Abstract

The aim of this study is to measure the antioxidant and anticandidal efficiency of Pedicularis comosa var. acmodonta (Orobanchaceae). Using a spectrophotometric test on extracts from P.comosa var. acmodonta grown in Turkey, the antioxidant efficiency of the plant extracts was estimated by measuring the violet coloration in a methanol solution containing 1,1-diphenylpyryl hydrazil (DPPH·). In addition, the results of the anticandidal effect tests using the CLSI M27-A2 method are also included in this study. The 70% ethanol extract of P. comosa showed the highest antioxidant activity (0.143 mg/mL). According to the anticandidal activity test findings on five Candida species, it was determined that 70% ethanol extract of P. comosa inhibited C. utilis at a dose of 31.25 µg/mL (MIC).

Abstract

Soil is a biodiversity-rich ecosystem. Nitrogen-fixing Azotobacter bacteria, an important component of this ecosystem, are frequently isolated using various methods. The aim of the present study was to perform partial molecular characterization of non-Azotobacter isolates derived during two Azotobacter isolation protocols, as well as to determine which bacteria can be obtained using this method. A total of 800 isolates were acquired from soil samples collected from various pastures in Antalya province of Turkey, with 92 of them being molecularly characterized. These isolates were clustered through RFLP analysis of 16S rRNA gene and the DNA sequences of the isolates representing different groups were performed. According to these results, the bacteria belonging to various genera (Agrobacterium, Phyllobacterium, Variovorax, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Agromyces, and Arthrobacter) were identified. The results show that similar bacteria could be obtained through two isolation protocols used in this study. However, more diverse bacteria were encountered on the Brown-medium than on soil-past.

Keywords: Azotobacter, isolate, soil, 16S rDNA

The king ratsnake (Elaphe carinata) of the genus Elaphe is a common large, non-venomous snake widely distributed in Southeast and East Asia. It is an economically important farmed species. As a non-venomous snake, the king ratsnake predates venomous snakes, such as cobras and pit vipers. However, the immune and digestive mechanisms of the king ratsnake remain unclear. Despite their economic and research importance, we lack genomic resources that would benefit toxicology, phylogeography, and immunogenetics studies. Here, we used single-tube long fragment read sequencing to generate the first contiguous genome of a king ratsnake from Huangshan City, Anhui province, China. The genome size is 1.56 GB with a scaffold N50 of 6.53M. The total length of the genome is approximately 621 Mb, while the repeat content is 42.26%. Additionally, we predicted 22,339 protein-coding genes, including 22,065 with functional annotations. Our genome is a potentially useful addition to those available for snakes.

Authors: Legarre Santiago
Published: December 2023

This short article is part of a larger project titled The Catholic Supreme Court Justices, which will include an intellectual biography of each and every Catholic Justice in the history of the Supreme Court of the United States. This segment is on Amy Coney Barrett. It first highlights her unusual choices in educational matters; next, it focuses on her family and her work. Regarding the latter, it analyzes both her short stint in the bench of the federal Court of Appeals and her even shorter one (at the time this contribution was penned) at the Supreme Court. It concludes that to understand correctly the relevance of the Catholicity of this Justice of the Supreme Court, one needs to understand the teachings of the Catholic Church on separation of Church and State (and of religion and law).
Del absolutismo francés al despotismo ilustrado en España: Influencia francesa y moderna
Authors: Fos Medina Juan Bautista
Published: December 2023

La influencia francesa en España es anterior al advenimiento de Felipe V al trono, el primer borbón español, incluso antes del “siglo de Luis XIV”. En efecto, Richelieu, en tanto precursor del Estado-Nación, dejó una impronta en otros reinos europeos. En el caso de España, dicho influjo se profundizó desde las primeras reformas borbónicas y se agudizó mediante las medidas centralistas de los ministros ilustrados. De manera que las innovaciones del llamado “despotismo ilustrado” reconocen su antecedente en el utilitarismo y absolutismo estatal, iniciado en la teoría por Maquiavelo y llevado a la praxis política por el célebre Cardenal francés. Con todo, si bien dicho absolutismo tiene una suerte de cuño francés, en realidad su originalidad se encuentra en los principios de la modernidad que afectaron, aunque en distinto grado, tanto a Francia como a España por el hecho de que ambos reinos, al menos desde el siglo XVIII, formaban parte de un mundo común.
Presentación al Dossier “El pensamiento y la ciencia de España en el Bicentenario de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (1821-2021)”. Segunda parte
Authors: Castro Montero Ángeles
Published: December 2023

