Subsidizing the Microchip Race: The Expanding Use of National Security Arguments in International Trade
Authors: Walker Victoria
Published: June 2024

In 2018, China, India, the European Union, Canada, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, and Turkey lodged complaints with the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in the case of Certain Measures on Steel and Aluminium Products. Each State alleged that the United States had violated international trade law by imposing a series of aggressive tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. President Donald Trump’s administration responded to these allegations by claiming that its actions were permissible under Article XXI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT); a long-standing exception built into the international trade law framework that allows States to restrict trade when doing so is vital to their national security. According to the United States, Article XXI granted it and other States near-total discretion when it came to defining their own security interests. The DSB Panel rejected this argument. Instead, the Panel asserted its own power to determine whether a State could claim the protection of Article XXI. When it came to American tariffs on imported metals, the Panel found that Article XXI was not appropriately implicated.
Exploring the causes and consequences of income inequality in India
Authors: Akshita Sheoran
Published: June 2024

The unequal income distribution among people or households within a society is called income inequality. It is a crucial socioeconomic problem that has an impact on the foundation of all countries. With its wide diversity and intricate social structure, India is a country where economic inequality poses special difficulties and ramifications. This essay investigates the origins and effects of income disparity in India, looking at its historical development, relevance, and the urgent need for in-depth study in this area. The degree to which income is dispersed unevenly among a population is known as income inequality. Numerous income distribution ratios, the Lorenz curve, and the Gini coefficient are among the statistical methods frequently used to measure this inequality. Greater inequality is indicated by a higher Gini coefficient, and more equitable income distribution is shown by a lower coefficient. Income inequality can take many different forms in India, such as regional differences, urban-rural splits, and socioeconomic stratifications.

Published: June 2024

If the bodies of transgender people who have had genital surgery are carried out according to their original gender, it will cause harm to Muslims. For example, transgender women who are originally male are bathed by men, while their body condition has changed to that of a woman. If it is held according to the current gender it will cause harm to the Islamic religion, namely as if the act of changing gender is permissible. Both of these conditions cause harm. This research aims to analyze the rules of al-ḍarar al-ashaddu yuzālu bi al-ḍarar al-akhaf during the procession of washing the body of a transgender persons that solutions can be found to alleviate these disadvantages. This research is qualitative literature research with a normative juridical approach. The results of the research explain that in the process of washing, the lightest harm is to return the body to its original law. In order to further alleviate the harm that must be done, the washing procession is described in the condition of khunsa musykil, namely that the body can simply be placed in public without washing it, as agreed by the majority of ulama. This is done to protect the private parts and prevent Muslims from seeing and touching it and it is better if the person holding the body is from their own family. Heavy adversity can ultimately be eliminated by enduring lighter adversity and light adversity can still be alleviated by referring to the law of bathing khunsa musykil.

Published: June 2024

This research aims to determine the views of the Syāfi'iyyah and Ḥanābilah schools of thought regarding the status or validity of goods purchased on credit and the law of selling goods that have not been paid in full. This research is descriptive-qualitative (non-statistical) research, with the type of library research using normative and juridical-normative approaches. The results of the research show that the ownership status of goods that have not been paid for has been transferred (ownership) from the seller to the buyer, as indicated by the existence of a contract and the handover of both. This is part of the opinion of the Syāfi'iyyah and Ḥanābilah schools of thought. Selling goods that have not been paid off to the owner of the goods (lender), or what is known as 'īnah buying and selling, or to a third party (other than the first seller), is permissible in the view of the Syāfi'iyyah school of thought, provided that the buyer has received the object of the sale and purchase before he makes the next transaction. Meanwhile, in the view of the Ḥanābilah school of thought, selling goods that have not been paid for is permissible, but only if the purpose of purchasing the goods is to be used or traded properly, provided that the buyer has received the object of the sale and purchase before he carries out the next transaction.

