Authors: Oliveira Lauren Caroline Santos de , Kamonseki Danilo Harudy , Rostelato-Ferreira Sandro
Published: April 2023

O termo “fatores antinutricionais” vem sendo utilizado para definir compostos ou classes de compostos presentes numa variedade de alimentos de origem vegetal, quando consumidos, reduzem o valor nutritivo dos alimentos. O ácido oxálico age como um antinutriente, e seu efeito tóxico ocorre quando ao se combinar com o cálcio forma oxalato de cálcio que é insolúvel na urina levando a formação de cálculos renais, sendo encontrado em inúmeros alimentos de origem vegetal, incluindo o tomate. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi de determinar os teores de ácido oxálico em amostras de tomates vermelhos maduros in natura, extrato de tomate e molho de tomate industrializado. A determinação do teor de ácido oxálico foi realizada pelo método de permanganometria, utilizando solução de KMnO4 (0,002N). Foi observado diferença na concentração de ácido oxálico nas três amostras estudadas. O molho de tomate industrializado apresentou concentração de 0,6% de ácido oxálico, o extrato de tomate 1,62% e a amostra in natura apresentou 3,3% de ácido oxálico. Conclui-se que, do ponto de vista toxicológico, o tomate industrializado seria a opção com menor concentração de ácido oxálico para o consumo.

Published: April 2023

O processamento da fruta na forma de polpa congelada surgiu como um importante segmento da cadeia produtiva, pois propicia a sua comercialização no período de entressafra com as características nutricionais e organolépticas praticamente inalteradas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a cinética de degradação de sucos naturais e processados em diferentes períodos de conservação e formas de armazenamento. As análises foram realizadas logo após o preparo e 1h, 2h e 5h após o preparo. Os sucos da fruta tiveram redução da acidez em pH em todas as amostras ao longo do tempo. As amostras de abacaxi e de laranja iniciaram o processo de degradação de ácido ascórbico logo após o preparo e o suco de caju após uma hora. A acidez total variou em cada amostra. Quanto aos sucos de polpa, houve degradação de ácido ascórbico no de abacaxi, porém, no de caju, este mostrou-se estável. A acidez total e o pH também oscilaram em cada amostra analisada. Os sólidos solúveis totais não sofreram mudanças no decorrer do tempo. Portanto, os sucos de abacaxi e de laranja devem ser consumidos logo após o preparo e o suco de caju pode ser consumido até uma hora após o preparo.

Published: April 2023

A comida de rua é um fenômeno mundial de grande importância cultural, econômica e nutricional, porém as precárias condições de comercialização dos alimentos constitui elevado risco de aquisição de doenças. No presente estudo, por meio de uma revisão integrativa analisou-se a produção científica dos últimos dez anos sobre o tema com o objetivo de conhecer o perfil socioeconômico dos vendedores ambulantes e as condições higienicossanitárias dos alimentos comercializados nas ruas das principais cidades brasileiras. A amostra final desta pesquisa constituiu-se de dez artigos originais cujos resultados caracterizaram a comida de rua brasileira como precária em relação à higiene de utensílios, de equipamentos e de locais de instalação dos ambulantes, situação agravada pela ausência de higienização das mãos dos vendedores que manipulam dinheiro e comida simultaneamente. A análise microbiológica em alimentos, bancadas e mãos dos vendedores detectou quantidades de microrganismos acima do permitido pela legislação, corroborando as pesquisas feitas por meio de observações in loco. Percebeu-se na análise dos referidos artigos que a ausência de padronização dos dados coletados nesses estudos é prejudicial à extrapolação dos resultados. Dessa forma, no presente artigo foi proposto um instrumento de coleta de dados que permitirá a obtenção de informações padronizadas sobre o setor.

Published: April 2023

Estratégia low carb tem sido estudada como mais uma alternativa utilizada no tratamento do Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2. Nesse sentido, pesquisar sobre o tema é justificável, pois o número de diabéticos no Brasil e no mundo aumentou de forma epidêmica tornando a doença uma prioridade de saúde global. Logo, esta pesquisa objetiva identificar e explicar as principais estratégias alimentares com baixo carboidrato, analisar o impacto no tratamento e prevenção da doença para que seja viável examinar os benefícios de sua utilização e comparar com as estratégias tradicionais utilizadas. Os 36 trabalhos revisados classificaram dieta low carb aquela com percentagem de carboidrato inferior ou igual a 26% da ingestão diária ou até 130g/dia e a de muito baixo carboidrato as com até 50g/dia. As informações analisadas colaboraram para mostrar que os resultados são efetivos no controle da hemoglobina glicada, perda de peso, glicemia em jejum e redução do uso de medicamentos e proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida, porém mais estudos, com prazos e amostras maiores, são necessários para apoiar essa estratégia, pois como bem disse William Osler: “Medicina é a ciência da incerteza e a arte da probabilidade”, e na nutrição não é diferente, pois a ciência não é exata.

