O domínio semiárido brasileiro (BSD) é caracterizado por pluviosidade baixa e não homogêneas, elevada evapotranspiração e ocorrência constante de períodos de seca. Tanto a vegetação quanto os animais são adaptados para evitar a perda de água. Os habitantes das áreas mais secas do BSD constroem diferentes tipos de diques de água para armazenar as chuvas ao longo da estação chuvosa, e esse processo resulta em impactos ambientais à fauna e à flora. Neste contexto, invertebrados como aranhas e escorpiões podem responder a tais impactos alterando a sua abundância e riqueza. Testamos a hipótese de que a ocorrência da construção do açude de Negreiros, município de Salgueiro, estado de Pernambuco, Brasil causa impactos na abundância de aranhas e escorpiões edáficos. As aranhas e escorpiões foram amostradas por armadilhas de queda para invertebrados durante o período de agosto de 2022 a agosto de 2023 ao longo de quinze dias, totalizando duas coletas por mês. Um total de 448 indivíduos adultos de aranhas e escorpiões foram amostrados nas áreas caracterizadas como preservada e antropizada do açude de Negreiros. A área preservada apresentou maior número de indivíduos e maior riqueza de espécies do que a área antropizada, corroborado com a hipótese testada. Nossos resultados ainda contribuíram com o incremento dos dados sobre a ocorrência das espécies encontradas, distribuição geográfica e como as perturbações humanas tendem a afetar a abundância de aranhas e escorpiões na área da Caatinga.

Authors: Khudhur Hawrin , Al-Hassani Ansam
Published: December 2024

Background and objective: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a deadly lung illness characterized by progressive lung fibrosis and deteriorating lung function, with the uncertain origin and few therapeutic options. Chemotherapy such as Irinotecan (IRI) is the major antineoplastic agent that produces IPF and induces lung damage. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has a glutathionepre cursor that protects lung function. The present study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of N-acetylcysteine in Irinotecan induced lung toxicity.

Methods: In total, 18 female Albino rats were divided into three groups, aging from 8-12 weeks and weighing between 180-250 g. The control group G1 received 1 ml intraperitoneal (IP) normal saline for 14 days, G2 Irinotecan group was administered a single high dose of Irinotecan (300 mg/kg) intraperitoneal instillation. And G3 N-acetylcysteine group (500 mg/kg/day) orally one week before Irinotecan (300 mg/kg) injection continued to the end of 21 days of the experimental period. Histopathology, cell counts, cytokine responses in the serum (TGF-β, TNF-α, and IL-6), and weight measurements were studied to evaluate the protective effects.

Results: Histopathological study indicated the Irinotecan–induced pulmonary fibrosis with a significant increase in the levels of inflammatory cytokines, and the protective impacts of N-acetylcysteine administration attenuated the degree of inflammation and fibrosis with a reduced level of cytokines concentrations in serum.

Conclusion: N-acetylcysteine can protect the lungs from both histological alterations and activation of cytokines caused by pulmonary toxicity induced by Irinotecan.

Authors: Salih Kezhal
Published: December 2024

Background and objective: The Schiff base compound is formed by the condensation reaction of a primary amine with aldehydes or ketones to form the azomethine group RCH=N-R. This study aims to synthesize some new compounds as Schiff bases from amlodipine derivatives and study their biological activity.
Methods: Ether derivatives of benzaldehyde were synthesized using the Williamson ether synthetic method to react with 3-O-ethyl 5-O-methyl 2-(2-aminoethoxymethyl)-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (amlodipine). Another type of Schiff bases was synthesized from some derivatives of benzaldehyde without the ether group.
Results: The series of Schiff base compounds (6a–k) were obtained from the reaction of benzaldehyde derivatives (5a–k) with amlodipine (4). IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy were used for the characterization of the synthesized compounds. The antibacterial activities of both types of Schiff base compounds against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli were compared.
Conclusion: All of the synthesized ether derivatives (6a–f) showed more antibacterial activity than the derivatives of benzaldehyde (6g–k), and all of the synthesized compounds were more active against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) than Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus.