Hace dos años, el Centro de Pensamiento Español de la Fundación Ortega y Gasset Argentina, con motivo de conmemorar el Bicentenario de la creación de la Universidad de Buenos Aires en 1821, convocó a una jornada académica de reflexión sobre los roles, los diálogos y las huellas que dejaron algunos científicos de diferentes disciplinas e intelectuales provenientes de España y dictaron cursos en la cátedra Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo en la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Esa cátedra fue creada en 1914 con el apoyo de la Institución Cultural Española, relevante asociación de inmigrantes españoles radicados en la Argentina, que tenía la finalidad de dar a conocer la actualidad científica peninsular y trabajaba colaborativamente con la Junta para Ampliación de Estudios, situada en Madrid, seleccionando a destacados representantes de la modernización que se estaba llevando a cabo en las Universidades, laboratorios e institutos de investigación para que atravesaran el Atlántico y enseñaran en las aulas universitarias a estudiantes y al público interesado de nuestro país. El número 30, volumen 1 de la revista Temas de Historia Argentina y Americana publicó algunos trabajos que se expusieron en la jornada celebrada el 17 de noviembre de 2021 sobre los viajes académicos del filósofo José Ortega y Gasset, del matemático Julio Rey Pastor y el fisiólogo Augusto Pi y Suñer. Los estudios fueron reunidos en el dossier “El pensamiento y la ciencia de España en el Bicentenario de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (1821-2021)”. A fines de este año 2023, a modo de cierre de aquel encuentro, se dan a conocer dos trabajos sobre la pedagoga María de Maeztu y el historiador medievalista Claudio Sánchez Albornoz, que constituyen la segunda parte de aquel dossier.

Published: December 2023

One of the most important rooms in any person's or family's home is the kitchen. Above all else, safety is the most important consideration for any activity done in the kitchen. It is imperative to promptly detect and manage gas leaks, uncontrolled fires, high temperatures, and damp conditions to ensure everyone's safety and to preserve groceries, essential fruits and vegetables, and other items in good condition. Making a prototype of an Internet of Things (IoT) based SMART [S-Safe, M-Monitoring, A-Analysis, & R-Reporting, T-Technology] system is the primary goal of this project. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the concept that this SMART system for the kitchen uses. Several sensors, relays, and an ESP8266-Board Node MCU are all used in this proposed system. The ESP Dashboard server keeps an eye on the parameters of the indoor environment, including temperature, humidity, and smoke and gas detectors, to ensure the desired operation. This SMART kitchen's overarching goal is to provide a costly and practical cooking environment that optimizes convenience and minimizes hazards. Additionally, it should shield users from any unfortunate events, user errors, or carelessness on their part and encourage a safe area for cooking as well as a place to store groceries and other necessities.

Authors: A.Chougule Anant , Awati J. S. , Kumbhar M. S.
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, intelligent robot technology is extensively used in every aspect of human existence and production. To achieve automatic sorting, future development must concentrate on employing intelligent robots instead of humans. Coin sorting robots are an important research object in the field of sorting robots. This paper focuses on a machine vision (MV) sorting especially difficult application, in which the `part' is an Indian coin. The lack of distinguishing characteristics between denominations and the variation in features within a single denomination makes the application difficult in part. Even though coin recognition algorithms have been published in the literature, most applications are evaluated offline using the coins' weights. In the end, it was determined that none of these three methods achieved the desired 95% accuracy at 1000 coins per minute.
Advanced Molecular Mechanisms of Epilepsy
Authors: Chandana Bandaru , Mohan G. Krishna , Rani M. Sandhya
Published: December 2023

The Central Nervous System (CNS) is a complex network composed of the cerebral cortex and the vertebral column, orchestrating intricate processes through neural networks and chemical regulation. Neurotransmission in the CNS involves neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, neuromediators, and neurotropic factors, playing distinct roles in cellular activity and synaptic plasticity. Various neurotransmitters such as dopamine, glutamate, GABA, glycine, serotonin, and others exert diverse effects on the CNS through specific receptors, influencing synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability. GABA, the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, acts via GABA-A and GABA-B receptors, modulating Cl-ion channels and second messenger systems, impacting seizure activity and CNS function. Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by abnormal brain activity leading to recurrent seizures, results from an imbalance between excitatory (glutamate) and inhibitory (GABA) systems. The pathophysiology involves neuronal hyperexcitability, disrupted ion channels, and neurotransmitter imbalances, leading to seizures with varying symptoms and severity. The etiology of epilepsy encompasses genetic predisposition, head injuries, brain disorders, infections, prenatal injuries, and developmental disorders. Treatment options include medications, surgery, brain stimulation therapies, and dietary interventions like the ketogenic diet Understanding the mechanisms underlying epilepsy involves exploring neurotransmitter interactions, ion channel dynamics, and neuroendocrine modulation. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and steroid hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, play roles in seizure susceptibility, offering potential avenues for therapeutic intervention. In conclusion, unravelling the complexities of the CNS and epilepsy involves deciphering intricate neural pathways, neurotransmitter functions, and hormonal influences. Developing targeted therapies that modulate these intricate systems may offer promising approaches for managing epilepsy and related neurological conditions.

