Contraste de perspectivas e projeção no tempo da façanha de Magalhães
Authors: Souza-Fuertes Lizbeth
Published: December 2022

A aventura da circumnavegação da Terra tem sido objeto de extensa pesquisa. Vários estudos oferecem perspectivas diferentes, entre as quais se destacam os seguintes: Magalhães, de Laurence Bergreen, que nos oferece um olhar extenso e documentado sobre a expedição; A primeira volta ao mundo, de José Luís Comellas García-Llera, que apresenta a particularidade de ser baseada em um excelente conhecimento do mundo marítimo pelo seu autor; A primeira volta ao mundo, 1519-1522, de Agustín Rodríguez González, em que a façanha é retratada tanto do ponto de vista náutico-científico quanto humano; e Fernão de Magalhães, de Ricardo Majo Framis, um estudo profundo da vida e das proezas de Fernão de Magalhães, que repercute na análise psicológica dos protagonistas, na situação na Espanha e em Portugal daquele momento, e que se baseia em duas fontes fundamentais — a visão de Antonio Pigafetta e a de Francisco López de Gómara. Finalmente, o trabalho do ilustre biógrafo austríaco Stefan Zweig, Magalhães, é admirável por sua capacidade de contextualização, riqueza de nuances e aprofundamento psicológico. O objetivo deste estudo é contrastar as perspectivas oferecidas pelos autores representantes dos valores da Renascença: Antonio Pigafetta e três dos cronistas mais destacados da época.
herencia náutica ibérica y su impacto en los viajes de exploración
Authors: Fuertes-Manjón Roberto
Published: December 2022

Los importantes avances en las ciencias náuticas al comienzo del siglo XVI tenían una base que se había establecido en la Edad Media, y caracterizado por la cooperación entre los astrónomos, cartógrafos y marinos de Portugal y España. Aunque fueran principalmente debidos a los portugueses, tenían antecedentes comunes en la Península Ibérica. Soeiro de Brito nos recuerda las aportaciones de los portugueses con la creación de las guías náuticas de Munich y Évora, el desarrollo de los métodos de los cálculos de latitud a través de observaciones astronómicas, así como la preparación de las efemérides y las tablas astronómicas, lo que pondría a Portugal a la vanguardia del desarrollo náutico en Europa, al establecer las bases de la navegación moderna. También es destacable señalar la relevancia de dos pensadores españoles Alfonso X el Sabio and Raimundo Lulio. Además, como ejemplo de la cooperación ibérica destaca la obra de Zacuto, Las tablas de su “Almanaque Perpetuo” fueron las bases de todas las tablas portuguesas publicadas con posterioridad. Este estudio investigará los antecedentes comunes ibéricos en el desarrollo de las ciencias náuticas que propiciaron los viajes de exploración modernos.

Blockade of orexin receptor type-1 by SB-334867 and activation of orexin receptor type-2 attenuate morphine tolerance in rats
Authors: Ozdemir Ercan , Baser Tayfun , Taskiran Ahmet Sevki
Published: December 2022

Purpose

The interaction of orexinergic neurons with the opioidergic system and their effects on morphine analgesia and tolerance have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of the orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptor (OX1R and OX2R) agonist and antagonist on morphine analgesia and tolerance in rats.

Material and methods

A total of 90 Wistar albino male rats weighing 180–220 g were used in the experiments. To induce morphine tolerance, rats were injected with a single dose of morphine (50 mg kg−1, s.c.) for 3 days. Morphine tolerance was assessed on day 4 in randomly selected rats by analgesia tests. In order to evaluate morphine tolerance situation, orexin-A, SB-334867, orexin-B and TCS OX2 29 were administered together with morphine for 3 days. The analgesic effects of orexin-A (10 μg kg−1), OXR1 antagonist SB-334867 (10 mg kg−1), OXR2 agonist orexin-B (15 μg kg−1), OXR2 antagonist TCS OX2 29 (0.5 mg kg−1) and morphine (5 mg kg−1) were measured at 15 or 30-min intervals by tail-flick and hot-plate antinociceptive tests.

