Memória de Futuro ou depois da curva de estrada, o movimento antimilitarista ibérico entre 1980 e 1999
Authors: Louçã João Carlos
Published: May 2021

O trabalho de terreno com os pés assentes no presente etnográfico que interroga invariavelmente o passado e os seus usos para vislumbrar o futuro, comporta com frequência momentos de espanto. Na antropologia que olha o tempo que está para vir como um caleidoscópio de possibilidades em aberto, essas ocasiões sugerem conexões entre mundos que se cruzam, que por vezes divergem e podem voltar a encontrar-se, traçando sempre caminhos inesperados para a investigação projetada. Em comunidades que procuram na complexidade do presente a simplicidade de formas de vida desejadas, que concretizam utopias nas formas de produzir, trocar, educar ou decidir entre si, que transformam precariedade em possibilidade continuada, alguns desses momentos emergiram com estrondo. Nos Pirinéus do Alto Aragão vivem pessoas que desde os anos 70 do século passado influenciaram decisivamente o movimento antimilitarista em Portugal no final da década de 80. Este movimento contestou o serviço militar obrigatório, a pertençaà Nato e a lógica da guerra fria que espalhava mísseis pela Europa num braço de ferro que ninguém podia ganhar, envolveu uma geração urbana que da revolução de 1974 vivia o tempo de normalização e do discurso que repudiava os “excessos da revolução”. Para os jovens em torno do Movimento Tropa Não português, o exemplo espanhol da insubmissão ao serviço militar, da objeção de consciência que fez milhares de prisões no Estado vizinho mobilizando amplos setores, foi inspiração e cumplicidade, motor de arranque e argumento. Mais de trinta anos depois, estes encontros fazem das memórias de quem investiga material fundamental para acompanhar aquilo que se procura entender no tempo longo de uma vida ou no de movimentos sociais que ganham outras causas. A melancolia que Enzo Traverso (2019) aponta como característica para a esquerda do século XXI por não ter novas esperanças coletivas no horizonte, poderá estar a ser contrariada nos exemplos de lutas que se inscrevem na história dos territórios. Tratase do tempo histórico pensado no plural através da multiplicidade de tempos que se sobrepõem em interações que constantemente remetem para as suas dimensões entre passado e futuro
Intranasal Administration of Oxytocin Attenuates Social Recognition Deficits and Increases Prefrontal Cortex Inhibitory Postsynaptic Currents following Traumatic Brain Injury

Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in heightened risk for social deficits that can emerge during adolescence and adulthood. A moderate TBI in male and female rats on postnatal day 11 (equivalent to children below the age of 4) resulted in impairments in social novelty recognition, defined as the preference for interacting with a novel rat compared with a familiar rat, but not sociability, defined as the preference for interacting with a rat compared with an object in the three-chamber test when tested at four weeks (adolescence) and eight weeks (adulthood) postinjury. The deficits in social recognition were not accompanied by deficits in novel object recognition memory and were associated with a decrease in the frequency of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) recorded from pyramidal neurons within Layer II/III of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Whereas TBI did not affect the expression of oxytocin (OXT) or the OXT receptor (OXTR) mRNAs in the hypothalamus and mPFC, respectively, intranasal administration of OXT before behavioral testing was found to reduce impairments in social novelty recognition and increase IPSC frequency in the mPFC in brain-injured animals. These results suggest that TBI-induced deficits in social behavior may be linked to increased excitability of neurons in the mPFC and suggests that the regulation of GABAergic neurotransmission in this region as a potential mechanism underlying these deficits.

The long cellular architecture of neurons requires regulation in part through transport and anchoring events to distribute intracellular organelles. During development, cellular and subcellular events such as organelle additions and their recruitment at specific sites on the growing axons occur over different time scales and often show interanimal variability thus making it difficult to identify specific phenomena in population averages. To measure the variability in subcellular events such as organelle positions, we developed a microfluidic device to feed and immobilizeCaenorhabditis elegansfor high-resolution imaging over several days. The microfluidic device enabled long-term imaging of individual animals and allowed us to investigate organelle density using mitochondria as a testbed in a growing neuronal processin vivo. Subcellular imaging of an individual neuron in multiple animals, over 36 h in our microfluidic device, shows the addition of new mitochondria along the neuronal process and an increase in the accumulation of synaptic vesicles (SVs) at synapses. Long-term imaging of individualC. eleganstouch receptor neurons (TRNs) shows that the addition of new mitochondria takes place along the entire neuronal process length at a rate of ∼0.6 mitochondria/h. The threshold for the addition of a new mitochondrion occurs when the average separation between the two preexisting mitochondria exceeds 24 μm. Our assay provides a new opportunity to move beyond simple observations obtained fromin vitroassays to allow the discovery of genes that regulate positioning of mitochondria in neurons.
Designing a Coherence- & Concept-Based Modular Course to Facilitate Students’ Understanding of Crosscutting Concepts
Authors: Jin Dongxue , Liu Enshan
Published: May 2021

