Authors: Anam Amin  , Laiba Tanveer  , Emmania Abid  , Mahnoor Absar  , Mahnoor Tariq
Published: September 2024

Global warming and food insecurity are global concerns, with agriculture being a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, from agricultural activities significantly impact climate change. Approximately 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. Nitrous oxide is 300 times stronger than carbon dioxide and is mainly produced from organic manure and fertilizers. Methane, another potent greenhouse gas, is released during fermentation, manure management, and burning of residues. Carbon dioxide, a major contributor to climate change, is emitted through farming practices, fertilizers, pesticides, and deforestation. Climate change affects food security by directly impacting crop production and indirectly affecting food availability, cost, and supply chains. Hunger rates have been increasing globally, emphasizing the need to control global warming to reduce food insecurity. This review highlights various mitigation strategies for controlling greenhouse gases from agriculture with improved crop productivity. Soil characterization techniques, such as X-ray computed tomography, tracer and chamber-based methods, help to understand the soil composition for greenhouse gas mitigation strategies. Soil amendments, like biochar application can effectively reduce emissions by modifying microbial activity and biogeochemical processes. Controlled irrigation practices, minimum and zero tillage, and efficient nitrogen fertilizer usage also contribute to greenhouse gas mitigation and improves crop productivity. Strategies such as slow release of fertilizers and the use of inhibitors help to increase nitrogen usage efficiency and reduce nitrous oxide emissions. Implementing these strategies globally is crucial for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, reducing global warming, and ensuring food security.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial antifúngico de extratos de Syzygium malaccense (L.) Merr. & L.M. Perry utilizando dois métodos de extração, soxhlet e ultrassom, e em seguida submeter os extratos frente às cepas de Candida albicans (CFAM 1458), Candida glabrata (CFAM 1465) e Candida tropicalis (CFAM 1450). Foram analisadas oito concentrações dos extratos (0,02 g, 0,05 g, 0,10 g, 0,15 g, 0,20 g, 0,25 g, 0,30 g, 0,35 g). Para a avaliação da atividade antifúngica, foi utilizado o método de disco difusão, em triplicata para cada tratamento, as placas desse experimento foram incubadas a 35 °C em estufa B.O.D., onde foram observadas por 72h, posteriormente os halos de inibição formados foram medidos e as médias obtidas foram utilizadas na análise estatística (ANOVA). Os extratos obtidos pelo método ultrassônico da folha foram capazes de inibir o crescimento de todas as Candidas, enquanto o extrato da flor apresentou menor eficiência. O extrato da folha obtido pelo método soxhlet foi o único a apresentar atividade antifúngica contra a C. glabrata. Portanto, neste trabalho, foi observado que os extratos metanólicos e etanólicos ultrassônicos de Syzygium malaccense (L.) Merr. & L.M. Perry apresentaram melhor atividade antifúngica.

Este artigo explora as desigualdades sociais e educacionais no Brasil, enfatizando como elas afetam o acesso à educação de qualidade e perpetuam ciclos de pobreza e exclusão social. Através de uma análise qualitativa, fundamentada em revisão de literatura e análise documental, o estudo identifica barreiras socioeconômicas, raciais e de gênero que limitam as oportunidades educacionais para grupos marginalizados. A interseccionalidade, conforme discutida por Crenshaw (1989), é destacada como essencial para compreender as múltiplas camadas de opressão que afetam o acesso à educação. O impacto da pandemia de COVID-19, que ampliou as desigualdades tecnológicas, é também abordado. Embora políticas públicas como o Programa Bolsa Família tenham contribuído para a inclusão educacional, os resultados sugerem que tais iniciativas são insuficientes para eliminar as desigualdades estruturais. Comparações com modelos internacionais, como o sistema educacional nórdico, sugerem que abordagens mais inclusivas e adaptadas às realidades locais podem mitigar as desigualdades no Brasil. Conclui-se que, para que a educação cumpra seu papel emancipador e promova justiça social, é necessário um compromisso renovado com políticas públicas que abordem essas desigualdades de forma holística, transformando práticas pedagógicas e garantindo uma educação inclusiva e democrática.
Georg Hegel, Johann Herbart e John Dewey: filósofos e educadores que influenciaram o pensamento educacional contemporâneo
Authors: Freitas Marcel de Almeida , Izaú Vitória Régia , Gonçalves Lina Maria , Noronha Inês de Oliveira
Published: September 2024

