nomes próprios de rios do território de identidade 6 – Baixo sul (Bahia)
Authors: Abbade Celina Márcia de Souza
Published: August 2022

A partir da onomástica, ramo da lexicologia que estuda os nomes próprios, a toponímia vem buscando estudar os nomes próprios dos lugares que existem nesse mundo. Partindo de um projeto maior, o Atlas Toponímico da Bahia (ATOBAH), que objetiva estudar os topônimos baianos, começando pelos que designam os acidentes físicos relacionados às águas, esta pesquisa apresenta os topônimos que designam os principais rios que pertencem ao Território de Identidade 6 – Baixo Sul. Esse território é composto por quinze municípios: Aratuípe, Jaguaripe, Cairu, Valença, Taperoá, Nilo Peçanha, Ituberá, Igrapiúna, Camamu, Ibirapitanga, Piraí do Norte, Gandu, Wenceslau Guimarães, Teolândia e Presidente Tancredo Neves. Este trabalho fundamenta-se na perspectiva dos estudos toponímicos, a partir dos fundamentos teóricos de Dick, assim como nos estudos desenvolvidos acerca dos atlas toponímicos de diversos estados brasileiros, como o Atlas Toponímico do Estado de Minas Gerais (Atemig) coordenado por Seabra, e o Atlas Toponímico do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (Atems), sob a coordenação de Isquerdo, dentre outros. Sabendo que os topônimos são marcas de identidade de um grupo e que, por isso, integram o patrimônio cultural de um povo, os aspectos revelados a partir de um estudo onomástico/toponímico, além do fazer linguístico, permeiam caminhos históricos, arqueológicos, geográficos, genealógicos e socioculturais dos nomeadores, resgatando e preservando a memória e a identidade de grupos que habitam e/ou habitaram o espaço em estudo.
Who Is NIL Leaving Out?

Published: August 2022

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) adopted name, image and likeness (NIL) legislation in July 2021. The expectation was for all NCAA student-athletes to have the opportunity to seek compensation for their NIL, but the reality is quite different. International student-athletes are not easily able to benefit from their NIL due to restrictions placed on off-campus work under the terms of their entrance visas to the United States. This paper explores the need for the NCAA, NCAA member institutions, and government agencies to re-evaluate policies in an effort to ensure all student-athletes have the right to profit off their NIL. It is crucial that the membership is aware of how international student-athletes are confined by student visa regulations. In order to create a fair and equitable experience for all student-athletes, the NCAA and athletic departments need to understand off-campus work regulations and exceptions for international student visas (F-1 visa). Additionally, there is a need to advocate for this specific sub-population of student-athletes. We explore the idea of creating the opportunity for NIL to be on considered on-campus work for international student-athletes, or perhaps even assisting this population in filing exceptions within the constructs of the law. With domestic student-athletes already benefiting from NIL, it is time to find ways to allow international student-athletes to do the same. In essence, such opportunities would create one less barrier for international student-athletes who already face difficulty adjusting to life in the US.

Adenosine Triphosphate Exerts Cardioprotective Effect on High-Dose Atorvastatin-Induced Heart Damage in Rats
Authors: COSKUN Resit
Published: August 2022