Authors:   The University of Economics in Katowice, Poland, Winnicka-Wejs Alicja
Published: December 2024

This article has cognitive value for the development of knowledge in the field of the sciences of management and quality, raising awareness of the ecological dimension of sustainable human resource management and providing the results of an own survey conducted within TFL sector entities in Poland. A survey questionnaire was developed for the purpose of the study, and a diagnostic poll based on a purposive sample and a statistical method analysis were applied. The survey data shows that the respondents from micro companies rate the environmental awareness level higher than middle-sized and large companies, and the pro-environmental behaviour of respondents from the TFL sector refers mainly to the basic level. In their view, the sustainability value is currently implemented to a limited degree. While performing pro-environmental activities in their workplace they rate organisational support higher than that of the managers. Green Human Resource Management processes are implemented in only one-third of the companies surveyed, and only 40% of the respondents believe that ecological objectives are truly executed and pro-environmental activities are important.

SnSO3/ZnSO3 nanocomposite has been synthesized using the hydrothermal process. The
complete formation of the SnSO3/ZnSO3 nanocomposite is confirmed by XRD and EDAX.
It displays a fascinating rectangular bar shape. The measured particle size is 100.4 nm. It
will be a promising option for optoelectronic devices. Energy gap of the SnSO3/ZnSO3
nanocomposite is 5.85 eV. The refractive index of the nanocomposite through its energy
gap is found to be 1.883. The ultraviolet (~387.2 nm) area of the PL emission spectrum
exhibits the strong efficient emission, while the green (~522.1 nm) region and the red
(~789.4 nm) region show weak and moderate emission, respectively. Radiative electronhole recombination is seen in the UV emission at 387.2 nm, which qualifies the contender
for displays/projection-based applications. Emission peaks observed in the visible region is
attributed to various defects Frenkel or Schottky defects, Tin or Zinc interstitials and oxygen
vacancies. The finger print region's S-O, Zn-O, and Sn-O bands are confirmed by the
accurately assigned FTIR bands. At 300K, the sample displays diamagnetic behaviour.
Additionally, at 5K, it displays an intriguing super paramagnetic behaviour between -0.15
Tesla and 0.15 Tesla.

In this study, we present an empirical investigation into the characteristics of halide double
perovskites Cs2AuSbX6 (X = Cl, Br, I) with an emphasis on structural, mechanical, and
optoelectronic, along with thermal electricity capabilities. The assessment of thermal and
structural durability involves the measurement of the enthalpy of manufacturing & the
tolerance ratio. Replacing chlorine (Cl) with bromine (Br) and iodine (I) at the same
location in the structure resulted in a surge in the lattice characteristic and a decrease in the
bulk elasticity. The calculation of the modulus for elasticity using coefficients of elasticity
demonstrated their flexible characteristics. The examination of the electrical band structure
revealed that it possesses an indirect band gap characteristic. The applicability of many
characteristics, such as the constant of dielectric, extinction coefficients, reflectivity,
electronic conductivity, heat conductivity, as well as Seebeck coefficient, is emphasized
for photovoltaic and thermal gadgets.

Dye removal processes have gained importance with the developing industries. Among
these, the fenton process, known as one of the advanced oxidation processes, is also very
important today. In our research, the bionano-fenton catalyst was prepared by attaching nano
iron to the polymer prepared using sunflower and chitosan, which are biological materials.
Subsequently, using this reagent, it was aimed to remove DB 15 dye from water and this
procedure was investigated. For this purpose, determination of optimum time, pH,
temperature, fenton reagent and catalyst amounts for dye removal was studied. In addition,
different techniques were used to examine the interactions between the obtained bionanofenton reagent and the dye. In dye removal studies, the maximum absorbance of the dye was
found by scanning it with a 598 nm spectrophotometer. In addition, using this method and
calculations, optimum time: 15 min., pH: 2 temperatures: 25o
C, H2O2 amount: 600 uL
(30%), and catalyst amounts were determined as 60 mg/L. It has been shown that 95.89%
of the paint can be removed from the environment by using this method. In addition, changes
occurring before and after dye removal were explained by SEM, TEM and photographs.

