Authors: Гусарова Олена Віталіївна , Михайлик В’ячеслав Аврамович , Шапар Раїса Олексіївна
Published: September 2021

Для більш обґрунтованого виявлення можливостей інтенсифікації сушіння та глибшого розуміння процесів, які відбуваються під час зневоднення яблук, методами ТГ та ДТА було досліджено процес видалення води з них. В якості об’єктів дослідження використано свіжі та оброблені парою зразки паренхімних тканин яблук сорту Ренет Симиренко та Джонатан. Дослідження виконано в дериватографі Q–1000 в діапазоні 25…250 оС при швидкості нагрівання 3,6 К/хв. Зневоднення яблук здійснювали методом конвективного стадійного сушіння до залишкової вологості 6% (абс).
Визначено температури максимальної швидкості зневоднення, переходу паренхімних тканин в стан, обумовлений вмістом виключно зв’язаної води та температурні інтервали термічного розкладання органічних речовин. У роботі відмічено, що перебіг процесу сушіння в умовах керованого нагріву залежить від стану води. Середня швидкість видалення води з оброблених парою тканин у яблук сорту Ренет Симиренко на 14% більша порівняно зі свіжими.
Вперше для яблук сорту Ренет Симиренко показано, що у оброблених парою зразках через руйнування клітинних мембран відбувся перерозподіл фракційного складу води. У оброблених парою яблуках досліджених сортів зв’язаної води на ~3% менше, ніж у свіжих. Перехід зв’язаної води у вільну підтверджується значеннями середньої питомої теплоти зневоднення, яка для свіжих яблук Ренет Симиренко визначена на рівні 2630 (в діапазоні температур 25...181 °С), а для оброблених парою – 2500 кДж/кг (в діапазоні температур 25...183 °С). Дослідження підтверджують доцільність тепловологісної обробки паренхімних тканин сировини перед сушінням з метою інтенсифікації зневоднення та зменшення енергетичних витрат. Отримані результати можна використовувати при виборі режиму попередньої тепловологісної обробки яблук та у теплових розрахунках процесу зневоднення.

Authors: Truzzi Giselle de Martin , Naufel Maria Fernanda , Tufik Sergio , Coelho Fernando Morgadinho
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT Background: Narcolepsy is a disease resulting from the loss of hypocretin-producing cells or other dysfunctions of the hypocretinergic system. In addition to sleep disorders, affected patients may experience increased weight gain, olfactory changes, and poorer quality of life. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between narcolepsy and weight gain, years of study, sleep parameters, and olfactory dysfunction in patients with narcolepsy type 1 and narcolepsy type 2. Anthropometric, olfactory, socioeducational, and excessive daytime sleepiness evaluations were performed in 77 patients. Results: Greater weight gain and abdominal obesity were observed in patients with type 1 narcolepsy. Patients with higher education level had lower scores of daytime sleepiness, higher scores on the olfactory function test, and lower rates of abdominal obesity. Discussion: Patients with narcolepsy type 1 showed an increased body weight and abdominal obesity when compared to narcolepsy type 2. The patients with a higher schooling level showed a reduction of the daytime sleepiness scores, lower rates of abdominal obesity, and better scores on the olfactory function test. Conclusion: Among all the patients with narcolepsy, the data indicated that aging and hypocretin deficiency are associated with abdominal obesity, while years of study is the variable that mostly influences olfaction function.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the composition and the cancer chemopreventive and antioxidant activities of the seed, skin, and pulp of Maximo hybrid grapes (IAC 138-22) harvested at different ripening stages. The content of total phenolic compounds and tannins were determined by the Folin-Ciocaulteau method, and total anthocyanins were determined using the differential pH method. Different chemical methods assessed the antioxidant activity. Cell viability (macrophage and melanoma skin cancer) and cancer chemopreventive activity were tested in cell lines by quinone reductase induction assay, TNF-α-induced NF-κB inhibitory activity assay, and aromatase inhibitory activity assay. The hybrid grape had high phenolic contents in both seeds and skin, significantly reduced upon ripening. The results showed that fruit ripening significantly affected both the composition and the antioxidant and cancer chemopreventive activities. Except for the anthocyanin content, the most significant results were observed for green seeds, with the greenest stage showing the best results. The green seeds showed the highest antioxidant activity, even when compared to free resveratrol. In the assessment of cancer chemopreventive activity, the green seeds showed the ability to inhibit N-FκB and aromatase activity, important factors for the early stage of cancer development. Besides, no extracts showed cytotoxicity. Therefore, this grape’s green seeds showed strong antioxidant and cancer chemopreventive activities confirmed herein, suggesting beneficial health effects.

