Exploitation of the powerful capabilities of the parametric programming technique for maximizing the efficient operation of CNC machine tools
Authors: Omirou Sotiris , Charalambos Chasos
Published: July 2023

Parametric programming is a high-level G-code language that is widely available in modern CNC controls. Its utilization in specific machining applications can provide significant benefits for industrial manufacturing units by maximizing the efficient operation of their CNC equipment. Parametric programming serves as a complementary tool to CAD/CAM systems and enables the development of concise and intelligent G-code programs with advanced capabilities. Its advantageous use is particularly justified in the invention of new canned cycles and the interpolation of complex curves that are of industrial interest. This paper focuses on three representative CNC machining cases. The first two cases involve the development of new cycles for pocket machining, specifically a trapezoid and a hexagonal pocket. The third case addresses the motion generation along an epicycloid curve, which is necessary for machining cycloidal discs, the primary components of cycloid drivers. The three cases presented effectively showcase the robust capabilities of parametric programming, highlighting its ability to directly extend programmable manufacturing features and eliminate reliance on CAD/CAM software. This not only reduces preparation time, which is the primary advantage offered by canned cycles, but also enhances the ease of CNC manipulation when dealing with complex curves.

Was darf die ÖPNV-Nutzung im Kontext sozialer Teilhabe kosten? : Ideen für Indikatoren der ÖPNV-Erschwinglichkeit
Authors: Rozynek Caroline , Mattioli Giulio , Aberle Christoph
Published: July 2023

Mobilität ist eine wesentliche Voraussetzung, um an außerhäuslichen Aktivitäten teilzunehmen und somit am gesellschaftlichen Leben teilhaben zu können. Da das Nutzen von Verkehrsmitteln mit Kosten verbunden ist, kann dies insbesondere für Personen mit geringen Einkünften eine Mobilitätsbarriere darstellen und das Risiko erhöhen, von mobilitätsbezogener sozialer Exklusion betroffen zu sein. Eine besondere und tragende Rolle fällt dem öffentlichen Personennahverkehr zu (ÖPNV), auf den wir mit diesem methodischen Beitrag eingehen möchten: Zunächst tragen wir zusammen, wie finanzielle ÖPNV-Erschwinglichkeit quantifiziert werden kann, wobei wir auf Grundlage internationaler Fachliteratur zwei Ansätze (beobachtete und potenzielle Erschwinglichkeit) unterscheiden. Anschließend diskutieren wir mögliche Indikatoren für die ÖPNV-Erschwinglichkeit, die auf dem Einkommen privater Haushalte basieren. Darüber hinaus skizzieren wir einen GIS-basierten Indikator für den Nutzen des Deutschlandtickets, das seit Mai 2023 bundesweit im ÖPNV gilt.
Environment and female entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia: investigation of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis
Authors: Chikh-Amnache Sabrina , Harnane Nadjoua , Mekhzoumi Lotfi
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the relationship between female entrepreneurship and environmental implications in ASEAN economies. While economic growth and affluence benefit society, they come at the cost of environmental degradation, particularly rising carbon dioxide levels and ecosystem concerns. Women entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia can potentially support their families and contribute to societal development by starting their own businesses. Their ventures provide fresh perspectives on societal challenges and enable active participation and contribution to creative endeavors, leading to economic and social empowerment with ripple effects on families and communities. To assess the environmental consequences of women’s entrepreneurial activities, the study applies the bias-corrected method of moments and tests the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis across ten ASEAN nations from 1980 to 2021. Results show cross-sectional dependence in all variables and confirm a long-term relationship within the EKC model. The fixed-effects estimator with bias correction is deemed the most suitable model. Findings indicate that GDPpc leads to decreased emissions, while the square of GDPpc contributes to increased emissions; however, the cubic term of GDPpc leads to decreased CO2 emissions, supporting the “inverted N” curve distribution of emissions across ASEAN nations proposed by the EKC theory. Additionally, the study reveals that higher percentages of female entrepreneurs are associated with increased carbon dioxide emissions, potentially due to increased efforts to support and develop female entrepreneurs. Conversely, a reduction in the gender gap in marriage, divorce, remarriage, and domestic violence leads to a shift away from entrepreneurial activities among women, positively impacting the environment.

