With its distinctive flower color, the butterfly pea flower has excellent potential as a functional beverage ingredient. Its anthocyanin content provides natural color and high antioxidant activity. This study aims to improve the quality of butterfly pea flower drink by adding lemon extract, which is rich in vitamin C. Using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatment levels (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% lemon extract), this study evaluated the effect of adding lemon extract on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of butterfly pea flower drink. Antioxidant, pH, color, and sensory evaluations of taste, color, and scent were all included in the analysis. The outcomes demonstrated that adding lemon extract considerably impacted the butterfly pea flower drink's qualities. The best treatment was obtained at a concentration of 10% lemon extract (L1) with an antioxidant value of 0.28 ppm, pH 2.78, L*a*b* color value of 37.87, and received a good assessment in the organoleptic test, namely taste 3.48 (like), color 2.92 (like), and aroma 2.92 (like). * The combination of the natural blue color of butterfly pea flowers with the acidity of lemon produces a drink with an attractive appearance and fresh taste. In addition, adding lemon extract to butterfly pea flower drinks can improve product quality, especially at a concentration of 10%. With the addition of lemon extract, Butterfly pea flower drinks have great potential as functional drinks that are healthy and attractive to consumers.
Plant Molecular Farming: An Emerging Opportunity For Biopharmaceuticals
Authors: Kumari Kalpana
Published: November 2024

Conventional drug production methods are costly. Now, it has been proved that plants are potentially a new source of pharmaceutical proteins, including vaccines, antibodies, blood substitutes, and other therapeutic entities. Unlike mammalian-derived rDNA drugs, plant-derived antibodies, vaccines, and other proteins are particularly advantageous since they are free of mammalian viral vectors and human pathogens. Plants made therapeutics are cheaper, safer, and can be abundantly produced and easily stored. Recombinant proteins and other metabolites are produced in transgenic plants for industrial or pharmaceutical purposes, which are known as molecular farming. Transgenic plants carry one or more foreign genes transferred through the techniques of transformation. Although initially these were produced only in a limited number of plant species (e.g., tobacco, petunia, tomato, etc.), later these could be produced in any plant species, including both dicots and monocots. Transgenic plants resistant to herbicides, insects, viruses, and a host of abiotic stresses have already been produced. These plants have also been produced for improved nutritional quality and are suitable for food processing. The aim of this review paper is to understand plant molecular farming, the advantages and limitations of the process, and biosafety concerns.

BACKGROUND
Pakistan ranks fourth globally in terms of high drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) burden, with approximately one-third of cases resistant to fluoroquinolones. Bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid and moxifloxacin (BPaLM/BPaL) offers an opportunity
for most DR-TB patients to benefit from a shorter, all-oral, well-tolerated and more effective treatment.

METHODS
We conducted a retrospective cohort study to pilot the BPaLM/BPaL regimen at four selected sites in two provinces of Pakistan,
i.e. Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Data were extracted and analysed using electronic medical records from the program. Descriptive statistics, survival analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were employed.

RESULTS
A total of 116
patients took treatment between October 2022 and February 2023. The treatment success rate was 96%, with 3% deaths and <1% loss to follow-up. Patients typically completed treatment in 26.2–26.7 weeks for BPaLM and BPaL, respectively. No serious adverse events were observed. The most
common side effects included QTcF prolongation (BPaLM: 55%, BPaL: 84%), haematological events (BPaLM: 32%, BPaL: 34%), and gastrointestinal problems (BPaLM: 36%, BPaL: 25%).

CONCLUSION
The BPaLM/BPaL regimens for DR-TB are highly effective
with minimal adverse events and feasible to implement in routine program circumstances.

Biometric systems automatically identify people based on their behavioral characteristics. Finger veins are more secure as biometric data than other biometric data. Finger vein patterns are difficult to forge because they are below the surface of the skin. To make the vascular pattern visible on the skin, a special method is needed to identify it. This research aims to develop a finger vein recognition system using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method implemented in Python, with the aim of replacing the fingerprint-based employee attendance system in hospitals. This method offers higher security and resistance to forgery, given that finger veins are difficult to access from outside the body. This research utilizes the blood vessel dataset from Kaggle and goes through three main stages: preprocessing, training, and testing. The trained CNN model showed high performance with 99.99% accuracy in recognizing patterns in the finger vein images. The results of this study confirm that the developed system can provide accurate