ABSTRACT: Fascioliasis is a zoonosis of global distribution caused by the parasitic trematode Fasciola spp. Infection in humans can occur in areas endemic for animal fascioliasis, suggesting the need for studies on this parasitosis and its determinants. This exploratory study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of bovine fascioliasis in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, based on cases notified between 2015 and 2017 in a state abattoir, located in the municipality of Orleans, and to associate disease occurrence with altitude, temperature, and rainfall. The research was conducted at Centro Universitário Barriga Verde (UNIBAVE)/Orleans, SC and Fundação Oswaldo Cruz/Rio de Janeiro, RJ. During the study period, the abattoir received animals from 58 municipalities in that state. Of the animals slaughtered in that period, 10,81% were infected with Fasciola hepatica. Presence of bovine fascioliasis infection was identified in the South and Southeast regions of the state, with higher prevalence rates in the latter. There was an association between low altitudes and higher occurrence of cases in the municipalities assessed. In addition, prevalence of bovine fascioliasis was higher in municipalities with high temperatures and low rainfall. Therefore, these results should be considered for planning disease control measures in the South and Southeast regions of the state of Santa Catarina.

Abstract Traditional medicine is cheaper and easily available to local people, to care for most frequent diseases in the Northern parts of Pakistan. Our study aimed at inventorying medicine from local plants, documenting their uses, and assessing their market value in 2015-2018 during spring, summer, and winter seasons. A total of 15 trips were made, 5 in each season. Semi-structured interviews with 165 inhabitant’s age range between 20-80 years were conducted, analyzed the data is analyzed using Relative frequency of citation(RFC), Use Value(UV), Fidelity Level(FL), Informants consensus factor(ICF), and Jaccard index(JI) to find the most frequent and well-known used species in the area. A total of 86 species belonging to 39 vascular plant families, 33 genera were documented as medicinally important. Family Asteraceae was observed as the dominant family among all the families with 10 species, the leaf was the most used parts and decoction 36% was the most preferred preparation type. Herb was the predominant life form (67%). The maximum UV (0.92) was demonstrated by J. adhatoda L. species, while A. sativum L. shows maximum RFC (0.58), the highest ICF value represented by diarrhea and dermatitis 0.92, and high FL value is recorded 100%. According to our collections, wild species were 45%, invasive species were 38% and cultivated 17% recorded, dicots species were recorded more 81%. Seven 7 medicinal species is being economically important and export to the local and international market of the world, whereas P. integrima L. species were the most exported species according to the local dealers. The investigated area is rural and the local people depend on the area's plants for their health needs, and other uses like a vegetable, fuelwood, fodder, etc. The current result of RFC, UV, ICF, FL, and JI shows that medicinal flora needs to be pharmacologically and phytochemically investigated to prove their efficacy. The documentation of medicinal knowledge is important to preserve this precious old knowledge before it is lost forever, due to technological and environmental changes in the world.
Teaching of Veterinary Parasitology to University students in Trinidad, West Indies; are our local wildlife species neglected?
Authors: Jones K. R. , Garcia G. W.
Published: September 2021

