Os caminhos para a Natureza Barata: a expansão da fronteira da soja no Brasil
Authors: Tixiliski Giacomo Otavio , Huwe de Paoli Paola
Published: December 2024

This article investigates the expansion of the soybean frontier in Brazil and its production of cheap nature within capitalist world-ecology. This is done via the world-ecology perspective, which identifies capital society as a system for exploiting and appropriating nature. A deductive method was used, along with literature review and qualitative analysis. The article is structured into three main sections: the first presents the production of cheap nature from the world-ecology perspective, the second observes the expansion of the soybean frontier in Brazil as a flow space, and the third analyzes the relevance of infrastructure projects for the construction of space as a place. The main finding is that cheap nature is produced within the contradiction of the expansion-establishment of the soybean frontier: in other words, the pathways created by infrastructure projects establish the border as a place and expand it as a flow, in a process fueled by violence and ecological degradation. This initial contribution needs to be refined with research into other infrastructure projects to understand its explanatory limitations.

Published: December 2024

Dermal substitutes (DS) have been widely used in wound repair, but the survival rate of skin grafts with a DS remains an important challenge in regenerative medicine. In this study, we used porcine dermis-derived decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) to construct an optimized 3D-printed DS, which exhibited the desired structure, good mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. Meanwhile, we constructed prevascularized human mesenchymal stem cell sheets (PHCS) with a certain microstructure, which could enhance microvessel formation and maturation and upregulate the expression of angiogenic growth factors. An immune competent one-stage skin graft model in vivo demonstrated that the P-DS group (PHCS + DS + STSG) could improve the repair effect of skin grafts, reduce graft fibrosis and later scar formation, increase the blood perfusion of skin grafts, through the early angiogenesis and the rapid microvessel maturation.  This study aims to investigate the efficacy of combining PHCS with DS in improving full-thickness wound healing.

Authors: - Winsome Kumar , - Anu Agrawal , - Vandana Malik , - Ratika Gupta , - Navaudhayam Ranganatha
Published: December 2024

Background:
Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) of the liver is an exceptionally rare and aggressive malignancy. It is classified as a high-grade poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumor, characterized by rapid disease progression, late-stage diagnosis, and poor prognosis. Due to its rarity, SCNEC presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, distinguishing it from more common hepatic tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Case Presentation:
We present the case of a 47-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with right-sided abdominal pain, progressive swelling, significant weight loss, and anorexia. Imaging studies revealed a large hepatic mass with evidence of metastatic disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of primary SCNEC of the liver, stage cT3 cN1 cM1. The patient was treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin and etoposide), along with supportive care.

Discussion:
SCNEC of the liver exhibits distinct pathophysiological features, including high mitotic activity and genetic abnormalities such as TP53 and RB1 mutations. Accurate diagnosis relies on histopathology and immunohistochemical markers like synaptophysin and chromogranin A. Management involves a multidisciplinary approach, with systemic chemotherapy as the cornerstone of treatment. Surgical resection and liver-directed therapies may be feasible in select cases. Emerging therapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted treatments, offer potential but require further clinical validation.

Conclusion:
SCNEC of the liver is a rare and aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Early detection, molecular profiling, and personalized treatment strategies are critical for improving outcomes. This case contributes to the limited literature, emphasizing the importance of a collaborative approach and the need for further research to optimize management and survival.
An Enhancement of the Gaussian Naive Bayes Algorithm Applied to Air Quality Classification
Authors: - Merlinda C. Binalla , - Maisie Allena F. Villanueva
Published: December 2024

The Gaussian Naive Bayes Algorithm is a machine learning technique based upon the Bayes Theorem. It is commonly used for classification tasks to calculate the likelihood of events. This study developed an enhanced GNB algorithm to classify the air quality in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. The enhancement made in this study sought to increase the classification performance of the traditional GNB against zero frequency issues. The zero-frequency problem is an inherent limitation of the conventional GNB due to the algorithm’s reliance on multiplying probabilities. It occurs when a feature value is absent from the training data. The Parzen-Rosenblatt Window method was applied to address the issue and increase the algorithm’s stability against the problem. OpenWeather-AQI and USA-AQI datasets were used to evaluate the algorithm. The algorithm's accuracy improved from 71.77% to 74.16% (2.39%) in the OpenWeather-AQI dataset. In comparison, the other dataset showed a 5.26% improvement, increasing from 59.33% to 64.59%. These results showcase how the enhanced GNB algorithm outperforms the traditional one. Thus, the Enhanced GNB Algorithm effectively addresses the zero-frequency problem, increasing classification accuracy and demonstrating its potential as a reliable method for assessing air quality.

