Implementation of biotic interactions in niche analyses unravels the patterns underneath community composition in clownfishes
Authors: Jimenez Alberto Garcia , Broennimann Olivier , Guisan Antoine , Gaboriau Theo , Salamin Nicolas
Published: February 2023

Biotic interactions are key to understanding the ecology of species and
communities. As such, integrating biotic interactions into ecological
niche modelling methods has been a central topic of research for the
last decade. Yet, the role of biotic interactions remains overlooked.
Mutualistic systems constitute perfect study cases for analysing the
effect of biotic interactions on species niches and communities’
composition. Using the clownfish-sea anemone interaction, we integrate
mutualistic interactions into a niche quantification framework to
analyse the effect of biotic interactions in the estimation of species
niches; and competition patterns among clownfish communities. Our
results show that ignoring biotic interactions can strongly affect
species ecological niche estimations. More importantly, sea anemones
seem to mediate competition among clownfishes, structure communities and
allow coexistence in competitive environments. These findings strongly
support the importance of biotic interactions in shaping communities.
Future studies could use the proposed analytical framework, which could
also serve multiple conservation purposes.
Genomics reveals repeated landlocking of diadromous fish on an isolated island
Authors: Ara Motia , McCulloch Graham , Dutoit Ludovic , Wallis Graham , Ingram Travis
Published: February 2023

Landlocking of diadromous fish in freshwater systems can have
significant genomic consequences. For instance, the loss of the
migratory life stage can dramatically reduce gene flow across
populations, leading to increased genetic structuring, and stronger
effects of local adaptation. These genomic consequences have been
well-studied in some mainland systems, but the evolutionary impacts of
landlocking in island ecosystems are largely unknown. In this study, we
used a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach to examine the
evolutionary history of landlocking in common smelt (Retropinna
retropinna) on Chatham Island, a small isolated oceanic island 650 km
southeast of mainland New Zealand. We examined the relationship among
the Chatham Island and mainland smelt, and used coalescent analyses to
test the number and timing of landlocking events on Chatham Island. Our
genomic analysis, based on 21,135 SNPs across 169 individuals, revealed
that the Chatham Island smelt were genomically distinct from the
mainland New Zealand fish, consistent with a single ancestral
colonisation event of Chatham Island in the Pleistocene. Significant
genetic structure was also evident within the Chatham Island smelt, with
a diadromous Chatham Island smelt group, along with three geographically
structured landlocked groups. Coalescent demographic analysis supported
three independent landlocking events, with this loss of diadromy
significantly pre-dating human colonisation. Our results illustrate how
landlocking of diadromous fish can occur repeatedly across a narrow
spatial scale, and highlight a unique system to study the genomic basis
of repeated adaptation.
The efficacy and adverse events of arsenic trioxide for the patients with myelodysplactic syndrome: a systematic review and component network meta-analysis
Authors: Huang Xiaohua , Liu Yuan , Liu Ruixuan , Zou Xiaoqiu , Yang Hongyong
Published: February 2023

To systematically evaluate efficacy of regimens containing arsenic
trioxide (ATO) for the patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and
explore optimal combination. Randomized clinical trials about regimens
containing ATO were retrieved from China National Knowledge
Infrastructure, Embase, PubMed et al. With odds ratio as the effect
size, network meta-analysis and component network meta-analysis was
conducted by utilization of R and ‘netmeta’ package, after study
selection, quality assessment and data extraction. As the result,
thirty-eight RCTs were included with a total of 2089 patients, including
1257 treated by ATO containing regimen. With support therapy alone as
reference, insignificant inconsistency and heterogeneity was observed.
Although NMA did not demonstrate better efficacy of ATO alone, result of
CNMA indicated that ATO was effective in improvement of ORR
[OR=2.03(1.56, 2.64)] and CR [OR =1.66(1.24, 2.22)]. Five
ATO-containing regimens reported could effectively improve ORR, some of
them benefit in CR or HI as well. ATO+T+TCM was regarded as the optimal
combination, which improved both ORR [OR=3.11(2.08, 4.66)], CR
[OR=7.09(1.53, 32.82)] and HI [OR=2.02(1.24, 3.27)] in theory.
ATO did not increase the risk of common adverse events compared to
supportive therapy [(OR=0.90(0.67, 1.21)]. In conclusion, ATO is an
effective and well tolerant option for patients with myelodysplastic
syndrome.

