This study aims to analyze the occurrence and composition of ferns along an elevational gradient and among different forest types and disturbance regimes in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The assessment was conducted using the monitoring protocol of the National Forest Inventory. The investigation revealed a high richness of ferns, with 122 species or morphospecies from 51 genera and 21 families. Among them, 81 species were terrestrial and 16 were epiphytes. The project also highlighted increasing richness with elevation, both for terrestrial and epiphytic ferns. Reflecting other environmental variables, elevation was a significant proxy factor in determining the taxonomic composition. Lowland forest was clearly differentiated from the montane one, which was characterized by epiphytic species from the Drynaria and Ctenopteris genera. Lowland disturbed and primary forests were slightly differentiated in terms of fern composition, the latter characterized by sciophilous species belonging to the Polypodium, Microlepia, and Pronephrium genera and the former mainly by species of the Gleichenia genus adapted to forest margins and gaps. The research points to the richness of ferns in PNG and their effectiveness as a potential indicator to characterize and monitor forest types and their conservation status with respect to a disturbance regime. In the future, studies should aim to increase species sampling in abundance and seek precision in understanding species response variables in diverse forest regimes.

Authors: ÖZEL Ali , Acar Ramazan
Published: May 2022

Aim of the present research was evaluation of growing some legume forage crops as second crop following to cereal harvest under irrigated conditions. Field trial was realized under Seydişehir Town – Konya City / Turkey ecological conditions for 2 years during the both vegetation periods of 2019-2020 years by 4 replications according to randomized blocks design. As material; forage pea (Pisum sativum L.), soybean (Glycine max. L.), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.), common vetch (Vicia sativum L.), and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) were used. According to the results of the research, statistically significant differences were found for plant height and green herbage yield as mean of the years. The obtained data also showed that the highest plant height and green herbage yield were taken from forage pea and common vetch. Additionally, plant height was between 126.76-117.94 cm values for pea and common vetch, while green herbage yield was 3085.50-1 and 2788.63 kg da-1 for pea and common vetch, respectively. Consequently, legume forage crops as second crop following to the harvest of cereals may be successfully grown under irrigated conditions.

Published: May 2022

This study was carried out to determine some morphological characteristics of 94 tomato genotypes at the S4 level and to reveal the relationships between these materials. In the study, leaf attitude, leaf length, leaf width, number of flowers, fruit color, fruit weight, fruit width, fruit length, the thickness of pericarp, fruit shape, fruit diameter, number of locules, and total soluble solid content (TTSC) were measured and observed in these genotypes. As a result of the phenotypic assessment, the maximum fruit weight values of the genotypes were observed as in G9 (317.59 g), G54 (310 g), G92 (292.85 g), G70 (287.01 g), and G110 (276.66 g); and the lowest fruit weight values were observed in G26 (18.302 g) and G8 (14.48 g). Average fruit length, fruit width, pericarp thickness, and the number of carpels were recorded (69.09 mm, 56.90 mm, 6.37 mm, and 4 carpels respectively). Tomato genotypes were also investigated using Cluster and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method based on these measurements and observations. As a result of this analysis, five independent principal component axes were obtained. While these axes represent 69.28% of the total variation, the eigen values were ranged between 1.06 and 4.02. According to the PCA analysis results, genotypes G7, G81, G93, and G103 were prominent in terms of leaf length, fruit width, fruit weight, and carpel number parameters. Based on TSSC results, the G65 genotype was found to be the most prominent one, and the genotypes G12 and G114 exhibit promising results for fruit color. A high degree of morphological variation was detected among tomato genotypes.

Published: May 2022

A carbon-based solid acid catalyst was prepared from papermaking sludge via calcining followed by sulfonation with p-toluenesulfonic acid. The micromorphology of several catalysts were compared via SEM, FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption, XPS, and UV spectrum. It was found that the micromorphologies of biochar surface modified with concentrated H2SO4, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and sulfanilic acid were different and closely related to the binding mechanism. The biochar and p-toluenesulfonic acid exhibited π-π* stacking and hydrophobic effects. The suitable pores and gaps on the biochar surface were the key to the loading of p-toluenesulfonic acid. However, no π-π* stacking and hydrophobic effects were observed between the biochar and sulfanilic acid. The amidation grafting of sulfanilic acid to the biochar surface could lift the restriction of surface pore structure. The catalytic performance of these catalysts was evaluated via fructose, glucose, and cellulose degradation to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). The HMF yield from fructose, glucose, and cellulose was 92.9%, 60.7%, and 28.6%, respectively, with the carbon-based solid acid catalyst. The carbon-based solid acid catalyst prepared from papermaking sludge and p-toluenesulfonic acid has the following advantages: a simple process, is environmentally friendly, and has good catalytic performance; as such, it has the prospect of industrialization.

