Este estudo avaliou a aceitabilidade sensorial de biscoito tipo cracker enriquecido com farinha da casca do limão siciliano (Citrus limon L. Burm.), determinando-se a composição físico-química da formulação de biscoito padrão e mais aceita. Utilizaram-se cinco formulações de biscoitos contendo diferentes concentrações de farinha de casca de limão siciliano, sendo F1 (padrão), F2 (1%), F3 (2%), F4 (3%) e F5 (4%). A análise sensorial avaliou os atributos: aparência, aroma, sabor, textura e característica crocante. Ademais, foram realizadas análises da composição físico-química. Sensorialmente, as formulações padrão e adicionada de 1% de farinha de casca de limão siciliano foram as mais aceitas, principalmente nos atributos sabor, aceitação global e intenção de compra. Por meio da análise físico-química dos produtos verificou-se que os teores de fibra bruta, proteínas, cinzas e umidade e o valor calórico foram maiores na formulação F2 do que em F1. O desenvolvimento dos produtos comprovou que a adição de até 1% de farinha de casca de limão siciliano em biscoitos tipo cracker foi o mais aceito pelos provadores entre as demais formulações contendo este ingrediente, com aceitação sensorial semelhante ao produto convencional.

Published: October 2023

Este trabalho analisou a associação entre a ocorrência da leptospirose em equinos de tração em áreas urbanas do município de Uberlândia (MG), com os seguintes fatores de risco: presença de roedores, contato com outras espécies animais, local de repouso e manejo sanitário. A presença ou a ausência de anticorpos anti-Leptospira nas 79 amostras de sangue equino foi avaliada pelo teste de soroaglutinação microscópica (SAM) em campo escuro. As informações referentes à presença de roedores, contato com outras espécies animais, local de repouso e manejo sanitário foram obtidas por meio de questionário. As variáveis avaliadas, por serem do tipo categórico, foram submetidas à análise de correspondência múltipla. A taxa de positividade para anticorpo anti-Leptospira foi de 44,30%, e os sorovares mais encontrados foram: icterohaemorrhagiae (21,51%), hardjo (15,05%) e castellonis (10,75%). A presença de roedores, contato com outras espécies animais e ausência de manejo sanitário apresentaram associação com a infecção em equinos, e a alta frequência de aglutininas anti-Leptospira encontrada no soro sanguíneo demonstra a susceptibilidade destes animais aos sorovares de Leptospira interrogans.

Authors: Scapin Diane , Rossi Eliandra Mirlei , Oro Débora
Published: October 2023

No presente estudo, foi avaliada a qualidade microbiológica da água consumida pela população na região do extremo oeste do estado brasileiro de Santa Catarina. Essa região é essencialmente agrícola, com atividades de bovinocultura e suinocultura, fatores que podem influenciar na qualidade microbiológica da água – principalmente porque, muitas vezes, esses mananciais não são adequadamente protegidos e os dejetos são incorretamente descartados. Foram avaliadas 298 amostras de águas de diversas propriedades dessa região entre os anos de 2007 a 2010. As análises microbiológicas (coliformes totais e termotolerantes) foram realizadas pela técnica de fermentação em tubos múltiplos, conforme a metodologia prescrita pela APHA (1998), segundo a Instrução Normativa 62 de 26 de agosto de 2003, do Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento. Das 298 amostras avaliadas, 191 (64,1%) estavam impróprias para o consumo humano, conforme os padrões bacteriológicos estabelecidos pela portaria 518/2004 do Ministério da Saúde. Das amostras analisadas, 191 (64,1%) continham coliformes totais e 168 (56,4%) coliformes totais e termotolerantes. Esses resultados são preocupantes, e mostram a necessidade de ferramentas como a adoção de medidas preventivas e o tratamento adequado das águas comprometidas, para evitar a ocorrência de enfermidades de veiculação hídrica.