Atorvastatin is a statin derivated hypolipidemic drug used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. High-dose atorvastatin has been shown to significantly reduce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in the heart tissue. Reduction of ATP by atorvastatin causes increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased antioxidants, subsequent cell membrane and mitochondrial damage. The present study aimed to biochemically investigate the protective effect of ATP against possible cardiac damage caused by high dose atorvastatin in rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into atorvastatin (ATR), atorvastatin+ATP (AAT) and healthy control (HG) groups. ATP at a 25 mg/kg dose was injected intraperitoneally (ip) to the AAT (n-6) group. 0.9% NaCl as solvent was applied to the ATR (n-6) and HG (n-6) groups by the same route. Afterward, atorvastatin was administered orally at a dose of 20 mg/kg to the AAT and ATR groups. This procedure was repeated once daily for four weeks. At the end of this period, blood samples were taken into tubes to analyze troponin-I (TP-I) by cardiac puncture before animals were sacrificed with high-dose anesthesia. In addition, heart tissues were removed and malondialdehyde (MDA), total glutathione (tGSH), total oxidant (TOS) and total antioxidant (TAS) levels were measured. Biochemical test results showed that in the heart tissues of the ATR group, the oxidative parameters MDA and TOS significantly increased, while the antioxidant parameters tGSH and TAS significantly decreased compared to AAT and HG. Atorvastatin alone administration significantly increased blood TP-I levels, a marker of cardiac tissue damage. However, ATP administration to AAT group animals brought oxidative parameter levels closer to HG, despite high-dose atorvastatin treatment. In addition, the significant decrease in antioxidant levels was prevented by ATP application. High doses of atorvastatin can cause heart damage. ATP treatment was able to prevent atorvastatin-induced oxidative heart damage.

Authors: SUNGUR Bilal
Published: August 2022

Depending on the growing industry and the population, energy needs are increasing day by day. This issue makes it necessary the use of renewable energy sources as much as possible. There is a growing interest in pellet fuel and pellet-fired combustion systems, which are one of the renewable energy sources. In this work, performance analyzes of pellet-fueled boilers with two different feeding systems (horizontal-fed and top-fed) and two different flue gas outlet positions were carried out and results were discussed. Emissions of O2, CO2, CO and NOx and flue gas temperature were measured at a certain point of the chimney. Boiler thermal efficiencies were calculated and compared with each other. Direct and indirect methods were used to calculate thermal efficiency of boilers. Results showed that the flue gas temperatures were about 110 °C in the top-fed boiler and 138 °C in the horizontal-fed boiler. The thermal efficiency of top-fed boiler was higher than horizontal-fed boiler. In the top-fed boiler, CO and NOx emissions were lower than the horizontal-fed boiler. Generally, the top-fed boiler showed better performance and lower emission characteristics than horizontal-fed boiler.

Published: August 2022

Chronic kidney disease is an important public health problem in our country as well as all over the world, and the mortality rate in dialysis treatment is 10-30% higher than in the general population. According to the Turkish Nephrology Society 2021 Registry data; there are 83,350 patients with end-stage renal disease in total, as of the end of 2020. The quality of life of those diagnosed with end-stage renal disease is lower than that of the general population and individuals with chronic diseases. In addition, chronic diseases cause sadness, anger, depression, helplessness, fear of death, feeling of uselessness, crying spells, social isolation, fear of being dependent, deterioration in body image, inadequacy and deterioration in quality of life. In dialysis patients, both the conditions caused by the treatment and the perception of chronic disease negatively affect their quality of life. This review has been discussed in order to evaluate the quality of life of patients receiving hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment models of end-stage renal disease.

Published: August 2022

The aim of this research was to evaluate the enzyme inhibitory potential of some new hydrazone derivatives bearing an aryl sulfonate moiety against the human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and II), which were attained from commercial suppliers. In the current study, the structures of targeted molecules (5-8) were characterized by some spectroscopic techniques. The inhibition capacities of the compounds on hCA I and II activities were examined by employing the esterase activity method under in vitro conditions. The IC50 values of the tested molecules were determined in the range of 15.7-135.2 µM against hCA I and in the range of 13.5-76.3 µM against hCA II. Among them, compound 7 exhibited the highest activity against both hCA I and II. The inhibitory activity results of all tested compounds were also compared to the standard drug Acetazolamide (AAZ). It was established that some of the tested molecules showed the inhibitory activities close to AAZ.