Published: May 2022

The tracheid and crystalline properties of earlywood and latewood within the stems of Korean-grown Dahurian and Japanese larches were studied to obtain valuable information for identifying these two species and determining their wood quality. The tracheid length and width were examined via optical microscopy, and the relative crystallinity and crystallite widths were examined using the X-ray diffraction method. The tracheid length and width were greater in the Dahurian larch compared to the Japanese larch. In both wood species, the tracheid length and width increased as the growth ring number increased but stabilized at a certain growth ring number. The relative crystallinity was higher in the Japanese larch wood compared to the Dahurian larch wood, while the crystallite width in both species was similar. Neither the relative crystallinity nor the crystallite width displayed a constant trend from pith to bark. The differences in the tracheid properties and the relative crystallinity of both species could be used to identify them and evaluate their wood quality for their effective utilization.
Influence of surface finishing of hardwood cross-section on sound absorption performance
Authors: Jang Eun-Suk , Kang Chun-Won
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the sound absorption performance depending on surface finishing of the hardwood cross-section. The sound absorption performance of wood cross-sections was evaluated after band saw cutting, sandpaper polishing, and staining. The sound absorption performance was best following the band saw cutting and no other treatment. On the other hand, stain blocked the pores and decreased the sound absorption performance. This study suggests that finishing methods that preserve the integrity of vessels need to be considered when using wood as a sound-absorbing material.
Loranthus europaeus Jacq. infection alters leaves morphology and physiology of Persian oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.)
Authors: Hosseini Ahmad , Soleimani Reza
Published: May 2022

Leafy mistletoes are semi-parasitic plants that have negative impacts on their hosts, but there is inadequate knowledge about the impacts of Loranthus europaeus Jacq. on Persian oak trees (Quercus brantii Lindl.). This study examined the impacts of L. europaeus Jacq. on morphological and physiological characteristics of Persian oak tree leaves in western Iran. A forested area infested with L. europaeus Jacq. was selected to study. Five infected and five healthy Persian oak trees were selected. Leaf samples were collected from the southern side of infected and healthy tree crowns to quantify and compare the leaf area, leaf weight, and concentrations of leaf minerals. The area and weight of leaves and the amount of leaf K, P, and Ca in healthy trees were statistically more than in infected trees. Leaf N, Mg, Mn, Zn, and Fe contents were not significantly different between healthy and infected trees. The higher amount of leaf area and weight in healthy trees suggested that they had a better growing status, which increased their leaf size and weight. The higher concentrations of K and P in healthy trees indicated their greater growth and resistance to stresses such as mistletoe. Thus, mistletoe causes physiological disorders and decreased growth in oak trees.

β-glucosidases (3.2.1.21) are present in all domains of living organisms, and their importance in a number of essential biological processes and industrial applications has been highlighted. They are interesting for biomass conversion because b-glucans are the world’s largest source of biomass. For this reason, several fungal β-glucosidases have been investigated. The β-glucosidase gene of Aspergillus fumigatus, as well as its mutants D262E and W263F, were cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris in this study. Their optimum temperature, pH, glucose tolerance, metal ion effect, and Vmax, km, and kcat were determined. The optimal temperature for recombinant β-glucosidase was 65 °C. For mutant D262E, there is an improvement in pH stability ranging from 4 to 6. As compared to the D262E mutant and recombinant β-glucosidase, mutant W263F showed a higher glucose tolerance and kcat.