In this work, Tin oxide SnO2 hybrid structures were deposited on porous silicon substrates
via spray pyrolysis method. The impact of the current density changes ranging from 5- 15
mA/cm2 with HF concentration of 18% was investigated at fixed substrate temperature of
250Co
. The XRD analysis for nanostructures revealed the presence of tetragonal structure
of SnO2. The Scanning electron Microscope (SEM) images showed the sponge-like
structure of PSi with grooves and cavities following the deposition of SnO2 on the
substrate. It can be seen, the grain diameter arrangement of the SnO2 was found to be in
the range from 42–64 nm. The I-V characteristics showed that the resistance raises with
the current density of the SnO2/porous silicon. The optical results refers that the absorption
of SnO2 nanostructure increases with the number of spraying times for values of (10,15
and 20) respectively. Moreover, the results also revealed a degradation of the energy gap
from 3.3 to 2.82eV at the same spraying values. The higher sensitivity was found around
49.35% at etching current density of 15mA/cm2
. The structure quality of the SnO2/PSi
provides the possibility of using such structures in the high-quality sensors.

Authors: Xiao Ziqing , Tian Haiqing , Wan Daqian , Zhuo Chunxiang , Zhao Kai , Yu Yang
Published: December 2024

To address the issue of excessive soil content in straw feed after harvesting by a straw feed harvester, this study designed a dust removal apparatus. Its optimal operating parameters were determined through a combination of numerical simulations and field experiments. Using dust removal efficiency as the evaluation criterion, the Box-Behnken experiment and variance analysis revealed that the factors influencing the dust removal efficiency of the apparatus, in order of significance, were the number of dust removal drums, the aperture of the dust sieve, and the rotational speed of the dust removal drums. The optimal parameter combination consisted of 5 dust removal drums, a dust sieve aperture of 5 mm, and a drum rotational speed of 370 r/min. The dust removal efficiency obtained from numerical simulation using these optimal parameters was 94.1%, while the field verification test yielded an efficiency of 93.5%, with a relative error of 0.64% between the two results, confirming the accuracy of the numerical simulation parameters. The optimized dust removal apparatus significantly improves the quality of straw fodder by reducing dust content, which not only enhances the efficiency of straw recycling but also supports sustainable agricultural practices, promoting both mechanization and green development in the industry.

Published: December 2024

This paper examines the performance of search and multi-agent algorithms within the context of the Pac-Man game. The game is used as a platform to simulate autonomous system management tasks, where an agent must complete missions in a two-dimensional space while avoiding dynamic obstacles. Classical search algorithms such as A* and BFS, along with multi-agent approaches like Alpha-Beta, Expectimax, and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), are analyzed in terms of their effectiveness under different maze complexities and game conditions. The study explores how maze size, ghost behaviors, and environmental dynamics influence the performance of each algorithm, particularly in terms of execution time, score, and win percentage.

Teologia kapłaństwa w ujęciu integralnym. Interpretacje
Authors: Szczurek Jan Daniel
Published: December 2024

