Effect of Artificial Sweetener Aspartame on Gut Microbiota - A Narrative Review
Authors: Sandhu Pardeep Kaur
Published: August 2021

Artificial sweeteners are used widely as sugar substitutes worldwide. Aspartame is the rapidly metabolised non caloric artificial sweetener commonly used in food and beverages. Use of aspartame can leads to Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, colon cancer, neurological and behavioural disorders. The gut microbiota plays an important role in maintaining good health and its dysbiosis leads to metabolic disorders. The present review investigates through the existing literature the effect of aspartame on gut microbiota. There is variation in results in different studies as both positive and inconclusive results are reported. Experimental studies also indicate change in gut microbiota of the infants of pregnant and lactating mothers leading to metabolic disturbances. The literature indicates that the baseline composition of gut microbiota and habitual dietary intake affects the host response to the intervention. So, to establish the relation of aspartame intake with gut dysbiosis it is important to design studies taking into consideration the baseline composition and habitual diet of the respondents and intervention diets should be carefully controlled. Although aspartame is considered to be safe for use by regulatory authorities but taking into consideration its wide use in food industry it is important to assess its health risks regularly in interest of consumer health and more studies are warranted with appropriate study designs.

This project is to supply single phase home appliances. This project is used for an alternative for MCB. MCB is fault current protective device which trip on fault current which flows in the circuit. MCB are based on the thermal bimetallic trip mechanism which is very slow and tripping time is based upon percentage of overloads MCB having bimetallic trip which gets derated after some mechanical operation and cause unwanted tripping. All the above faults will be overcome by smart circuit breakers which provide all types of protection such as overload, under voltage, high temperature and short circuit protection, this type of protection is necessary because, now days all, appliance such as LCD, Air conditioner, Refrigerator, etc consist of electronic circuitry which is voltage sensitive and get damage at voltage fluctuation. This project also monitors and display fault on LCD and stores the data for further action. Smart circuit breaker is fast acting and sense relay as fast as possible and trips the relay within 100msec. than MCB which takes 1000msec. to 1600msec. In addition to that LM 35 temperature sensor is also interface to microcontroller by if temperature exceed 550C microcontroller will trip the relay. The intention to use temperature sensor is to detect fire hazard in domestic purpose as well as commercial purpose.

Authors: Dake Saurabh Ravikiran
Published: August 2021

Over the past years, rapid growth due to urbanization and industrialization, the changes in Land over and land use patterns have resulted in permanent environmental pollution to the hydrological processes. The hydrological cycle in cities is seriously affected due to increasing impervious areas as a result of urban development which has enhanced the risk of urban flooding. The increase in the impermeable area decreases infiltration, increases the runoff and reduces the time of concentration. Hence, for a given amount of rainfall, greater flooding is generated. Understanding the scope and limitation of sustainable stormwater management techniques detailed literature review is carried out. Site suitability is based on spatial analysis of data like geomorphology, slope, recharge condition, landuse and Landover map. Then analyzing local site conditions possible techniques that could be used to manage stormwater runoff are recommended and conclusions are drawn on the same.

THE UNIVERSAL MEANING OF THE SAMANYA AND VISHESHA CONCEPT IN PERSPECTIVE OF AYURVEDA
Authors: Bhokardankar P
Published: August 2021

In Ayurveda, there is a central concept referred to as the principle of Samanya (likeness) and Vishesha (difference). While within the sense of yuktivyapashraya (rational medicine) in Ayurveda the concept was ultimately advocated, we might wish to argue here that it's universal applicability in Ayurveda, through systems and realms of data, including science, technology, and humanities, also as empirical, experiential and traditional systems of data. Aims: We illustrated the universal importance of the idea of Samanya and Vishesha, taking samples of a number of the foremost well-known ecological, economic and social problems. Obviously, these concerns are often of greater importance to public health, it’s the new order of thought to hold out an Ayurveda idea from its premises. So as to decipher other fundamental concepts of Ayurveda from the attitude of their broader applicability, and thus their robustness, the path-breaking insights offered have important implications. Conclusions: We've shown how forward future Ayurveda research to create a knowledge domain in contemporary society for evidence-based clinical practice. In short, as seen here by the study of three cases, the concept of Samanya and Vishesha has good applicability.Rather, some of these are so robust that they are widely applicable across structures and fields of knowledge, including science, technology and humanities, as well as science, experience and conventional knowledge systems, as applicable from Ayurveda.

