Percurso cartográfico (re)pensando o ensino de publicidade pela decolonialidade
Authors: Timm Cezar Lara , Hansen Fábio
Published: December 2023

Olhar para o ensino de publicidade sob a luz da decolonialidade é uma forma de ressignificar, debater aspectos da matriz colonial que permanecem no cerne do sistema e redesenhar caminhos que ambicionem romper com o paradigma simplificador. Partimos de um gesto de reconhecer possibilidades teórico-práticas para pensar o ensino de publicidade por uma perspectiva decolonial. Com um posicionamento cartográfico, orientado pelo pensamento complexo costurado a fundamentos de teorias decoloniais, traçamos reflexões a partir de experiências no ensino de publicidade, propondo uma atualização de um mapa rizomático.

Published: December 2023

This research studies factors and creates a model to predict the patients’ postoperative WOMAC score after total knee replacement. First, the influencing factors were found by feature engineering, using several techniques such as Generalized Linear Models, Support Vector Machines, Deep Learning, and Gradient Boost Trees. Afterwards, the model was created by the Gradient Boost Tree technique which groups different attributes from feature engineering. Models were compared to find the model with the best predictability. RapidMiner Studio software version 9.9 was used in this work. The results demonstrate that the model created by the Gradient Boost Tree technique with attributes originating from feature engineering on the Gradient Boost Tree performs most efficiently with root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute deviation (MAD) and square error (SE) of \mathbf{5}.\mathbf{311}\pm\mathbf{0}.\mathbf{538}, \mathbf{3}.\mathbf{550}\pm\mathbf{0}.\mathbf{376}, and \mathbf{28}.\mathbf{472}\pm\mathbf{5}.\mathbf{811} respectively.

Micronutrient zinc (Zn) is crucial for both humans and plants. To improve the micronutrient concentration in the grains of food crops, biofortification has already been established as one of the best approaches across the globe. The current study was carried out to assess Zn enrichment in a few common wheat varieties using different Zn delivery techniques. The following treatments were applied: T1: control (without Zn), T2: Soil application of 4 kg Zn ha-1 at final land preparation, T3: Foliar application of a 0.5% Zn solution (ZnSO4 x7H2O) at both tillering and booting stages, and T4: soil application of 2 kg Zn ha-1 at final land preparation + foliar application of a 0.2% Zn solution (ZnSO4 x7H2O) at both tillering and booting stages. All treatments were arranged in a split-plot design and repeated three times The findings of the study revealed that the various Zn application techniques had an impact on the Zn concentration in grains significantly, ranging from 23.9 to 32.2 µg g-1 across the varieties, with an average of 28.2 µg g-1 in the control. Among these various application techniques, the soil + foliar application induced the highest response of the Zn concentration in the grains ranging from 33.7 to 37.60 µg g-1. The average protein content (%) in the grains of all wheat varieties varied by 1.21, 1.47, and 1.51%, respectively, as a result of the use of the different Zn application methods. Considering the Zn-use efficiency (%), the most Zn-efficient wheat variety was BARI Gom 28, followed by BARI Gom 26, Binagom-1, BARI Gom 25, and BARI Gom 29. In the case of grain yield, wheat variety BARI Gom 26 (4.15 t ha-1) performed the best in the soil + foliar Zn application. The soil + foliar application method outperformed the other application techniques regarding the Zn concentration, yield, and protein content in the grain.

