Taurine is sulfur containing semi-essential amino acid that has important roles in many biological processes, but its effect on glucose homeostasis, weight, growth and bone mineralization weren’t well defined. Objectives: the evaluation of oral Taurine effects has used for 3 months on bone mineralization biomarker, glycemic control and body weight in type ll diabetic patients. Methods: the interventional double-blind placebo-controlled study in which 80 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age range 45-55) assigned in either control (n=40), or study group the (n=40) group. The last group has received a 1000mg capsule of Taurine once a day for three months. Parameters measured were serum calcium, 25(OH) vitamin D and osteocalcin, NTX-1 HbA1C% with fasting blood glucose before and after 3 months. Results: taurine led to significant (p<0.05) rise in osteocalcin, significant lowering in body weight, BMI and there were no significant changes in serum calcium, NTX-1, Vitamin D, HbA1C and fasting blood glucose, all as compared with the control value. Conclusions: the 3 months of oral Taurine are used in type II diabetic patients may modulate bone mineralization represented by elevation of osteocalcin and reduction of body weight, but has no significant effect on glycemic control and did not reduce HbA1C%.

Published: September 2019

Este artigo pretende fazer uma reflexão sobre os desafios interculturais e educacionais para um turismo sustentável, que favoreçam a integração de práticas educativas inclusivas. O intercultural implica relação, diálogo e comunicação entre as diferentes culturas, através dos indivíduos e grupos, na qual se encontram e interagem indivíduos, grupos e instituições originários de universos diferentes. Implica uma troca entre as diversas áreas do conhecimento, cujos olhares interdisciplinares sejam capazes de levar as organizações a desenvolverem propostas de educação voltadas para a inclusão, buscando interagir conceitos de interculturalidade, educação intercultural e turismo sustentável. Porém há uma lacuna de produções que visam explicitar a relação entre educação e turismo sustentável, elemento motivador deste estudo, realizando pesquisa bibliográfica nas bibliotecas da Fundação Visconde de Cairu e da Universidade do Porto. É importante o diálogo dessas relações, numa perspectiva de interdisciplinaridade e de sustentabilidade, fazendo com que a atividade turística seja geradora de efeitos positivos sobre as populações e economias locais, a proteção do ambiente, a preservação da cultura e tradição e a utilização racional de recursos naturais. Estas reflexões teóricas sinalizam para a necessidade de comunicação entre as diferentes culturas, em especial na educação e no turismo, com ênfase na interculturalidade, à luz da revisão da literatura sobre o assunto, na perspectiva de uma sociedade mais igualitária e sustentável.
Eurocentrismo e Racismo:
Authors: Carvalho Silvia Cristina De Sousa
Published: September 2019

O presente artigo versa sobre como as relações raciais na sociedade capitalista foram forjadas sob um discurso fetichizado de progresso e civilizatório por meio da expansão colonial do final do século XV, e, posteriormente por meio dos princípios Iluministas das revoluções burguesas do século XVIII do qual havia como fim último a acumulação de riquezas. Dessa maneira, apresentamos brevemente, como as classes sociais, na sociedade das mercadorias, se conformaram sob uma hierarquia racial e uma racionalidade eurocêntrica. Nos apropriamos das análises das categorias marxianas, como mercadoria e fetiche, para melhor compreender esse processo, tendo em vista que o interesse de Marx em desvendar a sociedade burguesa, bem como as relações inerentes à mesma. Consideramos necessário esse resgate histórico e conceitual, pois, o racismo exacerbado no período colonial ainda se faz presente na contemporaneidade, através do que foi conceituado por intelectuais do pensamento social crítico latino-americano como uma colonialidade do poder.
Da Escravidão ao Trabalho Livre:
Authors: Eurico Marcia Campos
Published: September 2019

O artigo busca problematizar a questão étnico-racial, seus contornos específicos no âmbito das relações sociais no Brasil, e o processo de transição do trabalho escravo para o trabalho livre, bem como a manutenção das bases de desumanização da população negra. É o racismo, ao invés da ausência dele, que molda as relações sociais e o processo de trabalho, o que exige que a profissão se aproprie de referenciais teóricos capazes de desvelar a base da desigualdade social, na perspectiva histórica. A análise sobre a significativa presença da população negra no Brasil, sua inserção, em geral, precária no mundo do trabalho e as diversas violações de direito a que está exposta cotidianamente exigem uma luta coletiva, capaz de unir os diversos sujeitos sociais, as diversas áreas do conhecimento e eixos de pesquisa na transformação da realidade social e o Serviço Social não pode fugir desta batalha.