Abstract Parasites of veterinary importance have been heavily focused on domesticated livestock that was introduced into the neo-tropics. The text used in the teaching parasitology to veterinary students in Trinidad has only investigated the parasites of domesticated species. In the reviewed veterinary parasitology text no mention was made on the parasites that affect wild neo-tropical animals. Information on wild neo-tropical animals had to be sourced from texts on the management of wild life animals in the Neotropics. The texts that were reviewed in this document spanned from the mid-1950s to 2020. The information presented in this review reveals the exhaustive work done on the parasites of domesticated species but also revealed little information on neo-tropical animals with the potential for domestication. In conclusion, this review reveals the gap of information that is missing from parasitology texts used in the teaching of veterinary students. In the future these parasitology texts can be revised to include chapters on the parasites of neo-tropical animals with the potential for domestication. At present students that graduate from the veterinary parasitology course has little information on the parasites of animals which are present in their ‘backyards’.

Published: September 2021

Abstract Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity levels can be used as an indicator for AChE inhibition due to pesticide poisoning in bird species. We assessed the comparative brain cholinesterase (AChE) activity level of five bird species inhabiting pesticide exposed croplands and Protected Area i.e. Deva Vatala National Park (DVNP), Bhimber by using a spectrophotometric method. AChE activity levels ranged from 56.3 to 85.9 µmol/min/g of brain tissue of birds representing DVNP. However, AChE activity levels ranged from 27.6 to 79.9 µmol/min/g of brain tissue of birds representing croplands. AChE activity levels observed in Jungle babbler, Common babbler, and Red-vented bulbul showed significant differences (P < 0.05) at two sites. However, White wagtail and Black drongo demonstrated non-significant differences (P > 0.05). Maximum inhibition was recorded in Jungle babbler (53%) followed by Common babbler (35%), Red-vented bulbul (18%), White wagtail (15%), and Black drongo (7%). The brain cholinesterase inhibition levels under-protected ecosystems (DVNP, Bhimber) and agricultural landscape suggest insecticidal contamination and its impact on avifauna diversity. The study also emphasizes on the importance of pesticide-free zones to protect the biodiversity of birds.

Published: September 2021

Abstract The telencephalon refers to the most highly developed and anterior part of the forebrain, consisting mainly of the cerebral hemispheres. The study determined Neuroglobin (Ngb) and Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) expression in the telencephalon of yak and cattle, and compare the expression and distribution pattern of Ngb and HIF-1α in the two animals. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR), and Western blot (WB) were employed to investigate Ngb and Hif-1α expression in the telencephalon of yak and cattle. mRNA and protein expressions of Ngb and HIF-1α showed positive in different tissues of the yak and cattle telencephalon. Ngb expression in tissues of the yak recorded higher as compare to cattle while HIF-1α expression was found higher in cattle than yak. The HIF-1α expression in some tissues of yak telencephalon was consistent with the cattle. The results documented that HIF-1α may have a direct or indirect synergistic effect on Ngb expression in the yak telencephalon to improve hypoxia adaptation. It is suggested that yak may need more Ngb expression for adaptation, but the expression of HIF-1α seems to be down-regulated during long-term adaptation, and the specific causes of this phenomenon needs to be further verified.

Abstract Ninety days study was conducted in hapas installed in earthen ponds. Fish of an average initial weight (220g) were evenly distributed in triplicate groups within fifteen hapas. Five experimental diets labeled as T1 (25% CP and NRC recommended amino acid level) as control diet, T2 (with 2% low protein and 5% amino acid supplementation), T3 (with 2% low protein and 10% amino acid supplementation), T4 (with 4% low protein and 10% amino acid supplementation) and T5 (with 4% low protein and 20% amino acid supplementation) were prepared. Fish were fed with @3% of their body weight twice a day at 10.00 & 16:00 hour. Significantly higher percent weight gain (420.18 ± 66.84a) and specific growth rate (13499.33±1273.54a) along with improved feed conversion ratio (1.29 ± 0.09b) and hundred percent survivals were recorded during the trial. Furthermore proximate analysis of meat showed significant improvement in the crude protein level (81.77 ± 0.19a) served with diet containing 20% limiting amino acids mixture. Therefore, limiting amino acids can be a source of cost effective feed and use safely in L. rohita diet.