Authors: Maharddhika Pambudy Indra , Sitompul Ratna , Distia Nora Rina La , Veronica Mongan Vionna Nadya
Published: October 2023

Background : HLA B27 related acute anterior uveitis is a chronic recurrent inflammation of uvea mainly in anterior chamber. The underlying mechanism seems to involves autoimmunity and autoinflammatory. Antigen has been proposed as a trigger, but its precise role is unclear.
Aim : We systematically searched evidence for the involvement of antigen, including BoNT/A in triggering HLA-B27 associated disease.
Methods : We searched four data base including Pubmed, Ebscohost, Sciencedirect, and Google Scholar. We also review the immunologic response to BoNT/A, its amino acid sequence, and homology with human protein
Results: Eight studies reviewed which include the role of antigen in triggering uveitis. Four studies favour autoinflammatory pathway which involves B27 homodimer formation and its interaction with TH-17. Four studies favour autoimmunity pathway which involves molecular mimicry and activation of self reactive CD8+ T-Cells. All of which centralize the role of dendritic cells as antigen presenting cells. Five studies describe immune response to BoNT/A. BoNT/A capable of activating innate and immune system. Using BLAST program from NCBI, we found BoNT/A homology with cytokeratine 8.
Conclusion : Two possible pathway on how antigen might trigger HLA B27 AAU. The first is through uveitogenic capacity of the antigen. The second mechanism is through homodimer formation. BoNT/A might induce uveitis in HLA B27 individual through induction of homodimer and activation of self-reactive CD8+ T-Cells due to shared homology with cytokeratine 8 that is extensively expressed in human uvea
Contextual recruitment in neuropsychology: A practice-based example of a novel approach and reflections on the process from an assistant psychologist
Authors: Lee Anna , Teager Alistair , Makin Selina M.
Published: October 2023

In 2021, a government initiative offered opportunities for aspiring clinical psychologists from underrepresented groups to gain paid clinical experience (Health Education England, 2021). This article describes how this initiative was used as an opportunity to integrate more contextual recruitment approaches for the recruitment of assistant psychologists (APs) in a neuropsychology department, in line with the strategic goals to increase diversity in the profession (British Psychological Society, 2023a). The strategies implemented to promote inclusivity are described in three separate phases of pre-application, peri-application, and onboarding. Reflections are provided in parallel from an aspiring clinical psychologist’s first-hand experience of the contextual recruitment process. The article aims to provide a template for other neuropsychology services to draw upon and develop in their recruitment and selection processes, and catalyse wider organisational change to promote a more diverse, representative psychology workforce.

Published: October 2023

Supporting wellbeing within education settings is vital. The Well Schools whole school approach to supporting teacher and pupil wellbeing provides a framework that supports planning and engagement where each school has the space to advocate for a bespoke and tailored approach that meets the needs of their school community. We report on a secondary school, as a case study example, that adopted Well Schools in 2020 and set out how valuing a whole school culture, providing good leadership and embedding wellbeing support into the vision and ethos of the school can aid the successful implementation of Well Schools that fuel transformative change. This article offers reflections on approaches for achieving a whole school approach to wellbeing, provide examples of what works well and explores how a culture of wellbeing can provide a climate for staff, pupils and their communities to thrive.
Understanding adolescent bullying during school transition in Indonesian context: A sociocultural approach
Authors: Yulianti Kurnia Y. , Baines Ed , Rentzelas Panos
Published: October 2023

This study examines the context of adolescent bullying during school transitions in Indonesia. Following a sociocultural approach on bullying (Maunder & Crafter, 2018), we argue that bullying is a situational and contextually sensitive phenomenon that is contingent on students’ experiences with peers, and the responses of teachers, school, and society, including the educational system in Indonesia. Individual interviews were undertaken with teachers (N = 16) and paired interviews with students from Grade 7 and Grade 10 (N = 40). Preliminary analyses for this ongoing study reveal similarities and differences in teachers’ and students’ understanding of bullying based on school locations, grades, and gender. Potential implications of the research are discussed.
School transition and SEND: Investigating parental accounts of their child’s primary to secondary school transition experience through the use of Mumsnet data
Authors: Cromwell Hannah , Fox Claire L.
Published: October 2023