Protecting the Right to Privacy in China
Authors: Jingchun Cao
Published: September 2019

This article suggests the Chinese government should establish systematic legal protection for personal privacy in China. First, a brief introduction to the history of the concept of privacy in China is given. Based on the definition of privacy in the Western world, the modern concept of privacy has been absorbed by Chinese scholars and defined according to Chinese norms. During this process, the subjects and objects of the right to privacy have been chosen and the distinctions between the right to privacy, the right of reputation and the right to know have been made clear. This article considers that it is most important to recognise the right to privacy as an independent right both in the Constitution and Civil Code. Depending on the impact of the breach of privacy, liability for civil or criminal punishment should attach.  Besides these measures, a specific data protection law is also essential.
Estudio de factibilidad para la determinación de nitrógeno y proteína mediante el uso del calorímetro diferencial adiabático
Authors: Páez Gabriela , Bonilla Pablo
Published: September 2019

La bomba calorimétrica permite medir el contenido calórico de alimentos, ésta posee una camisa de agua que absorbe el calor liberado por la combustión del alimento. El calor que absorbe el agua, no proviene únicamente de la combustión del alimento, sino que intervienen otros factores como el calor de formación del HNO3. Este ácido se forma porque el nitrógeno presente en el alimento y aire es oxidado N2O5, el mismo que reacciona con el agua y forma HNO3. El objetivo de esta investigación fue aprovechar la formación HNO3 para cuantificar la cantidad de nitrógeno presente en el alimento y determinar sus proteínas. La factibilidad de determinar nitrógeno usando el calorímetro está sujeta a varios factores que impiden la cuantificación exacta de nitrógeno.Estos factores son limitaciones propias del aparato y complejidad de la muestra analizada. A pesar de estos inconvenientes, se obtuvo buenos resultados con muestras de suplementos nutricionales y harina de maíz que presentaron valores de nitrógeno muy similares a los obtenidos por el método oficial Kjeldah. Para alcanzar ésta similitud, se cambió algunos parámetros como mezclar la muestra con ácido benzoico y cuantificar el HNO3 formado con una base 0.02N.

Published: September 2019

Se propone aprovechar los subproductos de las industrias de los crustáceos, tomando como ejemplo a la industria camaronera, ya que contienen cantidades interesantes del biopolímero quitina, que podría usarse para producir envases desechables para alimentos, similares a los de poliestireno expandido, PE, utilizando una metodología amigable con el ambiente y empleando una mezcla de aditivos de grado alimentario: una mezcla de carboximetilcelulosa, a tres diferentes concentraciones (10, 20, 30%) y almidón de tapioca (Manihot esculenta), con una concentración, 40%. Se midió una propiedad mecánica de tracción (compresión) usando PE como blanco para las bioesponjas. Se obtuvieron resultados mejores para las probetas experimentales de quitina-quitosana (10% de carboximetilcelulosa y 40% almidón de tapioca) en comparación con el control de poliestireno expandido: Módulos de Young de 0.5087±0.061 y 0.535±0.065 MPa versus 7.832 y 1.858 para el PE de densidad de 0.035 g/cm3 y 4.555 y 4.546 MPa para el de 0.018 g/cm3 de densidad, respectivamente. Esto indica que son menos deformables que el poliestireno espumado. Los resultados son alentadores y deben ser corroborados con la producción de bandejas reales.

En México se siembran más de 100 variedades de chile (Capsicum annuum L.), es un cultivo altamente redituable y representa una actividad económica de importancia nacional. Actualmente, enfrenta graves problemas fitosanitarios por la presencia de enfermedades como la marchitez del chile, causada por un complejo de patógenos de suelo. Para el control de estas enfermedades, se utilizan fungicidas tóxicos y residuales, que contaminan el ambiente e inducen resistencia genética en los fitopatógenos. Por ello, es necesario buscar alternativas de control para solucionar este problema, por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto antagónico de Trichoderma spp., contra los agentes causales de marchitez en confrontaciones in vitro mediante cultivos duales. El estudio se llevó acabo en 2016, en la Universidad Intercultural de Estado de Puebla, Huehuetla, Puebla, México. Se evaluaron tres aislamientos de Trichoderma provenientes de la rizósferas de árboles de aguacate, T. viride, T. harzianum y T. asperellum y tres aislamientos de los fitopatógenos P. capsici, F. oxysporum y R. solani obtenidos de las raíces de plantas de chile con síntomas de la marchitez. Los aislamientos se caracterizaron morfológicamente para su identificación. Los tres hongos antagonistas presentaron alto porcentaje de inhibición, T. asperellum mostró el 88.25%, T. viride 87.22% y T. harzianum con 87.8%. En las condiciones del estudio, T. asperellum, T. viride y T. harzianum, resultaron microorganismos antagónicos eficientes contra los fitopatógenos. Se sugiere realizar evaluaciones de biocontrol con estos aislamientos en invernadero y a campo abierto.

