Authors: Spampinato Michele Domenico , Costanzini Anna , De Giorgio Roberto , Passaro Angelina , Realdon Nicola , Bortolotti Fabrizio , Banella Sabrina , Colombo Gaia
Published: August 2024

Background and Purpose: Aiming to achieve light sedation via intranasal administration, this study showed that propofol (PPF) did not permeate across the rabbit nasal mucosa ex vivo from its marketed emulsion for injection. Experimental approach: Dilution of the emulsion with methyl-b-cyclodextrin in saline solution increased propofol solubility in water and diffusion across the nasal epithelium. Key results and conclusion: Despite these positive effects of the cyclodextrin, the amount of PPF permeated was minimal in 3 h, exceeding the formulation residence time in the nose. These results highlight the key role of formulation and the need for innovation in solubility and transmucosal transport enhancement techniques to optimize drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy.

In the digital age, social networks have become an extension of our existence, shaping interactions and influencing behaviors. This article investigates the impacts of this digital revolution on mental health, examining how excessive use of platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube can trigger mental disorders. The research explores the triggers present in social networks that foster psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and digital addiction. However, it is essential to recognize that social networks, when well used, can have a positive character, facilitating the connection between people, promoting access to information and offering emotional support. Based on a literature review of relevant studies, this work synthesizes the existing knowledge about the relationship between the use of social networks and mental health, addressing the effects of algorithms, social comparison, and exposure to idealized content. In addition, the implications of these findings for clinical practice and the prevention of mental disorders are discussed, emphasizing the importance of educational interventions, public policies, and digital hygiene strategies. The methodology involved a critical analysis of selected articles through specific descriptors on platforms such as Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the negative effects of social networks and promote a healthier use of these platforms.

The treatment of leishmaniasis in humans faces challenges such as drug resistance and treatment abandonment. In this context, the search for an effective vaccine is crucial as a prophylactic measure. This study compares drug treatment and vaccination. Methodology: An integrative review was carried out with the descriptors "leishmaniasis", "treatment", "vaccine" and "prevention" in databases such as PUBMED, Scielo, Medscape and DATASUS Tabnet.Results: Drug treatment includes three lines of medications, each with distinct challenges. On the other hand, vaccination is seen as a primary measure of immunoprophylaxis, with different generations of vaccines, including those based on the parasite's DNA. Discussion: In developing countries, such as Brazil, the need for effective and accessible treatment is pressing. Vaccination has advantages in cost and effectiveness, but more studies are needed to consolidate this form of prevention. Final Considerations: Investing in vaccines against leishmaniasis offers advantages in cost and effectiveness compared to drug treatment. Given the failures of conventional treatment, vaccination emerges as a promising prevention strategy.
Historical evolution of chromatographic methods for the determination of endosulfan and its metabolites in water samples
Authors: Mazza Felipe Cury , Sampaio Nilo Antônio de Souza , Mühlen Carin Von
Published: August 2024

Endosulfan is a highly toxic, broad-spectrum insecticide. Alpha-endosulfan, Betha-endosulfan, and their metabolites are on the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants list. Endosulfan metabolites exhibit a wide range of chemical characteristics resulting in hard work for chemical analysts to specify all known degradation products of this insecticide in environmental matrices. This manuscript reviews the evolution of analytical methods related to the determination of endosulfan and its metabolites in environmental matrices. Specific metabolites, such as endosulfan alcohol, have very different physicochemical properties from the parent compound, so the use of a single satisfactory extraction method for endosulfan and its metabolites has not yet been achieved. Also, new endosulfan metabolites have recently been added to the list of their degradation products. The determination of these compounds in multi-pesticide analytical methods over the years was also discussed.

This phenomenon, together with increased longevity due to advances in salud, education and reduced fertility rates, presents unique challenges and opportunities for society. Against this backdrop, the design of digital interventions that promote active and healthy aging becomes a priority. This work proposes the initial development of a web application aimed at supporting memory in older adults, applying a holistic approach that integrates knowledge from various disciplines. The application is based on principles of accessibility, usability and user-centered design, seeking not only to improve cognition, but also to offer a tool that facilitates social inclusion and improves the quality of life of older adults. By focusing on accessibility and inclusive design, this project contributes directly to technological intervention strategies in the field of aging, marking a step forward in the development of solutions that respond effectively to the needs of a growing population.
Confluences between gender and religion: a research experience in Cuba
Authors: Sicilia Lorenzo Raquel Elena , De la Rua Marin Yuniel , Aguilar Núñez Aurora
Published: August 2024