Crosscutting concepts (CCCs) are superordinate in the scientific concept system, common across disciplines, and very abstract. These characteristics, with the addition of incoherence in their curricular presentation, can challenge instructors. We designed a modular course based on coherence and conceptual understanding. The course structure was arranged in accordance with intra- and inter-unit coherence of CCCs, and each lesson was prepared according to “concept-based instruction” and the “5E instructional model.” The results of the pretest and posttest and the semi-structured interviews consistently showed that the participating high school students significantly improved their understanding of CCCs, thus supporting the effectiveness of the modular course.

Published: May 2021

Recent issues around reproducibility, best practices, and cultural bias impact naturalistic observational approaches as much as experimental approaches, but there has been less focus on this area. Here, we present a new approach that leverages cross-laboratory collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts to examine important psychological questions. We illustrate this approach with a particular project that examines similarities and differences in children’s early experiences with language. This project develops a comprehensive start-to-finish analysis pipeline by developing a flexible and systematic annotation system, and implementing this system across a sampling from a “metacorpus” of audiorecordings of diverse language communities. This resource is publicly available for use, sensitive to cultural differences, and flexible to address a variety of research questions. It is also uniquely suited for use in the development of tools for automated analysis.

Published: May 2021

The pan-Arctic domain is undergoing some of Earth’s most rapid and significant changes resulting from anthropogenic and climate-induced alteration of freshwater distribution. Changes in terrestrial freshwater discharge entering the Arctic Basin from pan-Arctic watersheds significantly impact oceanic circulation and sea ice dynamics. Historical streamflow records in high-latitude basins are often discontinuous (seasonal or with large temporal gaps) or sparse (poor spatial coverage), however, making trends from observed records difficult to quantify. Our objectives were to generate a more continuous 90-year record (1981–2070) of spatially distributed freshwater flux for the Arctic Basin (all Arctic draining rivers, including the Yukon), suitable for forcing ocean models, and to analyze the changing simulated trends in freshwater discharge across the domain. We established these data as valid during the historical period (1971–2015) and then used projected futures (preserving uncertainty by running a coupled climate-hydrologic ensemble) to analyze long-term (2021–2070) trends for major Arctic draining rivers. When compared to historic trends reported in the literature, we find that trends are projected to nearly double by 2070, with river discharge to the Arctic Basin increasing by 22% (on average) by 2070. We also find a significant trend toward earlier onset of spring freshet and a general flattening of the average annual hydrograph, with a trend toward decreasing seasonality of Arctic freshwater discharge with climate change and regulation combined. The coupled climate-hydrologic ensemble was then used to force an ocean circulation model to simulate freshwater content and thermohaline circulation. This research provides the marine research community with a daily time series of historic and projected freshwater discharge suitable for forcing sea ice and ocean models. Although important, this work is only a first step in mapping the impacts of climate change on the pan-Arctic region.
Vascular biology of uterine fibroids: connecting fibroids and vascular disorders

Published: May 2021

Fibroids are benign tumors caused by the proliferation of myometrial smooth muscle cells in the uterus that can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, constipation, urinary retention, and infertility. While traditionally thought of as a disease process intrinsic to the uterus, accumulating evidence suggests that fibroid growth may be linked with the systemic vasculature system, although cell-intrinsic factors are certainly of principal importance in their inception. Fibroids are associated with essential hypertension and preeclampsia, as well as atherosclerosis, for reasons that are becoming increasingly elucidated. Factors such as the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, estrogen, and endothelial dysfunction all likely play a role in fibroid pathogenesis. In this review, we lay out a framework for reconceptualizing fibroids as a systemic vascular disorder, and discuss how pharmaceutical agents and other interventions targeting the vasculature may aid in the novel treatment of fibroids.

Authors: Петрова Ангеліна
Published: May 2021

Мета: визначити ступінь зміни рівня фізичної підготовленості школярів 10–11-х класів під впливом вправ кросфіту.

