A conjuntura econômica do futebol brasileiro e o pós-covid-19
Authors: Coutinho Pablo Ruan Reis
Published: November 2022

A pandemia da covid-19 provocou diversas consequências para todos os países, incluindo o Brasil. As mais notáveis estão relacionadas no âmbito da saúde, com milhões de pessoas infectadas no mundo e elevado número de mortes por complicação da doença, e da economia. Segundo dados apresentados pela CBF (2019), em um contexto pré-pandemia, a Indústria do Futebol foi responsável por 0,72% do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) brasileiro de 2018, movimentou cerca de R$ 52,9 bilhões através de sua cadeia produtiva e foi responsável pela criação de mais de 156 mil empregos e, por conta de características próprias, possui um enorme potencial para alcançar uma participação econômica ainda maior. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é analisar os impactos da covid-19 no cenário econômico do futebol brasileiro e verificar se, de fato, os efeitos da pandemia foram adversos neste setor. A pesquisa mostrou que, além de promover fortes impactos na economia brasileira, a pandemia da covid-19 também provocou consequências negativas para a Indústria do Futebol, dentre as quais: maior queda da receita total do top 20 clubes brasileiros, em comparação ao ano anterior, na série analisada, motivada principalmente pelas reduções de receitas provenientes da TV e da bilheteria; diminuição dos custos com futebol numa proporção inferior às reduções de receitas; e maior valor das dívidas do top 20 clubes brasileiros durante o período analisado. Com a não paralisação do futebol em 2021 e o retorno parcial do público no segundo semestre de 2021, espera-se que as receitas tenham recuperado parte de suas perdas na temporada, mas que só voltem a crescer em patamares superiores ao do período pré-pandemia na temporada de 2022.
Inhibitory Potential of Eucheuma denticulatum (N.L.Burman) F.S. Collins & Hervey Against Selected Foodborne Pathogens
Authors: Magallanes Judife , Lauzon Roberta , Emnace Ivy
Published: November 2022

Seaweed is reported to have antimicrobial properties that can possibly prevent the food from microbial invasion and spoilage. Eucheuma denticulatum (N.L.Burman) F.S. Collins & Hervey is a very abundant seaweed in Leyte province, wherein it is a common part of the human diet. The common problem in food handling, especially street food, is the fast rate of spoilage due to improper handling and packaging. One way of preventing the incidence of food infection and intoxication due to improper packaging of food is the use of packaging material that can inhibit microbial growth. The study was undertaken to determine the antimicrobial potential of E denticulatum against common food pathogens. Six pathogenic bacteria – namely, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli O157:H7 – plus a yeast (Candida albicans) and a mold (Aspergillus flavus) were used as test organisms of the study. Agar well diffusion assay was used to test the inhibitory potential of E denticulatum extract against the selected pathogens. The ethanolic extract exhibited inhibitory potential against the test microorganisms except for Gram- positive bacteria B cereus and S aureus. The extract is more effective against Gram-negative bacteria S typhi and E coli. C albicans exhibited the highest mean zone of inhibition of 16.11 mm at 75% extract concentration, and A flavus has the least zone of inhibition of 2.78 mm. The observed inhibitory action of the ethanolic extract is a promising indication that E denticulatum is a potential source of bioactive compounds that can be used as a natural food preservative.