Abstract Today, global focus of research is to explore the solution of energy crisis and environmental pollution. Like other agricultural countries, bulk quantities of watermelon peels (WMP) are disposed-off in environment as waste in Pakistan and appropriate management of this waste is the need of hour to save environment from pollution. The work emphasizes the role of ethanologenic yeasts to utilize significant sugars present in WMP for low-cost bioethanol fermentation. Dilute hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of WMP was carried out on optimized conditions employing RSM (response surface methodology) following central composite design (CCD). This experimental design is based on optimization of ethanologenesis involving some key independent parameters such as WMP hydrolysate and synthetic media ratio (X1), incubation temperature (X2) and incubation temperature (X3) for maximal ethanol yield exploiting standard (Saccharomyces cerevisiae K7) as well as experimental (Metchnikowia cibodasensisY34) yeasts. The results revealed that maximal ethanol yields obtained from S. cerevisiae K7 was 0.36±0.02 g/g of reducing sugars whereas M. cibodasensisY34, yielded 0.40±0.01 g ethanol/g of reducing sugars. The yeast isolate M. cibodasensisY34 appeared as promising ethanologen and embodies prospective potential for fermentative valorization of WMP-to-bioethanol.

Published: September 2021

Abstract: Recently, the agricultural sector has had to face several challenges related to the innovation process, the most significant of which seems to be that of its digital transformation. As a consequence, the issue of digital technology adoption is becoming of important scientific interest due to its potential impact on products, services, processes, and new business models. In general, the adoption behavior can be indirectly explained by studying factors that lead a firm to innovate; among these factors, the literature emphasizes the function of networks. The objective of the paper is to investigate the role of networks as key drivers of precision agriculture technologies adoption. To achieve this goal, qualitative research was developed by using 8 case studies recollected among that few Italian farms which can be defined as innovative for having already experienced precision agriculture. Results show that only a few farms can develop and manage innovations internally; success often requires cooperation between individual actors and organizations. Finally, the paper provides some practical advice and a set of propositions for those farms that are trying to achieve digital technological innovations.
Linn da Quebrada e os engajamentos performativos com as mídias digitais: uma análise sociológica de uma trajetória artística dissidente de gênero
Authors: Souza Patrick Borges Ramires de , Balieiro Fernando de Figueiredo
Published: September 2021

Resumo: No artigo, analisamos o uso das mídias digitais por Linn da Quebrada, artista dissidente em termos de gênero, sexualidade, raça e classe social. Linn se identifica enquanto bixa, preta, ora travesti, ora transexual e “da quebrada”, tendo conquistado certa visibilidade midiática a partir da publicação de produções audiovisuais no YouTube. A abordagem metodológica consistiu em etnografia digital por perambulação, na qual percorremos os fluxos de relações constituídas pela artista a partir do uso do YouTube, nos anos de 2016 e 2017, visando refletir sobre os engajamentos performativos que ela adotou em plataformas digitais. Também demonstramos como a emergência da artista se dá a partir da problematização das normas de gênero e sexualidade, em momento de acirramento do debate político sobre essas mesmas no país e da consolidação de uma configuração midiática altamente segmentada em uma sociedade digital.
A legendagem do discurso da sexualidade em The Magdalene Sisters
Authors: Gehin Antônia Elizângela de Morais , Fernandes Alinne Balduino Pires
Published: September 2021