Yeast strains and appropriate hydrolysis conditions were selected for efficient single cell protein (SCP) production from waste rapeseed meal. High potential for effective biomass production was observed for Yarrowia lipolytica LOCK0264 with 10 g of rapeseed meal at 4.9 × 108 ± 1.5 × 108 (2.91 logarithmic units). The highest yeast multiplication rate was obtained for Metschnikowia pulcherrima NCYC747 with 12.5 g of rapeseed meal and with 15 g of rapeseed meal at 1.6 × 108 ± 3.8 × 107 and 4.5 × 108 ± 4.0 × 107 (2.75 and 2.86 logarithmic units, respectively).
Incineration Properties and Kinetic Studies of Sludge from Old Newsprint Fiber Line
Authors: Su Zhenhua , Fan Shujie , Gong Chen , Ni Jianping , Zhang Yu , Yang Bin , Peng Feng , Mahmoud Mohamed S.
Published: May 2022

The basic incineration properties of flotation deinking sludge and two kinds of flocculating sludge from old newsprint fiber line were studied. Coats-Redfern was used for incineration process analysis, and based on the kinetic parameters of the three types of studied sludge at a heating rate of 10 °C·min-1, the reaction orders were confirmed in the organic incineration region. The activation energy of the three sludge types were 38.78, 44.59, and 48.11 kJ·mol-1, and their frequency factors were 2.58 E+07 min-1, 3.19 E+06 min-1, and 1.50 E+06 min-1, respectively. Organics incineration in the flocculation sludge was more difficult than the incineration of the deinking sludge; as the flocculate dosage increased, the incineration difficulty increased. However, the amount of flocculating sludge generated from the flocculation treatment of the deinking white water accounted for less than 10% of the flotation deinking sludge, and their elemental content and calorific value related to combustion were also similar to each other; therefore, it could be predicted that the flocculating sludge would not greatly impact the sludge treatment system. Therefore, it could be incorporated into existing sludge incineration systems for reduction and thermal energy recovery.
Silica extraction from organosolv pretreated wheat straw
Authors: Llovera Laurence , Benjelloun-Mlayah Bouchra
Published: May 2022

The silica contained in biomass is generally recovered from the ashes after combustion. In this study, the main objective was the recovery of silica from wheat straw, without degrading the other biomass components. To achieve this goal, the wheat straw was first pre-treated by an acidic organosolv process to separate it into its three major components: cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses. The silica, due to the pre-treatment conditions, was in the cellulose fraction, from which it was extracted, under alkaline conditions. The goal was to recover pure silica with suitable particle size and BET surface area, enabling its use in various industrial applications. The extraction and precipitation steps of silica recovery were studied. After optimization, the silica extraction conditions were set at pH 9 to 10 and 85 °C and the precipitation at pH 5 to 5.5. In these conditions, up to 82% of total silica in straw was extracted with high purity, an average particle size of 4 µm, and a BET surface area of 156 m2/g. In summary, silica can be extracted from lignocellulosic biomass, at high yield and purity, without affecting the biorefinery co-products’ yields and quality.
Economic Performance and Political Choice in Ukraine

Published: May 2022

In this article the economic performance as a factor that determined the political choice of Ukrainians has been analyzed. It is proven by a panel model that, unlike the countries with developed democracies, a retrospective economic vote in presidential elections was not observed in Ukraine; it turned out to be prospective instead with regard to the last (year 2019) presidential election. The authors presented a set of reasons which could explain such situation: lack of democratic experience, relying on heuristics and emotions, low public mood among the others. It has been demonstrated that Ukrainians’ political choice in 2019 has some consequences for the economy, which may contribute to the loss of a nation’s development guidelines for a certain period of time and subsequent social disappointment.
Turing instability and pattern formation of a fractional Hopfield reaction–diffusion neural network with transmission delay
Authors: Lin Jiazhe , Li Jiapeng , Xu Rui
Published: May 2022

It is well known that integer-order neural networks with diffusion have rich spatial and temporal dynamical behaviors, including Turing pattern and Hopf bifurcation. Recently, some studies indicate that fractional calculus can depict the memory and hereditary attributes of neural networks more accurately. In this paper, we mainly investigate the Turing pattern in a delayed reaction–diffusion neural network with Caputo-type fractional derivative. In particular, we find that this fractional neural network can form steadily spatial patterns even if its first-derivative counterpart cannot develop any steady pattern, which implies that temporal fractional derivative contributes to pattern formation. Numerical simulations show that both fractional derivative and time delay have influence on the shape of Turing patterns.
State-by-State Variability in Adolescent Privacy Laws

Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVES

Health care providers managing the complex health needs of adolescents must comply with state laws governing adolescent consent and right to privacy. However, these laws vary. Our objectives were to summarize consent and privacy laws state-by-state and assess the implications of variation for compliance with the 21st Century Cures Act and with evidence-based guidance on adolescent care.