Матеріал і методи: теоретичний аналіз і узагальнення науково-методичної літератури; педагогічне тестування, педагогічний експеримент та методи математичної статистики. Для визначення рівня фізичної підготовленості школярів 10–11-х класів використовувалися тести: піднімання прямих ніг у висі (кількість разів); біг на місці з інтен-сивністю 70% від максимальної до вираженого стомлення (с); «човниковий» біг 4Ч9 м (с); біг на 60 м (с) та попере-чний шпагат (см). Досліджувані результати порівнювалися з нормами і оцінювалися певною кількістю балів. Статистичний аналіз: матеріали дослідження оброблялися з використанням ліцензованої програми Excel. У дослідженні взяли участь 113 школярів 10–11-х класів.

Результати: на початку навчального року здійснено констатувальне дослідження, згідно якого встановлено «середній» рівень (3 бали) фізичної підготовленості у школярів 16–17-ти років. За результатами первинного до-слідження учнів було розподілено на основні та контрольні групи для проведення формувального експерименту. Школярі контрольних груп займалися лише за загальноприйнятою державною програмою з фізичної культури для 10–11 класів закладів загальної середньої освіти, а навчальний процес з фізичного виховання школярів основних груп був доповнений варіативним модулем «Кросфіт». Згідно досліджень, які отримані після проведення педагогічного експерименту встановлено, що у школярів основних груп рівень фізичної підготовленості підвищився з «се-реднього» рівня до «вище за середній» та став дорівнювати 4 бали. У досліджуваних контрольних групах зміни на оціночній шкалі не виявлені. У віковому аспекті спостерігається в основному покращення результатів з віком, як у школярів основних, так і контрольних груп (р>0,05). За статтю виявлено, переважно, достовірне превалювання даних юнаків над показниками дівчат (р<0,05–0,001).

Висновки: виявлено позитивний вплив вправ кросфіту на рівень фізичної підготовленості учнів 10–11-х класів основних груп.

Ключові слова: варіативний модуль, кросфіт, учні старших класів, фізична підготовленість, уроки фізичної культури, рухова активність.
Labeling Theory On the Legal Expression of Police Clearance Certificate
Authors: Farhani Athari , Yulianto Ahmad
Published: May 2021

Through state-owned equipment, the police are empowered to issue a Police Clearance Certificate (SKCK). However SKCK cannot label someone if someone is evil or not. Whereas written legal norms are characterized by legal certainty, in other words, law without certainty values will lose its meaning because it can no longer be used as a code of conduct for everyone. By reviewing references or literature related to criminal acts, prevention of crime, legal certainty and authority. SKCK is a preventive action carried out by the police institution as the State institution that has the authority over security and order. The responsibility for crime prevention is carried out by the National Police and the public by carrying out pre-emptive and preventive tasks, namely making community members obey and obey the law. Polri is responsible for approximately 20% of activities while 80% of other activities are the responsibility of the community which consists of various elements. The most important thing is that the label of criminal  not criminal is the authority of the court. So that SKCK is not based on crime prevention but is based on the concept of labeling.
Concept of non-violence in Islam and Jainism
Authors: Nikoo Azam Khodashenas , Padmashekar  , Namdar Abdoullah
Published: May 2021

Many reasons can be offered for the employment of non-violence, it breaks the cycle of violence and counter-violence, and also it is the surest way of achieving public sympathy. It is the only method of struggle that is consistent with the teachings of the major religions. Non-violence can also be the basis for a way of life. It is consistent with a belief in the underlying unity of humankind. Truth and non-violence are not possible without a living belief in God. It is a fact that non-violent activism is more powerful and effective than violent activism. By the very law of nature all bad things are associated with violence, while all good things are associated with non-violence. Violent activities breed hatred in society, while non-violent activities elicit love. Violence is the way of destruction while non-violence is the way of construction. The program of Islam is divided to bring peace into three main phases: 1) peace with God, 2) peace within the community, and 3) peace with others. In the Qur’an peace is one of God’s names and the word sabr exactly expresses the notion of non-violence, as it is understood in modern times. Religion emphasizes that peace of mind comes from tolerance and contentment. In Jainism, non-violence is not limited to refraining from mental, verbal and physical injury to human beings. It encompasses abstaining from injury to all living beings – all animals and plants.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) literacy of Hungarian English majors: A validation study
Authors: Fekete Imre
Published: May 2021

Information and communications technology (ICT) inclusion has long been at the forefront of professional language pedagogy discourse. It has been argued that ICT implementation is globally advocated but depends on local variables. ICT literacy nowadays does not only include owning and operating devices, but also the ability to create content, solve problems and minding digital safety. The aims of this study were to validate a questionnaire mapping the ICT literacy of one particular group of adult learners: Hungarian English majors (N = 45) and to offer some preliminary results. After two rounds of reliability analysis, all nine constructs of the questionnaire proved to be reliable, each above a minimum Cronbach's alpha value of 0.60. Based on the questionnaire results, it can be said that Hungarian English majors have good digital competences, ICT devices are generally available for them, but their ICT acceptance is lower than hypothesised, and devices emerge as learning tools for students rather than substitutes for face-to-face interaction. Since the questionnaire was piloted on a small sample size (N = 45), results are only preliminary; therefore, this article outlines plans for future administration of the questionnaire.

