Authors: Lorenço-Lima Leandro
Published: May 2024

Mental strength is defined as a person’s ability to persist through challenging situations and recover from hardships and failures. Due to combat sports (CS) vigorous nature, several authors have identified various psychological factors modified through CS engagement and experience. This research aimed to determine the psychometrics of the Mental Strength Scale, explore the correlations between mental strength and age, CS experience, and competitive engagement, and investigate the existing group differences in mental strength based on sex, age, CS engagement, competition engagement, and CS experience. The total sample included 431 participants from 18 to 67 years of age, including 373 CS practitioners and 58 non-practitioners. Results revealed that The Mental Strength Scale demonstrated good internal validity (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.809) and convergent validity (Grit Scale correlation: p < .001, r = .539; Brief Resilience Scale correlation: p < .001, r = .551). A positive correlation was found between CS experience and mental strength. Group comparison demonstrated higher mental strength in CS practitioners than non-practitioners and in men compared to women. Moreover, CS participants in the >5, 2-5, and <2 years of experience reported higher mental strength than participants with no CS experience. In conclusion, the findings confirm that the Mental Strength Scale is a good psychometric instrument to assess the degree of mental strength, particularly in CS practitioners, and that CS engagement and experience positively influence the development of mental strength.

Authors: Santos Eduarda Lavínia Carneiro , Santos Beatriz Oliveira , Santos Francisca Roberta Oliveira , Oliveira Rosa Carolina Santos de , Costa Rômulo Carvalho , Machado Julianne Alves
Published: May 2024

Introdução: A Anafilaxia Perioperatória (AP) é uma reação sistêmica que acontece ao longo da anestesia, geralmente em poucos minutos após a indução intravenosa. Nesse sentido, estima-se que há uma subnotificação importante com relação à sua ocorrência e isso, resulta em um preparo limitado dos profissionais de saúde envolvidos no ambiente cirúrgico, no que tange, ao reconhecimento precoce da AP. Objetivo: Expor os desafios envolvidos na percepção precoce da anafilaxia perioperatória, com a finalidade de reforçar a importância da ampliação de informações relacionadas ao tema Metodologia: revisão integrativa realizada por meio das bases LILACS, SciELO, BVS, Embase e Cochrane Library, em outubro de 2023, de artigos publicados no período de 2003-2023. A busca dos estudos foi feita na língua inglesa com os seguintes descritores: "perioperative anaphylaxis" AND "diagnosis" AND "handling". Foram encontrados 43 artigos, sendo 18 selecionados para leitura na íntegra e, destes, 14 foram excluídos após análise qualitativa e 4 foram incluídos nesta revisão. A triagem e a elegibilidade dos dados foram realizadas por três revisores para garantir a extração precisa das informações necessárias para compor o presente artigo. Resultados: Mesmo com o desenvolvimento  da tecnologia atualmente, em relação à Anafilaxia Perioperatória, há muitas limitações de  diagnóstico e intervenção de forma precoce, resultando em desfechos com piores prognósticos para os pacientes, como foi analisado na leitura dos artigos envolvidos nessa revisão. Conclusão: Sendo assim, é válido ressaltar  a importância do profissional de saúde estar atento aos sinais clínicos que indicam a ocorrência de anafilaxia perioperatória, para, dessa maneira, agir em momento oportuno melhorando consideravelmente as chances de um melhor desfecho para o paciente.

A indústria de conservas no Brasil e no mundo vem passando por problemas, devido à falta de sua principal matéria-prima, a sardinha e o atum. Com esse prognóstico, há a necessidade de se desenvolver conservas de pescado, mediante o uso de peixes cultivados em água doce. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a produção e posterior análises físico-químicas e sensoriais de enlatados de pescado de água doce de filé e Carne Mecanicamente Separada -CMS de tilápia (Oreochromis niloticus), filé de pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus), coxa e dorso de rã (Lithobates catesbeianus), com molhos de cobertura em salmoura e óleo vegetal. Os dados de composição centesimal foram amostrados em triplicata, utilizando o delineamento fatorial duplo inteiramente casualizado, sendo os fatores cortes de pescado e molho de cobertura. A análise sensorial seguiu as recomendações de Dutcosky. O dorso de rã em óleo e CMS de tilápia obtiveram maiores níveis de proteína. O enlatado de filé de tilápia em óleo obteve aprovação superior a 70% dos consumidores. As condições microbiológicas das amostras de enlatados mostraram-se de acordo com as normas sanitárias vigente. Os resultados demonstram que o processo de enlatamento de cortes de pescado de água doce pode ser considerado uma alternativa promissora para a indústria de conservas no Brasil.
Memórias de resistências e violências: a população LGBT na ditadura cívico-militar brasileira
Authors: Soares Rayane Aparecida Silveira
Published: May 2024