Authors: Dewan Abdalla , Tantawi Passent , Amara Dalia Fahmy
Published: July 2023

Although there is a growing interest in socially driven Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and their importance for developing countries, there is still a lack of understanding of the importance of social value orientation (SVO) and social entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) and their contribution to organizational performance. The objectives of this research are to investigate the impact of social entrepreneurial orientation and social value orientation on organizational social and economic performance. The methodology used in this research is based on quantitative analysis by using a questionnaire to gather the required data. Structural equation model analyses (SEM) using AMOS software were used to analyze the data. The main conclusions drawn from this study are the direct effect between social value orientation and organizational performance (economic performance, social performance) is statistically significant, and the direct effect between social entrepreneurial orientation and organizational performance (economic performance, social performance) is statistically significant. The findings of this research have several implications for the development of socially driven small and medium enterprises: First, it highlights the importance of SVO and SEO in the success of socially driven SMEs, demonstrating that these orientations can positively impact organizational social and economic performance. Furthermore, the findings of this research serve as a basis for further research into the impact that SVO and SEO have on organizational performance and can provide guidance for academics, policymakers and practitioners. Finally, this research can also be used to inform the development of strategies and policies to promote the growth of socially driven SMEs in developing countries.

Effects of Comparative Metabolism on Tomato Fruit Quality under Different Levels of Root Restriction
Authors: Gao Yaqing , Zhou Xinyuan , Liang Hao , Ji Yanhai , Liu Mingchi
Published: July 2023

In a soilless culture (perlite substrate), root restriction cannot only reduce production costs but also improve fruit quality. Therefore, this study used different levels of root restriction [T1: 0.5 L, T2: 4 L, nonrestriction treatment (CK): 35 L] on tomatoes to explore their impact on quality. Results showed that total soluble solids (TSS), glucose, fructose, and sucrose contents were increased, whereas L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine, and titratable acidity were decreased under two restriction treatments. Meanwhile, root restriction also promoted the accumulation of phenylalanine and proline. For lycopene and flavonoid biosynthesis (prunin, naringin, naringenin), the restriction groups were significantly higher than those in the control group. Overall, T1 and T2 treatment had a better effect than CK treatment. This study provided an idea for improving substrate use efficiency and tomato quality.

Passionfruits (Passiflora sp.) are widely grown throughout tropical regions of the world. Burgeoning new interest in this fruit in both its fresh and processed forms has led to an increase in planting outside of traditional growing zones. Passionfruit production has increased steadily in the United States and its territories since the 2002 US Department of Agriculture Census of Agriculture; however, little is known about how the industry functions across production areas. To assess passionfruit growers’ production practices and support their needs, we conducted a survey during 2021. That survey consisted of 45 questions pertaining to various aspects of passionfruit production, including horticultural practices, pest management, cultivars grown, and industry challenges and needs. The objectives of the survey were to identify where passionfruit is currently grown in the United States, what production practices are being used, and what problems are being encountered so that researchers and extension personnel could provide remedies in the future. Forty-four surveys were complete and allowed for data analyses. Florida had the most responses (21), followed by Puerto Rico (12), California (6), Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, and the Virgin Islands. Most of the passionfruit production in the United States comprises purple passionfruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis) or intraspecific red types at 68.2%. This value is driven by the high amounts of purple passionfruit and red passionfruit in Florida and other states. In contrast, nearly all farms in Puerto Rico grow yellow passionfruit (P. edulis f. flavicarpa) and fewer purple types. The main obstacle to obtaining optimum production was labor availability. Managing passionfruit, like many other specialty crops, is labor-intensive and includes many activities that require manual labor, such as weeding, training, pruning, pollination, and harvesting. Other obstacles that were noted were weather variability, vine decline, poor pollination, and availability of high-quality cultivars. Diseases, especially fungal diseases, are of particular concern to growers of passionfruit in the United States, although the identification of specific diseases was limited. Online delivery methods of information ranked high on the list of desired products. Online articles, such as those offered by extension services, were the most preferred, followed by webinars, which comprise a more recently developed method of information delivery. Overall, the survey provided baseline information to further develop initiatives to aid passionfruit production within the United States.
Quality characteristics of milk ice cream with citrus fibers and gum
Authors: Landikhovskaya A. V. , Tvorogova A. A.
Published: July 2023