Thyroid gland is one of the important glands of the endocrine system and thyroid disorders are the most common disorders amongst the general population worldwide, as well as in india. Hypothyroidism is caused by inadequate function of the thyroid gland called as primary hypothyroidism or by insufficient stimulation by thyroid- stimulating hormones called as secondary hypothyroidism. Current view the thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped gland. It is located inferior to the larynx and anterior to the trachea. It has two lobes connected by the isthmus. It is made of microscopic spherical masses called follicles. A secretary substance is present in the follicle called colloid. Colloid is made of a glycoprotein called as thyroglobulin. Thyroglobulin produces thyroid hormones. They are triiodothyronine (t3), tetraiodothyronine (t4) and calcitonin. Ayurvedic perspective of subclinical hypothyroidism. Management of hypothyroidism with synthetic thyroid hormone derivatives may bring the value of tsh, t3 and t4 to normal range but the daily intake of medicine for lifetime, the known side-effects thereafter and increase in the dosage with time as the disease become chronic, is troublesome for the patients. Also the quality of life of the patients taking medicine regularly for long durations is compromised.

The most prevalent endocrine condition in women is polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos).the clinical presentation of pcos ranges between mild menstrual dysfunction and extreme reproductive and metabolic function disruption. According to modern science, the physiology related to ovulation is controlled by hormones of hypothalamo – pituitary – ovarian axis. This axis is disturbed in pcos. According to ayurveda, patho-physiology involves vitiated doshas i.e. Vata, pitta, kapha and agni – especially dhatwagni. The pathophysiology of pcos is analysed to clarify the precise cause of the disorder in order to prepare therapy for a full cure. Multiple approaches in ayurveda for patho-physiology in polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is evident in conclusion that pcos is an enigma. There is no complete understanding of its fundamental pathophysiology as per modern science. No therapy is a panacea, as therapies have so far been targeted at the symptoms but not at the syndrome itself.

Authors: Kosanam Srinivasarao
Published: August 2021

An efficient, cost effective, rapid reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the determination of Ezetimibe and Simvastatin in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Chromatography was carried out by using X-terra C18, 150 x 4.6mm, 3.5µ or equivalent internal diameter with a mixture of 0.5 mL glacial acetic acid in 2000 mL water as mobile phase A and Acetonitrile as mobile phase B. Analytical method validation parameters such as specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, solution stability and robustness, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) was done. The correlation coefficient was found to be linear for each analyte in the desired concentration range. The average recovery was found with range of 96.7 and 107.7 for Ezetimibe and Simvastatin and their respective impurities respectively. The proposed method is highly sensitive, precise and accurate, which was evident from the LOD value range of minimum 0.135 ppm for Ezetimibe and 0.356 ppm for Lovastatin & Epilovastatin for Simvastatin impurities. Hence the present method can be applied successfully for the quantification of finished dosage form in the combined formulations of Ezetimibe and Simvastatin.

Authors: Patil Samadhan
Published: August 2021

Intestinal obstruction is a common surgical emergency with high mortality and morbidity rates. About 15% of all emergency room visits for acute abdominal pain are due to intestinal obstruction. Acute intestinal obstruction may manifest in a variety of ways, from a relatively normal appearance with only minor abdominal pain and distension to a condition of hypovolemic or septic shock (or both) that necessitates an emergency procedure. In present study we aimed to evaluate surgical management of intestinal obstruction at our tertiary hospital. The current research included patients aged 21 to 80 who had an acute intestinal obstruction that was surgically treated. After initial resuscitation, patients with strong signs and symptoms of acute obstruction were treated with an appropriate surgical procedure. All of the information was recorded in a preformat and analysed using descriptive statistics. 144 patients had surgery for acute intestinal obstruction during the study period. 51 to 60 years old was the most common age group (26 %), followed by 41 to 50 years old (21 %). In a ratio of 2.8:1, male patients were more frequently affected than female patients. Previous abdominal surgery (56 %), diabetes (31 %), smoking (25 %), hypertension (24 %), and bronchial asthma/ COPD (15 %) were all found to be common comorbidities in this research. Postoperative adhesions (47 %), malignancy (15 %), obstructed hernia (11 %), and Koch's abdomen were the most common causes of intestinal obstruction in this report (8 %). Adhesiolysis (47 %), resection and anastomosis (22 %), diversion colostomy (13 %), and hernioplasty were the most common surgical procedures in this study (11 %). The most common post-operative complications were fever (15%) and wound infection (11%) respectively. The post-operative mortality rate was 13%. (9 patients). Complications such as septicaemia, peritonitis, and respiratory infection account for the majority of deaths. Intestinal obstruction is often caused by postoperative adhesions. Early operative procedures, in combination with clinical diagnosis and radiological findings, may enhance the outcome of acute intestinal obstruction.