Este artigo objetiva apresentar algumas contribuições de três pensadores que também foram educadores que influenciaram o pensamento educacional entre a segunda metade do século XVIII e o começo do século XX: Georg Hegel [1830], a partir do universalismo idealista, Johann Herbart [1806], com base no funcionalismo e John Dewey [1906], com o pragmatismo. Utilizou-se como metodologia o levantamento de referências bibliográficas, tanto de obras dos próprios autores como de outros pesquisadores que desenvolveram trabalhos sobre eles. Destaca-se no pensamento Hegel a ideia de totalidade, a dialética e a historicidade; em Herbart, o reconhecimento da Pedagogia como ciência e o rigor didático e, por último, em Dewey, a educação centrada no educando e na democracia no ambiente escolar. Em razão disso, conclui-se que esses três pensadores são fundamentais para o campo educacional atual, especialmente para o desdobramento histórico da Filosofia e da Sociologia da Educação e para o desenvolvimento de diferentes práticas pedagógicas.
Exploration on the Teaching Practice of Color Foundation of Painting Majors in Colleges and Universities
Authors: Chen Guodong , Li Yamei
Published: September 2024

Color foundation teaching is the main content of the color expression ability in the painting major of colleges and universities. The traditional color training methods are prone to being misunderstood as the cultivation of the representation techniques of objects of varying difficulties, thereby neglecting that the fundamental purpose of color foundation training is for creative expression. Compared with the traditional course model, the creative consciousness and concept guidance model is a reliable approach to address the expression issues during students' color foundation training at all stages. The traditional color teaching method of combining sketching from life and silent drawing often leads students to form passive, indiscriminate, and emotionless simulations of objects, causing the objects themselves to lose their significance of being depicted. The color lacks directionality and expressive purpose. Works overly rely on the accidental effects produced by unconscious object projection or the meticulousness of work processing, resulting in "sketching" becoming "stifled sketching". The creative consciousness and concept guidance model emphasizes extracting the characteristics of objects. Educators attach importance to discovering and affirming the accidental writing and incompleteness that occur during students' color practice, helping students create their own color imagery based on the objects they are representing at any stage of color learning.
What it Takes to be a Good International Chinese Teacher
Authors: Zeng Wenjuan
Published: September 2024

After the recovery of international Chinese education in 2023, the demand for international Chinese teachers overseas has returned, which also means that the demand for truly excellent international Chinese teachers has also begun to rise. As a student who is about to become an international Chinese teacher, how to become an excellent international Chinese teacher and complete the teaching mission of an international Chinese teacher is the main issue worthy of deep consideration. Thinking about this issue can be carried out throughout the student's learning life and into future teaching activities. "The unity of knowledge and action" is the most common point in Chinese philosophical wisdom, and it is also the most difficult point to achieve in practical activities. As an excellent international Chinese teacher, we must achieve the "unity of knowledge and action", clarify the teaching mission in the teaching process, take positive and correct concepts as the guide, and truly achieve the responsibility and mission of "language teaching and cultural dissemination" that a Chinese language teacher should do, so as to promote the development of Chinese to the world and expand more possibilities for exchanges between China and the world.

Published: September 2024

This paper discusses applying the UbD (Understanding by Design) based model in teaching C language cyclic structure program design. Aiming at the problems existing in the traditional teaching of C language, such as emphasizing theory over practice, single case, and single teaching method, the UbD model, through the concept of reverse instructional design, first determines the expected learning outcomes, and then designs the assessment evidence and specific teaching activities. The article describes in detail the three stages in the instructional design of the cyclic structure of C language using the UbD model: determining the expected outcomes, identifying suitable assessment evidence, and designing learning experiences and teaching activities. Teaching practice shows that instructional design utilizing the UbD model has significant advantages in enhancing students' interest in learning, strengthening classroom interaction, and promoting deep learning.