METHODS

We summarized state laws and regulations on minor consent for the following: health services, substance abuse treatment, prenatal care, mental health care, contraceptive management, immunizations, sexually transmitted infection management, human immunodeficiency viruses testing and treatment, dental care, and sexual assault evaluation. We compared state laws and regulations with American Academy of Pediatrics’ evidence-based guidelines to assess consistencies in guidance.

RESULTS

We observed notable state-by-state variability in laws governing consent for adolescent patients. No states had identical policies for all services studied. For example, although all states had provisions for consent to management of sexually transmitted infections, there were variable specifications in the age and type of minor, whether this includes human immunodeficiency viruses, and whether confidentiality is protected. Providing confidential care to the adolescent patient has been set as a priority by medical societies; however, guidelines are limited by the need to comply with state laws and regulations.

CONCLUSIONS

State laws on consent and privacy for adolescents are highly variable, and many do not reflect pediatric professional standards of care. This inconsistency is a barrier to operationalizing a consistent and equitable experience providing evidence-based medical care and ensuring adolescent privacy protection.
La Niñez como clave para un mundo otro: Una lectura de Isaías 9,1-6
Authors: Ventura (Tirsa) María Cristina , Schiavo Luigi
Published: May 2022

El anhelo a un mundo diverso, de paz y justicia caracteriza a la humanidad desde su origen. Para construir algo diferente, un mundo otro, se hace necesaria una mirada distinta a la realidad, que supere el clásico dualismo opositor y clasificatorio, responsable de numerosos conflictos y sufrimientos. Así mismo, es necesaria una nueva ética, que asuma las diversidades como clave epistémica de la justicia y la paz. El texto de Isaías 9,1-6 ofrece, en la imagen del niño-rey, las claves de la superación de una realidad conflictiva y de la inauguración de un tiempo de paz y justicia. En este sentido, la metáfora del niño hace parte de una propuesta ética distinta que a la vez representa y expresa otro mundo al estilo del Reino de Dios (Mt. 19,14).
Protagonismo Infantil en La Biblia y algunas pistas para promoverlo hoy
Authors: Aguirre Rosa María Bravo
Published: May 2022

En las Escrituras encontramos diversos ejemplos donde se pone en relieve el protagonismo infantil, tema complejo y hasta paradójico cuando desde la mirada adulta pretendemos analizarlo y ofrecer propuestas. En un primer momento abordaremos cuatro casos bíblicos en los que la presencia, la voz y el actuar de niños y niñas marcaron escenas y provocaron cambios y reacciones en su entorno. En la segunda parte haremos énfasis en las condiciones necesarias para preparar y abonar el terreno que posibilite un protagonismo infantil más sensible y consciente desde la parte adulta, y más espontáneo, confiable y natural desde y para la propia niñez. Las reflexiones vertidas en este artículo parten de mi experiencia docente por más de 20 años con niños y niñas en edad preescolar principalmente, en el ámbito tanto secular como eclesial.
¿De cuál historia estoy hablando ahora? Aportes metodológicos para realizar un ejercicio hermenéutico con la Niñez: II Reyes 5:1-14
Authors: Avila Mailé Vázquez
Published: May 2022

El presente trabajo realiza un ejercicio hermenéutico (no sobre o para la niñez), sino con ésta como sujeto de lectura, lo que constituye un aporte al desarrollo de las hermenéuticas del genitivo en América Latina. Es un trabajo que requiere metodologías complementarias a las tradicionales, y más subjetivas: la narración oral, la pintura temática, la reescritura del texto bíblico. El ejercicio interpretativo conjuga el análisis crítico con las potencialidades que la niñez tiene para jugar, soñar y construir nuevas realidades. El resultado del empleo de una metodología diversa tributa a un modo más holístico de pensar y vivir la fe, que a la vez des-legitima la superioridad del adulto.