BACKGROUND

COVID-19 and diabetes both contribute to large global disease burdens.

PURPOSE

To quantify the prevalence of diabetes in various COVID-19 disease stages and calculate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of diabetes to COVID-19–related severity and mortality.

DATA SOURCES

Systematic review identified 729 studies with 29,874,938 COVID-19 patients.

STUDY SELECTION

Studies detailed the prevalence of diabetes in subjects with known COVID-19 diagnosis and severity.

DATA EXTRACTION

Study information, COVID-19 disease stages, and diabetes prevalence were extracted.

DATA SYNTHESIS

The pooled prevalence of diabetes in stratified COVID-19 groups was 14.7% (95% CI 12.5–16.9) among confirmed cases, 10.4% (7.6–13.6) among nonhospitalized cases, 21.4% (20.4–22.5) among hospitalized cases, 11.9% (10.2–13.7) among nonsevere cases, 28.9% (27.0–30.8) among severe cases, and 34.6% (32.8–36.5) among deceased individuals, respectively. Multivariate metaregression analysis explained 53–83% heterogeneity of the pooled prevalence. Based on a modified version of the comparative risk assessment model, we estimated that the overall PAF of diabetes was 9.5% (7.3–11.7) for the presence of severe disease in COVID-19–infected individuals and 16.8% (14.8–18.8) for COVID-19–related deaths. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that countries with high income levels, high health care access and quality index, and low diabetes disease burden had lower PAF of diabetes contributing to COVID-19 severity and death.

LIMITATIONS

Most studies had a high risk of bias.

CONCLUSIONS

The prevalence of diabetes increases with COVID-19 severity, and diabetes accounts for 9.5% of severe COVID-19 cases and 16.8% of deaths, with disparities according to country income, health care access and quality index, and diabetes disease burden.
Toxicological Implications of Hexavalent Chromium in Humans
Authors: Das Pratyush Kumar
Published: February 2023

Heavy metals are quite important as far as industrial production is concerned. This may be attributed to several characteristic properties of the metals which include high strength, durability, high melting and/or boiling point, resistance to environmental temperatures and corrosion. Chromium (Cr) is an important heavy metal that finds wide uses in industries and manufacturing processes. Hexavalent chromium or Cr (VI) is one of the stable states of Cr with demonstrably high toxicity. The Cr (VI) is mostly released from anthropogenic sources like industrial and mining activities and is responsible for disturbing the environmental homeostasis. Cr (VI) mostly affects the environmental matrices including soil, water, and air thus leading to severe toxicity. The high mobility and solubility of Cr (VI) makes it permeable through almost all membranes including human skin. Reports indicate Cr (VI) to be a potent human carcinogen thus leading to several health issues including cancer. The present editorial discusses about the various sources of Cr (VI) toxicity in the environment along with its mode of exposure in humans. It further discusses the mechanism of Cr (VI) toxicity in humans and the effects therein. The paper concludes by highlighting the urgent need to address the situation by means of implementing strict governmental regulations along with sustainable remediation practices to control the menace.

Authors: Bondar César Iván
Published: February 2023

We present the results of the research on deceased children and their configuration as little angel (delimiting cases to spontaneous or natural abortions, children who died before delivery or shortly after birth) among the population of the Catholic faith, in the North of the Argentine Republic and the South of Paraguay. The ethnographic method, in-depth interviews and observations with different degrees of participation have been prioritized; the field work has been carried out between 2010 and 2018. We focus on the analysis on the ways of understanding, explaining and experiencing the death of the cases mentioned. We realize a particular way of constructing death in close connection to the emic category of little angel. In the types of death indicated, the post-mortem destiny will be the Third Heaven. The little angel will be given a special space in the universe of the dead. Being protector of the living, he is empowered to make the mediation relationships between the human and the sacred; namely: between men and God.
Blood Pressure in Relation to Age, Body Mass Index and Socioeconomic Status among the Khasi Women of Sohra (Cherrapunji) of Meghalaya, India
Authors: R Khongsdier
Published: February 2023