Resumo: Neste artigo, propõe-se analisar a tradução do discurso da sexualidade no âmbito da legendagem, mais especificamente, a transcodificação de referências culturais a partir de noções de tradução cultural e feminismo, utilizando como corpus legendas do filme The Magdalene Sisters (2002). Escrito e dirigido por Peter Mullan, The Magdalene Sisters estreou no Brasil em 2004 sob o título Em Nome de Deus. Baseada em fatos reais, a trama narra a história de quatro mulheres encarceradas, por questões religiosas e morais, em uma instituição denominada Magdalen Asylum (Asilo de Madalenas) nos anos 1960, na Irlanda. O objetivo central deste estudo consiste, portanto, em analisar como a mulher é representada por meio da legendagem do discurso religioso e da sexualidade, investigando de que maneira os procedimentos de tradução - adotados no processo de legendagem do idioma inglês para o português brasileiro - refletem a desigualdade de gênero e a misoginia com base teológica que permeiam a narrativa. A análise qualitativa do corpus demonstrou que as variações de sentido decorrentes de variações gramaticais e das intervenções do/a legendador/a promoveram uma aproximação dos contextos culturais de partida e de chegada.
Accounting treatment of joint operations in Brazil in light of the current accounting standards
Authors: Sarquis Raquel Wille , Santos Ariovaldo dos
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper was to analyze the accounting treatment used by companies in Brazil that have investments in joint operations, in light of the Brazilian and international accounting standards. There are no doubts about the accounting treatment to be used in consolidated statements, but a divergence was identified between the international and Brazilian standards in relation to individual statements. IFRS 11 determines that investors recognize the values of a joint operation proportionally in consolidated and separate statements. However, the Brazilian standard includes a paragraph determining that only joint operations with no legal personality can be measured in individual statements proportionally. CPC 19 foresees different accounting treatments depending on the legal form of the joint operation, omitting the accounting treatment to be used in joint operations with a separate vehicle. The topic of joint operations is relevant, as the accounting treatment used in Brazil can mean our accounting practices do not comply with the international ones. Besides contributing to the literature on joint businesses, this essay indicates to regulatory bodies the need to modify the Brazilian standard so that it fits the international ones. As well as discussing the current standard, an analysis was carried out of companies in Brazil that have joint operations and the respective accounting treatments used to infer how well they fit the international standards. The results indicate that the accounting statements of the companies in Brazil with joint operations, composed through a separate vehicle, do not comply with the international standards. The main contribution of this essay is that it draws the attention of companies, auditors, and regulators to this non-compliance.

Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the influence of institutional routines on interpersonal conflicts among institutionalized elderly women. Method: A qualitative study, with an ethnographic framework, performed with 17 elderly women in a Long-Term Care Facility. The field immersion occurred from August 2017 to May 2018. The data were produced by participant observation and fieldnotes and analyzed through the sociocultural perspective with theoretical tools related to the total institutions described by Erving Goffman. Results: External bonds outside the institution and the routines were trigger factors of conflicts in the Long-Term Care Facility. The dissatisfaction with the lack of external bonds was noticed in the impossibility of leaving with family members, receiving visits, objects, money, foods, or attention. The standardization and collectivization of internal routines of basic activities generated dissatisfaction and challenged the elderly women’s tolerance towards the norms. Such situations facilitated interpersonal conflicts in the institutional environment. Conclusion: The conflicts occurred among elderly women and professionals, and among them, from the insubordination of the elderly, based on the idea of reaffirming their individualities.
A crítica ao currículo: entre Deleuze, Guattari e Foucault
Authors: Caffagni Lou Guimarães Leão
Published: September 2021

Resumo Neste artigo, investiga-se o modo como a filosofia da diferença impacta na discussão da governamentalidade e das práticas de si no campo do currículo. A primeira parte do artigo debate as técnicas disciplinares e o governo dos corpos e a segunda parte discute as técnicas de si e o governo da alma. Ao longo da exposição, apresentam-se as diversas versões de um discurso que concebe a educação e o currículo enquanto um conjunto de mecanismos de controle que se prestam a gerenciar, normalizar e vigiar os processos de subjetivação. No fim, destaca-se que a influência deleuze-guattariana tende a ressaltar a crescente flexibilidade, imaterialidade e descentralização dos dispositivos de governamentalidade.
(H)ERÉTICA: SOBRE EREÇÕES E ÉTICA
Authors: Bonfante Gleiton Matheus
Published: September 2021

