A Multidisciplinary Comparative Study on the Informality Features of Abstracts of Research Articles
Authors: SUN Chang
Published: March 2022

Academic papers have always been the formal style of maintaining fairness and objectivity, and the research experiment process and research results should be presented with a rigorous and calm scientific attitude. However, some scholars believe that the use of some “informality features” in academic papers can “persuade” readers to accept their own views. Therefore, the formal degree of style in academic papers has always been the focus of academic writing. Based on the theory of 10 informal styles proposed by Swales and Chang (1999), this paper studies the features of informality in abstracts of academic papers on soft science and hard science published by Chinese scholars in international journals to provide some enlightenment for academic writing of second language learners of different majors. It is found that informal words or sentences are frequently used in abstracts of papers in hard science journals, and the requirements for stylistic features are more tolerant. However, the style of writing in abstracts of journals of social science is more formal and cautious.
Las mil y una noches de la melatonina
Authors: Saavedra-López Harold Felipe , García-Pérez María Juliana , Arteaga-Díaz Juan Manuel
Published: March 2022

Contexto: la melatonina fue aislada por primera vez, en 1958, por el dermatólogo Aaron Lerner a partir de una glándulapineal bovina. Para 1970 se descubrió su rol en la regulación del ritmo circadiano y los estados de sueño-vigilia, papel enel cual se han enfocado la mayoría de los estudios clínicos. Su síntesis ocurre a partir del triptófano, a través de procesosde hidroxilación y acetilación, para posteriormente convertirse en melatonina. Desde su descubrimiento, se han planteadomúltiples beneficios biológicos, todos ellos basados en sus efectos como reguladora del estrés oxidativo. Es por ello que losestudios clínicos demuestran que la suplementación de esta hormona, aparte de regular el ritmo circadiano, tiene potenciales efectos en el manejo de enfermedades crónicas no transmisiblesObjetivo: aportar nueva evidencia acerca de los mecanismos fisiológicos y bioquímicos de la melatonina y controvertir su posible uso terapéutico.Metodología: revisión bibliográfica en la base de datos PubMed y Scopus utilizando los términos MeSH: “melatonin”,“circadian clocks”, “circadian rhythm”, “cancer”, “oxidative stress”.Resultados: existe gran evidencia bibliográfica acerca de la historia de la melatonina y sus posibles efectos metabólicos, los cuales van muy de la mano de su rol como reguladora del ritmo circadiano, por medio de los estados sueño-vigilia y luz-oscuridad.Conclusiones: la melatonina puede servir como coadyuvante en el manejo de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles como cáncer, obesidad, hígado graso, mucositis y en manejo de pacientes críticamente enfermos.

Authors: Rojas Melo Leonardo Javier , Ojeda Rodríguez Kelman Hanael , Kerguelen Villadiego Alfonso Luis , Parra Prieto Darío Alfredo
Published: March 2022

Introducción: los inhibidores de puntos de control inmunológico (IPCI) hacen parte del arsenal terapéutico contra diferentes tipos de tumores sólidos, demostrando su utilidad contra melanoma metastásico, estadio III. En Colombia, para esta indicación se cuenta con la aprobación de anticuerpos contra el antígeno 4 de los linfocitos T citotóxicos (anti-CTLA-4)y de anticuerpos contra el receptor de muerte celular programada 1 (anti-PD-1).Se han descrito eventos adversos inmunomediados, siendo las endocrinopatías uno de los más frecuentes. La hipofisitis se asocia comúnmente con terapia anti CTLA-4, siendo rara la presentación en pacientes con terapia con anti-PD-1, presentándose, en estos últimos, cuadros clínicos más larvados e inespecíficos, pero cuyas manifestaciones pueden ser graves.Objetivo: presentar un caso clínico que ilustra un efecto adverso endocrinológico, asociado a tratamiento con inmunoterapia,en paciente con melanoma metastásico, para tener en cuenta cuando se use este grupo de medicamentos.Presentación del caso: el presente artículo informa del caso de un paciente masculino de 81 años con cuadro de hipofisitiscon reacción adversa grado 3, por insuficiencia suprarrenal secundaria al uso de pembrolizumab, como parte del tratamiento de un melanoma metastásico pulmonar. Debutó con síntomas generales de astenia, náuseas, hiporexia e hiponatremia hipotónica normovolémica con niveles bajos de cortisol y con ACTH (hormona adrenocorticotrópica) inapropiadamente normal. Requirió manejo intrahospitalario con glucocorticoides, con respuesta adecuada clínica y paraclínica al tratamiento.Discusión y conclusiones: los tratamientos de inmunoterapia en pacientes con enfermedad neoplásica cada vez son más utilizados y pueden llevar al desarrollo de eventos adversos. Se presenta, en el caso clínico, un evento de toxicidad por pembrolizumab que causa una insuficiencia adrenal secundaria aislada. Esta es una situación poco común y suele presentarse con una clínica inespecífica por lo que debemos tener alto nivel de sospecha para brindar un adecuado manejo; la demora para iniciar el tratamiento con corticoides tiene consecuencias en el paciente.
False Memories in Minors as Alleged Victims of Sexual Abuse
Authors: Espinoza Mora Angel Rumualdo
Published: April 2022