O contexto brasileiro é marcado por discursos moralistas e conservadores, que assumem o tema “gêneros e sexualidades” como o inimigo da família tradicional brasileira. A população LGBT, que, tradicionalmente, tem sido alvo de violências e, até mesmo, extermínios, teme que agora tenha novamente seus direitos violados e sua liberdade cerceada como na ditadura cívico-militar. Esse temor agrava-se diante dos mais recentes ataques às instituições democráticas, que ameaçam a sua integridade. Estes fatos do presente fazem-nos questionar a nossa história, lançando perguntas para o nosso passado recente de terror, na busca de problematizar também o agora.  O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é analisar os sentidos construídos em torno da população LGBT nas memórias das violências praticadas por agentes do Estado contra essas pessoas, durante a ditadura cívico-militar brasileira. Além disso, importa analisar, nessas memórias, os movimentos coletivos de resistência criados por essas pessoas no contexto da ditadura. A pesquisa é de caráter documental e tem como principal fonte de dados o relatório da Comissão Nacional da Verdade, bem como publicações científicas, nas quais encontram-se registros das produções culturais e dos modos como essas pessoas se organizavam coletivamente para resistir às políticas de repressão do Estado, tais como os jornais Lampião da Esquina e os boletins ChanacomChana. Os estudos interseccionais são referenciais teórico-metodológicos desta pesquisa, assim como os aportes de Judith Butler e Giorgio Agamben. A discriminação contra a população LGBT foi também um marco das violências praticadas no contexto da ditadura cívico-militar brasileira, de modo a se fazer presente em diversas camadas e manifestações da cultura brasileira. Os resultados são discutidos a partir de três eixos analíticos: 1) a política conservadora e moralista na ditadura militar: gênero e sexualidade como alvos do estado de exceção; 2) o “feminino subversivo” como abjeto; 3) as resistências e a produção artístico-cultural de pessoas LGBT. Ainda que haja algumas lacunas, em se tratando da análise de alguns marcadores sociais de diferenças, sobretudo no que se refere às questões raciais, o relatório da Comissão Nacional da Verdade possibilita ampla compreensão sobre o tema pesquisado. A produção da memória coletiva desse período é um esforço necessário e relevante para o aparecimento social das políticas de morte acionadas pelo Estado nesse momento histórico. No que tange à população LGBT, ressaltam-se, também, as resistências que marcaram e marcam a história de organização coletiva desses grupos na produção de memórias e de reivindicação por direitos.

Published: May 2024

Os cuidados paliativos são abordagens que podem proporcionar melhor qualidade de vida para os pacientes que enfrentam doenças crônicas, incuráveis ou ameaçadoras à vida. Essa forma de cuidado é direcionada não apenas ao paciente, mas também aos seus familiares, abrangendo aspectos biopsicossociais e espirituais. Para tal, é necessário o serviço de uma equipe multiprofissional no fornecimento do cuidado ao indivíduo, respeitando sua dignidade e autonomia. Analisar as percepções dos médicos e enfermeiros que atuam na Atenção Primária, a respeito dos cuidados paliativos, em uma cidade no sudoeste da Bahia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva, realizada com profissionais médicos e enfermeiros da Atenção Básica por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. Posteriormente, realizou- se a análise dos dados obtidos juntamente com estudos acerca do tema. A pesquisa respeita os princípios éticos, sendo aprovada pelo Conselho de Ética e Pesquisa. Verificou-se que os profissionais compreendem o tema proposto, bem como, afirmam a existência e os benefícios dos cuidados paliativos na Atenção Primária. No entanto, relatam dificuldades em oferecer um suporte otimizado devido às limitações de recursos fornecidos pela rede de saúde. Dessa maneira, a necessidade da abordagem paliativista na Atenção Básica é primordial, pois, o cuidado integral, humanizado e singular, garante conforto aos pacientes frente ao processo de finitude da vida.

