Oculomotor Contributions to Foveal Crowding
Authors: Clark Ashley M. , Huynh Aaron , Poletti Martina
Published: October 2024

Crowding, the phenomenon of impaired visual discrimination due to nearby objects, has been extensively studied and linked to cortical mechanisms. Traditionally, crowding has been studied extrafoveally; its underlying mechanisms in the central fovea, where acuity is highest, remain debated. While low-level oculomotor factors are not thought to play a role in crowding, this study shows that they are key factors in defining foveal crowding. Here, we investigate the influence of fixational behavior on foveal crowding and provide a comprehensive assessment of the magnitude and extent of this phenomenon (N = 13 human participants, four males). Leveraging on a unique blend of tools for high-precision eyetracking and retinal stabilization, we show that removing the retinal motion introduced by oculomotor behavior with retinal stabilization, diminishes the negative effects of crowding. Ultimately, these results indicate that ocular drift contributes to foveal crowding resulting in the same pooling region being stimulated both by the target and nearby objects over the course of time, not just in space. The temporal aspect of this phenomenon is peculiar to crowding at this scale and indicates that the mechanisms contributing to foveal and extrafoveal crowding differ.

Una lectura de “apertura” de la II Conferencia General del Episcopado Latinoamericano (Medellín). Apuntes para el diálogo ecuménico e interreligioso
Authors: Sanmiguel Martínez Fernando Alexánder
Published: October 2024

The present work will attempt to analyze the document of the second conference of the Latin American episcopate - held in the city of Medellín - (1968), tracing the subsequent documents of the general conferences until Aparecida (2007); with the intention of exploring the notion of the categories of “ecumenism” and “interreligious dialogue”. From the above, we seek to see the narrative transformations of the conferences, the influence of the Second Vatican Council on the commitment of the Latin American Church, the confluence of discourses, contexts and interpretative forms; Thus, an attempt will be made to find the central points to see “ecumenism” and “interreligious dialogue” historically in their advancement and/or regression.
Una excursión a los indios ranqueles
Authors: Mansilla Lucio V.
Published: October 2024

El coronel Lucio Victorio Mansilla residía en la Villa de la Concepción del Río Cuarto (provincia de Córdoba) cuando entre 30 de marzo y el 17 de abril de 1870 realizó, con un pequeño grupo de hombres, el viaje hacia el sur con el que pretendía confirmar en las propias tolderías de los ranqueles el pacto que entre estos y el gobierno argentino él mismo había impulsado, para poner fin a las violentas incursiones de los indios que asolaban los territorios próximos a la frontera. El diario La Tribuna de Buenos Aires publicó el relato de aquella aventura, en entregas que simulaban ser cartas y que ese mismo año fueron editadas bajo el título Una excursión a los indios ranqueles. Así surgió una de las obras fundamentales de la literatura argentina del siglo XIX: testimonio de la fascinante experiencia vivida, analizaba la historia reciente y revelaba las difíciles relaciones entre indios y cristianos.

Published: October 2024

This study aimed to address the demand for furniture by developing a user-oriented design pathway for intelligent furniture products, using dining tables as a case study. According to Maslow’s hierarchy, the user needs are classified, and then the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method was used to calculate the causal relationship, as well as the centrality and weight of each demand. The logical relationship between these factors was analyzed with Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to create a hierarchical logic diagram. To ensure the feasibility of the theoretical framework, the System Usability Scale (SUS) was used for evaluation. This study systematically sorted out the logical relationship and hierarchical structure in the table demand system and identified the core elements and factor categories in the table design. The results confirmed that this design pathway effectively met user needs for dining furniture and provided practical guidance for developing the same type of furniture products, offering valuable reference for similar design endeavors.