Las Niñas y Niños como parte de Los Anawim, son hermeneutas vivenciales del Reino
Authors: Cussianovich Alejandro
Published: May 2022

El artículo entreteje una reflexión bíblico-teológica para recuperar diversos momentos y personajes que animan la apuesta por prácticas relacionales que den sentido a la realidad de la niñez en nuestros contexto empobrecido y vulnerabilizado. Partiendo de los anawim, se recuerda a un “pequeño resto” que constituye el núcleo dentro de los anawim, portador de las virtudes que encarnan las características del tiempo que se cumple lo anunciado por Isaías: «Es el Señor mismo que les dará un signo. Es decir, una jovencita está ya encinta y dará a luz un hijo que se llamará Enmanuel”. Al recordar a los niños y niñas como anawim, emerge la conciencia de los aprendizajes, traumas, tiempos y cuerpos entre los que se apropian de la identidad del pueblo de Dios.
Jesús y Los Niños en El Evangelio de Mateo: Una mirada a la Niñez desde Los Derechos Humanos. Ejercicio Hermenéutico
Authors: Mayagoitia Karen Castillo
Published: May 2022

Releer los textos bíblicos a través de herramientas de análisis que nos permitan una mirada diferente, capaz de confrontar con la realidad actual, representa la posibilidad de nuevos encuentros con el Evangelio como mensaje liberador. En este artículo los aportes de la hermenéutica feminista favorecen una conexión entre el texto y contexto de la comunidad mateana con el actual contexto, desde los retos que los derechos de la niñez suponen a las iglesias y a la sociedad. La relación de Jesús y los niños se enmarca con otros dos grupos vulnerados: las mujeres y los eunucos; llevándonos a descubrir que nuestra respuesta ante la fragilidad es una forma de encuentro.
Descubriendo a Rode: ¿Esclavitud Infantil en Las Primeras Comunidades Cristianas? Hechos 12:12-16
Authors: López Rebeca Montemayor
Published: May 2022

Desde una realidad del trabajo doméstico de niñas en América Latina, en este artículo se realiza una exploración a la narrativa e itinerancia textual de Rode en Los Hechos (12:12-16); Rode ¿niña, adolescente, joven? ¿sirvienta, esclava? en casa de una familia de las primeras comunidades cristianas. Del movimiento de Jesús a la vida de las casas-iglesias bajo el imperio. Del estatus del texto en el contexto y en la investigación bíblica. En un trabajo exploratorio, desde la hermenéutica de la sospecha, se elabora una biografía o historia de vida de Rode. Es posible subvertir el orden y transitar de lecturas androcéntricas, patriarcales y excluyentes, hacia lecturas que invitan a crear, imaginar y reconstruir hermenéuticas liberadoras. A la par, se establece una conexión con los derechos para las niñas y jóvenes en situaciones de vulnerabilidad y explotación. Y todo esto viene de Rode. Un desafío urgente al compromiso de las comunidades cristianas de hoy.
A pathological role of the Hsp40 protein Ydj1/DnaJA1 in models of Alzheimer’s disease

Published: May 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia with millions of people affected worldwide. Pathophysiological manifestations of AD include the extracellular accumulation of amyloid beta (Abeta) pep-tides, products of the proteolytic cleavage of the amy-loid precursor protein APP. Increasing evidence sug-gests that Abeta peptides also accumulate intracellular-ly, triggering neurotoxic events such as mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the molecular factors driving formation and toxicity of intracellular Abeta are poorly understood. In our recent study [EMBO Mol Med 2022 – e13952], we used different eukaryotic model systems to identify such factors. Based on a genetic screen in yeast and subsequent molecular analyses, we found that both the yeast chaperone Ydj1 and its human ortholog DnaJA1 physically interact with Abeta, facili-tate the aggregation of Abeta peptides into small oli-gomers and promote their translocation to mitochon-dria. Deletion or downregulation of this chaperone pro-tected from Abeta-mediated toxicity in yeast and Dro-sophila AD models, respectively. Most importantly, the identified chaperone is found to be dysregulated in post-mortem human samples of AD patients. Here, we aim to outline our key findings, highlighting pathological functions of a heat shock protein (Hsp) family member, which are generally considered protective rather than toxic during neurodegeneration. Our results thus chal-lenge the concept of developing generalized chaperone activation-based therapies and call for carefully consid-ering also maladaptive functions of specific heat shock proteins.