The present community study describes the nature of relationship between blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) in relation to sociodemographic factors among the Khasi mothers of Sohra (Cherrapunji), Meghalaya, India. It was found that older mothers were significantly heavier than younger mothers in terms of both body weight (p < 0.01) and BMI (p < 0.01), and the relation between age and BMI was positively significant (p < 0.01). The prevalence of underweight was about 15% and 12% among the younger and older mothers, respectively; whereas the prevalence of overweight exceeded that of underweight, and it was statistically higher (p < 0.01) in older mothers (34%) than in their younger counterparts (25%). The prevalence of hypotension was about 16% among mothers below 30 years old, which was significantly higher than among older mothers (p < 0.001). However, older mothers had a higher prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension compared to younger mothers (p < 0.001). The marginal effects of socioeconomic status on age-adjusted blood pressure in terms of household income and educational levels were not statistically significant. The regression analysis indicated a non-linear relationship between BMI and blood pressure. It was found that younger women had on average lower age-adjusted blood pressure than those with normal BMI. However, the effect of being underweight on age-adjusted blood pressure disappeared when overweight was included in the model, indicating that overweight women had on average higher age-adjusted blood pressure than underweight women in the present study. Therefore, it is likely that the positive correlation between BMI and blood pressure may predominantly be due to elevated blood pressure at higher BMI levels, especially in populations with decreasing proportion of underweight due to a rapid increase in overweight and obesity. Our findings may also have certain implications for the relation between underweight and other adverse health outcomes of undernutrition in less developed countries.
The Concept of Social Class Applied to Post-Industrial Western European Societies
Authors: Lopez Antonio
Published: February 2023

The concept of «social class» has undergone a great number of transformations during the last decades. Among them, it is worth mentioning the consideration of social class as a notion associated with the most enriched human groups within a social group, and its consideration as a pure and exclusive term of Marxism. Little or nothing, however, can be articulated from such extremely reduced theoretical assumptions. This paper aims to expose how «social class» is a concept with social implications beyond its narrative, a concept fully linked to transformative and/or revolutionary action. It also explains how its nature has been modified for post-industrial societies in Western Europe during the twentieth century, and finally, and as a direct consequence of the above, how the concept has been gradually eliminated from political and public debate in general.
Epidemics and Epidemiology
Authors: Benedicto Andreu Segura
Published: February 2023

The word Epidemiology was written for the first time in a report on the plague in Alghero in 1583. Although its etymology has it intricacy. For centuries it has been concerned with understanding and trying to control and prevent epidemics. During the cholera epidemic in London in 1848 the London Society of Epidemiology was formed. Main instrument of Public Health since then. The increase in chronic diseases-supposedly no communicable-gave way to the epidemiology of black boxes and the predominance of risk factors. And later to an enormous methodological progress increasingly complex and intricate but professionally very appealing. So few epidemiologists have experience in field control of epidemics. Thus, perhaps it is convenient to return, although partially, to the origins. Looking at the future.
Description and Comparison of Methods for the Determination of Anti-Sars-Cov-2 Antibodies
Authors: Marcela Aznar Patricia
Published: February 2023

Introduction: The SARS-COV-2 pandemic had an impact with more than 570 million cases and more than 6.8 million deaths as recorded by the United Nations by July 2022. Within the diagnostic context, a few immunological techniques for the detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies emerged, including Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). This study aimed to compare three detection techniques that have different methodological basis. The study was observational, cross-sectional and retrospective in design. Materials and Methods: Serum samples were processed by the following methodologies: CMIA and “in-house” ELISA. Results: The methodologies were quantitatively evaluated by the correlation method, and qualitatively by assessing individual and simultaneous sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion: These methodologies were designed in a health emergency context so they do not have a gold standard; thus, different algorithms are proposed to improve both the sensitivity and specificity of the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

