Published: June 2023

There are important relationships between humic acid (HA) and the bioavailability, reactions and mobility of trace elements in the soil. For this reason, soils are tried to be improved chemically, biologically and physically with HA applications. In this study, the relationship of humic acid contents of 118 agricultural soil samples from Diyarbakır region with some trace elements (Al, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Fe, Mn, Pb, Sb, Sn, Se, V and P) was evaluated by multivariate statistical analysis. After the soil samples were solubilized by the microwave wet digestion method, the element contents were determined with the ICP OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer) device. SRM NIST 2586 was used as SRM (Standard Reference Material) for the accuracy of the method. Recovery values were found between 91.6% and 105.9% as a result of the analysis. Humic acid was extracted from soils by the International Society for Humic Substances (IHSS) method and determined using a shaker and centrifuge device. For the accuracy of the method, it was tested with Humic Acid Sodium Salt (HA-Na). Pearson correlation and partial correlation analysis were applied to the obtained data set. In addition, multivariate statistical analyses such as multiple regression HCA (Hierarchical Cluster Analysis) and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) were applied. Multiple regression analysis was performed according to the Step-wise method. Manganese and P (p< 0.01) were significant when HA was taken as the dependent variable. According to the Pearson correlation coefficient, the correlation between HA and As (r = -0.282**) in soil was negative and significant, while Fe (r = 0.185*), Mn (r = 0.273**)), Sn (r = 0.242*), Se (r = 0.325**) and P (r = 0.315**) were determined as positive and significant. In clustering and PCA analysis, HA, P Mn and Fe were found to be in the same group. The analyses have shown that HA has a positive effect on the plant nutrients in the soil.
Experiences of the Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Community in the University Setting
Authors: Simon Ashton , Noland Sarah , Krueger Julie , Sprod Lisa
Published: June 2023

Background: Transgender and gender non-conforming individuals face daily challenges in higher education due to a lack of gender-inclusive resources. This shortcoming is rooted in the minimal knowledge about what barriers affect this population.
Aims: The aims of this study were to identify fitness-related barriers faced by the transgender community in higher education and emphasize the need to develop fitness standards for the transgender population to reduce those barriers in higher education.
Methods: Participants completed one or both aspects of this study. A survey was sent to students to gather information about experiences in fitness at a university and how it relates to their gender. Several of the survey respondents then agreed to participate in a series of fitness assessments to evaluate muscular strength, endurance, and body composition.
Results: Seventy-nine students responded to the survey (n = 68 cisgender females, n = 5 cisgender males, n = 2, non-binary, n = 4 transgender males). Proportionally, more transgender and non-binary people (84%) felt that gendered fitness standards did not apply to them when compared to cisgender people (31%). Further, more transgender and non-binary respondents (50%) reported that they were not comfortable working out in all areas of their gym when compared to the cisgender respondents (37%). Twenty-eight students participated in the fitness assessment. The BOD POD assessment of body composition utilizes gender to calculate body fat percentage. When using both male and female classifications, results were not different, meaning the estimated body fat percentage was calculated as the same despite a different gender in the calculation.
Conclusions: This study begins to identify fitness-related barriers faced by the transgender community in higher education. Additionally, these small-scale results provide a starting point for future research on developing gender-neutral fitness standards.

Muhammadiyah, Sufism, and the quest for ‘authentic’ Islamic spirituality
Authors: Muttaqin Ahmad , Hamsah Ustadi , Abror Robby Habiba
Published: June 2023

This current paper explores and analyzes the trend of Sufism discourses and practices among Indonesian Muslim modernist-reformer organizations with special reference to the Muhammadiyah movement. The public tends to categorize Muhammadiyah as an anti-Sufism movement. A close study, however, shows that the existence of Sufism discourse and practices is a clear religious phenomenon among its individual figures and members, although organizationally Muhammadiyah does not recognize the existence of Sufi orders (tarekat). Based on the data collected from subjective-ethnographic notes of the organization’s programs and activities as well as literature studies of the organization documents, this study implements Stephen Katz’s philosophical model. It shows that Muhammadiyah is searching for Islamic spirituality by promoting the authenticity of tasawuf aspects, namely tauh}id or monotheism and akhlaq al-karimah or noble characters as reflected in the concept of ih}san. In this regard, Sufism is defined as a system of values and spirituality, not involved in a particular Sufi order. Muhammadiyah interprets Sufism as ethical values and ethos to do virtuous actions in society.
From separation between state and religion to religion-freeing state: the changing faces of secularism in Turkey
Authors: Mohd Nor Mohd Roslan , Ibrahim Muhammad Khalis
Published: June 2023