Published: December 2023

A soja é uma das principais commodities produzidas em nível mundial. Um dos fatores que interferem na produção é a infestação por insetos-praga. A mosca-branca (Bemisia tabaci) é um inseto-praga de importância econômica pelo fato de ser altamente polífaga, de ciclo biológico curto e apresentar resistência a diversos ingredientes ativos de inseticidas utilizados na agricultura. Aliado à prática da amostragem, o conhecimento do tamanho de amostra pode fornecer informações confiáveis para estimar a densidade populacional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar o tamanho de amostra (número de folíolos) para estimar a média da densidade populacional de adultos de mosca-branca em soja. Em dois anos agrícolas, 23 tratamentos (inseticidas + testemunha) foram avaliados, com contagens do número de insetos em nove datas no primeiro experimento e oito datas no segundo experimento. Os cálculos de tamanho de amostra foram realizados com base na distribuição t de Student. A média da densidade populacional do primeiro ano foi de 5,7 adultos folíolo-1 e no segundo ano de 1,9 adultos folíolo-1. O tamanho de amostra para ambos os cenários de infestação foi determinado em 82 folíolos para um erro de estimação de 30% da média e nível de confiança de 95%.

Indonesia is an archipelagic country with over 270 million people living on over 17000 islands. The energy issues are the rising demand and the distribution to cover all areas of inhabited islands, particularly in remote areas far from the main national electricity grid is strongly needed. The growing concern about the effects of global warming necessitates that its resources be sustainable. Given that the ocean encompasses two-thirds of the country’s area, abundant ocean renewable energies are promising development resources. However, the utilization of those energy resources is zero (no realization). To encourage research and development activities, the current paper discusses and summarizes the ocean energy resources in Indonesia, including wave, tidal, offshore wind, and ocean thermal energies. To learn from the world's experience, the method of commercially harvesting energy for sites with the same typical potency as in Indonesia will be stated concisely. The national ocean energy mapping, prospective sites, and annual energy production potential for particular energy resources will be derived, and recommendations to profitably harvest the energy will be concluded.

Incubation test assesses the livability of spermatozoa in female reproductive tract and thereby the longevity of the sperms. Indirectly, it assesses the freezing injuries occurred to sperms during the deep freezing process. The period spent after thawing and before insemination may affect the quality and fertility of post-thaw semen. The frozen semen was thawed at 37°C for 30 sec and taken into a small sugar tube and incubated in the water-bath at 37°C for 0 h, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min and 60 h and per cent post-thaw motility (PTM%), hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST%) and cervical mucus penetration test (CMPT – mm) were carried out. The PTM declined from 54.33±1.18% at 0 h to 53.00±1.17% – 15 min, 47.33±1.08% - 30 min, 43.33±1.05% - 45 min and 35.67±1.27% at 60 min. HOST reduced from 52.53±1.53% at 0 h to 51.07±1.45%- 15 min, 42.67±1.82%- 30 min, 33.80±2.36%- 45 min and 23.60±1.10% at 60 min. Similarly, CMPT reduced from 28.00±1.23 mm at 0 h to 8.27±0.56 mm at 60 min. The overall post-thaw motility, HOST and CMPT at 0 h and 15 min were significantly higher than 30 min, 45 min and 60 min in Gir bulls. Post-thaw motility, hypo-osmotic swelling test and cervical mucus penetration test remain unaffected up to 15 min post-thaw incubation while there is significant decline in at 30, 45 and 60 min, which indicated that increasing post-thaw incubation duration affects post-thaw motility, cell membrane permeability and cervical mucus penetration ability of spermatozoa which may affect fertility.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to find out the impact of climate change and production stress on oxidative stress indices in lactating and non-lactating cattle and buffalo under tropical conditions. Oxidative stress (OS) indices like catalase (CAT), super oxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GSH) and lipid peroxidase (LPO) were estimated from the blood samples during winter, spring and summer. Oxidative stress indices were significantly elevated in both cattle and buffalo during hot summer and cold winter than during spring season indicating stress due to climatic stress. Significantly elevated levels of oxidative stress indices were recorded in lactating animals under different seasons than non-lactating animals indicating production stress in addition to climatic stress in lactating animals. Climate change and demand for heavy milk production predisposes animals to oxidative stress. Strategies to combat climate change induced oxidative stress need to be devised to prevent animal sufferings and production loss.