Authors: Gu Minsu , Oh Min Woo , Kim Han Tae , Kong Hyun-Ho
Published: August 2022

Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) in patients who have undergone video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has not been reported to date. This report describes a case of RSH in a patient with right abdominal muscle atrophy due to an intercostal nerve injury following VATS. A 61-year-old male patient complained of a bulge in the right upper abdominal quadrant after undergoing VATS. Computed tomography (CT) revealed atrophied right abdominal muscles, including the rectus abdominis, and the electrodiagnostic findings were compatible with right 8th and 9th intercostal neuropathy. The patient visited the emergency room 444 days after undergoing VATS, complaining of a left abdominal mass and pain. He had a severe cough 2 weeks prior due to underlying asthma. CT revealed an RSH in the left abdomen that shrank after 4 weeks of observation. In cases of abdominal muscle weakness due to intercostal neuropathy following VATS, the precipitating factors for RSH must be managed thoroughly.

Islamic guidance and counseling is a process of providing directed, continuous and systematic assistance to each individual with the aim that the individual can develop the ability of religious nature that he already has optimally according to the values contained in the Qur'an and Hadith. Forms of guidance that exist in the field of Islamic religion include activities from Islamic preaching. Directed da'wah can provide guidance, especially to Muslims, so that they can truly achieve and carry out the balance of life fid dunya wal akhirah. The Qur'an and Hadith are sources of knowledge (mashdarul ilmi) which provide many restrictions on how to behave in social life, so that humans can pass life in the world and the hereafter happily, along with the human cultural context they carry. The ushul rule as one of the guidelines for understanding the Qur'an and Al Hadith states "Taghoyyurul ahkam bi taghoyyuril amkan wal azminah" changes in the form of law can be made when there are changes in terms of place and time. In the reality that we often see many efforts made by someone in shaping good morals or behavior. The presence of educational institutions in the framework of moral development will strengthen the opinion that morals can be fostered and trained. Likewise, the teachings of Islam provide moral guidance to humans through the words of Allah contained in the Qur'an and Hadith.

Published: August 2022

The marketability of the sweet peppers is determined by their quality in Class I, which must also meet the highest standards in terms of the color, shape of the variety and the characteristics of the various flavors. However, the determinants of quality may vary from one pepper type to another. During of our research, we examined the utilization of nitrogen, magnesium and potassium in different types of domestic peppers in the context of the relative chlorophyll content of the foliage and the amount of sugar and total capsaicin in the fruits. We determined that the nutrient solution prepared by Duna-r Ltd. is suitable for achieving the highest sugar and capsaicin content, but their levels can differ significantly. The uptake and utilization of nitrogen, magnesium and potassium of nutrient solution can be checked with the SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development) index data of the foliage. We found that there are periods in the phenophase of the pepper cultivars studied when both sugar content and capsaicin content increase significantly. Another major result is that sugar content is a basic determinant of capsaicin content in hot peppers and cherry peppers, while it is not an important factor of capsaicin content for Bogyiszló-type peppers.

Published: August 2022

This study aims to analyze the owner's role in the company's tax policy taken by management. As the owner of capital, the role of the owner is strongly suspected of influencing management in every policy, including tax policy, while, tax for companies is still considered a burden that erodes issuers’ profits and investors returns. Decisions in tax policy are indicators in assessing the level of compliance and dilemmas in responding to owner interests. STATA was used for the analysis of 132-panel data from the annual report of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2019 after purposive sampling. This study found strong institutional and foreign owners’ role on management policy for tax minimization. These results can be input for other stakeholders such as regulators in analyzing the level of taxpayer compliance from the influence of institutional and foreign share ownership. The advantage of this research is the use of the Tax Compliance Ratio (TCR) as an indicator of the company's tax policy compared to the Effective Tax Rate (ETR) which is commonly used by other studies. In addition, the expansion test of the research model with a simple regression test on the effect of each share ownership as well as a sensitivity test in analyzing the strength of TCR compared to ETR makes this research unique and deeper.

