Published: May 2024

Background: Worldwide, obesity in adolescents is an epidemiological concern. Overweight and obesity are associated with comorbidities in adult life, such as increased risk of hypertension and other non-communicable diseases. This study investigated possible differences between traditional lipid markers and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions in a population-wide representative sample of Brazilian adolescents. Methods: The individuals included in the study comprise a subsample of the 2015 Health Survey of São Paulo (ISA-Capital 2015). LDL and HDL particle sizes were determined by the Lipoprint® System (Quantimetrix Corporation). Results: 272 Brazilian adolescents with a mean age of 15.2 ± 2.2 years, of which 47.8% (n = 130) are boys. Analysis of LDL subfractions showed an increase in LDL 2 content in girls (5.7% vs. 5.1%; p = 0.047). This result was associated with a higher content of large LDL in girls (17.8% vs. 13.5%; p < 0.001) and a significant, lower content of small LDL (1.7% vs. 3.4%; p = 0.002). When obesity was considered, we observed that regardless of being overweight, girls had higher large and small LDL than boys. However, when a large to small LDL ratio was calculated, girls with no excess weight had higher values than boys with no excess weight (10.6 vs. 9.3; p = 0.038), and these had lower LDL ratio than overweight boys (9.3 vs. 13.5; p = 0.016). On the other hand, boys had higher HDL 2 content than girls (8.9% vs. 8.0%; p = 0.017), which was associated with increased large HDL values in boys (1.9% vs. 1.7%; p = 0.047). Regression analysis was performed according to gender, the sum of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) + intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) C + IDL B subfractions was adjusted for age and body mass index (BMI), showing that girls had lower atherogenic lipid profile (β = 0.987; CI = 0.977-0.998; p = 0.017) than boys. When the regression analysis was performed according to BMI, large LDL in adolescents with no excess weight presented a lower atherogenic lipid profile (β = 1.040; CI = 1.000-1.082; p = 0.049), adjusted for age and sex, than overweight adolescents. Conclusion: Regardless of excess weight, girls showed a cardioprotective profile more associated with a favorable distribution of LDL subfractions than boys, reinforcing the relevance of evaluating qualitative aspects of lipoproteins in addition to the traditional cholesterol content.

Published: May 2024

The importance of mentoring among researchers cannot be overemphasized, and to this effect, several recommender systems have been presented in the literature to find experts for collaborations. However, matching researchers as mentors to their respective mentees has not been looked into. Earlier works suggest that expert-finding recommender systems primarily use metadata from experts' publications for making recommendations. Meanwhile, when matching for mentorship, more emphasis should be placed on the areas and major areas of both the mentors and mentees as intended in our proposed system. It is observed that many authors co-author in some areas in which they are not major, which may not certify them as experts in such areas. This research attempts to investigate the views of researchers about mentoring and also to determine the perceptions of the researchers on the need to develop a recommender system that can match researchers for mentorship. The study was conducted in two universities in south-western Nigeria, namely; Federal University of Technology, Akure, and Federal University, Oye-Ekiti. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaires using both online and paper surveys. The collected data were analyzed using frequency tables and charts. The results show that 99% strongly agreed and 1% agreed that mentorship is essential among researchers in academia. 98% strongly agreed and 2% agreed that there is need for tools that can help users get personalized items in all areas of life. 56% strongly agreed, 42% agreed, and 2% were indifferent that building a recommender system for matching researchers for mentorship is important. As can be seen from the results, the majority of the respondents acknowledged the importance of mentorship among academic researchers and the need to develop a recommender system to match these researchers for mentorship.

Authors: Prince Chimaobi Ejiogu
Published: May 2024

The study was conducted to investigate the impact of garlic formulation on certain haematological parameters and organ weights in both male and female rats. Haematological data, including the count of red blood corpuscles (RBC), the volume of packed cells (PCV), the count of white blood corpuscles (WBC), and the count of platelets, were evaluated using a fully automated haematology analyser. The liver, right kidney, left kidney, heart, and spleen of the rats were weighed to determine their respective organ weights. A total of thirty (30) albino Wister rats, consisting of both males and females, were randomly assigned to five groups, with six animals in each group. Group 1 acted as the positive control and was given 100% standard feed. Group II rats were given a mixture of 10% garlic and 90% feed. Group III animals were provided with a diet consisting of 20% garlic and 80% feed. Group IV received a diet containing 40% garlic and 60% feed. The final group, Group V, was fed a diet consisting of 80% garlic and 20% feed daily for a period of 21 days. The feed formulation was assessed at concentrations of 10, 20, 40, and 80 g/dl, based on the weight of the animal. The findings indicated a noteworthy (P<0.05) reduction in white blood cell count (WBC) and lymphocyte count (LYM). There were no statistically significant changes (P>0.05) observed in the levels of haemoglobin (HGB), haematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) when compared to the control group. Furthermore, there was a noteworthy (P<0.05) reduction in HGB, MCV, and MCH when the rats reached a body weight of 80 g/100dl. The results indicated a statistically significant (P<0.05) reduction in the weight of the left kidney, heart, and spleen, as well as in the liver and right kidney weights at 20, 40, and 80 g/dl body weight. There were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) in the body weight of the liver and right kidney, which were both 10g/dl. Ultimately, the use of garlic formulation in appropriate dosages can impact certain haematological markers and the weights of organs.