In elephant foot yam [Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.) Nicolson], weeds are the major constraints cause yield reduction up to 100% due to its very slow initial sprouting, establishment and plant growth. Information on proper weed management in elephant foot yam in India is limited as its commercial cultivation started very recently. For arriving at suitable and better weed control, field experiments were conducted for 3 growing seasons (2019 to 2021) at ICAR-Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala with 8 treatments in 6 different agro-climatic zones of India. The treatments included a combination of pre emergence (PE) and post emergence (POE) herbicides, PE followed by hand weeding (HW), intercropping followed by POE, HW with POE, POE alone, and weed control ground cover cloth mulch (WCGCC), three HW, and a weedy check were included for comparison. Weed flora was dominated by broad-leaf weeds, Digera arvensis (L.), Commelina benghalensis (L.); grasses, Pennisetum pedicellatum Trin., Cynodon dactylon (L.) pers.; and the sedge, Cyperus rotundus (L.), in most of the locations. Pooled analysis of data collected over different locations indicated that the lower mean weed biomass (21.24 g/m) and higher mean corm yield (35.13 t/ha), higher mean net income (`0.326 million/ha) were recorded with weed control ground cover mulch and higher mean B:C ratio (2.39) by application of post emergence herbicide at 30, 60 and 90 days after planting (DAP).

Fruit quality is most important for commercially cultivated watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai] cultivars and introgression of resistance gene from wild or related species is a major challenge and imperative to study the inheritance of internal and external fruit quality traits for utilizing in resistance breeding programme. Present study was carried out at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during summer 2020 to 2022 involving 4 seasons for identifying source of resistance, developing F1 and other subsequent generations (F2, BC1P1 and BC1P2) and evaluation of parental lines along with breeding population in watermelon. The resistant line DWM-45 was used as a female parent and crossed with commercially popular sweet watermelon variety Arka Manik to produce F1 and other generation to study the inheritance of internal and external fruit quality traits. Based on the segregation pattern of progeny it is concluded that fruit shape, rind pattern, seed coat colour and colour of flesh at margin near rind and at carpellar region followed monogenic inheritance. Furthermore, our findings revealed a complex genetic control with epistatic interactions for other fruit quality traits such as fruit length, fruit width, fruit weight and total soluble solids. This study provides valuable insights into the genetic basis of various fruit quality traits in watermelon which can have practical applications in breeding programmes, facilitating the development of improved watermelon varieties with desirable fruit characteristics.

Published: December 2023

The escalating impact of heat stress on agriculture due to climate change has necessitated the development of heat- tolerant crop varieties. To address this, a study was carried out at research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana during winter (rabi) seasons of 2018–19 and 2019–20 under two different environments (normal and late sown). Evaluation of multiple stress indices and their relationship with grain yield per plot was done using 200 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Positive correlation was observed between grain yield and stress tolerance index, mean productivity, geometric mean productivity, harmonic mean and mean relative performance, while negative correlations existed with heat susceptibility index, tolerance, stress susceptibility index and reduction under stress conditions. Stepwise regression analysis revealed the importance of mean productivity, yield index, geometric mean productivity, stress tolerance index, and reduction in predicting grain yield. Principal Component Analysis highlighted the significance of tolerance and reduction in explaining the variance, with PC-1 labeled as the resilience and stress tolerance component and PC-2 as the yield stability and performance component. These findings were able to select 13 most heat tolerant RILs, performing better than national level check genotype WH730 and emphasized the role of stress indices especially HSI and TOL in characterizing genotypic responses to heat stress and guiding the selection of heat-tolerant genotypes for sustainable crop improvement. In the context of heat stress tolerance, understanding and harnessing transgressive segregants could lead to the development of crop varieties that not only tolerate, but thrive in challenging environments, ensuring sustainable food production under changing climatic conditions.