A menopausa é caracterizada pela redução gradual dos hormônios femininos, causando alterações no ciclo menstrual e uma série de sintomas que afetam a qualidade de vida e o envelhecimento. Esse processo fisiológico marca a transição da fase reprodutiva para a não reprodutiva na vida da mulher, impactando não apenas sua saúde física, mas também a esfera biopsicossocial, com mudanças sociais, corporais e nas relações amorosas e sexuais. Nesse contexto, conscientizar sobre os sintomas facilita o autocuidado, e adotar hábitos saudáveis de vida ajudam a reduzir os impactos negativos da menopausa, promovendo maior autonomia e autocuidado. Nessa perspectiva, a educação em saúde é essencial para promover a capacitação dessas mulheres e auxiliar na conduta de promoção de saúde individual. Diante disso, o objetivo desse artigo é relatar a experiência vivenciada na execução de um projeto extensionista que teve como foco a promoção da educação em saúde sobre a menopausa, voltada para mulheres assistidas por uma Unidade Básica de Saúde no município de Itabuna, Bahia, Brasil. Sendo assim, os acadêmicos possibilitaram uma abordagem interdisciplinar de profissionais de saúde para auxiliar as mulheres na menopausa, com dinâmicas que possibilitaram a disseminação de conhecimento sobre as mudanças que ocorrem nesse processo. Dessa forma, foi possível a sensibilização da população considerada, promovendo a descontrução de informações equivocadas e incentivando a participação ativa desse público no debate.

Authors: Silva José Augusto Aragão , Santos Erick Augusto Rodrigues dos , Sousa Francisco Eduardo dos Santos , Braga Carlos Magno Melo , Silva André Bastos da , Souto Wedson de Medeiros Silva
Published: November 2024

Introdução: O uso de animais silvestres como pets é uma prática disseminada culturalmente em todo o mundo. Os quelônios neotropicais se destacam por serem frequentemente comercializados, tanto no mercado nacional como internacional. Objetivos: registrar as espécies de quelônios utilizados no comércio de animais de estimação, identificar as regiões onde essa atividade é mais prevalente e avaliar os impactos na conservação das espécies-alvo. Metodologia: realizamos um levantamento bibliográfico entre março e setembro de 2017, utilizando a base de dados Google Acadêmico. Selecionamos 113 estudos, divididos em dois grupos: aqueles que abordaram diretamente o comércio de quelônios; e aqueles que, embora não focassem no uso e comércio, evidenciaram o fluxo global de espécies. Resultados: identificamos 63 espécies de quelônios pertencentes a 10 famílias, registradas para uso e comércio de pets. Essas espécies foram encontradas em cinco regiões do planeta: América Latina, Ásia, Europa, Oceania e América do Norte. Dentre elas, 37 estão listadas na IUCN Red list, abrangendo categorias que vão de Pouco Preocupantes a Criticamente Ameaçadas. Embora uma grande diversidade de quelônios neotropicais tenha sido registrada no comércio de pets, os dados disponíveis ainda são insuficientes para avaliar a extensão dessa atividade. Conclusão: Observamos uma demanda significativa em regiões onde o comércio é culturalmente enraizado ou em áreas economicamente desenvolvidas, com a Ásia e América Latina destacando-se como os principais centros da rota do comércio internacional. Portanto, são necessárias mais pesquisas etnobiológicas para direcionar estratégias de conservação mais eficazes para as espécies alvo do comércio.

No final de 2019, uma nova enfermidade respiratória grave surgiu em Wuhan, China. Rapidamente disseminada globalmente, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarou o evento como uma pandemia em março de 2020. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar os efeitos da atuação na linha de frente da pandemia de COVID-19 na saúde mental dos profissionais, explorando suas estratégias de enfrentamento e os discursos formados em torno dessa vivência. A análise é fundamentada nos conceitos pós-estruturalistas de Michel Foucault.A pesquisa foi qualitativa e teve como unidade de análise profissionais da saúde, incluindo enfermeiros, médicos, técnicos de enfermagem e fisioterapeutas. Eles atuaram em diversos serviços de saúde durante os anos iniciais da pandemia (2020-2021), quando a cobertura vacinal era baixa. O estudo explorou como o medo da contaminação e as condições de trabalho afetaram suas vidas. Três personagens discursivos centrais emergiram: o "panoptismo" (vigilância constante), o "vetor" (aquele que carrega o vírus) e o "herói" (profissional que enfrenta a pandemia). As estratégias de enfrentamento incluíram o uso de álcool, atividades físicas e apoio psicológico. O estudo também criticou o governo brasileiro por sua resposta negacionista à pandemia, negligenciando medidas de proteção. Destaca-se a necessidade de desenvolver estratégias de cuidado com a saúde mental dos profissionais e promove a reflexão crítica sobre as estruturas de poder, visando a melhoria da resiliência e do bem-estar desses trabalhadores.
MastitisApp: a software for preventive diagnosis of mastitis in dairy cows
Authors: Mafra Italo Henrique Souza , Balthazar Glauber da Rocha
Published: November 2024