When referring to the issue of child sexual abuse, we are facing a situation of vulnerability for minors, who immediately require an interdisciplinary intervention that guarantees their emotional, physical, and social stability. However, it turns out to be a challenge for professionals in psychology, to be able to discern between a real argument of the alleged victim and a false memory established by external factors in the minor. It should be clarified that this article never tries to question, revictimize or not consider as real the minimum manifestation of sexual abuse by any person. This article highlights the importance of professional expertise when assessing a minor who has revealed alleged abuse. Multiple studies and publications have been carried out that refer to the implantation of false memories or recollections in people. Therefore, a conceptual, methodological, technical, and ethical review of the discrimination of memories by professionals in psychology is necessary.

Published: April 2022

O soro de queijo bovino é um dos principais resíduos da indústria de lácteos. Apesar de ser utilizado para fabricação de alguns produtos, ainda é amplamente descartado e de maneira inadequada, provocando danos ambientais e econômicos. Entretanto, o soro possui alto poder nutritivo podendo ser útil em processos fermentativos. O objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver um soro de queijo bovino desproneinizado para ser utilizado como possível substrato na produção de exopolissacarídeos microbiano. O soro de queijo in natura (T1) e tratado (T2) foi analisado quanto ao pH, teor de gordura (%); acidez titulável, teor de proteínas (%), resíduo mineral fixo (%), extrato seco desengordurado (%), umidade (%) e açúcares totais (%). Verificou-se que o processo de retirada de gordura e proteínas, que são possíveis interferentes na extração de EPS microbiano utilizando soro de queijo como substrato, foi adequado, pois reduziu significativamente seus teores de 0,53% para 0,22% para proteínas e 0,40% para 0,05% para gordura. Portanto, este trabalho desenvolveu um método alternativo para o manejo de soro de queijo de leite de vaca, que além de reduzir o impacto ambiental, também pode ser utilizado para produção de EPSs por BAL para serem utilizados pelas indústrias de alimentos.

A aplicação de um produto biodegradável para compor a mistura geleificante que dá origem ao filme é uma alternativa limpa, porém, ainda se encontra em fase de teste, uma vez que se precisa conhecer suas propriedades a fundo para possíveis proteção em alimentos. A aplicabilidade da pectina cítrica na formação de filmes possui uma demanda satisfatória, já que é um material de baixo curso e renovável. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar o perfil físico-químico de filmes de pectina cítrica aditivado com extrato de juçara (Euterpe edulis), conferindo-lhes atividade antioxidante. Estes filmes foram obtidos pelo método casting utilizando a proporção de 1:1 (água:juçara). As abordagens matemáticas e estatísticas solidificaram o desenvolvimento dos melhores modelos, obtidas pelas funções do programa Matlab® R2015a (The Mathworks Inc., Natick, Ma, USA). Empregou-se o método passo a passo através da função “stepwisefit”, utilizando a melhor combinação dos fatores com base na adição ou exclusão de termos para estabelecer um modelo, sendo avaliados a partir de um teste de significância (p <0,05). Realizou-se 12 ensaios experimentais, onde variou-se as concentrações do extrato de pectina e juçara, obtendo-se como respostas, umidade, espessura, solubilidade, permeabilidade ao vapor de água e espectroscopia de infravermelho. A incorporação do extrato de juçara aos filmes de pectina proporcionou um aumento na capacidade antioxidante destes, sem alterações que modificassem as características físico-químicas, elevando seu potencial para utilização como filme de característica antioxidante.

Research is the name of seeking, confirming and publicizing the truth. There is not at all any room for conjecture in it. Conjecture gives birth to doubt and breeds dubiety. Dr. Mahr Abdul Haq has declared “SARF BAHAAI”, a compilation / composition of Hazrat Bahauddin Zakria Multani (R.A), whereby ignoring the facts, merely on the basis of conjecture. It is, in actuality, the composition of Bahauddin Aamli (R.A). It is written in Dr. Mahr Abdul Haq’s article titled “Hazrat Bahauddin Zakria Multani (R.A)”, published in “Adab Khazeenay” the text book of Elective Punjabi for class 11th that “SARF BAHAAI” is the composition of Hazrat Bahauddin Zakria Multani (R.A). This misconception is transferring from generation to generation because of being included in the curriculum. The miscue in the past research can be rectified with the research as well.