The concept of outcomes-based education makes use of the internal connection between electronic practical courses to further define the educational objectives. It enriches teaching methods and teaching resources, and carries out the "goal-oriented", "capacity-oriented" and "demand-oriented" combination, to integrate with "student-centered" curriculum reform. Based on the result-oriented multi-course integration teaching reform of electronic practice, aiming at the internal connection of electronic practice courses, closely following the orientation of electronic information specialty, this paper constructs the integration reform program, designs multi-course fusion experiment with teaching case, demonstrating the whole course.  We take "experiment peripheral board" as carrier, regard experiment teaching as grasping hand, link up four specialized courses in series, break the course barrier to cultivate students' practical ability and to provide theoretical guidance for the construction of talents' ability with new engineering achievement-oriented concept.
In Dire Straits. Multidimensional Household Debt in the Netherlands
Authors: van der Burgt Henry
Published: September 2024

In the wake of the 2007 global financial crisis, household debt and its corrosive effects on everyday life have seen increasing attention from academia, debt counselling, policy makers and the media. Due to subsequent years of economic precarity, household debt continues to negatively affect a substantial number of lives worldwide to this day. The Netherlands has not escaped this development, leaving more than 700,000 Dutch households affected by a problem debt in 2023. Following a historical lineage of economic anthropology, this study widens the perspective on what constitutes a problem debt in everyday life by assuming a multidimensional point of view that accounts for social, cultural, moral and health-related influences. The study develops this perspective on the foundation of Bourdieu’s capital theory, which it operationalises as an equation of assets and liabilities. The study plots these assets and liabilities across the debt maelstrom, a visualisation of the interaction between the economic, social, cultural, health and moral dimension of everyday life. By applying this debt maelstrom to a rich collection of empirically collected debt narratives the study develops a framework of indebtedness which relates the conditions of indebtedness to the restrained agency of people in debt.

Authors: Karadavut Hilal , Haçat Gülnur , Çıbık Aytekin
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) used for modeling the flow in the cardiovascular system are investigated using the Finite Element Method (FEM). A fully discrete solution scheme of the NSE and its stability and error analysis are presented. Artificial viscosity stabilization is added to the fully discrete scheme to better model the real flow structure and to remove non-physical oscillations. Numerical tests are also presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the resulting scheme. Simulations analyzing the flow structure in the case of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and brain aneurysm are presented in detail along with wall shear stress values.

Authors: Ghimire Animesh , Thapa Basanta
Published: September 2024

Background and objective: The COVID-19 pandemic intensified global nursing shortages, underscoring the urgency to understand the evolving motivations of undergraduate nursing students (UNS). While intrinsic and extrinsic factors are known to influence career choices, the pandemic's impact necessitates a closer examination of these motivations. This scoping review maps and explores primary research on the multifaceted motivations influencing UNS career decisions during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a comprehensive overview of the factors shaping the future nursing workforce.Methods: Guided by Arksey and O'Malley's framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a systematic search across five databases (CINAHL, PsycInfo, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus) identified relevant studies published between January 2020 and January 2024. Rigorous screening and data extraction were followed by qualitative synthesis to identify key motivational themes.Results: Thirteen studies from diverse regions (Asia, Middle East, United States, Europe) revealed a complex interplay of intrinsic (e.g., personal fulfillment, altruism) and extrinsic (e.g., financial security, job prospects) motivations. The pandemic amplified concerns about occupational risks and work-life balance while highlighting the profession's societal value. Gender disparities emerged, with distinct motivations and barriers observed among male and female students.Conclusions: This review provides a nuanced understanding of UNS career motivations in the pandemic era, emphasizing the need for tailored recruitment and retention strategies that address both intrinsic aspirations and extrinsic concerns. By recognizing the multifaceted nature of motivations and their regional variations, stakeholders can foster a resilient and adaptable nursing workforce equipped to meet the challenges of the evolving healthcare landscape.