Published: August 2022

Este artigo é recorte de uma tese de doutorado que trata da relação entre norma local e território e o contexto urbano dos municípios de Capão da Canoa e de Xangri-Lá. Entender como ocorreu a ocupação e a urbanização destes municípios implica na compreensão de diferentes fatores, como os que se relacionam com o meio físico, a dinâmica econômica local e regional, condicionantes de uso e ocupação do solo urbano e as leis que influenciam estas localidades. Assim, objetiva-se compreender como foi a interação entre a sociedade e o espaço na região mencionada, entendendo-se como ocorreu a dinâmica dos municípios analisados, quais são os agentes sociais que interagem neste espaço e como eles influenciaram o surgimento dos condomínios nesta região. Ao final, evidencia-se que a ausência de planejamento urbano resultou na atuação de investidores sob a justificativa de que a região necessitava de desenvolvimento econômico, possibilitando, assim, a ação livre da especulação imobiliária.

Published: August 2022

The purpose of the study was to investigate the association of carriage of rs9939609 polymorphism in the FTO gene with features of androgen status in men.

Material and methods. The observational one-stage examination of 139 male patients aged 22 to 69 years, admitted to a therapeutic hospital in a planned manner has been carried out in the Clinic of the Federal Research Center for Fundamental and Translational Medicine in the period 2020–2021. All fasting men in the morning (8:00–8:30) were carried out of an anthropometric examination to determine physical development, sampling of venous blood from the cubital vein to assess the hormonal parameters of androgen status, and taking a sample of the buccal epithelium for molecular genetic research. Based on the carriage of the rs9939609 (T>A) polymorphism of the FTO gene, the following groups (G) of patients were distinguished: G1 – wild-type homozygotes (WT/WT), G2 – heterozygotes (WT/A), G3 – homozygotes for the mutant allele (A/A).

Results and discussion. The statistically significant differences were found in the levels of total testosterone between G1 and G3 (11.6 vs 14.5 nmol/L, p = 0.010), as well as free testosterone in G1 compared to G2 (0.233 vs 0.287 nmol/L, p = 0.012) and G3 (0.233 vs 0.321 nmol/L, p = 0.002) when analyzing the clinical-anthropometric and hormonal features of the androgen status of the examined male patients in the selected groups. Assessment of the association revealed statistically significant positive correlations between the carriage of the mutant allele and the levels of total (r = 0.247; p = 0.013) and free (r = 0.296; p = 0.003) testosterone, and negative - with the frequency of androgen deficiency according to the free testosterone criteria (r = –0.240; p = 0.016).

Conclusions. It has been shown that the carriage of the A/A genotype of rs9939609 polymorphism of the FTO gene is associated with an increase in the levels of total and free testosterone, that indicates a protective effect against the development of androgen deficiency in men. The obtained results suggest that this effect is due to the epigenetic effect of the FTO gene protein product on the expression of other genes involved in the synthesis of androgens in the gonads, but also in the adrenal cortex since no association of the carriage of the rs9939609 polymorphism of the FTO gene with the DHEA-C level was found.

The questions concerning the terms of juvenile age body measurement as well as body composition variability remain relevance and academic novelty. Such studies results data are essential for systematic analysis on secular trend of young generation development.

Material and methods. Longitudinal study of physical development (length, body weight, muscle and fat component) of boys and girls aged 18 and 19, studying at 1–2 courses of university and living in a dormitory has been applied.

Results and discussion. In boys and girls aged 18–19, body length and body weight have increased for 1 year on average by 1.5 and 0.9 cm and by 1.3 and 1.2 kg, respectively. In 22.6 % of boys and 54.8 % of girls body length does not change. The annual changes in the fat component are not reliable, whereas the muscle component increases significantly by 3 % in boys and by 0.8 % in girls. Students living in a dormitory often experience a lack of night sleep, they do not have enough physical activity, consume not enough calories, valuable proteins and fats. Because of this, physical development may deteriorate.

Conclusions. The annual variability of the indicators of physical development of students aged 18–19 years indicates the ongoing processes of growth and development, which are more pronounced in boys, in girls there is a tendency to stabilize the length of the body. Knowledge about the sensitivity of the body of first-year students mastering the requirements for studying at a university and independent living in a dormitory is necessary for the organization of work on pedagogical support during the adaptation of first-year students.

Authors: Balandina I. A. , Snigireva S. V.
Published: August 2022

The lack of accurate information in the scientific literature highlighting the parameters of the fallopian tube funnel in the period from adolescence to old age was the reason for performing this work.