From the very beginning, the establishment of modern Turkey adhered to thesecularisation process, namely to separate the state from religious influence.Although religion has been marginalised, Islam remained a major societal force inTurkey. This scenario raises some questions: What is the idea of Turkish secularism?How can religion possess influence in the context of Turkey as a secular state?What is the form and orientation of secularism in Turkey? Therefore, this studyaims to answer these questions by scrutinising the idea, history, and orientation ofsecularism in Turkey. To fulfil this objective, we scrutinised documents and previousstudies related to Turkish secularism. Then, the idea of Turkish secularism was critically and chronologically analysed from the early time it was implemented upto the present time to assume its orientation. In the early time, Turkish secularismdid not solely separate the state from religion, but perceived that the state shouldcontrol religion as well. Its assertive nature has forced the emergence of a moreliberal version of secularism, which treats the idea of separation between the state and religion according to the notion of democracy, and hence, freed religion from the strict, tutelary state. Secularism in Turkey under the present regime is differentfrom before, as religious (Islamic) manifestation is increasingly visible in publicspaces even though the state remains secular. We argue that the present Turkishsecularism can become a “model” for other Muslim countries that are still dealingwith the conflict regarding the religion-state relationship.

Genetic Divergence in French Bean Accessions
Authors: Panda A. , Paul A.
Published: June 2023

Background: Crop improvement has paramount importance to meet the global demand of food to feed the growing human population. Methods: A total of 23 French bean genotypes with diverse genetic background were taken to assess their phenotypic attributes and molecular characterization using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The data collected during two growing seasons over four locations on different quantitative characters were pooled and analyzed under randomized complete block design for deciphering the extent of genetic diversity. Similarity value, based on Jaccard’s coefficient and UPGMA (un-weighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) analysis was calculated. The dendrogram was constructed using Jaccard’s similarity matrix for above analysis. Result: The genotypes showed a wide variation in morphological characters like plant height, pods per plant, pod weight, pod length and pod yield per plant. The genotype HAFB-5 showed the maximum potential for pod yield per plant and long pods. Four ISSR primers used in this study amplified 27 reproducible bands with 18 (66.66%) polymorphic. The genotype Kashi Param and HAFB-4 were found diverse among the selected genotypes on the basis of molecular markers.

Published: June 2023

Background: Fusarium wilt in lentil (Lens culinaris L.) infected by Fusarium oxysporum is considered as one of the major biotic factors for low productivity in lentil. The present study was conducted to determine nine Fusarium isolates (W1-W8 and W10) which were isolated from different lentil growing fields of West Bengal, India and were characterized for their physio-morphological, biochemical and molecular traits in vitro. Methods: Nine Fusarium infected lentil plant samples were collected from 9 different places of West Bengal. Pathogen was isolated from lentil samples using PDA media followed by cultural, morphological, pathogenic and molecular variability studies for all the isolates of Fusarium. Type of pigmentation, sporulation, conidia size of each isolate was recorded by observing culture plate after complete growth of the mycelium. Pathogenicity test were done to check the aggressiveness of all the 9 isolates of Fusarium in three varieties of lentil (Maitri, HUL-57 and BM-6). The isolated fungal DNA was amplified with specific primer pair, Forward primer ITS 1 and Reverse primer ITS 4. Result: Morphological assessment of 9 isolates showed distinct identification characters and variability. The mycelia of all the isolates were septate, profusely branched with differential pigmentation, texture and margin.All the Fusarium isolates produced micro-and macro-conidia in pure culture within seven days after inoculation and showed different morphological characters in pathogenicity test, variety Maitri showed better germination (100% in W2, W4, W6, W7, W8 and W10) and less disease severity against most of the strains (75% in W1) as compared to other two varieties against and hence variety Maitri taken into consideration for greenhouse and field trials. Furthermore, identification of molecular variability was performed by sequence analysis of rDNA-ITS region of each isolate and sequencing of rDNA-ITS region supported the morphological study and confirmed the associated fungi at species level.