Published: May 2022

This study aims to evaluate national variation in depression prevalence and in different sociodemographic groups, health behaviors, and macroregions of Brazil from 2013 to 2019. Data were obtained from two nationwide Brazilian surveys - Brazilian National Health Survey 2013 and 2019. Participants aged 18 years or older were included, totaling 60,202 individuals in 2013 and 88,531 in 2019. Depression was evaluated with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). All estimations accounted for the population weights and the complex sampling. The findings showed that during the six years between the two surveys, the prevalence of depression in Brazil increased by 36.7%, going from 7.9% in 2013 to 10.8% in 2019, and this increase is higher among unemployed young adults, aged 18 to 24 years, with the increase in the prevalence of depression almost tripled (3.7 in 2013 and 10.3 in 2019), an increase of 178.4%. Those dwelling in urban areas had a higher increase in the prevalence of depression in the six-year period (39.8%) when compared to residents in rural areas (20.2%). There was an increase in the prevalence of depression from 2013 to 2019 for the worst categories of the three health behaviors included in the study for both men and women: heavy drinking, smoking, and not exercising the recommended level of physical activity. Our results show a significant increase in the prevalence of depression over the six years between the two surveys, mainly among the younger and unemployed men. The country’s economic recession during this period may explain these findings.
Gender, work-family conflict, and weight gain: four-year follow-up of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil)

Published: May 2022

This study sought to analyze the effect of work-to-family conflict (demands from work that affect one’s family/personal life), family-to-work conflict (demands from family/personal life that affect work), and lack of time for self-care and leisure due to professional and domestic demands on the incidence of weight gain and increase in waist circumference by gender in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Our study included 9,159 ELSA-Brasil participants (4,413 men and 4,746 women) who attended baseline (2008-2010) and the first follow-up visit (2012-2014). Weight gain and increase in waist circumference were defined as an annual increase ≥ 75th percentile, i.e., ≥ 1.21kg/year and ≥ 1.75cm/year, respectively for women; and ≥ 0.96kg/year and ≥ 1.41cm/year respectively for men. Associations were estimated by Poisson regression applying robust variance with the R software. Analyses were stratified by gender and adjusted for socioeconomic variables. Adjusted models showed a higher risk of weight gain among women who reported family-to-work conflict frequently and sometimes (relative risk - RR = 1.37 and RR = 1.15, respectively) and among those who reported frequent lack of time for self-care and leisure (RR = 1.13). Among men, time-based work-to-family conflict (RR = 1.17) and strain-based work-to-family conflict (RR = 1.24) were associated with weight gain. No associations were observed between work-family conflict domains and increase in waist circumference. These findings suggest that occupational and social health promotion programs are essential to help workers balance work and family life to reduce weight gain.
Cooking autonomy: a multilevel conceptual model on healthy home cooking
Authors: Oliveira Mariana Fernandes Brito de , Castro Inês Rugani Ribeiro de
Published: May 2022

The empowerment of home cooking has been recently approached in the literature as pertaining to cooking skills and the capacity to overcome social, physical, and economic obstacles. However, thus far no studies have related the State’s role in this important health-promoting home practice, namely healthy cooking. We aim to elaborate on the concept and develop a multilevel conceptual model of cooking autonomy (CMCA) in order to relate the State’s role in healthy home cooking. This is a theoretical-conceptual study consisting of three phases: conceptual elaboration, expert panel consultation, and content validity of the CMCA developed in this study. A comprehensive literature review worked as the theoretical and conceptual basis, featuring Amartya Sen’s human capability approach. A total of 28 experts issued their opinions in listening workshops and interviews. Cooking autonomy was defined as the capacity to think, to decide, and to act to prepare meals from scratch, influenced by interpersonal relations, environment, cultural values, access to opportunities, and guarantee of rights. The CMCA has six levels, differing according to the degree of participation of an individual. We also present two charts with examples of the agent’s practices and actions that can be developed by the State in the public policy sphere. As a pioneering model in the international literature, the CMCA provides the conceptual basis for the development of studies and interventions on cooking autonomy, focusing not only on individual skills, but also on the role of public policies for healthy home cooking.

