Methodology for measuring oxidative capacity of isolated peroxisomes in the Seahorse assay
Authors: A. Stork Brittany , Dean Adam , York Brian
Published: June 2022

The regulation of cellular energetics is a complex process that requires the coordinated function of multiple organelles. Historically, studies focused on understanding cellular energy utilization and production have been overwhelmingly concentrated on the mitochondria. While mitochondria account for the majority of intracellular energy production, they alone are incapable of maintaining the variable energetic demands of the cell. The peroxisome has recently emerged as a secondary metabolic organelle that complements and improves mitochondrial performance. Although mitochondria and peroxisomes are structurally distinct organelles, they share key functional similarities that allows for the potential to repurpose readily available tools initially developed for mitochondrial assessment to interrogate peroxisomal metabolic function in a novel manner. To this end, we report here on procedures for the isolation, purification and real-time metabolic assessment of peroxisomal β-oxidation using the Agilent Seahorse® system. When used together, these protocols provide a straightforward, reproducible and highly quantifiable method for measuring the contributions of peroxisomes to cellular and organismal metabolism.

An (Distinctive) Example of Strengtening a Validity: Self-evaluation of the School Based Action Research
Authors: Uzuner Yıldız
Published: June 2022

It is important to evaluate any research effort in order to see if it is scientifically based research. It is much easier to analyze someone else’s work. As action researchers, the researchers are insiders of their research efforts. On the other hand, self-evaluation of one’s own research effort would strengthen the research process and provide strong basis for the future research efforts. The author has focused on the self-evaluation of the action research directed by herself. Utilizing the evaluation schema offered by Malone (2014) she aims to prompt enhanced understanding about the evaluation of action research project. In conclusion, it could be approved that the schema offered by Malone is comprehensive and valid tool for evaluation action research projects. In the light of this schema the analyzed action research project is considered as scientifically based research. The author recommends the other researchers utilize this schema to evaluate their action research project.

Land lease in Slovakia in the light of the new legal regulations
Authors: Lazíková Jarmila , Bandlerová Anna
Published: June 2022

Agricultural land plays an important role in national food sovereignty where agricultural producers play a dominant role. Therefore the objective of Slovak lawmakers is to create conditions enabling agricultural land to remain in the hand of farmers. The Act on Land Lease is one of the most important legal regulations in the Slovak Republic where most of agricultural land is leased by agricultural producers. The paper identifies the main legal institutions of land lease in Slovakia and discusses the balanced relationships between a lessor as a landowner and a lessee as an agricultural producer and the relationship between them and their legal certainty in this relationship, mainly in situations when they rely on legal regulations that do not specify directly and explicitly their rights and obligations arising from land lease contracts. The most recent important amendments to land law are also discussed and some necessary modifications aimed at clarifying the relationship between parties to a lease contract are proposed.

The Mass-Lumped Midpoint Scheme for Computational Micromagnetics: Newton Linearization and Application to Magnetic Skyrmion Dynamics
Authors: Di Fratta Giovanni , Pfeiler Carl-Martin , Praetorius Dirk , Ruggeri Michele
Published: June 2022

We discuss a mass-lumped midpoint scheme for the numerical approximation of the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation, which models the dynamics of the magnetization in ferromagnetic materials.
In addition to the classical micromagnetic field contributions, our setting covers the non-standard Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, which is the essential ingredient for the enucleation and stabilization of magnetic skyrmions.
Our analysis also includes the inexact solution of the arising nonlinear systems, for which we discuss both a constraint-preserving fixed-point solver from the literature and a novel approach based on the Newton method.
We numerically compare the two linearization techniques and show that the Newton solver leads to a considerably lower number of nonlinear iterations.
Moreover, in a numerical study on magnetic skyrmions, we demonstrate that, for magnetization dynamics that are very sensitive to energy perturbations, the midpoint scheme, due to its conservation properties, is superior to the dissipative tangent plane schemes from the literature.

