Authors: VIEIRA Daniele Gonçalves , JURESZIK Katriane Ariadne
Published: August 2021

Nutraceuticals are foods or part of a food that provide health benefits, including the prevention and / or treatment of diseases. In this sense, curcumin, the main active compound of turmeric, popularly known as saffron, deserves considerable attention as a nutraceutical because, despite high chemical instability, it can prevent and treat complex multigenic diseases, mainly due to its antioxidant action. Therefore, nanotechnology comprises an important tool to improve compounds with proven therapeutic activity, but with a reduced pharmacokinetic profile, such as curcumin. This literature review describes the results of studies using nanostructured systems containing curcumin as nutraceuticals. The systematic review of the literature was carried out by searching for original articles that addressed the topic of interest published in the last 10 years. The results showed variety regarding the type of polymer and the method of obtainment used in the preparation of nanostructured systems described in the literature. However, in general, nanoencapsulated curcumin showed similarities in its physico-chemical characteristics and better biological performance when compared to free curcumin, overcoming the limitations of its use. Therefore, curcumin is a good example of a naturally occurring substance which therapeutic properties can be enhanced through the use of nanotechnology.

Authors: FERNANDEZ-MAESTRE Roberto , MARRUGO-GONZÁLEZ Alonso J
Published: August 2021

Chalcones (α,β-unsaturated ketones) containing aromatic or heterocyclic radicals are highly reactive, allowing the synthesis of novel organic compounds. In this study, the dissociation constants (pKa) of seven chalcones derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline were determined and the influence on dissociation of substituents in the phenyl group (-CH3, -OCH3, -N(CH3)2, -Cl, -Br, and -NO2) was analysed. pKa values are important because they determine the pH at which ligands are fully deprotonated -when they show their maximum chelating properties- and determine the ligands interactions at different pH values. The chalcones’ pKa’s were calculated by visible ultraviolet spectroscopy in a water-ethanol (1:1) mixture using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. It was shown that the 8-hydroxyquinolinic fragment has a large electron donor effect on the π system of the chalcones. The introduction of substituents (R) in the phenyl fragment of the chalcones slightly affected the dissociation of the hydroxyl group and the protonation of the nitrogen in the hydroxyquinoline fragment. The acceptor substituents (Cl, Br, NO2) increased the polarity of OH- and its acidity. Nitrogen protonation decreased electron donor properties of this fragment, and deprotonation of the hydroxyl caused the opposite effect. Substituents introduction in the phenyl fragment slightly affected hydroxyl group dissociation and nitrogen protonation.

This article describes an analytical procedure for the determination of copper in fuel samples using the modified graphite electrode basal pyrolysis (BPPGME) by tetrazolium salts: 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2Htetrazolium (MTT) Br]. The determination of metals in fuel is an issue of environmental relevance because it believes that these elements can be released into the atmosphere causing damage to the environment and health. Fuel samples (ethanol, biodiesel and gasoline) were previously digested in a microwave oven using nitric acid and peroxides (biodiesel) and only nitric acid (alcohol and gasoline). The metal ion studied reacted on the surface of the chemically modified electrode to produce marked changes in the corresponding voltammograms. In order to determine the species of interest the best results were at pH 5.0 for copper and pH 6.0 for other species. The concentration scale for copper was 2.0x10-6 at 1.25 X 10-5 mol L-1. The limit of detection in fuels of samples (ethanol, biodiesel or gasoline), by ARV was 2.5x10-6 mol L-1. The accuracy of the proposed technique was compared by providing similar results, ie the copper concentration in the samples analyzed by both techniques at a non-statistically different 95% certainty level.

Published: August 2021

Peroxidases are enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of various substrates, maintaining their enzymatic activity in wide ranges of pH and temperatures. These enzymes are used in processes for the degradation of dyes and phenolic compounds. Peroxidases are present in the tissues of several plants, and the search for new sources of this enzyme is necessary. This literature review aims to compile information about the extraction and/or purification of peroxidases contained in different plant tissues, presenting extraction methods, purification processes, enzymatic activities and their increments, according to the chemical and physical processes applied. Several plant sources can be raw material to obtain these enzymes, through different forms of extraction, where the processes of comminution predominate in the presence of buffer solution. For partial purification, are used precipitation with solvents (acetone and ethanol) and salts (ammonium sulfate) and centrifugation. For purification, chromatographic processes are used, in which molecular exclusion and affinity chromatography are prominent. It is concluded that there is a wide range of possibilities for obtaining the enzyme peroxidase from plants, with variability in the enzymatic activity when different extraction methods are applied. The purification methods used provide increases in the specific activity of the peroxidases.