Published: November 2022

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important public health problem in developing countries like the Philippines. The success of the National TB Control Program depends on a clear understanding of the dynamics of transmission and spread of TB in high-risk populations in the community. We conducted a molecular epidemiologic analysis of M tuberculosis isolates collected from inmates with pulmonary TB in selected prisons in the Philippines. A total of 25 isolates were characterized and genotyped using Spoligotyping and 15-loci MIRU-VNTR (mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units–variable number of tandem repeats) typing. The majority of the patients were male (84%) and aged 30–49 yr old (68%). Eighteen (72%) of the culture-positive patients had severe pulmonary TB, 13 (52%) were smear-positive, and seven (28%) were classified as having a high bacillary load. Twenty isolates (80%) were susceptible to all the first-line drugs. Two (8%) were multidrug- resistant (MDR) and isolated from patients in the same prison, one of which was resistant to all first-line drugs. Three isolates (12%) were streptomycin-monoresistant. There were nine identified Spoligo-International Types (SITs), with SIT19 as the predominant (40%). One isolate (4%) did not match any SIT in the SpoIDB4 database, while three were not assessed due to inadequate DNA for analysis. The distribution of strains according to major M tuberculosis clades were as follows: EAI2_Manilla (48%) > LAM2 (20%) > LAM6 (8%) = LAM9 (8%). Spoligotyping identified two clusters and 13 genotypes (four unique strains) with a Hunter-Gaston discriminatory index (HGDI) of 0.83. MIRU-VNTR typing identified two clusters and 23 genotypes (HGDI = 0.993). Combined Spoligotyping and MIRU-VNTR typing also identified two clusters and 23 genotypes (HGDI = 0.993). There were no significant associations shown among host demographic factors, severity of the disease, drug resistance, and M tuberculosis strain. We conclude that our patient population was infected predominantly by M tuberculosis belonging to the EAI2_Manila clade
Analysis of Loss of Water Inventory at the Philippine Research Reactor-1 Fuel Storage Facility

Published: November 2022

The Philippine Research Reactor-1 (PRR-1) fuel storage facility is a wet storage for irradiated nuclear fuel. The behavior of the facility in case of accidental loss of water is currently unknown. Safety analysis of a repository of fissile material involves criticality safety assessment and radiation dose estimation for normal and accident scenarios. To determine the radiological consequences of loss of water inventory in the fuel storage facility, we calculated the effective multiplication factor (keff) and gamma dose rate distribution in the system using Monte Carlo N-particle (MCNP) radiation transport code. Results show that keff will decrease from a maximum of 0.61424 ± 0.00013 when the water level is decreased from its fully moderated condition. In contrast, keff will increase to a maximum of 0.7468 ± 0.0002 when voids are introduced in the water. These results indicate that the system will remain subcritical (keff<1) and a runaway supercritical fission chain reaction cannot result from any moderating conditions. Furthermore, the dose assessment for the case of complete loss of water revealed a maximum dose rate of 5.52 ± 0.045 mSv/h and 288 ± 4.65 𝛍Sv/h at the tank surface and tank platform, respectively. These values are significantly above background radiation levels; however, the calculated spatial distribution is highly asymmetric and the dose rate falls off rapidly with increasing distance. These results suggest that a facility-level emergency response is sufficient to address the accident. Our findings can augment the existing facility emergency procedures, thereby contributing to the improvement of radiological safety.

Published: November 2022

Bauhinia winitii Craib is an endemic species native to Thailand. Genetic diversity was assessed using microsatellite markers developed from a library enriched using (AG)20/(CAG)20 oligonucleotide probes. Eight polymorphic loci produced a total of 28 alleles with a mean number of 3.5 alleles per locus from 33 specimens of B. winitii. The averages of the expected (He) and observed (Ho) heterozygosity were 0.418 and 0.394, respectively. The average value of polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.364, and two SSR loci were highly informative. Significant linkage disequilibrium (LD) was observed between one pair of loci and a significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P < 0.05) was detected at three loci. The B. winitii population in Thailand has a moderate level of genetic diversity and a low level of inbreeding. The cross-species transferability success rate among Bauhinia species of the SSRs derived from B. winitii was 75% (B. acuminata), 100% (B. aureifolia), and 100% (B. strychnifolia). These newly developed SSR primers provide a useful genetic tool for analyzing the population structure of B. winitii and the genetic diversity of the related species – B. acuminata, B. aureifolia, and B. strychnifolia. Information from this study can be useful for developing conservation and protection plans as well as management of the genetic resources of B. winitii, an endemic plant in Thailand.