Authors: Lopes de Castro Nayara , Telles Liliam , Rody Thalita , Ferreira de Freitas Alair
Published: December 2023

O objetivo desse artigo é compreender e evidenciar a densa vida econômica das mulheres rurais, ressaltando seu papel central na economia familiar, na soberania e segurança alimentar e nutricional e na conservação da sociobiodiversidade. Ele se justifica a partir da percepção de que boa parte das atividades protagonizadas pelas mulheres não é compreendida como “trabalho” produtivo, o que as marginaliza a uma posição acessória às atividades dos homens e invisibiliza sua contribuição para os núcleos familiar e comunitário. Em âmbito teórico, o projeto se apoia na economia feminista crítica, a partir da qual se discutirá a agroecologia e as relações de gênero no meio rural. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio da metodologia qualitativa, baseada em um processo de pesquisação participativa, com o envolvimento de 12 agricultoras familiares da Zona da Mata e Leste de Minas Gerais. Os métodos de coleta de dados foram: Cadernetas Agroecológicas, Questionário de Caracterização Socioeconômica e Mapa da Sociobiodiversidade. Os dados foram tabulados, tratados e avaliados utilizando software Excel. Foi evidenciado que as agricultoras são protagonistas de uma dinâmica social no campo que vai além da geração de renda, mas também provê segurança alimentar e nutricional, preservação e regeneração da sociobiodiversidade.

Published: December 2023

Keluarga merupakan lingkungan utama bagi perkembangan dan pembentukan pribadi seorang anak. Namun, fenomena broken home, di mana orang tua tidak tinggal bersama dalam satu rumah tangga, telah menjadi isu yang semakin memprihatinkan dalam masyarakat modern. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh keluarga broken home terhadap aktivitas belajar siswa. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keluarga broken home memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap aktivitas belajar siswa. Siswa yang berasal dari keluarga broken home cenderung menunjukkan tingkat aktivitas belajar yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan siswa dari keluarga utuh. Hal ini mungkin disebabkan oleh kurangnya dukungan emosional dan pengawasan yang akurat dari orang tua, serta perpecahan keluarga yang dapat memengaruhi konsentrasi dan motivasi belajar siswa. Penelitian ini juga mengungkapkan bahwa keterlibatan orang tua dalam mendukung aktivitas belajar siswa dapat mengurangi dampak negatif keluarga broken home. Orang tua yang tetap aktif dalam kehidupan pendidikan anak mereka dan memberikan dukungan emosional yang kuat dapat membantu siswa mengatasi tantangan yang muncul akibat situasi keluarga yang tidak stabil. Penemuan ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang pengaruh keluarga broken home terhadap aktivitas belajar siswa dan implikasinya terhadap pendidikan. Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi dasar untuk pengembangan program intervensi yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan motivasi dan prestasi belajar siswa yang berasal dari keluarga broken home.

Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho buscou identificar como as ferramentas OWAS e o RULA podem auxiliar nas atividades laborais de uma empresa de limpeza, referente aos aspectos ergonômicos. A metodologia empregada foi o estudo de caso, de caráter quali quantitativo. Utilizaram-se os métodos OWAS e RULA através do software ergoeasy para análise da atividade de varrição das salas administrativas, copa e vestiário. As análises identificaram que o trabalho envolve a postura normal (corpo ereto com joelhos levemente flexionados), seguida pela postura que exige uma verificação em revisão posterior da empresa, em curto prazo ou imediata (quando na maior parte do tempo as trabalhadoras laboram em pé, com flexão de tronco e com torsão de tronco). Os resultados obtidos pela metodologia RULA indicaram a necessidade de investigação e mudança imediata com relação ao trabalho, devido a trabalhadora permanecer por cerca de 86,11% do tempo com os braços abaixo dos ombros. A metodologia RULA define a necessidade de investigação nos aspectos posturais, do lado direito e esquerdo do corpo. A análise da postura das pernas indicou que as atividades são predominantemente executadas na posição em pé (75%), com as pernas esticadas, levemente flexionadas. Conclui-se que há um elevado potencial de ocorrência (54%) ou acometimentos de disfunções osteomusculares em decorrência do considerável índice de flexionamento do tronco em estágio de inclinação ou torcido, por longo tempo ou repetidamente.