Siedemnastowieczne listwowe dekoracje sklepienne w Polsce i ich europejski kontekst
Authors: Krasny Piotr , Kurzej Michał
Published: June 2024

W starszej literaturze panowało przekonanie, że sztukateryjna dekoracja sklepień z początku XVII w., stosowana głównie na Lubelszczyźnie, jest przejawem rodzimych tendencji artystycznych. Z czasem dostrzeżono występowanie takiego rozwiązania poza granicami państwa polsko-litewskiego, nie zwrócono jednak uwagi na jego genezę, której można doszukiwać się w budowlach wznoszonych przez Rafaela i jego współpracowników. Wydaje się, że moda na takie dekoracje wynikała z ich skojarzenia ze sztuką antyczną, dzięki któremu szybko stały się one popularne w państwach południowoniemieckich i Królestwie Czeskim. Przy obecnym stanie badań nie da się wskazać, skąd konkretnie pochodzi taka formuła dekoracji architektonicznej i jak dotarła na ziemie Rzeczypospolitej. Można jednak powiedzieć, że nie był to rodzimy wynalazek, lecz rozwiązanie, którego zastosowanie świadczyło o świadomości tendencji występujących w architekturze europejskiej.
Altana Słuszków czy „fontanna Szujskich”. Epilog: Uchwała Prezydium Rady Ministrów nr 572/53
Authors: Omilanowska-Kiljańczyk Małgorzata
Published: June 2024

Barokowa, XVII-wieczna altana ogrodowa Słuszków, przez wielu niesłusznie uważana za Kaplicę Moskiewską, dotrwała jako ruina do 1953 r. Jej odbudowę zaprojektował Mieczysław Kuzma, ale mimo przyznania środków i przygotowania dokumentacji budowlę rozebrano 3 listopada 1953 r., znalazła się bowiem na liście warszawskich ruin przeznaczonych do rozbiórki. Listę tę załączono do niejawnego rozporządzenia Prezydium Rady Ministrów (nr 572/53), którego uchwalenie (29 lipca 1953) było świadomym aktem politycznym zmierzającym nie tylko do uporządkowania miasta, lecz także do symbolicznego zakończenia procesu odbudowy zabytków. W praktyce rozporządzenie stało się podstawą do zniszczenia wielu nadających się do odbudowy obiektów, których pozostałości uznano za zakłócające pozytywny odbiór inwestycji budowlanych dokonanych w Warszawie doby socrealizmu. Decyzje w tej kwestii zapadały w porozumieniu pomiędzy Bolesławem Bierutem i Józefem Sigalinem, a przygotowanie treści rozporządzenia przeprowadzano z pominięciem autorytetów z dziedziny ochrony i konserwacji zabytków.

Authors: Listriyana Ani , Supriyono Edi , Pratiwi Yona Eka , Gunawan Bodi
Published: June 2024

Air merupakan sumber terpenting untuk kelangsungan hidup semua makhluk. Air sangat diperlukan dalam proses kegiatan perikanan, industri, pertanian serta usaha usaha lainnya termasuk di dalamnya untuk kebutuhan irigasi. Sungai merupakan tempat berkumpulnya air dari proses hujan yang jatuh dan proses mengalirnya simpanan air pada akar tanaman. Ketersediaan air pada suatu Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) dipengaruhi oleh faktor iklim,topografi, geologi, vegetasi dan proses hidrologi seperti limpasan permukaan. Limpasan permukaan yang besar menghanyutkan butir-butiran tanah dan menyebabkan pendangkalan pada alur sungai. Beberapa waktu terakhir sungai Sumberkolak Maklum mengalami pendangkalan. Sehingga terjadi perbedaan kedalaman dalam satu garis sungai dari kiri tengah dan kanan. Oleh karena itu penulis akan melakukan pengukuran debit pada bagian sungai ini untuk melihat pengaruh dari kedalaman yang berbeda. Metode yang digunakan adalah Embody’s float method. Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan bahwa pada bagian kanan sungai di mana terjadi proses penggerusan yang menyebabkan sungai menjadi lebih dalam (rata kedalaman 0,67 m- 0,68 m) daripada di tengah dan di pinggir kiri nilai debitnya paling besar yaitu 3,7 m3/s dan 4,2 m3/s. Area tengah dengan kedalaman 0,4 m- 0,58 m memiliki nilai debit sebesar 2,15 m3/s dan 3,08 m3/s. Sedangkan area pinggir kiri sungai dengan kedalaman 0,23 m – 0,25 m memiliki nilai debit sebesar 1,06 m3/s dan 1,25 m3/s.
Unraveling genetic contributions to neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy in a pediatric cohort from a Mexican state
Authors: Elena de León-Ojeda Norma , Estévez-Perera Adonis , Guerrero-Aranda Alioth
Published: June 2024