Since the prevalence of HIV infection, Nigeria health care and the government has experienced many challenges towards achieving healthy outlook among the citizens and this struggle has continued over the years, with the consideration of the thunderous increase of the under-5 deaths caused by HIV infections in Nigeria. Therefore, this study investigates HIV infections, its treatment and under-5 deaths in Nigeria and contributes a way forward towards recuperation in achieving a healthy society among Nigerians. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to investigate the impact of HIV infections among children on under-5 deaths in Nigeria. Being an empirical study, the data used for its analysis were annual secondary data and they were obtained from World Bank indicators which is a reliable source. Findings: The findings from the result of the OLS method of analysis prove that HIV infections increase under-5 deaths at 1% significant level in Nigeria. The result also proved that treatment of HIV victims definitely reduces under-5 deaths in Nigeria at 1% significant level.
Unexpected Historical Trends in Elemental and Stable Isotope of Carbon and Nitrogen Composition of Brazilian Banknotes: A Potential Tool for Money Counterfeiting Analysis
Authors: Mascarenhas Ricardo de Oliveira
Published: February 2023

In this paper, we did a broad prospective survey on the use of elemental concentration and carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of Brazilian banknotes as a forensic tool to help elucidate cases of money counterfeiting. We analyzed C and N concentrations, and carbon (expressed as 13C) and nitrogen (expressed as 15N) isotopic ratios of 177 banknotes issued from 1944 to 2013 of different banknote denominations and with several replicates of the same denomination. As money paper is composed of vegetal C3 plant constituents, such as cotton, wood, or linen, we compared our results to known Brazilian C3 plant elemental and isotopic composition. We found a lower coefficient of variability (CV) among same year banknotes, compared to plants. The CVs were nearly constant with the banknote age for the parameters analyzed. As in nature, the lowest CVs were observed for carbon concentration and 13C values (1%), followed by nitrogen concentration and C:N ratio (14%), and 15N values (24%). We found historical trends in banknotes’ N concentration, C:N ratio and 13C values. The historic trends found here open the opportunity to use such changes as a forensic tool in money counterfeiting analysis. However, more studies are needed to establish a solid basis for this purpose, such as the analysis of counterfeit banknotes, banknotes from different countries, and fiber analysis.

Mental Resilience in Schools. The Necessity of Developing Prevention and Intervention Programs
Authors: Ioannidou Louiza
Published: February 2023

The concept of mental resilience refers to the individual’s ability to display positive adaptive behaviors when dealing with complex and adverse situations. Many studies in the last decades have examined mental resilience in adults, children, education, and work context. In particular, the cultivation of mental resilience in childhood is essential since critical abilities and skills are developed during this period for better adaptation to the environment and the demands of modern life. Moreover, the earlier resilience is encouraged in individuals, the better they will cope with challenging conditions and stressful situations at different stages of their lives. The article emphasizes the necessity of developing prevention and intervention programs to strengthen and promote children’s mental resilience and well-being.

This article presents a study that consists of evaluating how adolescents understand and perceive conflicts with their parents, as well as their discrepancies in the perception of these conflicts. The study was carried out with a small sample of 74 schoolaged adolescents, of both sexes, in the specific period of adolescence from 13 to 15 years old, students at a private school in the city of Santos-SP-Brazil. A questionnaire was created for this study due to the scarcity of research instruments on the subject in published literature. Research on conflicts between parents and adolescents by Bosma, Laursen, Coy and Noller is the basis of this study. This study suggests that the relationship between parents and children clearly changes in the pubertal phase of the children, although there is evidence of the strength or importance that these changes have for each of the members of the relationship.
Islamic Origins of Psychotherapy: An Introduction
Authors: Ali Abdul
Published: February 2023