Niniejsze studium z zakresu teologii dogmatycznej stanowi kontynuację dwóch wcześniejszych opracowań, poświęconych „Podstawom biblijnym” oraz „Rozwojowi nauki Kościoła” w kontekście kapłaństwa. Obecne „Interpretacje” koncentrują się przede wszystkim na nauczaniu Soboru Watykańskiego II, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zagadnień kontrowersyjnych lub wciąż niedostatecznie wyjaśnionych, takich jak różnica między kapłaństwem wspólnym a służebnym czy rola diakonatu w strukturze sakramentu święceń. Kryterium oceny poszczególnych interpretacji stanowi zgodność z dotychczasowym nauczaniem Kościoła oraz ich wewnętrzna spójność. Analiza porusza kluczowe kwestie, takie jak natura kapłaństwa wspólnego, zakorzenionego w naturalnej zdolności człowieka do kontemplacji stworzenia oraz łasce wynikającej z sakramentów chrztu i bierzmowania; rola kapłaństwa w dziele zbawienia, obejmująca sposób, w jaki realizacja funkcji kapłańskich prowadzi do zbawienia, oraz to, co stanowi wyjątkowość kapłaństwa Chrystusa; ontologiczny i egzystencjalny wymiar kapłaństwa służebnego, oparty na nowym sposobie istnienia osoby wyświęconej, wynikającym z jej całkowitej przynależności do Chrystusa; a także natura posługi kapłańskiej (prezbiteratu i episkopatu), z uwzględnieniem diakonatu i jego relacji do kapłaństwa, istoty posługi, pośrednictwa kapłańskiego oraz kluczowych przymiotów tego powołania. Przedstawione „Interpretacje” prowadzą do dwóch zasadniczych wniosków. Po pierwsze, istnieje pilna potrzeba dalszego rozwoju i promocji teologii kapłaństwa. Po drugie, konieczne jest osobiste zaangażowanie w kapłaństwo wspólne wszystkich wierzących oraz w kapłaństwo służebne przez osoby wyświęcone – poprzez całkowite ofiarowanie siebie Bogu Ojcu przez Chrystusa w Duchu Świętym.

I artikeln ”Narrativ teknik och känsla i Hemingways ’Hills Like White Elephants’” utgår Lena Ahlin och Maria Freij från frågan huruvida det är möjligt att samtidigt vara känslomässigt berörd av en text och förhålla sig kritiskt till den. I sin undersökning av förhållandet mellan estetisk form och känslor argumenterar de för att kritisk närläsning kan vara ett helt nödvändigt första steg för att uppfatta karaktärers känslor och för att som läsare själv känna känslomässigt engagemang för en text. Analysen fokuserar på de känslor som ”Hills Like White Elephants” (Hemingway, 1927) förmedlar genom sin minimalistiska form. Ahlin och Freij diskuterar den effekt formen kan ha på läsaren men snarare än att försöka slå fast vilka känslor som kan eller bör genereras menar de att pedagogens uppgift främst är att sträva efter att ge studenterna en beredskap för att ta till sig konstverket, det vill säga, arbeta med det som Felski kallar attunement. De föreslår tre huvudområden att arbeta med i klassrummet för att uppnå en djupare textförståelse som i sin tur kan leda till attunement. Det första är kulturell och litterär kontext: vad behöver läsaren veta om modernismen för att förstå ”Hills Like White Elephants”? Det andra är analys av miljö, vilket inbegriper bland annat betydelsen av plats men också språkliga konstruktioner och symbolism. Slutligen diskuteras förhållandet mellan karaktärernas känslor och läsarens samt frågan om huruvida det är rimligt att ha som mål att dessa båda parter ska dela känslotillstånd.

EFFECT OF WATER INJECTION AT SHORT DISTANCES IN CARBONATE DEPOSITS
Authors: Garifullin A.Sh. , Gabdullina A.R.
Published: December 2024

In global oil production, there is a steady trend to increase in the share of oil extracted from carbonate reservoirs. This trend is confirmed by the example of Arlanskoe oil field. At the present stage, the continuous optimization of the development system of the base terrigenous object, as well as the creation of a rational system for the development of the second largest reserves of the Kashiro-Podolsk object, led to a stable increase in current oil production. At the Arlanskoe oil field the waterflooding system is mainly implemented using directional wells. The low efficiency of waterflooding in the carbonate formation is due to the complex geological structure and lithological features of the carbonate reservoirs. The Kashiro-Podolsk deposits are characterized by extremely low effective permeability, low oil-saturated thicknesses of the formations, as well as significant heterogeneity both in the reservoir area and in the section. This article examines the effectiveness of organizing a system, taking into account the mutual location of injection and production wells and the minimum distance between them.