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) encompass a broad spectrum of conditions that significantly impact personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning from an early age. Epilepsy emerges as a significant comorbid condition, featuring a complex interplay between neurodevelopmental processes and epileptogenesis, likely rooted in genetic abnormalities. This research is a descriptive observational study designed to assess the contribution of genetic variations to the clinical presentation of NDDs in a pediatric population from the Mexican state of Jalisco, aiming to enhance diagnostic and management strategies. The patients underwent comprehensive clinical evaluations and personalized genetic testing using next-generation sequencing techniques, and their relatives were studied only on a case-by-case basis if information regarding the mode of inheritance was needed. This study included 24 patients and 30 relatives. Diagnoses of Mendelian inheritance diseases were identified in 14 patients, including cases with mutations not previously associated with NDDs. Genetic testing revealed a variety of pathogenic and likely pathogenic mutations, as well as variants of uncertain significance, across a range of genes implicated in NDDs. Notable findings included new mutations related to low-prevalence genetic syndromes and the identification of both inherited and de novo mutations contributing to the neurodevelopmental phenotypes observed. Our findings underscore the complex genetic landscape of NDDs and epilepsy, highlighting the crucial role of genetic evaluation in elucidating the etiology of these disorders within the studied population. The integration of genetic testing into the diagnostic process for NDDs not only facilitates a more precise diagnosis but also informs prognostic outlooks and guides tailored intervention strategies. Moreover, this study advocates for the continued exploration of genetic underpinnings in NDDs to further refine diagnostic accuracy, improve therapeutic approaches, and support familial decision-making, and emphasizing the importance of genetics in advancing neurodevelopmental medicine.
Effects of flavonoids on vascular activity
Authors: Demirel Sadettin , Alper Yilmaz Dursun
Published: June 2024

Flavonoids, encompassing various polyphenolic compounds found in plants, exert significant effects on vascular function. Particularly notable is their role in inducing vasodilation, a process crucial for regulating blood pressure (BP) and enhancing cardiovascular health. Through their vasodilatory properties, flavonoids contribute to improved blood flow and endothelial function. In addition, flavonoids demonstrate antiplatelet effects, which play a vital role in preventing abnormal blood clot formation and reducing the risk of thrombotic events. By inhibiting platelet aggregation, flavonoids help maintain vascular integrity and mitigate the likelihood of cardiovascular complications. In addition to vasodilation and antiplatelet effects, flavonoids exhibit potential benefits in managing hypertension. Studies suggest that flavonoids can help regulate BP by promoting vasorelaxation and modulating endothelial function. These mechanisms contribute to the overall maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis and may offer therapeutic avenues for hypertension management. This review aims to comprehensively explore the multifaceted effects of flavonoids on vascular function, with an emphasis on their vasodilatory properties, antiplatelet effects, and potential implications for hypertension management within the existing literature.

Published: June 2024

This study explored spatial patterns of overflights at Bryce Canyon National Park (BRCA). Overflights were analyzed from August 14, 2023 to March 12, 2024 using Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data. Phase 1 of analysis focused on all overflights and found airspace use was predominantly by commuter traffic along major flight paths. Phase 2 of analysis focused on low-level overflights that fly below 11,500 ft mean sea level (MSL) and fly within 10-miles of the BRCA boundary. It found that most flights occurred between 9,500?10,500 ft MSL. Flights below 8,500 ft MSL concentrated around the Bryce Canyon Airport just outside the park and the main scenic amphitheater within the park. Phase 3 of analysis removed all overflights that were civil patrol flights, major airlines, and survey flights. The remaining flights were low-level overflights, including air tours. Kernel density analysis revealed that these flights were most concentrated in the northwest corner of the park at an altitude interval of was 501?1,000 ft above ground level (AGL). The greatest percentage of flights were between 1,500?2,000 ft AGL, clustered over the main amphitheater and Fairyland / Tropic Ditch. Midday was the most popular time of day for overflights. Two thirds of the flights were by fixed-wing single engine aircraft, with relatively few rotorcraft. This information can be used for planning and management purposes, as well as a resource and baseline for future research.

