Published: February 2024

The use of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes (gem-DFCPs) as fluoroallyl surrogates under transition-metal catalysis has drawn considerable attention recently but such reac-tions are restricted to producing achiral or racemic mono-fluoroalkenes. Herein, we report the first enantioselective allylation of indoles with gem-DFCPs under rhodium catal-ysis. This reaction shows exceptional branched regioselec-tivity towards rhodium catalysis with gem-DFCPs, which provides an efficient route to enantioenriched fluoroal-lylated indoles with wide substrate scope and good func-tional group tolerance.
Understanding the effect of density functional choice and van der Waals treatment on predicting the binding configuration, loading, and stability of amine-grafted metal-organic frameworks
Authors: Owens Jonathan , Feng Bojun , Liu Jie , Moore David
Published: February 2024

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline, 3-dimensional structures with high surface areas and tunable porosities. Made from metal nodes connected by organic linkers, the exact properties of a given MOF are determined by node and linker choice. MOFs hold promise for numerous applications, including gas capture and storage. M$_2$(4,4'-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxylate) - henceforth simply M$_2$(dobpdc), with M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, or Zn - is regarded as one of the most promising structures for CO$_2$ capture applications. Further modification of the MOF with diamines or tetramines can significantly boost gas species selectivity, a necessity for the ultra-dilute CO$_2$ concentrations in the direct-air capture (DAC) of CO$_2$. There are countless potential diamines and tetramines, paving the way for a vast number of potential sorbents to be probed for CO$_2$ adsorption properties. The number of amines and their configuration in the MOF pore are key drivers of CO$_2$ adsorption capacity and kinetics, and so a validation of computational prediction of these quantities is required to suitably use computational methods in the discovery and screening of amine-functionalized sorbents. In this work, we study the predictive accuracy of density functional theory (DFT) and related calculations on amine loading and configuration for one diamine and two tetramines. In particular, we explore the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional and its formulation for solids (PBEsol) with and without the Grimme-D2 and Grimme-D3 pairwise corrections (PBE+D2/3 and PBEsol+D2/3), two revised PBE functionals with the Grimme-D2 and Grimme-D3 pairwise corrections (RPBE+D2/3 and revPBE+D2/3), and the non-local van der Waals correlation (vdW-DF2) functional. We also investigate a universal graph deep learning inter-atomic potential's (M3GNet) predictive accuracy for loading and configuration. These results allow us to identify a useful screening procedure for configuration prediction that has a coarse component for quick evaluation and a higher accuracy component for detailed analysis. Our general observation is that the NNP can be used as a high-level and rapid screening tool, whereas PBEsol+GD3 gives a completely qualitatively predictive picture across all systems studied, and can thus be used for high accuracy motif predictions. We close by briefly exploring the predictions of relative thermal stability for the different functionals and dispersion corrections.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of Azilsartan 40 mg and Olmesartan 40 mg in patients with stage I systemic hypertension undergoing cardiac OPD at a tertiary care facility. A 6-month open-label comparison study was undertaken in the Department of Cardiology at Acsr Government Medical College and Hospital. All patients visiting the cardiac outpatient clinic at Acsr Government Medical College who have stage I systemic hypertension of any sex, aged 20-65, with blood pressures >140/90 mmHg, or glucose intolerance. Diagnoses for essential hypertension were made, and patients were randomised to receive either group 1 (40 mg of Azilsartan) or group 2 (40 mg of Olmesartan) after the initial screening. The individuals receiving care were instructed to come back for a fourth, eighth, twelveth, as well as twenty-fourth weeks.  Both groups showed a statistically significant drop in systolic blood pressure (P value < 0.0000001). Both medicines regulated blood pressure in similar ways. However, the Azilsartan group had a lower mean SBP and DBP than the Olmesartan group. Both medicines were well tolerated, and no severe side effects were observed throughout the research.