Este estudo objetivou analisar os fatores sociodemográficos e reprodutivos associados ao acolhimento ao parto em estabelecimentos de saúde vinculados à Rede Cegonha no Brasil, na perspectiva das usuárias. Foram selecionados 606 serviços com amostra de 10.540 puérperas. O desfecho foi a variável latente acolhimento da puérpera, composta por cinco indicadores: apresentação dos profissionais com nome e função, chamar a gestante pelo nome, compreensão das informações dadas, se sentir bem tratada e respeitada e ter as necessidades respondidas pela equipe. As variáveis explicativas foram: idade, escolaridade, cor da pele, situação conjugal, tipo de parto, paridade e peregrinação. Foi utilizada modelagem de equações estruturais. Observaram-se maiores percentuais de mulheres com idade de 20 a 34 anos (68,31%), que se autodeclararam como pardas (56,3%), com escolaridade entre 9 e 11 anos de estudo (56,1%) e que tinham companheiro (78,8%). Houve predominância de puérperas que tiveram parto vaginal (56,6%), com um a dois filhos (46%) e que relataram não peregrinar (91,9%). Apresentaram efeito direto positivo sobre o acolhimento mulheres com maior idade (CP = 0,094; p < 0,001) e maior escolaridade (CP = 0,096; p < 0,001). O parto cesáreo apresentou efeito direto negativo (CP = -0,059; p < 0,002) e cor da pele preta e parda apresentou efeitos direto e indireto negativos (CP = -0,081; p < 0,001 e CP = -0,014; p < 0,001). Puérpera com maior idade, maior escolaridade e que tiveram parto vaginal tiveram percepção mais positiva do acolhimento nos serviços de saúde.

ABSTRACT: Photoassimilate partition and allocation among plant organs varies throughout their development and is also influenced by factors inherent to the genotype and the environment. Nodulation in the soybean-diazotrophic bacteria interaction is more effective than in the bean-diazotrophic bacteria interaction. This investigation studied growth and photoassimilate partitioning throughout the bean and soybean cycles and inferred how much it could affect the nodulation of the roots. For this purpose, an experiment with two treatments was carried out, soybean (cultivar BRS GO - 7760 - RR) and bean (cultivar BRS Estilo), with four replications, conducted in pots and entirely randomized. The seeds were inoculated with commercial rhizobia specific for bean and soybean LeguMax® (Novozymes-Turfal). Plants were analyzed throughout their cycles based on leaf area and dry mass of all organs, including nodules. Mathematical models were fitted to the data and based on them, the instantaneous physiological indicators of growth were estimated, and the percentages of photoassimilate partition among organs were evaluated. Crop growth rate, relative growth rates, net assimilation rate as well as net photosynthesis rate had higher values in soybean compared to bean, following the pattern of leaf area and total dry mass. For both species, the highest rates occurred at the beginning of the cycle, decreasing with age. Unlike the bean, soybean has a high capacity to supply photosynthates to all of its organs throughout its entire cycle, favoring the maintenance of nodule growth and explaining its greater capacity for nitrogen assimilation.

ABSTRACT: Teratomas rarely occur in domestic species, especially in cattle. These tumors originate in fetal life and are characterized by rapid growth, which justifies their frequent detection in young animals. This study reported a case of ovarian teratoma in a heifer. On physical examination, the main signs identified were apathy, abdominal distention and tension, empty rumen, and mushy diarrhea. During rectal palpation, a mass was identified in the pelvic region, which was suggestive of cysts on ultrasound examination. The animal underwent laparotomy, followed by euthanasia due to a poor prognosis. At necropsy, a 54 x 43 x 52 cm (length x width x thickness) tumor was observed in the right ovary with multiple cystic areas, in addition to masses associated with multiple adhesions of the intestinal loops and peritonitis. On histopathology, muscle, cartilage, bone, nervous and epithelial tissue, glands, hair with follicles, were identified in the affected ovary. There was mixed inflammation and foci of necrosis observed with a complete absence of ovarian architecture in both the ovaries. Infiltrations were identified in the lymph nodes and mesenteric vessels. Glandular ducts were seen from the serosa to the intestinal mucosa. A locally infiltrative and expansile ovarian teratoma was diagnosed accordingly. It is considered that this kind of tumor can induce abdominal distension and absence of estrus in previously healthy, non-pregnant heifers.

