Published: May 2024

A Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) está entre as doenças cardiovasculares de maior prevalência, exigindo medidas de controle de baixo custo e eficazes que se adequem à realidade brasileira como o Monitoramento Residencial de Pressão Arterial (MRPA). A partir deste contexto este estudo transversal foi realizado com uma amostra de 50 pacientes com idade média de 66,7 anos (±8,2 anos). Foram utilizados questionários com questões dados pessoais (data de nascimento, sexo e nível de escolaridade); sobre a adesão a terapia não farmacológica (prática de atividade física, dieta de diminuição sódio e ausência de tabagismo), e preenchimento da tabela do MRPA por 5 dias. Na análise estatística utilizou-se o teste do Qui-quadrado, o teste exato de Fisher e a regressão linear múltipla para examinar os níveis de HAS com as variáveis do estudo. Os resultados mostraram que os idosos classificados como analfabetos ou ensino fundamental incompleto relataram dificuldade na mensuração do MRPA. A terapia não farmacológica explicou 10,3% da variabilidade da HAS aferida pelos pacientes, sendo que somente os pacientes que nunca fizeram uso de tabaco apresentaram predição positiva de 15,2 vezes menos chance de alteração na HAS. Conclui-se que ocorreu uma baixa adesão dos pacientes idosos a terapia não-farmacológica, sendo que os pacientes não fumantes e com melhores níveis de escolaridade apresentaram melhores níveis de hipertensão arterial sistêmica, assim a terapia não farmacológica explicou 10,3% da variabilidade da hipertensão entre os idosos.

The ability to design Small-sided games (SSGs) by manipulating the game allows coaches to align the games with players' specific needs, thereby fostering adaptations in their behavior as they engage with the challenges presented in the drills. Given the increasing volume of original research on SSGs in basketball, this systematic review aims to synthesize acute technical and tactical responses observed in players of both genders, irrespective of their competitive level. A systematic review was performed based on PRISMA recommendations in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science database. The eligibility criteria included basketball players who had participated in SSGs, without the necessity for a comparator group. Outcomes focused on observed and recorded technical actions (such as passes and shots) and/or tactical behaviors (individual or collective). Data synthesis comprised compiling the observed technical and tactical outcomes, along with the main findings of the studies. An initial database search returned 1,758 studies. After the study selection process, 41 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis, comprising 922 participants of both sexes that ranged from beginners to professional players. The analyzed SSGs ranged from 1 vs. 1 to 5 vs. 5 game formats. Findings suggested that SSGs with fewer players demonstrated positive effects on technical performance and increased action frequency, while also fostering tactical behavior and decision-making. Moreover, research indicated that SSGs incorporating restrictions on dribbling actions led to a higher occurrence of passing actions.
Keywords: basketball training; sports pedagogy; conditioned games; small-sided games; technical performance; tactical behavior.

Published: May 2024

The objective of this study was to find an another surgical way than Bentall procedure to treat the aneurysms of ascending aorta involving the sinuses of valsalvas. From September 2008 to May 2018, eighty five patients underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) associated with a Valsalva plasty, with or without the replacement of the ascending aorta. All the procedures were performed by a single surgeon (Remadi’s technique) at Amiens Universitary Hospital in France. There was no operative death. During the follow-up at ten years, the diameters of the Sinuses of Valsalva remain steady, without long term post-operative aneurysm or reoperation for any aortic complication. This original new technic, can be applied safety for almost all ascending aorta aneurysms involving valsalvas (more than 90% of cases) instead of the bentall procedure. This new technic is safe with excellent immediate and mid- term results. The Remadi’s technic is particularly adapted for the older patients or patients with associated comorbidity in order to reduce the operative risk. The Bentall’technic should be performed only when the ascending aorta has a shape like a « chianti bottle with very important dilatation of sinuses of valsalvas, when its the only procedure adapted for those remaining indications.

Published: May 2024

PANI is a nanostructure conductive polymer that has been widely researched by making nanofibers using electrospinning, by adding PVA as a non-conductive material. In this research, we have successfully synthesized PVA/PANI nanofiber using the electrospinning method and applied it as a humidity sensor. The oxidation polymerization method was conducted to produce polyaniline (PANI) powder. PVA was used as a non-conductive polymer to carry PANI. PANI is blended with 10 % PVA to produce nanofiber PVA/PANI. The results of the synthesis of PVA/PANI nanofibers using the electrospinning method have been characterized by FTIR and EDX to identify the functional groups and elements of PVA/PANI. The FTIR results confirmed that for the PVA nanofiber samples, the type of polyvinyl alcohol bond has been identified according to the reference. The EDX results show the elements C, O and N. The element nitrogen (N) is the characteristic element of polyaniline (C6H5(NH)2)n. The optical Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope show that the electrospinning method has succeeded in synthesizing PVA/PANI nanofibers with a fiber size of around 0.313 mm. The porosity of PVA/PANI is around 55 %, which is related to the ability of PVA/PANI sensitivity to detect humidity. These results are demonstrated by measurements using a Four-Point Probe (FPP), with the humidity value varying from 64 - 80 %. The results show that variations of PANI powder content improve the sensitivity performance of PVA/PANI nanofibers. This method can optimize PVA/PANI nanofiber as a humidity sensor, increase conductivity flexibility, make it easier and enhance the PANI to use as an active sensor.
HIGHLIGHTS