Published: February 2024

It is common for oral symptoms to appear early in autoimmune illnesses. Dentists play a vital role in the early detection of autoimmune illnesses. The efficacy of treatment regimens and general quality of life can actually be much improved with early diagnosis. On their own the lesions may self-regulate and enter remission. A diagnosis can be confirmed using a variety of techniques including immunoblotting immune precipitation direct and indirect immunofluorescence and biopsy. Therapeutic drugs should be prescribed after a thorough examination of immunological state using a range of assays and after determining any aggravating or inciting variables. An appropriate treatment strategy that enhances the patients quality of life and prognosis depends on an early and precise diagnosis. To assist the practitioner in the management the oral symptoms histological features and diagnosis have been elaborately discussed in this review.

Published: February 2024

Background Due to the alarming rate at which obesity is increasing a global epidemic has been declared. Resistin one of the rodents cysteine-rich protein classes suggests that these adipocytokines could contribute to the molecular causes of obesity. Our ability to grasp this concept could be crucial in the development of novel therapies for conditions associated with obesity.Aim To investigate the connection between obese participants serum resistin levels and body mass index BMIMethods Using an ELISA kit the serum resistin levels of 15 obese persons aged 25plusmn10 years with a BMI score of 30plusmn5 and 15 lean individuals in the same age group with a BMI score of 20plusmn2 were investigated. Evaluations were also conducted on serum glucose and lipid profile markers such as cholesterol low-density lipoproteins LDL and high-density lipoproteins HDL.Results No statistical significance in serum resistin levels was noted between obese and lean individuals. Serum resistin showed a positive correlation 0.11 with HDL but yielded a negative correlation -0.263 with LDL Very-low-density lipoprotein VLDL and BMI. Independent Samples Test for HDL LDL VLDL and BMI between obese and lean showed a very high statistical significance p lt0.0001. Though serum resistin levels remained high in obese it was not significant p-value 0.078.Conclusion Although an overt rise in obesity could not be seen the concentration of circulating resistin in obese people revealed a correlation with HDL and anthropometric factors. In summary the precise role that human resistin plays in obesity insulin resistance and the onset of diabetes is still up for debate. In the near future the precise role of the intriguing new hormone resistin in metabolism will become clear.
Apical dehydration impairs the cystic fibrosis airway epithelium barrier via aβ1-integrin/YAP1 pathway
Authors: Simonin Juliette L , Tomba Caterina , Mercier Vincent , Bacchetta Marc , Idris Tahir , Badaoui Mehdi , Roux Aurélien , Chanson Marc
Published: February 2024

Defective hydration of airway surface mucosa is associated with lung infection in cystic fibrosis (CF), partly caused by disruption of the epithelial barrier integrity. Although rehydration of the CF airway surface liquid (ASL) alleviates epithelium vulnerability to infection by junctional protein expression, the mechanisms linking ASL to barrier integrity are unknown. We show here the strong degradation of YAP1 and TAZ proteins in well-polarized CF human airway epithelial cells (HAECs), a process that was prevented by ASL rehydration. Conditional silencing ofYAP1in rehydrated CF HAECs indicated that YAP1 expression was necessary for the maintenance of junctional complexes. A higher plasma membrane tension in CF HAECs reduced endocytosis, concurrent with the maintenance of activeβ1-integrin ectopically located at the apical membrane. Pharmacological inhibition ofβ1-integrin accumulation restored YAP1 expression in CF HAECs. These results indicate that dehydration of the CF ASL affects epithelial plasma membrane tension, resulting in ectopic activation of aβ1-integrin/YAP1 signaling pathway associated with degradation of junctional proteins.
Non-enzymatic browning reaction of isomaltulose
Authors: Hadjikinova R.D. , Dobreva V.C. , Dobrev G.T.
Published: February 2024