Currently at least 4 food additives — emulsifiers and hydrocolloids — are used for ice cream production to stabilize its structure. However adding these substances reduces the demand for this product among healthy lifestyle adepts. The aim of the research was to define the possibility of using citrus fibers and their compositions together with guar and xanthan gums to stabilize the milk ice cream structure. Samples with gelatin and a complex stabilizer (emulsifier) were used as control samples. It was established that adding of citrus fibers in amount of 0.6% makes the product bitter, does not provide the required level of dynamic viscosity of the mixture, it forms an unstable air phase and large ice crystals. The combination of dietary fibers with gums had a positive effect on these quality characteristics. The highest dispersion of ice crystals (average size accounted for 36–39 μm) and dynamic viscosity of the mixture, comparable with the quality characteristics of the sample with a complex stabilizeremulsifier, was achieved in the sample with added fibers and xanthan gum. The sample with dietary citrus fiber and guar gum showed better characteristics in terms of heat resistance in comparison with the samples with fiber only, as well as samples with plain fiber and guar gum. After 60 min of thermostating, the mass fraction of melt was equal to 7%, which is 2.8 and 2 times less than in samples without gums and with xanthan gum. The correlation was found between the parameter “hardness” and the parameter “thermal stability”: the hardest samples showed the highest resistance to melting. Based on the results of the research, the expediency of using combinations of citrus fibers and guar gum or xanthan gum in the production of ice cream with a limited number of food additives was established. Meanwhile it is necessary to take into account the state of structural elements during the product storage, and using the packaging that helps preserve the shape of the ice cream portion.

Published: July 2023

Virtual environments have numerous potentials for assisting the general public in experiencing cultural heritage, complementing current tools and practices centered on tangible goods such as museums, exhibitions, books, and visual content. Video games designed for educational purposes, which are becoming increasingly popular, have emerged as a new method of learning cultural content engagingly. The learning experience's specific goal distinguishes the educational use of video games. There is little doubt that we can learn from video games, but the more difficult questions about who, what, where, why, and how quickly we learn are not easily answered. This study examines the role of commercial video games in history learning and aims to enhance their effectiveness by analyzing their potential and limitations, using strategic planning and network analysis models. Through a case study on the Lotf Ali Khan game, it identifies strategies for improving history education through commercial video games. In this case study, it can be utilized to establish a conceptual framework for current trends in deployments of the past in historically focused video games, as well as a SWOT-ANP analysis to determine the major ways in which historical video games can aid in learning the subject matter under assessment. The data for this case study includes secondary sources and documents, fieldwork, observations, and semi-structured interviews with fifteen participants, as with other case studies (experts and children). Following the results, successful implementation occurs when a video game fully utilizes the following opportunities: antiquarian, monumental, and critical elements; wish story; composite imagination; borrowed authenticity; historical provenance; and legitimacy

Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the concept of “looting” and the description of the characteristic criminal law elements and signs of this military offense. The relevance of the presented material lies in the fact that there are not enough highly qualified specialists in the field of military-criminal and military-administrative legislation in Ukraine, that has a negative effect on the correct qualification of military offenses, the level of which has significantly increased against the background of full-scale military aggression by the Russian Federation. The aim of the article lies in formulation and suggestions regarding a decision on peculiarities of the criminal law characteristics of looting and distinguishing this offense from the related offenses against property. The research is based on the use of scientific methods of general scientific and special-legal levels. The obtained results allow to claim that looting is a crime of war or local armed conflict, committed by violent or non-violent means of misappropriation of personal belongings of the killed or wounded. The place of commission of this war crime can only be a battlefield or rear areas which are subjected to artillery, mortar, and rocket fire.
Abu Nu‛aym Al-Iṣfahānī (d. 430/1038): His Professional Life
Authors: Al-Kaisi Meis
Published: July 2023