Uniting for Important Paws: The Independent Cat Society and S.H.I.N.E.
Authors: Vasilko Kayla
Published: November 2022

Homeless pets outnumber homeless people 5 to 1; only 1 in 10 animals in animal shelters are spayed or neutered; thus, organizations like the Independent Cat Society (ICS), a non-profit, cage-less, no kill cat shelter are vital community resources (Gaille, 2017). At the ICS, every cat admitted is spayed or neutered and updated on any needed medical treatment; feline overpopulation is addressed through trap, neuter, release (TNR), and additional programs to educate the public on responsible animal care practices (“About the ICS,” 2019). Through volunteerism and two Purdue Service-Learning grants, the Purdue University Northwest student organization S.H.I.N.E (students helping ignite needed esteem) has helped the ICS continue to impact the community. S.H.I.N.E first worked to clean up the ICS grounds and revitalized the ICS shop, and then helped modify the main areas of the shelter to accommodate the increase in rescues and allow for better cat care. The article has wide applications for readers overall, as it details the important community need, civic engagement, and volunteer experiences of the project. Throughout the process, volunteers learned crucial management skills, creative ways to make a difference in the community during a Pandemic while following COVID-19 protocols, and the importance of caring for our natural environment and dedicating time to volunteering. It was incredible to see the impact firsthand through the accomplishments of the ICS; in 2020, 351 cats were spayed and neutered, and 299 were adopted into loving homes.

The global pandemic caused by the spread of the covid-19 virus outbreak has an impact on a very significant economic decline for Indonesia. The Indonesian government has issued a policy to stimulate the economy of the affected communities by launching the Direct Cash Assistance program sourced from village funds or what can be called BLT-DD. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance Program Policy by examining how the BLT-DD Program is implemented in Kresek Village, Kresek District. The theory used in this study uses the theory of public policy implementation proposed by Van Meter and Van Horn, which includes: Policy Standards and Objectives, Resources, Communications, Implementor Characteristics, Implementor Dispositions, Economic, Social Conditions, and Politics. The method of writing in this study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative research approach. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the village fund direct cash assistance program in Kresek village has not been going well. This can be seen from the theoretical analysis knife which shows that the standards and objectives of the existing policies are urgent with limited time so that many stages of the BLT-DD program distribution are not carried out, the utilization of resources is not maximal, the communication is minimal, the characteristics and disposition of the Kresek village government as the implementor who is not optimal and the economic and social conditions of the residents of Kresek Village have decreased, accompanied by the atmosphere of the Kresek Village Pilkades preparation process.

Serang Regency area ranked first in banten province with 696 people in 2018. Therefore, the concept of collaborative governance is very suitable to be carried out to cooperate in solving the problems of this woman's workforce. This study measured the success rate of De Seve's theory, collaborative governance theory. The basis of this theory is 8 measures of success, namely, network structure, commitment to goals, the existence of anxiety between actors in the network, the existence of certainty, access to power, sharing accountability for information sharing and access to resources. This study uses qualitative research methods. Data collection was carried out observations down directly to interview the Disnaker Serang Regency, BP3TKI and SBMI. The results of this study explain how this collaborative governance process has not run optimally. The absence of administratively formed networks and the absence of agreements between these three agencies have difficulty carrying out collaboration. So that researchers encourage related agencies to encourage the creation of agreements between agencies so that administratively and legally clear their positions so that they can carry out the collaboration of women's labor protection to the maximum.

This study describe the process and implementation of the Collaborative governance program in the Kelompok Wanita Tani program is one of the main breakthroughs in providing family food security through yardland in Cilegon City. This is because the increase in food prices has experienced a spike. After all, the world's food reserves are experiencing a crisis, especially during the pandemic. This research aims to analyze the concept of Collaborative governance in the KWT program, understand the pattern of collaboration actors in the KWT program's implementation, and know the inhibiting and driving factors in the Collaborative governance process. By using the theory of Collaborative governance, Ansell and Gash, with the Collaborative governance Model, which includes: face-to-face dialogue, building trust, shared commitment, shared understanding, achievement of results, obtained the theoretical analysis which shows that the Collaborative governance process has not been distributed equally on KWT program in Cilegon City. It can be proved by the fact that there is no monitoring and evaluation schedule for KWT capital assistance that is given to all KWT in Cilegon City to execute the programs to actualize family food security, the lack of maintenance carried out by the government in increasing the participation of each member of the Kelompok Wanita Tani, there is still a lack of support from the sub-district government due to lack of understanding of the role in the KWT program, there are still KWT programs that did not make in a long-term collaboration between collaborating actors which caused the program only runs at the beginning of the program. Also, there is no harvest innovation product from all KWT in Cilegon City. This research hopes that it can be used as an evaluation material and tighten monitoring of the KWT program to actualize food security.