Isomaltulose is a naturally occurring reducing disaccharide composed of glucose and
fructose monomers. It is gaining interest as an alternative sweetener to sucrose in past
years. It has been successfully used in various food products like chocolate, breakfast
cereals, chewing gums, and dairy products especially, ice cream and yogurt. Nonenzymatic browning reactions in foods continue to be an active area of research because
of their important roles in color, flavor and nutritional quality. The present study aimed to
investigate the influence of different environmental factors on the non-enzymatic
browning reaction of isomaltulose. The formation of colored products as a result of the
non-enzymatic browning reaction was monitored. The most significant color change
occurs in isomaltulose solution under the studied conditions (pH, temperature and amino
component), which is a clear indication of a more intense course of the non-enzymatic
browning reaction. The most intense staining was observed at pH 10, t = 80°C with the
amino component glycine. It has been found that while glucose solutions are coloured
more intensely in the presence of lysine, isomaltulose solutions are coloured more
intensely in the presence of glycine. In addition to the type of amino component, the
degree of staining is influenced by the pH value and the temperature. The results obtained
showed that the use of isomaltulose in the composition of foods, that are subject to heat
treatment, will affect the color formation of the final product.
Harnessing indigenous agro-processed flour blends as composite bioresources in
functional food development
Authors: Oleghe P.O. , Akharaiyi F.C. , Ehis-Eriakha C.B.
Published: February 2024

Flours from inexpensive but perishable indigenous crops like cereals, legumes, roots, and
tubers contribute about 90% of food calories intake worldwide. These can be processed as
composites and prepared into readily available wholesome staple functional food products
possessing multiple functions that provide some physiological, therapeutic, and nutritional
benefits. This development entails blending flours from various plant sources (in different
percentages) to produce a variety of food products. Their macronutrients compositions and
diverse array of secondary metabolites associated with enhanced bioactive potentials can
be annexed together to obtain balanced diets necessary for survival and confer substantial
health benefits in preventing and managing chronic diseases. For an adult diet therapy to
be accepted as healthy, it generally should averagely be able to provide calories daily in
the following proportions: carbohydrates (55%), protein (22.5%) and fat (27.5%). This
can be achieved using flour blends of most indigenous botanicals. The interest in
producing functional food commodities from mixed flour is increasing globally and is
currently captivating researchers’ curiosities. With lots of raw botanicals of comparative
advantage and heavy post-harvest losses, African countries like Nigeria could use this
technology to enhance the utilization of their agricultural bio-resources. These flour blend
developments will accelerate the exploitation of native food crops toward producing ready
-to-eat, highly nutritious functional food products like bread, cakes, and biscuits. This
review highlights the nutritional quality, value, and health derivatives obtained from using
underutilized plant materials as composite flour to prepare ready-to-eat bakery and staple
functional food products. Diet therapy is a formidable means of prolonging life
expectancy, as eating right and healthy can be a significant strategy in boosting immunity
in this post-COVID-19 era.

Authors: Landré Sophie , Ader Florence , Epaulard Olivier , Tattevin Pierre , Stahl Jean Paul , Mailles Alexandra ,   on behalf of the Steering committee and Investigators
Published: February 2024

Background

Data on infectious encephalitis in immunodeficient (ID) individuals are scarce. This population may present with atypical clinical symptoms, be infected by uncommon pathogens and develop poor outcomes.

Aim

We aimed to describe the epidemiology of infectious encephalitis among HIV-negative ID patients.

Methods

Patients from the ENCEIF (Etude Nationale de Cohorte des Encéphalites Infectieuses en France) prospective cohort meeting criteria for infectious encephalitis between January 2016 and December 2019 were included. We compared clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results, biological results, infection causes and outcome of ID patients with immunocompetent (IC) patients using Pearson’s chi-squared test and Student’s t-test. We carried out logistic regression to assess the role of immunodeficiency as risk factor for poor outcome.

Results

ID patients (n = 58) were older (mean 72 vs 59 years), had higher prevalence of diabetes (26% vs 12%), pre-existing neurological disorders (12% vs 5%) and higher case-fatality rate (23.6% vs 5.6%) compared to IC patients (n = 436). Varicella zoster virus was the primary cause of encephalitis in ID patients (this aetiology was more frequent in ID (25.9%) than in IC patients (11.5%)), with herpes simplex virus second (22.4% in ID patients vs 27.3% in IC patients). Immunodeficiency was an independent risk factor for death or major sequelae (odds ratio: 3.41, 95%CI: 1.70–6.85).