Abu Nu‛aym al-Iṣfahānī (d. 430/1038), a celebrated scholar and author of many works, famed for his Ḥilya, and mostly remembered as a Sufi advocate, historiographer, and hadith traditionist. Despite his renowned reputation, one struggles to find much research concerning his life and works. Classical Arabic literature presents some information about him in scattered short biographical entries. Modern scholarship has even less to offer in this regard. None of the existent sources presents a biography that delivers a precise examination of Abu Nu‛aym’s life, journeys, teachers, students and works, all in one place. This paper is a sequel to my previously published piece entitled “Abu Nu‛aym al-Iṣfahānī (d. 430/1038): Conflicting Opinions” which evaluates the opinions of Abu Nu‛aym’s supporters and critics. Published by “Teosofia” in December 2021, the article examines the praise Abu Nu‛aym had received from his proponents as well as the criticism from his opponents. In this current paper the focus is on Abu Nu‛aym’s professional life. It includes lists of all his teachers, students, and works, along a detailed presentation of which of Abu Nu‛aym’s works have been published, which survived in only manuscript form and which are considered lost. This paper is meant to complement the previous one and together present a concise biography that treats all the details of Abu Nu‛aym’s life. This paper is the result of many years of search for information about Abu Nu‛aym in primarily classical sources, but also modern literature, as well manuscript and library catalogues for details on the available manuscript copies and printed editions of his works.
Henry Armand Giroux's Thought: An Essential Component of Critical Pedagogy in Religions
Authors: Mariani Evi
Published: July 2023

Education is essentially a vehicle for honing students' critical and political attitudes in order to create a truly democratic society. Schools as formal educational institutions have so far been interpreted as successors to the status quo, but in fact the role of schools can be more meaningful, namely as a democratic public space, in which teachers play an important role as transformative intellectuals. In the context of transformation, teachers act as designers of classroom conditions and mentors for students to engage in critical dialogue that makes students aware of their current and future roles in a democratic society. Teachers can act as intellectuals when the school system provides opportunities for teachers to be different, create and innovate based on multicultural religions.
Half-hearted Inclusivism: The Theological Doctrine of Salvation in the Document of Lumen Gentium and the Fate of Others
Authors: Sahertian Novita Loma , Ming David , Ichwan Mohammad Nor
Published: July 2023

This article examines the salvation concept in the Lumen Gentium document. The concept of salvation in the Christian tradition is based not only on the cross but also on the Lumen Gentium document, which guarantees safety for adherents of religions other than Christianity. This article aims to explain the doctrine of Christian Salvation through the Lumen Gentium document, analyze the debates and variations of views that exist in Christian theology regarding the fate of adherents of other religions, and look at the responses of Christian churches and theologians to these challenges and dilemmas about the fate of others. The approach used in writing this article is an analysis of the literature, which involves the study of theology, the study of ecclesiastical documents, and the study of the views of Christian theologians on soteriology. This article reveals that soteriology emphasizes the importance of explicit faith in Christ as the only way of Salvation stated in Christian teachings. However, there are debates and various views in Christian theology regarding the fate of those who embrace other religions. Some theologians try to embrace religious diversity by arguing that Salvation can be found in other religions through the grace of God working through Christ without explicit knowledge of Him. Meanwhile, some maintain the exclusive view that faith in Christ is the only way to Salvation. Soteriology shows that faith in Christ as the work of Salvation accomplished through His death on the Cross is the core of the Christian understanding of Salvation. But in the context of the fate of others, there are various views in Christian theology. Based on this fact, the inclusivism built by the Lumen Gentium document seems half-hearted. Therefore a healthy theological dialogue and more profound understanding are needed to respond to this complex challenge and to promote an inclusive experience and widespread love for all human beings.

