Authors: Lopes Cleber , Costa Aldemar
Published: May 2023

Perceber as possibilidades da utilização do Design Didático como um recurso pedagógico que auxilie o docente da área de Psicologia da Educação, na promoção de uma melhoria na didática e desenvolvimento da disciplina e aprendizagem do educando é muito relevante. Para isso, a pesquisa do tipo bibliográfica busca mostrar a importância da Psicologia da Educação e o desenvolvimento humano e da aprendizagem com o uso de Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação. Focar dentro do contexto de como o design didático pode auxiliar no processo de ensino e da aprendizagem através do desenvolvimento de transposições didáticas eficientes e eficazes e observar como o design didático vem sendo aplicado na educação e como pode servir de recurso que potencialize o ensino-aprendizagem, pode contribuir para a área da formação docente. A busca por recursos pedagógicos que auxiliem no aperfeiçoamento do ensino e da aprendizagem tem sido constante, motivando esse levantamento bibliográfico. Foram inclusas publicações dos últimos cinco anos, das bases da dados, SciELO, BDTD e CAPES, no idioma oficial brasileiro. Foi possível perceber que apesar do design didático ser algo relativamente recente no Brasil, em outros países já foi vastamente pesquisado e aplicado, integrando diversas disciplinas. A partir dessa pesquisa, após as buscas e investigações, acerca de tudo que relacionava-se ao problema, concluiu-se que é recomendado aos docentes da disciplina de Psicologia da Educação que, ao aplicarem o design didático em prol de levar a uma prática didática com melhores resultados, trabalhe-se observando os métodos utilizados para o desenvolvimento de um efetivo design didático, com o objetivo de facilitar o processo de ensino e da aprendizagem de seus docentes.

Published: May 2023

Há vários relatos na literatura científica que demonstram uma associação positiva entre o consumo de hortaliças e frutas na prevenção das Doenças Crônicas (DC), relacionado a presença de fibras e compostos antioxidantes. Alguns frutos brasileiros apresentam alta capacidade antioxidante, entre eles os frutos do Cerrado, o que desperta interesse em estudar esses alimentos. O jatobá (Hymenaea spp.), uma leguminosa, com polpa seca e sabor bem peculiar, é um fruto consumido in natura ou em preparações diversas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver um produto nutritivo com farinha de jatobá, para isso, após sua confecção foram realizadas análise sensorial para verificação de aceitabilidade através de escala hedônica de 9 pontos com 50 provadores (não treinados) e estudos da composição centesimal nutricional e da capacidade antioxidante. O pão apresentou boa aceitabilidade em todos atributos avaliados (cor, sabor, textura e avaliação geral), dando destaque à textura que obteve a maior média de notas. Foi verificado alto teor de fibras e baixa atividade antioxidante quando comparado a outros frutos como tucum-do-Cerrado, araticum e lobeira. Portanto, pode-se concluir que o produto elaborado pode ser uma alternativa para o consumo de um produto com boa composição nutricional, contribuindo também para o consumo sustentável de frutos brasileiros.
Docência online: possibilidades e limites do trabalho pedagógico sob a perspectiva da teoria histórico-cultural e do ensino desenvolvimental
Authors: Araújo Cláudia Helena dos Santos , Rodrigues Olira Saraiva
Published: May 2023

Este texto tem como objetivo apresentar uma reflexão sobre a docência online, embasada nas abordagens histórico-cultural e Ensino Desenvolvimental. Para tanto, foi utilizado como campo empírico de pesquisa o curso "Docência Online". A necessidade de refletir sobre os processos pedagógicos na educação a distância foi o ponto de partida para esta investigação. Metodologicamente, utilizou-se os fundamentos didáticos do Ensino Desenvolvimental sustentados em Vasily Vasilovich Davydov para a criação do curso docência online e dos fundamentos teóricos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural para discussão e análise dos dados. Embora os estudos acerca do trabalho pedagógico tenham avançado na Teoria Histórico-Cultural, no Ensino Desenvolvimental ainda há um enfoque estruturalista que pode limitar a atuação do professor. Conclui-se que o trabalho docente pode ser estruturalista no pensamento pedagógico do Ensino Desenvolvimental e apresenta-se a possibilidade de recorrer à outra base crítica da Pedagogia, como contribuição de pesquisa ao campo da Educação.
Blogs e narrativas na educação: decifrando-me
Authors: Iop Maria Cristina Rigão , Rigão Maria Helena
Published: May 2023