Psychotherapy which is usually taken to be a recently developed branch of medicine, had already been highly developed by medieval Muslim physicians. Some of them specialized in it and made a systematic study of psychological diseases and their treatment. After the rise of Islam the Arab-Muslim physicians made trmendous progress in all branches of medicine including psychotherapy. Inspired and influenced by the Quranic psychotherapy-related teachings, they richly contributed to both the learning and teaching of medicine including psychiatry. They also introduced the psychotherapeutic means of treatment in the hospitals built and maintained by them. They also exerted a lasting influence on medicine and psychotherapy in the West through translations of their works in Latin and other European languages. But while their achievements in the fields of general medicine, pharmacy and surgery are adequately acknowledged by some historians of medicine, their contribution to the development of psychotherapy is comparatively little known even to the educated and cultured few all over the world. Some basic features of it are briefly introduced below.

El trabajo colaborativo representa una base de mejora para el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las matemáticas en el nivel educativo superior y las Comunidades Profesionales de Aprendizaje (CPA) constituyen una herramienta útil para tal propósito. En esta investigación se tuvo como objetivo aplicar los postulados de la Metodología de Sistemas Suaves (MSS) y CPA a fin de establecer las bases para la construcción de una metodología sistémica que promueva cambios en la práctica docente. Se efectuó un taller dirigido a profesores en donde se analizaron técnicas de colaboración entre pares y el desarrollo de materiales didácticos digitales para mejorar su práctica docente. Las entrevistas y observaciones se interpretaron mediante tres esquemas de codificación: 1) para comprender las respuestas de los participantes a lo largo del taller, 2) para examinar las propuestas de enseñanza que implementan con sus estudiantes y 3) para capturar oportunidades de aprendizaje en las CPA. Con base en el planteamiento teórico adoptado y los resultados obtenidos, se identificaron varios elementos de la MSS y CPA que abonan al mejoramiento de la práctica docente y a la calidad del aprendizaje de las matemáticas de nivel superior: desde aceptar la existencia del problema e interpretarlo en una forma ordenada hasta describir las definiciones raíz del sistema, así como sus interrelaciones.
Arjen auttajien matkassa – kotihoito ammattilaisten silmin
Authors: Hautsalo Katja , Salin Sirpa , Teeri Sari
Published: February 2023

Suomessa taataan iäkkäälle mahdollisuus asua kodissaan myös sairaana ja toimintakyvyn rajoittuessa kotihoidon palveluiden avulla. Iäkkäiden määrän lisääntyessä kotihoidon asiakkaiden määrä kasvaa edelleen ja ammattilaisia kotihoitoon tarvitaan lisää. Kotihoitotyön imago on heikko ja alaa vaivaa työvoimapula. Aikaisempi tutkimus osoittaa, että kotihoitotyöhön sisältyy fyysistä ja henkistä kuormitusta aikapaineen ja rajallisten resurssien vuoksi. Nämä huomiot nousevat esille usein myös julkisessa keskustelussa. Sen sijaan työn mielekkyyttä lisäävät piirteet, kuten läheinen kontakti asiakkaisiin, työn vaihtelevuus ja autonomia, ovat vähemmän esillä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvata kotihoidon ammattilaisten kokemuksia työstään. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tuottaa tietoa, jota voidaan hyödyntää kotihoidon kehittämisessä, alan vetovoiman lisäämisessä sekä alan julkisuuskuvan laajentamisessa aiempaa myönteisemmäksi.
Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin ryhmähaastatteluilla, etäkokoussovelluksen avulla kahden maakunnan alueelta vuonna 2020 osana Veto- ja pitovoimaa kotihoitoon -hanketta. Osallistujina oli yhteensä 30 kotihoidon ammattilaista. Tutkimustehtävänä oli selvittää, miten kotihoidon ammattilaiset kuvaavat työtään. Aineisto analysoitiin aineistolähtöisellä sisällön analyysillä.
Tulokset osoittavat, että kotihoitotyötä tehdään asiakaslähtöisen työskentelyn kautta vaihtelevassa ja monimuotoisessa työympäristössä. Kotihoitotyön imago on heikko. Työskentely edellyttää joustavaa työn organisointia sekä osaamista muuttuvissa ja yllätyksellisissä tilanteissa. Kotihoidon kehittämiskohteita ovat kuntouttavan ja moniammatillisen työotteen lisääminen, asiakaslähtöisten teknologioiden hyödyntäminen, joustavuuden lisääminen palveluiden toteuttamisessa sekä alalle tulevien perehdyttäminen ja mentorointi. Tutkimuksen tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää kotihoidon kehittämisessä sekä yhteiskunnallisesti kotihoidon julkisuuskuvan laajentamisessa. Näillä toiminnoilla on mahdollista lisätä kotihoitotyön veto- ja pitovoimaa.