Desmoid tumors (also called desmoids fibromatosis) are rare slow growing benign and musculoaponeurotic tumors. Although these tumors have a propensity to invade surrounding tissues, they are not malignant. These tumors are associated with women of fertile age, especially during and after pregnancy and postoperative surgeries. Our clinical case is interesting because of the rarity of the pathology and the difficulties in setting the correct diagnosis. The patient, with a history of laparoscopic myomectomy (2012), was preparing for a routine surgery for the endometrioma of the anterior abdominal wall, according to the results of the ultrasound and computed tomography. After surgical treatment, the final diagnosis was changed, based on the histological findings. Key words: desmoid tumor, abdominal wall tumor, fibroid.

The objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed therapy in pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria. Materials and methods. All patients were divided into two groups. І group – 38 patients received the course of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid 625 mg per os twice a day for 7 days, group II – 33 patients received D-mannose (1.2 g), powder of 5.8 g in a sachet 2 times a day for 7 days. Diagnostic criteria for asymptomatic bacteriuria were based on practical recommendations of the American Society of Infectious Diseases. Results. In the first cultural research of the urine specimen (immediately after the end of the course of therapy), the percentage of microorganism’s persistence in the urinary tract of a woman was determined, in case of its detection, an additional course of treatment was prescribed. In the second and subsequent control urine samples, the percentage of relapsing bacteriuria was determined. Percentage of the persistence of the pathogen in the urinary tract among the treated women with bacteriuria remained rather low – 10.5% (4 patients) in group I, but higher than in group II 3.1% (1 patient). The percentage of sterile first urine sample was high and probably did not differ between groups – 31 (81.6%) and 32 (96.9%) women respectively in I and II groups. In the first group, the percentage of relapses during gestation after the diagnosed and treated bacteriuria remained rather high and amounted to 23.7% (9 patients), and in the second group, the relapse was not recorded. Conclusions. The 7-day course of therapy with the D-mannose drug is associated with fewer cases of persistent pathogenic pathogens in urine, no recurrence of bacterial infection, and no side effects. Key words: asymptomatic bacteriuria, D-mannose, urinary tract, pregnancy.

IRF3 has gained recognition as a key transcriptional regulator of type1 interferon (IFN) gene expression which induces response to pathogenic infection. The advancement in technology and molecular biology has led to bioinformatics, this field is widely accepted because it is effective and saves time. This study made use of bioinformatics approach to identify and characterize IRF3 in four mammalian species namely: cattle, rabbit, pig and water buffalo. Evolutionary relationships inferred among the IRF3 of four mammalian and other species showed a high level of relatedness. Leucine was the most abundant residue while serine which plays a major role in maintenance of a healthy immune system was present in all the species. The information obtained in this study could serve as a guide when using the IRF3 gene as a marker to select animals for disease resistance because of the critical role they play in antiviral defense.

Authors: ENCULESCU Marinela
Published: May 2021

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of fresh yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) supplementation in the dairy cows’ diets on productive performances and health status. The study was carried out in the experimental farm of the Research and Development Institute for Bovine Balotești on 50 multiparous Romanian Black and Spotted dairy cows, randomly divided into two groups (N = 25 heads/group), according to age, milk yield, body weight and health status. The experimental group received 80 g Saccharomyces cerevisiae/head/day for one year. The groups were fed with the same diet and had free access to water and salt. Results were expressed as a mean (±Standard Deviation). The t-test was applied to obtain the significance of difference. Supplementation of the diet with Saccharomyces cerevisiae had a significant effect (P <0.001) on milk yield (20.71±1.65 l/head/day) for the experimental group comparing with the control group (18.22±1.81 l/head/day), and on milk protein and lactose (P <0.05). The addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in dairy cows’ diet did not improve the milk fat, hematological and biochemical/urine indicators in the experimental group (P >0.05). However, for alkaline phosphatase, differences at the end of the study have been observed (P <0.01). The beneficial effect of the yeast and yeast products in ruminants could be attributed to microbial activity by increasing the number of beneficial bacteria in the rumen of the animals. The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as an alternative source of economic protein, vitamins and minerals in dairy cows’ diet represents an effective measure to optimize animal productivity.