Usando como base teórica o paradigma da complexidade, apoiada em autores como Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela e Edgar Morin, proponho algumas reflexões a partir de uma atividade com narrativas para a recuperação do sujeito autor. A intenção foi perturbar os jovens através do uso de blogs, envolvendo auto-experiência e autonomia, de forma que eles construam conhecimento/subjetividade de forma inseparável, considerando o acoplamento humano/máquina. As narrativas mostram o processo de constituição de si e da cognição emergindo junto, através da produção de significados para o viver, reconfigurando sua história de vida e elevando seu nível de complexidade. À medida que me envolvo no processo, começo a pensar em todos os implicados, entra aí a emoção e então começo a aprender. As narrativas permitem fazer uma leitura das emoções, do encantamento, do aprender e do compreender. É uma tomada de consciência de si mesmo, do processo de viver, das interações sociais. É uma construção que tem lugar num processo de reflexão, pois educar é o processo de conviver com o outro e se transformar de forma recíproca. Somos educados no educar.

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a saúde mental e a capacidade funcional de idosos, com indícios de declínio funcional e fragilidade e a relação com a ocupação durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Tratou-se de um estudo descritivo e transversal, realizado, com 71 idosos com indícios de declínio funcional e fragilidade beneficiários do serviço da Confederação Nacional das Cooperativas Médicas (Unimed) Planalto Central. A capacidade funcional foi avaliada por meio das Atividades básicas (índice de Katz) e instrumentais (Índice de Lawton/Brody), da vida diária (ABVDs e AIVDs) e a saúde mental por meio do questionário para rastreio do risco para depressão (GDS-15). Os dados foram analisados por meio da frequência relativa e absoluta. Para identificação da associação entre as variáveis foi utilizado o teste exato de Fischer (p≤0,05). A maioria dos participantes eram do sexo masculino, com idade acima de 80 anos aposentados sem ocupação, com escolaridade de 1 a 4 anos, apresentando comorbidades. Quanto às ABVDs, 347,9% dos idosos eram independentes, 43,7% parcialmente independentes e 8,5% dependentes. Em relação às AIVDs, a maioria, tanto dos idosos sem ocupação (100%), quanto os com ocupação (51,9%) apresentaram Independência total. Os resultados em relação ao rastreio de depressão mostraram que metade (50%) dos idosos apresentaram grau leve de depressão, 34,4% dentro da normalidade e 15,6% grau grave. Evidenciou-se ainda uma associação estatisticamente significativa entre: ABVDs e Sexo (p=0,031), sendo os homens mais independentes em relação as mulheres, AIVDs e ocupação (p = 0,048) e saúde mental e ocupação (p = 0.004), sendo os idosos aposentados com ocupação mais saudáveis mentalmente em relação aos aposentados sem nenhum tipo de ocupação. 35,7% dos idosos aposentados com ocupação apresentaram algum grau de depressão enquanto 88,9% dos idosos sem ocupação apresentaram algum grau de depressão. Após análise dos dados foi possível concluir que, manter-se com algum tipo de ocupação mesmo após a aposentadoria se mostra como um fator protetor para a capacidade ficcional e saúde mental de idosos.