Published: May 2024

Ao longo da evolução foi possível observar a intensa relação de simbiose entre flores e abelhas, cuja reciprocidade garante a produção do mel, produto natural, açucarado, composto principalmente por glicose, frutose, enzimas, aminoácidos, minerais, cera e pólen. É um produto consumido mundialmente, utilizado na indústria alimentícia, farmacêutica e cosmética. Devido ao aumento da produção e consumo do mel, assim como seu valor relativamente alto, adulterações e fraudes são relatos frequentes, visando aumentar o volume de produto com adição de água, amido, açúcares comerciais e dextrinas. Visando avaliar a qualidade do mel vendido em SCS, SP, este estudo analisou 10 amostras de méis vendidos na cidade, conforme os testes preconizados pelo MAPA e Instituto Adolfo Lutz, verificando resultados com as métricas estabelecidas IN MAPA n° 11 de 20 de outubro de 2000. Realizaram-se análise sensorial, microscopia e testes para detecção de fraudes e falhas de processamento térmico.

Re-thinking the Teaching of Mathematics: COVID-19 and Beyond
Authors: Zahra Micallef Marouska
Published: May 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought drastic shifts in teaching, forcing a rapid transition from face-to-face to online learning spaces, with schools adopting new modes of pedagogy and assessment. Educators were faced with a situation where they needed to relearn ways of teaching mathematics and reimagine possibilities for teaching mathematics within the constraints imposed by the pandemic. Despite the difficulties, these constraints gave rise to innovative ways of teaching mathematics, and provided an opportunity for teachers and students to find new ways of interacting and working together. With a focus on the teaching of mathematics at post-secondary level, this paper explores the teaching experiences of four lecturers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It looks at the emerging pedagogical realities as the lecturers adjusted their teaching practices, as well as the pedagogical insights that they gained for their future practice. While initially the lecturers attempted to replicate a teaching and learning environment similar to what was before the pandemic, remote teaching then led to searching for digital tools that sought to enrich the teaching and learning experiences and afforded new opportunities for teaching and assessing mathematics. Following the period of remote teaching, the lecturers are looking towards a future practice as one which involves a blended learning approach, utilising aspects of online teaching and technology to complement and enrich their face-to-face teaching. The pandemic and remote teaching should provide an impetus to the sharing of pedagogical practices and to effective professional development on the use of effective teaching approaches, including the use of digital tools, to enhance mathematical teaching and learning experiences for students.
A Preliminary Study on the Effect of Different Feeding Regimes on the Milk Chemical Composition of the Maltese Goat Breed During the Early Stage of Lactation
Authors: Coppola Kyle , Abela Joseph J.
Published: May 2024

The Maltese goat is a breed of goats which is sparsely found in a few countries and also progressively being eradicated due to the Maltese goat being bred with other goat breeds, thus reducing the breed population. This research sets to understand how the effect of different feeding regimes affects the physiochemical characteristics of the Maltese goats’ milk. The researcher collected 112 milk samples from 112 Maltese goats, kept on 17 farms. The milk samples were categorised into four different feeding regimes. After collection, milk was stored and tested in the lab utilising an ultrasonic milkanalyser and a pH meter. Values for the content of fat, protein, salts, lactose, solid-not-fats, freezing point, density, and pH were recorded and tabulated. The results show that feeding regime three, consisting of high levels of protein (11% to 13%) and low levels of rich-quality fibre (12% to 20%), yield milk rich in protein (4.23%), fat (3.86%), lactose (4.09%), and salts (0.66%). The results also conclude that feeding regime one, consisting of low protein (7% to 10%) and low content of rich-quality fibre (12% to 20%), yields the highest milk fat content (4.23%), but the lowest levels of protein (3.82%), salts (0.59%), and lactose (3.62%). Consequently, feeding regime three results as being the ideal feed to obtain a high content of the indicated physio-chemical characteristics.

Published: May 2024

The safety and health protection of employees in the workplace is one of the most important aspects of the European Union and should be perceived in the same way in Poland. Achieving an appropriate level of occupational health and safety as well as a safety culture in an enterprise requires specific outlays, including financial ones, from the employer. Entrepreneurs are only slightly aware of the magnitude of losses caused by inadequate working conditions. Few workplaces carry out analyses of the relationship between the level of occupational health and safety and the costs incurred, and not all costs related to accidents at work are analyzed – especially indirect costs.The article presents what activities and related costs improve the company’s occupational health and safety level, what events generate only losses, and how the level of occupational health and safety affects the amount of social security contributions for accidents at work and occupational diseases.