Objetivo: Descrever a frequência de variáveis clínicas e sociodemográficas prévias à Enterocolite Necrosante, a frequência dos casos, complicações e óbitos, em um hospital universitário. Método: Estudo descritivo retrospectivo, realizado através da solicitação de uma query anonimizada onde foram incluídos os recém-nascidos diagnosticados com Enterocolite Necrosante de aquisição hospitalar e as variáveis prévias ao desenvolvimento da doença, no período de cinco anos. Resultados: No período do estudo ocorreram 59 casos de Enterocolite Necrosante, com uma incidência de 0,9 infecções por pacientes/dia na Unidade de Neonatologia. O desfecho cirúrgico ocorreu em 42,3% dos casos e 18,6% foram a óbito, também foram obtidas variáveis quanto à gestação, o nascimento e a internação, que puderam ser relacionadas aos casos estudados. Conclusão: A baixa oferta de leite materno de forma exclusiva, em apenas 5,1% dos casos, é um dos resultados que pode ter tido maior influência na taxa de Enterocolite Necrosante desta Unidade, sendo esta uma variável citada em muitos estudos como principal forma de prevenção da infecção. É muito importante que as equipes de neonatologia reavaliem os seus processos de cuidado, principalmente promovendo a oferta do leite humano de forma exclusiva aos bebês.

This article examines urban activism and tactical urbanism as key elements of participatory urban planning within the framework of integrated urban development. Using the case of Zhytomyr, the study highlights the positive influence of urban activism on decision-making and urban planning processes, underscoring the critical role of tactical urbanism in enhancing residents’ quality of life and preserving the city’s historical heritage. The analysis of urban activism was carried out through media screening to track information flows and identify spatial expressions of urban activism. The evaluation of urban development stakeholders by Zhytomyr residents, based on their perception, potential, and prospects, was conducted using the semantic differential method. The variability and consistency of respondents’ answers were analyzed using the box-and-whisker plot method to identify data distribution patterns, including anomalous and extreme values. The findings reveal that urban activism in Zhytomyr manifests across various scales and organizational forms. However, it remains predominantly localized and small-scale, with limited evidence of significant protest-oriented activities. Respondents identified non-governmental organizations and urban activists as having the highest potential and future prospects in urban development, while local authorities received the lowest ratings. Mapping analysis of Zhytomyr’s “Center” zone identified and visualized challenges related to the use of and interaction with public spaces. Within the scope of urban activism, phased tactical urbanism measures were proposed for the city’s central area, including workshops on public space prototyping, parklet installations, and the creation of interactive engagement spaces. These initiatives are intended to foster a more comfortable and appealing urban environment, providing a platform for testing innovative solutions and actively engaging residents in the city-making process.