The intension of the current study is to explore optimization in heat transfer using Cattaneo-Christovs thermal and the solutal diffusions along with heat source/sink which are non-uniform on a stagnation points flow of nanoWalter’s B fluid over an electromagnetic sheet subjected to the multiple slip mechanisms. This study also scrutinizes the role of electromagnetic fields. The flow equations are modified via incorporating suitable transformations into a self-similarity equalities. Further numerically solved by employing Runge–Kutta method of shooting technique. The acquired results shows good agreement with the previous published works. The noteworthy findings are- Walter’s B nanofluid which flow parallel to the electromagnetic sheet is assisted by the Lorentz force. Electromagnetic sheet can be used for better cooling since improvement in Hartmann declines thermal boundary layer. Augmentation in thermal, velocity, and the solutal slip parameter shrink the hydrodynamic, solutal and thermal boundary layer.

News Consumption Pattern among the Youth during Lockdown
Authors: Ravindran Raveena
Published: April 2023

The year 2020 witnessed one of the worst pandemic outbreaks in the history of humankind. The deadly coronavirus, COVID -19 took the world by storm. Even though the virus is presumed to have originated in 2019, by March 2020 it crossed all boundaries and swept everything in its way, from the global economy to trade; everything collapsed. When the entire globe was confined within four walls, social media disseminated information across borders at a lightning pace. We live in the era of digital media where everything is just a click away. Social media has replaced traditional media where most youth obtain information on any topic. However social media is also a double-edged sword, having its pros and cons. On the one hand, it helps disseminate awareness during crises, however, it also adds to the misinformation burden. COVID-19 witnessed misinformation and fake news spread like wildfire. As the World Health Organization (WHO) has described, it was an “Infodemic” running parallel to the pandemic. Unlike the olden days were news channels, newspapers and radios were the only sources of getting news updates, the advent of social media flipped the news consumption pattern. The current study looks at how news was consumed during the lockdown by a specific age group of people and how social media platforms changed the face of news consumption.
Corollaries of Gendered Body Acts: A Theoretical Understanding
Authors: Subbi Arsha
Published: April 2023

The human body has only recently been recognized as an area of study within the realms of cultural studies. While the human body has a definitive biological foundation on which it works, it is invariably influenced by the cultural and social factors that shape its activities. Cultural studies consider these aspects of personhood that are created by the interdependent working of culture and societal hegemonies. In possessing a body of a certain age and gender, the respective human body is expected to behave in a certain manner. When these expectations are breached there is a sense of discomfort and amusement. The body has become a prominent arena of academic interest recently. These aspects were addressed by Foucauldian discourses, Feminist theories, and also the surging consumer culture. Gender is one of the most prominent types of categorization that works accordingly to culture. Cultural studies address gender as an exhaustive categorization and this classifiable organism is further categorized based on the cultural attributes of ‘masculinity’ and ‘femininity’. This paper seeks to explore how each of these categories governs the way these organisms act and behave.

Budapesten létesített vízáteresztő burkolatok vízáteresztő képesség változásának vizsgálata terepen végzett mérésekkel
Authors: Sztrausz Tímea , Ács Tamás , Decsi Bence , VARGA LAURA
Published: April 2023

A vízáteresztő burkolatokat egyre gyakrabban alkalmazzák városi felületek burkolataként világszerte és hazánkban egyaránt, mivel a vízzáró felületek kiváltása hozzájárul az éghajlatváltozás okozta negatív hatások mérsékléséhez. A vízáteresztő burkolatok a csapadékvíz-gazdálkodást támogató kék-zöld infrastruktúra rendszerek egyik eszközeként segíthetnek a városi vízgyűjtőre lehullott csapadékvizek visszatartásában és a talajba való beszivárogtatásában, csökkentve ezzel a lefolyó csapadékvíz mennyiségét és javítva a helyi mikroklímát.

A vízáteresztő burkolatok egyik legfontosabb tulajdonsága a felszíni vízáteresztő képességük, amely az idő előrehaladtával az őket érő szemcsés (szennyező)anyagok hatására csökkenhet. A kutatás során 18 budapesti helyszínen végeztünk in-situ beszivárgás méréseket 2020-ban és 2021-ben öntött gumi, valamint műgyantával stabilizált szórt kavicsburkolatokon. A burkolatok kora és az áteresztő képességük között erős, exponenciális kapcsolatot találtunk, mely szerint a burkolatok vízáteresztő képessége évenként nagyjából megfeleződik. Mivel a mérési módszer típusa is hatással lehet a terepi mérések eredményére, ezért a mérések során kétfajta infiltrációs tesztet hasonlítottunk össze, szimpla és dupla gyűrűset. A két módszerrel mért vízáteresztő képesség között nem találtunk egyértelmű különbséget, azonban az azonos módszerekkel végzett, ismételt vizsgálatok esetében több, a mérés megbízhatóságát befolyásoló jelenséget és hatást is vizsgáltunk, úgymint: eltömődés, kimosódás, oldalirányú elszivárgás, térbeli heterogenitás.