Previous research on school transition has highlighted how it can be a particularly difficult time for children with special educational needs and disabilities. In addition, parental involvement in the transition is seen to be an important factor in facilitating a positive transition. This study aimed to investigate the factors that impact the school transition experience of children with SEND, through the use of Internet forum data and the perceptions and experiences of parents. A total of 12 threads from the internet-based forum website Mumsnet were selected and analysed containing 127 posts from 46 different users. The keywords ‘School transition’ and the selected chosen topics of ‘SEN’, ‘SN Children’ and ‘SN teens and young adults’ were used to search for relevant forum threads. Forum threads were then analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The themes generated were ‘Proactive parents’, ‘Child-focused: Understanding and addressing the individual child’s needs and concerns’, and the overarching theme of ‘Sufficient preparation’ with the themes ‘Preparation pre-transition’ and ‘Preparation post-transition’. Understanding the parent’s role in school transition can help to support other parents to better support their child; the advice of other parents and suitable methods they have found to support their children can be suggested to others. Recognising the issues will also be useful in improving the support within schools

A regularização fundiária urbana de interesse social (REURB-S) em área de preservação permanente como instrumento de justiça socioambiental
Authors: Kryminice Bruno Oliveira de Souza
Published: October 2023

A intensa ocupação das áreas ambientalmente protegidas por pessoas desprovidas de capacidade econômica é consequência do modelo de urbanização adotado no Brasil, que se caracteriza pelo caráter excludente e classista, a partir de uma gestão urbana com investimentos em infraestrutura na região central das grandes cidades, fomentando a especulação imobiliária, em detrimento às políticas de acesso à habitação. Pretende-se com o presente artigo, analisar a Regularização Fundiária Urbana de Interesse Social (Reurb-S), como potencial instrumento de regularização de ocupações nas áreas ambientais sensíveis, para que as famílias que nelas habitem possam ter condições dignas de moradia, com condições ambientais sustentáveis, dentro dos parâmetros de justiça socioambiental. Utilizou-se como método de pesquisa a bibliográfica e documental. A relevância do tema está no fato da Lei Federal nº 13.465/2017 ter simplificado os procedimentos de legitimação da posse, possibilitando-se a legalização de títulos de direitos reais das ocupações irregulares localizadas em Áreas de Preservação Permanente. Porém, a falta de cadastro único nacional de beneficiários de unidades habitacionais de interesse social, somada à omissão fiscalizatória pelo Poder Público Municipal, impossibilita o controle dos já assistidos. Como consequência, traz riscos à isonomia no atendimento da população de baixa renda. Pretende-se demonstrar que a Reurb-S, fundamentada no direito fundamental à moradia, garante, não apenas a titulação da posse, como a implementação de infraestrutura essencial, com a disponibilidade de serviços como água potável, energia, tratamento adequado de esgoto e lixo, saneamento básico, etc., serviços necessários à habitação adequada.

O crime de corrupção e a desnecessidade do ato de ofício
Authors: Soares Rafael Junior
Published: October 2023

O presente trabalho examinou o crime de corrupção passiva e a desnecessidade para sua configuração do nexo de causalidade entre a solicitação, recebimento ou aceitação de promessa da vantagem indevida e o ato de ofício determinado pelo funcionário público. A discussão é importante porque enquanto o tipo legal da corrupção ativa trata expressamente do “ato de ofício”, o legislador não apresentou a mesma tipologia na corrupção passiva, o que tem gerado grandes discussões no seio acadêmico e jurisprudencial. Formulou-se a hipótese quanto à efetiva desnecessidade do ato de ofício para fins de caracterização da infração penal, comparando-se, inclusive, com o Código Penal espanhol. Por fim, utilizou-se na pesquisa do método hipotético-dedutivo, valendo-se da técnica de revisão bibliográfica.
O princípio da afetividade como instrumento de reconhecimento da multiparentalidade
Authors: Braga Paiano Daniela , Nabas Schiavon Isabela
Published: October 2023