Resumo Que possibilidades éticas a universalidade tem a oferecer a uma humanidade fundada na e sustentada pela desigualdade? Essa é a questão que este artigo pretende tensionar ao observar os gatilhos afetivos do discurso em duas situações de embate ético na etnografia linguística. Analisa uma interação entre um professor do norte global e um doutorando sul-americano negociando limites éticos para argumentar por uma ética de pesquisa que seja radicalmente particular e contextual. Para tanto, também analisa o deboche de participantes em grupos de WhatsApp para performances íntimo-espetaculares quanto ao pedido de consentimento. Deboche é evidência de que, ao contrário de sujeitar nossos colaboradores a nossos métodos burocráticos, pode ser mais ético que o pesquisador abrace o modelo ético que responde às expectativas da comunidade em que se insere. Antes da análise, o artigo oferece uma revisão bibliográfica sobre ética e colonialismo que respalda teoricamente a discussão empreendida.

Authors: Souza Ronaldo Tadeu de
Published: September 2021

Resumo O artigo tem como objetivo reconstruir a interpretação textualista de Leo Strauss sobre a teoria política de Thomas Hobbes. Argumenta-se que, na leitura do teórico alemão radicado nos Estado Unidos, emerge do pensamento do autor de Leviatã a noção de busca incessante pela estabilidade existencial como objetivo último de todos e indivíduos e, por conseguinte, da necessidade do direito natural ao Estado.

We prospectively audited 150 patients undergoing dental procedures with Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil to evaluate patient safety, adverse effects and post-operative discharge time and patient feedback. This anaesthetic technique provides for early recovery after surgery and allows for a 92% rate of “fast track” discharge within 20 minutes (mins) of completion of surgery. The technique proved safe with 14 patients (9.3%) experiencing a total of 14 adverse events, none of which were serious and all of which were easily managed. The adverse events were 8 cases of hypoxaemia (5.3%), 3 cases of paradoxical agitation/anxiety (2.0%), 2 cases of nausea (0.01%), neither of which required treatment and 1 case of generalised body itching, again not requiring treatment. Patient feedback was unanimously positive. We compared our rate of adverse events using TCI propofol and TCI remifentanil with our previous publication of 350 patients in which we used bolus alfentanil and TCI propofol. Additionally, we compared the effect target (Cet) propofol infusion levels required between the two groups. We advocate the use of remifentanil in combination with propofol in particular for longer duration cases and for those patients at risk of developing or who manifest an intraoperative paradoxical agitation reaction.

When referring to non-present entities, speakers and signers can select from a range of different strategies to create expressions that range from extremely concise to highly elaborate. This design of referring expressions is based partly on the availability of contextual information that can aid addressee understanding. In the small signing community of Providence Island, signers’ heavy reliance on extra-linguistic information has led to their language being labelled as context-dependent (Washabaugh, de Santis & Woodward 1978). This study investigates the semiotic strategies that deaf signers in Providence Island use to introduce non-present third person referents, and examines how signers optimise specificity and minimise ambiguity by drawing on shared context. We examined first introductions to non-present people in spontaneous dyadic conversations between deaf signers and analysed the semiotic strategies used. We found that signers built referring expressions using the same strategies found in other sign languages, yet designed expressions that made use of contextual knowledge shared through community membership, such as geography, local spoken languages and traits of fellow islanders. Our signers also used strategies described as unusual or unattested in other sign languages, such as unframed constructed action sequences and stand-alone mouthings. This study deepens our understanding of context dependence by providing examples of how context is drawn upon by communities with high degrees of shared knowledge. Our results call into question the classification of sign languages as context-dependent or context-independent and highlights the differences in data collection across communities and the resulting limitations of cross-linguistic comparisons.