The dialogue between gender and religion in Cuba reveals both female empowerment and the perpetuation of stereotypes and discrimination. Despite policies promoting equality, women still assume greater domestic responsibilities, limiting their participation in paid work. A study by the Department of Socioreligious Studies (DESR) of CIPS in Havana showed that more than 86 % of the Cuban population has religious elements in their consciousness, highlighting the need to address gender and religion in the country. The study "New Religious Movements in Cuba" and other reports reveal that traditional religious practices, such as the Ocha-Ifá and Palo Monte Rules, assign subordinate roles to women. Evangelical and Neo-Pentecostal churches also limit female leadership, while Spiritualism and Buddhism show greater gender equity. The research "Religious freedom and social coexistence in Cuba" focused on rights in religious communities, evidencing perceptions of gender equity and inequity in the Workshops for Integral Transformation of the Neighborhood (TTIB). Interviews and focus groups with adults and children in the TTIBs revealed that gender inequities are easily recognized and discussed. Women expressed criticism of their religions, identifying hegemonic male participation and the assignment of traditional domestic roles. Children also recognized inequity and proposed actions to promote gender equity, such as education and equal distribution of responsibilities. The DESR research underscores the importance of a culture of peace and the eradication of gender-based violence, promoting education that fosters equity from childhood. Despite efforts, cultural and dogmatic constructs continue to perpetuate gender inequality in religions

Effects of testosterone and physical exercise on muscle mass increase and fat tissue reduction: systematic review
Authors: Henriques Duque Ruan Franck , Postorivo Nauman José Vicente
Published: August 2024

Introduction: in this systematic review, the authors have examined the effects of physical exercise on serum testosterone levels. Due to the differing ages and physical conditions of the individuals studied and the various protocols used, the results obtained are highly controversial. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that there is a significant increase in plasma testosterone levels when exercises of submaximal and maximal intensity are performed. Conversely, a significant decrease in this hormone occurs when exercise is prolonged to exhaustion, both in young and adult individuals, being more pronounced in those better conditioned.
Objectives: to investigate the potential effects of testosterone treatment in combination with physical exercise in achieving an increase in muscle mass volume and tissue loss.
Methods: s systematic review of the literature was conducted using PubMed/Medline, SciELO, SCALE, and Google Scholar databases from inception to October 2023. Clinical trials were sought using keywords related to testosterone, BMI, and steroids. This review included clinical studies whose primary objective is to investigate the potential effects of testosterone treatment in combination with physical exercise for gaining muscle mass volume and tissue loss.
Results: exercise of submaximal and maximal intensity consistently increased plasma testosterone levels, while prolonged exercise leading to exhaustion showed a significant decrease, especially in wellconditioned individuals. However, the overall impact of testosterone treatment combined with exercise on muscle mass gain and tissue loss remains inconclusive and necessitates further rigorous investigation through controlled clinical trials.
Conclusion: the literature review suggests a need for further rigorous clinical trials to ascertain the efficacy and safety of such combined interventions, considering potential adverse events associated with testosterone treatment.

Authors: S. Nivetha , A. S. Maheswari , P. Anitha , M.V. Alli
Published: August 2024

Impact of feeding tender coconut water to the 5th instar larvae of the multivoltine silkworms along with mulberry leaves seems yielding better results in improving certain aspects of cocoon quality and hence this study was planned to test the efficacy of enhanced feed in the silkworm Bombyx mori through diet which can enhance the economic performance of silkworms, potentially improving silk production. Supplementing the diet of silkworms with tender coconut water had improved their economic performance, leading to increased cocoon weight, pupa weight and shell weight (1.33±0.17 g, 0.92±0.12 g and 0.24±0.34g) when compared to the control group. This suggests that incorporating tender coconut water into the diet of silkworms can enhance their productivity and economic value in Sericulture practices.
Predicting Locust Invasions in Eastern India: Strategies and Awareness for Long-Term Control
Authors: S Ghosh. , A Roy.
Published: August 2024

Wind direction, a key factor in forecasting locust migration, indicates a potential desert locust invasion in eastern Indian states. Current control measures are in place, but we recommend additional vigilance regarding locust eggs. The rainfall from Super Cyclones like Amphan creates favourable breeding conditions for locusts. Additionally, these locusts may damage the Indian states again through reverse migration. To minimize damage, a long-term control policy extending until the Kharif season (June to October) is essential. Increasing farmer awareness and engaging local ecology groups can significantly enhance desert locust reporting and control efforts. By implementing a robust, multi-faceted strategy that includes long-term control policies, farmer education, and community engagement, we can mitigate the impact of desert locust invasions and protect the agricultural productivity and livelihoods of the affected regions.

The aim of the study is to document the anatomical details of bones of pelvic limb of Indian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus). Six adult Indian mongooses are collected for the present study and which died due to natural causes. The bones are collected by fresh water maceration technique. The macro-anatomy of bones of pelvic limb is studied after fresh water maceration and cleaning. The anatomy of pelvic limb bones is found to be similar in structure to the other carnivores and some rodents that have been studied. Oscoxae, the bone of pelvic girdle is sturdy and the ilium and ischium runs parallel to the vertebral column. Pelvic symphysis is formed by the pubic symphysis only. The obturator foramen is large and oval and presents a characteristic cranio-lateral notch. Fovea capitis is indistinct in femoral head; femur consists of trochanter major and minor in proximal epiphysis. Two sesamoid bones “febellae” embed in the tendons of the origin of gastrocnemius muscle. Patella is a shield shaped bone that glides over the trochlea of femur. Tibia and fibula are two long bones, articulate at proximal and distal extremities with a wide interosseous space. Seven tarsals are arranged in three rows, located between the tibia and fibula dorsally and metatarsals distally. Five metatarsal bones, I-V are evident of which first one is short. Five digits are present, first one contains two phalanges and the remaining digits contain three phalanges each. Total of eight proximal sesamoids and five distal sesamoids are present in digit region of each limb. Altogether, 46 bones are involved in the formation of one pelvic limb in Indian mongoose.