The active material for the sensor is polyaniline-based.
Polyaniline oxidation polymerization using a method with solid acid doping, which can increase the conductivity of polyaniline (PANI).
The formation of PANI nanofibers increases the sensing activities’ effectiveness.
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is used as a carrier to facilitate the synthesis process by electrospinning.

Authors: Theamdee Pawinee , Walmuntri Nattharikar
Published: May 2024

The objective of this research was to study the production of coating films with sweet potato starch (SPS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) from water hyacinth and to study the effect of the coating on the storage life extension of mangoes. The coating film was prepared by dissolving sweet potato starch in water at a concentration of 5 % w/v and adding CMC from water hyacinth at 5 different concentrations: 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 % based on the weight of the starch. Glycerol was added as a plasticizer at 20 % of the weight of the starch solution. The mixture was then dried at 65 °C for 18 h. The study found that the thickness of the film decreased with higher concentrations of CMC from water hyacinth. The water activity (aw) ranged from 0.35 to 0.42, and the solubility and water vapor permeability of the film decreased with increasing CMC concentration. In the degradation study, it was observed that the films could biodegrade from 42 to 100 % for 8 weeks, with degradation rates decreasing as the amount of CMC from water hyacinth increased. Coating Mango with 10 % w/w CMC helped delay weight loss, skin color changes, and extended the shelf life of mango for up to 18 days at room temperature (28 ± 2 °C, 65 ± 2 % RH), compared to the control group with a shelf life of 12 days. These results indicate that films made from SPS/CMC from water hyacinth, with glycerol as the plasticizer, can effectively be used for preserving fruits and creating biodegradable films.
HIGHLIGHTS

The coating film of sweet potato starch (SPS) and Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) from Water Hyacinth was prepared
The effect of adding different CMC concentrations in SPS films was investigated
This coating film is cost-effective and biodegradable
The coating film of SPS and CMC from water hyacinth enhances the shelf-life of perishable fruit

Published: May 2024

La tasa de movilidad independiente infantil ha sufrido un descenso significativo durante las últimas décadas. Esta situación ha provocado que la infancia tenga más dificultades a la hora de explorar, jugar o caminar de forma autónoma por las calles de sus barrios y ciudades. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo conocer las razones que impulsan o dificultan que los niños y niñas puedan tener experiencias de autonomía como en este caso a través del trayecto escolar sin una figura adulta y ver, así como es su percepción sobre el entorno, como influye la decisión parental y conocer cómo son sus propias capacidades personales. En el estudio han participado un total de 1.002 niños y niñas de entre 8 y 16 años de varios municipios de Bizkaia (norte de España). Las respuestas han sido recogidas mediante preguntas abiertas y analizadas mediante el software Iramuteq. Se han realizado tres tipos de análisis, el método Reinert, el análisis de similitudes léxicas y análisis de espeficidades. Los resultados muestran que los y las menores que obtienen el permiso de sus familias para realizar el trayecto escolar de manera autónoma, tienen una mayor percepción de seguridad sobre su entorno. Por el contrario, aquellos que van acompañados a la escuela, perciben sus calles como más inseguras y repiten más frecuentemente las dificultades que puede conllevar la realización del camino de forma independiente. Finalmente, se ha observado que los niños y niñas con mayores tasas de movilidad independiente se perciben con mayor madurez y mejores capacidades para moverse por su entorno.

