Evaluation of the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of extracts obtained from four agro-industrial residues after different pretreatments
Authors: Casas-Godoy Leticia , Barrera-Martínez Iliana
Published: September 2022

Agro-industrial wastes are not of interest to the industry that generated them; however, they can be used for the extraction of high value-added compounds. Compounds with antimicrobial and antioxidant activity can be recovered from residues generated by different industries. Jalisco is a large agri-food producer therefore resides generated by established or growing industries in the state were selected. However, the extraction of the compounds of interest from residues cannot be carried out directly, they must be subjected to different treatments that break the matrices to release the components of interest and increase the extraction yield. In this study, aqueous, enzymatic, chemical-enzymatic and ethanolic extractions were used to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial capacity of the extracts. As residues, agave bagasse and brewers spent grain were evaluated, as well as blackberry and raspberry, both showing the first stages of spoilage. For the evaluation of antioxidant capacity ABTS and DPPH techniques were used. The antimicrobial capacity was evaluated by observing the inhibition halo caused by the extracts, and the inhibition percentage using different concentrations of the extracts, with three Gram-positive bacteria, three Gram-negative bacteria and three yeasts. The techniques used for the recovery of compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity were adequate, and it was possible to observe differences between pretreatments for the different residues. It should be mentioned that inhibition was observed in the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using low concentrations (10% of extracts).

Published: September 2022

Currently, the demand for carotenoid pigments of natural origin has increased due to their diverse application in the industry. One of the natural sources of these compounds are microalgae, which are photosynthetic organisms of high biotechnological value. The production of carotenoid pigments from microalgal cultures are in the scope of sustainability but faces the challenge of optimizing the design and operation of new technologies; biomass production is first maximized and subsequently subjected to stress to induce the synthesis and accumulation of this type of pigments. In this context, the design and scaling of photobioreactors (FBRs) for the cultivation of microalgae is crucial for this type of process. The main objective of the present research work is focused on the application of a new experimental methodology to estimate the radiative characteristics of a microalgae quickly and independently in suspension. Strain Chlorella vulgaris UTEX 2714 (shows high growth rates and accumulate carotenoids such as canthaxanthin and astaxanthin) was used as sample. Extinction coefficient (β), albedo (ω) and asymmetry parameter (g) of the phase function (Φ) were estimated. These parameters define the solution of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) and they are fundamental to characterize the effect of microalgae on radiative transport within any FBR. Both β, and ωwere estimated at different concentrations of microalgae in suspension and were independent of the biomass concentration under the experimental conditions. This study suggests that Φ of Chlorella vulgaris UTEX 2714 can be described using the Henyey-Greenstein model. The radiative characterization of the microalgae was achieved, which is essential for the description of the radiative transport within a FBR and the development of better kinetic models for the scaling of this type of bioprocess.

Published: September 2022

The ray-tracing method is commonly used for solar concentrator analysis. The simulation process consists of an initialization phase where all the input parameters are defined, followed by a simulation cycle that runs through all time instants to later move on to the final evaluation phase. The proposed method includes computational simulation, carrying out a study of the impact of two specific variables: (1) the distribution ratio of the heliostats given a fixed area and (2) the position of the target. The first being the ratio m:n that corresponds to the arrangement and distribution of the mirrors throughout the available area, where m represents the distance of the field along the East-West axis and n represents the distance of the field along the North-South axis. On the other hand, the target is placed on the northern edge of the heliostat field and only depends on its position on the East-West axis. The main interest is to determine where more energy is harvest by the heliostat field. It was shown through simulation in TracePro and results from processing in Matlab, that, for a location in Monterrey, NL, Mexico (25° N, 100° W) with an area of 75 m², an average of 100 kWh of energy can be harvest per day throughout the year with 72 mirrors of half a square meter each. This simulation was carried out using real direct radiation data.

Authors: Griffin Robert A.
Published: September 2022

This qualitative study explored reading motivation among high school English learners whose first language was Spanish. Latinx English learners (N = 87) from two southeastern, suburban school districts took part in the first stage of the research. The researcher utilized subscores for self-concept as a reader and value of reading from a recognized reading motivation survey instrument along with reading subscores on a nationally recognized standardized language assessment to identify students who could be presumed to be less-motivated readers (n = 14) for interview selection. Responses from six randomly selected interviewees from this less-motivated pool of participants demonstrated that they faced numerous obstacles toward becoming proficient readers, including challenging home environments and debilitating anxieties. Overall, a series of complex factors were shown to inhibit reading motivation. Implications and practical recommendations for educators are discussed.
A Balanced Approach to Literacy Instruction and Support for Diverse Learners
Authors: Mondesir Bonnie , Griffin Robert A.
Published: September 2022