Der Essay knüpft an die von Aristoteles gestiftete Tradition an, praktischen Urteilen Wahrheitsfähigkeit zuzuschreiben. In der jungen Tradition der Philosophie des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts wird das Paradigma der in der Öffentlichkeit eines Gemeinwesens wichtigsten praktischen Urteile, des politischen Urteils auf seine Wahrheitsbedingungen untersucht. In der ältesten, der klassischen griechischen und der römischen Tradition der Politischen Philosophie wird die wichtigste Wahrheitsbedingung mit dem Gemeinwohl (τὸ κοῖνη συμφέρον – tó koine symphéron / bonum commune) identifiziert. Die anderen Wahrheitsbedingungen (Autorität, Rat und Beratung u. ä.) ergeben sich von hier aus ganz leicht.
Priming

Published: November 2022

In communication science, the priming approach sheds light on how media primes shape our ideas, opinions, or decisions. The textbook discusses the psychological roots of the approach, introduces the readings according to Iyengar/Kinder as well as Price/Tewksbury, distinguishes priming from other concepts such as agenda setting, framing, and cultivation, and discusses key studies as well as methodological approaches. The completely revised, updated, and expanded new edition takes greater account of the digital age, introduces considerations of communicative priming, and links the approach to current problems and discourses (e.g. climate change, artificial intelligence, Black Lives Matter, COVID-19, war in Ukraine, etc.).
A Social Philosophy of Science
Authors: Kasavin Ilya
Published: November 2022

A social philosophy of science proposes a way out of current controversies in scientific research that requires: a) acknowledging the non-independent character of the philosophy of science; b) reconsidering the epistemological status of the natural sciences as the only ideal of knowledge; c) focusing on the social sciences and the humanities in search of a new methodological experience; d) ceasing to consider case studies as a version of the ‘neutral language of observation’ or as a ‘crucial justification’ of a theory; and e) combining the explanatory power of local contextualisation with the projection and construction of future contexts of the impact of scientific ideas. The shift towards sociality does not subordinate science studies to any doctrine; it is rather an ecumenical appeal to maximise philosophical sensitivity and openness.
Juristische Argumentationstheorie
Authors: Neumann Ulfrid
Published: November 2022

Wie stehen Methodenlehre und juristische Argumentation zueinander? Was ist juristische Argumentation, was „bloße“ Rhetorik? Das Lehrbuch zur juristischen Argumentationstheorie stellt die Modelle juristischen Argumentierens vor und unterzieht sie einer (kritischen) Würdigung. Das betrifft etwa die Argumentationsanalyse seitens der „Strukturierenden Rechtslehre“ und das sogenannte „pragma-dialektische“ Modell der Argumentation. Explizit warnt der Band vor einem postmodernen Irrationalismus, der die Regelorientierung juristischen Argumentierens grundsätzlich in Zweifel zieht. Das Lehrbuch zeigt auf, wie die „Produktion“ von rechtlichen Entscheidungen und subgesetzlichen Regeln rational kontrollierbar und kritisierbar wird; es leistet damit einen Beitrag zu einer im besten Sinne kritischen Rechtswissenschaft.

Published: November 2022

Playing a computer or video game is considered a hobby. Therefore, one would probably not assume that this activity is of legal significance. However, the picture has changed in recent years. Many players are now contractually obligated to engage in esports and are given instructions on how to do so. Therefore, the thesis first takes a detailed look at the esports industry and its numerous stakeholders. Building on this, it examines the status of esports athletes with regard to the various contracting parties from an employment law perspective. Thereby, a distinction is made between professionals, semi-professionals, amateurs, and hobby players.