Authors: Butik Mariane , De Andrade Camila Kulek , Quináia Sueli Pércio
Published: May 2023

Tea is one of the most consumed non-alcoholic beverages, second only to water. Medicinal plants are commonly used because they are beneficial to health. Among the several plants used whit this aim, Miconia albicans (MA), widely used for joint pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory processes, and Senna alexandrina (SA), indicated for constipation and even for slimming treatments stand out. However, a little number of researches concerned with the chemical composition of these plants can be found in the literature. Thus, this work aimed to determine metallic ions in MA and SA teas using an atomic absorption spectrometer. In vitro experiments with a simulation of the gastrointestinal digestion processes were also performed (to evaluate bioaccessibility) – after in house validation – using gastric and intestinal juice. Total phenolics and total flavonoids of teas and bioaccessible fractions were also quantified. 3 samples of MA and 5 of SA were analyzed. In all samples, the total and bioaccessible concentrations of Ca, Cu and Mg were quantified. The antioxidant activity of the teas showed that, for the total phenolic content, the concentration ranged from 22 ± 1 to 29 ± 3 mg g-1, the bioaccessible fraction was close to 90% for the two studied plants. For total flavonoids, the bioaccessible fractions range from 60% (MA) to 90% (SA).

Validação de um modelo numérico de conversor de energia das ondas do mar do tipo placa horizontal submersa por meio do uso do refinamento de malha do tipo stretched
Authors: Batista Rodrigo Costa , Gomes Mateus das Neves , Isoldi Liércio André , De Oliveira Sersana Sabedra
Published: May 2023

O crescimento populacional e industrial aliado ao consumismo de bens materiais, tem aumentado significativamente a demanda de energia nos últimos anos e impactado o meio ambiente em proporções ainda maiores, tendendo à um aumento ainda maior. Estima-se que a demanda energética no mundo aumentará em 35% até 2040. Com a matriz energética nacional composta com cerca de 65% de fonte hidráulica, e diante das alterações climáticas, possíveis desabastecimentos em reservatórios podem provocar racionamento energético em regiões do país. Apesar da matriz energética do Brasil apresentar em grande parte de sua composição fontes renováveis, faz-se necessário a busca pela diminuição da dependência da energia hidroelétrica, diante desta problemática torna-se necessário buscar novas alternativas de geração de energia, de modo a garantir o desenvolvimento econômico do país. Uma possibilidade é o aproveitamento da energia proveniente das ondas do mar para geração de energia elétrica, uma vez que o Brasil tem como característica o uso de fontes de energias que impactam menos ao meio ambiente e possuir um extenso litoral para a exploração. Diversos estudos têm sido realizados sobre a utilização de placas horizontais submersas (PHS) com o intuito de explorar a energia presente nas ondas dos mares. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo validar um modelo numérico por meio do uso do refinamento da malha em regiões de interesse do domínio computacional. Para isso empregou-se no presente trabalho o método dos volumes finitos com o uso dos códigos dos pacotes comerciais de CFD, os quais são divididos em três etapas principais: o pré-processamento, a solução e o pós-processamento. Os resultados permitiram realizar a verificação da onda numérica e validação do modelo computacional.

Published: May 2023

Applying structural health monitoring techniques has become very important in engineering and aeronautics. The technique based on electromechanical impedance is one of them. In this work, the electromechanical impedance-based SHM technique is applied to determine the existence of damage in an aluminum beam using the Root Square Deviation (RMSD) damage metric. Furthermore, this contribution aims to apply the concept of stochastic evaluation in the context of the electromechanical impedance-based SHM technique by using the Monte Carlo method to generate random numbers. The development of the work is to validate two models, one with the impedance signals and the other stochastically, and thus build the linear regression model for both. In the end, the results are compared to test the representation of the failure identification in the beam.
Carbohydrate Metabolism in Growth Hormone Therapy for Children
Authors: Dhbea Mithal , Alabdaly Abdilya
Published: May 2023

Growth hormone deficiency is one of the most common causes of short stature in response to growth hormone therapy, and deficiency occurs as a result of either a decrease in the pituitary hormones themselves, which is called hypopituitarism, or a deficiency of hypothalamus. Stunting is a condition that worries many parents because if the body’s growth hormone deficiency is not diagnosed and the appropriate treatment is not taken early, which leads to a high body mass index, that is, weight gain after puberty, high fat and future risks. For type 2 diabetes, diabetes, insulin-dependent heart disease, atherosclerosis and other diseases, the incidence of this deficiency in European societies is about 4000/1 births which is comparable with the proportion in Iraq but increasing the incidence. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of growth hormone therapy on carbohydrate metabolism where growth hormone affects the shape and function of the developing body and apart from these functions such as stimulating growth, it has distinctive effects on the metabolism and energy, and plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels.