A qualidade da confecção da silagem envolve diversas etapas, a qual exige a utilização de matérias específicos que evitem ao máximo o contato do material ensilado com o ambiente externo, visto que a retirada do oxigênio e o isolamento do material ensilado são fatores diretamente relacionados com a integridade do processo. O trabalho de pesquisa foi realizado no Núcleo de produção animal (NUPRAN) da Universidade estadual do centro-oeste (UNICENTRO), em Guarapuava, PR, Brasil, objetivando avaliar o efeito de vedação em silos de silagem de milho sobre perdas e valor nutricional da forragem, assim como sobre o desempenho, consumo de matéria seca, digestibilidade aparente e comportamento ingestivo de novilhos terminados em confinamento. As dietas foram constituídas por 35% de silagem de milho e 65% de concentrado, na base seca. O período de confinamento foi de 112 dias, sendo 28 dias de adaptação e 84 dias avaliativos divididos em 3 períodos de 28 dias cada. Foram utilizados 36 novilhos ½ Angus Nelore, machos inteiros, com peso médio inicial de 401 kg e idade média de 12 meses. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, constituído de três tratamentos com seis repetições, onde cada baia com dois animais representou uma unidade experimental: T1 - PEBD90 (Lona dupla face de 3 camadas de polietileno de baixa densidade, com espessura de 90 µm); T2 - PEBD200 (Lona dupla face de 3 camadas de polietileno de baixa densidade, com espessura de 200 µm); e T3 - PEBD/PEAD (Lona em cor prata com 1 camada de polietileno de baixa densidade com polietileno de alta densidade em laminação cruzada em “x” entre os polímeros, com espessura de 150 µm). O uso do PEBD200 na vedação de silos de silagem milho promoveu redução de perdas, maior estabilidade aeróbia e aumentou a digestibilidade ruminal da MS em relação aos demais tipos de polietileno. Novilhos terminados em confinamento, com a alimentação de silagem de milho de silos trincheiras vedados com PEBD200 apresentaram maior ganho de peso médio diário (1,509 kg dia-1), digestibilidade aparente da matéria seca (63,39 %) e melhor eficiência de transformação da MS ingerida em carcaça (10,79 DMI DCG-1) comparativamente às vedações PEBD/PEAD e PEBD90. A vedação com PEBD200 é o mais indicado na conservação de silagem de milho, devido sua capacidade de proporcionar maior estabilidade aeróbia da massa ensilada, reduzir perdas durante o armazenamento, aumentar degradação ruminal da MS e melhorar o desempenho de novilhos terminados em confinamento.

Published: September 2024

The study aimed to determine the chemical composition, apparent digestibility of dry matter, energy, and nutrients of Dehydrated Brewery Residue (DBR) for New Zealand White rabbits, as well as evaluate performance, biochemical and immunological blood parameters, carcass characteristics, and meat quality. Two experiments were carried out: digestibility and performance, both in a completely randomized design. In the digestibility experiment, 20 animals of mixed sexes were used, from 45 to 60 days of age, which consumed reference feed (RF) or test feed (TF - 70% RF + 30% DBR). In the performance experiment, 50 mixed-sex animals were used from 31 to 70 days of age. For digestibility, bromatological analyses were made of total dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), ether extract (EE), mineral matter (MM), organic matter (OM), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), gross energy (GE), hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin from samples of feces, feed (RF and TF) and experimental feed (DBR). In terms of performance, the treatments were the basal feed (BF) + four TF, made up of increasing levels of DBR inclusion (10, 20, 30, and 40%). Overall, the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of DM was 64.68 ±7.91%, while the ADC of GE and CP were 67.39 ±7.79% and 80.64 ±8.99%, respectively, resulting in digestible energy and digestible protein contents of 3,081 ±356 kcal/kg and 17.97 ±2.00%. There was a linear reduction (P<0.05) in the final weight, daily weight gain, and daily feed intake, but there was a linear reduction in production costs (P<0.05) for both the 31- to 50-day phase and the 31- to 70-day phase. Circulating levels of calcium (P=0.013) and phosphorus (P=0.019) responded in a linear decreasing pattern to the experimental feeds. The same response was observed for slaughter weight, hot and cold carcass weight, yield of skin, head, commercial cuts, and relative weight of edible organs, as well as meat quality, in which the loss of water on thawing (P=0.004) and shear force (P=0.005) indicated less juiciness and less tenderness in the meat. Levels of 10 to 40% DBR in feed for rabbits from 31 to 70 days of age mitigate production costs, but result in a worsening of performance and reduce circulating levels of calcium and phosphorus, reduce carcass weight, commercial cuts, and edible organs, as well as increasing water loss on thawing, and reducing meat tenderness.
Fronteiras epistêmicas, fronteiras espaciais e a decolonialidade em Tybyra: uma tragédia brasileira
Authors: Klipel Renata de Oliveira
Published: September 2024