Published: August 2021

The basic concept of FDT is the incorporation of superdisintegrants, which promotes breakdown of tablet quickly when kept or positioned on the tongue, allowing the drug to be released into the saliva. The rate of absorption is regulated by the solubility of the medication. The faster the dosage form of the medication dissolves in solution, the faster the therapeutic action is absorbed and initiated. In FDT, a medicine or dose form should dissolve or disintegrate in the saliva within 60 seconds. The objective of this research work is to formulate a Pravastatin tablet that disintegrated quickly using natural disintegrants. As a diluent, we employed microcrystalline cellulose. Synthetic superdisintegrant such as crospovidone and croscarmellose sodium were used, they were replaced with natural superdisintegrant. In this study, natural superdisintegrant dehydrated banana powder were used synthetic superdisintegrants viz. croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone. A Natural superdisintegrant was used in this formulation at concentrations of 2, 4, 6 and 8% of total weight of tablet i.e. 4, 8, 12 and 15 mg respectively in 200 mg tablet. According to the data, the tablet formulation containing 6% banana powder (i.e., 12 mg per tablet, formulation code FB4) showed a faster and higher drug release of 97.75% during the in-vitro dissolution investigation.

Neste artigo, temos como objetivo analisar a discursivização, em materialidades publicadas no Twitter, do rompimento do barragem de Brumadinho, utilizando o arcabouço teórico da Análise de Discurso (AD) de filiação pecheuxtiana. Para isso, mobilizamos as noções teóricas de sujeito, memória discursiva, metáfora discursiva e silenciamento, entre outras. O corpus discursivo foi constituído de um tweet do portal G1, um tweet da Mídia NINJA, um tweet d’O Antagonista, um tweet de uma figura pública citada no tweet do Antagonista, além de sete comentários digitais publicados em respostas a estas postagens. Essas publicações foram divididas em dez sequências discursivas e, por se tratarem de materialidades digitais, as análises foram feitas considerando as especificidades deste meio em que circulam. Os resultados mostram que, nas sequências discursivas analisadas, instaura-se uma disputa de narrativas, com efeitos de sentido em tensionamento, funcionando sobre um mesmo acontecimento a partir de posições-sujeito antagônicas e, também, que os gestos de interpretação das mídias jornalísticas afetam os sentidos dos discursos inscritos nas materialidades, seja na grande mídia ou na mídia alternativa.
RECUSA DE INTERAÇÃO E ATOS DE AMEAÇA À FACE: PRESIDENTE JAIR BOLSONARO VERSUS JORNALISTAS
Authors: Capellani Danielle Zuma
Published: August 2021

RESUMO:

Neste artigo científico, observamos as estratégias discursivas nos turnos de fala institucional nas entrevistas televisivas do Presidente Jair Bolsonaro com jornalistas em duas situações comunicativas, no início da pandemia por COVID-19 no Brasil. Descrevemos como os jornalistas insistem, nos turnos de pergunta, por respostas efetivas do Presidente sobre o controle da pandemia no país, mas este, nos turnos de resposta, ameaça a face positiva dos jornalistas e negocia identidades situadas por meio de negação, de quem não é, eximindo-se da responsabilidade de gerir a crise sanitária. Utilizamos os pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos da Análise da Conversa para transcrever os dados e analisar a troca de turnos e a visão da Linguística Interacional para entender a interferência do mandato institucional e do cenário nas ações de negociação de identidades, turno a turno.
RESISTIR É PRECISO?: FEMINISMOS COMO FORMA DE RESISTÊNCIA ÀS OPRESSÕES
Authors: Silva Elen Karla Sousa da , Conte Daniel
Published: August 2021