The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the parameters of the external diameter of the fallopian tube funnel in women who gave birth in the period from adolescence to old age using autopsy specimens.

Material and methods. The work was based on the results of a morphometric study of both fallopian tubes in 126 women aged 16 to 88 years who had given birth and were divided into five groups (Group I comprised 24 women in their early teens, Group II comprised 26 women in their first adulthood, Group III comprised 23 women in their second adulthood, Group IV comprised 28 elderly women, Group V comprised 25 senile women.

Results. The parameters of the external diameter of the fallopian tubes of women in the period from adolescence to old age have no statistically reliable differences; there is a tendency for the values to increase with age. Comparative analysis of values of the external diameter of the right and left fallopian tubes funnels showed statistically reliable predominance of the right fallopian tube funnel parameters in adolescence and old age. In the first and second periods of adulthood and old age, no statistically significant difference in the parameters of the external diameter of the funnel of the right fallopian tube was found; the tendency to the predominance of the funnel diameter values of the right fallopian tube in comparison with the left one was noted.

Conclusions. The parameters of the external diameter of the fallopian tubes funnel in the period from adolescence to old age serve as reference values of the age morphological norm in women who have given birth, supplementing the currently available scientific data on the peculiarities of fallopian tube structure. These results can be applied to prospective basic and clinical research.

The aim of the studywas to compare the effect of glyproline peptides RGRGP (Arg-Gly-Arg-Gly-Pro), RGP (Arg-GlyPro), PRPGP (Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) and PGPL (Pro-Gly-Pro-Leu) peptide substances at various concentrations on the free radical oxidation intensity of the brain tissues of Wistar males after intraperitoneal administration of peptide solutions after traumatic brain injury.

Material and methods. The brain tissue of Wistar males aged 2–3 months (n= 126) were used in the experiment. RGRGP, RGP, PRPGP, and PGPL peptides were provided by Academician N.F. Myasoyedov. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was modeled by free fall of a load. From the second to the fifth day of the experiment, the animals were injected intraperitoneally with peptides. On the sixth day, the animals were taken out of the experiment. The activity of free radical oxidation was determined in freshly prepared homogenates of sections of the cerebral cortex by chemiluminescence (CL).

Results. TBI significantly enhance free-radical oxidation intensity of the neocortex in brain tissue of Wistar rats, and the studied peptides affect it in different ways - from a decrease in CL intensity (the minimum value in TBI + RGP 0.1 group) to its increase (the maximum value in TBI + RGPGP 0.1 group). The effect depends on the dose of glyproline.

Conclusions. The results obtained, based on the analysis of the free radical oxidation intensity of tissues, mainly indicate a different degree of correction of tissue homeostasis indicators. It can be assumed that Arg-Pro-Gly peptide can be the basis for the development of new drugs for post-stress rehabilitation after injuries of various levels and genesis.

Introduction. The study of various aspects of the stress-reactivity of the body’s immune system, along with the search for correction tools characterized by immunoregulatory properties, is one of the most relevant areas of physiology and pharmacology. Currently, neuropeptides belonging to the group of glурrоlins (the registered drug “sеlаnk” and the new compounds Рro-Glу-Рro-Leu and Рro-Glу-Рro) are of particular interest in practical application as promising bioregulators, in particular their effects on the processes of free radical oxidation, as well as the ability to restore changes from the immune system, including those formed in response to stress.

The aim of the study: was to study the effect of glурrоlins on the intensity of lipid peroxidation, catalase activity in the spleen and thymus of male rats under experimental information stress.

Material and methods. The study was performed on white nonlinear male rats on which the model of information stress, based on the formation of behavior in animals in a multi-alternative food-producing maze, was reproduced for 20 days. The initial content of malondialdehyde, the rate of spontaneous and ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation were determined by standard spectrophotometric methods, and the activity of catalase in the homogenate of the thymus and spleen of experimental animals was evaluated.