Objetiva-se por meio desse estudo analisar o princípio da afetividade como instrumento de reconhecimento da multiparentalidade no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, considerando os aspectos da autodeterminação e da dignidade da pessoa humana nas relações jurídicas familiares, bem como examinar a multiparentalidade na seara extrajudicial. Perpassa pelo estudo evolutivo do Direito de Família até o direito constitucional ao planejamento familiar, com a proposta de reflexão por um viés normativo (ordenamento jurídico) e histórico. Para tanto, utiliza-se o método dedutivo, mediante extração discursiva do conhecimento, partindo de premissas gerais aplicáveis às hipóteses concretas, adotando-se como técnicas de pesquisa a perspectiva descritiva e a exploratória, fundamentando-se em pesquisa doutrinária, legislativa e jurisprudencial, com a finalidade de demonstrar a relevância do tema apresentado em razão das consequências jurídicas advindas dos mais diversos modelos de constituição de família na contemporaneidade. Por fim, pôde-se concluir pela influência do princípio da afetividade no reconhecimento da multiparentalidade, tendo em vista que a proteção da pessoa humana por meio da constitucionalização civilista de sua dignidade, acompanhando a evolução axiológica da autodeterminação, fez com que o vínculo de filiação tivesse um viés de reconhecimento de busca da efetivação do princípio da dignidade da pessoa na sua realização pessoal.

Authors: PARVEEN K , PARVEEN M , PARVEEN R
Published: October 2023

This study explores nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices in gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures, focusing on nurses from Nishtar Hospital Multan. It explores their understanding and practical application of endoscopy protocols and their pivotal role in patient care and procedure management. In a cross-sectional study conducted at Nishtar Hospital Multan, data was collected from 150 nurses using a Likert scale questionnaire. The research considered participants willing to participate and provided informed consent. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software. The demographic profile of the nurses revealed a predominantly female workforce (56%). Age-wise, the majority were under 45 years old (38%). About 80% held a diploma degree, indicating specialized training. A significant portion had eight years of work experience (82%). In terms of endoscopy experience, 72.7% had less than 10 years. Most received training (82%) and were vaccinated against Hepatitis B (82%). In terms of attitudes and practices, the nurses displayed a high level of agreement with key hygiene and infection control practices, such as handwashing, with 100% agreement in some cases. They also recognized the importance of infection prevention through measures like masks, gowns, and gloves . Furthermore, they acknowledged the significance of patient comfort and the need to provide information to patients during endoscopy. The study reveals that while nurses possess strong knowledge and positive attitudes toward endoscopy procedures, ongoing training and continuous assessment are necessary to ensure optimal practices. Nurses play a crucial role in patient care and procedural success, prioritizing their comprehensive education and training. Further research and periodic evaluation can drive improvements in their work's theoretical and practical aspects, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and safety in endoscopy units.

Aim of study: (i) To investigate the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with the roots of seed trees stands in a conserved and natural population of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), based on rDNA sequences; and (ii) to evaluate the dual colonization by AMF and dark septate fungi (DSF), showing the types of fungal colonization patterns in the dry season.
Area of study: Tropical rainforest of Ejido Laguna Om, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Material and methods: We evaluated the AMF and DSF colonization in secondary root segments of ten adult trees of mahogany. We analysed the diversity of AMF in one composite sample of mahogany roots (three trees) using 18S rDNA gene with Illumina MiSeq platform.
Main results: Through metabarcoding 14 virtual taxa belonging mainly to the genus Glomus and Diversispora were obtained, VTX00186 being the most abundant. The percentages of colonization for the different fungal structures were hyphae 80%, vesicles 18%, coils 2%, and arbuscules 0.5%; for DSF, 60% hyphae and 12% microsclerotia. The Paris-type colonization predominated with 61% in the roots.
Research highlights: The knowledge of the AMF diversity present in natural mahogany forests will allow the selection of species for inoculation management seeking to enhance seedling survival and growth of this species.
The Relationship Between Academic Performance and Anxiety: A Multi-Angle Review
Authors: Wu Jinnan
Published: October 2023

Academic pressure has always been a tremendous topic. With the world marching into the second decade of the 21st century, one cannot identify a single element that is affecting peoples pressure and mood. The bond between students mental health and academic performance has caused many researches which explore the potential negative outcome of unproductive and damaging relational circulation. This paper strives to discover the relationship between academic performance and anxiety from a multi-level analysis, including but not limited to Social-Emotional Competency (SEC), family conditions and the current COVID-19 pandemic. Through collecting data from different sources that examined students mental health status and academic performance under various circumstances and cultural backgrounds, this paper finds that stress and anxiety are negatively correlated with academic performance if they are not properly coped with; different factors like language barriers and current COVID-19 pandemic, for example, can exaggerate the effect of anxiety on academic performance in different subgroups of students from different cultures. This paper calls for more attention to students mental health under current COVID-19 pandemic, as well as those who are under high-intensity studying environment with limited psychological and social resources.
Exploring the Relationship Between Inequality and Economic Stagnation
Authors: Liu Weichen
Published: October 2023

