A apendicectomia é uma das cirurgias abdominais mais realizadas no mundo e o tratamento de escolha na maioria dos casos de apendicite aguda (AA). Contudo, com a mesma advém complicações, tal como o abscesso intra-abdominal.O objetivo deste trabalho, foi realizar um inquérito, comparando o perfil epidemiológico de pacientes submetidos a apendicectomia em um hospital terciário de Belo Horizonte – MG.Este trabalho individuado, observacional e transversal incluiu pacientes submetidos a apendicectomia no Hospital Metropolitano Odilon Behrens - MG (HMOB) de janeiro de 2022 a junho de 2022. Foram incluídos 151 pacientes, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino (54,3%). Sendo que a maioria (60,93%) dos pacientes estudados estava na faixa etária de 20 a 50 anos. A via operatória predominante foi a laparotômica (78,15%). A fase da apendicite aguda predominante foi a II/IV (33,77%). A ocorrência da complicação abscesso intra-abdominal esteve presente em 6,62% dos pacientes, predominando nas Aas fase 3 e 4 (80%). Os dados obtidos neste estudo reproduzem a tendência epidemiológica dos pacientes com AA na literatura. Todavia, a incidência de abscesso abdominal em relação à via de abordagem divergiu em relação à literatura, provavelmente pelo número absoluto de cirurgias laparotômicas realizadas no serviço estudado.

THE LEGACY OF MACHADO DE ASSIS
Authors: Da Costa Natalia Borges
Published: August 2023

The theme proposed in this Article is: ‘The Legacy of Machado de Assis.’ The development of this Article took place under the qualitative methodology with bibliographic, qualitative, referential, interpretive, descriptive and critical-dialectical methods. Reflecting on Machado is the main objective of this Article, considering the importance of Machado de Assis: one of the greatest names in Brazilian Literature, if not the greatest. Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis is the main author of Realism in Brazil: he is considered the biggest name in the movement in this country. In fact, he is considered the introducer of Realism in Brazil, with the publication of ‘Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas’ (1881). The Legacy of Machado de Assis helped immensely in the building of the Brazilian Literary Critique. Initially I will deal with Some Critics by Machado; later I will talk about The PostMachado Literature; and then I will weave my Final Considerations. I hope the academic environment will receive a good contribution, both practical and theoretical, by carrying out my analyses.

A geração de energia eólica vem aumentando nas últimas décadas, especialmente pelo incentivo governamental em energias renováveis. A eficiência para esse tipo de geração depende de parâmetros construtivos e das variáveis ambientais. O objetivo desse estudo foi correlacionar as variáveis resposta: potência do rotor (Pm) e rotação do eixo (R) apenas com as variáveis independentes: diâmetro da pá (D), ângulo de passo (β), velocidade escalar da ponta da pá (Vpp) e velocidade do vento (Vv) sob a hipótese nula de que as quatro variáveis independentes são suficientes para determinar as variáveis resposta. Para definir a correlação foram construídos cenários com diferentes valores de D, β, Vpp e Vv indicados na literatura ou por fabricantes das turbinas eólicas. Foi utilizado um delineamento composto central rotacional (DCCR) para definir os cenários. Os resultados foram verificados estatisticamente pela análise de variância (ANOVA) ao nível de 5% de Tukey, a dependência das variáveis foi apresentada na forma gráfica de superfície e a equação de regressão foi obtida para representar tal influência. Desse estudo foi possível concluir que as quatro variáveis independentes apresentam correlação com a potência e rotação do eixo, mas não são suficientes para resumir adequadamente todas as variáveis construtivas e ambientais.

Published: August 2023

Collection and evaluation of semen are the first critical steps for examination of male fertility, gamete preservation and development of artificial insemination technology in ducks. Induced teaser method and manual massage method of semen collection were evaluated for the ease and reaction time in White Pekin and Khaki Campbell breeds of ducks. Semen characteristics and length of fertile period were examined in both the breeds. Method of semen collection in both the breeds of ducks did not affect semen volume and quality parameters. However, reaction time and hypo-osmotic swollen spermatozoa percent differed significantly with the method of semen collection. The length of fertile period in White Pekin is longer than Khaki Campbell ducks during artificial insemination while it was reverse during natural mating. Our findings indicated that manual message method of semen collection in ducks may be practised for a successful artificial insemination programme as the drakes can be habituated for the semen collection by massage method and donate semen quickly without much difficulty and alteration in semen quality.