Aim. This study investigates the demographic distribution, antibiotic resistance profiles, and molecular characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Methods. The study was carried out in 141 patients, 60.4% male, in patients from Chania and Heraklion, Crete.
Results. The highest infection prevalence observed in the older adults (≥65 years) age group. The predominant infection types were skin lesions (39.72) and respiratory tract infection (22.7%). Antibiotic resistance testing revealed that 57.44% of strains were MRSA, with high resistance to Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Kanamycine Erythromycin and Clindamycin. Molecular analysis showed 19.14% of strains were Pvl-positive, highlighting the presence of both MRSA and MSSA strains with Pvl genes.
Conclusions. The study underscores the need for continuous surveillance and targeted infection control strategies to manage the spread of MRSA, particularly in vulnerable populations.
Study of non-silent and deletion mutations of SARS-CoV-2 in relation to viral behavior in the infectious process
Authors: Souza Debora , S Breno , Jr Walter , S Nelson
Published: October 2024

SARS-CoV-2 is a 30,000-nucleotide single-stranded RNA virus encoding structural, non-structural and accessory proteins. Its origin is uncertain, with hypotheses suggesting evolution from bats or pangolins. Genetic recombination events between strains may have resulted in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, making it capable of infecting humans and increasing its transmissibility. Its mutability rate is similar to that of other coronaviruses, however, due to the occurrence of the pandemic and the propagation clusters, there was an intensification in the number of mutations generated, which evolutionarily gave rise to lineages, sublineages, variants and strains, consecutively. Such mutations, especially non-synonymous ones, phenotypically reflect a variation in virulence, associated with factors of transmissibility, pathogenicity, multiplication, immunological evasion that differ from their ancestors, which are accumulating and becoming fixed in the lineages of this sarbecovirus. In this way, this study aims to understand such non-silent mutations by correlating changes to the viral infectious process.

CONTEXT

Tethered cord syndrome is associated with motor and sensory deficits.

OBJECTIVE

Our objective was to summarize evidence regarding the diagnosis, prophylactic surgery, symptomatic treatment, and repeat surgery of tethered spinal cord in a systematic review (CRD42023461296).

DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION

We searched 13 databases, reference-mined reviews, and contacted authors to identify diagnostic accuracy studies and treatment studies published until March 2024.

DATA EXTRACTION

One reviewer abstracted data, and a content expert checked the data for accuracy. We assessed the risk of bias, strength of evidence (SoE), and applicability.

RESULTS

The evidence base includes 103 controlled studies, many with risk of bias and applicability concerns, and 355 case series providing additional clinical information. We found moderate SoE for MRI diagnosing tethered spinal cord, with medium to high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. A small number of prophylactic surgery studies suggested motor function benefits and stability of neurologic status over time, but also complications such as surgical site infection (low SoE). A larger body of evidence documents treatments for symptomatic patients; studies revealed improvement in neurologic status after surgical detethering (low SoE), but also postoperative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage (moderate SoE). A small body of evidence exists for retethering treatment (low or insufficient SoE for all outcomes).

LIMITATIONS

There was insufficient evidence for key outcomes (eg, over- or undertreatment, clinical impact of diagnostic modalities, ambulation, quality of life).

CONCLUSIONS

This comprehensive overview informs difficult clinical decisions that parents and their children with tethered spinal cords, as well as their health care providers, face.
Differentiation of the structure of dentinal tubules and dentinal canaliculi in human teeth of different ages