Published: June 2022

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and this study underlines the significance of a small molecule glyceryl tribenzoate (GTB), a FDA approved food additive, in preventing parkinsonian pathologies in MPTP-induced animal models. The study conducted in MPTP-induced mice demonstrated dose-dependent protection of nigral tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and striatal dopamine level by GTB oral treatment and the optimum dose was found to be 50 mg/kg/d. In the next phase, the study was carried out in MPTP-injected hemiparkinsonian monkeys, which recapitulate better clinical parkinsonian syndromes. GTB inhibited MPTP-driven induction of glial inflammation, which was evidenced by reduced level of GTP-p21Ras and phospho-p65 in SN of monkeys. It led to decreased expression of inflammatory markers such as IL-1β and iNOS. Simultaneously, GTB oral treatment protected nigral TH cells, striatal dopamine, and improved motor behaviour of hemiparkinsonian monkeys. Presence of sodium benzoate, a GTB metabolite and a FDA-approved drug for urea cycle disorders and glycine encephalopathy, in the brain suggests that the neuroprotective effect imparted by GTB might be mediated by sodium benzoate. Although the mechanism of action of GTB is poorly understood, the study sheds light on the therapeutic possibility of a food additive GTB in PD.
Don’t Leave Indonesian Manuscripts in Danger: An Analysis of Digitalization and Preservation
Authors: Fakhriati Fakhriati , Mu’jizah Mu’jizah , Holil Munawar , Permadi Tedi
Published: June 2022

Although manuscript digitalization helps to safeguard old manuscripts, the challenges of old manuscripts’ preservation remain present. Old manuscripts are increasingly neglected and hard to access. This study aims to shed light on the preservation of manuscript contents as it is being done through various digitalization programs by a variety of national and international institutions in Indonesia. This study found that, paradoxically, the availability of many digital manuscripts does not enhance the study of their contents. Similarly, attention to the physical preservation of these manuscripts has also not seen a significant improvement. By using philological, codicological, and anthropological approaches, this study gives contribution to enhance the understanding on the needs of manuscript digitalization as an integral effort to preserve their contents and physical preservation.
New avenues and challenges in semantic map research (with a case study in the semantic field of emotions)
Authors: Georgakopoulos Thanasis , Polis Stéphane
Published: June 2022

In this paper, we present an overview of the methods associated with semantic maps, focusing on current challenges and new avenues for research in this area, which are at the core of the contributions to this special issue. Among the fundamental questions are: (1) the validity of the basic assumption, namely, to what extent does coexpression reflect semantic similarity; (2) the central problem of identifying analytical primitives in the domain of semantics; (3) the methods of inference used for creating coexpression maps and the representation techniques (graph structure vs. Euclidean space) as well as their respective merits (including the goodness of fit of the models); and (4) the use of semantic maps to support diachronic and synchronic descriptions of individual languages. In order to illustrate and discuss key aspects, we conduct an experiment in the semantic field of emotions, for which we construct a classical semantic map based on the dataset of CLICS3.

Despite many sectors of society striving for sustainability in environmental management, humans often fail to identify and act on the connections and processes responsible for social–ecological tipping points. Part of the problem is the fracturing of environmental management and social–ecological research into ecosystem domains (land, freshwater, and sea), each with different scales and resolution of data acquisition and distinct management approaches. We present a perspective on the social–ecological connections across ecosystem domains that emphasize the need for management reprioritization to effectively connect these domains. We identify critical nexus points related to the drivers of tipping points, scales of governance, and the spatial and temporal dimensions of social–ecological processes. We combine real-world examples and a simple dynamic model to illustrate the implications of slow management responses to environmental impacts that traverse ecosystem domains. We end with guidance on management and research opportunities that arise from this cross-domain lens to foster greater opportunity to achieve environmental and sustainability goals.
Effectiveness of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in rural area of Bangladesh: a study on village shalish system of Madhukhali Upazilla
Authors: Rahman Md. Zarif
Published: June 2022