Published: September 2019

Las especies de Dasylirion se encuentran dentro de las más importantes del desierto chihuahuense en términos ecológicos y económicos. Su uso principal es la elaboración de una bebida alcohólica tradicional llamada sotol. El género comprende 22 especies, no todas aptas para este fin y su identificación es difícil. Herramientas moleculares como el código de barras de la vida facilitan su identificación y generan información genética. Hay iniciadores universales para el gen matK, cuya secuencia es apropiada para código de barras de la vida, que no funcionan para algunas especies de este género. La diferencia de un solo nucleótido puede generar problemas en la amplificación. El objetivo de este trabajo fue diseñar y probar nuevas secuencias iniciadoras del gen matK, que permitan amplificación en las plantas del género Dasylirion. Para el diseño se utilizaron los programas Primer3 Plus, FastPCR y la secuencia completa del gen matK de D. wheeleri. Los nuevos oligonucleótidos fueron probados con las especies D. texanum, D. leiophyllum, D. occidentalis y D. palaciosii, con amplificación limpia del gen matK (fragmento aproximado 1 000 pb) en cada una de ellas. Estos resultados contrastaron con los obtenidos a partir de los iniciadores universales matK 390F y matK 1 326R, que generaron bandas secundarias o fallaron en la amplificación. Ya que los nuevos iniciadores amplificaron exitosamente el gen matK en las especies estudiadas de Dasylirion, se consideran de valor para como herramientas para la obtención de código de barras de la vida en sotol. Investigación realizada durante los años 2016 a 2018.

Short and Spaced Twisted Tapes to Mitigate Fouling in Tubular Membranes
Authors: Wessling Matthias
Published: September 2019

Static mixers are an efficient means to mitigate membrane fouling as they deflect the fluid, thus increasing the shear rate at the membrane surface and enhancing back-transport of rejected matter. However, inserting static mixers in the flow channel of a membrane imposes an additional pressure drop. To decrease this detrimental effect of static mixers, we shorten twisted tape mixers and investigate how this shortening translates into a reduction of fouling mitigation. We follow two approaches known from heat transfer enhancement: i) shorten the total length of the twisted tape and ii) use regularly spaced short twisted tape elements which are kept at their position by smooth rods placed in between the twisted elements. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is applied to analyze the flow pattern, the shear rate at the membrane and the resulting pressure drop. The results allow for the selection of modified twisted tape mixers with lower pressure loss, but sufficient flow properties for fouling mitigation. The most promising mixer designs were selected according to the CFD study, 3D-printed, and their fouling mitigation effect experimentally investigated using silica suspensions. Additionally, the effect of foulant concentration in this system is analyzed. For low silica concentrations (0.03 g/L) the short and spaced twisted tapes mitigate fouling as efficiently as the full-length twisted tape. At high silica concentrations and fluxes, the full-length mixer mitigates fouling more strongly than the short and spaced twisted tapes. However, the modified twisted tapes prove to be more energy-efficient up to a certain fouling exposure.

Ginger field with mulching of Khar and ginger field with mulching of forest litter was identified as two strata to collect soil sample. Thirty soil samples collected from each mulching practices. Simple random sampling procedure was followed to collect soil sample within the strata. Soil fertility parameters such as soil pH, Soil organic carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium were analyzed for different mulching system. Mulching material significantly effect on Soil pH, Soil organic carbon and soil nitrogen. Soil acidity was found lower with forest litter mulch (5.53) but it was found higher for Khar mulch (5.78). Soil organic carbon was found higher in ginger field with Khar mulch (2.31%) and found lower with forest litter mulch (1.97%). Soil nitrogen level was found higher in ginger field with Khar mulch (0.20%) and found lower with forest litter mulch (0.17%). Soil available phosphorus and Potassium were not found significantly different in both type of mulching system. The result obtained from the study indicates that ginger field with Khar mulch result soil with higher soil organic carbon and Nitrogen. Mulching decision can also be made after testing the soil of respective ginger growing field. Appropriate liming could be done so that it could reduce the soil acidity problems.

