Authors: Teguh Adean , Syam Fauzi
Published: May 2024

The environmental crisis caused by the escalating issue of plastic waste has garnered significant attention globally, including in Indonesia. Jambi, a region profoundly impacted, grapples with the challenge of managing plastic waste, which accounts for 50 percent of the annual waste production from 2022 to 2023. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of legal policies in addressing this environmental crisis, focusing on plastic waste management in Jambi. Additionally, it examines efforts to prevent further environmental deterioration through legal enforcement. Utilizing a qualitative approach with a case study methodology, data were gathered through interviews with various stakeholders, including governmental bodies, non-governmental organizations, and industrial sectors. Document reviews and literature surveys were also conducted to gain insights into the current state of plastic waste management in Jambi. Findings indicate that despite the existence of legal frameworks aimed at mitigating plastic waste issues, implementation remains limited, failing to significantly reduce plastic waste accumulation in Jambi. Critical factors such as inadequate inter-agency coordination, resource scarcity, and insufficient public awareness hinder effective environmental crisis management efforts. In conclusion, this research underscores the pressing need for more robust implementation of legal policies to combat the environmental crisis, particularly in plastic waste management in Jambi. Additionally, proactive measures through stringent legal enforcement are imperative to prevent further environmental degradation and safeguard the ecological integrity of Jambi's landscape.

Published: May 2024

The study aimed to analyse the mutual correlations between the metabolic activity of the brain evaluated by the magnetic resonance spectroscopy method (MRS) and intelligence and cognitive functions in adolescents with idiopathic generalised epilepsies (IGE). The focus of the study was placed on the activity of the thalamus and frontal cortex.Twenty newly diagnosed patients with juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) were included in the study. Adolescents underwent primary structural neuroimaging (1.5T) and advanced evaluation of the frontal cortex and thalamus by MRS. Concentrations of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), creatine plus phosphocreatine (Cr) and choline (Cho) were measured and were expressed as ratios of NAA/Cr, NAA/Ch and NAA/Cr+Ch. Patients also completed a panel of IQ and cognitive tests (e.g., FePsy Battery – classification test, verbal fluency test, RAVLT memory test). The correlation between the level of metabolites and the results of intellectual and cognitive tests was examined.Strong correlations were found between IQ and some cognitive functions and metabolic ratios in the IGEs group. Overall the patients whose NAA/Cr, NAA/Ch, NAA/Cr+Ch ratios were lower, obtained worse results in IQ and in some of the neuropsychological tests.The metabolite activity in the thalamus and frontal cortex impacts the results of neuropsychological tests in the group of patients with IGE.
Owner-Manager Attitudes to Soft Skills Training in Malta’s Small Enterprises
Authors: Spiteri Axiak Ilaria
Published: May 2024

A study of owner-manager attitudes to soft skills training in Malta and how these affect their small and micro businesses, and their learning as entrepreneurs. Talent retention and development may be overlooked when examining sustainable small business practice. In fact, training can help firms retain and develop a diverse range of employees, including those underrepresented in the workforce locally: upgrading skills rather than being caught in disruptive and expensive recruitment cycles (Bridge and O’Neill 2017; Klaus 2010). Training in soft skills (including interpersonal, communication, and listening skills as well as EQ) can provide a route to sustainable business growth. Studies as early as 2006 (such as Beaujean et al.) indicate that growing strong customer relationships is a crucial factor in achieving a competitive edge. Furthermore, the ‘impact of frontline emotional intelligence on the bottom line is clear’ and therefore work to encourage and develop such skills in employees is significant and worthwhile (Beaujean et al. 2006). This approach aligns well with key aspirations of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially number 9 (UN 2023). The attitudes of owner-managers, therefore, will certainly influence both whether soft skills are valued in the enterprise and whether all employees are offered training in these areas. This, in turn, may affect whether the business reaches its full potential.