Published: June 2023

Concerns about inappropriate drug use are increasing in geriatric patients. Potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) lists are being updated accordingly. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of PIM in elderly Turkish hemodialysis patients and to assess the association of patient’s characteristic as risk factors for PIMs in this population. Patients aged 65 years and over who were treated at two different hemodialysis centers were included in the study. Medical and sociodemographic information of the patients was obtained from patient’s files and medical records. Patients’ files and SGK-Online Medulla System were used to identify medications used by patients. PIMs were defined by using the modified Beers’ criteria independent of diagnosis and Beers’ Kidney-List. A total of 110 patients (mean age 73.31±6.4 years) were included in the study. 69 of the patients were male (62.7%) and 41 female (37.3%). Only 47.3% of the patients were independent in daily functioning. The average number of medications received by the patients was 7.3. When the charts in the patient files were examined, it was determined that 54.5% of all patients used PIM. However, when all prescribed drugs were scanned online from the Medulla-SGK system, it was found that inappropriate drugs were prescribed in 70.9% of the patients. A statistically significant relationship was found between the use of PIM and the total number of drugs used and the number of hospital admissions. The prevalence rate of PIM in elderly Turkish hemodialysis patients was higher. It is necessary to raise awareness of this in terms of reducing unwanted drug interactions and contributing economically.
Siege Culture After Siege: Anatomy of a Neo-Nazi Terrorist Doctrine
Authors: Johnson Bethan , Feldman Matthew
Published: June 2023

Since the end of 2016, Britain and the US have taken unprecedented steps to proscribe post war radical right groups; National Action, Sonnenkrieg Division, and Feuerkrieg Division by the former, and the Russian Imperial Movement by the latter. While these groups are serial purveyors of online extremism and often celebrate terrorism in their fora, deeper similarities extend to a shared ideological embrace of “accelerationism” and, in particular, a recently-revived doctrine advanced by the neo-Nazi ideologue, James Mason, now termed “Siege Culture.” Following an overview of this rehashing of revolutionary National Socialism, this ICCT report shows how the terroristic advocacy of “Siege Culture” has a radicalising effect on right-wing extremists. Then, for the first time, we introduce recent “Siege Culture” texts in light of the specific challenges posed for authorities facing the threat of political violence inspired by this praxis. After analysing Mason’s writings on one “Siege Culture” website following his return on the scene in 2017, this paper concludes with several recommendations for potential means of redress
Una acción pedagógica bidireccional. La segunda enseñanza en el Institut-Escola de la Generalitat y el Seminari de Pedagogia de la Universitat de Barcelona
Authors: Corell Domenech Mavi
Published: June 2023

El Institut-Escola de la Generalitat (1931-1939) formó parte durante la Segunda República española (1931-1939) del proyecto de renovación de la enseñanza en Catalunya. En este contexto, fue concebido como un experimento pedagógico, junto a la Escola Normal de Generalitat (1931-1939), para introducir en las aulas las nuevas pedagogías, la coeducación, y el catalán, además del castellano. Este proyecto finalizó con la victoria del fascismo en España tras una Guerra Civil (1936-1939).

En este artículo abordamos las relaciones del Institut-Escola, dirigido por Josep Estalella, y el Seminari de Pedagogía de la Universitat de Barcelona, por Joaquim Xirau. La coordinación entre ambos centros propició la formación del futuro profesorado de educación secundaria en las nuevas corrientes pedagógicas impulsadas por la Institución Libre de Enseñanza y su Instituto-Escuela de Madrid.