Regulatory decisions for skin sensitization are now based on adverse outcome pathway (AOP) and integrated approaches to testing and assessment (IATA). Based on these, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines on defined approaches for skin sensitization were adopted with a fixed data interpretation procedure (DIP). In the guidelines, “Defined Approaches” (DA) on skin sensitization uses the results from multiple information sources of in chemico, in vitro, and in silico data to achieve an equivalent predictive capacity as those of the animal tests. In this review, we evaluated the skin sensitization of eleven isothiazolinone compounds including 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-3(2H)-isothiazolone (DCOIT), 2-n-Octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (OIT), 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT), 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT), 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one, 2-butyl (BBIT), 5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT), 2-methyl-4,5-trimethylene-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MTMIT), 2-methyl-1,2-benzothiazol-3-one (MBIT), 2-methyl-1,2-benzothiazole-3-thione (MBIT-S), 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, 2-methyl-, 1,1-dioxide (BBIT-O), and a mixture of CMIT/MIT. Data from direct peptide reactivity assay (DPRA), human cell line activation (h-CLAT) test, and quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) Toolbox were evaluated and were applied to the DIP to derive a prediction of hazard identification and a potency classification. Among the evaluated chemicals, six isothiazolinone compounds were classified to be UN GHS 1A, one compound to be UN GHS 1, and four compounds could not be classified due to lack of data. The results of sensitizer chemicals were found to coincide well with those of in vivo test.
An intervention in the teaching of electricity and magnetism using the photoelectric effect
Authors: dos Santos Gleydson Lima
Published: December 2023

This work consists of a proposal to insert a content of Modern Physics, the photoelectric effect, in a didactic sequence about electricity and magnetism, discussing that it is possible to work concepts that are normally approached in an isolated way, within a "box" of Modern Physics, together with the contents of the so-called Classical Physics. For the elaboration of this proposal it was necessary to analyze how it would be possible to correlate the study of the photoelectric effect, through an experimentally demonstrated application, with topics of the contents of Electricity and Magnetism. After this initial study, it was understood that the phenomenon, along with the suggested application, could be addressed within the topics of electrification processes, electrical circuits and magnetic field. It was then possible to produce a didactic unit with the sequence of classes and a methodological proposal for the application with the help of a simulator available on the internet and a demonstrative experiment on the application of the photoelectric effect in automated lighting systems. Respecting the sequence of presentation of the topics, normally arranged in the textbooks, it was possible to perceive that the proposal is feasible and has the potential to facilitate the understanding of the contents related to the theme, since it provides learning through an application of Physics in everyday life.
Níveis de TSH e T4 livre relacionadas com o bócio e o surgimento de nódulos
Authors: Akita Arthur Henrique de Oliveira , Alves Maria Lúcia D'Arbo
Published: December 2023

A glândula tireóide normal é uma estrutura homogênea na qual, com certa frequência aparecem nódulos. Quando estes nódulos são maiores que 1 cm, eles costumam ser detectados pela palpação e, um exame bem feito pode detectá-los em até 4% da população. Quando esta glândula passa por uma carência de iodo, ela aumenta a sua massa glandular (bócio) o que promove a indução de T3 e eleva a síntese e a liberação do hormônio TSH. Em alguns casos, o problema da glândula tireóide pode ter início na adolescência onde, através de um pequeno bócio, ocorrem modificações de sua estrutura e crescimento para a formação de um bócio multinodular com um volume maior.
Raw data and its implications in exegesis of Daniel 11,2b-12,3
Authors: Gane Roy E.
Published: December 2023

Three kinds of raw data in Daniel 11,2b-12,3 carry crucial implications for interpretation.First, these verses comprise one discourse unit beginning with literal language. Therefore,the entire unit is basically literal. Accordingly, 11,2b-12,3 is the third angelic explanation(with elaboration) of the symbolic vision in 8,3-14, following explanations in 8,17; 19-26and 9,24-27. Second, these three parallel explanations share intratextual terminologicalpoints of contact. So contexts of words in chapters 8 and 9 reappearing in chapter 11illuminate similar contexts in chapter 11. Third, matching language of literary profilesin Daniel 11 to historical events requires accurate identification of raw historical data.Thus, verse 40 does not predict the “mortal wound” of the church of Rome inflicted byatheistic France in A.D. 1798. In verses 40-43, the religious-political church, the “king ofthe north,” defeats the religious-political “king of the south”: Islamic power.