Widerspenstige Hände
Authors: Heller Anatol
Published: November 2022

In literary texts of the early 20th century, human hands seem to become increasingly problematic. This study traces literary depictions of ›unruly hands‹ in the context of developments in the history of the media, technology and knowledge. Against the backdrop of circulating interests in hands in philosophy, medicine, anthropology and ergonomics, the study examines the ›productivity‹ of these depictions of refusal and unruliness: By avoiding the long-established praise of human manual dexterity, literary texts explore forms of refusal as both a mode of heightened reflectivity and a new sense of possibility concerning the use(s) of the human hand.
Romantische Subversionen
Authors: Mai Nora-Leonie
Published: November 2022

The reception of E. T. A. Hoffmann as a representative of Dark Romanticism is firmly established in popular cultural institutions: This is particularly evident in contemporary productions of the opera »Les Contes d’Hoffmann« by Jacques Offenbach and Jules Barbier. In this study, the often trivialised understanding of Dark Romanticism is countered with a perspective that comprehends the phenomenon using the ideas of German Romanticism. Using Hoffmann’s texts and their re-conception in Barbier’s libretto, this study shows that scenographic forms of irony, the grotesque, subjectivism and the Serapiontic Principle provide the basis for Hoffmannesque Dark Romanticism—and are also effective beyond popularised stereotypes.

Harvesting of fruits at improper maturity stage reduces shelf-life. Time of harvest, method of harvest, tools used in harvesting also contribute to the wholesomeness of harvested fruits. Fruits are living organisms that continue their living processes after harvest; therefore, their handling directly affects freshness as well as optimum flavor. Maintaining cool temperatures, appropriate air combination to maintain the quality of fruits, producers, handlers, and retailers are to ensure that fruits going for processing, marketing, or into storage are at the best quality state. Indigenous handling refers to the native, age-long, cultural system of postharvest handling of horticultural crops. Postharvest handling comprises interconnected activities from harvest to sorting, grading, preservation, transportation, packaging, processing, marketing, and decision by the consumer to accept or reject the food. Improvement is the enhancement made on the traditional postharvest handling methods to reduce losses of agricultural produce by at least 5%. Various means have been developed over time to handle and preserve food and particularly fruits over ages of technology advancement from the Stone Age.

Our planet since development has experienced a greater perspective of growth. Constituting millions of species exhibiting different kinds of relationships producing both correlational and mutual growth, sums up to the widespread evolutional changes we see today. Mankind as a separate entity within the avalanche of species plays a greater share of the role and thus contributes greatly to the growth and existence of this planet. After having to battle with intraspecies ‘fight and survive’ relation within his colony conditioning him into psychological, social, and emotional, problems; he unquestionably relates with other species in an interspecies relationship. Though this interspecies relationship does not produce only negative outcomes and raises positive outcomes as well, a great deal of it is a threat to mankind’s survival and growth. One interspecies relationship that mankind experiences mutual benefits is that with plants and with species such as those of some virus, bacterial, protozoans, etc., he experiences a parasitic relationship with a lot of negative outcomes. The chapter “Plant and Infectious Diseases,” explore the relationship between man and plants that heals him and his relationship with other kinds of species that renders him into illness. It talks about how plants can help us remedy infectious diseases.

In this chapter, we present new attempts for the development of a new generation of high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). First of all, we present two strategies for obtaining a luminescent active layer. The first one is the chemical synthesis of a block copolymer based on the cross-linked Poly (N-vinyl carbazole) (PVK) and the conjugated poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMeT) system. Secondly, newly small luminescent organic molecules are chemically synthesized and studied. Photo-physical and electronic properties of the synthesized organic materials are fully investigated through experimental analysis and theoretical computations using essentially DFT and TDDFT methodologies. Optical measurements revealed the formation of a new highly luminescent organic material. Furthermore, the newly synthesized small molecules showed a high emission in the blue part. Based on the synthesized active layers, newly multi-structure OLED architectures are theoretically designed by the insertion of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) as a single layer. The theoretical computations show that the insertion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) single layer improves the injection of electron charge carriers from the chosen cathode (Ca, Mg) to the synthesized active layers, which enhances the performance of the electronic focused devices based on the organic synthesized active layer.