Conclusions

Varicella zoster virus is the most frequent cause of infectious encephalitis in ID patients. Immunodeficiency is a major risk factor for poor outcome. ID encephalitis patients should benefit from stringent investigation of cause and early empiric treatment.
The Main Forms of Advanced Training of Soviet Censors in the Second Half of the 1940s (proceeding from the materials of the State Archives of Kirovohrad Oblast)
Authors: Pozdniakova Inna
Published: February 2024

The article aims to study the main forms of advanced training of Soviet censors in the second half of the 1940s. The scientific novelty is presented by the fact that the problem has not been studied in Ukrainian historiography in such a statement and within such a chronological framework. The research methodology is grounded on a combination of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, and generalization) and specialhistorical (historical-typological, historical-systemic, and historical-genetic) methods. The research is based on the principles of historicism, systematicity and scientific knowledge. It has been found that professional training of censors was carried out directly at the workplace. Several forms of advanced training were applied in parallel, namely: professional training, seminars, meetings of censorship workers (at regional, republican and all-Union levels) and the party education system. The main forms of control over the level of information assimilation by the censors necessary for the implementation of the tasks set before them by the Soviet authorities have been highlighted and considered. In particular, such forms of control included passing technical minimums and execution of training exercises on knowledge of the “List of information prohibited for publication in the open press”. The analysis of the sources proved that the majority of the censorship employees were self-taught, since no educational institution in the country trained specialists for the needs of Soviet censorship. The lack of experience and practical skills of employees of censorship bodies affected the quality of the censorship system work in general. Therefore, the Holovlit of the Ukrainian SSR controlled the professional training of censors constantly. The regime had to spend a lot of time training all new employees and regularly monitor the performance of the tasks assigned to them. The employees of the censorship bodies systematically raised their ideological and political level because they were to become the conductors of the comprehensive ideological control of the Soviet government and interfere in the creative process, professional activity and private life of citizens.
The Creation of Arresting Departments at the Maritime Authority in Kherson Governance
Authors: Korotkyi Oleksii
Published: February 2024

The article examines the process of formation of arresting departments at the Maritime Authority in Mykolaiv. The reasons underlying the creation of maritime arresting departments and the difficulties that arose during their formation are analysed. In particular, it is found that the main reason was the need for cheap labor for the active development of Mykolaiv and the strengthening of the Black Sea Fleet. Sources of equipment and replenishment of the arresting companies, as well as their location and role in the process of Mykolaiv urbanization and the development of the Black Sea Fleet are studied. The detainees were mostly convicted military men who were transferred from other places of imprisonment to ensure the construction of important facilities of the city and the navy. A large part of the detainees was filled with beggars. The use of their work contributed to the development of the infrastructure of Mykolaiv as an important seaport. The management system of detention centers and their internal structure are also investigated. The detainees were at a low level of the social hierarchy, their rights were limited, and their activities were subject to strict military control. It is concluded that the arresting companies were founded in order to build the infrastructure of Mykolaiv, to meet the needs of the Black Sea Fleet and, in general, to militarize forced labor in the empire in the first half of the 19th century.
Corporate and Personal Relations among the Literary Intelligentsia in the 1920s
Authors: Bon Oleksandr
Published: February 2024

The article examines the important issue of corporate and personal relations among the literary intelligentsia in the 1920s, which influenced significantly the development of not only the literary and artistic process but the course of the ideologization of cultural life in Soviet Ukraine as well. By examining the formation and confrontation of literary groups, the author investigates the consequences of the struggle in the intelligentsia’s environment. Besides, highlighting interpersonal relations, the author shows its influence on the results of the writers’ activity in the conditions of Ukrainization and pressure from the totalitarian state. The turbulent literary process in the 1920s was largely defined by the presence of various movements and groups in the USSR (Ukrainian Socialistic Soviet Republic) among literary figures. They waged a fierce, often destructive ideological struggle. The Bolshevik regime was able to give this struggle the character of an ideological confrontation and, consequently, to transfer it to the political area. Thus, in the conditions of totalitarian communist discourse the Soviet authorities got the opportunity to use this circumstance as a ground for political and physical destruction. At the same time, it was very difficult for the Bolshevik authorities to control horizontal corporate, and especially personal, ties. That is why the process of constant surveillance of literary and artistic figures was launched. The examples of H. Kosynka, M. Khvylovyi, and other writers show that this process was aimed not only at total control, but also at influencing the environment of cultural figures. This influence had an impact on the formation of an atmosphere of general fear and widespread distrust in the society of the cultural and artistic elite. And, as a consequence, the severance of horizontal ties, atomization and institutional weakening of the literary and artistic intelligentsia. It is determined that the Ukrainian literary and artistic intelligentsia in the paradigm of its own vision of the goals and objectives of Ukrainization, which were different from those of the governing Party, actually became a counter-elite for the Bolshevik party. This was the fundamental reason for the confrontation between the regime and the writers of the 1920s. Having used corporate and personal confrontation among writers, the Communist Party soon began to destroy intellectuals in Soviet Ukraine.
Magnetized Seeds and Structured Water: Effects on Resilience of Velvet Bean Seedlings (Mucuna pruriens) under Deficit Irrigation
Authors: Ramsey Craig L.
Published: February 2024