Annotation. One of the most important issues in modern education is the preparation of a student for professional mental labor in obtaining knowledge. In order to fully solve this problem, there is a need to actively use project-based learning technologies. This is to involve students in future scientific research by engaging them in mastering the first research activities. As a result of the application of the project method, it develops students who think critically, come up with new ideas, offer rational methods, use, process and select information, communicate well with everyone in different environments, work for the full self-development of their personality from a cultural, spiritual, moral point of view. The project method is a training system that is carried out under the supervision and guidance of a teacher, is based on the student's ability to express creatively, develops his intellectual and creative abilities and inclinations. The main goal of the project is to create the following opportunities for students: to try themselves in different situations in the course of activities organized according to the purpose of the project, willingly, independently, acquiring knowledge that must be mastered from different sources; learn to apply the knowledge gained in solving various practical and cognitive problems (that is, to compare the goal and the conditions for achieving it in the project); develops communication skills in a team, group, language skills, work in harmony, that is, communication skills, research skills are formed; B-develops the skills of systematic thinking, draws up a program of activities for the implementation of the planned project, taking into account the level of its capabilities. The method of project activity is based on the cognitive interest of the student, the ability to independently master the knowledge he needs, the ability to select the information he needs in the information space, the development of critical thinking, the ability and ability to conduct research work. Key words: research work of the student, project method, extracurricular activities, creative work of the student

Annotation. In fact, the monuments on the territory of Mangystau and Ustyurt, which the local Kazakhs Call OI and kyr, have their own sacred meaning. The vast majority of them are houses and ruins from ancient times, medieval necropolises and underground mosques, architectural monuments of the peoples who inhabited this region in the XV-XX centuries (tombstones, koytas, saganatams, etc.). One of the monuments connecting the ancient history of the Stone Age of the Mangystau region with the Middle Ages is the monument to Kang Baba, located in the northwestern part of the peninsula. Studies on the Kang Baba complex and the etymology of this name indicate that this complex has been known since the Bronze Age (hereinafter we use the name Arian-Turanian in parallel). We are of the opinion that by describing the Kang Baba complex, we can consider a whole period of the history of Mangystau, that is, the Bronze Age and the subsequent complex period. In this article, we will talk about the ancient monuments of the Kang Baba necropolis of Mangystau region, their sacred character, historical etymology of the name Kang. A scientific analysis of the historical, ethnographic, ethnogenic significance of the study of ancient monuments in the burial complex of Kang Baba is carried out. Key words: Kanga Baba, Arian, Turan, Avesta, Oguz, Kipchak, Adai, sacral, Saka Era.
Plato’s Periagōgē: Changing Direction as a Central Aspect of Education
Authors: Grubor Kristina
Published: December 2023