In this article, the authors explore various theories to inform educators and educational leaders who are looking for ways to better meet the literacy needs of all of their diverse students, including striving readers, culturally and linguistically diverse readers, and proficient and excelling readers. They call on educators to embrace a balanced approach that is informed by multiple bottom-up and top-down theories to better meet the needs of all their students. Focus is first given to Gough’s and LaBerge and Samuels’ information processing models (bottom-up models) followed by the psycholinguistic, schema, and transactional reader response top-down theories. Discussion of both the bottom-up and top-down theoretical approaches includes background information on notable theorists and explanations of specific theories that are instrumental in enriching the teaching of reading in a variety of classroom settings to a variety of students. Literature relevant to these theories is reviewed, and practical classroom implications of implementing these theories are explored to provide educators with hands-on tools and suggestions they can use to improve and enrich literacy instruction for all their students. Finally, a case is made for why educators should call upon multiple theories when making instructional decisions.

Published: September 2022

With reading proficiently by the end of third grade as a common goal, many school districts are exploring options to enhance early reading instruction. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the supplemental, computer-assisted reading program i-Ready would significantly affect first grade students’ reading achievement. Participants (n=159) were first graders at two elementary schools - treatment (n= 82) and comparison n= 77). An independent samples t-test was used to compare the mid-year reading achievement scores of the treatment and comparison groups and found no statistically significant differences between groups. Following 10 weeks of twice-weekly 45-minute sessions of i-Ready reading instruction for the treatment group, an independent samples t-test showed that no statistically significant differences in reading achievement existed between the treatment and comparison groups. Several possibilities for this finding are discussed.

Authors: Helf Shawnna , Yearta Lindsay , Ming Kavin
Published: September 2022

Phonological awareness encompasses three main subsets of skills: awareness of words, syllables, and sounds. These three skills work in concert to support students’ reading development. By purposefully utilizing time in the classroom, teachers can embed phonological awareness activities during common transitions, thus maximizing students’ exposure to early literacy skills. Through these deliberately planned activities, teachers can not only provide effective instruction, but they can ensure that throughout the school day, transitions run smoothly with fewer disruptions and off-task behaviors.

Published: September 2022

Amaranthus cruentus L. is a leafy vegetable commonly grown in Nigeria and other West Africancountries. Due to its high demand and abundance of poultry manure, farmers abuse the usage ofpoultry manure thereby causing soil nutrient imbalance and associated animal and human healthrisks, as well as surface water and groundwater contamination. This study investigated thegrowth performance, yields, and nutritional quality of Amaranthus cruentus under differentconcentration of poultry manure. Four different concentrations were used as treatments including5, 10, 15, and 20 kg/plot, while plot without the application of poultry manure served as thecontrol. It was observed that the growth parameters, such as plant height, stem girth, number ofleaves and leaf area of plants have significantly affected by the increase in the concentration ofthe poultry manure. Optimum growth and significant improvement in the proximate compositionsuch as ash and moisture content, fat, crude protein and fiber was achieved in poultry manureconcentration of 15 kg/plot relative to the other treatments. Further increase of the poultrymanure to the concentration of 20 kg/plot even though increase the growth performance, butlowered the available carbohydrate and total energy. Hence, the research recommended forfarmers the use of 15 kg/plot of poultry manure for an enhanced/higher growth of A. cruentus.Keywords: Amaranthus cruentus, growth performance, Nutritional composition, PoultryDroppings
Social Business Contribution of Grameen Bank Muhammad Yunus in The Development of Poverty Reduction Discourse in Indonesia
Authors: Diah Faza Amarta Risna
Published: September 2022

This study aims to answer the following question: What role does the Grameen Bank Muhammad Yunus social company play in the development of Indonesia's poverty reduction discourse? This issue is examined utilizing a meta-synthesis method and a systematic literature review employing SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis) techniques. The data was collected using the Publish or Perish (PoP) tool from Google Sholar's online database between 2000 and 2002. There were 55 articles linked to the social business Grameen bank Muhammad Yunus in Indonesia that were discovered using the keywords available. Only 23 articles are truly relevant to the topic of research on the social business of Grameen bank Muhammad Yunus in Indonesia after going through the article screening step. This research reveals that there has been a lot of discussion in Indonesia concerning Grameen Bank Yunus' social enterprise from diverse perspectives. Researchers have proposed two distinct tendencies. For starters, it is frequently used optimistically. The social business model Grameen bank used in Indonesia can eliminate poverty, according to 91 percent of the 23 papers. Second, it has a gloomy bent. Two MSMEs out of the 23 in this study failed to apply the Grameen Bank social business model. Furthermore, the Grameen Bank Yunus social business model faced criticism, one of which was that it did not follow Islamic shari'ah in practice. Specifically, according to certain Islamic philosophers, adopting an interest-based structure. Specifically, according to certain Islamic scholars, adopting an interesting system that includes riba is practicing usury legislation, which is haram. Nonetheless, the bulk of research findings indicates that Grameen Bank Yunus' social business model has the potential to be employed as one of the options for alleviating poverty in Indonesia.