People all over the world suffer from persistent low back pain, often caused by spinal canal stenosis. In long term cases of spinal canal stenosis, perineural adhesions can form and that further exacerbates the pain. Transforaminal epidural adhesiolysis is beneficial as it breaks down the adhesions and allows more precise delivery of drug to the targeted area. We present a case of 57 years lady with complaint of low back pain for 2 years radiating to left leg and associated with heaviness of left leg after walking for 5 minutes. MRI report and her clinical features were suggestive of canal stenosis at L4 and L5 level. Percutaneous epidural neuroplasty was done using Racz catheter via transforaminal subpedicular approach at L4-L5 level. The numeric pain rating scale before procedure was 7/10 and after procedure decreased to 3/10. Her walking distance also increased to 45 minutes in 1 month after the procedure.

The reorientation of the economy of the Gansu region within the framework of the “One belt — One road” project implementation
Authors: Lachininskii Stanislav
Published: June 2024

The article was carried out by an international team based on an interdisciplinary approach. It uses Chinese statistics. There is still a shortage associated with identifying the effects of the “One Belt, One Road” project on the regions of China and Russia. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of the effects for Gansu Province will fill the emerging gap. Manufacturing is a traditional industry in Gansu, but due to the limitations of scientific and technological level and modernization technology, the development of industry has been relatively slow, with little export-oriented. Since 2012, the region's industry has demonstrated positive results in modernizing traditional industries, accelerating new industries, expanding innovative potential, and refocusing on the “green transition”. Traditional industries still remain the basis for developing highly differentiated foreign economic relations, including Gansu Province's export, while creating a foundation for the development of ties. In recent years, exports from Gansu to the regions of countries along the routes of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, including the regions of the Russian Federation, have been increasing. But economic cooperation between Russia and China needs to be further deepened at the regional level, including through regions such as Gansu, which do not have a direct border with Russia but have radically improved their geo-economic position. This cooperation will make a significant contribution to the transformation of export-oriented industries in Gansu. However, it is important to find optimal directions, ways and means of such a transformation.

Authors: Bilyayeva O. O. , Karol I. V.
Published: June 2024

Resume. The aim of the work was to investigate the effect of probiotics as part of the complex treatment of fecal-induced peritonitis in rats.
Matherials and methods. The experimental study was performed on 45 white, sexually mature male Wistar rats. Fecal peritonitis was modeled by a single intra-abdominal injection of a 10% suspension of syngeneic feces. Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, 15 animals in each group. The treatment of rats of group I (main) consisted in washing the abdominal cavity with a 5% solution of probiotic disinfectant in a sterile 0.9% solution of NaCl 3-5 times, applying a probiotic disinfectant spray to the organs of the abdominal cavity after washing, and a gel with probiotics to the surgical wound with a thin layer after sewing it. To treat rats of the II group (comparison group), a solution of the sorbent “Enterosgel” in a sterile 0.9% solution of NaCl was used, with which the abdominal cavity was washed 3-5 times with exposure of the solution in the abdominal cavity for 2-3 minutes. Treatment of rats of the III group (placebo-control) consisted in washing the abdominal cavity with 0.9% NaCl solution 3-5 times.
Results. In the first group (main), 10 (66.7%) rats survived, in which peritonitis was eliminated, 5 (33.3%) rats died. The animals that survived had a gradual regression of peritonitis. Peritonitis was eliminated in animals for an average of 6.5 days. The cause of death in 2 animals was pronounced peritonitis, 3 animals died during the experiment not from the progression of peritonitis. In the II group (comparison group), 8 (53.3%) rats survived, in which peritonitis was eliminated, 7 (46.7%) animals died. Peritonitis was eliminated in animals for an average of 8.5 days. 4 rats died of severe peritonitis, peritonitis was not pronounced in 3 animals at autopsy. All animals of group III (placebo-control) died of severe peritonitis within 1-8 days from the start of treatment.
Conclusions. Probiotic solutions are effective for the rehabilitation of the abdominal cavity with peritonitis, which has been proven by experimental research and opens a new era in the treatment of peritonitis.

In the treatment of patients of the main group minimally invasive video thoracoscopic technologies were mainly used.
Results. Video thoracoscopy as a treatment method was used in 67 (63.2 %) of the wounded of the I group. An assessment of the effectiveness of the provision of SSC in the study groups was carried out. The proposed surgical tactics made it possible to reduce the total number of complications from 18.5 % in victims of the II group to 5.6 % in the I group; the number of open (thoracotomy) interventions decreased by 6.5 times; reduced duration of treatment from (22±3.2) to (12±2.8) days; mortality decreased by 3 times.
Conclusions. Taking into account the results of the study, it can be argued that VTS technology should be considered as the method of choice in victims with combat thoracic trauma at the stage of SSC.