A custom-built water generator supplied structured water (SW) for applying the deficit irrigation treatments to velvet bean plants (Mucuns pruriens). The objectives of the study were to 1) determine the effects of magnetized seed treatment on velvet bean plants, 2) determine the effects of magnetized and hydroxylated water treatments on velvet bean plants, and 4) determine the effects of deficit irrigation, using three soil moisture levels, on velvet bean plants. The optimal water-saving treatment was magnetized seeds plus 10 MT + HWT. This treatment had a 226% increase in transpiration and a 22% increase in water vapor concentration in the intercellular airspace for the low soil moisture watering schedule. The three study factors in the optimal seed and water treatment had a synchronistic effect for enhancing metabolic efficiency by increasing whole plant WUE by 87% and carbon assimilation efficiency by 66% in the low soil moisture schedule. Plants irrigated with SW water and grown from magnetized seeds had enhanced resilience to high water stress conditions by maintaining adequate levels of biologically structured water. The rapid deactivation of a suite of highly interconnected defense activities in the optimal seed and water treatments implies that the plants exhibit macroscopic coherence properties. Coherence at the macroscopic level resulted in complex synchronization between metabolic efficiency, plant health, and deactivation of a suite of regulatory defenses in plants exposed to high water stress.
O TRABALHO INFANTIL COMO MANIFESTAÇÃO CULTURAL INDÍGENA E A ANTINOMIA ENTRE OS ARTIGOS 7º, XXXIII, E 231 DA CONSTITUIÇÃO DA REPÚBLICA
Authors: Souza André Luis Nacer de
Published: February 2024

A Constituição da República proíbe trabalho para menores de 16 anos, exceto na condição de aprendiz, desde que a partir dos 14 anos (artigo 7º, XXXIII). Da mesma forma, a Carta Constitucional reconheceu aos indígenas sua organização social, costumes, línguas, crenças e tradições (artigo 231), o que é entendido como o reconhecimento constitucional do direito consuetudinário indígena. É certo que cada povo indígena concede à infância um significado distinto, da mesma forma que a idade em que o indivíduo é reconhecido como adulto varia de acordo com a comunidade. A despeito da diversidade cultural entre os povos indígenas, os estudos antropológicos evidenciam que, em geral, a criança indígena é dotada de notável autonomia, sendo desde cedo integrada à vida dos adultos, o que faz com que suas atividades rotineiras sejam parecidas com as dos mais velhos, inclusive em relação ao trabalho. Verifica-se, nessas situações, conflito entre artigo 7º, XXXIII, e o artigo 231, ambos da Constituição da República. Neste trabalho, através de pesquisa bibliográfica, pretende-se analisar o conflito existente entre os referidos dispositivos constitucionais, objetivando-se encontrar solução que, do ponto de vista jurídico, seja adequada à solução da antinomia. Ao final, através de método dedutivo, será analisada criticamente, inclusive sob o ponto de vista antropológico, a questão do trabalho precoce fruto de manifestação cultural indígena.
“CUIDADO, BURACO REPORTADO NA VIA”: WAZE DATA FOR CITIES COMO INSTRUMENTO DA DEMOCRACIA DIGITAL NAS CIDADES INTELIGENTES BRASILEIRAS?