Wound infection has always been a major complication of surgery and trauma. The aim of our study was to determine the bacteriology of wound infections and to study the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the isolates. The study was conducted in tertiary care hospital, Erode. The design of the study was a prospective type. Pus swabs / specimens were collected from hospitalized patients who developed wound infections. Bacterial pathogens were identified by conventional biochemical methods according to standard microbiological techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed on Muller – Hinton agar by the standard disk diffusion method. The incidence of wound infection was more common in males (63%) than in females (37%). Out of 100 culture positive samples, 61 samples were collected from diabetic ulcer patients, 20 samples were from ulcer patients, and 19 samples were from post operative patients. Of the 100 samples (culture positive), 71% collected samples showed mono-microbial growth, 29% showed two type of microbial growth. The prevalence of S. aureus (62.87%) from different wound infections was found to be high, followed by E.coli (48.65%), Klebsiella (30.21%), Pseudomonas (22.16%). Organisms showed diversity in the sensitivity pattern towards the antibiotics tested. High level of sensitivity was observed to Imipenem, Piperacillin tazobactum and Amikacin. High level of resistance was observed to Cephalosporins and Penicillin derivatives. We concluded that the sensitivity pattern of the antibiotics is not based on the infection site but on the type of organisms. This study gives us an insight to the current state of causative pathogens and their sensitivity to different antibiotics used in tertiary care hospital, Erode. The data of this study may be used to determine trends in antimicrobial susceptibilities and to modify antibiotic policy of the Hospital.

Published: August 2021

Currently, import substitution is considered as one of the priority directions of the country’s economic development, the relevance of which arose in response to the imposed sanctions of Western countries, which implies a decrease in the share of imports of products, services, technologies, the development of an industrial base in the most important industries and, ultimately, an increase in the level of economic security of the country. Despite the fact that the sanctions impose serious restrictions on the activities of leading Russian companies, in the current conditions, coupled with the ongoing coronavirus epidemic, they are a serious incentive for the implementation of the import substitution policy. Rosstat data show that the import substitution policy has led to positive consequences for the agriculture of the regions. However, the effectiveness of the state policy in the field of digitalization and the introduction of innovative artificial intelligence technologies are of particular importance for the implementation of the import substitution policy. The following positive effects from the digitalization process at the regional level, influencing the implementation of the import substitution policy, are highlighted: improving the quality of life of the region’s population; growth of labor productivity by speeding up all business processes and reducing communication time in the region; the emergence of new forms of business and new business models to increase profitability and competitiveness; increasing the transparency of business transactions and ensuring the possibility of their monitoring; ensuring the availability and promotion of goods and services to regional markets.

The structural analytical method is the main research method. It engages in grouping enterprises by product profile that have different industry markets with the dynamics of expenditures on innovation and capital assets based on data from annual reports of enterprises that are available in open access on the Internet. The result of the analysis was to identify the ratio of investment in innovation and fixed capital assets for the period of 2011 to 2018 for the city’s profile enterprises of two groups of manufacturing industries: the production of machinery and equipment and the production of measuring, monitoring, and control tools. The first group consist of companies that produce traditional products. The have a stable level of spending on innovation in the time range. The second group is enterprises that produce products that are constantly subject to changes at the request of consumers. They can see a trend of increasing costs for innovation. The conclusion is made about the influence market conditions on the intensity of innovation and technological development – on the dynamics of investments in fixed assets. We see the possibility of makinging use of identifying ratios of innovation costs and capital assets investment in the formation of the enterprise investment policy. It is appropriate to focus follow-up studies on further research of both external and internal factors of enterprise resource allocation.

SPATIAL ASPECTS OF THE REGION’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Vologda Research Center of the RAS, Uskova Tamara V.
Published: August 2021

One of the most relevant issues causing concern of the world community is the ensurance of sustainable development. The problem was raised in the second half of the 20th century and has not been solved up to the present yet. The main idea of the article is to consider the spatial factor of sustainable development. The author shows that there is a high level of territories’ socio-economic differentiation in the Russian Federation. The problem of increasing polarization both between the center and periphery, and between the town and countryside has become particularly urgent. Rural areas are significantly lagging behind in terms of the population’s level and quality of life, and the rates of socio-economic development. The trends of rural extinction are intensifying and, as a result, there emerge the sparsity of economic space, and the decrease in stability of the national settlement system and development of countries as a whole. The increase of socio-economic problems in rural areas requires strengthening of the state regulation concerning the territories’ spatial development.
Business language evolution – accounting
Authors: Lew Grzegorz
Published: August 2021