Published: May 2024

Um problema caracterizado como transdisciplinar exige cooperação entre os diferentes domínios científicos conjuntamente com a sociedade em geral. Sendo assim, os trabalhos partilhados por várias àreas e instituições em convergência para a transdisciplaridade, buscam caminhos inovadores e de conciliação com a gestão pública. Porém podem surgir grupos que consideram esse tipo de articulação como suspeita, complexa ou problemática e, consequentemente, diminuem considerávelmente o empenho à pesquisa que propicia ganhos em termos de conhecimento científico. Esse comportamento contrário a cooperação transdisciplinar pode ser explicado pelas interações sistêmicas-comunicativas conforme as teorias luhmanianas. Portanto o objetivo deste ensaio é analisar criticamente os efeitos das interações sistêmicas-comunicativas no desenvolvimento de pesquisas transdiciplinares que poderiam ajudar na gestão pública. Com isso, busca-se fazer apontamentos sobre os pontos cruciais onde os esforços devem ser empregados para que a transdisciplinaridade não se dilua em um contexto de vácuos téoricos ou práticos, barreiras separatistas e excludentes que produzem fechamentos com porosidade seletiva e comportamentos egocêntricos.

O estudo traz as experiências das discentes mães do curso de Pedagogia da Faceli, destacando os desafios, implicações e as estratégias dessas mulheres para conciliar a maternidade e a formação universitária. Através de normas de gênero, as mães muitas vezes são sobrecarregadas como principais cuidadoras, com a necessidade de equilibrar o tempo entre cuidar dos filhos, estudar e trabalhar, o que pode afetar seu percurso na graduação e levá-las a abandonar os estudos, devido à sobrecarga de funções. A pesquisa se concentra em compreender como a maternidade impacta a rotina das mulheres na faculdade. Este estudo possui uma abordagem qualitativa, de caráter exploratório. A pesquisa revelou que a falta de suporte institucional, a inflexibilidade nos horários acadêmicos e a falta de compreensão dos professores são as principais barreiras enfrentadas pelas mães universitárias, causando um impacto emocional significativo devido à pressão de conciliar múltiplas responsabilidades sem suporte adequado. Além disso, a discriminação e os julgamentos de ordem moral enfrentados por mulheres que tentam conciliar a maternidade e a educação superior foram questões relevantes evidenciadas.

A enxaqueca, ou cefaleia migrânea, é um dos problemas neurológicos mais comuns na Atenção Primária, afetando mais as mulheres. Ela é caracterizada por episódios de dor de cabeça pulsátil, podendo durar de 4 a 72 horas e acompanhada por sintomas como náusea, sensibilidade à luz e ao som. A condição pode passar por diferentes fases: premonitória, aura, cefaleia e pós-dromo. A enxaqueca com aura visual é marcada por sintomas visuais que antecedem a dor de cabeça. O diagnóstico requer a presença de características específicas em pelo menos 5 crises, incluindo duração, distribuição unilateral, intensidade e sintomas associados. Uma revisão sistemática recente examinou estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos sobre novos medicamentos para tratar a enxaqueca com aura. Um estudo investigou a eficácia do Rimegepant no tratamento da enxaqueca com e sem aura, mostrando que o medicamento foi mais eficaz do que o placebo na redução do número de dias de enxaqueca e na diminuição das crises em pelo menos 50%. Além disso, o Magnésio e a suplementação vitamínica foram considerados como tratamentos potenciais para prevenir crises de enxaqueca, com o Magnésio mostrando-se útil, especialmente quando combinado com valproato de sódio. O Topiramato também demonstrou potencial na redução da frequência das crises, embora seu uso seja limitado por efeitos colaterais. A solução oral de Celecoxibe, assim como o Galcanezumabe e a Zonisamida foram eficazes e segura no tratamento da enxaqueca aguda, apresentando uma baixa incidência de efeitos adversos gastrointestinais. Apesar dos avanços, os desafios persistem na abordagem personalizada da enxaqueca, e é crucial investir em pesquisa, educação e conscientização para melhorar o diagnóstico e o manejo da condição.