CONSUMER PROTECTION FOR VEHICLE WITHDRAWAL BY DEBT COLLECTOR IN LEASING AGREEMENTS IN WHICH CONSUMERS DEFAULT BASED ON BPSK AUTHORITY
Authors: Dliyaa Us Saabihaat
Published: May 2023

In Indonesia, there are various forms of financial institutions, which one is leasing. In the practice of lease agreements, there are risks that can become obstacles in the implementation of the lease agreement, which are generally caused by default on the part of the lessee. The existence of a leasing agreement originates from the principle of freedom of contract which is regulated in Article 1338 of the Civil Code which states that all agreements made legally are valid as laws for those who make them. In writing this research, the researcher examines the consumer protection in an agreement made in standard, which then in its implementation creates default from one of the parties. The problem is, whether the default arising from the implementation of the agreement is a consumer violation. Consumer violations as regulated in Article 4 of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection which do not include true, clear and honest information regarding the provisions and guarantees of goods and/or services in the agreement, whether they can qualify as default, as intended in Article 52 Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection regarding the duties of BPSK. The problem in this study is how to protect consumers from vehicle withdrawals by debt collectors in leasing agreements where consumers default on the authority of BPSK and what legal remedies can be taken by the consumer due to the withdrawal of vehicles by the dept collector in the leasing agreement. This study uses a normative juridical approach, data sources are obtained from statutory regulations, and literature related to the problem. In this case, consumers must be more critical and thorough in reading and understanding standard clauses such as the rights and obligations of the parties, the time the agreement is due, and the legal consequences if they cannot fulfill their obligations (default), and know that the financing agreement has already been reached. in accordance with the applicable rules.

Gender Disparities in Access to and Flow Rates of Secondary Schooling in Gamo and Gofa Zones, Ethiopia
Authors: Mekuria Girma , Bekele Eshete Petros
Published: May 2023

Abstract

This study intended to examine the status of gender disparities in enrollments, retentions, and promotion rates in secondary schooling in Gamo and Gofa zones. We employed a large-scale archival database to examine gender disparities in secondary schooling processes. In this aspect, we collected numerical data about access, dropouts, repetitions, and promotions from the recorded database of the sample zones. The collected numerical data were organized in excel Microsoft 2010 and computed the gender gap in secondary schooling processes. The results revealed the overall status of gender disparities in secondary schooling processes. Accordingly, the gender disparity status was closing; nevertheless, the advantage still favors male students over female students in enrollment and promotion rates. However, male students were at risk compared to female students in dropouts and repetition rates in grades 9-12 classroom exams for four consecutive years, 2015-2018. Yet, in grade 10 national exam and grade 12 national entrance exam scores, male students were advantageous over female students except for the low scorers (<50%) in the grade 12 natural sciences stream, in which the advantage favored female students over male students. In sum, we conclude that gender disparity advantages are still for male students over female students except in completion rates where boys are at learning risk compared to girls in secondary schools in Gamo and Gofa zones.