Published: March 2022

Water is an essential material in life, water is needed by living things, especially as drinking water. There are many factors that hinder or trigger the availability of clean water to decrease. One of these factors is human activities that can cause problems for the availability of clean water supply for healthy consumption of the community. One of these factors is the existence of a Final Disposal Site (TPA). The final disposal site (TPA) in West Lombok is the Kebon Kongok TPA. This research is a descriptive analytic study. This research was conducted at the Health Testing and Calibration Laboratory Center (BLKPK) of West Nusa Tenggara Province. Well water samples are taken directly at the location, then taken to the laboratory for examination in order to obtain primary data. Sample measurement was carried out using the MPN (Most Probable Number) method which was carried out at the West Nusa Tenggara BLKPK laboratory. Variety II: 5 x 10 ml, 5 x 1 ml, 5 x 0.1 ml. Variety 2 is used for specimens that have not been processed or are thought to have a high germ count. There were 12 samples of well water tested and all of them were positive for coliform bacteria. The number of Coliform bacteria found in the test samples varied. The highest number of bacteria was found in sample 1, which contained Coliform 5400/100 ml of water. This happens because the distance of sample 1 well is only 10 meters from the leachate or leachate waste collection point. All samples of well water tested were already at the threshold of clean water so they were not fit for consumption.

The Thanjavur delta region of Tamil Nadu vastly depends on agriculture. The current trend of agricultural production has been significantly affected due to changes in climatic condition. The observed parameters have been acquired from IMD (Indian Meteorological Department.) for the period 1971-2014 and CCAFS (Climate Change, Agricultural and Food Security) over the period 2015–2050 for climate trend and extremities analysis. This study indicated that observed maximum temperature (TMax) has significantly increased about 0.8 ºC, 1.5 ºC and 0.9 ºC in ARP, NPT and IMD grid respectively over the period 1971-2014. Besides that, minimum temperature (TMin) has shown an insignificant trend in ARP and NPT and a significant trend in the IMD grid (0.5 ºC) respectively. Moreover, the observed rainfall showed an insignificant trend in ARP (-3.8%), NPT (-11.1%) and IMD grid (+22.5%). The projected TMax & TMin showed a significant increasing trend ofabout1.05 °C and 1.1°C respectively and the rainfall projected to decrease insignificantly at 21% over the period 2015 to 2050. In the extreme analysis of the delta region, temperature indices showed a significant increasing trend in both the observed and future. The rainfall indices showed a larger variation in the observed and future period. The outcome of the study would be useful in framing the climate change adaptation strategies for agriculture and water sectors for the Thanjavur delta region.

Artikkelissa analysoidaan ylemmän ammattikorkeakoulututkinnon (YAMK) suorittaneiden uratoiveita ja urapolkuja ja niiden suhteutumista toisiinsa erilaisten uratyyppien kehyksessä. Tarkastelun keskiössä on erityisesti liiketalouden alalta tradenomi (YAMK) tutkinnon suorittaneiden urakerronta. Tutkimuksen empiirinen aineisto pohjautuu kahdentoista vastavalmistuneen tradenomi (YAMK) koulutuselämäkerrallisiin seurantahaastatteluihin. Tutkimus valaisee eri uratyyppeihin paikantuvien YAMK-tutkinnon suorittaneiden näkemyksiä työmarkkinoille sijoittumisestaan ja urakehitysmahdollisuuksistaan. Tulokset osoittavat, että vain osalla uraa koskevat toiveet toteutuvat sillä tavalla kuin he olivat ennakoineet, muun muassa työmarkkinoilla tapahtuvasta kysynnästä tai elämäntilanteissa tapahtuvista muutoksista johtuen. Toiveiden ja toteutuneiden urapolkujen kohtaamattomuus edellyttää kerronnallista uran rakentamista, mikä puolestaan vaikuttaa urapolun tulevaisuutta koskeviin toiveisiin. On tärkeää huomioida opiskelijoiden elämänhistorian moninaisuus ja uratoiveiden muutokset YAMK-koulutuksen jatkokehittämisessä. Tutkimus tarjoaa kehyksen, jonka puitteissa vahvistaa YAMK-tutkintoa suorittavien tavoitteellista uraohjausta.