KARAKTERISASI TERMAL PEB U-7Mo/Al SEBAGAI BAHAN BAKAR REAKTOR RISET. Bahan bakar berbasis UMo/Al merupakan kandidat bahan bakar reaktor riset dan sebagai alternatif pengganti bahan bakar U3Si2/Al. Hal ini disebabkan karena paduan UMo/Al memiliki densitas uranium yang lebih tinggi yaitu sekitar 16,4 g/cm3 dibandingkan dengan U3Si2/Al sebesar 12,2 g/cm3. Selain itu, paduan UMo mempunyai tampang lintang serapan neutron rendah dan proses olah ulang relatif mudah. Paduan U-7Mo/Al mampu mempertahankan fasa γ-U selama proses iradiasi, sehingga stabilitas bahan bakar di dalam reaktor tetap terjaga.  Paduan U-7Mo telah difabrikasi menjadi mini pelat PEB U-7Mo/Al. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui karakteristik termal dari PEB U-7Mo/Al sebagai masukan kepada fabrikator bahan bakar reaktor riset dalam pembuatan bahan bakar berbasis UMo/Al. Karakterisasi termal dilakukan terhadap logam uranium, molybdenum, paduan UMo dan PEB U-7Mo/Al mengguakan Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Setaram. Hasil karakterisasi termal menunjukan bahwa PEB U-7Mo/Al stabil terhadap termal hingga 600 °C, karena pada temperatur 632,962 °C PEB U-7Mo/Al telah mengalami reaksi termokimia endotermik dengan DH= 144,318 J/g. Pada 656,186 ºC terjadi peleburan matriks Al dan kelongsong AlMg2 dalam PEB U-7Mo/Al dengan DH = 144,318 J/g. Pada temperatur 952,810 ºC hingga 1106,050 ºC, lelehan matriks Al berdifusi dengan UMo membentuk senyawa U(Mo,Al)x metastabil dan pemanasan hingga temperatur hingga 1211,760 ºC terbentuk layer UAlx (UAl2, UAl3 dan UAl4) dengan DH= –22,721 J/g.

STUDI KELAYAKAN YELLOWCAKE HASIL SAMPING PETROKIMIA GRESIK SEBAGAI BAHAN BAKU PROSES PEMURNIAN DAN KONVERSI DI FASILITAS PILOT CONVERSION PLANT. Fasilitas Pilot Conversion Plant (PCP) telah berhasil digunakan untuk pemurnian dan konversi yellowcake komersial dari Cogema – Perancis. Sehingga, untuk mendukung kemandirian bangsa, dilakukan pengkajian proses pemurnian dan konversi menggunakan sumber yellowcake dalam negeri. Salah satu sumber yellowcake dalam negeri adalah yellowcake hasil samping proses yang dilakukan di Petrokimia Gresik. Dengan demikian dapat diketahui karakteristik dan sifat khusus yellowcake Petrokimia Gresik dan peluang penggunaan PCP sebagai fasilitas pemurnian dan konversi yellowcake tersebut. Kegiatan pengkajian dilakukan dengan membandingan karakteristik sifat kimia dan fisika yellowcake Petrokimia dengan yellowcake Cogema yang telah berhasil diproses di PCP.  Informasi primer mengenai karakteristik kedua yellowcake didapatkan dari hasil analisis yang telah dilakukan, sedangkan informasi sekunder didapatkan dari literatur terkait. Informasi tersebut digunakan juga untuk menentukan parameter proses yang diperlukan di PCP untuk pemurnian dan konversi yellowcake dari Petrokimia Gresik. Hasil pengkajian ini menunjukkan bahwa yellowcake Petrokimia Gresik layak digunakan sebagai umpan proses pemurnian dan konversi di PCP. Yellowcake Petrokimia Gresik lebih mudah ditangani namun memerlukan asam nitrat lebih banyak dibandingkan pelarutan yellowcake Cogema. Nilai parameter proses pemurnian dan konversi yellowcake Petrokimia Gresik yang telah didapatkan meliputi proses pelarutan yellowcake, pemurnian uranil nitrat, pemekatan uranil nitrat, pengendapan uranil nitrat menjadi ammonium diuranat (ADU), pengeringan serbuk ADU, kalsinasi ADU menjadi serbuk U3O8 dan reduksi serbuk U3O8 menjadi serbuk UO2 untuk yellowcake Petrokimia Gresik tidak berbeda dengan yellowcake Cogema.Kata kunci: PCP, Pemurnian yellowcake, Konversi yellowcake, Yellowcake Petrokimia.