Published: July 2023

Objective: study of the antiradical and antioxidant activity of water, water-alcohol and alcohol extracts obtained from alfalfa sickle grass. Materials and methods. As an object of research of the antiradical and antioxidant activities of water, water-alcohol and alcohol extracts of alfalfa sickle, the grass of alfalfa sickle in the flowering stage, which was harvested in the Russian Federation in the Kursk region, was considered. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using a titrimetric method based on the result of the interaction of substances of a reducing nature that are present in extracts from alfalfa sickle grass and potassium permanganate used as a titrant. Antiradical activity was studied by spectrophotometric method based on the ability of extracts to inactivate DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The content of phenolic compounds (direct spectrophotometry) in terms of chlorogenic acid and flavonoids (differential spectrophotometry) in terms of rutin was determined. Statistical analysis was used to process the data obtained as a result of experiments. Results. Processing of the results of data obtained during experiments to determine the level of antioxidant and antiradical activity for various concentrations of aqueous, water-alcohol and alcohol extractants from alfalfa sickle grass confirmed the presence of such effects for all types of extracts studied. Under experimental conditions with the use of 30% ethanol as an extractant, the maximum atioxidant activity was observed at the level of 58.55%. The use of 96% ethanol as an extractant showed similarly the maximum antioxidant activity, at the level of 56.63%, which is slightly less, but significantly exceeds other indicators. The content of flavonoids was fixed at the maximum level (0.51%) when using 30% ethanol. Under the same conditions, phenolic compounds were recorded with an index of 0.88%. The results obtained visualize a direct correlation between the level of antioxidant activity of the studied object of the herb Medicago falcata L. and the level of phenolic compounds in it. As for the use of 96% ethanol as an extractant, then in this extraction the content of hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids was less (0.14% and 0.04% respectively). Conclusion. The resulting data from a series of experiments on alfalfa sickle grass collected during the flowering phase confirm the prospects of medicinal plant raw materials Medicago falcata L. as a raw material having antioxidant activity, which makes it possible to consider it as a basis for continuing pharmacological research.
ENTRE MARIONETES, MACACOS DE PELÚCIA E APARELHOS AUDITIVOS
Authors: Vieira Neves Gabriele
Published: July 2023

Ao longo dos anos, o olhar do poder normalizador dos ouvintes sobre as infâncias surdas não tem sido para a sua surdidade, para a sua experiência singular de ser-surdo-no-mundo, mas sim, para o aspecto biológico dos seus corpos que as coloca fora da curva da normalidade. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo é identificar vestígios e testemunhos da objetificação dos corpos e das infâncias surdas pela medicina, pela escola e pela família, nas imagens produzidas pelas artistas Nancy Rourke e Susan Dupor. Utilizou-se como referencial teórico-metodológico os estudos de Foucault (2012), Benjamin (2017), Nussbaum (1995), Martins & Klein (2012), Skliar (2005), Lopes (2007), entre outros autores do campo dos Estudos Surdos e da filosofia da linguagem. À mercê das escolhas da família e dos médicos, as crianças surdas têm o desafio de se descobrirem e de se afirmarem surdas na contramão do discurso da normalidade. É dessa queda de braços entre uma espécie de ortopedia da natureza e o desejo de permanecer surdo que emerge a surdidade. Ambas artistas estudadas presentam as crianças surdas como objetos sem, no entanto, reduzi-las a condição de objeto. Assim, num gesto de resistência política, apresentam os embates coletivos da surdidade frente ao poder normalizador que buscou intervir e controlar massivamente seus corpos e condutas infantes.

RESUMO

 

Este artigo é o desdobramento de uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo integrativa da literatura, cujo principal objetivo é analisar o impacto da educação como instrumento de mobilidade social, levando em conta as concepções de pobreza e desigualdade social, bem como as políticas desenvolvidas com o escopo de garantir e aperfeiçoar a educação, a exemplo da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica. A busca aos estudos sobre o tema resultou na amostra final composta de cinco artigos, obtidos por meio da plataforma SciELO, embora também tenha havido tentativas infrutíferas à base de dados Spell. Os resultados demonstraram que a relação entre a educação, pobreza e desigualdades está pautada em um debate reflexivo e crítico, no sentido de que a educação pode ser sim um elemento decisivo na superação das mazelas sociais, desde que deixe de ser um espaço de privilégios para poucos, e caminhe cada vez mais da direção do seu caráter universal. Embora o trabalho tenha encontrado resultados importantes sobre a temática discutida, algumas lacunas foram observadas nas três principais dimensões ora tratadas nesse estudo. Apontando para possibilidades de estudos voltados para os aspectos quantitativos sobre as implicações concretas da educação para superação da pobreza e da desigualdade social.