En este trabajo exponemos diversos aspectos relacionados con el Seminari y la Universitat de Barcelona, así como los cursos que impartían. Nos centramos en dos formaciones relacionadas con las ciencias naturales: el curso sobre enseñanza de las ciencias físico-químicas de Estallella, y el de botánica de Pius Font i Quer, profesor de la Facultad de Farmacia. En esta última participaron tres docentes del Institut-Escola, entre ellos la profesora Àngels Ferrer i Sensat. Concluimos que la formación del profesorado de secundaria fue en dos direcciones, desde el Institut-Escola, como laboratorio práctico de experiencias pedagógicas, y desde la Universitat, como centro académico de los saberes pedagógicos.

Trabzon kent merkezinde tarihi spor meydanı olma özelliğiyle eşsiz bir konuma sahip olan Kavak Meydanı,

batısında konumlanan Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadyumu’nun inşasıyla bu önemli görevini pekiştirmiştir. 66

yıl hizmet veren stadyumun eski ve yetersiz kaldığı gerekçesiyle 2018 yılında tamamen yıkılması, Kavak

Meydanı’nın üstlendiği tarihi spor kimliğini sekteye uğratmıştır. Meydanda uygulanan dönüşüm projesi

ile alanın tarihi ve belleği bağlamında toplumsal yeniden üretim süreci başlatılmıştır. Kavak Meydanı ve

Stadyumun, tarihsel bağlamda mekânsal üretim sürecine odaklanan çalışmada, yöntem olarak Lefebvre’nin

mekânsal üçlü teorisinde yer alan algılanan, tasarlanan ve yaşanan toplumsal mekân ögeleri aracılığıyla

mekânsal çözümlemeci bir yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Kavak Meydanı’nın tarihsel süreçteki gelişimi, kent

için önemi ve Hüseyin Avni Aker Stadyumu’nun inşasından yıkımına kadar süreci çok katmanlı fotografik

bir okuma ile desteklenmektedir. Stadyumun yıkım süreci ise yıkım söylentilerinin çıktığı 2012 yılından,

dönüşüm projesinin ilk etabının tamamlandığı 2021’e kadar ulusal ve yerel basında yer almış elektronik

gazete haberlerinde alana dair üretilen projeler ile söylemler üzerinden eleştirel bakış açısıyla tarihsel,

toplumsal, politik ve mekânsal bağlamda tartışılmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, toplumsal bir mekân olan Kavak

Ulusal Ermeni müziğinin kurucularından olup bu alandaki derleme çalışmalarıyla tanınan Rahip Gomidas

(1869-1935), 1896-1899 yılları arasında Berlin’de; Friedrich Wilhelm Üniversitesi ve Richard Schmidt’in

özel konservatuvarında felsefe ve müzik dersleri almış, bu öğrenimi süresince çeşitli tür ve formlarda

kompozisyon denemelerinde bulunmuştur. Bazıları tamamlanmamış olan bu eserlerin bir kısmını Gomidas:

Almanca Eserler ismiyle kitaplaştıran Lokmagözyan, çalışmasının girişinde, sunulan yapıtların tamamının

yüksek müzik değerine sahip olmadığını ifade etmekle birlikte, An den Wassern zu Babel başlıklı koro

parçasına bu bağlamda özel bir değer atfetmiştir. Gomidas’ın, bu yönlendirme üzerine mercek altına alınan

söz konusu eserinin (137. Mezmur: Babil Irmakları Kıyısında), seslendirme süresi, ton alanları ve müzik-dışı

göndermeleri dolayısıyla, Batı müziği tarzında yazmış olduğu diğer pek çok eserine göre daha yoğun bir

içeriğe sahip oluşu, bu kompozisyon üzerinden Gomidas’ın “besteci kimliğine” ışık tutma fikrini beraberinde

getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, bestecinin; koro ve piyano eşlikli sololar için yazdığı 137. Mezmur kompozisyonu

içerik-biçim analizine tabi tutulmuş, metin ile müziğin paralelliğini sağlama yolundaki adımları bu eser

özelinde incelenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen analiz doğrultusunda, bestecinin; müziği, kutsal metnin hizmetine

TÜRK KÜLTÜR VE SANATI’NDA MEHMED SİYAH KALEM MİNYATÜRLERİNİ OLUŞTURAN PLASTİK ÖĞELERİN İNCELENMESİ
Authors: BURUNSUZ Muteber
Published: June 2023