Authors: Blanco Velandia Consuelo
Published: August 2024

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha tenido profundos efectos socioemocionales en las comunidades educativas de todo el mundo, influyendo significativamente en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Este artículo científico explora los impactos multifacéticos de la pandemia en el bienestar socioemocional y los resultados académicos de los estudiantes. En primer lugar, la pandemia requirió cambios abruptos hacia modalidades de aprendizaje híbrido y remoto, lo que alteró las rutinas educativas y las interacciones sociales tradicionales. Este cambio repentino planteó desafíos a la estabilidad emocional de los estudiantes, lo que provocó mayores niveles de ansiedad, estrés y sentimientos de aislamiento. La falta de redes de apoyo y socialización en persona exacerbó aún más estos problemas, afectando la salud mental y el bienestar general de los estudiantes. En segundo lugar, las disparidades socioeconómicas exacerbadas por la pandemia afectaron de manera desproporcionada a las poblaciones estudiantiles vulnerables. El acceso limitado a la tecnología y la conectividad estable a Internet obstaculizaron su participación en el aprendizaje en línea, ampliando las brechas de rendimiento existentes. Además, las dificultades financieras que experimentaron las familias contribuyeron a aumentar los niveles de estrés entre los estudiantes, lo que afectó su capacidad para concentrarse en las tareas académicas de manera efectiva. Además, el artículo analiza estrategias e intervenciones implementadas por instituciones educativas para mitigar los efectos socioemocionales negativos en los estudiantes. Estos incluyen servicios de asesoramiento virtual, programas de atención plena e iniciativas de extensión comunitaria destinadas a fomentar la resiliencia y apoyar la salud mental.

Kebutuhan akan energi sekarang ini semakin meningkat sejalan dengan perkembangan pertumbuhan manusia serta ekonomi. Jika hanya mengandalkan akan energi fosil maka kebutuhan pada beberapa tahun kedepan akan sangat berdampak pada kesimbangan sumber daya alam. Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman serta diikuti dengan menipisnya cadangan sumber daya fosil yang selama ini menjadi energi diseluruh dunia, telah melahirkan banyak teknologi pengkonversi sumber daya alam terbarukan sebagai upaya penekanan pemakaian bahan bakar fosil. Salah satu teknologi tersebut adalah fluidized bed combustor (FBC). Penelitian ini menjelaskan tentang kegunaan bahan bakar sampah yang dapat dijadikan perencanaan ruang bakar fluidisasi. Pada perancangan jumlah lubang dan diameter lubang distributor jenis perforated plat sangat baik dalam mendistribusikan aliran udara ke hamparan pasir untuk proses fluidisasi. Perbedaan akibat ketinggian pasir dapat dilihat pada tinggi pasir 3 cm membutuhkan waktu 16 menit untuk melakukan proses pemanasan awal, 4 cm tinggi pasir membutuhkan waktu 18 menit untuk melakukan pemanasan awal dan tinggi pasir 5 cm membutuhkan 21 menit untuk melakukan proses pemanasan awal. Jadi dapat dilihat, semakin tinggi pasir maka proses pemanasan awal lebih lama namun proses penyimpanan panas pada bed lebih baik.

Penelitian ini mempelajari analisa performance bahan bakar biogas terhadap emisi gas buang yang dihasilkan oleh mesin generator set dan sebagai operasional genset berbahan bakar bensin menjadi berbahan bakar biogas perlu dilakukan modifikasi pada bagian karburator. Dalam reaksi pembakaran sempurna terdapat gas penghambat seperti karbon dioksida, gas pengotor seperti hidrogen sulfida, gas yang dibutuhkan pembakaran seperti oksigen dan pembakaran tidak sempurna akan menghasilkan gas monoksida. Pengujian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan gas chromatographi pada pembebanan 0/tanpa beban, 300, 600, 900 Watt. Analisa yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini meliputi nilai kalor yang terjadi, reaksi pembakaran, daya, torsi, tekanan efektif rata-rata, pemakaian bahan bakar spesifik, dan thermal yang terjadi pada genset. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan lebih efisien menggunakan biogas hasil purifikasi untuk emisi gas buang CO2 terendah sebesar 9,1089 %, untuk O2 sebesar 16,7165 % tetapi dari segi kwalitas pembakaran bensin lebih baik digunakan daripada biogas disebabkan kandungan unsur karbon bensin lebih tinggi.