O presente artigo objetiva refletir sobre a invisibilidade, silenciamento, luta e resistência das mulheres, sobretudo das mulheres negras, visto que há uma urgência de considerarmos a pluralidade do feminismo. Ressalta-se que a interseccionalidade entre as formas de opressão corrobora a luta coletiva das mulheres negras em suas distintas formas de resistir e nos mais variados âmbitos de poder. As mulheres negras questionaram condutas do movimento feminista, introduzindo suas categorias de luta. Em meio a essa trajetória encaram a falta de reconhecimento de seus escritos na academia, o silenciamento, os estereótipos construídos historicamente e o racismo delimitando os espaços sociais da mulher negra. Ao se defrontar com os impactos do epistemicídio, as mulheres negras fortalecem a batalha coletiva e indicam para a premência de se entender as desigualdades de gênero baseado em um todo social. Isto posto, ao revelarmos as contribuições do feminismo negro, nos esbarramos com uma realidade multifacetada, ou seja, uma realidade na qual as categorias como gênero, classe e raça devem estar disponibilizadas de maneira a se associarem para, assim, melhor colaborar para a viabilidade de execução de análises que assegurem abranger com maior exatidão a complexidade que descreve a problemática em questão. Acreditamos que discussões como essa são importantes para refletirmos por que temos que pensar no feminismo negro se o mesmo é uma pauta que abrange todas as mulheres? Precisamos pensar em um processo de socialização de pessoas negras e pessoas brancas e do lugar que essas mulheres vão ocupar não só nas relações sociais, mas também no modo de produção. Além disso, foram consideradas as inúmeras questões que abrangem a escrita de autoria feminina e o trânsito entre o silêncio e a fala. Nessa perspectiva, este artigo reunirá teóricas e estudiosas mais representativas que embasaram a pesquisa, entre elas bell hooks (2018; 2019), Collins (2019), Scott (1992), Hollanda (2019), Kilomba (2019), Perrot (1989; 2005), Ribeiro (2018), entre outras (os).

Neste artigo, visamos a analisar as avaliações comuns subentendidas, ou seja, as regras implícitas do ofício de professor, veiculadas pela voz do métier, identificadas em um texto de instrução ao sósia de uma professora de línguas da educação básica. Seguimos os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Ergonomia da Atividade (FERREIRA, 2008; GUÉRIN et al., 2001; AMIGUES, 2004) e da Clínica da Atividade (FAÏTA, 2004; CLOT, 2007, 2010, 2014, 2017) e pautamos nossas análises em pressupostos da análise do discurso de linha francesa (MAINGUENEAU, 1997a, 1997b, 2011). Como principais resultados, identificamos convicções e maneiras de fazer o trabalho em situações precisas; aspectos práticos e rotineiros que, assim como os considerados como “mais teóricos”, estão diretamente ligados à eficácia na organização de um meio que favoreça a aprendizagem dos alunos e o desenvolvimento de capacidades referentes aos conteúdos específicos. Levar em conta essas avaliações implícitas pode ser uma forma de colocar a experiência docente e a linguagem sobre o trabalho do professor no centro de processos formativos.

Authors: Ferreira Geraldo , Sampaio Maria Cristina Hennes
Published: August 2021

O presente estudo tem, como objetivo, observar, através dos acentos apreciativos expressos nos discursos dos gestores do IFRN, como eles avaliam as normas de trabalho presentes no contexto educacional do IFRN. O corpus do estudo é composto pelos discursos produzidos por dez (10) gestores do IFRN, os quais foram obtidos através de uma entrevista semiestruturada e uma seção de autoconfrontação simples. Os profissionais foram solicitados a descrever a importância e a relação das normas de trabalho com o seu fazer laboral. A pesquisa está fundamentada nos aportes teórico-metodológicos advindos da Teoria dialógica da linguagem e da Ergologia. Os discursos dos gestores educacionais são analisados na perspectiva da Análise Dialógica do Discurso (ADD).
“AQUI, ELES FALA ASSIM”: UMA ANÁLISE SOCIOLINGUÍSTICA DA VARIAÇÃO DA CONCORDÂNCIA VERBAL EM PINHEIRO-MA
Authors: Santos Israel Ferreira , Santos Georgiana Márcia Oliveira
Published: August 2021

Alguns estudos já demonstraram que a variação da concordância verbal de terceira pessoa do plural no português brasileiro ocorre devido à influência tanto de variáveis linguísticas quanto de variáveis extralinguísticas. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as variáveis sociais que influenciam a realização da não concordância verbal de terceira pessoa do plural (doravante NCV3PP) no português falado em Pinheiro, no estado do Maranhão. Seguindo os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Sociolinguística (LABOV, 2008; TARALLO, 2007), pudemos constatar que, em Pinheiro, a variável sexo foi a que se mostrou mais relevante para a realização da NCV3PP.
ATIVIDADES LINGUAGEM NO/PARA O TRABALHO DO AGENTE COMUNITÁRIO DE SAÚDE: DESCREVENDO ALGUMAS PRÁTICAS
Authors: Paz Ana Maria de Oliveira , Silva Carlos Henrique da
Published: August 2021