The concept of urban resilience is becoming increasingly significant as cities across the globe grapple with an array of pressing challenges, including those posed by climate change, socio-political conflicts, and economic instability. In contrast to structural resilience, emergent resilience arises spontaneously in response to unforeseen challenges, namely during or at the time of the challenge. One such challenge is the Russian military aggression against Ukraine and its cities. This paper presents an initial investigation into the concept of emergent urban resilience in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. The principal aim is to develop a systematic understanding of the nature of emergent resilience in such a crisis context and to emphasize the importance of examining the phenomenon of emergent resilience in urban contexts during periods of acute crisis, as well as in the subsequent period. This represents a hitherto under-explored type of case within the resilience discourse.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria found in probiotic products that can maintain the balance of microflora in the gut. Peanut chocolate jam has the potential to be developed into a probiotic food product. However, the shelf life of this product has not been determined so it is necessary to determine the shelf life using the Accelerated Shelf Life Testing method. This method uses the Arrhenius approach. Determination of shelf life through the calculation of total lactic acid bacteria, aw value, pH value, and total acid during storage. The storage of probiotic peanut chocolate jam used three temperature treatments: 4 ℃, 30 ℃, and 37 ℃. Observations of samples stored at 4 ℃ were made every 5 days until day 25, while samples at 30 ℃ and 37 ℃ were made every 3 days until day 15. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2016 through the presentation of data in the form of a scatter diagram accompanied by a trendline and then described descriptively. The shelf life of probiotic peanut chocolate jam based on best before stored at 4 ℃, 30 ℃, and 37 ℃ were 49.52 days; 10.98 days; and 7.64 days, respectively. The jam can still be consumed up to 255.29 days; 86.73; and 66.89 days but no longer has the benefits of the probiotics.
Gamificación y el poder de la novedad: revolucionando el aprendizaje de la educación física a través de estrategias lúdicas

En la actualidad el alumnado no practica la suficiente actividad física para mantener un nivel de vida saludable. Esta falta de práctica se asocia con un descenso de las necesidades psicológicas básicas (NPB) y descenso de motivación hacia la actividad física. Para conseguir aumentar la motivación se propone emplear la gamificación; sin embargo, pocos estudios observan cómo la gamificación afecta a las NPB, y menos a la necesidad de novedad. Por ello, se trató de observar cómo la gamificación afecta a la necesidad de novedad en la asignatura de educación física en educación primaria. En el estudio participaron 99 estudiantes de primero, segundo y quinto. Estos fueron divididos en un grupo experimental (GE, n = 49) y un grupo control (GC, n = 50), habiendo participación de los tres cursos previamente nombrados en ambos grupos. Para observar el cambio en la novedad se hizo uso de un cuestionario pre y post-intervención (BPN-CS). Los resultados mostraron que el GE obtuvo aumentos de novedad, mientras que el GC no obtuvo cambios. En conclusión, la gamificación parece ser una herramienta viable para conseguir mejoras en la necesidad de novedad en el alumnado de educación física en educación primaria.

BACKGROUND: Damage of the central nervous system in COVID-19 patients includes cognitive impairment, depression, and fatigue. Clinical features of cognitive impairment after the acute phase of COVID-19 and the contribution of various factors to the development of memory deficit have not been fully studied.
AIM: This study assesses the clinical features of cognitive impairment in COVID-19 patients complicated by depression after the acute phase and analyzes how health and demographic factors contribute to the development of cognitive impairment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The observational cross-sectional study includes 33 patients aged 18–80 (mean age: 53.5; women: 60.6%) who meet the eligibility criteria. All subjects had a clinical semi-structured interview, a general clinical examination, MoCA, HDRS-17, and MFI-20 neuropsychological tests.
RESULTS: The average MoCA-total score was 23.8±2.2. Cognitive impairments primarily affected memory (average MoCA memory score: 10.5±2.0), executive functions (average MoCA executive functioning score: 9.5±1.1), and attention (average MoCA attention score: 14.8±1.9). There is a strong negative correlation of HDRS-17 and MoCA-total values ( r=−0.72; p0.05), executive functioning index ( r=−0.82; p0.05), and memory index ( r=−0.85; p0.05). Age (β=−0.028; p=0.03), number of cardiovascular risk factors (β=−0.53; p=0.001), severity of COVID-19 in the acute phase (β=−0.97; p=0.001) and depression (β=−0.065; p=0.02) are the main contributors to cognitive impairment.
CONCLUSION: Multi-domain cognitive impairment with predominant deterioration of executive functions, memory and attention was detected in patients who had COVID-19 complicated by depression after the acute phase. The key factors of, or main contributors to, cognitive impairment were identified, which can help select the best targeted therapy for this category of patients.