Published: February 2024

Com a introdução da tecnologia na vida diária, surgiram diversos instrumentos para a gestão da cidade, com destaque para o aplicativo Waze, reconhecido por ser um mapa colaborativo que oferece as melhores rotas para deslocamento, além de permitir a participação ativa dos usuários para aprimorar a confiabilidade das informações relacionadas ao trânsito. Pela grande quantidade de usuários e a participação deles nessa rede social, várias cidades do mundo passaram a realizar parceria com a Google, empresa que comanda o aplicativo, a fim de que as informações fornecidas pelos usuários fossem repassadas para a Administração Pública, permitindo uma gestão mais participativa e assertiva nas políticas públicas a serem implantadas. Neste sentido, o artigo questiona se o Waze Data for Cities se torna suficiente instrumento de construção de um modelo de cidade baseada na participação popular por meio da tecnologia. Diante disso, possui como objetivo geral a análise do programa de compartilhamento como possível instrumento de construção de cidadania na gestão pública responsável pelo planejamento urbano. De forma específica, busca entender o conceito de Cidade Inteligente; refletir se a utilização do aplicativo em questão pode se mostrar instrumento suficiente de uma administração pública dialógica. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa aqui realizada se mostrou como qualitativa e descritiva, prevalecendo-se a utilização da pesquisa bibliográfica, que se caracteriza pela busca de informações material impresso ou digital. Conclui, em suma, que o Estado deve não apenas estar preparado para receber informações provenientes das interações dos usuários, mas também ser proativo ao oferecer novas oportunidades e compartilhar seu poder de planejamento.
O DIREITO DA EDUCAÇÃO ACESSÍVEL DO UNIVERSITÁRIO COM DEFICIÊNCIA VISUAL NO ENSINO SUPERIOR
Authors: Kamata Gabriela Soares
Published: February 2024

A educação é um direito inscrito na Constituição Federal de 1988 como um direito fundamental social, portanto, de acesso universal, cuja prestação demanda uma atuação ativa do Poder Público. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo tem como tema central refletir sobre o direito constitucional de ingresso, inclusão, acessibilidade e efetividade para o portador com deficiência visual no ensino superior. Portanto, objetivou-se, de modo geral, analisar normas nacionais que asseguram o direito constitucional da educação quanto ao ingresso nas universidades, a inclusão, a acessibilidade e a efetividade da política pública das cotas. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, foi utilizado o método hipotético-dedutivo com o objetivo exploratório-descritivo, além da coleta de dados bibliográficos e em sites oficiais. Posto isso, identificou-se que educandos com deficiência visual, historicamente discriminados e segregados, estão sob proteção no âmbito constitucional e legal, além de possuírem direitos consagrados como inclusão e acessibilidade no direito constitucional da educação superior, e ações afirmativas das cotas e políticas públicas. Ademais, observou-se que enfrentam dificuldades no sentido de concretização do exercício pleno do direito da educação no ensino superior e de efetividade das cotas na universidade pública.

O presente artigo acadêmico almeja oferecer contribuições à Criminologia no exame dos atos antidemocráticos de 8 de janeiro de 2023, à luz do diálogo entre as perspectivas psicanalítica, existencial, marxista e decolonial. Verificou-se que, no bojo dos atos antidemocráticos de 8 de janeiro de 2023, encontra-se o componente sádico do capitalismo, principalmente o financeiro, o qual se vale dessas mobilizações políticas de índole reacionária para empobrecer a classe média e rebaixar, ainda mais, a renda dos pobres. Percebeu-se que, ao se vandalizar a Praça dos Três Poderes, manifestava-se o masoquismo do sujeito de desconsiderar o bem-estar próprio e da sua família, no longo prazo, em nome do gozo imediato, ao apelar à violência institucional e grupal.