Digital Freedom –Opening up the Debate
Authors: Fischli Roberta , Beschorner Thomas
Published: September 2022

This paper contributes to the normative analysis of digital technologies and data-driven practices by broadening the analytical perspective on freedom. Many contemporary discussions of the digital context tend to operate with a relatively narrow conception of freedom, which centers on the absence of interference. While this approach is in line with liberalism’s on-going paradigmatic standing in much of the Western world, we argue that digital theorists have much to gain from opening their discussions to social and positive conceptions of freedom. Drawing on the work of Axel Honneth and John Christman, we show how such a change in perspective gives rise to new considerations for freedom in the digital context, such as collective self-determination, capabilities, and mutual recogni- tion. Building on these ideas, we sketch three demands that follow from such an inclusive conception of freedom: empowering people via new forms of political participation, increasing diversity and collective awareness in the digital industry, as well as using progressive political regulation to unleash digital technology’s social potential.

Authors: Pan Fang , Wang Ying Xue , Xie Juan , Liu Yan Xiao , He Xin
Published: September 2022

Background: This study was carried out to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of pre-exchange transfusion (pre-ET) albumin infusion on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: A comprehensive search of relevant studies from EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wei Pu Information, Wan Fang Data, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database was conducted from inception to December 2021. Two different authors screened the titles, abstracts, and full texts of the articles. The quality of the included trials was assessed independently by two different authors according to the Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias. The data were analyzed and compiled using Review Manager software (RevMan version 5.3). Results: In total, four studies enrolling 195 neonates were included in this review. The quality of the included studies was deemed fair to good. The meta-analysis showed that pre-ET albumin infusion was superior to exchange transfusion (ET) alone for reducing the need for repeating ET (risk ratio (RR) = 0.25, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.09 - 0.72, I-squared (I2) = 8%; fixed effects model) and shortening the duration of phototherapy (PT) (mean difference (MD) = -11.46 hours, 95% CI: -16.56 to -6.36, I2 = 93%; random effects model (REM)). No significant differences were detected between the two groups for post-ET total serum bilirubin (TSB) at 6 hours (MD = -3.51 mg/dL, 95% CI: -7.93 - 0.93, I2 = 97%; REM) and 12 hours (MD = -4.21 mg/dL, 95% CI: -9.08 - 0.65, I2 = 99%; REM). None of the patients developed acute bilirubin encephalopathy in any of the trials. No death prior to hospital discharge was reported in any trials, and no adverse effects were observed in intervention groups. Conclusions: Based on four studied trials, pre-ET albumin infusion appears to be safe and effective in reducing the need for repeating ET and shortening PT duration. These potential benefits, including the reduction of post-ET TSB, need to be revalidated in future trials using rigorous methodology.

Por uma retórica antirracista: a inclusão de negros e negras pelas agências de publicidade de São Paulo.
Authors: Vasconcelos Lima Bruno
Published: September 2022

Com a popularização das mídias digitais, as críticas contra os modos de ser excludentes e estereotipados promovidos por diversas publicidades tornaram-se mais frequentes, atingindo a imagem institucional de algumas corporações. Nesse contexto, além da concorrência pelas verbas publicitárias que hoje são compartilhadas com outros atores estratégicos para a promoção das marcas, a falta de identificação do público com a comunicação veiculada tem afetado a credibilidade das agências diante dos anunciantes. Num cenário no qual as ações de responsabilidade social corporativa se mostram fundamentais para os negócios, algumas agências de São Paulo, que estão entre as maiores do Brasil, têm implementado iniciativas para inclusão de negros e negras em seus quadros como uma forma de agregar novas visões de mundo aos processos produtivos dos anúncios e, assim, se adequar às atuais exigências mercadológicas demandadas pelos anunciantes. Neste artigo, analisamos o contexto socioeconômico no qual se dão tais iniciativas de inclusão em que pautas sociais, como o antirracismo, têm se mostrado importantes para conquistar a estima dos consumidores e para a atraí-los ao universo simbólico proposto pelas marcas.