Iron-deficiency anemia is the most frequent form of anemia in pregnancy and can have serious consequences for both the mother and fetus. The majority of women do not have adequate iron stores to meet the dramatic increase in requirements during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. However, there is increasing evidence that intravenous iron is more effective, provides more rapid haemoglobin correction, corrects iron stores and is better tolerated than oral iron in treating iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy.

This review article discusses the economic history and evolution of cooperatives, as well as how they have changed the worldwide life of people and countries as a whole. Cooperatives originated in the United States and expanded to the United Kingdom, Italy, Denmark, Russia, and India before reaching Africa. They have been successful because to their simple formation method, exceptional governance ideals, and member unity. Researchers conducted a Historical Methodology evidence and interpretation study that included written, oral, and physical evidence, as well as primary and secondary sources, including unpublished information. Most women in poor nations lack access to education and productive resources, making it difficult for them to make a living and actively engage in socioeconomic and political circumstances. Africa as a whole is seeing a breakthrough by one of the "World's fastest-growing economic giants" in achieving gender equality and women's economic empowerment, which are Millennium Development Goals. This paper elaborates on the advantages of cooperative development, economic growth patterns and financial independence of women as shown by cooperatives. Global issues that must be addressed include fraud, illiteracy, small loans and the way ahead. As a result, the proposals to make cooperatives more efficient are: train, educate, and develop; monitor and assess performance; government action to lift up communities and build a world that is more equal and sustainable for everyone.

Published: April 2023

Leadership is one of the most researched topics in the contemporary business organisations. Over the decades, leadership and various leadership styles have proven to be key to successful organisations. As the world is currently experiencing many transformations and new generations of employees take over, the leadership styles evolve and leaders seek for new approaches to motivate and inspire employees in achieving growth both on individual and organisational level. Accordingly, this paper explores two distinctive leadership styles, more specifically, democratic or transformational and autocratic or transactional. The research is based on the McGregors’Theory X and Theory Y of leadership. As such, X Theory argues that employees avoid tasks and responsibility, desire to be controlled and lack ambition, while Y Theory assumes that employees are creative and positive about their work, and take actions to accomplish the organisational goals. Furthermore, the paper builds upon the theoretical concept of the previous research body on leadership styles and the importance of intrinsic motivation. The concept of intrinsic motivation is further enriched with the gender perspective. The analysis anticipates quantitative research based on a previously validated instrument that was implemented among 187 employees in the biggest Macedonian electrical appliances retail company. Findings suggest that there is positive relationship between Y leadership styles and intrinsic motivation. In addition, it was identified the both male and female demonstrate similar behavior relative to Intrinsic motivation. This research endeavour, shall contribute towards understanding the current practices and desired leadership styles in a dynamic organizational setting that seeks physical interaction with the customers in a highly competitive setting such as the electric appliances retail industry in the Republic of North Macedonia. It offers grounds for further research to overcome the limitations of this paper such as the sample size, male gender prevalence and generalisation for retail industry of electrical appliances as a whole given the administration of the instrument in a single company.

Safeviler Hakkında İleri Sürülen Görüşler, Tartışmalar
Authors: Yıldırım Cengiz
Published: April 2023