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Shalish system in light of the field experience of Madhukhali upazila of Faridpur in Bangladesh. This study has mainly applied qualitative research techniques to fulfil the research objectives. The primary data has been collected through KIIs (Key Informant Interviews) and FGD (Focus Group Discussion). "Targeted Sampling" has been followed for conducting KIIs and FGD. In this context, experienced village leaders (Matobbor) and beneficiaries of the Shalish system in these areas were the main respondents. To collect the secondary data, information has also been collected from relevant websites, journal articles, and books. The study shows that the villagers still rely on the system confidently. Generally, two types of processes can be observed, which are top-down processes and bottom-up processes. The top-down process stresses that the Shalish may be initiated by village leaders. On the other hand, the bottom-up process stresses that the Shalish may be initiated from the beneficiary end. There are no specific conditions or criteria for being a member of the Shalish board. However, the most common types of disputes resolved by Shalish are family disputes, land disputes, arson or other kinds of violence, stealing or robbery, etc. The major challenges the system has faced are interference by politics, lack of documentation, and lack of a legal basis.

The data collected by the DAMA/LIBRA-phase2 set-up during two additional annual cycles have been analyzed, further investigating the long-standing model-independent annual modulation effect pointed out by DAMA deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the I.N.F.N. by using various different experimental configurations. Including the new results, the total exposure of DAMA/LIBRA-phase2 over 8 annual cycles is 1.53 t·yr and the evidence for a signal that meets all the requirements of the model-independent Dark Matter annual modulation signature is 11.8 σ C.L. in the energy region (1 - 6) keV. In the (2 - 6) keV energy interval, where data are also available from DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA-phase1, the achieved C.L. for the full exposure of 2.86 t·yr is 13.7 σ. No systematics or side reaction able to mimic this signature (i.e., to account for the whole measured modulation amplitude and to simultaneously satisfy all the requirements of the signature) has been found or suggested by anyone throughout some decades thus far. A preliminary result on the further lowering of the software energy threshold and perspectives are also mentioned.

Published: June 2022

A review of the information system for nuclear material accounting and control at the level of the Belarusian regulatory body in the field of nuclear and radiation safety is presented. This system is developed in accordance with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) requirements depicted in Code 10 of the State subsidiary arrangements. The system provides automatic generation of the following accounting reports: physical inventory listing, inventory change report, material balance report, and textual report for each material balance area as well as the corresponding General Ledger. It provides all necessary calculations and pre-calculations, based on input data, to produce accurate accounting reports. The system implements the import/export of data to/from the system using Code 10 (labelled and fixed formats), as well as making adjustments to accounting documents in accordance with IAEA rules. There are two possibilities of nuclear material accounting in the system. The first consists of importing into the system of all reporting documents from the material balance areas of facilities and the subsequent possibility of checking the received data using an independent recalculation tool in the system. The second one includes the registration of all necessary information on nuclear material batches at locations outside facilities and their movement in the material balance area and then automatic generation of all required reports and General Ledger.
Leveraging the Biology of Adversity and Resilience to Transform Pediatric Practice
Authors: Shonkoff Jack P. , Boyce W. Thomas , Levitt Pat , Martinez Fernando D. , McEwen Bruce
Published: June 2022

Advances in science are fundamentally changing the way we understand how inextricable interactions among genetic predispositions, physical and social environments, and developmental timing influence early childhood development and the foundations of health and how significant early adversity can lead to a lifetime of chronic health impairments. This article and companion article illustrate the extent to which differential outcomes are shaped by ongoing interactive adaptations to context that begin at or even before conception and continue throughout life, with increasing evidence pointing to the importance of the prenatal period and early infancy for the developing brain, the immune system, and metabolic regulation. Although new discoveries in the basic sciences are transforming tertiary medical care and producing breakthrough outcomes in treating disease, this knowledge is not being leveraged effectively to inform new approaches to promoting whole-child development and preventing illness. The opportunity for pediatrics to serve as the leading edge of science-based innovation across the early childhood ecosystem has never been more compelling. In this article, we present a framework for leveraging the frontiers of scientific discovery to inform new strategies in pediatric practice and advocacy to protect all developing biological systems from the disruptive effects of excessive early adversity beyond providing information on child development for parents and enriched learning experiences for young children.
Inyección de nutrientes: una técnica eficiente para incrementar el rendimiento del cultivo de plátano (Musa AAB
Authors: Silva-Arero Elías Alexander , Cardona William Andrés , Bolaños-Benavides Martha Marina , Morales-Osorno Humberto
Published: June 2022