Suggestions for the restructuring of hanseniasis institutions in Brazil
Authors: CRUZ O.
Published: December 2023

After seeking to establish the fact that the structures of institutions for the treatment of Hansen's disease are normally obsolete, archaic, and foster paternalism and sentimentality, the author proposes a restructuring of these institutions with the end of transforming them into modern hospitals. Basically, the author proposes a division of these institutions into three areas:1. Hospital proper2. Residential area3. Asylum areaHe then gives a definition for each of these and describes its principal activities.

A coloração de, lipídios pelo Sudão lll. Importância na classificação histopatológica da hanseníase
Authors: NEVES RENE GARRIDO
Published: December 2023

1º) As técnicas de coloração para lipídios devem ser realizadas, rotineiramente, ao lado da Hematoxilina eosin e da coloração de bacilos a fim de aumentar a precisão diagnóstica das diversas formes clinicas da Hanseníase. 2.°) O Sudão III usado em 8972 casos permite concluir que, apesar dos pequenos inconvenientes da fácil cristalização e descoramento das preparações é imprescindível à correção do diagnóstico histopatológico. 3.°) Na Hanseníase Indeterminada a pesquisa de lipídio patológico é sempre negativa. Alguns casos clinicamente diagnosticados como Indeterminados revelaram tratar-se de Hanseníase Virchowiana incipiente ou em fase de transição graças ao achado de células de Virchow típicas com o duplo componente bacilos-lipídio. Somente o emprego obrigatório da coloração para lipídios despista estes casos.4.°) Na Hanseníase Tuberculóide, com granulomas quiescentes a pesquisa de lipídios é sempre negativa. 5.°) Na Hanseníase Tuberculóide reacional a pesquisa de lipídio anormal é negativa porém graças ao edema que desestrutura os granulomas aparece uma tonalidade amarelada, clara e difusa. Isto se deve à solubilização parcial do corante no liquido de edema que contém uma fração de lipóides normais. Um patologista não familiarizado com esta imagem poderia considerá-la como positiva (é portanto falso-positiva).  6.°) Consideramos como Hanseníase Tuberculóide em reação quando nem todos os granulomas apresentam edema separando as células epitelióides; a cor amarelada difusa somente é observada nos que estiverem nesta fase de transição. 7.°) Na Hanseníase Virchowiana em atividade a pesquisa de lipídios foi positiva em mais de 99% dos casos. 8.°) Na Hanseníase Virchowiana em regressão e residual a presença de lipídios é praticamente de 100%. No estádio final a deposição do lipídio se faz também no interior de grandes vacúolos, cavidades e no citoplasma de células gigantes do tipo corpo estranho. 9.°) Na Hanseníase Dimorfa encontramos positividade em 75,9% dos casos. 10.°) Na Hanseníase Dimorfa é multo importante o reconhecimento dos 2 tipos de imagem pois elas podem estar presentes na mesma preparação:— lipídio localizado grumoso e nítido, nas células de Virchow;— lipídio difuso, amarelo claro, nos granulomas tuberculóides com edema.
Genética e Hanseníase: uma percepção crítica de sua conceituação e evolução
Authors: GONÇALVES AGUINALDO
Published: December 2023

Inicialmente, são detalhadas as controvérsias a respeito da natureza infecciosa ou hereditária da doença, já polarizadas quando de sua própria conceituação no século XIX e acentuadas ainda mais durante este século. A seguir revê-se uma série de Unhas científicas consistentes que gradualmente vêm sendo definidas, notabilizando-se os estudos que focalizam a problemática do meio familiar, a hanseníase conjugal, á afecção em gêmeos, o papel da lisozima e os estudos da doença em relação a marcadores genéticos, v.g., grupos sangüíneos, dermatóglifos, polimorfismos enzimáticos série e antigeno Au. Tais Informações conduzem a uma percepção critica posterior que parece indicar que as duas posições básicas quanto à nosografia da doença precisam ser redimensionadas em termos factuais da multicausalidade na história natural do agravo mórbido, abandonando assim o simplismo da ótica positivista unicausalistica da determinação. Isto posto e tendo claro sobretudo as várias evidências mencionadas e discutidas de mecanismos genéticos na hanseníase e a maior freqüência da transmissão efetiva do bacilo que a freqüência de casos novos, revê-se a aplicação de um modelo mendeliano bastante usual em genética de populações como possível base teórica, da ação da hereditariedade da doença.
Incidência das deformidades da mão na hanseníase
Authors: CAMPOS MARIO PATRONY , MARGARIDO LEONTINA C. , RODRIGUEZ FRANCISCO NAVARRO
Published: December 2023

