to pen down everything flag the message of the portance of writing.

Published: December 2023

Gods and Mathematicians' is an endless generative, interactive poem developed in Max/MSP as an experiment in surrealism and language development. Built by concatenating over a 100 text files, the poem juxtaposes often-ridiculous and over-the-top imagery with grammatical structures that are meant to evoke humorous, satirical responses and at the same time, encourage thinking outside of conventional norms of what is considered poetry. Taking on a deeply apocalyptic tone, the poem talks about conflict and how it often stays unresolved owing to inter-personal conflicts or lack of understanding between two different sides. Broken into two halves, the poem simulates a dialog of sorts between 'gods' and 'mathematicians'. The left side of the poem puts forth the idea that all things are already pre-destined and pre-ordained even though it might be full of conflicts and problematic occurrences. It takes on a more idealistic perception of the world as we know it. On the other hand, the right-hand side takes on a more 'human' perspective on life, full of biases, anger and pride. It has a very self-centred approach to the world. Yet, the right side somehow feels confused about what it really wants, sometimes even going to the point of ridiculing and mocking the notion of 'benevolent forces'. What results is a confusing hodge-podge of phrases, words and sentences that more often than not, make a lot of sense about the world we live in, the different perspectives we have and what happens when opposing ideas clash with each other.

Der Sprung in den Glauben
Authors: De Candia Gianluca
Published: December 2023

Nichts steht uns näher als unsere Existenz. Doch gibt es Fremdheitserfahrungen, in denen wir einen Sprung machen müssen, um uns selbst nahezukommen. Ähnliches gilt für den christlichen Glauben, in dem Ahnung und Wissen, Vertrautheit und Sprung ins Fremde, Gottes- und Selbsterkenntnis einander finden. Ausgehend von lebensweltlichen Vorgängen und Erfahrungen wie Geburt, Fragilität und Erpressbarkeit des Menschen und Phänomenen wie Spiel, Charme, Humor, Liebe und der leiblichen Konkretheit entwickelt De Candia einen umfassenden theologischen Verständnishorizont, um Urthemen des Glaubens (Gottesbejahung, Erbsünde, Christologie, Gnade, Trinität, Auferstehung) als existenzrelevant zu erweisen.
Von Teekannen, Gott und Gänseblümchen
Authors: Breul Martin , Tappen Julian
Published: December 2023

Ist es sinnvoll, an eine unsichtbare Teekanne zu glauben, die zwischen Erde und Mars ihre Bahnen zieht, ohne je von Menschen beobachtet werden zu können? Was hätte eine Überwachungskamera im Grab Jesu aufgenommen? Können wir uns vorstellen, dass Menschen in ihrem Leben erfolgreich den Verstrickungen aus Schuldzusammenhängen entkommen können? Wäre Rasenmähen verboten, wenn eine weltanschauliche Mehrheit Gänseblümchen in Deutschland für heilig erklärt? Wer auf die hypothetischen Szenarien Antworten formuliert, ist schon mitten drin in dem, was als 'Gedankenexperiment' bezeichnet wird. Das Buch bietet eine Fülle von Experimenten in verständlicher Sprache und ermöglicht so einen innovativen Zugang zu Grundfragen der Theologie für alle, die Interesse an der Frage nach dem Sinn der eigenen Existenz und dem Grund allen Seins haben. Es stellt eine innovative Einführung in die Systematische Theologie dar.
Student Teacher Experiences of the Teaching Practicum in an Initial Teacher Education Programme in the Western Cape

Teaching practicum effectiveness is determined by several factors: adherence to the norms and standards that govern acceptable school-based-student teacher practicum assessment and student teacher assignment to teaching schools, as prescribed under the teaching school-university partnership practicum model. At the heart of the teaching experience are two relationships: one between mentor teachers and student teachers and the other between teacher educators and student teachers in assessment of their practices. Assessment plays a multifaceted role in supporting the process of learning, in judging student achievement in relation to course requirements, and in maintaining standards of the profession. As enacted in the teacher program, assessment assists teacher educators in the formative and summative evaluation of student teachers when assigned for the practicum in teaching schools. A qualitative research phenomenological case study design, targeting 10 student teachers who completed their teaching school-based practicum after a four-year BEd foundation phase program, was adopted to explore student teacher experiences of school-based assessment. To substantiate the findings, qualitative data were collected through biographical forms, semi-structured interviews, teaching practicum portfolios, and the Teaching Practicum Manual for Sessions 1 and 2 as implemented by a selected university offering an initial teacher education (ITE) program with practicum mentorship. Content and thematic analyses were used to identify themes, with a series of common themes identified based on empirical, theoretical, and policy findings, to determine the impact of the existing practicum approach, a practicum assessment model, on student teacher levels of readiness to teach. Not all student teachers received the expected assessment experience. Several student teachers felt that the way the formative and summative evaluation processes were conducted and the feedback from the teacher educators based on only two visits were insufficient for fair performance evaluation over the 8–12 weeks of school practicum, although they regarded evaluator visits as helpful for reflection, grading, nurturing and a fair critique of their performance. Student teachers indicated to have gained considerable knowledge to improve lesson delivery and classroom management.