Este artigo se propõe a refletir sobre a concepção de fronteira no sentido concreto do termo, como linha que demarca cartograficamente territórios, mas também no seu sentido abstrato, isto é, levando em consideração aspectos culturais e sociais que impõem limites epistêmicos dentro de um mesmo território. Colocaremos em debate a crença na existência de uma única língua nacional, pela qual se produz uma literatura que contribui para o estabelecimento de uma cultura nacional, resultando em uma comunidade homogênea, ou uma nação. Em contraponto a esta ideia, Walter Mignolo, no capítulo V de seu livro Histórias locais projetos globais,(2003), enfatiza os efeitos do caráter transnacional das línguas, evidenciando igualmente como se deu a construção da ideologia nacionalista sobre a língua e a literatura. A partir deste texto e de conceitos da teoria decolonial, buscaremos analisar a peça de teatro escrita por Juão Nyn, Tybyra, uma tragédia indígena brasileira, como exemplo de efetiva quebra de fronteiras pela língua, uma vez que, além de serem introduzidas palavras em guarani na obra, há a demarcação indígena na língua portuguesa pela troca da letra “i” pelo “y”, letra sagrada em tupi-guarani.

Discovering Variability in Population of T-Lymphocyte Subsets Present in Peripheral Blood of Patients Co-Infected by HIV and HBV Through Laboratory Medicine
Authors: Ibrahim Suzan Eid Elshishtawy
Published: September 2024

An alarming number of 296 million individuals in Egypt have recently been diagnosed as HBV positive; because these two viruses share similar routes of transmission, about 10% of this population is also thought to be HIV positive. It is widely acknowledged that coinfection with HIV and HBV has a significant negative effect on the immune system and accelerates the loss of T-lymphocyte subpopulations, which are essential for immunological defense. This enlightening study, carried out in Cairo, Egypt, explores the complicated dynamics of T-cell subsets and carefully looks at the immunological effects and frequency of coinfection between HIV and HBV. Naturally, of the 35 patients in the cohort under examination, an impressive 8.4% had coinfections with HBV and HIV. Systematic immunophenotyping of several T-cell subsets, such as CD4+, CD8+, CD45RO, CD16+56, and CD45RA, was used in the study, and the results showed clear differences between coinfected and mono-infected peopleUsing trustworthy methods like microfluid inertial separation and flow cytometry has given researchers significant insights into the complex immunological circumstances connected to HIV/HBV coinfection. Interestingly, a significant decrease in CD4+ cells—a crucial marker of HIV progression—was observed in over 50% of the coinfected patients, suggesting an accelerated course of the illness in these individuals. Moreover, the study establishes the foundation for particular treatment strategies and adds to our scientific understanding coinfection dynamics. These therapies, based on the study’s detailed findings, can potentially improve patient outcomes despite this difficult coinfection setting. To manage the difficulties of HIV/HBV coinfection, the research emphasizes the importance of ongoing attention and the incorporation of cutting-edge diagnostic techniques, eventually advancing public health activities.

Aim: In our retrospective study, we examined patients who underwent percutaneous intervention (PCI) for ischemia involving saphenous vein grafts (SVG). Our objective was to analyze the impact of inflammation and thrombotic events on the no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) post-intervention. For this purpose, we aimed to determine whether the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) is a risk factor for the NRP. Patients were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of NRP, and we investigated whether there was a statistically significant difference in SII between the groups.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 30 patients who had previously undergone surgical revascularization and underwent PCI on SVG due to ischemia between May 4, 2023, and July 31, 2024. Post-procedural blood flow was evaluated, and patients were divided into two groups based on the development of NRP. The relationship between NRP and SII was examined.
Results: The study demonstrated that patients who experienced the NRP had significantly higher SII levels. Additionally, the duration of the procedure was significantly longer in patients with no-reflow. Systemic risk factors, such as age, gender, and comorbidities, were similar between the no-reflow and normal flow groups.
Conclusion: This study indicates that inflammation plays a key role in determining flow outcomes following PCI. Further clinical studies focused on reducing inflammation and improving flow are needed.
Impact of zonulin on the depressive and anxious states in patients with ulcerative colitis
Authors: Uyanik Tuba , Karakan Tarkan
Published: September 2024