Dairy farming has great economic value in Brazil, however, during production, diseases such as mastitis can occur in animals, which can reduce productivity and, consequently, economic profitability. When mastitis is present in animals, it can cause physical and chemical changes in the milk, affecting its quality, market value and also compromising the health of the animal. MastiteApp is a tool to help producers prevent mastitis in their herds by checking the temperature taken from the four teats of the animal. To perform the analysis, the temperature of all the animals' teats must be measured and, if there is a change in temperature, the system will display a message informing the producer of the possible presence of subclinical mastitis in their animal. The application has proven to be efficient in alerting producers to the possible presence of subclinical mastitis in the first few days of manifestation, thus initiating treatment and preventing the disease from worsening.

Published: November 2024

The study aims to analyze the effect of internal and external bank factors on the financial performance of Islamic banks during the Covid-19 pandemic. The external factors or macroeconomic factors consist of BI Rate and Inflation. The internal bank factors used are BOPO (Operating Expenses for Operating Income), CAR (Capital Adequacy Ratio), FDR (Financing to Deposit Ratio), NPF (Non-Performing Financing), and ROA (Return on Assets). A quantitative analysis is applied to assess the research construct by using a panel regression approach. The data used is sourced from Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority for the observation period from 2019 - 2021. The findings show that external factors do not affect ROA in the long run and short run. Meanwhile, the internal factors BOPO and CAR significantly influence ROA, and NPF is having a significant impact only in the long run.  The implications of this study show that Islamic banks need to strengthen operational efficiency, maintain capital adequacy, and implement good credit risk management in order to increase profitability sustainably, regardless of external fluctuations such as BI interest rates and inflation.

Published: November 2024

Al-Mg alloys were potentiostatically electrodeposited from electrolyte with AlCl3, NaCl, KCl and MgCl2 at 180 °C for aircraft applications. The electrode setup includes a Cu cathode, Pt-mesh anode, and Al-rod pseudo-reference electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) reveals the Al deposition sources as Al2Cl7-and AlCl4-. The Mg deposition source can be a reaction between Al2Cl7- and MgCl2 and MgCl2 dissociation (both releasing Mg2+). Depositions at over­poten­tials: -1.03, -1.05, -1.06, and -1.10 V show current density-time curves with almost steady-state j, indicating planar diffusional growth. This is confirmed by layer-like morphologies with near-globular growth features. The average feature size decreases to -1.06 V and increases slightly at -1.10 V due to further deposition over the existing features. The deposit composition (Mg content) increases from 0.36 to 5.68 at.% from -1.03 to -1.10 V. Such a wide range of Mg content is obtained through minimal compositional changes in spent electrolytes, indicating the ease of less-noble Mg deposition. Al-Mg deposition scheme is devised with Al and Mg deposition perceived as Al3+ + 3e-  Al and Mg2+ + 2e-  Mg; and 2Cl- Cl2(↑)+ 2e- supplying electrons for deposition.

Authors: Latifansyah Muhammad Anzar , Rifai Anis , Sadino Sadino
Published: November 2024

This study aims to identify obstacles and formulate strategic measures to optimize asset recovery in the State-Owned Enterprises Banking sector post-corruption cases. This research employs a normative legal research method with a comparative approach, where the collected legal materials are analyzed qualitatively to describe the problems and answer the research objectives. The results show that asset recovery faces multidimensional challenges, including weaknesses in the legal framework, limitations in the capacity and integrity of law enforcement officers, lack of facilities and infrastructure, and efforts by the accused to avoid asset recovery. Optimizing asset recovery requires a comprehensive strategy encompassing the enactment of the Bill on Criminal Asset Forfeiture, strengthening the legal and institutional framework, enhancing the capacity and integrity of law enforcement, improving facilities and infrastructure, optimizing the civil route, and strengthening international cooperation. Therefore, it is recommended that the Government, Directors of State-Owned Enterprises Banking, the Asset Recovery Center, and law enforcement agencies undertake various optimization efforts, such as accelerating the enactment of the Bill on Criminal Asset Forfeiture, increasing the budget, strengthening corruption prevention systems, enhancing the competence of law enforcement officers, and strengthening international cooperation. Furthermore, the Public Prosecutor is expected to maximize the use of Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 in indictments, enabling judges to issue optimal rulings for asset recovery in the State-Owned Enterprises Banking sector post-corruption cases.
CORRECTION OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION WITH SULFAPORIN IN HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIC RABBITS
Authors: Qutlikova Go'zalxon
Published: November 2024