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), stimulates growth hormone (GH) secretion and has both orexigenic and adipogenic effects. This study sought to understand the potential involvement of MAPKs in ghrelin-induced growth of OECs. Different concentrations of ghrelin were applied to cultured OECs to observe the growth rate of cells and changes in phosphorylation state of MAPKs ERK1/2, JNK and p38. Ghrelin-induced OECs growth was promoted primarily by phosphorylated ERK1/2, and that this phosphorylation, as well as p90rsk phosphorylation, was mediated by the ghrelin receptor GHSR. In conclusion, our study suggested that ghrelin promotes the growth of OECs primarily through the ERK pathway.

Glucosinolates are important bioactive molecules and widely found in Brassicaceae species (cress, brussels sprouts, mustard, broccoli, kale etc.). Depending on the amount of these vegetables consumed, both positive and negative metabolic effects from glucosinolate metabolites may occur. The aim of this study was to investigate inexpensive animal food sources that both increase weight gain and provide enhanced performance parameters without adversely affecting the animal’s health and metabolism; to evaluate dose adjustment of food containing glucosinolates in animals; and to evaluate changes in the biochemical and performance status of chickens on the glucosinolate containing diets. Day-old Ross 308 broiler line chicks (624) were divided into 1 control and 3 treatment groups. Cress seed (Lepidium sativum) was added 0.05% for the first treatment group (group 1, 10g/kg), 0.10% for the second treatment group (group 2, 20g/kg) and 0.15% for the last treatment groups (group 3, 30 g/kg) to the diet. Serum samples were evaluated for serum glucose, adiponectin, leptin, growth hormone, estradiol and cortisol levels. Feed intake, live body weight gain and feed conversion ratio were investigated for performance parameters. The results showed that dietary cress seed supplementation as feed additive (10, 20 and 30 g/kg) did not significantly improve the dietary performance, or carcass parameters of broiler chickens. Feed intake was the highest in group 2 (20g/kg), female live weight was the highest in group 2 (20 g/kg) and 3 (30 g/kg).

A two-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of sub-soiling on plant growth, root morphology and yield of rainfed pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L. ) Millsp.] (Var LRG 41) during 2012-13 and 2013-14. Crop exposed to moisture stress condition from flowering to harvest (120 days) during 2013-14, compared to experiment conducted during 2012-13. The results indicated that sub-soil tillage sustained higher shoot, root growth and seed yield during the year 2013-14, which coincided with end of season drought compared to conventional tillage treatment. Crop growth in terms of plant height, leaf area/plant significantly improved due to sub-soiling compared to conventionally tilled treatment. Similarly sub-soiling recorded significant increase in drought tolerant traits, viz. root length (234%), root dry weight (274%) and relative water content (37%). Consequently, sub-soil tillage recorded significant increase in number of pods/plant by 59%, 100 seed weight by 12% and pod yield by 219% compared to conventionally tilled treatment. Sub-soil tillage proved efficient method of mechanical intervention for drought mitigation under rainfed pigeonpea cultivation.

Published: August 2023

Organic manures and biofertilizers improve soil, physical, chemical and biological properties and thus enhancecrops productivity and quality. Hence a study was carried out to assess interactive effect of inorganic fertilizers, vermicompost, Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorhizae (VAM) and biofertilizers [Azotobactor and Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB)] inoculation on seed yield and quality of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L). Moench). The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design for two consecutive cropping season, kharif 2012 and 2013, with ten INM treatments including control (100% RDF). The INM treatments differed significantly for plant height, seed yield, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod and seed quality parameters. Integrated use of 100% RDF or NPK + BF (Biofertilizer mixture of Azotobactor + PSB + VAM 10 kg/ha) + vermicompost 2.5 t/ha (7.96, 7.25 q/ha) performed significantly better than the control (7.11, 5.95 q/ha) for seed yield and its attributes as well as seed quality parameters during kharif 2012 and 2013, respectively. Treatment 50% RDF + BF was found to be the least performer. Also, the mean cost benefit ratio (1.75) was highest for 100% RDF + BF + vermicompost. The highest average net returns (Rupees 40 510/ha) was obtained with (T8) the conjunctive use of inorganic fertilizer (100% NPK) and organic manure (vermicompost) and VAM along with bio-inoculants followed by 100% NPK + biofertilizers (Rupees 35 410/ha), 100% RDF (Rupees 34 190/ha) and lowest by 50% RDF + biofertilizers (Rupees 19 530/ha).