Plato’s concept of periagōgē, as presented in the Analogy of the Cave, serves as a fundamental component of his philosophy of education, illustrating the process of “changing direction” or “redirecting” one’s mind’s eye from ignorance to the Form of the Good. Plato’s understanding of culture or education, paideia, accentuates the shift from passive observation to active participation in the pursuit of ultimate knowledge and ethical excellence. This educational change of direction, from passive to active, unfolds as our entire soul turns toward the Form of the Good. Maintaining the soul’s proper direction and alignment involves cultivating the lower parts of the soul through the emulation of good habits, good behavior, and proper feelings, while concurrently strengthening the higher reasoning powers through mathematical sciences, culminating in dialectics. Such an educational redirecting of the soul aims at the Form of the Good as its teleologic, practical, and paradigmatic axis around which we are revolving as we go about our daily endeavors. Those who were able to grasp the Form of the Good, not only undergo inevitable personal change but also bear the responsibility of guiding others toward such a transformation, as their teachers and mentors, just like Socrates did. Consequently, periagōgē in the right direction, or aspiration toward the right ideals, promotes personal betterment but also extends its effects towards society, where such enlightened individuals help others to stay on the right path.
CAUDAL TYPE HOMEOBOX 2 EXPRESSION AND PROGNOSTIC FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH GASTRIC ADENOCARCINOMA
Authors: Kheradmand P.
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background: The prognosis of cancer is affected by factors such as lymph node involvement, the degree of tumor invasion, and markers like caudal type homeobox 2. This study investigates the immunohistochemical expression of caudal type homeobox 2 in gastric cancer adenocarcinoma biopsies concerning gastric cancer prognostic factors.
Material and methods: Tissue blocks from patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were used in this cross-sectional study. Demographic and clinicopathological data were extracted and recorded on a checklist from patients’ pathology reports. The expression of caudal type homeobox 2 was subsequently examined using immunohistochemistry.
Results: In total, 80 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were included, where 22 were
female (27.5%). Caudal type homeobox 2 expression was reported as positive in 68 cases (85%) and negative in 12 cases (15%) of gastric adenocarcinoma biopsies. No significant correlation (p>0.05) was found between caudal type homeobox 2 expression and demographic and clinicopathological data, such as age, gender, and tumor grade (p>0.05).
Conclusion: This study concludes that age, gender, and tumor grade are unreliable prognostic factors for Iranian patients with gastric adenocarcinoma.
Bi-circular model with test particle variable mass
Authors: A. Ansari Abdullah , Bano Saba
Published: December 2023

This paper presents the effects of the perturbations on the motion of the test particle variable mass in the bi-circular Sun perturbed oblate Earth-Moon system where primary is taken as oblate Earth, secondary is taken as Moon and the third body is assumed as Sun. These three bodies are moving in the same plane around barycenter. The fourth and smallest body (test particle is assumed to be having variable mass with time) is moving in the space under the perturbations such as gravitational forces of the primaries, the solar radiation pressure, the coriolis and centrifugal forces. Then we determine the equations of motion, the locations of critical points, their stability and periodic orbits.
Kohti konvergenssitutkimusta
Authors: Hari Riitta
Published: December 2023

Solving complex 'wicked' problems requires multidisciplinary approaches. Here I introduce convergence research, a concept still relatively unknown in Finland. Convergence research involves collaboration across various disciplines to achieve common goals by integrating knowledge, skills, and approaches. Convergence research requires attitude changes from researchers, universities, and funders, as well as efforts for creating a shared language, recognizing individual researchers' contributions, and reforming university recruitment and evaluation practices. The pillars of convergence research include a shared research problem, effective communication, researcher-driven formation of teams, respect for other fields, and appropriate interpersonal chemistry.
Urbaani kulttuuriperintö ja fragmentaatioteoria: Esimerkkinä Turun kaupunkiarkeologia
Authors: Immonen Visa
Published: December 2023

Despite the shift from a monument- or object-centred to a landscape-centred approach in the protection and management of urban cultural heritage, the analysis of cultural heritage as individual objects is still relevant. Theories on material culture do not see objects in the way they were conceived in monument-centred conservation. A case in point is fragmentation theory. The article uses this theory to analyse the relationship between archaeology and the urban landscape in Turku. Although fragmentation theory has its roots in prehistoric archaeology, the article adapts it to the modern, urban setting. Archaeological fragments have a physical connection with the past, but they can also act as agents independent of their original objects. This creative potential of fragments should be further explored in urban heritage management.

In Peru, the largest organic banana producing area is the Chira Valley. However, the high incidence of the damage known as "Red Rust" in bananas causes economic losses to small producers. This study aimed to taxonomically identify the species that causes this damage. Collections were made in organic banana farms in Huangalá, Querecotillo and Salitral. Adult specimens were identified taking into account the morphological characters. According to the proposed keys, we conclude that it is the species Chaetanaphothrips signipennis (Bagnall) and that it is the only species responsible for the damage known as "Red Rust " in bananas and not for a complex as reported in the local literature. Knowing this result is essential for proper crop management, mainly for pest control strategies.