Os autores fizeram um levantamento das deformidades nas mãos de 360 portadores de hanseníase virchoviana, e verificaram que as amiotrofias são as mais freqüentes. As menos freqüentes são os processos reabsortivos do 5.° dedo da mão E. Tecem considerações finais sobre a forma de prevenção. Os processos terapêutico-cirárgicos, plásticos e ortopédicos só têm êxito quando realizados no início do processo da deformação, o que depende de educação sanitária constante e sistemática do doente.
Reação hansbnica com lesões viscerais
Authors: BASTAZINI Ivander , FLEURY R. N.
Published: December 2023

É apresentado um caso de um paciente virchoviano que na vigência de surto de Reação hansênica vem a falecer. A correlação anátomo-clínica sugere como provável "causa mortis" colapso tóxico-infeccioso secundário a extensa infecção aguda envolvendo traquéia, planos mediastinais, folhetos pleurais e pericárdicos. Por sua vez pela análise dos dados clínicos e dos achados do estudo da laringe no pós mortem o comprometimento inicial laringo-traqueal foi conseqüente às lesões necrotizantes e supurativas da reação hansênica em nível laringeo. Este mesmo comprometimento necrótico-supurativo da reação hansênica é encontrado no seio de infiltrado virchoviano na pele, gânglios linfáticos, nervos periféricos, testículos, fígado e baço. ); comentado, que lesões desta intensidade podem causar sérios distúrbios funcionais, e piorar de muito as condições anatômicas das estruturas atingidas. Finalmente é destacada a presença de glomerulites proliferativas mesangio-endoteliais como substrato anatômico da proteinuria observada em vida.

A luta contra a tuberculose e a hanseníase. Apreciação geral da analogia epidemiológica das micobacterioses de Koch e de Hansen
Authors: PUPO J. de Aguiar
Published: December 2023

A receptividade da infância e adolescência, registrada no ambiente familiar dos focos poli-infectantes, constitui o ponto vulnerável da luta contra ambas as endemias; pela imunização preventiva e tratamento dos casos precoces, diminui-se e estanca-se a infectuosidade do doente foco, com os recursos atuais da vacina de Calmette — Guerin e da quimioterapia específica pelas medicações antimicrobianas biostáticas, de acordo com os esquemas de tratamento mistos estabelecidos pela prática para uma e outra das infecções irmãs. Dentro da moderna estrutura sanitária de controle da saúde da comunidade pelos "Centros de Saúde" de ação dispensarial integralizada por equipes de médicos sanitaristas, visitadoras e técnicos de laboratório, impõe-se paralelamente a formação de Unidades Móveis de atuação em meio familiar, para vigilância sanitária periódica de contatos e doentes contagiantes, segundo os preceitos da Medicina Preventiva, harmonizando-se com os "Médicos de Família", obedecendo-se ao critério formulado pelos Hansenólogos e Tisiólogos. Unitermos: Hanseniase. Tuberculose. Epidemiologia. Profilaxia.

Hanseníase dimorfa com surtos de reação hansênica e lesões viscerais
Authors: TONELLO Cláudio , URA Somei , ZORZETO Vilson , FLEURY R. N.
Published: December 2023

E relatado o caso de um paciente hanseniano, do grupo Dimorfo, que apresentou após tempo prolongado de doença, um surto, com aparecimento de novas lesões que assumiram características tuberculbides reacionais, para em seguida mostrar também lesões nodulares com características clínicas e estruturais virchovianas. Este tipo de evolução é compatível com os surtos de pseudo-exacerbaço referidos por Souza Lima. Sobre este paciente incide surto severo de Eritema nodoso hansênico, com lesões cutâneas e viscerais, estas últimas com caráter muito intenso e destrutivo sobre o parênquima hepático, refletindo-se clinicamente por hepatomegalia e icterícia. E discutida a patogenia dos surtos de pseudo-exacerbação, bem como a situação peculiar dos pacientes Dimorfos localizados no espectro nas proximidades do pólo virchoviano, sujeito às agressões neurológicas dos surtos de pseudo-exacerbação e às agressões cutâneas, neurológicas e viscerais dos surtos de Eritema nodoso hansênico.