reificação da consciência atrelada ao vazio do homem contemporâneo
Authors: Yukari Schiavinato Nakata Natasha , Schimanski dos Santos Flávia Regina , De Freitas Silva Tatiana
Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste ensaio é analisar o significado filosófico da escultura Melancholy, de Albert György, a partir da reificação da consciência compreendida por Theodor Adorno. Almejamos que, por meio desta relação, o leitor possa compreender como a razão, pelo viés da indústria, transformou-se em mercadoria de uma sociedade que padroniza os indivíduos de acordo com seus moldes capitalistas, promovendo a reificação da consciência. As reflexões partiram das discussões proporcionadas pela disciplina Teoria Crítica e Educação do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP de Marília e por meio do GEPEITC - Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisa em Educação, Infância e Teoria Crítica da Universidade Estadual de Londrina - UEL. Para este estudo, optamos por uma metodologia de cunho qualitativo, com estudo bibliográfico à luz dos fundamentos da Teoria Crítica da Sociedade, pautando-nos principalmente nas obras de Adorno e Horkheimer, e em autores que dialogam com essa corrente filosófica. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de uma formação cultural problematizadora, que proporcione reflexões críticas sobre a atual conjuntura, a fim de formar sujeitos emancipados, capazes de enfrentar o sistema capitalista.

EDUCAÇÃO E DEMOCRACIA
Authors: Roque da Silva Max Rodolfo
Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir sobre as contribuições do pensador alemão Theodor W. Adorno para uma educação de resistência ao autoritarismo e em defesa da democracia. Quando de seu retorno ao Instituto de Pesquisa Social de Frankfurt, Adorno se mostrou interessado em refletir sobre a persistência dos pressupostos nazifascistas, inserindo a educação no debate mais amplo de suas formas de enfrentamento e superação. Ao que parece, o centro de sua reflexão passa diretamente pela formação de um sujeito que não se deixe levar cegamente por uma liderança autoritária e que seja capaz de refletir por si próprio. Neste sentido, ancorando-se em ensaios escritos por Adorno e textos de comentadores, espera-se lançar luzes sobre uma questão latente em nossa sociedade, que exige da educação um posicionamento e uma atuação assente com as exigências colocadas pelo nosso tempo.

Discutir aspectos relacionados à avaliação, sobretudo no espaço escolar, requer muito cuidado, uma vez que aborda procedimentos que estão relacionados à prática didático-pedagógica, envolvendo assim, crianças, jovens, adultos e idosos, ou seja, pessoas, professores e alunos. Diante desta problemática resolveu-se realizar este trabalho, visando conhecer a realidade de uma escola da zona rural do município de Santana do Matos/RN, no que diz respeito aos aspectos da avaliação numa instituição educativa. O presente estudo assume uma abordagem qualitativa, que trabalha com o universo de significados, fazendo o uso da pesquisa bibliográfica utilizando livros e artigos sobre avaliação da aprendizagem utilizando os escritos de Luckesi (2011) Sobrinho, Morais, Garcia (2017), Hadji (2001), dentre outros; trata-se também de pesquisa de campo, onde fomos in lócus em uma escola da zona rural do município pesquisado, em que, na oportunidade foi realizada uma entrevista estruturada com a direção, coordenação e uma professora da instituição com relação a nota do IDEB e de como se dá o processo avaliativo na referida escola. Sabendo que a avaliação é um processo muito importante na vida dos alunos e dos professores, concluímos que de modo geral a instituição faz o uso de metodologias diversas  e estratégias inovadoras avaliativas no processo ensino-aprendizagem, facilitando a compreensão do aluno sobre diversos objetos de conhecimentos, fazendo com que estes compreendam e percebam cada vez melhor o desenvolvimento da sua aprendizagem, aspecto este que pode ser melhorado.
MATERIALIDADE SÓCIO-HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL SOB UMA CONSTRUÇÃO DIALÉTICA DA LINGUAGEM