Many countries facing economic stagnation recently have achieved significant economic development for the past few decades. Those countries are mostly in Asia, and it is easy to make the connection to Thailand as its location and outperformance in economic development. As many countries are facing this issue, it is essential to find the reason for this to happen to help solve the dilemma and continue the economic growth in those countries. This paper looks into the specific causation of inequality to economic stagnation and establishes the causal relationship between them. This is important because establishing the relationship can help to suggest possible solutions for solving economic stagnation where no existing report has been done. Throughout the paper, it contains secondary data resources and used qualitative research resources as support to make the argument. Showing the data of GDP identifies the economic stagnation, and these data are already being collected and shown online. Many previous studies have pointed out the possible problem of economic stagnation in Thailand maybe inequality but without an actual in-depth study. Knowing that Thailand is focusing on its development in human capital, a focus on education was selected and centered on searching data and arguments that are supported. Finding existing papers with data elaborated on the problem of inequality and outcomes brought by inequality in the current Thai education system, it can be further analyzed to conclude that the outcomes are closely related and caused by inequality in the society. The poor outcomes can lead to not having enough high-educated talents in the labor market, then cause a slowdown in companies and economic development, which falls to economic stagnation. Based on analyzing this evidence, a relationship can be established between the inequality in society and the education system and then caused an effect on economic development.
On the Education and Culture of Immigrants to the United States
Authors: Zhao Qianwen
Published: October 2023

There was an increase in Asian immigration to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries because new policies were implemented, loosening some of the restrictions around immigration for Asian people. As they arrived in the United States, they were subjected to cultural and educational shocks; they had to learn how to assimilate into American culture because they wanted to become a part of American society. The question arises about why many Asian people chose to immigrate to the United States and how they managed to assimilate into American culture, and through an in-depth analysis of the existing literature, it was found that due to the American involvement in Asia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Asian people were drawn to the United States because they wanted to achieve the American dream, and they were able to succeed because of their emphasis on education and collectivistic culture.
The Influence of Autosuggestion on Emotional Regulation
Authors: Lu Boyu
Published: October 2023

Emotional regulation shows the significant value of utilizing autosuggestion. Therefore, it is necessary to figure out how to use autosuggestion reasonably. The study used both online questionnaires and telephone interviews as the method to collect samples. It indicated that when people encounter problems, they would have negative emotions, such as anxiety and depression. Some people would choose to do something positive to alleviate anxiety. They will use positive autosuggestion to encourage themselves and reduce anxiety. Others might immerse themselves in that anxiety or use some negative autosuggestion to increase their anxiety. The finding suggested that autosuggestion could help in regulating emotions, but its effects were affected by individuals attitudes, which positive autosuggestion can diminish the influence of anxiety and increase self-importance and self-value, and negative autosuggestion will have the opposite effect.

Authors: Wang Ke
Published: October 2023

The classroom is the wilderness where students' lives grow, and the new standard calls for education of humanistic spirit. This paper starts by analyzing students' anxiety emotions in English learning and exploring teachers' practices in English classroom teaching. Both personality issues and external factors can cause anxiety. Teachers should adopt active teaching strategies to encourage and help learners to overcome the resistance brought by their own factors and environmental factors, so that students can overcome anxiety and maintain a strong interest in learning and thirst for knowledge. Teaching strategies include three aspects: First, psychological counseling for individual differences can guide self-regulation of anxiety; second, establishing a new teacher-student relationship can reduce the external variables of anxiety; third, activity relaxation and experience win-win cooperation can eliminate fear of difficulties through entertaining. Teachers use the halo effect of humanistic education to overcome students' anxiety about learning English. This effect can be applied to classroom teaching in the future and has very important practical significance. Future research should continue to innovate and improve classroom teaching, so that the English classroom is harmonious and win-win.