Choose Compassion: Why It Matters and How It Works (2022) by James Kirby. University of Queensland Press. ISBN: 9780702265648
Authors: Gilbert Paul
Published: May 2023

One of Australia’s leading compassion researchers, Dr. James Kirby employs science and real-world cases to argue that compassion is the most important human motivation to harness in today’s world. Citing the benefits of compassion training exercises for life struggles including self-criticism, shame, grief, parenting, depression, and anxiety, Kirby draws on findings from the University of Queensland’s Compassionate Mind Research Group, of which he is co-director. Debunking the myth that compassion is a soft or weak emotion, he examines fears, blocks, and resistances we and our clients may have to compassion, which he defines as the courageous and wise motivation to turn towards suffering and try to alleviate it. Reviewer Prof. Paul Gilbert, who developed compassion focused therapy, applauds how Choose Compassion: Why it matters and how it works (Kirby, 2022) takes on big themes, such as the inevitability of suffering and loss, and makes them understandable and accessible to readers. Despite climate change, mass extinctions, genocide, wars, and the capacity of humans to be callous and contradictory, Kirby’s message is ultimately one of hope.
The Evolution of Waqf and Sukuk toward Sukuk-Waqf in Modern Islamic Economy
Authors: Khairunnisa Musari
Published: May 2023

Waqf have played a significant role throughout Islamic civilization history. In the past, sukuk had been used for international trade in Muslim territory in the Middle Ages as a recognition check or document or letter of liabilities of a person who requested deferred his time to certain parties. Today, waqf and sukuk have evoluted toward a new instrument known as sukuk-waqf. Sukuk-waqf become an innovation for economic sustainability, a panacea in solving the humanitarian funding gap, a brand for charity fundraising or humanity causes, and modern scheme to develope waqf assets. There are two kind of sukuk-waqf, i.e. sukuk linked waqf and waqf linked sukuk. In modern Islamic economy, both of them have three functions, i.e. as the investment function, support the velocity of money, and a tool to reach the sustainable development.
Reconfiguration du rapport ville/tourisme de masse en contexte de crise: cas de la ville de Monastir à l’épreuve de la Covid-19
Authors: Hellal Mohamed
Published: May 2023

Dans les années 1970, l’État tunisien a aménagé la zone touristique Skanès-Monastir. Il s’agit d’une série d’hôtels qui a évolué en parallèle à la ligne de rivage. Malgré la réalisation de plusieurs équipements structurants (marina, deux parcours de golf…), le secteur du tourisme, à Monastir, subit, aujourd’hui, de plein fouet, les conséquences de la crise du tourisme de masse. Ainsi, la ville même de Monastir vit-elle une évolution urbaine problématique, en partie en raison du développement de sa fonction touristique et résidentielle. À cet effet, nous relevons une tendance de reconstruction du rapport ville/tourisme en faveur d’une « hybridation croisée » entre les espaces touristiques et ceux relevant d’un urbanisme ordinaire. Ainsi, à l’occasion de la crise liée au Covid-19, nous assistons à la confirmation de la tendance de l’introduction du service médical dans la zone touristique, en rapport avec l’image et la spécificité universitaire et médicale de la ville-même de Monastir.

Decoding of the neural representation of the visual RGB color model
Authors: Wu Yijia , Mao Yanjing , Feng Kaiqiang , Wei Donglai , Song Liang
Published: May 2023

RGB color is a basic visual feature. Here we use machine learning and visual evoked potential (VEP) of electroencephalogram (EEG) data to investigate the decoding features of the time courses and space location that extract it, and whether they depend on a common brain cortex channel. We show that RGB color information can be decoded from EEG data and, with the task-irrelevant paradigm, features can be decoded across fast changes in VEP stimuli. These results are consistent with the theory of both event-related potential (ERP) and P300 mechanisms. The latency on time course is shorter and more temporally precise for RGB color stimuli than P300, a result that does not depend on a task-relevant paradigm, suggesting that RGB color is an updating signal that separates visual events. Meanwhile, distribution features are evident for the brain cortex of EEG signal, providing a space correlate of RGB color in classification accuracy and channel location. Finally, space decoding of RGB color depends on the channel classification accuracy and location obtained through training and testing EEG data. The result is consistent with channel power value distribution discharged by both VEP and electrophysiological stimuli mechanisms.
Young Zambian infants with symptomatic RSV and pertussis infections are frequently prescribed inappropriate antibiotics: a retrospective analysis
Authors: Gunning Christian E. , Rohani Pejman , Mwananyanda Lawrence , Kwenda Geoffrey , Mupila Zacharia , Gill Christopher J.
Published: May 2023

Pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a pressing global health concern, particularly in low-resource settings where diagnosis and treatment rely on empiric, symptoms-based guidelines such as the WHO’s Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI). This study details the delivery of IMCI-based health care to 1,320 young infants and their mothers in a low-resource urban community in Lusaka, Zambia during 2015. Our Southern Africa Mother Infant Pertussis Study (SAMIPS) prospectively monitored a cohort of mother/infant pairs across infants’ first four months of life, recording symptoms of respiratory infection and antibiotics prescriptions (predominantly penicillins), and tested nasopharyngeal (NP) samples for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and Bordetella pertussis. Our retrospective analysis of the SAMIPS cohort found that symptoms and antibiotics use were more common in infants (43% and 15.7%) than in mothers (16.6% and 8%), while RSV and B. pertussis were observed at similar rates in infants (2.7% and 32.5%) and mothers (2% and 35.5%), albeit frequently at very low levels. In infants, we observed strong associations between symptoms, pathogen detection, and antibiotics use. Critically, we demonstrate that non-macrolide antibiotics were commonly prescribed for pertussis infections, some of which persisted across many weeks. We speculate that improved diagnostic specificity and/or clinician education paired with timely, appropriate treatment of pertussis could substantially reduce the burden of this disease while reducing the off-target use of penicillins.

Among the cut flowers, carnations are sensitive to ethylene. Therefore, the vase life is short and a negative situation arises in terms of marketing. Different chemical preservatives, herbal essential oils and growth regulators are used today to extend the post-harvest life of cut flowers. This study was conducted to determines the effects of single-use of some organic acids, chemical acids and essential oils and their combinations with sugar on postharvest life (vase life) of cut carnation flowers. Experiments were conducted in randomized plots design with three replications. Experimental treatments included: Salicylic Acid (100 mg/L), Ascorbic Acid (100 mg/L), Citric Acid (200 mg/L), Benzyl Adenine (50 mg/L), Carvacrol (200 mg/L), Thymol (200 mg/L) and sugar-supplemented (10 g/L) combinations of these treatments. Measured parameters included: Vase life, relative fresh weight, daily vase solution uptake, total vase solution uptake, pH change, bacteria population and diagnosis of dominant bacteria. Among the present treatments, 200 mg/L citric acid treatment decreased the bacteria population, prevented blockage in the plant's stem section, and thus, promoted water uptake. Thus, the best outcomes in terms of vase life, total vase solution uptake and relative fresh weights were achieved with 200 mg/L citric acid treatment. It was also observed that Salicylic Acid (100 mg/L) + Sucrose (10 g/L) and Benzyl Adenine (50 mg/L) + Sucrose (10 g/L) treatments yielded expected outcomes. Besides, non-sugar containing vase solutions yielded better outcomes than sugar-supplemented combinations. In terms of pH changes, decreases were observed in the final pH values of sugar-supplemented solutions compared to the initial pH values. Additionally, in present vase solutions, mostly Burkholderia cepacia species were diagnosed and also Pseudomonas antarctica, Pectobacterium carotovorum, Xanthomonas hortorum, Pseudomonas chlororaphis bacteria colonies were identified. As a result of the study, it is thought that 200 mg/L citric acid treatment and 100 mg/L salicylic acid + 10 g/L sugar treatment will contribute to cut flower and cut carnation producers and researchers working in this in the post-harvest field.