A Amazônia abrange uma riqueza de conhecimento, cultura e biodiversidade, bem como a identidade e sabedoria únicas de seus habitantes. Estas comunidades tradicionais não só residem nesta região, mas também se envolvem ativamente com a terra. Consequentemente,
a elaboração de narrativas que aprofundem o cotidiano desse povo, destacando as suas interações com os animais, a natureza e os contos, serve como forma de transmitir e trocar as provações, os triunfos e as experiências globais de quem convive de forma harmoniosa e
responsável com o seu entorno.
O conceito por trás deste livro originou-se da profunda compreensão e sabedoria das comunidades tradicionais, ribeirinhos, caboclos, agricultores, especificamente do profundo conhecimento da sua própria sociedade e das paisagens submersas da ilha do Marajó, no Pará,
localizada na região amazônica. Para incentivar a criação dos contos escritos centrados nesses temas, nos inspiramos na abundante biodiversidade e nos elementos naturais de grande significado para os povos da Amazônia.
É essencial compreender o significado destas narrativas, pois servem como manifestação dos distintos pontos de vista e laços emocionais que os autores têm com o seu entorno.
Estas histórias demonstram eloquentemente a intrincada relação entre o ambiente, os encontros diários, os princípios pessoais e as ambições. Em última análise, as obras expostas são uma homenagem ao legado cultural variado e vibrante das comunidades campesiana, promovendo um sentimento de unidade na sociedade.
Através deste projeto, os autores tiveram a oportunidade de aprimorar uma infinidade de habilidades e capacidades, incluindo, mas não se limitando, a leitura, escrita, conversação, criatividade, pensamento crítico, independência, colaboração, envolvimento cívico e apreciação pelo seu ambiente natural. Além disso, esta iniciativa tem o potencial de reforçar o patrimônio cultural e a autenticidade da Amazônia brasileira, ao mesmo tempo em que amplia seu conhecimento e compreensão de seu diversificado ecossistema.

Pharmacogenetics in hypertension is a field of study that aims to understand how interindividual genetic variability can influence the response to medications used to treat high blood pressure, which is a common cardiovascular condition. This approach aims to analyze the pharmacogenetic impact on arterial hypertension. Currently, a wide range of genetic variants have been identified that can affect an individual's response to antihypertensive medications. For example, some genes can influence how the body metabolizes medications, affecting the dosage needed to achieve adequate blood pressure control. Other genes may be related to susceptibility to adverse side effects. Pharmacogenetics in hypertension allows doctors to make more informed decisions about which medication to prescribe to a patient based on their genetic profile. This can increase the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce the likelihood of unwanted side effects. Additionally, this approach may be particularly useful in cases of refractory hypertension, where patients do not respond to conventional therapies. Pharmacogenetics in hypertension is a growing field that seeks to personalize the treatment of this common cardiovascular condition. By understanding how individual genes affect responses to medications, doctors can make treatments more precisely to improve blood pressure control and reduce side effects. However, it is important to note that, although promising, this approach is still in development and is not widely available in clinical practice.

The integration of ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Human Resources (HR) has emerged as a critical aspect of organizational management, reflecting a paradigm shift in business dynamics towards sustainability and societal well-being. This paper provides a comprehensive review of policies and practices pertaining to ethics and CSR in HR, shedding light on the evolving landscape of responsible corporate conduct. In recent years, organizations have recognized the profound impact HR policies and practices can have on the ethical fabric of the workplace. This review examines the multifaceted dimensions of ethics in HR, encompassing recruitment, employee relations, training, and performance evaluation. It underscores the importance of fostering a culture of fairness, diversity, and inclusivity in HR processes, acknowledging the pivotal role HR plays in shaping the organizational ethos. Moreover, the paper delves into the intricate relationship between CSR and HR, emphasizing the role of HR in implementing and championing CSR initiatives. Companies are increasingly acknowledging their societal responsibilities and are aligning HR strategies with broader CSR goals. This involves addressing social and environmental concerns, promoting community engagement, and ensuring ethical supply chain practices. The paper explores the mechanisms through which HR can effectively contribute to the fulfillment of CSR commitments. Furthermore, the review examines emerging trends and best practices in ethics and CSR in HR. It considers the adoption of technology, the incorporation of sustainable HR practices, and the development of metrics for measuring social impact. The paper concludes by highlighting the imperative for organizations to align HR policies and practices with ethical principles and CSR goals, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between responsible HR management and sustainable business success. As organizations navigate an era of heightened societal expectations, a strategic integration of ethics and CSR in HR emerges as a cornerstone for fostering a socially responsible and ethically sound corporate environment.