Authors: MAĞAT Güldane
Published: May 2024

Aim: Age determination is a very important issue in anthropology, forensic science, and dentistry. Today, the most commonly used methods for age determination are the methods in which tooth and bone development are evaluated. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between gender, chronological age, dental maturation, and cervical vertebral maturation in individuals aged 8-25 years.
Material and Method: Digital panoramic, lateral cephalometric radiographs of 500 patients aged 8-25 years were used in this study. Cervical vertebra maturation was evaluated using the dental maturation-modified Demirjian classification system of Baccetti et al. Means, minimum, maximum, and standard deviations were calculated and analyzed as descriptive statistics. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kappa, Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-Square, Linear Regression, and Spearman Correlation tests were used for statistical analysis.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between chronological age and dental maturation and cervical vertebral maturation levels (p <0.01). While dental maturation levels did not differ significantly according to gender (p> 0.05), cervical vertebra maturation was statistically different (p <0.01). There was a positive correlation between chronological age and dental maturation, and cervical vertebral maturation levels (p <0.01). There was a strong correlation between dental maturation and cervical vertebral maturation levels (p <0.01).
Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that skeletal maturity increased with the increase in chronological and dental age for both genders. The earlier formation was consistently observed for each stage of skeletal maturation in females. All correlations between skeletal and dental maturations were statistically significant.
Latency and Residual Energy Analysis of MIMO Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Mishra Saurabh , Ranjan Rakesh , Singh Sonika , Singh Gagan
Published: May 2024

Energy-constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have garnered significant research interest in recent years. Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO), or Cooperative MIMO, represents a specialized application of MIMO technology within WSNs. This approach operates effectively, especially in challenging and resource-constrained environments. By facilitating collaboration among sensor nodes, Cooperative MIMO enhances reliability, coverage, and energy efficiency in WSN deployments. Consequently, MIMO finds application in diverse WSN scenarios, spanning environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and healthcare applications. This research paper presents a comparative performance analysis of MIMO wireless sensor networks and traditional wireless sensor networks without MIMO using Network Simulator NS2.35 for analysis of End to End Delay for packet transmission and Residual energy of nodes. The research work shows application of MIMO in Wireless Sensor Networks with considerable improvements in Quality of Service parameters which is achieved through Spatial Multiplexing and Diversity Gain. MIMO enables multiple spatial streams, allowing several data streams to be transmitted simultaneously on the same channel. This increases the overall throughput as multiple sensors can transmit their data concurrently without interference. MIMO systems also provide diversity gain by transmitting multiple copies of the same data over different antennas which helps in mitigating the effects of fading and interference, resulting in a more reliable and higher-throughput communication link as compared to a SISO channel. Another advantage of employing MIMO in WSN is reduction in End-to-End delays in data transmission. Last but not the least, MIMO can be configured to optimize the power consumption of individual sensors by adjusting the number of antennas used and transmission power levels based on channel conditions. Hence, MIMO can help to extend the network's lifetime by conserving energy in resource-constrained sensor nodes by preservation of Residual Energy.
Rural Women’s Response to Climate Change: An Exploratory Study of Women’s Grassroot Network in Odisha
Authors: Dhal Sunita
Published: May 2024

The emergence of Feminist Political Ecological (FPE) position allows to rethink about social institutions like Self Help Groups (SHGs) as foundations for building green movements through everyday practice. The collective voice that has helped them emerge economically self-sufficient is reflected in their decision making, when the larger cause of climate change or environmental decision-making are involved. It is time that their actions permeating the ecology and environment gains credence and such coalitions provide ground as movements for achieving the larger collective agenda.
 
Idea of SHGs as social capital helped the marginalized women create different ‘gendered subjectivities’ and endowed them with a collective voice, be it conservation of their own ecological settings or confronting the social system. The case of Climate Credit Pilot Project and/or conservation of indigenous seed varieties in remote villages of Odisha bear testimony to women’s consciousness regarding climate mitigation initiatives and the meaningful actions associated with environmental justice. Such interventions show that the embedment of economic, social and cultural values of SHG groups align with their instinct for attaining a larger goal of environment protection through household and community level actions.
 
The gendered subjectivities including increased social consciousness among women, better access to new information, up-skilling has made them better and enlightened decision makers. The practice of joint or consensual action by SHG collectives enable them to address multi-scalar issues like climate change. However, the broader agenda of social and economic empowerment has to align with their decision making power relating to their immediate ecology and environment. In this context, the proposed study will probe emerging social consciousness of women on climate change issues, while examining their larger environmental responsibility in local situation, wherein the women remain at the receiving end. This is a field-based exploratory study of women from subsistence and indigenous communities of three districts in Odisha which interrogates the role of SHGs in creating a social space for women to engage with the question of environmental decision making. The study intends to analyse the field data in relation to environmental rights, responsibilities and knowledge of rural and Adivasi women within the institution of SHGs. It aims to formulate the concept, i.e., can SHGs be seen as co-linear spaces which needs to be strengthened as bearers of green movements at the local level as a response to the climate crisis.