Jeitinho as a Coping Strategy Used by Brazilian International Students for Acculturative Stress
Authors: Alves Nishioka Silvia , Akol Defne
Published: September 2019

This mixed-method study examined whether Brazilian students in the US use an indigenous problem-solving practice, jeitinho, as a coping strategy for acculturative stress. Forty-two participants answered an online survey, which was a culmination of demographic information, the Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students, BriefCOPE, jeitinho questionnaire, and three open-ended questions about how Americans may perceive jeitinho. Results showed that a negative dimension of jeitinho was associated with nonadaptive coping strategies, but it was not a significant predictor of acculturative stress. Qualitative themes highlighted the multidimensionality of jeitinho, which could help in students’ adjustment (positive) or reinforce stereotypes and prejudices (negative) against Brazilians. Findings elucidate the complexity of jeitinho Brazilian students can be mindful about and when to use it to avoid stereotyping.

Published: September 2019

Son yıllarda araştırmalara konu olan sosyotelizm; bireyin başka bireylerle iletişimi sırasında dikkatini akıllı telefona vermesi, akıllı telefonla ilgilenmesi ve algısını kişilerarası iletişimden kaçırması olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bir sosyotelist ile etkileşimde bulanan başka bir bireyin, sosyotelistin kendisi ile ilgilenmeyip telefonu ile ilgilenmesi, sosyal etkileşim gerçekleşmesi gereken herhangi bir ortamda etkili vakit geçiremeyip durumdan olumsuz etkilenmesine neden olması da sosyotelizme maruz kalma olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Genel Sosyotelist Olma (GSO) ve Genel Sosyotelizme Maruz Kalma (GSMK) ölçeklerinin Türkçeleştirilmesi çalışması yürütülmüştür. Ölçek uyarlamanın çeviri sürecinde dört uzman ve sekiz öğretmen adayı, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sürecinde ise yaş ve cinsiyet açısından çeşitlendirilmiş 180 gönüllü katılımcı yer almıştır.

Published: September 2019

Background: Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) has a significant positive correlation with poor glycemic

control (HbA1c ≥7%). The clinical, biochemical and electrophysiological parameters of DPN in Bangladeshi citizens have not yet been explored elaborately

Objective: The purpose of the study was to detect and categorize status of glycemic control of Bangladeshi people and to analyze its impact on clinical severity of DPN using Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS) and electrophysiological severity by modified Michigan diabetic neuropathy score (MDNS).

Methodology: This observational study was carried out on diabetic patients having probable DPN by purposive sampling, attending Neurology OPD of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh and Bangladesh Institute of Research & Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine & Metabolic Disorder (BIRDEM) Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2014 to June 2016. Clinical parameters were recorded and DPN was graded as “no neuropathy”, “mild”, “moderate” and “severe” neuropathy by the Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS). A standard nerve conduction study was performed on each patient and electrophysiological grading according to modified Michigan diabetic neuropathy score (MDNS) was done. Diabetic status of patients was classified into “controlled” (HbA1c <7.0%) and “uncontrolled” (HbA1c ≥7.0%) groups and HbA1c level and the clinical & electrophysiological severity scores were compared and were analyzed.

Results: Mean age of the patients was 57.2±9.37 years. 51.0% cases were males and 49% cases were females. The mean HbA1c in the study population was 7.6±0.94% and 56.0% patients had HbA1c≥ 7% .Motor nerve conduction studies revealed that both CMAP amplitudes and MNCV in the ulnar, peroneal and tibial nerves were reduced significantly in patients of uncontrolled (HbA1c≥7%) DM (p<0.001). Sensory nerve conduction studies revealed significant reduction in SNAP amplitudes of median and ulnar sensory and sural nerves in the uncontrolled group (p<0.001). Electrophysiologically, 65.43% patients had mixed sensory-motor neuropathy (p<0.00001). Clinically severe DPN patients were higher (45.2%) within the uncontrolled (HbA1C ≥7%) group (p<0.00001). Similarly, severity in electrophysiological grading was more in patients with uncontrolled DM (48.8%) (p<0.00001).

Conclusions: Neuropathic severity, either clinically or electrophysiologically, was associated with higher values of HbA1c.