THEORETICAL STUDIES OF THE PROCESS OF MACHINE MILKING OF COWS WITH AN APPARATUS WITH MILKING RUBBER VARIABLE THICKNESS
Authors: HRYTSUN Anatolii , ZOZULYAK Igor , BORYS Mykola , MARTYNYUK Andrii
Published: December 2024

Over the last decade, the conditions of dairy farming have undergone significant changes. A decrease in the number of livestock and the production of dairy products was allowed. Despite measures taken at the state level, the number of dairy cattle is decreasing. The decrease in the volume of milk production is sharply reflected in the level of consumption of dairy food products.
At the current stage of the country's economic development, in order for domestic dairy farming to be profitable, competitive and ensure food independence, it must be highly productive. For this purpose, it is necessary to speed up the introduction of advanced milk production technologies into dairy farming based on the creation and use of competitive domestic equipment.
Despite the large number of known technical solutions, the task of creating a design of a milking machine that combines high productivity and stimulation of the reflex action on the animal remains relevant. Designs of milking equipment are currently being improved mainly in two directions:
- development of milking machines that provide regulation of working parameters depending on the level of milk yield;
- development of designs of mechanisms of milking machines that stimulate the milking reflex without causing negative effects to the animal.
During manual milking and sucking of a cow, the udder is vigorously massaged by the calves, while with machine milking, such a massage is often absent. Milking under high vacuum often leads to negative effects on cows' udders. After analyzing the designs of existing milking machines, we chose the direction of research with the development of milking rubber of variable cross-section for them. The efficiency of machine milking of cows is affected by the technical parameters of the process, the genetic parameters of the udder and milk yield, and the peculiarities of the organization of the process. As a result of the research, a new type of milking rubber is proposed for the most widely used devices of double action. This will reduce the vacuum load on the cow's udder and the shock effect of the rubber on the teat during machine milking of cows.
Achieving the set goal will improve the biotechnical process of machine milking of cows.

Published: December 2024

TiO2-ZSM-5/ceramic fiber composite was successfully prepared for the first time by impregnation and applied to remove toluene in the atmosphere and RhB in wastewater. Optional values for TiO2 loading and calcination temperature were discussed. The composites were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-vis and N2 adsorption-desorption. The results showed that TiO2 loading amount affects the crystal formation, distribution, pore size and adsorption capacity for pollutants, which in turn determines the adsorption performance and photocatalytic activity of the composite. Composites calcined at 550 ℃ with 12.7 wt. % TiO2 loading can degrade toluene and RhB most effectively, with the maximum degradation rates of 39.99% and 92.70%, respectively. In addition, materials have been proven to have high degradation stability being recycled 4 times. The TiO2-ZSM-5/ceramic fiber prepared in this study can degrade atmospheric and industrial wastewater pollutants. Therefore, TiO2-ZSM-5/ceramic fiber has high comprehensive practical value in the field of environmental pollutant removal.
The Rising Incidence of Atypical Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis in Children: A Meta-Analysis and Implications for Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Ni Luh Ayudimartini
Published: December 2024

Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) is a common cause of acute nephritis in children. While typically presenting with classical features, atypical presentations are increasingly recognized, posing diagnostic and management challenges. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the rising incidence of atypical PSGN in children and explore its implications for clinical practice. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library was conducted for studies published between 2013 and 2024 reporting on atypical PSGN in children. Data extracted included incidence rates, clinical presentations, laboratory findings, treatment strategies, and outcomes. A random-effects model was used to pool data and assess heterogeneity. Six studies (n=1248 children with PSGN) were included. The pooled prevalence of atypical PSGN was 28.7% (95% CI: 25.9-31.6%; I2= 68%). Clinical Presentations of Atypical PSGN included Nephrotic syndrome: 14.4% (95% CI: 12.2-16.8%), Isolated hematuria: 10.5% (95% CI: 8.8-12.4%), Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN): 4.2% (95% CI: 3.2-5.5%), Acute kidney injury (AKI): 8.7% (95% CI: 7.1-10.4%). Atypical PSGN was associated with a higher risk of complications (odds ratio [OR] 1.8, 95% CI: 1.3-2.5) and a longer duration of hospitalization (mean difference 2.7 days, 95% CI: 2-3.4). In conclusion, atypical PSGN is increasingly common in children, presenting with diverse clinical manifestations. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for atypical presentations to ensure prompt diagnosis and appropriate management. Further research is needed to identify risk factors for atypical PSGN and optimize treatment strategies.

Published: December 2024

El intestino delgado representa la segunda localización más frecuente de los linfomas no Hodgkin extranodales. Sus manifestaciones clínicas iniciales poco específicas y un pronóstico infausto en ausencia de tratamiento resaltan la importancia de un diagnóstico precoz. La presencia de úlceras hemorrágicas, obstrucción y perforación visceral no resultan excepcionales en los linfomas de alto grado como el linfoma difuso de células grandes B. Una alta sospecha clínica en un apropiado diagnóstico diferencial con respecto a otras alteraciones tumorales y funcionales podría resultar relevante para identificar la enfermedad antes de que se produzcan complicaciones.

Una cirugía de emergencia es prioritaria en presencia de formas clínicas complicadas y la administración precoz de una terapia combinada de citostáticos continua siendo el pilar fundamental de su tratamiento, con independencia de la resección, al asociarse con una alta tasa de curación de la enfermedad a pesar de incrementar el riesgo de mortalidad por complicaciones postoperatorias si se requiere cirugía. La extirpación quirúrgica en connivencia con la quimioterapia parece tener un efecto más positivo en la tasa de supervivencia global y supervivencia libre de enfermedad para esta variante tumoral cuando se añade una linfadenectomía.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente intervenido de urgencia por un linfoma B difuso de célula grande agresivo y perforado con afectación supra- e infradiafragmática. Exponemos una serie de directrices clínicas de esta enfermedad hematológica en concordancia con otras lesiones malignas del intestino delgado así como la tendencia de tratamiento actual.

A Review on Mitigating Disruptions and Improving Resilience in Supply Chain Logistics
Authors: Al-Qasimi Mansoor , Khudari Mohamed , Al Balushi Zainab
Published: December 2024

Businesses need resilience in supply chain logistics to efficiently manage and minimize disruptions and maintain a smooth flow of goods and services. The present study aims to examine the elements influencing supply chain resilience to enhance overall supply chain performance. A thorough literature assessment served as the foundation for the study's methodology. Two methods were employed to examine the body of knowledge on supply chain resilience: first, databases and journals were searched using specific keywords; second, the publications' references were followed to find the literature that the databases and journals had not been able to locate. When building the sample for this analysis, only publications released after 2002 were included. This strategy provided 150 high-quality research articles that served as the basis for the literature evaluation reported in this study. The research article's conclusions state that manufacturers or businesses need to consider both internal and external factors when identifying and analyzing potential supply chain interruptions. To handle hazards that have been discovered, develop a comprehensive risk management plan and rank hazards according to likelihood and possible consequences. This information could prove vital for managers and supply chain experts in manufacturing companies with useful information that helps them improve the robustness of their supply networks. Moreover, because this study highlights the connection between supply chain resilience and an organization's overall performance, it occupies a significant position in the literature. The findings suggest that a company's reputation among supply chain partners and consumers is negatively impacted by frequent interruptions to business. This finding is consistent with the crisis literature, as stated by Coombs, which shows that a firm's reputation suffers more when it bears a larger portion of the blame for a crisis. The study emphasizes strategies for supply chain resilience, including diversifying suppliers, implementing robust risk management, enhancing transparency, investing in advanced technologies, fostering collaboration, and ensuring agility and flexibility in unforeseen disruptions.
Past, present and future of an alien fungus Clathrus archeri in Croatia
Authors: Jelaska Sven D. , Levačić Damjana
Published: December 2024