Results

The results suggested that the combination of orexin-1 receptor antagonist SB-334867 and orexin-B with morphine significantly increased the analgesic effect compared to morphine-tolerant rats. In addition, administration of orexin-A and -B alone showed significant analgesic effects compared to the saline group. However, co-administration of orexin-A and -B with morphine did not increase the analgesic efficacy of morphine.

Conclusions

The results of this study demonstrated that co-administration of SB-334867 and orexin-B with morphine attenuated morphine tolerance. Further studies are needed to elucidate the details of the interaction between orexin receptors and the opioidergic system.
Recent advances and perspective on boron nitride nanotubes: From synthesis to applications
Authors: Jakubinek Michael B. , Kim Keun Su , Kim Myung Jong , Martí Angel A. , Pasquali Matteo
Published: December 2022

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are emerging nanomaterials with analogous structures and similarly impressive mechanical properties to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), but unique chemistry and complimentary multifunctional properties, including higher thermal stability, electrical insulation, optical transparency, neutron absorption capability, and piezoelectricity. Over the past decade, advances in synthesis have made BNNTs more broadly accessible to the nanomaterials and other research communities, removing a major barrier to their utilization and research. Therefore, the field is poised to grow rapidly and see the emergence of BNNT applications ranging from electronics to aerospace materials. A key challenge, that is being gradually overcome, is the development of manufacturing processes to make “neat” BNNT materials. This overview highlights the history and current status of the field, providing both an introduction to this Focus Issue—BNNTs: Synthesis to Applications—as well as a perspective on advances, challenges, and opportunities for this emerging material.

Coping with a Qur’anic Truth Claim
Authors: Ellethy Yaser
Published: December 2022

Since the latter half of the twentieth century, Western philosophers of religion and scholars of religion have been fervently preoccupied with the question of religious truth claims and how to evaluate a Christian theological view of other religious traditions. This resulted in the standardization of inclusivism, exclusivism, and pluralism as distinct universal approaches to the truth claim predicament. Employing Qur’anic exegesis, hermeneutics, and the semantics of core Islamic concepts, this article offers a critique of this standardized typology as less relevant to the Muslim perspective of religious diversity. Based on an Islamic view of the relativity of human knowledge and the centrality of a revelatory epistemic premise, this typology is hardly akin to a Muslim traditional perspective. The Qur’an defines the boundaries between the Islamic truth claim, salvific exclusion, and the ethical codes for Muslims to deal with a worldly context that is ab initio diverse. This article argues that an Islamic pluralistic view, as delineated on the basis of the Qur’an, supersedes the dilemma of religious truth claims and seeks realistic ethical regulations to deal with religious otherness.
Multiple Religious Belonging and Religious Communities
Authors: Hendriks Jonatan , Van der Braak André
Published: December 2022

This contribution investigates the concept “community” as a previously underexplored dimension of multiple religious belonging (MRB). A review of the MRB approach to multireligiosity reveals there has been paid relatively little attention to community influence and fluid, non-dualistic styles of religious belonging. We argue that these styles of multiple belonging cannot be accounted for by conventional understandings of MRB that assume a “World Religions Paradigm.” After reviewing two approaches to this problem, the article explores a rhizomatic approach to MRB and religious communities. To illustrate this approach, a brief review of several Dutch multireligious communities is presented.
Toward a “Religious Cosmopolitanism” in the Age of Globalization
Authors: Yoo Yun Kwon
Published: December 2022

This article reflects critically on cosmopolitanism in our contemporary context of globalization. It examines whether cosmopolitanism can serve as an adequate anthropological perspective that responds sufficiently to the challenges of globalization, particularly in its economic, political, and cultural dimensions. Cosmopolitan anthropology is relevant and necessary in the age of globalization in that the critical challenge posed by today’s globalizing world is not only how to recognize differences per se but also, and more importantly, how to live together with all these differences. This requires our cosmopolitan awareness that we all are fellow human beings. This paper argues, however, that cosmopolitanism needs to be sublated into a religious cosmopolitanism by incorporating a theological anthropology that provides a more full-blown conception of being human as a concrete totality of all its constitutive relations whose ultimate source is God.
Decolonising African Theology
Authors: Nnamunga Gerard Majella
Published: December 2022