Background/Aims: Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) International Colorectal Endoscopic (NICE) and Workgroup Serrated Polyps and Polyposis (WASP) classifications were developed for optical diagnosis of neoplastic and sessile serrated polyps, respectively. Near-focus NBI with NICE combined with WASP criteria for optical diagnosis of colonic polyps has not yet been evaluated. We aimed to compare the accuracy of near-focus NBI (group A) with normal-focus NBI (group B) in real-time optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps using combined NICE and WASP criteria.Methods: Among 362 patients, 118 with 227 polyps were recruited. Groups A and B included 62 patients with 130 polyps (three lost polyps) and 56 patients with 106 polyps (six lost polyps), respectively. Optical diagnoses were compared with pathological reports. Results: The accuracy of optical diagnosis of neoplastic polyps in groups A and B was not significantly different (76% vs. 71%, p=0.52). WASP criteria provided all false positive diagnoses of sessile polyps as serrated polyps in 31 (16.2%) patients.Conclusions: Near-focus NBI was not superior to normal-focus NBI in optical diagnostics of neoplastic polyps using NICE criteria. In our study, WASP classification yielded all false positives in the diagnosis of sessile serrated adenomas/polyps. Routine real-life optical diagnosis of polyps is still unadvisable.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer in the United States, with less than half of patients living >5 years following diagnosis. The NCCN Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer provide recommendations for the diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up for patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers. These NCCN Guidelines Insights summarize the panel discussion behind recent important updates to the guidelines, including revised guidance on alternative chemotherapy regimens for patients with advanced age and/or comorbidities, a new algorithm for recurrent low-grade serous carcinoma based on developing research and novel therapeutic agents, and updated language regarding tumor molecular analysis applications in ovarian cancer.
Fecal Immunochemical Testing in Patients With Low-Risk Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study
Authors: Ball Alex J. , Aziz Imran , Parker Sophie , Sargur Ravishankar B. , Aldis Jonathan , Kurien Matthew
Published: September 2022

Background:The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is recommended for triaging primary care patients in England with low-risk symptoms of colorectal cancer (CRC). The evidence underpinning recommendations by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence had limitations, with a paucity of primary care evidence. This study examines the diagnostic accuracy of FIT in a defined low-risk symptom primary care population.Patients and Methods:Consecutive symptomatic adult patients referred for a FIT between October and December 2019 were included. Patients were derived from 225 primary care practices in England. Serious colorectal diseases (CRC, high-risk polyps, and inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]) were identified through patient follow-up over 18 months, using both primary and secondary healthcare records. Performance characteristics of FIT are reported according to differing thresholds, including the currently recommended threshold of ≥10 μg hemoglobin per gram of feces (μg/g).Results:A total of 3,506 patients were included in the final analysis. Of these, 708 had a positive FIT result (≥10 μg/g). The prevalence of CRC was 1.3%. FIT positivity declined from 20.2% to 5.8% and 4.5% at cutoffs of 10, 80, and 120 μg/g, respectively. The sensitivity of FIT at ≥10 μg/g to detect CRC was 91.1% (95% CI, 77.9%–97.1%); its specificity was 80.7% (95% CI, 79.3%–82.0%); the positive predictive value (PPV) was 5.8% (95% CI, 4.2%–7.8%); and the negative predictive value (NPV) was 99.9% (95% CI, 99.6%–99.95%). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.93 (0.91–0.96). PPV and specificity increased, whereas sensitivity and NPV decreased when serious colorectal diseases (CRC, high-risk polyps, and IBD) were combined. Age, sex, socioeconomic deprivation, and anemia did not significantly influence FIT sensitivity on subgroup analysis.Conclusions:Utilization of FIT at a threshold ≥10 μg/g can safely triage patients with low-risk symptoms in primary care, with negative results effectively ruling out CRC.

Baba Is You: Doing Things With Words
Authors: Silva Campos Simone
Published: September 2022

Baba Is You is a 2D electronic game in which the player-controlled character pushes

word-blocks around in order to build sentences, which make up the rules governing the

simulated environment. With Baba Is You as the case in point, we bring up parallels between

video games and Wolfgang Iser’s reader-response theory, J.L. Austin’s pragmatics, and

Gregory Bateson’s levels of learning. By considering self-reference paradoxes,

metalanguage, and the map-territory distinction, Baba Is You becomes an intuitive

philosophic playground by enticing players to question not only language and its uses, but

some general conceptions about not just video games, but life itself.