Published: May 2024

Frying is one of the most attractive food preparation techniques and has been in use for centuries. It refers to a gastronomic practice that is widely accepted around the world and used both in the industrial area and domestically. It is worth noting that this preference of consumers for fried foods is due to their unique sensory properties, such as taste, aroma and texture. However, with the high temperature that is used in the cooking method, the chemical composition of the frying oil can be modified. The reactions that occur in vegetable oils during frying (hydrolytic processes) are associated with several mechanisms, such as reactive species, chemical formation of the lipid, medium and method, inducing the speed and nature of frying. The purpose of this work is to investigate the characteristics of the vegetable oil most used by the population (refined soybean oils) used in the domestic method of short-term frying, using the electric fryer for domestic use and conventional method. Nugget-type breaded products were used because they are a convenient product, widely consumed in industrialized countries. Short-term domestic frying was done over the course of three days, with a period of one week. After each frying, the refined oil was researched. The methodology is based on bromatological evaluations of quality research using acidity analyses, where the content of free acidity, compounds formed by hydrolytic rancidity, was verified. According to the results, the samples of fresh soybean oil were within the regulatory limits. However, soon after the short-term frying process, there was an increase in the free fatty acid content of both short-term domestic frying using soybean oil. In addition, there was no considerable difference in the increase in the value of fatty acids in relation to both domestic frying techniques. However, as a rule, the oil showed an excellent thermal quality, bromatological analyses showed that it is necessary to be cautious when reusing short-term frying oils. It is analyzed that the electric fryer is efficient in the quality of the oil in terms of preservation in contrast to the conventional method, possibly for the reason of temperature control and better sealing effectiveness.

Published: May 2024

With the creation of the Manaus Free Trade Zone in 1967, the growth of the city of Ma-naus accelerated rapidly, increasing the consumption of materials and energy. The num-ber of vehicles also increased, and traffic became chaotic, contributing to high emissions of greenhouse gases and particulate matter. The city does not have a public policy for moni-toring atmospheric air quality, but some pioneering initiatives have been implemented by researchers at the Federal University of Amazonas (ENERAR Project/NIEMA/UFAM, 2005-2012) and more recently by the Amazonas State University (EducAIR Project). This paper analyzes inhalable particle data from the Air Quality Monitoring Station ac-quired under the ENERAR project developed by NIEMA/UFAM and considers the in-fluence of the equatorial climate on emissions, analyzing the number of particles sus-pended in the air in relation to rainfall levels at the time of data collection. It also in-cludes current air quality data published by the Electronic Environmental Surveillance System (SELVA) created by the Amazonas State University. The results suggest that the frequent tropical rains, which are a feature of the local climate, help to disperse the pollu-tants, but also underline the fact that in the dry season, when rainfall is very low and wind speed is practically non-existent, the pollutants remain in the air for much longer periods.

This study presents a comprehensive review of geriatric urinary incontinence, addressing its subtypes, epidemiology, biopathology, causes in the elderly, transient considerations, functional urinary incontinence, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment options. The survey, conducted from November 2023 to February 2024, used a systematic approach across biomedical databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Relevant search terms were applied, such as "geriatric urinary incontinence", "urge incontinence", "stress incontinence", among others. There was no restriction of language or date of publication in the selection of studies. The literature review highlights that urinary incontinence, characterized by the involuntary extravasation of urine, predominantly affects women and increases with age. It is estimated that up to one-third of community-dwelling older adults and half of hospitalized patients suffer from transient incontinence. The associated costs in the U.S. exceed $83 billion annually. In addition to the financial impacts, incontinence can lead to serious physical complications and emotional impacts, such as shame and social isolation. The biopathology of urinary incontinence in the elderly involves changes in the detrusor muscle, urethral changes, and prostatic obstruction in men, in addition to neurological factors. Overactivity of the detrusor muscle is the most common cause, followed by stress urinary incontinence and urethral obstruction in men. Functional urinary incontinence, associated with cognition and mobility deficits, is another relevant type. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, voiding diary and, in some cases, urodynamic evaluation for complex cases. Treatment encompasses behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, and surgical procedures. Behavioral therapy, including voiding habit re-education and pelvic floor exercises, is an essential approach. Medications, such as anticholinergics and mirabegrone, are modestly effective but can have side effects, especially in the elderly. Surgical procedures, such as urethral sling and neuromodulation, are options for severe or refractory cases. This review highlights the importance of a comprehensive understanding of geriatric urinary incontinence, not only because of its prevalence and social impacts, but also because of the variety of causes and treatment options available. Future directions for research include further investigations into the efficacy and safety of existing therapies, especially in elderly populations.