The main purpose of this paper is to show that previous methods of decolonising African theology have failed because they have by and large employed Western models (e.g. the scholastic model) as criteria. I propose that the first step towards decolonising African theology must begin with Africans themselves. First, Africans are called to soul search with the purpose of identifying the reasons why they have been so prone to abuse. Why do they lack self-esteem? It is easy to say that they lack self-esteem because they have been abused by outsiders, and especially Westerners. It is not enough to say that African cultures have been prone to abuse because of their malleability, flexibility, and receptivity which made them vulnerable to outside influence. Second, one of the major weaknesses of the African approach is to try to measure up to European standards using European scales, thus feeding off of the very system which it is trying to fight. The value of African theology is not that it has to be similar to Western theology, but rather that it has a value in itself.
Who Speaks for Peace?
Authors: Hill Fletcher Jeannine
Published: December 2022

Many religious communities continue to prioritize male leadership, to the exclusion of women in the most public interfaith roles, including interreligious dialogues and peacemaking. By looking at diverse models of interfaith work, this article highlights the alternative spaces in which women have been agents of peacemaking and peacebuilding. If “interreligious peacemaking” is conceptualized as complex actors embedded in localized material, social and political realities struggling across religious lines in the promotion of human well-being, then we might see more clearly women already at work.

Authors:   Volgograd State University, Shor Inna
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to study the modern practice of public-private partnership (hereinafter – PPP) in the field of information technology. The paper identifies and systematizes the advantages and risks of using PPP in the field of information technology. Barriers in the development of the field of information technology based on PPP are identified (imperfection of legislation, lack of elaboration of issues related to the PPP projects’ payback in the field of information technology, lack of boxed solutions for PPP projects that fully take into account the specifics of this area and more). Measures aimed at their elimination are presented (comprehensive study of legal issues related to the specifics of establishing the exclusivity of information technology facilities created within the framework of PPP projects and the possibility of concessionaires implementing similar projects on the territory of different subjects of the Russian Federation; assistance in ensuring the return on investment of investors in PPP projects; development and implementation of boxed solutions for PPP projects, taking into account the specifics of the field of information technology and more). The work uses analysis, synthesis, observation and other methods. The practical applicability of the materials of the article lies in the possibility of their use in decision-making to ensure the progressive development of the information technology sector of Russia on the basis of PPP.
Liberalization of Currency Regulation: International Experience
Authors:   Financial Research Institute of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, Ershov Dmitry
Published: December 2022

An analysis of the development and current state of the main instruments of liberalization of currency regulation and currency control has been carried out. The relevance of the topic is explained by the tendency of many countries to remove restrictions on foreign exchange transactions and the movement of capital funds in order to build an economy that is attractive to foreign investors and resistant to external influences. The development of the principles of capital movement liberalization at the international level, starting with the adoption of the OECD Code in 1961, is briefly considered. The experience of liberalization of monetary and financial regulation at the level of individual countries and integration associations is analyzed and generalized on the example of the USA, the European Union and the BRICS countries. The shortcomings of the current legislation of the Russian Federation in this area are identified and the conclusion is made about the need for further improvement of legislation in order to create a financial system that is resistant to external shocks and international sanctions pressure. The main reason for this is that the measures taken by Russia in 2022 to respond to sanctions do not include reform of federal legislation, but are based on the introduction of temporary restrictions on the foreign exchange market and are somewhat contradictory. In the context of strengthening external restrictions, and the introduction of retaliatory counter-sanction measures, it is necessary to develop new strategic planning documents in the field of monetary and financial regulation in order to ensure the stable functioning of the monetary and financial system.
Antony Flew’un Düşünsel Dönüşümü ve İslam Algısı
Authors: YILDIZ İbrahim
Published: December 2022