As pesquisas sobre as atividades de linguagem no âmbito do trabalho têm motivado o interesse da comunidade científica na perspectiva de compreender seus implicações e relevâncias para a vida das pessoas. Não é exagero, portanto, caracterizar a relação entre linguagem e trabalho como “visceral” (DUARTE; FEITOSA, 1998). A partir dessa perspectiva, o presente estudo objetiva descrever as visitas domiciliares e o cadastramento das famílias no Programa Saúde Família (PSF) por de Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) como atividades de linguagem em serviço. Trata-se de pesquisa de campo, de caráter qualitativo na medida em que resulta da interação entre pesquisador e colaboradores (STAKE, 2011), por meio da utilização de técnicas do “perguntar e do registrar” (ERICKSON, 1986, p. 56), com vistas a depreender melhor as práticas de linguagem utilizadas pelos participantes colaboradores. As descrições revelam que as referidas práticas implementadas pelos ACS constituem práticas linguageiras que atendem ao cumprimento dos objetivos estabelecidos pelo PSF no tocante à assistência básica de saúde. A pesquisa também lança luz sobre estudos realizados no âmbito das atividades laborais, mais especificamente naquelas situadas na esfera das políticas públicas em saúde a fim de contribuir para inserção de questões dessa área no âmbito das discussões acadêmicas, cujos reflexos podem implicar, direta ou indiretamente, em mudanças de pensamentos e posicionamentos, de modo a gerar possíveis transformações sociais.

FRANCISCO BRENNAND E JOÃO CABRAL: O INFINITO ATRAVÉS DO FINITO
Authors: Gomes Rafaela de Abreu
Published: August 2021

Apresentamos, a partir desta reflexão, um diálogo possível entre um artista, com trabalho voltado, sobretudo, para moldagem de esculturas, e um poeta, os dois pernambucanos. Trata-se de Francisco Brennand (1927 – 2019) e de João Cabral de Melo Neto (1920 – 1999), respectivamente. A partir de comentários de Brennand, acerca de sua prática criativa, e da leitura do poema “O ceramista” (In: Agrestes, 1985), de João Cabral, verificamos que a curiosidade e a vontade de compreender o que consideramos “misterioso” constituem motivos recorrentes para os procedimentos do artesão e do poeta. O primeiro, com suas esculturas em cerâmica; o segundo, desde realizações linguísticas.
RÉFLEXION SUR UN SYSTÈME GÉNÉRATIVE-TRANSFORMATIONNEL DU COMPORTEMENT POUR LA COMPETENCE PRAGMATIQUE DU CECR
Authors: Kohwer Rudy , Da Silva Edvania Gomes
Published: August 2021

Nous confions initialement notre objectif à la psychologie mentaliste. Ceci pour le regard critique que Chomsky (1969) apporte sur les idées de la psychologie comportementaliste, vue par Skinner (1957). Si la philosophie moniste de ce dernier conçoit l’organisation de l’environnement comme cause de la modification du comportement, nous apportons notre propre définition des actes de parole, afin d’étudier l’autre tenant scientifique de ladite modification, ou l’objet suivant : L’agir  par un état de conscience mêlant les expériences déjà vécues à l’expérience nouvelle du présent. Les deux nouvelles dimensions du CECR (2000), et notamment l’approche novatrice dite actionnelle sous-tendue par la compétence pragmatique, laquelle fonde le socle théorico-méthodologique de cette recherche, enveloppe notre contexte pédagogico-didactique, un manuel didactique comme corpus de référence. En conséquence, la méthode pragmatique et la théorie génétique de la vérité, conçue par James (1911 ; 1913), et ce, par le renforcement de la doctrine physique de Bacon (1851) et celle intellectualiste de Bergson (1965), ou les progrès qu’il apporte en matière de conséquence sur la mémoire, vérifient l’étude de notre objet, en termes reformulés, l’action de l’organisme en contexte naturel et pédagogique pour l’apprentissage du français comme langue étrangère. Nos considérations sont d’ordre prospective en le sens que, cette réflexion, pour un système générativo-transformationnel du comportement verbal, s’inscrit dans l’actualité et pour l’évolution d’un tel enseignement en matière de psychologie.