Summary. Objective. Mine and explosive injuries are a serious problem of military conflicts and terrorist acts. Since the full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the problem of treating mine-explosive wounds with the presence of metal fragments is an extremely important and urgent medical problem. Victims often receive multiple shrapnel injuries, which lead to serious consequences and complications. The duration of treatment for shrapnel wounds can vary significantly depending on the severity of the damage, infectious complications, and the timeliness of shrapnel removal. Materials and methods. The study is based on the analysis of the results of the treatment of 72 wounded with mine-explosive injuries with the presence of metal fragments, which got the hospital treatment at GI “V.T. Zaycev Institute of General and Urgent Surgery of NAMS of Ukraine” from 2022 to 2024, aged 18 to 72 years. Results and discussion. Active surgical tactics with removal of soft tissue fragments were used in all wounded: under angiographic control in 40 wounded (55,6%), video thoracoscopic or video laparoscopic in 17 wounded (23,6%), laparotomy access in 8 wounded (11,1%) and after thoraco-sternotomy with the use of magnets in 7 wounded (9,7%). Successful removal of debris was performed in 70 (97,2%) of the wounded. Specific postoperative complications were not noted in any case, 3 (4,2%) wounded patients developed seromas of postoperative wounds after thoracotomy. Conclusion. 1. 1. In 40 (55,6%) wounded, the removal of debris under angiographic control was effective. In addition to angiographic control, endoscopic visualization with debris extraction was used in 3 (4,2%) injured patients. 2. In 2 wounded (2,8%) after the puncture tracing of the fragment, a decision was made to leave them in view of the stability of the fragments in accordance with the developed classification, as well as in connection with the high traumatic nature of the necessary access. 3. The average duration of treatment until complete healing of wounds was 21,4 bed-days.

Lately, younger people have not involved themselves in farming activities, nor have they continued their parents’ jobs as farmers. Nevertheless, agriculture continues to play a pivotal role in Indonesian food production. Some studies reveal that fewer young people have been engaging in farming because aging farmers are unwilling to bequeath farms to younger farmers for educational, financial, and motivational reasons. Thus, this study sought to describe and analyze the motivating factors why farmers continue farming in Margokaton village, Sleman district, Yogyakarta province. The study gathered primary information from 82 farmers using a structured questionnaire. It used Alderfer’s existence-relatedness-growth (ERG) theory to assess farmer motivations. It found that, overall, rice farmers’ motivation, as seen from the motivation of ERG needs, was “moderate.” Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient analysis shows farmers’ motivation correlating with their education, side jobs, perception of farming as an occupation, farmland areas, productivity of paddy fields, household income from crops farming, farming experience, maintenance of the farmland, having daughters only, and parental encouragement toward farming. Understanding the factors that correlate with farmers’ motivation to continue farming can help assess the future of rice farming.

With the challenges faced by the strawberry industry prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and its experiences during the pandemic, revisiting the strawberry industry is needed through a value chain approach. This study examined the strawberry value chain of the Philippines and recommends various interventions. The study proceeded in two major phases. The first phase mapped the strawberry value chain and determined the status, problems, and prospects for each node of the value chain: input, production, processing, and marketing. The second phase generated intervention models (blueprints) relating to product, market, resource, process and technology, and human capital development. Interviewed representatives of the potential implementing agencies found these intervention models, in the form of blueprints, workable and acceptable. Primary data were gathered through surveys and key informant interviews conducted online or via phone. Secondary data from journals and similar scholarly work supported the primary data gathered.