In animals with experimental hypercholesterolemia, depending on the time of survey, we observed activation of smooth muscle cells and macrophages, causing development of inflammation in the intima, as evidenced by high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), endothelin-1, and homocysteine. The aim of the study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction in HCH and the possibility of their correction with sulfaporin. Material and methods of the study Experiments were conducted on 46 Chinchilla rabbits with an average weight of 2.5–3.0 kg, kept on a standard diet. The model of experimental HCH in animals was reproduced by orally administering cholesterol (CS) dissolved in sunflower oil in a ratio of 0.2 g per 1 kg of body weight daily for 3 months. The development of hypercholesterolemia was assessed by the increase in the level of totalcholesterol (TC), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which were determined on a biochemical analyzer. Results of the study. In this case, a progressive increase in the homocysteine level was established: an increase of 1.72 (P < 0.01); 2.33 (P < 0.001) and 2.89 (P < 0.001) times, respectively, for the periods of cholesterol administration of 1, 2 and 3 months. Considering that hyperhomocysteinemia enhances the capture of LDL by endothelial cells, it was of interest to study the relationship between these indicators. The studies showed that with a cholesterol level in LDL of 2.38 ± 0.27 mmol / l, the homocysteine content is 3.46 ± 0.25 pg / ml. With a cholesterol level in LDL of 4.08 ± 0.10; 5.97 ± 0.09 and 6.48 ± 0.11 mmol/l, the homocysteine content increases to 5.96 ± 0.05; 8.07 ± 0.43 and 9.99 ± 0.17 pg/ml, respectively. Conclusions.  Hypercholesterolemia is manifested by activation of smooth muscle cells and macrophages, causing the development of inflammation in the intima, which is confirmed by high levels of CRP, endothelin-1, homocysteine.

The objective of this work was to develop an effective procedure for converting coffee agro-waste into marketable products using hydrothermal technology. The information related to changes in physical and thermal properties were explored in this work. To achieve the research objectives, three main steps were performed, i.e., feedstock preparation, wet torrefaction, and hydrochar characterization. Two types of feedstocks were studied in this work, coffee parchment and coffee pulp. In the wet torrefaction process, each feedstock was treated using two types of solutions, i.e., distilled water and acetic acid, at different concentrations. The reaction was carried out in an autoclave with a pressure of 2 bar (g) and an operating temperature of 130 ℃ for 2 hours. The properties of the hydrochar products were then analyzed using various methods, including bomb calorimetry, SEM, density, TGA-DTG, and hydrophobicity analyses. Overall, the results indicated that the hydrochar produced under acetic acid solution had better characteristics compared to that treated under distilled water. In terms of fixed carbon content and calorific value, the values increased up to 25.3% and 4,603 kcal/kg, respectively. Enhanced hydrophobicity was only observed in the coffee parchment hydrochar, where the average time required to adsorb water was 146.6 s, which can be categorized as strongly hydrophobic.

En México, la educación superior es la etapa más importante de desarrollo profesional. La efectividad educativa se mide por la eficiencia terminal de los estudiantes. Este trabajo identificó los factores personales, académicos, sociales y de salud que afectan el desempeño escolar concluyendo con el abandono escolar. Se realizó una encuesta con 46 reactivos que abordó los factores anteriormente mencionados. Asimismo, se aplicó la encuesta a 375 estudiantes, hombres y mujeres mayores de edad inscritos, pertenecientes a alguno de los 16 programas educativos del cuatrimestre septiembre-diciembre 2022. Se empleó una muestra aleatoria. Los resultados académicos señalaron un alto índice de reprobación, pues más del 50% de las materias fueron reprobadas. Se concluyó que la deserción por reprobación es el factor principal. Por otro lado, el factor salud y socioeconómico influyen en el bajo rendimiento escolar propiciando la deserción académica.