The present investigation was conducted to study the effect of post-harvest ethrel treatment on ripening and quality of persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) under ambient (24 Â± 2Â°C) as well as refrigerated (3-6°C) conditions. Fully matured persimmon cv. Hachiya fruits were dipped in ethrel solution of varying concentrations (50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm) or with control (water dip). The observations on per cent physiological loss in weight (PLW), per cent ripening and spoilage, fruit length (cm) and breadth (cm), and quality parameters, viz. total soluble solids (°B), titratable acidity (%), total sugars (%), reducing sugars (%) and TSS: acid content were recorded at regular interval till the fruits were acceptable. Results of the study revealed that PLW (%) increased with the increase in storage period under both the storage conditions. All the quality parameters, like TSS, total sugars, reducing sugars and TSS: acid ratio were influenced by ethrel treatment but the acidity remains unaffected. The fruits treated with higher concentration of ethrel (150 or 200 ppm) showed more ethylene injury (spots on fruits), while those treated with lower concentration (50 or 100 ppm) or untreated did not show any such injury when stored under refrigerated condition. A dip in 100 ppm ethrel for 1 minute was found to be the best for persimmon cv. Hachiya under both the storage conditions.

Published: August 2023

A power-weeder has been developed to address the weeding requirement of the cassava planted in mound pattern in hilly terrains. Although there are many commercial makes available for weeding of cassava planted in flat method as well as ridges and furrows method, it seems that there is no suitable weeder presently available in the country to address the weeding requirement of mound cassava of hilly terrains. The power weeder developed consists of petrolengine, main weeding rotor, offset weeding rotor, depth control lever, ground-wheels, transmission assembly, frame and handle. The main weeding rotor removes the weeds on the furrow while the offset weeding rotor removes the weeds on mounds without damaging the tuber grown under mounds. It is economically viable with fuel consumption limited to 27 L/ha. The machine proved its capability of weeding between the rows on both directions with acceptable weeding efficiency of 92.8% with negligible percentage (0.7) of damage to rhizome, field capacity of 0.16 ha/day, and field efficiency of 79.0%. It was also found that the operators did not observe any difficulty due to side thrust since the sideways thrust might have been transferred by the method of attaching the lateral rotor at 20mm ahead to the line joining central axis to the lateral axis. The power-weeder was recommended as an ideal machine for medium cassava farms of India.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi seasons of 2008-09 and 2009-10 at Lakhaoti, Bulandshahr (UP) to study the effect of integrated use of inorganic fertilizer with FYM on yield, uptake of nutrients and economics of onion (Allium cepa L.). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with ten treatments and three replications. The results revealed that the bulb diameter, scale leaves/bulb, fresh weight of bulb, specific gravity of bulb and bulb yield increased significantly with 150% RD of NPK over control. All the parameters further increased when 10 tonnes FYM/ha was added along with 100% NPK. An additional bulb yield of 2.2 tonnes/ha was realized with 100% NPK + 10 tonnes/ha over 100% NPK alone. Application of 100% NPK + 10 tonnes FYM + 6 kg Zn + 20 kg S/ha produced bulb (36.95 tonnes/ha) and dry matter yield (5.66 tonnes/ha) of onion which was superior to 150% NPK alone (34.08 and 5.22 tonnes/ha). The maximum gross return (Rupees 234 902.5 tonnes/ha), net returns (Rupees 171 085.1/ha) B: C ratio (2.67) and protein yield (368 kg/ha) were obtained with combined use of 100% NPK + FYM + Zn + S. However, the maximum protein content (6.6%) was recorded with 150% NPK application. The uptake of N, P, K, S and Zn by onion bulbs was found to be associated with production of dry matter resulted by the addition of 100% NPK + FYM + Zn + S. The results indicated that combined use of 100% NPK and FYM enriched with Zn and S was the most appropriate nutrient management for higher productivity and profitability of onion.
Effect of black polythene mulch on growth and yield of Winter Dawn strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) by improving root zone temperature
Authors: PANDEY SWAPNIL , SINGH JITENDRA , MAURYA I B
Published: August 2023

Root-zone temperature (RZT) plays important role in improving plant growth and development of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) by influencing the uptake of water and mineral nutrients by roots. RZT attains greater prominence as roots are less adapted to fluctuations in temperature than shoots. The North-Indian plains are characterized by clear demarcation of seasons with extreme winter and summer. For effective root zone temperature, weed control and moisture regulation, mulching has been recommended. In the present study, we investigated the effect of different mulch materials on RZT, the root growth and its impact on plant performance. Mulching-induced improvement in RZT resulted in improved plant and root growth as evidenced by higher fresh and dry matter content. The beneficial effects of mulching on RZT, and subsequent impact on root and plant growth were reflected as increased number of fruit/plant and better-size fruit. Improvement in plant growth parameters led to almost 1.5-fold increase in yield over those grown on bare soil. Among the different mulches tested, black polythene outperformed the rest in terms of growth (plant fresh weight 187.31 g and dry weight 57.28 g) and yield parameters (fruit size length 54.00 mm and width 42.59 mm; fruit fresh weight 36.74 g, dry weight 2.88 g; no. of fruits/plant 33.55 and fruit yield/plant 536.55g).