Understanding Hotel Employees’ Perceptions of Guests with Disabilities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Van Hoang , Do Thi Lan Phuong
Published: May 2024

While previous research has mainly concentrated on understanding the requirements of guests with disabilities, there is a notable gap in exploring the perspectives held by hotel employees. This study endeavors to address this research gap by investigating how hotel employees in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) perceive guests with disabilities. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research seeks to uncover employee attitudes and knowledge, their roles in fostering inclusivity, and the significance of communication between management and staff in elevating service quality. Notably, the study’s key findings underscore a significant link between employee contentment and customer satisfaction within hotels in HCMC, underscoring the pivotal role of effective communication in enhancing service quality. The research’s most prominent discovery indicates that a substantial proportion of hotel staff (88.5%) strongly agree on the importance of providing accessibility for guests with disabilities, as evident from the outcomes of the online survey. This outcome demonstrates a commendable high level of awareness among hotel employees concerning the specific needs of customers with disabilities. In terms of hotels’ overarching outlook towards guests with disabilities, a majority of managers voiced the perspective that hotels do not actively focus on disabled guests as a distinct market segment. These findings provide invaluable insights that can guide hotel managers and employees, contributing to a more comprehensive comprehension of how to establish an inclusive environment within the hospitality industry.

Women with endometriosis often experience diminished ovarian reserve and a decreased number of oocytes retrieved. This reduction is exacerbated after surgery. Nevertheless, oocyte quality does not seem to be compromised in these patients. When embryos of good quality are obtained, in vitro fertilization outcomes are generally satisfactory. Oocyte cryopreservation may represent a fertility preservation option for women with planned and/or prior surgery, as it enables the collection of oocytes in advance. Given the diverse manifestations of endometriosis, which vary by type, age, and ovarian reserve, the decision to pursue oocyte cryopreservation should be weighed individually. Moreover, the potential benefits of this approach on future fertility must be carefully considered. Considering current guidelines, the most appropriate candidates for oocyte cryopreservation among women with endometriosis are: patients with bilateral endometriomas, typically larger than 3 cm; those with prior surgery for unilateral endometrioma who exhibit ipsilateral or contralateral recurrence; and those with unilateral endometrioma on a single ovary. However, the size criteria for endometrioma warrant further discussion. Conversely, oocyte cryopreservation is inadvisable for patients: with unilateral endometrioma smaller than 3 cm and good ovarian reserve; who have undergone surgery for bilateral endometriomas, regardless of recurrence; and who have diminished ovarian reserve. While consensus indicates that decisions regarding diminished ovarian reserve should be individualized, fertility preservation should often be considered for patients with serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels below 0.5 ng/mL. In such cases, a prolonged duration may be necessary to retrieve the desired 10 to 15 oocytes.

Due to the inconclusive situation of empirical studies on Small and Medium Enterprises ( SMEs)  and economic growth in Nigeria and the need to promote growth accompanied by poverty alleviation, this study examined SMEs financing and economic growth in Nigeria from 1999 to 2021. The hypotheses formulated and tested in the study included that there is no significant relationship between commercial bank loans, total credit to the private sector (which captures other means of financing SMEs) and lending rate. Annual data was collected from the Central Bank Statistical Bulletin. The augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test revealed that the variables were stationary at the first difference, while the Johansen co-integration test indicated a long-run relationship among the variables. The Vector Error Correction Mechanism (VECM) indicated commercial bank loans have a weak negative effect on economic growth. Total credit to the private sector has a positive effect on economic growth, while lending rates have a significant negative effect on economic growth. It was concluded that SMEs financing has significant positive effects on economic growth in Nigeria. It was recommended that the government encourage more commercial bank loans to SMEs by guaranteeing such loans, more development bank branches should be established; and the lending rate should be lowered.