Milk price tendency is essential for the national economy and protection of milk producers. The constant need to align with European standards motivate this study to assess the interaction of milk prices in our country compared to the European Union. The objective of the study was to statistically compare the prices from Romania and UE. For a deep overview we took into consideration the quantity from Romania and most important qualitative milk parameters namely protein and fat content. The data was from 6 years from 2013 until 2018 and from all four seasons. Analysis of variance was performed together with mean comparisons between different years and seasons. Milk medium prices were higher with at least 20% in UE compared to Romania. Prices were higher in autumn and winter rather than in spring and summer proportionally with the quantity of milk. Protein and fat content was significantly higher in autumn and winter season.

Replacing wheat flour with protein rich flours, determine changes in the rheology of the dough and in the quality of the finished. The study of the rheological behavior of the dough when replacing 10% wheat flour with plant protein flours. Mixtures of wheat flour and 10% protein rich ingredients were used: Pleurotus flour, pea protein isolate, protein hydrolysate from corn, soy protein isolate, oat protein, hemp protein, sea buckthorn protein. Mixolab system was used to perform the rheological analysis of the dough. Water absorption ranged from 57.1% in the wheat flour sample with the addition of hemp seed protein ingredients and 67.4% in the wheat flour sample with the addition of soy protein isolate. The sample with Pleurotus flour had the lowest degree of soaking (C2=0.226). The gelatinization of the starch took place at different temperatures depending on the sample, being between 79.1-84.5°C. The temperature range for enzymatic activation was between 86.4-88.8°C. The rheological characteristics of the samples are influenced by the type of added flour and the amount of protein present in each sample.

The most important nutritional feature of mollusks is their lipid composition. Marine bivalves are a good source of high quality lipid, mainly because they concentrate eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. Meanwhile, these n-3 Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (LC-PUFAs) are essential in the fight against inflammation, preventing depression, reducing weight and waist size, decreasing liver fat and promoting mental wellbeing. Typically, marine bivalves have a low saturated fatty acid content and a high n-3 LC-PUFA concentration, which is usually absent in most foods. Freshwater bivalves generally contain lower proportions of n-3 PUFA than marine bivalves; the lipid quality also differ in farmed and wild species. The focus of this review is on physiological important n-3 LC-PUFA present in marine bivalves, with an emphasis on the indicators for assessing quality and the effects of heat on bivalve lipid.

Published: May 2021

The present study investigated the carotenoid content and composition of several commercial eggs produced in different housing systems and the amount of macular xanthophylls that becomes available for absorption by the intestinal cells (bio-accessible) after the ingestion of boiled organic egg yolks. The highest total carotenoid content was observed in the case of organic egg yolks (7.02 mg/100 g). Carotenoid concentration varied not only between egg yolks obtained through different housing methods (free-range, barn and battery-cage), but also between egg yolks from the same housing method obtained by different producers. Except for organic egg yolks that had lutein and zeaxanthin as the major carotenoids, canthaxanthin was observed in all the investigated egg yolks to a different extent. Both lutein and zeaxanthin displayed a high bioaccessibility from boiled organic egg yolks, 86% and 91%, respectively).

Published: May 2021

The emergent life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, techniques and models were punctuated by divergences concerning the system expansion, allocation rules and causation modeling. Moreover, the unification of the economic, social and ecological perspectives in the life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) should be addressed by abstract models providing coherence and normalization. The purpose of this study was to identify, in the context of biomass waste processing into biofuels, some of the most representative generic and specific issues and theoretical gaps encountered in LCA and LCSA modeling, and to synthesize a list of requirements by analyzing some of the most consistent state of the art solutions, in order to develop an abstract LCSA model. The literature review covered selected studies on LCSA and biomass to biofuels and lignocellulosic agricultural waste valorization LCA techniques. A list of requirements resulted from the significant approaches, in support of a formal model to be developed.

Published: May 2021

The type of the root system development of different species and cultivars gives valuable information for choosing of proper rootstock/scion combinations in different soils and soil horizons, the establishment of active rhizosphere where the input nutrition can give maximum results. Researches showed that cherry grafted on a vigorous rootstock in molic eutricambosoil develops a root system which is mainly horizontally spread (88-90°), in some rare cases with angles of 45°, with 5-7 strong V order roots (>80 mm) which provides good anchorage for trees. To the periphery the roots reached up to 6.5-8.5 m in the old trees and 3.5 m in the young trees. The depth of the root system achieved 2.0-2.5 m in the old trees and 1.0-1.5 m in the young trees. The highest quantity of roots were observed between 18-60 cm depth in both young and old trees.