Published: February 2023

The fruitfulness of biofertilizer application in increasing plant growth and yield is when the formulation uses selected microbial isolates that do not cause disease to plants. Hypersensitivity test is carried out to ensure that the microbial isolates used in the formulation of biofertilizer are not pathogenic to plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the pathogenicity of three selected potassium solubilizing bacteria (KSB) isolates (BPK-DHJ3-3150[17], BPK-DHJ1-4125[2], and BPKDHJ2-5250[16]) isolated from the maize plant rhizosphere on Inceptisols Jatinangor. The research was conducted using a qualitative experimental method that obtained data in the form of visual photos. The three selected KSB isolates were inoculated on tobacco leaves and observed for necrosis symptoms. The experimental results showed that the three selected KSB isolates did not cause a positive hypersensitivity reaction in tobacco leaves, which was indicated by the absence of necrosis symptoms at the leaf location where the KSB isolates were inoculated. The three KSB isolates were nonpathogenic isolates to plants.
Estimaciones trimestrales de pobreza multidimensional en México mediante algoritmos de aprendizaje de máquina
Authors: Rincón Ratzanyel
Published: February 2023

Este artículo aborda la falta de información oportuna sobre la pobreza multidimensional en México. Tres algoritmos de aprendizaje de máquina —la regresión LASSO logística, el bosque aleatorio y las máquinas de vectores de soporte— son entrenados con la ENIGH para encontrar patrones generalizables de pobreza multidimensional en los datos. Los modelos se utilizan para clasificar a cada individuo en la ENOE como pobre o no-pobre para obtener tasas de pobreza trimestrales. Estas estimaciones son más cercanas a los niveles de pobreza multidimensional que la pobreza laboral y brindan una perspectiva precisa sobre la pobreza con más de un año de antelación a la medición oficial.

Entre el cuerpo y Amavet: Planes y programas en Educación Física. El Profesorado y Licenciatura en Educación Física UNLP- FaHCE
Authors: Visciglia Bárbara S.
Published: February 2023

El presente escrito pretende indagar sobre aquellas concepciones teóricas que circulan en los planes de estudio del Profesorado y la Licenciatura en Educación Física en la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, en torno al cuerpo, y si es visible la teoría de Amavet en relación a dicho concepto, tanto en estos planes como en los programas de las materias Educación Física I a V. Pensar la teoría amavetiana se vuelve sustancial, dado que dicho autor fue el creador de la carrera del profesorado en Educación Física en la Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Asimismo, problematizar el concepto de cuerpo en el plan permite ampliar la perspectiva en términos conceptuales, así como visibilizar e indagar las teorías que forman parte de él. En síntesis, el estudio comenzará analizando la teoría amavetiana en torno al concepto de cuerpo, para, luego de establecer ese marco teórico, realizar un análisis y reflexión en torno a dicho concepto en los documentos ya establecidos, al tiempo que indagará qué otras teorías circulan en torno al cuerpo.
Legitimación de la orientación en Educación Física en el nivel medio argentino: el caso de las escuelas en los clubes desde una perspectiva socio antropológica
Authors: Balaguer Franco
Published: February 2023