Published: October 2024

The dentinal tubules are designed to protect the odontoblast processes, which leave behind a cytoplasmic process during tooth development. Around the cytoplasmic process, a dentin matrix is deposited, which eventually mineralizes. However, the question of the role and structure of the cytoplasmic process of the odontoblast in each dentinal tubule after dentin has completely finished the formation process remains an unresolved issue. We investigated the dentinal tubules of 20 permanent teeth (premolars and molars) of people of different ages using a scanning electron microscope. The occlusal surfaces and longitudinal fracture planes of both decalcified and non-decalcified native tooth preparations were examined. In longitudinally split teeth at the periphery of the pulp chamber of a young human premolar, odontoblasts can be seen forming a continuous layer adjacent to the parapulpal dentin. Each of the odontoblasts has a separate process that penetrates into the dentinal tubule. More peripheral parts of the dentinal tubules were either empty or contained cylindrical structures that were better visualized after acid etching on longitudinally split samples. Etched split dentinal tubules in the outer dentin more often contained cylindroid tubular structures. In each individual dentinal tubule, the odontoblast processes are arranged in the form of thin-walled tubules, which, with the help of a supporting fibrillar framework, occupy a central position. On the occlusal surface of a mature human molar, the intertubular dentin has the appearance of a smooth-surfaced structure. Practically all dentinal tubules contain more or less preserved dentinal canaliculi, indicating their fairly pronounced resistance to adverse factors. Inside the lumen of the dentinal tubules, three different types of structures are observed: odontoblast processes, cylindrical structures, and collagen fibers. Odontoblast processes are visualized both along the entire length of the dentinal tubules and only in the parapulpal parts of the dentinal tubules. Their peripheral parts were either empty or contained cylindrical structures that likely correspond to the laminae limitantes. Collagen fibers often form a fibrillar network that on one side intertwines into the dentinal canaliculus, and on the other side is connected to the walls of the dentinal tubules due to perpendicular microtubules for anchoring fibrils. Collagen fibers are most numerous in the parapulpal parts of the dentinal tubules. This study only partially explained certain aspects of the dentin microstructure, but further in-depth studies of dentin ultrastructure are necessary to more fully understand the pathology of hard tooth tissues in people of different ages and the possibilities for its treatment and prevention.
Toxicological properties of mixtures of binary silver-copper, silver-zinc, and copper nanoparticles on cell culture model and laboratory animals

The development, testing, and implementation of antimicrobial agents necessitates the determination of their toxicological characteristics. The objective of our research was to ascertain the direction and magnitude of the impact of experimental samples of disinfectants based on binary silver-copper, silver-zinc, and copper nanoparticles on biological entities of disparate levels of organization (cell culture, laboratory animals). The culture of calf coronary vessel cells (CVCs), 220 mature white laboratory rats, and 45 Chinchilla rabbits were used for the study. Mixtures of binary nanoparticles D1: MeNPs content – 5.4 mmol/L; D2: MeNPs content – 4.9 mmol/L were used as antimicrobial compounds. Toxic effects on cell culture were determined by the percentage of monolayer integrity, and biological effects in animals were determined by determining acute and subacute toxicity by clinical and biochemical parameters. The results of the culture studies demonstrated that the CC50 value of D2 was 6.2 times lower than that of D1, indicating a higher degree of cytotoxicity. No animal deaths were observed in the acute toxicity test (single intragastric administration to white rats at a dose of 30000 mg/kg body weight), which permitted the classification of the test samples as Class VI toxicity (relatively harmless) and Class IV hazardous (low-hazardous). When applied topically to rabbits' skin and mucous membranes, the experimental samples did not exhibit a pronounced irritant effect. A 30-day dermal application of the drugs to rats at doses of 0.5 and 5.0 mL/kg was conducted to determine the impact on hematological and biochemical parameters of a tenfold dose. Following the cessation of the administration of the aforementioned experimental disinfectant samples, the levels of all indicators were observed to return to the control levels within 14 days. The higher toxicity of the D2 drug for biological systems of different levels of organization, compared to the D1 drug, may be attributed to two factors: the higher concentration of AgNPs (2.4 times) and the potentiation of the toxic effect of two binary compounds (Ag-Zn and Ag-Cu) in its composition. Further research is needed to determine the biological impact of experimental samples of disinfectants based on silver, copper, and zinc metal nanoparticles on other functional systems of laboratory animals and the clinical and biochemical status of productive agricultural animals in production conditions.