Recently, there have been various chemical carriers and routines for treatment of infections. Plant gum nanoparticles are being used greatly for this purpose. They have several advantages over chemical drug carriers including being biodegradable, biocompatible, nontoxic, providing better tolerance to the patient, and having fewer side effects. They also do not cause allergies in humans, do not irritate the skin or eyes, and have low production costs. The use of plant gums as drug carriers is limited due to a series of disadvantages. They may have microbial contamination because of the moisture in their content. Also, in storage, their viscosity decreases due to contact with water. By green nanoparticle synthesis of these plant gums as drug carriers, the disadvantages can be limited. There are several studies showing that plant gum drug carriers can have a great combination with various drugs and nanoparticles, thus they could be extremely effective against multi-resistant bacteria and even systemic illness like cancer. These days, the need for green synthesis of medicine and drug carriers has become quite popular and it will be even more essential in the future because of emerging antibiotic-resistant bacteria and climate change.

Transcription Flexibility of Dunaliella Chloroplast Genome
Authors: Zarandi Miandoab Leila
Published: November 2022

When a Dunaliella salina cell is stressed, a series of adaptive changes occur, including gene expression regulation, acclimating to new conditions, and maintaining survival. Due to the natural habitat and the high adaptability of this extraordinary organism to the intolerable environment for other photosynthetic organisms, the plasticity of metabolic pathways has been proven. In this regard, it seems that manipulating the amount and activity of enzymes involved in these pathways is inevitable. Therefore, both nuclear and organelles genomes must sense environmental fluctuation quickly and accurately to respond appropriately to those changes during transcription or post-transcriptional stages. In addition to the nuclear genome, D. salina has an autonomous chloroplast genome, consisting of 66, and a mitochondria genome consisting of seven genes encoding proteins. The mystery of D. salina survival in harsh environments, from 5 M salinity salt lakes to the Atacama Desert Caves, lies in this flexibility and adaptability from molecular levels to the metabolic pathway of D. salina cells. Therefore, who can say prudently that the prosperity of D. salina depends on flexibility in the regulation of plastid gene expression?

High-Performance Reworkable Underfill Adhesives Based on Dicyclopentadiene Epoxy Thermoset
Authors: M. Sridhar Laxmisha , M. Champagne Timothy
Published: November 2022

A highly reliable and reworkable underfill adhesive based on thermoset epoxy resin possessing thermally reversible dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) moiety is described. The adhesive can be cured rapidly at moderate temperatures resulting in high Tg cured network, which gives high reliability to the bonded semiconductor components. The inherent thermal reversibility of DCPD moiety causes network breakdown at high temperatures enabling easy removal of defective semiconductor chips. A discernible trend between loading level of the thermally reversible epoxy resin and high-temperature die shear strength was observed. Using this novel adhesive system, both high reliability and reworkability can be achieved concurrently, which is normally not possible with other thermoset adhesive systems. The epoxy resin used in the study was scaled up to multi-kg quantities demonstrating industrial applicability of the approach.
Insects Such as Termites Hold a Promising Future for the African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
Authors: Ifon Honor , Asuquo Philomena
Published: November 2022

Due to the high cost of fishmeal, it has been desirous to search for alternative sources of protein which are cheap and can replace fishmeal without compromising the growth and well-being of cultured fish. The use of insects such as termites to totally or partially replace fish meal is indeed innovative since most insect-based diets are known to inhibit the growth of cultured fish species due to some underlying factors. However, termite meal has been applauded for its good nutritional quality (crude protein and lipids, mineral composition, fatty, and amino acids) comparable to fishmeal. The concentration of phytate and tannin which could otherwise inhibit nutrient digestibility and growth of fish can be eliminated through proper processing techniques. Interestingly, concentrations of other anti-nutrients such as oxalate, trypsin inhibitor, lectin, and hydrocyanic acid in termites are known to be negligible and as such may not affect the digestibility and absorbance of essential nutrients.