Aim: The objective of this study is to investigate serum zonulin levels in patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and to examine the association between serum zonulin concentrations and the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventory scores. Symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are believed to be associated with increased intestinal permeability. Zonulin, a protein that modulates tight junctions between cells of the intestinal wall, has been studied as a marker of intestinal barrier integrity.
Materials and Methods: This study was designed as a prospective investigation, conducted among patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who were in clinical remission, as determined by both clinical assessments and laboratory tests, between November and December 2017. Demographic and clinical data were collected. All consecutive patients were evaluated using the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories. Serum zonulin levels were measured in each patient.
Results: The mean age of the 50 patients was 47.3±12.2 years. The mean disease duration of these patients was 7.2±5.9 years. Mild depression was observed in 10 patients (20%), while moderate depression was present in 3 patients (6%). Similarly, mild anxiety affected 8 patients (16%), and moderate anxiety was noted in 6 patients (12%). Serum zonulin levels were significantly higher in obese patients compared to those with normal or overweight body mass indices (p<0.001). Serum zonulin levels showed a moderate positive correlation with body mass index (r=0.586, p<0.001), Beck Depression Inventory scores (r=0.508, p<0.001), and Anxiety Inventory scores (r=0.437, p=0.002).
Conclusion: Obesity was significantly associated with elevated serum zonulin levels. In addition, depression and anxiety scores were moderately correlated with serum zonulin levels in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Bedömning av VattendragsIndeX (VIX) vid fångst av ål
Authors: Näslund Joacim , Andersson Mikael
Published: September 2024

Fisk utgör en av kvalitetsfaktorerna för att bedöma ekologisk status i svenska vattendrag. VattendragsIndeX (VIX) är idag det huvudsakliga svenska fiskindex som används vid statusklassificering inom den bedömningsgrund som är framtagen för fisk i rinnande vatten. Att ålen (Anguilla anguilla) ofta har en omotiverat negativ påverkan på VIX är ett problem som är känt i områden där ål regelbundet fångas vid elfiske, eftersom fiskfaunans indexbedömda status tenderar att bero på huruvida ål fångas eller ej. I en vetenskaplig utvärdering där ålens effekter på VIX granskades dras slutsatsen att ålens negativa effekt har att göra med artens klassificering som ”tolerant” i VIX-beräkningarna (Näslund m.fl., 2022a ). Dessutom föreslår den vetenskapliga granskningen att expertbedömning av kvalitetsfaktorn fisk borde krävas i de fall där ål fångas. Detta på grund av att ålens negativa effekt på statusbedömning med VIX och målen i ålförvaltningsplanen står emot varandra; det går inte att stärka ålens förekomst i Sverige utan att samtidigt riskera att den ekologiska statusen i många vattendrag minskar (givet att statusbedömningen baseras på VIX). För att underlätta rimlighets- och expertbedömning presenteras här en metod för att undersöka om fångad ål har negativa effekter på statusklassificering med VIX. Detta görs genom att räkna ut två modifierade VIX-värden: 1. VIXMOD1: ålen antas vara en neutral art vad gäller generell tolerans mot olika påverkansfaktorer. 2. VIXMOD2: ålen exkluderas helt från beräkningarna. Den första modifieringen VIXMOD1 bibehåller ålens bidrag till artmångfalden i provfiskefångsten utan att ålens negativa effekt på VIX (som tolerant art). Den andra modifieringen VIXMOD2 ger det värde på VIX som skulle erhållits givet att ålen inte skulle ha fångats i provfisket. I rapporten presenteras tre exempel där modifierade VIX-värden används i hypotetiska rimlighets- och expertbedömningar. Expertbedömningarna nyttjar dels modifierade VIX-värden, men även information om huruvida ålen förekommer naturligt på platsen, om utplantering av ål har skett, ålens storleksfördelning, huruvida intoleranta arter förekommer och hur vanliga dessa är, samt trendutvecklingen för de vanligast förekommande arterna. VIXMOD1 och VIXMOD2 är i sig inte att beakta som egna index eller sidoindex till VIX, utan huvudsakligen verktyg som kan appliceras för rimlighetsbedömning och som en del av en expertbedömning. De ursprungliga VIX-värdena är inte direkt utbytbara med VIXMOD1 och VIXMOD2 vid rapportering av fisksamhällets status.
Subaltern Geopolitics of Closed Borders: Russophone Minorities in Estonia and Finland
Authors: Makarychev Andrey , Yarovoy Gleb
Published: September 2024