Orta Asya Türk Kültürü ve Türk Resim Sanatı açısından önemli bir yere sahip olan Mehmed Siyah Kalem’in

eserlerini XIV. ve XV. yüzyıllarda Maveraünnehir Türkistan’da oluşturduğu bilinmektedir. Mehmed Siyah

Kalem’in eserlerinden yaşadığı coğrafyanın kültürü, dönemi, bozkır ve göçebe yaşamı ile ilgili bilgi edinmek

mümkündür. Mehmed Siyah Kalem’in minyatürlerinde insan ve hayvan figürleri, figürlerin sınıfsal farklılıkları,

kıyafetler, objeler, aksesuarlar ve hikayeleştirilmiş sahnelerle karşılaşılmaktadır. Eserlerinin minyatürün

dışına taşan resimsel uygulamalar olduğu da dikkat çekmektedir. Orta Asya ve Şamanizme bağlı halkların

temsil edildiği resimlerde, şamanların mücadelesi, bozkır ve göçebe hayatına ilişkin gündelik sahnelerin, az

renkli, natüralist bir biçimde aktarıldığı görülmektedir. Araştırmada Mehmed Siyah Kalem’in Türk Kültür ve

Sanatı içerisindeki yerinin eserleri aracılığıyla çözümlenmesi, eserlerdeki kültürel ögelerin ise resmin plastik

elemanları çerçevesinde incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Plastik öğeler içerisinde Mehmed Siyah Kalem’in

kullanmış olduğu renklere, anatomiye, hacimlendirme ve deformasyonlara değinilmektedir. Araştırmada

Mehmed Siyah Kalem’in Orta Asya kültürünü sanatına yansıttığı minyatürler oluşturduğu, minyatürlerdeki

figürlerde beden anatomisi ve kas yapılarının anatomik çözümlemesinde renklerin açık ve koyu değerlerine

yer verdiği izlenmektedir. Gündelik yaşam içerisindeki sahnelerin tiyatro sahnesi gibi izleyiciye sunulduğu,

figürlerin portrelerindeki duyguların ifadeci bir anlayışla aktarıldığı görülmektedir. Mehmed Siyah Kalem’in

minyatürlerinde Orta Asya ve Türk Kültürü’ne ait olan izler aracılığıyla, bozkır ve göçebe yaşamına tanıklık

edildiği sonucuna varılmaktadır.

Published: June 2023

Breast cancer continues to be a difficult disease to treat due to high rates of metastasis. Metastasis to the brain presents a unique and often overlooked challenge. In this focused review, we discuss the epidemiology of breast cancer and which types frequently metastasize to the brain. Novel treatment approaches are highlighted with supporting scientific evidence. The role of the blood-brain barrier and how it may become altered with metastasis is addressed. We then highlight new innovations for Her2-positive and triple-negative breast cancer. Finally, recent directions for luminal breast cancer are discussed. This review serves to enhance understanding of pathophysiology, spark continued innovation, and provide a user-friendly resource through tables and easy-to-process figures.
Artificial Intelligence: A Kalam and Sufi Perspective
Authors: Khalili A. M.
Published: June 2023

The recent remarkable progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has renewed the discussion on the possibility of human-level AI. Despite the difficulty of the problem and the presence of many large gaps and challenges, most people working in the field think that human-level AI is achievable, but they disagree on the date. In this paper, I briefly discuss the possibility of human-level AI from the perspective of two traditions in the Islamic world, namely Kalam and Sufism, and despite their different mode of investigation, they converge to the same conclusion on this topic.