Introducción. Existen métodos alternativos de fertilización como la inyección de fertilizantes al seudotallo que presenta mayor eficiencia que la fertilización edáfica tradicional. Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de la fertilización edáfica e inyección de nutrientes sobre variables morfológicas y peso del racimo de plátano en suelos de fertilidad variable. Materiales y métodos. Se establecieron dos experimentos en los municipios de Viotá y Chaguaní, Cundinamarca, Colombia, en 2018. Se usó un diseño completamente aleatorizado en arreglo bifactorial. Los dos experimentos fueron: Experimento A: dos localidades y dos tipos de fertilización (tradicional y química edáfica) y Experimento B: dos localidades y cuatro soluciones nutritivas (una a base de aminoácidos y otra con nutrientes, ambas en dos proporciones) más un testigo. Las variables de respuesta fueron: peso de racimo, días de floración a cosecha, diámetro y longitud externa del dedo central. Resultados. La fertilización edáfica orgánica en el suelo de Chaguaní no tuvo efecto sobre el peso del racimo en comparación con las fuentes químicas. En Viotá, la fertilización edáfica química incrementó el peso del racimo en comparación con la fertilización tradicional. Esta respuesta diferencial se explica porque en Chaguaní el suelo presentó mayor capacidad de intercambio, contenido de nutrientes y carbono orgánico. Las plantas sembradas en Chaguaní produjeron racimos de mayor peso (21,6 kg) en comparación con Viotá (19,0 kg), pero los dedos del racimo fueron más cortos en esta localidad. La inyección de nutrientes en ambas localidades incrementó el rendimiento del cultivo del plátano en comparación con el testigo sin inyección. Conclusiones. Una dosis baja de fertilizante en el suelo de alta fertilidad generó un efecto similar en la producción de plátano registrada en el suelo de baja fertilidad que recibió una dosis alta de fertilizante. La inyección de soluciones nutritivas se debe validar como alternativa complementaria a la fertilización edáfica tradicional.

Addressing the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Journalism: the perception of experts, journalists and academics
Authors: Noain-Sánchez Amaya
Published: June 2022

Over the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become gradually more prevalent in mass media and news agency newsrooms. This growing tendency has prompted intense debate about the negative impact on journalism, particularly on quality standards and ethical principles. Taking an explorative approach, this study aims to analyse the application of AI in newsrooms, focusing on the impact on news-making processes, media routines and profiles, highlighting the benefits and shortcomings, and finally, analysing the rise of ethical dilemmas. For this purpose, 15 in-depth interviews were conducted in two rounds, in 2019 and 2021, with a sample of journalists and other media professionals, academics, experts on the media industry, and providers of technology leading the work on AI. The international sample includes interviewees from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. The interviewees agree that AI will enhance journalists’ capabilities by saving time, augmenting the efficiency of the news-making processes and, therefore, increasing mass media industry productivity. However, a change of mind-set in the media environment is needed, and training on the use of these tools must be a priority given the lack of knowledge observed. Finally, the emergence of ethical issues underlines the need for continuous control and supervision of the processes undertaken by AI.

Authors: Chong-Neto Herberto Jose , Rosario Cristine , Leonardi Andrea , Rosario Filho Nelson Augusto
Published: June 2022

The association between symptoms of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis (RC) and allergic conjunctivitis (AC) is frequent, and AC is considered a comorbidity of asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR). Ocular symptoms are often underestimated and undertreated.Differences according to gender were reported, because girls present symptoms more frequently. The development of RC depends on genetic and environmental factors, and recent studies have indicated that gender, family history of atopy, early sensitization, food allergy, and atopic dermatitis are risk factors for allergic RC. There are six well-defined clinical forms of ocular allergy: seasonal AC, perennial AC, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, atopic keratocon-junctivitis, and contact blepharoconjunctivitis.