The article discusses how geopolitical discourses and related performative practices of bordersensitive groups in countries neighbouring Russia are transformed by the war in Ukraine. Based mainly on the mixture of ethnographic methods (semi-structured interviews and unprovoked talk), the article is built around the study of vernacular geopolitics of Russian speakers living in the city of Narva, Estonia, and Finland. It suggests that the geopolitical narrative of these ethnolinguistic groups is changing from subaltern, neither dominant nor resistant geopolitical imagination, to oppositional geopolitics. This transformation takes place through public expression in the form of creative performances (Estonia) or online and offline protests (Finland). In this way, Russian speakers seek to acquire a political agency, local (in the case of Estonia) or national (in the case of Finland).
Spatial Analysis and Trend Prediction of UN Climate Change News based on Proximization Theory
Authors: Ying Chen , Wu Jingjing
Published: September 2024

Climate change is a major global challenge. The United Nations plays a key role in conveying information on climate change. This study using Piotr Cap’s Proximization Theory analyzes UN News samples, focusing on the usage of Proximization Theory and how the United Nations constructs the threat of peripheral entities under the Proximization Theory. The UN’s reports predominantly employ spatial proximization, supplemented by temporal proximization, emphasizing climate change’s impact on people’s lives and urging immediate attention. Spatial proximization highlights the impact of human activities on the environment, urging urgency. Axiological proximization constructs positive and negative values, justifying defensive action. Temporal proximization focuses on imminent dangers, urging immediate response.

Objetivo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo a revisão dos principais locais de ocorrência dos meningiomas, evidenciando suas relações com as estruturas adjacentes e a maneira como estes achados se apresentam nos exames de imagem, especialmente na ressonância magnética. Métodos: Foram analisadas imagens de exames obtidas em aparelhos de ressonância magnética de 1,5 T, realizados em clínica privada de radiologia e diagnóstico por imagem, entre janeiro e dezembro de 2022. Introdução: Os meningiomas constituem o tumor primário mais comum do sistema nervoso central e, embora mais comuns no compartimento supratentorial, podem ocorrer no compartimento infratentorial e até mesmo no canal vertebral (meningiomas espinhais). Resultados: Os meningiomas em sua maioria ocorrem no compartimento supratentorial e muitas vezes são assintomáticos, já que apresentam crescimento lento. Apesar disso, podem se desenvolver em outros compartimentos do sistema nervoso central e, especialmente quando volumosos, comprometer estruturas nobres. Neste sentido, os exames de imagem exercem um importante papel, sendo capazes de demonstrar a forma com que estas relações ocorrem e fornecer informações relevantes aos cirurgiões. Conclusão: Os exames de imagem são de fundamental importância no diagnóstico dos meningiomas, pois são capazes de informar os mais variados locais de ocorrência, além de detectar os efeitos sobre as estruturas adjacentes, influenciando no diagnóstico e tratamento.

Fungal infection is one of the common dermatological diseases. Drug delivery systems for topical use have shown significant advantages in targeting the drug to the action site in the body and also reduces the systemic side effects. Itraconazole was chosen as a model drug with low aqueous solubility. In the present study an attempt was made to prepare itraconazole loaded nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC). Different formulations were prepared by hot homogenization technique using solid lipid and liquid lipid (Compritol 888 & Caprol PGE 860) and surfactants (Poloxamer 188, tween 80). All the Formulations were characterized for drug content, entrapment efficiency, particle size, poly dispersity index, zeta potential &in vitro drug release and FTIR was done to study any interaction between excipients. The best formulation shows better drug release and entrapment efficiency 83.2%. the best formulation F3 showed better in-vitro drug release 55.46% at the end of 8th hour. The F3 was made into gel using Carbopol as a gelling agent. SEM study revealed that the NLC gel shows the particle size was found to be 500 nm in size smooth surfaces. NLC gel shows Drug release of NLC gel followed non- Fickian diffusion. NLC gel were stable at 40 ± 2ֹ°C and 75 ± 5% RH. Thus, the prepared NLC gel proved to be a potential candidate as a topical nanoparticulate sustained drug delivery system for itraconazole (BCS class II drug). keywords: Itraconazole, Nanoparticle Lipid Carrier, Lipids.