Један од најбољих показатеља у каквом стању је однос тежине и висине јесте индекс телесне масе или пак BMI (Body mass index). На узорку од 50 испитаника, дечака узраста 10 година, који у тренутку испитивања похађају 4. разред ОШ „Петар Враголић“ у Љубовији, извршено је мерење телесне висине и телесне тежине. Резултати које смо добили показују нам да 75% испитаника спада у групу са здравом нормалном телесном тежином. Њих 8% је неухрањено, 16% има одређени степен ризика од гојазности, док је само 1% дечака сврстано у категорију гојазних.

Настава природе и друштва, због обухвата више научних дисциплина, сама по себи пружа могућност реализовања наставе у бројним објектима рада у аутентичном амбијенталном окружењу. У теоријском делу анализирани су објекти рада и представљене њихове могућности за реализацију наставе природе и друштва уз сагледавање позитивних ефекта на ученике. Циљ истраживања усмерен је на компаративну аланлизу заступљености реализације наставе природе и друштва у амбијенталном окружењу (природном и друштвеном) у сеоским и градским школама и могућност њихове примене. Истраживањем проведеним у школској 2020/2021 год. на територији градова Бијељине и Зворника, обухваћен је узорак од 100 просветних радника који изводе наставу у млађим разредима основне школе. Резултати истраживања показују недовољну заступљеност природних и друштвених објеката рада у настави природе и друштва у односу на програмске могућности, те да је одабир објеката рада у амбијенталном окружењу условљен средином у којој се школа налази. Међутим, већина анкетираних просветних радника мишљења је да реализација наставе природе и друштва у неком од објеката из амбијенталног окружења доприноси квалитетнијем и трајнијем усвајању знања код ученика. Због тога истичемо значај и важност разноврсних амбијената у природној и друштвеној средини, прилагођених захтевима, циљевима, задацима и исходима програмских садржаја наставе природе и друштва.

PaleoDNA testing is becoming one of the most complex areas of modern biotechnology. Modern technologies make it possible to qualitatively extract DNA and test it by various methods, including the determination of the Y-chromosome haplogroup and mitochondrial DNA. The paper describes the results of determining the Y-DNA haplogroups of two ancient burial sites of the XII-XIV centuries from the middle course of the Klyazma. The data obtained make it possible to determine the Y-haplogroup by the markers identified in the study. The article describes the technology using bioinformatics methods and the result obtained, which with high probability determines the Y-haplogroups R1a-M458-L1029 and I1-Z58. This work summarizes the initial stage of research undertaken in 2019-2020. The first evidence of the presence of R1a-M458 and I1-Z58 among the Klyazma population of Northeastern Russia in the XII-XIV centuries not only supports the point of view of the presence of Y-haplogroup R1a for all medieval Russian lands (inhabited by descendants of Eastern Slavs), but also hints that a certain genetic unity with the western parts of the area of the Slavs may exist (since the most serious concentrations of R1a-M458 and I1-Z58 are observed in the western part of the Slavic area).
Low and high frequency intracranial neural signals match in the human associative cortex

Published: September 2022

In vivo intracranial recordings of neural activity offer a unique opportunity to understand human brain function. Intracranial electrophysiological (iEEG) activity related to sensory, cognitive or motor events manifests mostly in two types of signals: event-related local field potentials in lower frequency bands (<30 Hz, LF) and broadband activity in the higher end of the frequency spectrum (>30 Hz, High frequency, HF). While most current studies rely exclusively on HF, thought to be more focal and closely related to spiking activity, the relationship between HF and LF signals is unclear, especially in human associative cortex. Here, we provide a large-scale in-depth investigation of the spatial and functional relationship between these 2 signals based on intracranial recordings from 121 individual brains (8000 recording sites). We measure category-selective responses to complex ecologically salient visual stimuli – human faces – across a wide cortical territory in the ventral occipito-temporal cortex (VOTC), with a frequency-tagging method providing high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the same objective quantification of signal and noise for the two frequency ranges. While LF face-selective activity has higher SNR across the VOTC, leading to a larger number of significant electrode contacts especially in the anterior temporal lobe, LF and HF display highly similar spatial, functional, and timing properties. Specifically, and contrary to a widespread assumption, our results point to nearly identical spatial distribution and local spatial extent of LF and HF activity at equal SNR. These observations go a long way towards clarifying the relationship between the two main iEEG signals and reestablish the informative value of LF iEEG to understand human brain function.