All decisions of entrepreneurs and actions are determined by economic accounts. Each action has financial implications. Entrepreneurs looking for the possibility to record the financial consequences of their decisions naturally created an accounting system, which has become a widespread and universal information system of companies all over the world. Accounting has also changed with the development of companies on global markets. This evolution has led to the separation of two main accounting subsystems: financial and management accounting. Analyzing the process of accounting evolution, it can be concluded that the subsequent stages cover a shorter and shorter period of time, which can be interpreted as a constant acceleration of changes in accounting and consequently in the development of markets and companies in the global market. The main research method used to write the paper was a critical review of literature and desk research.
Wydatki na staże w powiatowym urzędzie pracy w Jarosławiu w latach 2017–2018
Authors: Kożak-Siara Tatiana , Dorota Ewelina

W latach 2017–2018 w Polsce, jak i w analizowanym województwie podkarpackim i powiecie jarosławskim nastąpił znaczny spadek poziomu bezrobocia. Jednocześnie wzrastały wydatki na aktywizację bezrobotnych. Większość osób bezrobotnych i pracodawców, jak pokazują analizy, korzysta z dotychczasowych form aktywizacji, takich jak prace interwencyjne, roboty publiczne, doposażenie stanowiska pracy czy staże. Ocena polityki rynku pracy wymusza na urzędach pracy analizę skuteczności stosowanych programów. Badanie efektywności programów aktywizujących zawsze ukierunkowane jest na wzrost zatrudnienia poprzez podjęcie przez osobę bezrobotną pracy lub stworzenie warunków dla samozatrudnienia. Ważną kwestią jest również analiza wskaźników finansowych wyrażających relacje pomiędzy poniesionymi wydatkami a realnym zmniejszaniem się bezrobocia. W powiecie jarosławskim taką formą, w którą inwestuje Urząd Pracy i która przynosi wymierne korzyści w zwiększającej się ilości osób podejmujących zatrudnienie, są staże. Wykonanie planu środków z Funduszu Pracy w analizowanych latach wynosiło blisko 100%, co przełożyło się pozytywnie na liczbę osób podejmujących pracę po zakończeniu stażu.
Open Educational Resources in Business Law: Notes from the Field
Authors: Faith Timothy S. , Mandl Donna , Burke Jill
Published: August 2021

Open educational resources (OERs) are an alternative textbook to publisher materials used by colleges and universities. OER materials have a cost advantage for students; many are published as free or cost-reduced textbooks for students. The authors developed and piloted an OER textbook for Business Law I in the Management program of the School of Business, Technology and Law. Over 800 Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) students enroll in this course each academic year. The authors evaluated the cost savings for students compared to traditional publisher materials, and also examined student success rates in OER courses compared to traditional publisher courses. The authors’ assessment is that OER materials can save students substantial costs to attend college, and though there is some difference in student success between OER and traditional publisher courses, this variation is likely explained by other independent variables such as the course teaching modality. The process for receiving funding, developing OER-based materials on a publicly available and no-cost website, and distributing the materials to students is also discussed.
Can Students Learn to Use Textbooks Effectively?
Authors: Prentice Linda , Twum Gideon
Published: August 2021

Can a class assignment covering the reading help students do better in an introductory chemistry class for nonmajors? Two sections of the same course have been compared where one section had a reading assignment that "forced" the students to interact with the text while the other class had the typical homework, quiz assignments, and discussion posts. Both groups took 3 exams and the final exam. A t-test compared the means for each exam, the final exam, and the overall class average. The mean was higher for the group that had the reading assignment in each case. The mean for the class was 71.3% versus 66.7% (p value = 0.050). The mean for exam 1 was 73.0% versus 60.5% (p = 0.052). The mean for exam 2 was 73.3% versus 67.5% (p = 0.225). The mean for exam 3 was 76.9% versus 62.4% (p = 0.044). The final exam was 56.6% versus 55.3% (p = 0.445). The implication may be that students do not understand how to study or what is involved in effective studying. When reading the text is incentivized as an assignment, more students seemed to interact with the text, and more were likely to succeed in the class. This paper examines how interacting with the text for a class supports comprehension.

The activity of chitinases in protein extracts, separated from the male and female leaves of Actinidia arguta L., healthy and infested plants by Trialeurodes vaporariorum, was analyzed. We found that there were no significant differences in chitinase activity in both male and female leaf extracts of healthy plants. But the enzyme activity in female leaves of infested plants was twice as high as in healthy plants. While in the male leaves, less attacked by the respective pests, only a tendency towards the increase of chitinase activity was observed.