Published: June 2024

Industri percetakan mengalami pertumbuhan pesat, termasuk Percetakan Wahyu Abadi yang didirikan pada 2014 dengan 8 karyawan. Produksi mengalami fluktuasi bulanan, dengan lonjakan menjelang Tahun Baru atau event besar, dan sepi di Januari dan Februari. UD. Wahyu Abadi menerapkan pendekatan Continuous Improvement dengan siklus PDCA untuk mengatasi masalah kualitas dan mengelola persediaan kertas. Pendekatan ini diharapkan mengurangi pemborosan kertas dan meningkatkan efisiensi produksi. Penanganan data dilakukan dengan metode analisis pola permintaan, perencanaan persediaan bahan baku menggunakan metode EOQ, dan continuous improvement dengan PDCA. Hasil analisis menunjukkan kebijakan perusahaan dalam pengadaan bahan baku kertas belum optimal. Biaya persediaan menurut metode EOQ lebih rendah dibandingkan kebijakan perusahaan, dan perusahaan belum menentukan besaran safety stock yang diperlukan. Empat jenis cacat ditemukan dalam produk percetakan: tinta berceceran, potongan tidak rapi, robek, dan gambar blur. Penyebab utamanya adalah kesalahan dalam penyetingan mesin offset Olliver dan minimnya perawatan rutin mesin pemotong DQ 201. Disarankan untuk membuat lembar catatan kontrol mesin dan menyediakan SOP tertulis untuk pengoperasian mesin. Perusahaan disarankan menerapkan metode EOQ untuk pengadaan bahan baku kertas dan menyediakan safety stock untuk mengantisipasi kekurangan pasokan. Hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai acuan untuk perbaikan kualitas menggunakan metode PDCA, dengan harapan meminimalkan tingkat kecacatan produk.

As práticas cultivo agrícola e o desmatamento em áreas de nascentes hídricas não são favoráveis ao meio ambiente, já que situações como estas causam prejuízos ambientais, prejudicando o processo de infiltração de água no solo. O processo de infiltração de água no solo é bastante complexo e pode variar quantitativa e qualitativamente de acordo com as propriedades naturais do solo e da vegetação e/ou por causa das atividades humanas. Assim, o presente trabalho trata- se de uma pesquisa de campo de natureza aplicada e de cunho quantitativo. O estudo foi realizado no município de Itapororoca – PB, de forma mais específica, em sua zona rural, no Sítio Curral Grande. De forma inicial, foi realizada a observação da área estudada, para analisar as culturas agrícolas que eram desenvolvidas no local. A partir disso, foi executada uma verificação da situação ambiental em cada cultura desenvolvida na área da nascente, com a finalidade de estabelecer as melhores técnicas e ações de revitalização. Para a aplicação dos testes para verificar a taxa de infiltração de água no solo inicialmente se estabeleceu os locais onde os experimentos seriam executados. Foram aplicados três testes, um em área ocupada por abacaxi, outra ocupada com cana-de-açúcar e outra área em repouso. Nesses locais constataram-se taxas de infiltração variadas. Essa variação pode está diretamente ligada ao tipo de manejo das atividades agropecuárias nesses locais. Com isso, conclui-se que, apesar das três culturas apresentarem um índice de infiltração de água baixo, a inclinação da área, a diferença na produção de agricultura, o uso de agrotóxicos, a presença de vegetação, a criação de crosta no solo, a falta de matéria orgânica e o escoamento superficial das águas das chuvas são fatores determinantes que dificultam a infiltração de água no solo nas diferentes culturas.

O pescado, apesar de ser um alimento altamente nutritivo, destaca-se por ser um dos produtos de origem animal mais perecíveis, com isso, a avaliação do estado de frescor permite maior controle de qualidade do pescado comercializado. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a composição físico-química e frescor de filés de peixes de água doce e salgada comercializados congelados na cidade de Uruguaiana-RS. O estudo foi realizado na Universidade Federal do Pampa, campus Uruguaiana, RS. Amostras de filés de peixes de água doce: tilápia, panga, e peixes de água salgada: merluza e salmão foram avaliados quanto aos teores de umidade, cinzas, proteína bruta (PB), gordura e valor calórico, além do frescor: concentração de peróxidos, TBARS (substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico) e BNVT (bases nitrogenadas voláteis totais). Conforme os resultados obtidos, os filés de salmão apresentaram significativamente (p<0,05) menores teores de umidade e cinzas e maiores níveis de gordura e valor calórico comparado às demais espécies. Com relação ao conteúdo de PB, os maiores valores (p<0,05) foram observados nos filés de merluza, seguido das demais espécies. Os filés de tilápia apresentaram maior conteúdo de BNVT. Já a concentração de peróxidos foi maior nos filés de salmão, e os valores de TBARS foram maiores nos filés de merluza. Diante dos resultados obtidos conclui-se que todos os filés avaliados se encontram com frescor pleno para o consumo humano e os filés de salmão e merluza destacam-se como alimentos ricos em lipídeos e proteínas, respectivamente.