In this experiment, different parts of chicken meat were placed in an experiment box in different settings. These experiment boxes were modified into fly traps to prevent interference from other creatures like rats, cats or dogs. Experiment box contains the legs’ part, neck part, muscle part, wing part and liver. The plastic bucket is used for the setting of the different parts of meat pieces in a plate box which has holes and a space to hold the meat pieces. The meat placed on the Plastic box holder counter begins to be decomposed by microorganisms and attracts flies as a rich food source. By hanging this Experiment Box near the outside garbage of the house for a week, flies were able to access them and lay eggs. The eggs on the meat hatch into larvae. This experiment was conducted in different steps. Firstly, fresh meat was exposed to collect the eggs which were reared and used to study the development of maggots. Calculating the age of different life stages of maggots, hourly developmental data is presented i.e.- eggs hatched in 16 hours while all the three instars of larvae took 92 hrs. followed by the pupal stage which was 14 days. Surprisingly, the results were amazing observing the different developmental stages of maggots after hours, as the meat in the experiment box produced maggots in a few days and shows the different time duration for development stages of maggots and adult flies.

Vitamin D inadequacy represents a pervasive global health concern, impacting an estimated 1 billion individuals. Beyond its well-established role in calcium regulation and skeletal health, contemporary investigations reveal that vitamin D serves as a crucial neuro-steroid hormone, exhibiting diverse protective and regulatory functions within the brain. Neurons and glial cells express vitamin D receptors, with particularly elevated levels found in key regions such as the hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalamus, subcortical grey nuclei, and substantia nigra. Insufficient levels of vitamin D have been associated with compromised functionality in various cerebral processes. The deficiency in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations may be reversible, providing a potential avenue for intervention. Given the limited availability of efficacious therapeutic alternatives, beyond disease-modifying strategies, comprehensive exploration of various risk factors is imperative. Addressing these factors in the realm of neurology may contribute to ameliorating brain disorders. Associations between genetic and environmental factors and prolonged vitamin D insufficiency as a predisposing element for diverse neurological conditions necessitate thorough examination. This underscores the importance of scrutinizing the role and justification of vitamin D-based therapeutic interventions. The straightforward and cost-effective nature of such interventions may offer potential benefits in both primary and secondary prevention of a spectrum of neuropsychiatric illnesses.

Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare high-grade soft tissue sarcoma, first described by Enzinger in 1970, classically presenting as a subcutaneous or deep dermal mass in the distal extremities of adolescents and young adults. In 1997, Guillou et al. described the proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma, which is found mostly in the pelvic, perineal regions, and genital tracts of young to middle-aged adults. Epithelioid sarcoma is characterized by a proliferation of epithelioid-like cells with rhabdoid features and the absence of a granuloma-like pattern. We present, in this paper, a case of proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma of abdominal wall, with an aggressive clinical course, including distant metastasis and death one month after diagnosis. In this particular case, the location is infrequent, and it had not previously been described.

Authors: Kozánek Kiss Tünde
Published: May 2024

As part of the MaTeK project, involving researchers from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy, Norway, and Turkey, we carried out research on the use of resources by maths teachers for lesson preparation. The teachers were asked about if there had been any change in their use of resources due to Covid-19 pandemic. We noticed that multiple teachers stated that, due to Covid-19, they had found new resources, so we decided to investigate this topic further. In our research, with the cooperation of teachers in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, we focused not only on maths teaching but also on the teaching of physics. This paper describes the results of this research applied in Slovakia during physics lessons in primary and secondary schools. Our goal was to find out which resources had been used by physics teachers before and after distance learning and which new resources they had found. We were also interested in which resources they still use even now that distance learning is over.

História da Matemática no Ceará: aproximações iniciais
Authors: Melo Carlos Ian Bezerra de
Published: May 2024

O presente ensaio teórico, de abordagem historiográfica, se configura como uma primeira aproximação ao tema da história da Matemática no Ceará, visando reconstituir a história dos contextos, instituições e sujeitos que viabilizaram a organização da comunidade matemática cearense, com foco naqueles que se dedicaram à trajetória acadêmica em torno da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), principal reduto da produção matemática nesse estado. Para tanto, discutiu-se a caracterização histórica dividida em três períodos, que abordam desde o cenário de criação dos primeiros cursos de matemática no Brasil, na década de 1930, passando pela criação do Instituto Cearense de Matemática (ICEM) e sua integração à UFC, na década de 1950, e chegando ao período mais contemporâneo, em que a pós-graduação em Matemática no estado é concebida e ganha fôlego. Ressalta-se a importância de lançar novos olhares à História da Matemática, inclusive a história local, considerando suas especificidades, bem como realizar, em iniciativas investigativas futuras, um mapeamento da contribuição cearense à produção de conhecimento matemático nessas mais de cinco décadas de pesquisa e formação de pesquisadores nessa área.

Published: May 2024

Neste trabalho abordamos a importância da compreensão dos processos matemáticos através da história. Objetivamos apresentar uma proposta de como métodos históricos podem ser associados com as Tecnologias Digitais. Para tanto, utilizamos o software de geometria dinâmica Geogebra, para explorar o método da exaustão desenvolvido por Eudoxo (408 - 355 a.C.) e refinado por Arquimedes (287 – 212 a.C.). Assim, iniciamos com um referencial histórico sobre o método da exaustão, em seguida apresentamos duas construções elaborada no software Geogebra que pode ser acessada por smartphone. Ao relacionar o método da exaustão com o GeoGebra, sugerimos que a combinação de métodos históricos com Tecnologias Digitais pode proporcionar uma abordagem mais prática e visual no ensino de Matemática, uma vez que manipulação direta de objetos através de softwares de geometria dinâmica pode ser um facilitador na compreensão e a análise imediata das construções visualizadas. Por fim, em nossas considerações, ressaltamos a importância de equilibrar o uso das Tecnologias Digitais com uma compreensão conceitual sólida, reconhecendo que o acesso fácil às ferramentas digitais não deve comprometer a compreensão profunda dos fundamentos matemáticos, e enfatizando que a interseção entre o histórico e o moderno pode aprimorar a compreensão da Matemática em resposta às inovações tecnológicas.