Phosphorus is considered the most limiting essential macronutrient for plant production in soils of tropical climates. As the chemical and physical properties of the soil influence the availability of P to crops, the use of suitable extractants can increase the precision of the results obtained in soil analysis to enable the maximization of the efficiency of using phosphate fertilizers in agriculture. With this, the objective was to evaluate the capacity of the Mehlich-1 (M1) and Mehlich-3 (M3) extractors to determine the extractable P content in the soil in agricultural areas fertilized with liquid swine manure. The sampled sites were under the sandy loam (Sl) and sandy (S) textural class and were separated into four plots (repetitions) of 15 hectares each, where soil samples were collected in three depths 0.00-0.05; 0.05-0.10; and 0.10-0.20 m. For a depth of 0.20 m, the average levels of extractable P found in the evaluated textural classes were 34.83 (Sl) and 12.56 mg·dm-3 (S) for extractor M1; and 2.91 (Sl) and 0.81 mg·dm-3 (S) for extractor M3. It is clear that, although the Mehlich-1 solution has a greater capacity to extract the P content than the Mehlich-3 solution, both extractants can be used to extract the P content in sandy loam/sandy soils fertilized with liquid swine manure in the Cerrado region of Mato Grosso (Brazil).

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la calidad de la fruta de piña en consorcio con frijol caupí y yuca. El experimento se llevó a cabo en el estado de Roraima, Brasil, con el cultivo de piña (cv. Pérola), individual y en consorcio con frijol caupí y yuca, en diferentes espaciamientos para la yuca (0,40; 0,60; 0,80; 1,00; 1,20 m) con 14 tratamientos. El diseño experimental utilizado fue el de bloques completamente al azar con tres repeticiones. Los cultivos se plantaron simultáneamente. La piña, como cultivo principal, se cosechó a los 17 meses y se evaluaron las siguientes características: diámetro promedio del fruto, longitud del fruto sin corona, longitud de la corona, contenido de sólidos solubles, firmeza del fruto sin cáscara y peso promedio del fruto comercial. Para los otros cultivos, se evaluó el rendimiento (productividad) para determinar la eficiencia de uso de la tierra. El contenido de sólidos solubles en los frutos no se vio afectado por el consorcio, y mostró un promedio de 13,35° Brix. Sin embargo, las características físicas se vieron negativamente afectadas en las densidades más altas de yuca, que ocasionaron frutos con menor diámetro y longitud, lo que se reflejó directamente en su productividad. La productividad del frijol caupí no disminuyó por el consorcio, al igual que la productividad de la yuca, que solo se vio reducida por la menor densidad de plantas.

La investigación tuvo por objetivo evaluar el efecto de hongos micorrízicos arbusculares (HMA) autóctonos y abonos orgánicos en el comportamiento vegetativo de la quina (C. officinalis) en invernadero. Se utilizó un diseño con arreglo factorial 4A x 3B (A: hongo micorrízico; B: abonos orgánicos), lo que resultó en un total de 12 tratamientos. Los HMA fueron colectados en los distritos Leymebamba, San Jerónimo y Conila, en la región Amazonas y fueron multiplicados en vivero con cultivos trampa de maíz durante 80 días. Simultáneamente, se llevó a cabo la germinación de semillas de quina por un periodo de 60 días. Las plántulas fueron trasplantadas e inoculadas con 40 g de HMA y 40 g de abono orgánico en contenedores de 1 L. El consorcio LEY-GALL produjo la mayor respuesta por planta en la altura (11,53 cm) y materia seca radicular (79,93 mg), el LEY-HUM mayor en número (45) y longitud de raíces (18,68 cm), y en materia seca radicular (75,83 mg), el SJ-HUM mayor en materia seca foliar (317,8 g), y el SJ-GALL mayor en área foliar (85,83 cm2), todos con superioridad estadística sobre el resto, o la mayoría de consorcios. Las plantas con el consorcio SMA-SA (sin micorriza y sin abono) presentaron los menores valores en todas las variables. Se concluye que la combinación de HMA con abonos orgánicos favorece el crecimiento vegetativo de la quina en invernadero.

The aims of this study were to analyse the effect of diets containing tamarind seed and cassava meal in mash and pellet form with enzyme supplementation on broiler performance. The experiment method used a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design and compared the effects of diets (cassava meal vs Tamarindus indica), feed processing (pelleted vs. mash), and enzyme addition (with or without enzymes) on broiler performance. 240 broiler chicks were allocated to 8 treatments with 6 replicates of 5 chicks/replicate. The results show that a diet containing cassava meal in pellet form with xylanase significantly (P<0,05) improved the growth of the broiler in comparison to a diet formulation containing tamarind seed meal. A diet containing tamarind seed meal gave significantly (P<0,05) lower abdominal fat than cassava meal. In conclusion, in this study diets containing cassava meal gave the best results for broiler growth, and diets containing tamarind seed improved the abdominal fat of broiler chickens.