RESUMO O processo de escalabilidade da inovação social ocorre quando ela busca aumentar o seu impacto social em relação aos seus usuários ou alcançar mais beneficiários. Tendo em vista a importância do tema e sua pouca exploração por artigos científicos com casos empíricos, o presente estudo busca verificar como ocorre o processo de escalabilidade da inovação social, descrevendo os elementos que dificultam e os que auxiliam esse processo usando como base o modelo proposto por Morais-da-Silva, Takahashi e Segatto (2016). Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa no Banco Palmas, primeiro banco comunitário do Brasil. Como resultado, foi possível observar que além dos fatores destacados pelo modelo utilizado, os canais de comunicação de mídia tiveram um papel fundamental da difusão da inovação social. Além disso, as experiências do líder e da própria organização em relação aos negócios tradicionais não foram observadas. Ademais, melhor do que receber recursos de fontes filantrópicas seria se a Inovação Social conseguisse ser independente financeiramente. Entre as contribuições práticas, são fornecidos elementos que os gestores que desejam aumentar o impacto de sua inovação social devem analisar para planejar suas ações.

Authors: Zhou Jianwei
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: This paper explores whether the use of aquatic relaxation methods can effectively eliminate fatigue after high-intensity load training. Methods: Twenty athletes were invited to participate in the experimental aquatic relaxation-based test after a battery of strenuous exercise. The following markers were analyzed: blood urea, blood testosterone, hemoglobin, and cortisol. The data were collected before training, 30 minutes after the exercises, and the next day. Results: Sensible changes in the markers were observed. The fatigue manifested by sports training is closely related to several factors, such as sports training load, cardiac function, oxygen consumption, and metabolite accumulation. Conclusions: Aquatic relaxation can effectively relieve fatigue in athletes. Although there is a positive effect, traditional means should not be substituted. It is suggested that the coach combine relaxation methods according to each athlete's preference. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

ABSTRACT Objective: Use the deep learning network model to identify key content in videos. Methodology: After reviewing the literature on computer vision, the feature extraction of the target video from the network using deep learning with the time-series data enhancement method was performed. The preprocessing method for data augmentation and Spatio-temporal feature extraction on the video based on LI3D network was explained. Accuracy rate, precision, and recall were used as indices. Results: The three indicators increased from 0.85, 0.88, and 0.84 to 0.89, 0.90, and 0.88, respectively. This shows that the LI3D network model maintains a high recall rate accompanied by high accuracy after data augmentation. The accuracy and loss function curves of the training phase show that the accuracy of the network is greatly improved compared to I3D. Conclusion: The experiment proves that the LI3D model is more stable and has faster convergence. By comparing the accuracy curve and loss function curve during LI3D, LI3D-LSTM, and LI3D-BiLSTM training, it is found that the LI3D-BiLSTM model converges faster.

ABSTRACT Objective: In the competition of athletic training, it is imperative to use various physiological and biochemical indicators to study the changes they can bear. Methods: In this paper, national tennis players’ physiological and biochemical indicators are taken as samples, and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in data mining algorithm is used to classify and predict the sample data. Based on this, to solve the BP neural network's failure in easily falling into a local minimum, the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm was introduced to train the changes in the neural network. Finally, the improved BP neural network technology of the ant colony optimization algorithm is used in the model to analyze the physiological changes in tennis players. Results: The research results show that the model successfully predicted the physiological change in athletes and could provide coaches with a basis for decision-making. Conclusions: The physiological change in athletes is combined with the neural network algorithm to establish a connection between the two, which provides an effective and reliable method for detecting the physical function of sports transportation with unique guidance in athletes’ training and competition.

COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT SPORTS TRAINING METHODS ON MUSCLE PLASTICITY
Authors: Xue Haitao
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: Different loads and volumes in resistance training is the most effective way to muscle hypertrophy stimulation in rehabilitation. Adding different stability planes to balance training will increase the intensity of muscle activation, causing an enhanced exercise load. It is theorized that unstable stimuli in the support environment increased central excitability, improving the ability to mobilize muscle fiber contraction. However, the intensity of this relationship is not clarified. Objective: Investigate how to balance exercise training improves CORE muscle plasticity and the central nervous system. Methods: A total of 36 undergraduate and graduate students were recruited to participate in this experiment. Two movements with bridge exercise were selected for maximal muscle endurance testing. Electromyographic data of the CORE muscles were captured and compared at all execution phases. Results: There was no interaction between the stabilization plane and cognitive tasks. The main effects of the low bridge and high bridge movements on erector spinae muscle activation were 28.88 and 2.06. The main effects of cognitive tasks were 0.33 and 7.88, and the interaction effect was 0.89 0.31. Conclusion: Exercise training can increase capillaries in muscles, increase the cross-sectional area of myofibrils, change the proportion of different types of myofibrils, and increase muscle strength.