Clathrus archeri (Berk.) Dring, an alien saprotrophic fungus originating from Australia and New Zealand has been present in Europe for over 100 years. From its first observation in 1920 in France, it has spread all over Europe, and is among the better surveyed alien saprotrophic fungi with respect to its spread and distribution. Despite this, data about C. archeri in Croatia in the scientific literature are very scarce. To fill the current gap on the presence and distribution of C. archeri in Croatia, we collected reliable available data on its presence, analysed several environmental factors (climate, soil acidity, topography) on those localities, and developed habitat suitability models using Maxent software. We found out that the fungus has been present in Croatia for over 20 years, so we synthesized information on 25 observations, which were all but one placed in the Continental NATURA 2000 biogeographical region of the country. Localities were situated between 104 and 532 m. a.s.l., with mean annual temperatures ranging from 8.1 to 10.9 °C, and annual precipitation ranging between 815 and 1620 mm. On all localities acid soil reactions were present with pH values below 6.8. Although the current number of observations is moderate, in terms of its spatial distribution we can consider C. archeri a widespread alien fungus in Croatia. Based on the habitat suitability models developed here, and data about its ecology from the literature, we can expect more and spatially broader observations of C. archeri in the future.

Representation is a pivotal concept in civil law, serving as a mechanism through which individuals can exert their legal rights and obligations indirectly through authorized agents. This article explores the definition and features of representation, highlighting its significance in various legal contexts, such as contracts, inheritance, and corporate governance. We analyze the implications of representation for both principals and agents, discussing issues of authority, accountability, and the necessity of consent. Additionally, the impact of technological advancements, such as digital representation, is examined. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for clear regulatory frameworks to ensure that representation remains a robust and reliable legal institution.

The use of red dragon fruit as a natural dye has the potential to be developed as a source of antioxidants. This research aimed to determine the effect of the ratio of red dragon fruit on the chemical, physical and organoleptic properties of steamed sponge cake. This research used a randomized block design (RAK), with one factor: adding red dragon fruit, which consisted of 5 treatments. Each treatment was subjected to chemical testing (water content, ash, fat, protein, carbohydrate and antioxidant activity) and physical and organoleptic tests. The test data were analyzed using the ANOVA statistical test. If there were differences, a follow-up test was conducted with DMRT with a significance level (α=0.05%). Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that The addition of red dragon fruit has a significant effect on increasing water content, ash, and antioxidant activity, but has no effect on fat, protein and carbohydrate levels. Dragon fruit steamed sponge cake that is acceptable/preferred (3.76) is a steamed sponge cake with a red dragon fruit ratio of 36 g, pink colour (3.36), very soft texture (4.2), no dragon fruit taste (4 .0), no dragon fruit aroma (4.1), water content 7.78%, ash content 7.39% db, fat content 3.15% db, protein content 10.32% db, carbohydrate content 78, 45 5 db, and antioxidant activity levels of 19.39%.

Desatando el nudo gordiano de la publicación científica: reflexiones sobre el papel actual de nuestras revistas de Geografía
Authors: Silveira María Laura
Published: December 2024

Por ocasión del aniversario de la Revista Estudios Socioterritoriales, reflexionamos sobre el surgimiento de las revistas científicas en la historia de la Geografía y su papel en la visibilidad de diferentes debates centrales de la disciplina. En el periodo actual, a partir de las condiciones técnicas y organizacionales de la globalización, se ha vuelto posible la creación de revistas y la difusión de artículos desde cada punto del planeta. Por lo tanto, la visibilidad de las investigaciones hechas en los lugares aumenta exponencialmente. Sin embargo, el grado de concentración de las empresas editoriales y el dominio de la lengua inglesa fueron provocando una fuerza contraria a la tendencia a la divulgación global, incluyendo sistemas de pagos para leer y publicar. Finalmente, mencionamos algunas acciones que se están llevando a cabo para fortalecer las revistas de acceso libre, las cuales pueden promover la investigación y su difusión, en particular de geografías preocupadas con la ontología del espacio contemporáneo.