Hummingbird-plant networks in rupestrian fields and riparian forests in altitudinal areas of the Serra da Canastra National Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Authors: Maianne Monique , Fieker Carolline Zatta , Dias Manoel Martins , Reis Matheus Gonçalves dos
Published: June 2022

Abstract: Hummingbirds are specialized in consumption of nectar and play an important role in Neotropical plant communities acting as pollinator organisms. Despite the importance of this mutualistic interaction, studies about hummingbird-plant relationships remain scarce regarding the Cerrado domain (Brazilian savanna). In this study, we aimed to describe the interaction network between hummingbirds and plants in rupestrian fields and riparian forests located in altitudinal areas of the Serra da Canastra National Park. We established two transects in each phytophysiognomy, that were sampled monthly for four days, from November 2018 to October 2019. Flowering plants in each transect were observed each survey, and all the visiting hummingbirds were recorded. Networks were constructed using the R bipartite package, considering each phytophysiognomy type, and grouping data of both environments. From these three network arrangements, we extracted complementary metrics at the community level (modularity, nestedness, and network specialization index), and at the species level (species specialization index and species strength in the network). We recorded 647 interactions between 10 hummingbird species and 23 flowering plant species. The hummingbird Colibri serrirostris was responsible for most of observed bird-plant interactions and the plant Qualea cordata was the most visited. The general network was significantly modular, comprising four modules, and showed considerable high specialization and low nestedness. The interaction network in the rupestrian field showed a higher specialization, nestedness, and modularity index when compared to riparian forests, while the metrics of this ecosystem did not differ from those of the general network. However, the metrics at hummingbird species level did not differ significantly between phytophysiognomies. This study corroborated some findings about hummingbird-plant networks in other areas of the Cerrado domain, but also pointed idiosyncrasies in networks of the investigated phytophysiognomies, especially the rupestrian fields.

ABSTRACT Objective to analyze the relationship between family insufficiency and the condition and the markers of physical frailty of elderly people followed up in a Geriatrics and Gerontology outpatient clinic. Method a quantitative and cross-sectional study conducted with 384 elderly (≥ 60 years) selected by pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Physical frailty was assessed according to the frailty phenotype and family insufficiency by the Family APGAR. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and univariate analysis using the chi-square test with a statistical significance level of p≤0.05. Results there was no association between family insufficiency and physical frailty (p=0.344), however, it was observed a percentage of frail elderlies with high Family Dysfunction (22.2%) and moderate Family Dysfunction (19.4%), higher than that observed among the elderly with good family functioning (12.2%). Among the frail elderly for the marker “fatigue/exhaustion”, there was a direct proportionality to the degree of Family Dysfunction and a statistically significant relation to the total score of the Family APGAR (p=0.001). Conclusion and implications for the practice family frailty in the elderly is related to other intra-family factors and not exclusively to physical frailty, however, it can be stated that the degree of physical frailty among the elderly is directly proportional to the level of Family Dysfunction.

RESUMO Objetivo analisar a relação entre insuficiência familiar e a condição e os marcadores de fragilidade física de idosos acompanhados em ambulatório de Geriatria e Gerontologia. Método estudo quantitativo e transversal realizado com 384 idosos (≥ 60 anos) selecionados por critérios pré-estabelecidos de inclusão e exclusão. Avaliaram-se a fragilidade física segundo o fenótipo da fragilidade e a insuficiência familiar pelo APGAR de Família. Analisaram-se os dados mediante a estatística descritiva e a análise univariada mediante o teste de qui-quadrado com nível de significância estatístico de p≤0,05. Resultados não houve associação entre insuficiência familiar e fragilidade física (p=0,344), entretanto, observou-se percentual de idosos frágeis com elevada Disfunção Familiar (22,2%) e moderada Disfunção Familiar (19,4%), maior que o observado entre os idosos com boa funcionalidade familiar (12,2%). Entre os idosos frágeis para o marcador “fadiga/exaustão”, houve proporcionalidade direta ao grau de Disfunção Familiar e relação estatisticamente significativa ao escore total do APGAR de Família (p=0,001). Conclusão e implicações para a prática a insuficiência familiar no idoso está relacionada a outros fatores intrafamiliares e não exclusivamente à fragilidade física, no entanto, pode-se afirmar que o grau de fragilidade física entre os idosos é diretamente proporcional ao nível de Disfunção Familiar.
Occupational therapists’ perceptions of the need to enact health promotion in community development through occupational justice
Authors: Albuquerque Sophie , Farias Lisette
Published: June 2022