Results. Under the studied stress conditions, an increase in peroxidation processes was noted. Against the background of the introduction of sеlаnk, Рro-Glу-Рro and Рro-Glу-Рro-Leu, the suppression of the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes in the homogenates of the spleen and thymus tissue of male rats was established (a decrease in the initial level, the rate of spontaneous and ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation).

Conclusions. Injection of neuropeptides belonging to the group of glyprolins (sеlаnk, Рro-Glу-Рro-Leu and Рro-Glу-Рro) under informational stress conditions contributes to the suppression of the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes, which indicates the stress-protective and immunocorrective effect of the studied substances.
ОЦЕНКА СОСТОЯНИЯ ПРИЗЕМНОГО АТМОСФЕРНОГО ВОЗДУХА В ЮГО-ЗАПАДНОМ КРЫМУ ПО ДАННЫМ ЛИХЕНОИНДИКАЦИИ

Актуальность. Лихеноиндикация широко применяется для оценки качества атмосферного воздуха. Для юго-западного Крыма оценка состояния атмосферного воздуха по данным лихеноиникации проводится впервые. Цель: проведение оценки качества атмосферного воздуха в юго-западном Крыму по данным лихеноиндикации. Объекты: эпифитные лишайники, эверния сливовая (Evernia prunastri), рамалина мучнистая (Ramalina farinacea), фисция (Physcia Sp.), пармелия бороздчатая (Parmelia sulcata). Методы. Для анализа в период с февраля по май 2018 г. отобрано 17 проб эпифитных кустистых лишайников в разных природно-ландшафтных условиях (предгорье, межгорные котловины, вершины гор) с учетом разного уровня антропогенной нагрузки. В пробах определено содержание семи элементов: Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, Sr. Элементный состав лишайников определён методом атомно-абсорбционного спектрометрии. Результаты. Выявлено, что к наиболее активно накапливаемым элементам в лишайниках юго-западного Крыма относятся Zn, Sr и Pb; менее активно накапливаются Cu, Cd, Ni и Cr. Анализ показал, что антропогенные источники загрязнения в большей степени индуцируются по содержанию в лишайниках Cu, Zn, Pb. Высокое содержание Sr индицирует аэрозольное влияние моря (как современной морской акватории через поступающие атмосферные осадки, так и палеоморского бассейна, что обусловлено денудацией морских отложений, микрочастицы которых присутствуют в атмосферном воздухе). Отмеченный относительно высокий уровень загрязнения атмосферного воздуха в г. Инкерман (входит в состав Большого Севастополя) обусловлен выбросами Севастопольской теплоэлектроцентрали (ТЭЦ), возле автозаправочной станции на трассе «Ялта–Севастополь» – выбросами автотранспорта, в сельских населенных пунктах Байдарский долины – выбросами от сжигания угля при печном отоплении. Выявлено, что данные по содержанию тяжелых металлов в лишайниках, отобранных в Чернореченском каньоне, могут считаться эталонными для определения фоновых параметров и уровня загрязнения приземной атмосферы в других районах юго-западного Крыма. Лишайники могут быть использованы для дополнения системы мониторинга состояния приземного воздуха в юго-западном Крыму.
VALIDATION OF SEMI-EMPIRICAL TEMPERATURE MODEL OF PEMFC USING ATOM SEARCH OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has unique thermal characteristics. The change in PEMFC temperature directly effects the PEMFC performance. The voltage and temperature of PEMFC at different loading/ambient conditions is not easy to predict. In this work a newly developed semi-empirical model is used and the parameters of the model are optimized for single cell PEMFC (base-case) by using atom search optimization. The semi-empirical model was developed and tested for stack PEMFC system but any model developed for PEMFC cannot be validated unless it is effective for single-cell PEMFC system. The new parameters show promising results and hence the model works is considered as good model. Previously due to unknown base-case parameters the ranges selected for parameters are extremely large. In this model by considering the base-case parameters and previously extracted parameters the new short ranges for parameters are given so that in future the optimization of parameters will take less time and this increases the chances of this model to be used in online prediction of PEMFC temperature.