Published: May 2024

The extraction of DNA is a fundamental process in molecular biology, underpinning a wide range of applications from genetic research to forensic science and medical diagnostics. This review aims to explore the latest advancements in DNA extraction techniques, highlighting their principles, applications, and suitability for various types of biological samples. Traditional DNA extraction methods, such as phenol-chloroform and ethanol precipitation, have served as the backbone of DNA isolation for decades. However, these techniques often involve hazardous chemicals and can be time-consuming. Recent advancements have focused on developing safer, faster, and more efficient methods, with a focus on automation and scalability. Innovations such as magnetic bead-based extraction, silica column purification, and specialized kits have greatly simplified the process, allowing for high-throughput applications in clinical and research settings. In addition to these technical improvements, new approaches have emerged to address specific challenges, such as extracting DNA from degraded or trace samples, as seen in forensic investigations, or isolating cell-free DNA for non-invasive prenatal testing and cancer diagnostics. Moreover, microfluidic devices and lab-on-a-chip technologies are transforming the landscape by enabling DNA extraction from minute samples with minimal reagent consumption. This review discusses the principles underlying these advanced techniques, their benefits and limitations, and the specific contexts in which they excel. It also considers future trends, including further automation, integration with sequencing platforms, and the potential for point-of-care applications. By examining the current state of DNA extraction technology, this review aims to provide researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive guide to the best methods for their specific needs.

Biodiversity, which refers to the entire array of life forms, genes, and ecosystems, was born as a result of the outcome of billions and billions of years of evolutionary development. In contrast to that, increasing the number of people and economy will impact biodiversity in the global level as it will not only destroy the ecosystems but also make them vulnerable to disruption. Preservation of biodiversity is undoubtedly one of the fundamental aspects that is necessary to keep species and genetic variations along with ecosystems. There is a large variety of insect species (more than half of all known life) and they are crucial for ecosystem functioning via pollination, nutrient recycling, and food web maintenance; However, they also act as vectors of diseases and pests. This research is focused on the insect diversity in Loyola College located in Chennai which was done through the Area Search Survey Method. Using a smartphone camera, the insects were imaged and then identified via iNaturalist. The reported data confirm the occurrence of various beetle classes, among which Lepidoptera is noted as the top order. The discussion delves into the ecological significance as well as economic influence of different insect groups which include services that they provide by way of pollination, pest control and so on. Awareness of insect biodiversity is important because of its role in ecosystem balance, agricultural stability, and human wellness.
2017 Anayasa Değişiklikleri Sonrası 1982 Anayasası’nda Yetki Ve Görev Olarak Yürütme
Authors: Göçgün Muhammed
Published: May 2024

Yürütmenin Anayasa’nın 8. maddesi uyarınca bir görev olarak yerine getirilmesi, anayasa koyucunun doğrudan yürütme organına birtakım görevler vermesi şeklinde gerçekleşebilir. Diğer yandan yürütme görevi, idarenin kanuniliği ilkesi çerçevesinde kanun koyucu ya da Cumhurbaşkanı tarafından idareye verilen bir görevin ifa edilmesi ya da kanunların veya Cumhurbaşkanlığı kararnamelerinin uygulanmasına yönelik işlemler tesis edilmesi anlamına da gelebilir. Yürütmenin yetki olarak kullanılması ise Cumhurbaşkanının arada kanun koyucunun bir iradesi olmaksızın doğrudan Anayasa’dan aldığı aslî düzenleme yetkisi kapsamında işlemler tesis etme gücüne sahip olmasıdır. Yürütmenin yetki olarak kullanılmasının en bariz tezahürü olan Cumhurbaşkanlığı kararnameleri, Cumhurbaşkanlığı hükümet sisteminin uygulanmaya başlandığı 2017 anayasa değişikliklerinin ardından hukukumuza girmiştir. Anayasa’nın 104. maddesinin 17. fıkrasında düzenlenen Cumhurbaşkanlığı kararnamesi çıkarma yetkisi, Cumhurbaşkanına, konu bakımından belirli sınırlar dahilinde ve belli ölçüde de olsa, kanunla düzenlenmemiş alanlarda aslî nitelikte kurallar koyarak yasama fonksiyonu kapsamında işlemler tesis edebilme gücünü kazandırmıştır. Böylelikle 1982 Anayasası’nda yetki ve görev olarak düzenlenmesine rağmen 2017 değişikliklerinden önce çok sınırlı şekilde somutlaşan yürütmenin yetki niteliği, 2017 değişiklikleri sonrasında Cumhurbaşkanlığı kararnameleri vasıtasıyla güçlendirilmiş ve belirgin hale getirilmiştir.