Ömrünün, neredeyse üçte ikisini her şeye gücü yeten ve her şeyi bilen bir Tanrı’nın varlığına karşı argümanlar geliştirmekte geçiren, ancak son zamanlarında bir Tanrı’nın varlığını kabul eden Antony Flew, değişiminin, her zaman temel aldığını iddia ettiği “kanıtın götürdüğü yere git” ilkesinin bir gereği olduğunu ileri sürer. Öncesinde kanıtın Tanrı’nın varlığına karşı durmayı gerektirdiğini ancak şu an kendisini bir Tanrı’nın var olduğu düşüncesini kabul etmeye yönlendirdiğini ifade eder. Bu çalışma, Flew’un “kanıtın götürdüğü yere gitmelisin” ilkesini İslam söz konusu olduğunda tatbik edip etmediğini ele alacaktır. Bunu yaparken öncelikle Flew'un görüş değiştirmesi sonrasında benimsediği Tanrı anlayışı kısaca anlatılacaktır. Daha sonra Hıristiyanlık hakkındaki düşüncelerine değinilecektir. Ardından İslam'a karşı ileri sürdüğü argümanlar değerlendirilecektir. Son olarak, İslam mevzubahis olduğunda Flew’un “kanıtın götürdüğü yere git” ilkesine uyup uymadığı tartışılacaktır. Sonuç olarak, Flew'un en azından reddettiği Hristiyanlığa göstermiş olduğu müsamahayı “kanıtın götürdüğü yere gitmelisin” ilkesi gereği İslam’a da göstermesi gerektiği ancak İslam’a dair eskiden sahip olduğu sert ve taraflı iddialarını yeniden gözden geçirmediği görülmüştür.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: to map assessment tools for elder abuse and determine the psychometric properties of each one. Method: scoping review developed according to recommendations of the JBI Institute Reviewer’s Manual in databases and gray literature. Results: seventeen tools were identified for measuring situations of elder abuse. They were categorized into 1) Tools for assessment of risk for abuse, and 2) Tools for identification of abuse. According to risk for abuse, Vulnerability to Abuse Screening Scale was the most prevalent in the literature, with factorial analysis acceptable through four domains, and good internal reliability (0,74). Therefore, Assessment Tool for Domestic Elder Abuse comprises the assessment of six types of elder abuse; however, the study shows psychometric limitation since the internal structure was not evaluated by validity evidences. Conclusion: seventeen tools to determine the occurrence or risk for elder abuse were identified with different psychometric properties. We recommend the use of more than one of the tools identified for an appropriate measurement of elder abuse situations given the complexity of the phenomenon and the lack of a single instrument that contemplates all its consequences and forms of expression.
Diagnostic Adjuncts in Oral Cancer Evaluation
Authors: Goel Daksh , Shah Siddharth , Mair Manish
Published: December 2022

Oral cancer is a major health concern in developing countries like India which contributes one-third of the global oral cancer burden. Unlike other non-head and neck malignancies, oral cancer has a more curative treatment course. If detected early, oral cancer has the best treatment outcomes. However, most oral cancer has a dismal five-year survival rate as the majority are diagnosed in late/advanced loco-regional stages. Current methods of assessment for oral cancer include, thorough clinical examination under white light and biopsy. Over the years, a number of diagnostic tools have been created as adjuncts to white light evaluation to help with the early diagnosis of oral cancer. This article's goal is to discuss the present diagnostic techniques for oral cancer as well as potential future uses of cutting-edge, innovative technology for the detection of the disease. This may expand our diagnostic choices and enhance our capacity to accurately identify and manage lesions associated with oral cancer.