Web 2.0 communication tools have great potential to support collaborative learning. However, it is essential to conduct research into how learners and teachers have experienced the use of new communication tools, such as discussion forums. In this contribution, our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborative learning environment linked to a discussion forum in the context of e-learning. We examine the use of forums as a communication tool in learning contexts across four stages of the learning process via a Learning Management System (LMS) platform. We will focus on the specific integration and management of the forum at each stage, and how forums can be strategically and effectively integrated into each stage of the educational process, fostering constructive interaction and collaborative learning throughout.
Obesity and chronic kidney disease: What specificity of this association and what epidemiological profile? A prospective study

Obesity is accompanied by chronic diseases including cardiometabolic diseases. Obesity is also an independent factor of renal risk that deserves to be taken into account. The aims of our work were to determine the prevalence of chronic kidney disease related to obesity independently of all other usual risk factors and to describe its epidemiological characteristics in our population. We conducted a prospective descriptive and analytic study over a period of 12 months in 38 patients over 18 years of age, with a BMI> 30 Kg / m² and without diabetes, hypertension, or other apparent cause chronic kidney disease, collected at the consulting service of the Military Hospital Avicenna of Marrakech, Morocco. The average age of our patients was 38 years with a female predominance (sex ratio (m/w) of 0.80). The average BMI was 35.35 kg / m². Dyslipidemia was found in 68.42% of patients, hyperuricemia in 18.42%, microalbuminuria in 13.15%, macroalbuminuria in 7.89% and hematuria in 2.6%. Glomerular hyperfiltration was present in 13.15% of cases and no patient had a GFR <60 ml / min / 1.73m². The prevalence of chronic kidney disease among obese people in our population was 10.5%. Older obese patients with high BMI, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hyper LDLemia were the most affected, with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups of patients with and without chronic kidney disease (P <0.05). Our study warn of the need for cost-effective and well-adapted prevention measures to reverse the growing epidemic of obesity in the world.

This study aims to analyze whether antibodies produced through multiple vaccinations of a synthetic Binder of Sperm Protein-1 (BSP-1) epitope to local rabbits, can react against BSP-1 found in the ruminant sperm. BSP-1 is one of the biomarkers suggested to authenticate sire fertility. The method used was immunoblot assay against frozen semen of Bali cattle and local buffalo, also against the extracts of the caput-, and cauda- epididymis, as well as the testis of the buffalo. Analyses showed that the antibodies reacted to antigens found in the frozen semen of cattle and buffalo. The most notable result was that the antibody reacted specifically to buffalo frozen semen. No reactions occurred to the extracts of the caput-, and cauda-epididymis, as well as to the testis of the buffalo. Further research is needed to ascertain whether the antibody can be used to develop a sire fertility detection kit.
A model of a systematic description of argot units incorporated into the fabric of a literary text (based on the novel “Sang dessus dessous” by Claude Izner)
Authors: Vysotskaya Anna Sergeevna
Published: February 2024

As a part of testing the intermediate results of a study of the argotic component in a literary work, this paper examines the elements of traditional and general argot incorporated into the fabric of the modern French crime novel. The model of a multidimensional argot analysis, first proposed by E. M. Beregovskaya and subsequently supplemented by T. I. Retinskaya, allows us to give a versatile characterization of uncodified elements that exist in the everyday speech of representatives of various professional groups. The paper attempts to test a model of a systematic description of argot units compiled on the basis of the key elements of the model of a multidimensional argot analysis and supplemented by the following components: 1) a portrait of the characters using argot units; 2) a functional analysis of argot blocks; 3) a description of the author’s nonce words recorded in the novel. Thus, the aim of the research is to form an algorithm for describing argot units that illuminates the stylistic functions of non-conventional lexemes in a literary text to the fullest extent. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the components analyzed in this paper were previously used separately, they are being implemented for the first time within the framework of an aggregate model. As a result of the research, the algorithm for a systematic characterization of uncodified lexemes recorded in the text of a literary work has been formed.