Abstract Introduction Social determinants of health underlie and contribute to health inequalities. Stigma, poverty, and unequal access to health care are examples of social determinants that affect people’s well-being and participation in society. Although occupational therapists use occupation to promote health and well-being, they rarely consider how to address the reduction of health inequalities in their practice. Objective The study aimed to explore how occupational therapists perceive the need to enact health promotion in community development through occupational justice. Method Following critical participatory action research principles, group discussions were conducted by six professionals from across France. Occupational justice frameworks and public health reports were used to prompt a group dialogue over four months. A content analysis of the discussion was conducted, guided by the theory of practice architectures to understand how the therapists’ practices were shaped by discursive, economic, and socio-political circumstances. Results Four themes reflected the professional needs to undertake community development: ‘the professional skills needed to enact the community’s own know-how and self-expertise’, ‘the importance of seeing the ‘whole’ picture and reaching out to other sectors’, ‘the need for occupational justice to understand the complexity of community development’, and ‘the need to move beyond body functions in education’. Conclusion Community development offers unique opportunities to work in the complex context of everyday living. Reasoning informed by occupational justice concepts enables occupational therapists to consider health outcomes caused by social determinants. Occupational therapy education must train students for complex reasoning on how occupational injustices are rooted in everyday social contexts.

Resumen Objetivo Conocer las repercusiones ocupacionales que provoca el tratamiento de hemodiálisis en personas que padecen Enfermedad Renal Crónica Terminal (ERC) y de qué manera las políticas públicas en Chile, específicamente, Garantías Explícitas de Salud (GES) abordan las necesidades de esta población. Método Se utilizaron pautas de observación ambiental, notas de campo, entrevistas semiestructuradas a usuarios, usuarias y profesionales que se desempeñan en la Unidad de Hemodiálisis del Hospital Base de Valdivia, Chile. Además, se realizó un análisis documental que incluyó guías clínicas y normas técnicas de la Unidad de Hemodiálisis. Resultados Los datos se organizaron en 5 tópicos: Unidad de hemodiálisis Hospital Base Valdivia, Proceso de cambio y adaptación, Rutinas y hábitos, Roles y Suficiencia de políticas públicas. Se evidencian quiebres en las historias ocupacionales, dificultades en el proceso de adaptación y la necesidad de un abordaje integral que no es considerado por las políticas públicas. Conclusion Se propone la necesidad de un tratamiento multidisciplinario que considere un acompañamiento en el proceso de adaptación ocupacional, en especial en etapas tempranas después del diagnóstico, a fin de prevenir el impacto en la calidad de vida de esta población, así como la necesidad de desarrollar más estudios acerca del tema.
Who is safe at work? Problematizing employment volatility during the 2008-2018 Spanish socioeconomic crisis from a critical occupational perspective

Abstract Introduction The Spanish socioeconomic crisis context has impacted on the population’s work conditions, which generates instability and workers’ fear of losing their job. Despite the recent research which addresses the work as an occupation in Critical Occupational Therapy and Science, little is known about the volatility of employment in relation to the job instability resulting from contextual changes. Objectives To explore the relationship between employment volatility, participation in daily occupations, and the health and wellbeing of workers during the Spanish socioeconomic crisis. Method A narrative qualitative methodology was conducted. Two open interviews and a personal diary were used as data generation methods. Two experiences were analyzed by adopting a thematic analysis. Results Three thematic categories illustrate how workers orchestrate their occupations in a context of employment volatility and they situate the multidimensional context of work in such circumstances as restrictive of occupational opportunities. Uncertainty generates a normalized instability in the daily life of workers, which impact occupational choices, health, and wellbeing. In addition, participants reflect on future perspectives of work associated with precarity and resignation. Conclusions The study of the employment volatility contributes to broadening the conceptualization of work as an occupation and contribute to the development of occupational justice-based practices.