Published: December 2022

Abordar o tema da integridade acadêmica na educação superior pode ser desafiador, dependendo da área de conhecimento. A falta de comunicação direta entre universidade e estudantes, e vice-versa, assim como o pouco material didático adequado e pensado para o público da modalidade a distância, são fatores que podem impactar as produções dos estudantes, provocando o uso inadequado de textos acadêmicos na formulação de produções próprias. Além disso, as equipes das universidades podem não conseguir atender às demandas sobre instruções para a produção acadêmica, requeridas pelos estudantes. Neste sentido, uma equipe formada por pedagogos, designers instrucionais e especialistas em arte e tecnologia de uma universidade pública virtual desenvolveram um Recurso Educacional Aberto (REA) para orientar os estudantes universitários na elaboração de suas produções acadêmicas. Por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória de cunho qualitativo, esse recurso foi avaliado por um grupo de docentes de diferentes áreas do conhecimento e diversas instituições de educação superior. Como resultados, os docentes apontam certos problemas sobre a integridade acadêmica em suas aulas, especialmente nos cursos da área de humanas, e sugerem formas diversas de explorar este material didático. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é, a partir da experiência desenvolvida na elaboração de um material didático sobre integridade acadêmica,  descrever, analisar e propor ações para o trabalho com estudantes da educação superior em diferentes contextos, especialmente na educação a distância.

Published: December 2022

More and more data are showing a link between hemoglobin genotypes and Plasmodium falciparum malaria. In order to establish the prevalence of hemoglobin genotype variants and their association with P. falciparum malaria in children receiving postpartum care at Faith Alive Foundation Jos, Plateau State, we study the distribution of these variants. From each sample, thick and thin blood films were created, and hemoglobin genotypes were determined using electrophoresis. Out of 172 samples examined, 131 (76.16%) were infected with P. falciparum malaria while 41 (23.84%) were not infected. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the distribution of P. falciparum malaria in relation to hemoglobin genotypes. P. falciparum malaria was highest in AA with 92 (70%) and SS was the least with 12 (9%). There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in th+++e prevalence of P. falciparum malaria in relation to age. P. falciparum malaria infection was highest in the age group ≥ 12 months than age group 0 - 11 months. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the prevalence of P. falciparum malaria in relation to sex. The result depicted that P. falciparum malaria infects more males than females. There was also no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the prevalence of P. falciparum malaria in relation to months. The month of September had the highest prevalence of P. falciparum malaria followed by October and August respectively. It is, therefore, recommended that public health education campaigns for mothers and healthcare givers be intensified to create awareness that will lead to the reduction of human-vector contact, especially in children.

Heavy metal contamination is a primary concern worldwide and it is discharged from the industrial wastewater to a large amount of heavy metal receiving environments. In recent years, the effective use of agricultural by-products is definitely a major challenge in waste management. The fact that agricultural residues are more easily obtained and cheaper than commercial adsorbents makes it attractive. In this study, removal of zinc from industrial wastewater using natural and thermally modified (biochar) walnut shells as biosorbent was investigated. It was tried to remove zinc in aqueous solutions with different concentrations by using walnut shells at different rates. The effects of initial concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage. In addition, adsorption isotherms and kinetics were also studied. With the modified form of the walnut shell, up to 98% zinc removal efficiency was obtained. Also, adsorption was observed to be consistent with pseudo-second kinetics and Freundlich isotherm. The results showed that the modified walnut shell in zinc removal was a potential adsorbent. The adsorption of zinc, onto walnut shells was found to fit Freundlich isotherm. The results obtained in the tests with wastewater showed the potential use of walnut shells for the removal of zinc.

The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) has proven to be an effective system for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. The main operating mechanism of moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR) is the growth of attached biomass in biofilm carriers in the bioreactor with mixing provided by diffusers in aerobic bioreactors or mechanical stirrers in anoxic/anaerobic bioreactors. Biofilm formation is a complex process affected by microbial composition and properties. In this study, biofilm formation performance on Kaldnes K1 was investigated in two moving bed biofilm reactors (AnMBBR1 and AnMBBR2) using textile wastewater. Both MBBRs with a 40% fill rate were operated with a 6-hour hydraulic retention time (HRT). AnMBBR1 was operated under anaerobic conditions while AnMBBR2 was operated at different aeration rates (0.001-0.004 m3 air/m3reactor). The highest biomass concentration was observed in AnMBBR2 with a reactor aeration ratio of 0.004 m3air/m3reactor, corresponding to 4062 mg/L. The results showed that limited aeration improved biofilm formation on biofilm carriers rather than anaerobic conditions.