The availability of chill hours influences the break dormancy, sprouting and production of temperate fruit trees in different regions. During the winter, the chilling requirements for growing peaches in subtropical locations are restricted, and certain chemicals are required to overcome dormancy and induce budburst. As a result, further information concerning the use of these compounds on stimulating sprouting in peach trees is required. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of hydrogen cyanamide, nitrogen fertilizer, and calcium nitrate to trigger budburst in the ‘Douradão’ peach orchard, which is in the subtropical area of São Paulo state, Brazil. The following tree chemicals were tested: 0.6 % hydrogen cyanamide, 2.5 % nitrogen fertilizer with 4 % calcium nitrate, 4 % calcium nitrate, and control. The hydrogen cyanamide accelerated, predicted, and focused blooming on plants, along with improving fruit set and output. Furthermore, combining nitrogen fertilizer with calcium nitrate accelerated budburst, which boosted flowering, output per tree, and yield. The spraying of the peach plants with just calcium nitrate produced results like those obtained in the control. The results allow for the use of hydrogen cyanamide or nitrogen fertilizer + calcium nitrate as an option for triggering budburst in Douradão cultivar peach trees under subtropical circumstances, depending on the orchards system management used.

Published: April 2022

This paper presents how a ninth semester teaching programme created employability skills among students. During the semester, students were expected to collaborate with a company or an organization to solve a task set by the external partner. The students used their academic and analytical skills and competences as a part of working with the ‘product’ (pitch and report), which they also delivered to the external partners. The students thus gradually became aware of the competences they used. The collaboration with companies and organizations formed part of and was integrated into the courses taught during the semester. The theories, concepts and themes presented in the instruction during the first part of the semester could be used by students in their collaboration with the external partner, both practically and theoretically. Students worked with external partners for six weeks during the second half of the semester.

For effective investment activity of banks, it is necessary to optimize and manage the bank's securities portfolio.The modern portfolio management system has a sufficient arsenal of effective tools, including a number of principles and approaches.

The volatility of the Kazakhstan stock market requires the accounting service to pay increased attention to the main function of professional financial agents (including commercial banks) - resource management. The multi-dimensionality of the modern investment portfolio of a commercial bank goes beyond the traditional "accounting" model, that is, the description of the results of portfolio management activities by drawing up the balance sheet. Accordingly, within the framework of the organization of the subject of financial activity, the problem of managing the investment portfolio, building a model and technological implementation arises.

Given the huge potential of theoretical developments in the field of portfolio management, Kazakhstan's commercial banks are lagging behind in the practical implementation of management models. Decision-making within the standard organizational structure of commercial banks does not reflect the current capabilities and requirements for resource management. With the development of the Internet and information technologies in Kazakhstan, the time allocated to top managers for making managerial decisions has sharply decreased. Thus, it is necessary not only to develop a model of resource management in the financial markets, its practical implementation has also become a factor in the competitiveness of a commercial bank. The relevance of the study lies in the lack of a comprehensive approach to the practical implementation of the investment portfolio management process, starting with the creation of the organizational structure of a commercial bank and ending with the introduction of management models based on improved information.

In experiments on male Wistar rats by means of transbronchial electroplethysmography and catheterization of the pulmonary artery, changes in hemodynamics of the small circle were traced in response to a change in body position relative to the gravity vector in male Wistar rats when adapting to high altitude conditions for 60 and 150 days. Served as control similar experiments on the plain. It is shown that the gravitational redistribution of blood filling and blood flow in the lungs in the mountains is less pronounced than in the plain. This is due to an increase in the rigidity of the arterial vascular bed of the lungs and, accordingly, an increase in the reactive component of hydraulic resistance. The pressure response in the pulmonary artery at the moment of a change in body position was well expressed both on the plain and in the mountains. On the plains, the transition to the passive orthostatic position was accompanied by a decrease in both systolic and the percentage of, to a large extent, diastolic pressure, and the transition to the passive antiorthostatic position was accompanied by an increase in pressure in the pulmonary artery with approximately the same proportions of changes in systolic and diastolic. The results obtained are generally consistent with the concept of regional irregularity of blood circulation in the lungs, according to which the values of the gradient in blood filling and blood flow in the lungs are determined by the action of gravity and exists at any position of the body in space, although in a horizontal position (lying on the back) and on a plain, and in the mountains we did not find reliable gravitational differences in rats either in blood filling in blood flow.

Sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis) are the most well-known fruit in the citrus family. It is a good source of vitamin C, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and pectins. Although, fruits are now stored well but concerns for spoilage of fruits particularly due to fungal diseases still present. Fungi can grow on a variety of substrates, and hence responsible for various diseases in humans and are quite harmful to crops and fruits as well. The present study was conducted for isolation, identification and characterization of fungi associated with spoilage of orange fruit (Citrus sinensis). The samples of Citrus sinensis were collected from fruit markets located near Sanda, Lahore. Pure cultures of Aspergillus niger were obtained, after colonial and morphological (shape, structure, color) characterization of the isolates. The isolated fungal strain (Aspergillus niger) was applied on the skin of fresh Citrus sinensis and pathogenicity test was carried out. It was noticed the isolated strain was pathogen and cause disease in fresh specimens of sweet oranges.