Meningioma is the primary central nervous system tumour with the highest recorded prevalence. Research on meningiomas has shown an association with hormone receptor expression, but the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms remain unclear. This systematic review presents the available information on the role of progesterone and estrogen in meningioma’s pathogenesis, prognosis, and treatment. The study used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Review and MetaAnalysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. The authors searched and downloaded relevant published articles from the following databases; PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. The downloaded articles were screened using set eligibility criteria and appropriate quality appraisal tools and subsequently relevant data was extracted using standardized questionnaires. Based on the papers reviewed, progesterone receptor expression in meningioma is associated with significantly more favourable prognostic factors and treatment outcomes while a negative correlation exists between overall survival and the presence of estrogen receptors. In conclusion, analysing hormone receptor expression in meningioma appears necessary for targeted hormonal and endocrine therapy. A suitable reference population must also be defined in future extensive prospective multi-centre and multi-national clinical studies

Authors: Tapia Dalma , Zambrano Wilson
Published: August 2023

El presente artículo reporta los hallazgos del Diseño Universal de Aprendizaje como herramienta psicopedagógica que ayuda a mejorar los procesos cognitivos y que aplicada en la materia de Educación Cultural y Artística genera experiencias significativas con contenidos acordes a las individualidades. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar las bases metodológicas del DUA que están implicadas en el aprendizaje, así como analizar la diversificación de estrategias, los recursos utilizados en ECA y su aproximación ante el modelo pedagógico. Se realizó una investigación de campo con docentes de una Institución Educativa Fiscal con sede en la Provincia de Santa Elena, a quienes se les aplicó una guía de entrevista y posterior observación directa no participativa, en la cual se determinó que los docentes desconocen el DUA y poseen una pobre interpretación de la malla curricular, esto conllevó a que no se desarrollaran actividades que cumplan con el perfil de salida que demanda el currículo sumado al limitado acceso a recursos y materiales que incluya a todas las diversidades, consecuentemente, generó confusión en los estudiantes al momento de realizar actividades. En conclusión, los maestros juegan un papel vital en el fomento de las artes, ayudando a los estudiantes a desarrollar la autonomía, creatividad y expresión artística que sumado al DUA como herramienta psicopedagógica pueden crear un ambiente inclusivo en el cual todos tienen la oportunidad de aprender.

Friedensethik in Kriegszeiten
Authors: Gerhardt Volker , Leonhardt Rochus , Wischmeyer Johannes
Published: August 2023

Three days after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke in a government statement of a „turning point in the history of our continent“. The question is whether it is acceptable that „power breaks the law“. Insofar as the relationship between power and law is one of the central problems of peace ethics, the keyword „turning point“ also marks a caesura for this area of applied ethics: In times of war, peace ethics – namely, Christian peace ethics – is under the pressure of realism. In recent decades, the theological and ecclesiastical mainstream of German Protestantism has focused primarily on war prevention, disregarding the question of what one can do when prevention fails. The three authors of this volume want to respond to the increased pressure of realism by presenting the peace-ethical drafts of Martin Luther and Immanuel Kant and by subjecting leading peace-ethical positions of German Protestantism to a critical revision.
Das Wittenberger Heiltum
Authors: Liedke Johanna
Published: August 2023

Around 1520, the Wittenberger Heiltum was one of the largest collections of relics in the Roman-German Empire. Through its preservation in the Wittenberg Castle Church and its collector Frederick the Wise, it is connected to events of the early Reformation. In addition, the woodcuts of the Heiltumbuch from the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder are of interest for art history. This study refers to sources in its examination of the Heiltum in its development, relic acquisitions, collection system, and liturgical use of reliquaries. These are arranged in the context of Frederick the Wise’s personal piety, sacral representation of power, and church policy. It thus becomes clear that the collection was central to the residential function of Wittenberg in the years prior to the Reformation.