Kızılbaş öncüleri olan Safeviler, gerek tarihsel kimliği gerekse ortaya koyduğu felsefesi ile dün olduğu gibi bugün de ülkemizde ve dünyada etkisini sürdürmektedir. Safeviler, XIV. yüzyılın başından günümüze İran, Azerbaycan, Kuzey Suriye, Anadolu ve Balkanlarda yaşayan Kızılbaş halkının üzerinde önemli rol oynamıştır. Fakat Safevilerle ilgili literatürde ele alınan birçok konuda yapılan tartışmalar henüz bir neticeye bağlanmış değildir. Bu da, bir taraftan Safevi Şeyhleri ve Şahlarının ismi etrafında yapılan tartışmaların odağında yaşamları, eserleri ve fikirleri yer aldığı için “Safeviler kimdir?” sorusuna verilen cevapların gözden geçirilmesini ve mevcut sorunun yeniden cevaplandırılmasını, diğer taraftan Kızılbaş ilgili farklı bakış açılarını yansıtan yeni çalışmaların gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı, Safevilerin ismi etrafında oluşan literatürden yararlanarak, Edebil Tekkesi, bu Tekke’nin Şeyhleri ve Şahları hakkında en çok tartışılan konuların başında gelen Safevilerin soyağacı (nesebname) meselesidir. Aynı zamanda ailenin mezhebi durumu (Şii, Sünni, Şafiî) ve tarikatın politize olunması Safevilerde soy meselesini ön plana çıkarmıştır. Safevi soyunun Seyyid/Arap, Fars/Acem, Türk ve Kürt olmak üzere dört farklı etnik kökene dayandırılması konuya olan ilgiyi daha da artırmıştır. Bütün bunlar göz önüne alındığında Safevilerin oluşturdukları Kızılbaş inancının, Türk kimliğinin hak ettiği düzeyde araştırma ve inceleme konusunun yapılmadığına dikkati çekmek ve bu nitelikteki çalışmaların, Safevi Şeyhleri ve Şahlarının geliştirdikleri fikirlerini ve fikirler etrafında yaşayan bağlılarını (Kızılbaş) anlamak için gerekli olduğunu ortaya koymaktır.

Stretching the elastic: UK peace activists’ understandings of social change
Authors: O’Dwyer Emma , Beascoechea Seguí Neus
Published: April 2023

While much research has been conducted on the antecedents and outcomes of activism, relatively lesser attention has been paid within social and political psychological research to the understandings of people themselves about their involvement in activism or the ways in which they conceptualise social change. Informed by social representations theory, we conducted interviews with UK peace activists, to examine how they made sense of social change dynamics in the context of their activism, and how the beliefs, opinions, and perceptions of other people (meta-representations) were implicated in these understandings. Three themes were developed using reflexive thematic analysis: (1) imagining and enacting an alternative; (2) impression management; and (3) refining the argument. Participants consistently oriented towards meta-representations of militarism in their activism, which was were consequential both for the ways in which activists communicated with and presented themselves to the public. This reflexive orientation was described as a barrier to social change but also a potential source of strength. Findings are discussed in relation to previous theoretical and empirical work.
Contextualizing Marshall McLuhan
Authors: Farrell Thomas J.
Published: April 2023

My thesis is that the Canadian Renaissance specialist and media ecology theorist and Catholic convert Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980; Ph.D. in English, Cambridge University, 1943) is an analogist. McLuhan himself developed the thesis that the Victorian Jesuit poet and Catholic convert Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) is an analogist in his 1944 article “The Analogical Mirrors,” using Hopkins’ poem “The Windover” to discuss the analogical mirrors. Because I claim that McLuhan is an analogist, I explore that broader context of analogical thought in Western cultural history. In addition, I suggest that McLuhan himself might also be characterized as a practical mystic which is how he himself characterizes G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) in his 1934 article “G. K. Chesterton: A Practical Mystic.”
Algorithm, Aphorism, and Alternatives
Authors: Gustafson Erik J.
Published: April 2023

The following paper revisited Gozzi Jr.’s (2002) probing of algorithmic and aphoristic thinking. Drawing on literature from media ecology, surveillance studies, and new materialism, the following paper argued that dichotomies between algorithmic and aphoristic thought reinforce a cartesian dualism between self and object that makes impossible meaningful discourse about, and subsequent alteration of, our data- driven technologies and policies. In his endorsement of the aphorism, Gozzi Jr. (2002) was careful to note that aphoristic thinkers did often employ algorithmic thinking in practice and principle, though the current data-driven nature of society drives a wedge deeper between these two modes of thought. Instead, a mode of thinking for the 21st century requires competency in both aphoristic thinking and ideation and algorithmic comprehension and application. Thus, the present paper explicated what is meant by the term “algorithmic society,” outlined aphoristic and algorithmic modes of thought, and offered an alternative perspective that incorporated algorithmic and aphoristic thinking in a cyclical and systemic manner in order to create space for continued discourse.
Understanding God as a Medium: A Dialogue between Albert Camus and Marshall McLuhan
Authors: Simões Pires Arthur F.
Published: April 2023

This paper discusses the idea that the deity or the divine figure serves as a medium or technology. It does so by establishing a dialogue between Albert Camus and Marshall McLuhan. There are two conceptual pillars to sustain the theoretical framework undertaken in this work: the Camusian notion of philosophical suicide and McLuhan’s aphorism “the medium is the message.” Once it is understood that the idea of God is an abundant aggregator of elements that represents all values of the creed, it is also possible to understand that it defines a relationship between oppressors and those that are oppressed. Since this figure came to be used as a support for religions to act, it has worked as a coercive device as well as it has carried all symbolic aspects of its tenet and have mediated the aforementioned relation between dominators and the dominate.