Este artículo de investigación se desprende de una tesis de maestría donde se indagan los procesos de subjetivación de jóvenes que asisten a la escuela de un club en la ciudad de Córdoba. El foco de la investigación está puesto en el ciclo orientado en Educación Física que posee esta institución educativa, con énfasis en las prácticas deportivas y la apropiación que realizan sus actores respecto de estas. El objetivo de este artículo es contextualizar históricamente el proceso de legitimación de la orientación en Educación Física en el nivel medio para, luego, vincularlo con la instalación de escuelas en clubes en el marco de un proceso de expansión, fragmentación y diversificación del sistema educativo. En términos metodológicos se utiliza un enfoque socio antropológico, por lo que se emplean herramientas etnográficas como: entrevistas individuales abiertas, observaciones de campo, revisión y análisis de normativa educativa y de noticias en medios de comunicación, entre otras. Los resultados presentados en este trabajo son parciales, debido a que la tesis no está concluida. Sin embargo, las conclusiones a las que se arriba en referencia a este artículo tienen que ver con que las escuelas de los clubes hacen un uso diferencial del deporte respecto de las instituciones estatales con orientación en Educación Física, basándose en la legitimidad social que poseen las prácticas deportivas y en la oportunidad de presentar una oferta educativa distintiva en el marco de la privatización y diversificación educativa.

Authors: Viñes Nicolás , Renati Maria Cecilia , Perazzo Soledad Luján , Inama Juana
Published: February 2023

El trabajo presenta avances de una investigación que hace eje en las perspectivas teóricas sobre el juego en tanto contenido a ser enseñado, en los Diseños Curriculares Jurisdiccionales (DCJ) de la formación superior en Educación Física en Argentina. Puntualmente, el escrito trabaja sobre 3 DCJ, dado que nominan sus asignaturas como “Prácticas lúdicas” y, por ello, presentan sentidos actuales de lo que se busca analizar en el presente trabajo, lo “lúdico” en tanto categoría. Para este análisis, primero, se presentarán algunas críticas interesantes de Grillo acerca de pensar lo lúdico como una cualidad natural y de Rivero en torno al uso adjetivado que se hace del concepto, debido a que presentan miradas locales que discuten directamente con el sentido que circula en los diseños. Segundo, se desarrollarán las ideas de Benveniste debido a su utilidad teórica al momento de pensar lo lúdico superando las críticas mencionadas para luego avanzar con el análisis de los currículos de la formación respecto de lo lúdico y así poder triangular las categorías sociales y las analíticas.

Apples, rich in phenolic compounds, are widely grown in abundance and consumed as fruit which reduces the risk of many illnesses. In this study, physico-chemical properties old apple cultivars from east of Turkey were investigated. Identification and quantification of phenolic compounds of freeze dried fresh apple varieties (fruit, pulp and peel) were analysed by using the HPLC method. Total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of samples was also found in 25.00-11.63 mg GAE/g DW and 49.86-86.12 Âµmol TE/g DW. The highest antioxidant activity was identified in the peel of the Kara Sakı apple whereas the lowest was identified in the pulp of Ak Sakı. Varieties of apple differ significantly in terms of ferulic acid and hidroxycinnamic acid. (-)-Epicatechin was found in the peel of Kara Sakı apple at the very most and p- coumaric acid was found in the pulp of Kara Sakı at the very least. Hidroxycinnamic acid was identified only in the peel. It is approved to these cultivars show unique long shelf life (unusual for apples) without any storage condition due to the significantly presence of ferulic acid.

Authors: Balkan Tarık , Kara Kenan
Published: February 2023

Sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) (Rosaceae) is a spring fruits. It is not preferred to be consumed as fresh because it is sour, but it is extremely beneficial for human health. In addition to fresh consumption, it is used in the production of fruit juice, syrup, jam, marmalade, cake and ice cream in the food industry. Sour cherry is grown widely in Tokat and 80-85% of the grown cherries are sold to juice factories. Producers mostly adopt chemical control against pests. In this respect, monitoring pesticide residues on sour cherry is extremely important. This study was carried out to determine the pesticide residue levels in samples taken from sour cherry production areas in Tokat province in 2020. The residue analyses were performed by using QuEChERS method and LC-MS / MS (Liquid Chromatography / Tandem Mass Spectrometer). According to the results, the pesticide residue levels were found below the maximum residue limits (MRL) given in Turkish Food Codex (TFC).