Insufficient dietary intake in school-age children can result in a weakened immune system, leading to susceptibility to illness. Children will easily be exposed to infectious diseases such as angular cheilitis. Jember has a large population of farmers, categorized as a low-paid occupation. The type of food consumed will affect each person's nutritional status. This study aims to identify the relationship between nutritional status and food intake with the prevalence of angular cheilitis in children grades I–III SDN 7 Nogosari in the agro-industrial setting of Jember. Analytical observation with a cross-sectional design was employed with 58 students as samples, whose nutritional health was assessed using the BMI/U index, visual examination angular cheilitis, and 24-hour recall method of food intake. The SPSS test was undertaken to investigate how variations in macronutrient and micronutrient consumption affect angular cheilitis in each nutritional status. Micronutrient intake that affected angular cheilitis had exceeded the RDA. Furthermore, the SPSS test showed no difference in the consumption of macronutrients and micronutrients in each nutritional status, supporting the occurrence of angular cheilitis at a rate of 0%. In the agro-industrial setting of Kebun Renteng, Jember Regency, students at SD Negeri 7 Nogosari grades I - III had a good nutritional profile with zero percent of angular cheilitis prevalence. It was impossible to determine the association between dietary status and the prevalence of angular cheilitis.

The study compares and analyses the performance of the one-cycle control (OCC), hybrid one-cycle-proportional integral control (OCC-PI), and the conventional PI control method applied to the non-inverting buck-boost converter. The hybrid OCC-PI control method combines the OCC and PI control techniques to provide a hybrid non-linear closed-loop control technique for regulating the buck-boost converter. The MATLAB/Simulink equivalent system model was simulated with design parameter variations using a wide input voltage range of 9 – 36 V, a nominal output voltage of 28 V, and a fixed switching frequency of 250 kHz to validate the control response speed, reliability, and robustness of the proposed control technique. The simulation results due to input voltage, output voltage, and load variations were carried out whiles recording the settling time, overshoots, efficiency, output voltage, and inductor current ripples due to each applied control technique. The simulation results indicated that the Hybrid OCC-PI control provides better response speed and a lower output voltage overshoot relative to the PI. It also provides better reference voltage tracking compared to the OCC control method.

A new millennium has begun, and a new paradigm in exploitation of natural resources to generate products has emerged. In this sense, a model in line with local environmental reality and based on the sustainable development goals (SDG) proposed by the UN is required. The document addresses the suitability of natural capitals in the Caatinga phytogeographic domain (CPD) for generating products, encompassing primary (solar energy and rainfall) and secondary (soil and vegetation) natural resources. These resources have well-defined scarcity (water, soil, and vegetation) and abundance (solar radiation) characteristics. Water is scarce due to uncertain rainfall and frequent droughts. Due to their fragility, soils, when shallow and/or with a low organic matter content, are susceptible to erosion and salinization. In turn, vegetation is scarce due to low potential for biomass production (50% of the area has a biomass production below 2 Mg ha-1. As for solar energy, there is no uncertainty regarding its occurrence in the CPD. Moreover, the region has the highest solar radiation intensities in Brazil, with daily averages ranging from 4.8 to 6.0 Kwh m-2 within a year. Therefore, a new model must be adopted, in which socioeconomic development is based on the potential of local natural resources. In short, abundant resources should be prioritized over scarce ones. Furthermore, exploitation must be democratized and not only in the hands of few privileged individuals

In addition to creating new possibilities for social and economic development, the information and communication technology (ICT) revolution has also created issues and hurdles. It has an impact on all facets of society and can shape and improve a wide range of developmental applications in the social, industrial, and agricultural sectors. ICT offers special chances for human development. ICT has been expanding inequities between and between countries, regions, gender, rich-poor, elite disregarded, and also within the many categories of women in various fields of endeavour. At the same time, ICT has been enlarging these gaps. Building up women's capacities is important so that they can participate in productive endeavours, institutional development, family and societal change, decision-making, political representation, trade and commerce, entrepreneurial growth, and social leadership. In order for women to own, manage, and control businesses in all sectors of the economy, including IT- based ones, there is a need to expand their prospects.