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a Southeast Asian plant containing various alkaloids which induce pharmacological effects in humans. In Western countries, online vendors sell a variety of different kratom strains which are marketed to have distinct effect profiles. However, as of yet such marketing claims are unsubstantiated, and therefore the current study investigated whether differently colored kratom products can induce unique effects, as self-reported by users. 644 current kratom users were anonymously surveyed to compare the self-reported effects and motivations for using kratom products sold as red, green, and white strains. Most of the survey respondents were customers of the same kratom vendor, the products of which had been assessed for their alkaloid content by an independent laboratory. The survey respondents reported distinct subjective experiences for different kratom strains, in a manner congruent with common marketing descriptions. However, the product analyses revealed no significant cross-strain differences in alkaloid content, suggesting that the reported effect differences might be disproportionally influenced by marketing narratives and anecdotal reports. Future studies should engage a more diverse population and include kratom strains from various vendors. Controlled, blinded experiments could assess whether the reported effect differences stem from a placebo effect or from alternative factors, e.g. minor alkaloids and terpenes.
Amyloid Degradation Toxicity Hypothesis: Integrative Theory of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Zaretsky Dmitry V. , Zaretskaia Maria V.
Published: June 2023

Amyloid degradation toxicity hypothesis is the integrative theory of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It successfully interprets phenomena and paradoxes associated with AD pathobiology. The hypothesis explains the limitations of currently used biomarkers of AD and proposes etiology-related parameters. These parameters could be measured in humans and become novel diagnostic and prognostic clinical tools. Based on the proposed framework, we foresee the development of effective medications to treat, stall the progression of, or prevent the development of the disease. The promise is supported by published preclinical data. This manuscript summarizes the amyloid degradation toxicity hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease at different levels of organization.
Evaluation of Hepatic/Renal and Splenic/Renal Echointensity Ratio by Ultrasonography in Diabetic Nephropathy
Authors: Kalfaoglu Melike Elif
Published: June 2023

The objective of this study is to assess the hepatic/renal and splenic/renal echointensity ratios in ultrasonography in patients with and without diabetic nephropathy. This retrospective study included patients with diabetes mellitus who underwent ultrasound examinations at our hospital between January 2023 and May 2023. Ultrasound examinations done with renal cortical echogenicity and cortico-medullary differentiation by using B-mode ultrasonography. The hepatic/renal and splenic/renal echo intensity ratios were compared among study groups (diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy and without nephropathy). The diabetic nephropathy group exhibited significantly higher right renal echointensity and left renal echointensity compared to the non-nephropathic group. Additionally, the splenic/renal echointensity ratio and hepatic/renal echointensity ratio were significantly lower in the diabetic nephropathy group. Urinary microalbumin levels was significantly correlated with Right renal echointensity (r=0.65, p<0.001) and Left renal echointensity (r=0.69, p<0.001). There was also a significant inverse correlation between urinary albumin and splenic/renal echointensity ratio (r=-0.58, p<0.001). Ultrasonography, specifically the assessment of hepatic/renal and splenic/renal echointensity ratios, shows promise as a non-invasive and cost-effective method for evaluating morphological changes in the kidneys in patients with diabetic nephropathy. These findings suggest that ultrasonography can be a valuable tool for monitoring the progression of diabetic nephropathy and contributing to its early detection and management.