Local farmers combine several methods to manage soil organic matter: improve the quality and integrate other processes of managing the fertility of cultivated soils. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effects of different organic amendments (OA) on any physico-chemical properties of the soil such as: pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and organic matter (OM). The amendments are: palm compost and manure (CPM); palm compost and reed (CPR); palm compost and reed + manure (CPRM); ovine manure (Om) and unamended soil (Ctl). The choice of materials is based on the idea of valorizing palm groves waste (palms and reeds) with ovine manure. The trial is conducted on randomized complete block design where two levels of soil samples are taken two months apart: S0 (day zero), Sin (initial sampling before application of amendment) then, S1, S2 and S3 until the end of cropping cycle. Obtained results show that all different OA increase the pH and decrease the EC of the soil after two months of application (S1) compared to the value of the initial sampling (Sin), which demonstrates the very highly significant effect of time on both parameters in the surface horizon. For the OM an incessant increase during the assay period was noticed where Om and CPR have marked the highest values during the third sampling (S3). This proved that the prepared composts from oasian wastes have an effect in improving soil properties over time. From an economic point of view, CPR showed results of OM that are similar of Om, which is considered as the most used and expensive manure in the region.

In India, spent buffaloes are the main contributors of meat, which is tough and low priced and poor demand in the market. In this context, a new technological intervention is needed for restructuring of meat to enhance value-added meat production. Accordingly, an investigation was carried out to analyze the efficacy of different levels of flaxseed flour (C, T1, T2, and T3) as a novel binder for making of Restructured Buffalo Meat Slices (RBMS). The results revealed that T3 (RBMS added with 6% flaxseed flour) demonstrated significantly (P<0.01) higher cooking yield, water-holding capacity (WHC), batter stability and lower diameter shrinkage than control and RBMS incorporated with 2 % and 4 % flax seed flour. None of the treatments had significant influence on pH, total protein extractability, collagen content and solubility of RBMS. Moreover, T3 revealed significantly (P<0.01) higher moisture, total protein, total fat and total ash content than RBMS formulated with other levels of flax seed flour. Conversely, significantly lower in hardness, springiness, chewiness and higher in cohesiveness than other treatments. However, T3 influenced the colour scores, though at different degrees. Ultra structural images of cooked samples displayed the protein matrix between myofibrils which indicates gel network of flaxseed gum and proteins, subsequently caused more cohesiveness. This implies that the flaxseed flour acted as excellent novel binder for binding meat pieces. T3 has proven significantly greater sensory scores than other treatments. Thus, it is clearly evident that T3 has improved most of the quality attributes of buffalo meat and can be recommended as a novel value added technology for meat industry.

Phenolic screening and anticancer potential of various wild savory extracts
Authors: Şi̇mşek Sezer Ela Nur
Published: May 2023

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in our age. In addition to the treatments used in cancer, plants are frequently used in complementary or alternative approaches. Plants of the genus Satureja are used world wide for various purposes, primarily as complementary therapies. For this purpose, in this study, the antioxidant potential and phenolic content of the Satureja cuneifolia plant, which is frequently consumed as a spice and tea among the public, and its cytotoxic and apoptosis-inducing effects on cancer cells were tried to be revealed. The cytotoxic effect of the extracts prepared with three different solvents (methanol, ethanol and water) was determined by the MTT test in colorectal cancer (DLD1) and promyelocytic leukaemia cell lines (HL60). Then the expression levels of five apoptotic gene regions (apaf-1, bax, bcl2, card4, casp3 and tp53) were evaluated with Real-Time PCR. The antioxidant potential was determined via the DPPH test, and HPLC was used to screen for phenolic substances. As a result, it was determined that the extracts have cytotoxic effects and have a variable but positive effect on pro-apoptotic gene expressions. When the antioxidant potential was evaluated, it was determined that the methanolic extract had a more radical scavenging effect (IC50: 105.02±0.034 µg/ml). In conclusion, the cytotoxic and apoptosis-inducing potentials of the extracts obtained from the S. cuneifolia plant were revealed for the first time upon DLD1 and HL60 cell lines in this study. This study is a pioneer for future studies in cancer therapy.

Importance

Socioeconomic status affects pregnancy and neurodevelopment, but its association with hospital outcomes among premature infants is unknown. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a validated measure of neighborhood disadvantage that uses US Census Bureau data on income, educational level, employment, and housing quality.