The present study aims to present a new way of observing risk management and disaster management, seeking to understand better integration between agencies, and in the specific case of this article, the direct relationship between cand the Public Ministry.In this new perspective, the focus is on better guaranteeing fundamental rights, since v deals with disaster actions and is directly linked to the Public Ministry in terms of protecting the fundamental rights of people affected by various forms of socio-environmental disasters. It is worth noting that this new approach has a new way of articulating agencies in favor of better defending the fundamental rights of victims, but with a bias towards including disaster prevention and mitigation actions.

A crescente expansão das arboviroses no Brasil, no ano de 2019 estima-se aumento de 432,3 % casos prováveis de Dengue associado à resistência do vetor aos larvicidas convencionais. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito larvicida do extrato liofilizado de Caryocar coriaceum em larvas de Aedes aegypti. Para o preparo do extrato usou-se 500g de folhas secas, maceradas e expostas ao etanol 50 GL. Após 72 horas foi concentrado sob baixa pressão a 50 ºC liofilizado e armazenado em frasco âmbar. Os ovos de A. aegypti foram eclodidos em uma bandeja contendo 2L de água decorada, com amostra de 131 larvas, distribuídas em triplicata nas quatro concentrações: (1000 µg/ml, 750 µg/ml, 500 µg/ml e 250 µg/ml).O controle foi tratado apenas com água declorada, e todas as larvas alimentadas com ração de gato e mantidas até a fase de pupa. Os dados foram analisados em frequência relativa, Anova de dois fatores e teste de Tukey a 0,05% no programa R-studio. Obteve-se as seguintes taxas de mortalidade (18,52%, 22,59%, 67,40% e 10,37%). Somente a concentração 500 µg/ml demonstrou efeito larvicida, porém as demais concentrações influenciaram no desenvolvimento,cujo retardo pode estar associado a presença dos flavonoides e taninos.
Management of the fungal infections and challenges associated with it

Fungal infections are becoming more common at an alarming rate, which poses a significant challenge to medical experts. This growth is directly linked to the rise in the number of people with impaired immune systems as a result of modifications to medical practice, including the use of immunosuppressive medications and intense chemotherapy. HIV and other illnesses that impair immunity have also had a role in this issue. Mucous membranes, keratinous tissues, and the skin are all impacted by superficial and subcutaneous fungal infections. This class includes some of the most common skin conditions that impact millions of people globally. They can have crippling consequences on a person's quality of life and, in certain cases, spread to other people or become invasive, even though they are rarely life-threatening. Fungal pathogens employ several tactics to compromise the immune system of the host and escalate infections. The range of antifungal drugs available is used to treat a number of superficial and systemic diseases. The well-established evidence of fungal resistance to most antifungal medicines complicates antifungal therapy and makes disease control challenging. Fungal resistance is caused by a range of genetic alterations, physiological alterations, and selection in the presence of antifungal drugs. The lack of a wide range of antifungal drugs, resistance building, and biofilm-conferred resistance are the main reasons for the need for novel therapeutics and other approaches to enhance treatment outcomes against mycoses.

Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) is a plant that has been used in a variety of disciplines, including medicine, aromatherapy, trade, environmental protection, and agriculture, due to its historic importance and versatility. Vetiver has a rich history in traditional medical practises; nevertheless, just a few research studies have confirmed its usefulness in illness therapy. The goal of this study was to gather current data on phytochemistry and pharmacology. It was discovered that several traditional vetivers use were validated when examined using various disease-based pharmacological models with extracts of roots, leaves, and root oil as test materials. Plants are valued in the pharmaceutical business for their structural diversity and vast variety of pharmacological activity. Phytochemicals refer to physiologically active substances found in plants. These phytochemicals serve as direct medicinal agents. This research focuses on the collecting of Vetiver plants, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the phytochemicals, and the technique of detection