This study investigated how environmental education has been implemented in public schools and the main challenges faced in this process. The overall objective was to analyze environmental education practices in schools, identifying obstacles and opportunities. The methodology adopted was bibliographic, based on the analysis of books, articles and dissertations on the subject. The results revealed that, although environmental education is recognized as important, its implementation faces difficulties such as lack of infrastructure, lack of specific training for teachers and difficulty in integrating the topic into the disciplines. However, it was found that practical projects, linked to the local reality, have the potential to engage students and promote effective environmental awareness. The final considerations highlighted the need for greater teacher training and institutional support, in addition to suggesting new studies to broaden the understanding of the challenges and solutions for environmental education in public schools. The research contributes by identifying the main obstacles and suggesting improvements in educational practices focused on the environment.

Throughout the history of education, we have witnessed different theoretical positions on curricular adaptations. When referring to curricular adaptation for people with disabilities, the debate becomes more pronounced, as there is no consensus among teachers whether or not the curriculum should be adapted. The problem that guided the reflection was: why is there still resistance from teachers to make adaptations in school curricula? The objectives of this investigative process were: to understand, in the light of the theoretical references, the reasons why the teachers of the common school almost do not make the curricular adaptations; to analyze whether it is due to the lack of initial and permanent training that teachers find it difficult to make adaptations in the curriculum; identify the main pedagogical barriers that prevent curricular adaptations in schools at all levels. The option was for qualitative research, supported by bibliographic research and documents that support the theme of curricular adaptations. References put us in front of a question: the dilemma is - to adapt or not the curriculum, considering that in the space-time of the school students with Specific Educational Needs are occupying common schools at all levels. Results found in the literature have shown us that there is no consensus among teachers as to whether or not the curriculum should be adapted. Considerations, of course, not conclusive, led us to reflect on the vehement need to invest in the permanent training of teachers, with regard to curricular adaptations in schools.

Introduction: Knowledge of self-perception of health in the elderly is of utmost importance, since it enables the analysis of the health conditions of this population and factors associated with their positive and negative aspects. It is currently considered a reliable way of assessing general health status, in addition to being a relevant indicator of quality of life and even mortality in the elderly. Objective: To understand self-perception of health and associated factors in elderly people who attend community groups. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional study of a quantitative nature, carried out in a community center in the city of São Luís, MA. A questionnaire addressing biopsychosocial data was used as data collection instruments, while self-perception of health was assessed using the Old Age Schedule questionnaire, adapted for the Brazilian population. Results: the sample consisted of 30 elderly people aged 60 to 85 years, 76% female and 24% male. The level of education varied between incomplete high school (17%) and complete higher education (83%), with 47% having an income equal to or greater than 2 minimum wages. 73% of the elderly reported having a positive self-perception of health, while 27% reported a negative self-perception. When comparing their perception of their health in relation to people of the same age, 36% of the elderly considered themselves to be in better condition than most people they know, while 64% considered themselves to be in the same health condition as most people they know. Conclusion: the results allowed us to conclude that self-perception of health can be influenced by different factors, such as level of education, financial and clinical conditions, adherence to and practice of physical exercise, especially in groups. These elements can play an important role in the positive self-perception of the elderly, as was seen in the present study.

This study explores the critical role that online communities play in fostering collaborative learning by examining the various technological advances and pedagogical approaches that are being used to change the educational experience. In a comprehensive literature review, we examine the evolution of collaborative learning in the digital environment, from asynchronous discussion platforms to immersive virtual environments and artificial intelligence systems. Our analysis shows that online communities, when integrated effectively, offer unique opportunities for collective knowledge construction, overcoming cultural and geographic barriers. However, we also identify important challenges, such as the need to ensure equity in participation and foster sustained engagement. The study highlights the importance of a balanced approach that puts educational principles first, rather than simply implementing technology, and emphasizes the need for educators to develop new facilitation skills. propose strategies to create more inclusive and adaptable learning environments using emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Thus, we found that, despite having transformative potential for collaborative learning, online communities are useful to apply in a careful and contextualized way, based on constant research and collaboration between all participants in the educational ecosystem.

Vulnerability is present when one of the parties in the relationship becomes weaker and more prone to influence and harm. In a doctor-patient relationship, the first inference that arises is that the patient is the vulnerable party in the relationship; although this is appropriate, since in most cases this is the most common scenario, it is necessary to see the hidden sidelines on stage: the doctor in the vulnerable position after making a mistake, due to circumstances beyond his control. This point will flourish within the process, with the active participation of the Public Defender's Office, as Custos Vulnerabilis, if it is not a defense per se, demonstrating that, regardless of being requested to represent the passive party, his presence will be due as a verifier of the guarantees that weigh up the vulnerability, at the same time.