Published: July 2023

This work is an excerpt from the dissertation presented to the Master's Program in Teacher Training at the State University of Paraíba and continued in the doctorate by the Graduate Program in Language and Teaching at the Federal University of Campina Grande, aiming to develop an educational proposal for the Archive Municipal Public of Campina Grande-PB, through pedagogical workshops under the methodological perspective of Bakhtinian studies, taking into account the socio-historical and cultural context of discursive genres, found in the documentary collection and the cultural formation of teachers. The educational product developed during the master's research was based on the dissemination of the documentary collection, as well as on encouraging the ability to read through verbal and non-verbal texts from the activities carried out in the pedagogical workshops. With regard to the procedure and data collection, interviews were conducted (semi-structured and via Google Forms) with local officials and education professionals. In order to meet the proposed objectives, we resorted to the theoretical contribution of Bakhtin (2016; 2010), Di Camargo (2020), Faraco (2009) and the Bakhtin circle in dialogue, seeking to interact satisfactorily with the conditions of discourse and dialogical relationship of the most diverse genres found in the documentary collection, the locus of the research. It is concluded that the educational proposal developed served as a means of interaction between the archive, the teacher and the school, which in turn addresses themes involving cultural, economic and social aspects, contributing to the social and cultural formation of the subjects involved.
Deciphering the Metabolome under Stress: Insights from Rodent Models

Published: July 2023

Despite intensive research efforts to understand the molecular underpinnings of psychological
stress and stress responses, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely elusive. Towards
this direction, a plethora of stress rodent models have been established to investigate the effects of exposure
to different stressors. To decipher affected molecular pathways in a holistic manner in these
models, metabolomics approaches addressing altered, small molecule signatures upon stress exposure
in a high-throughput, quantitative manner provide insightful information on stress-induced systemic
changes in the brain. In this review, we discuss stress models in mice and rats, followed by mass spectrometry
(MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics studies. We particularly focus
on acute, chronic and early life stress paradigms, highlight how stress is assessed at the behavioral and
molecular levels and focus on metabolomic outcomes in the brain and peripheral material such
as plasma and serum. We then comment on common metabolomics patterns across different stress
models and underline the need for unbiased -omics methodologies and follow-up studies of metabolomics
outcomes to disentangle the complex pathobiology of stress and pertinent psychopathologies.

Published: July 2023

Background:

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women globally,
which poses a significant public health threat on a global scale. Continuous updates of the recent development
in terms of drug development and diagnosis are the key to decoding the complexity of the
location-specific different forms of breast cancer. The aim of this review is to sifter out the current advances
and status of drugs, treatments, therapies and technologies related to breast cancer.

Methodology:

The authors searched for a number of article sources, and all possible data was collected
from different databases like MEDLINE, EMBASE, Pub Med, Web of Science and Google Scholar.
to identify recent development in drug development and diagnosis.

Result:

After a detailed literature survey, it was found that in drug discovery, a number of new drug
candidates for breast cancer have completed clinical trials; in the diagnosis of breast cancer, a number
of new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), smart bra, smart vest, clinical breast exam have
developed. It was found that breast self-awareness has immense importance in the early detection of
breast cancer, which is par with the accuracy of modern diagnostic tools.

Conclusion:

An effort has been made to present all the updated data related to recent drug development,
like surveillance status of drugs in clinical trials, diagnosis and social stigma of people with
breast cancer recovery. Recent technological advances have led to the development of many devices
for the early detection of breast cancer, providing efficacy in line with the diagnostic tools that pave
the way for early treatment using effective drug candidates.

Published: July 2023

Introduction:

Giardia lamblia is a neglected parasitic infection that typically affects the
developing nations of the world. It is a microscopic intestinal parasite that is known to cause stomach
cramps, bloating, nausea and bouts of diarrhoea.

Case Presentation:

Here, we are presenting the case of a 1.5 years-old-baby with an immunocompromised
condition who got infected by Giardia lamblia. The baby with fibrosarcoma was receiving
treatment in our tertiary care centre, and later developed abdominal and minor systemic complaints.
Stool samples were collected, which showed trophozoites and cysts of Giardia.

Discussion:

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of Giardia lamblia infection in a paediatric
patient with fibrosarcoma. The patient improved after taking metronidazole for ten days.

Conclusion:

It is critical to keep a watch out for this neglected parasite, and suggested samples, particularly
stool samples, must be sent for investigation in order to diagnose and manage these cases
properly.