The Huayangchuan uranium deposit, located in the west of the Xiaoqinling belt on the southern margin of the North China Craton, is a polymetallic deposit dominated by U, Nb, Pb, and rare earth elements. The Huayangchuan uranium deposit, discovered in the 1950s, has long been known as a carbonatite-type uranium deposit. Recently, new geological work has found uranium mineralisation in many granitic pegmatite veins in the Huayangchuan deposit and adjacent areas. Here, we report a systematic investigation of the petrography, whole-rock geochemistry, zircon U-Pb ages, and in situ Lu-Hf isotopic characteristics of newly discovered U-rich granitic pegmatite veins in the west of Huayangchuan deposit. The petrological results showed that the lithology of the samples is equivalent to that of granite. The U-Pb ages of zircon were 1826.3 ± 7.9 and 1829 ± 11 Ma. Microscopically, the symbiotic characteristics of zircon, betafite, and uraninite exist in the intergranular fissures of K-feldspar and quartz, reflecting metallogenic phenomena in the rock formation process. Almost all whole-rock samples were rich in SiO2 (64.37–70.69 wt.%), total alkalis (K2O+Na2O = 8.50–10.30 wt.%), and Al2O3 (12.20–14.41 wt.%), but poor in Ti2O (0.23–0.73 wt.%), MgO (0.38–0.90 wt.%), P2O5 (0.14–0.83 wt.%), MnO (0.04–0.57 wt.%). Additionally, they showed enrichment of LILEs (such as Rb, Ba, Th, U, and K), depletion of HFSEs (such as Ta, Nb, P, Ti, and Hf), no alkaline dark minerals, and the characteristics are typical of intraplate A1-type granite. The A1-type granite displayed low zircon εHf(t) values (-19.42– -15.02) with zircon two-stage Hf model aged 3.10–2.76 Ga, indicating that the U-rich granitic pegmatite was derived predominantly from partial melting of the ancient continental crust (such as the early Taihua group formed in Archean-Neoarchean). Combined with the above results and regional geological data, the U-rich granitic pegmatite discovered in the Huayangchuan deposit was related to granite magma activity that formed in a post-collisional regime after the Luliang movement in the late Palaeoproterozoic. This study suggests that future uranium prospecting work in this area should focus on late Palaeoproterozoic U-rich granitic pegmatites.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is the most effective long-term treatment for Class III obesity. Reduced dietary intake is considered a behavioral driver of post-surgical weight loss, but limited data have examined this association. Therefore, this study examined prospective, longitudinal relationships between dietary intake and weight loss over 24 months following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy. Relationships between weight loss and dietary intake were examined using a validated 24-hour dietary recall method. Associations between total energy/macronutrient intake and weight loss outcomes were assessed at 12-, 18-, and 24-months following MBS, defining patients as “responders” and “suboptimal responders” according to the Reinhold criteria of 50% excess weight loss. Consistent with previous literature, 12-month responders and suboptimal responders showed significant associations between weight loss and dietary intake. Unlike previous work, this study revealed that many of these associations are no longer significant 24 months post-MBS, despite consistent weight loss trends. This study suggests a short-term signal between these dietary factors and weight loss outcomes 12 months post-MBS, consistent with previous observations. However, this signal does not persist beyond 12 months. These results are essential for interpreting and designing clinical studies measuring long-term post-surgical weight loss outcomes.

Surimi consists in a technique for concentrating myofibrillar proteins with gelling ability, which aims to make use of by-products from fish slaughter, such as bullfrog back, which can be basis for the manufacture of emulsified products. Due to the strategic need to develop clean label foods, products such as collagen have been reported as potential natural additives with bioactive properties. The objective was to elaborate a surimi from the mechanically separated bullfrog back and to develop an emulsion, replacing the soy lecithin used by hydrolyzed collagen, evaluating its emulsifying and antioxidant potential during 120 days of storage under freezing. Three meat emulsions were prepared: EC0 (100% soy lecithin), EC50 (50% soy lecithin + 50% collagen), and EC100 (100% collagen), which were subjected to analysis of chemical composition, emulsion stability, water holding capacity, luminosity, whiteness, texture profile, TBARS and antioxidant activity. Insertion of collagen increased whiteness, lightness, hardness, and chewiness values compared to the EC0, but showed greater fluid loss. All treatments showed stable WHC values (88 – 91%) over time. Replacement with collagen was satisfactory as an emulsifier and as an antioxidant, and the EC50 and EC100 treatments were not negatively affected in the investigated parameters.

(1) Background: Metabolic syndrome is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease thus the objective of the study was to verify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in farmers, as well as to verify the association with sociodemographic, work and lifestyle factors. (2) Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study, carried out with 790 individuals. For the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria were used. Pearson's chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used to verify factors associated with metabolic syndrome (3) Results: The prevalence of MS according to the IDF criteria was 16.3% overall, with 9.7% of women (95% CI: 6.66–16.16) and 6.6% of men (95% CI: 5.17–11.97). According to the NCEP/ATP III criterion, it was 12.3% overall, with 7.5% corresponding to women (95% CI: 6.62 – 13.13) and 4.8% to men (95% CI: 3.5 – 8.70). With regard to the conditions that make up metabolic syndrome, it was found that high density lipoprotein, high blood pressure and high waist circumference were the most prevalent. (4) Conclusions: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is considerable in the population when compared to other regions, both rural and urban, in Brazil.