Objective

To determine whether ADI is associated with neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) mortality and morbidity in extremely premature infants.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This retrospective cohort study was performed at 4 level IV NICUs in the US Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and South regions. Non-Hispanic White and Black infants with gestational age of less than 29 weeks and born between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2020, were included in the analysis. Addresses were converted to census blocks, identified by Federal Information Processing Series codes, to link residences to national ADI percentiles.

Exposures

ADI, race, birth weight, sex, and outborn status.

Main Outcomes and Measures

In the primary outcome, the association between ADI and NICU mortality was analyzed using bayesian logistic regression adjusted for race, birth weight, outborn status, and sex. Risk factors were considered significant if the 95% credible intervals excluded zero. In the secondary outcome, the association between ADI and NICU morbidities, including late-onset sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), were also analyzed.

Results

A total of 2765 infants with a mean (SD) gestational age of 25.6 (1.7) weeks and mean (SD) birth weight of 805 (241) g were included in the analysis. Of these, 1391 (50.3%) were boys, 1325 (47.9%) reported Black maternal race, 498 (18.0%) died before NICU discharge, 692 (25.0%) developed sepsis or NEC, and 353 (12.8%) had severe IVH. In univariate analysis, higher median ADI was found among Black compared with White infants (77 [IQR, 45-93] vs 57 [IQR, 32-77]; P < .001), those who died before NICU discharge vs survived (71 [IQR, 45-89] vs 64 [IQR, 36-86]), those with late-onset sepsis or NEC vs those without (68 [IQR, 41-88] vs 64 [IQR, 35-86]), and those with severe IVH vs those without (69 [IQR, 44-90] vs 64 [IQR, 36-86]). In a multivariable bayesian logistic regression model, lower birth weight, higher ADI, and male sex were risk factors for mortality (95% credible intervals excluded zero), while Black race and outborn status were not. The ADI was also identified as a risk factor for sepsis or NEC and severe IVH.

Conclusions and Relevance

The findings of this cohort study of extremely preterm infants admitted to 4 NICUs in different US geographic regions suggest that ADI was a risk factor for mortality and morbidity after adjusting for multiple covariates.
Proof‐of‐concept study of artificial intelligence‐assisted review of CBCT image guidance

Published: May 2023

Purpose

Automation and computer assistance can support quality assurance tasks in radiotherapy. Retrospective image review requires significant human resources, and automation of image review remains a noteworthy missing element in previous work. Here, we present initial findings from a proof‐of‐concept clinical implementation of an AI‐assisted review of CBCT registrations used for patient setup.

Methods

An automated pipeline was developed and executed nightly, utilizing python scripts to interact with the clinical database through DICOM networking protocol and automate data retrieval and analysis. A previously developed artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm scored CBCT setup registrations based on misalignment likelihood, using a scale from 0 (most unlikely) through 1 (most likely). Over a 45‐day period, 1357 pre‐treatment CBCT registrations from 197 patients were retrieved and analyzed by the pipeline. Daily summary reports of the previous day's registrations were produced. Initial action levels targeted 10% of cases to highlight for in‐depth physics review. A validation subset of 100 cases was scored by three independent observers to characterize AI‐model performance.

Results

Following an ROC analysis, a global threshold for model predictions of 0.87 was determined, with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 82%. Inspecting the observer scores for the stratified validation dataset showed a statistically significant correlation between observer scores and model predictions.

Conclusion

In this work, we describe the implementation of an automated AI‐analysis pipeline for daily quantitative analysis of CBCT‐guided patient setup registrations. The AI‐model was validated against independent expert observers, and appropriate action levels were determined to minimize false positives without sacrificing sensitivity. Case studies demonstrate the potential benefits of such a pipeline to bolster quality and safety programs in radiotherapy. To the authors’ knowledge, there are no previous works performing AI‐assisted assessment of pre‐treatment CBCT‐based patient alignment.