EVALUATION OF NEUTRON SHIELDING PERFORMANCE OF CD-SS 316L AS A CANDIDATE ALLOY FOR DRY CASK OF RESEARCH REACTOR SPENT FUEL Development of dry casks is necessary to support the national strategy for management of spent fuels. One of the requirements for the dry cask is shielding performance for neutron emitted by the spent fuels to be stored in the dry cask. The objectives of this study are to determine the emitted neutrons by the spent fuel generated from GAS research reactor and to evaluate the neutron shielding performance of Cd-SS316L alloy as a candidate material to be used in dry cask for the spent fuels.  The former was carried out using Origen 2.1 software, while the latter using MCNP5. The result shows that the emitted neutrons by a spent fuel after 5 years discharged from GAS research reactor were 2.81×103 and 3.32×106 n/s for reactor core power of 15 and 30 MW, respectively. Addition of Cd improves the neutron shielding performance of SS 316L. The evaluation of neutron shielding performance of SS 316L with addition of Cd which is the candidate material for dry cask of the spent fuels from the GAS research reactor can be evaluated using Origen 2.1 software for neutron emission, while the neutron shielding performance was evaluated by the simulation using MNCP 5 software. This study shows the Cd-SS 316L alloy can be used for further study to develop the dry cask design for the GAS research reactor.Key words: Neutron shielding, cadmium, stainless steel, spent fuel.

Authors: DİNÇER Recep , BAYKAL Tuba , KUMBUL DOĞUÇ Duygu , SARMAN Emine , CEYLAN Devran
Published: September 2021

Objective

Methotrexate (MTX) used anti-metabolite, causes

bone morbidity, including growth arrest and reduced

bone mineral density. Melatonin, produced by the

pineal gland, has also multiple positive effects in human

bone cells, and positive effects on bone. Ramelteon

(RMT) is a non-selective melatonin receptor agonist.

In this study, we investigated whether ramelteon, a

melatonin agonist, has a protective effect on MTXinduced

bone toxicity.

Material and Methods

The rats divided into 4 groups, including Group 1

control group; Group 2 MTX group (20 mg/kg); Group

3 MTX+RMT (20 mg/kg + 10 mg/kg); Group 4 RMT (10

mg/kg). Oral ramelteon and intraperitoneal mtx were

applied to the rats on the second day according to

the groups. After 7 days, long bones were evaluated

histologically with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and

immunohistochemically with Catepsin K and RUN X2

staining. For statistical analysis immunohistochemical

scores of the groups were compared between the

groups for this purpose, the Oneway ANOVA Duncan

test was used by SPSS-22.00 package program.

Results

There was no significant difference between the

control group (group I) and the experimental groups

(group II-group III-group IV) in H&E staining of bone

tissue sections (p>0.05). No positive staining was

observed in any of the groups in CAT-K and RUN-X

immunostaining (p>0.05).

Conclusion

It was showed that ramelteon has no anabolic

function in bone turnover, histopathological and

immunohistochemical, in bone toxicity induced by

high-dose methotrexate on intact bone tissue.

Published: September 2021

A series of five new fluoro-substituted aroylhydrazones were prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy, as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescence) and antifungal (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) activities by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method. The biological assay indicated that the presence of the electron-withdrawing groups in the aroylhydrazones improved their antimicrobial activities.