Drugs based on plants of the Asteraceae family are broadly used against microorganisms that are pathogenic to people and animals. However, their potentials in this aspect have not been fully researched. In our in vitro experiment, we tested alcohol tinctures of 12 species of plants of the Asteraceae family against 10 species of bacteria, one species of fungi, and the larval stages of three species of nematodes – parasites of ruminants (L1 Muellerius capillaris, L1–3 Strongyloides papillosus, L3 Haemonchus contortus). The growth inhibition zone larger than 8 mm was observed after using ethanol extracts of the aboveground parts of several plants against the colonies of various microorganisms: Solidago canadensis showed activity against five species – Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Shigella flexneri, Clostridium perfringens, and Candida albicans; Cyclachaena xanthiifolia was effective against five species – Escherichia coli, P. mirabilis, Enterococcus faecalis, C. perfringens, and C. albicans); Jurinea arachnoidea inhibited four species – K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, Pseudomonas аeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis); Scorzoneroides autumnalis acted against four species – P. mirabilis, Sh. flexneri, C. perfringens, and C. albicans; Helichrysum arenarium demonstrated activity against four species – P. mirabilis, Sh. flexneri, E. faecalis, and Listeria monocytogenes; and extracts from the fruits of Echinops ritro were active against four species – K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and B. subtilis, while extracts from the flowers of Echinops ritro were effective against four microorganisms – K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, Sh. flexneri, and Р. аeruginosa. However, we observed no expressed nematocidal action of ethanol extracts of the studied species of plants. After 24 h exposures to 0.1% solutions of those extracts, over 95% of the nematode larvae of ruminants were found to be vital. Nonetheless, as a result of the study, those plants were recognized the most promising for further in vivo research of antibacterial activity. During the search for antibacterial and antifungal activities, the following plants were found to be the less promising: the aboveground parts of Artemisia austriaca, Lactuca serriola, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Solidago virgaurea, roots of Artemisia vulgaris, Echinops ritro, Lactuca serriola, Solidago canadensis, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Scorzoneroides autumnalis, and leaves of Echinops ritro.
Detection of IMP and VIM genes and antibacterial activity of some plant extracts in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from burn infections
Authors: Al-Jammas A. M. , Essa M. A.
Published: October 2024

Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa has emerged as a deadly pathogenic agent globally, responsible for the majority of morbidity and fatalities in burn patients. Genes of carbapenemase are considered to be among the most prevalent means of resistance in P. aeruginosa to carbapenem. In the present study, the existence of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) genes of the VIM and IMP in carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolated from burn patients were determined and also the antibacterial effects of five ethanolic plant extracts were investigated. Twenty carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates were isolated from burn infections. The disc diffusion test was used for examination of antibacterial susceptibility. Subsequently, MBL were identified by the imipenem-EDTA combined disc test and PCR. This was followed by evaluation of the plant extract and MIC determination by the well-diffusion method. The results revealed that among 20 P. aeruginosa isolates, 17 (85%) were imipenem-resistant. Among them, 11 (64.7%) isolates appeared positive for the IMP-EDTA combined disc test. The VIM gene was detected positively in seven (41.2%) isolates. Not a single isolate had the IMP gene. None of the imipenem-sensitive isolates harbored the IMP or VIM genes. Evaluation of ethanolic extract of Rhus coriaria, Punica granatum, Thymus vulgaris, Syzygium aromaticum and Curcuma longa revealed possibly effective though variable efficacy against the tested P. aeruginosa isolates. Rhus coriaria extract was the most efficient and exhibited bactericidal and bacteriostatic activities with MIC's of 3.6 mg/mL while Punica granatum and Syzygium aromaticum showed MIC which reached 4.5 mg/mL. These plant extracts which were demonstrated to be potentially efficient could be utilized as natural alternative treatment to eradicate carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa.

Published: October 2024

In the modern scientific community, considerable attention is given to studying the pharmacological activity of catechin and anthocyanin derivatives. However, a comparative analysis of the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of extracts rich in anthocyanins and catechins has not been previously conducted. So, the purpose of this work was to study and compare phytochemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of Vaccinium macrocarpon L., Ericaceae fruit thick and Camellia sinensis L., Theaceae leaf liquid extracts. The quantification of biologically active substances (BAS) was accomplished with spectrophotometric, titrimetric and HPLC methods of analysis; antioxidant activity was determined by the potentiometric method; antimicrobial and anti-fungi effects was evaluated by the well method and minimum inhibition concentration. The total content of phenolic compounds was 0.47% and 10.10%, organic acids – 4.27% and 1.60% for V. macrocarpon fruit thick and C. sinensis leaf extract. The total content of catechins in the C. sinensis leaf extract was 105,000 mg/kg, where epicatechin-3-O-gallate dominated (37300 mg/kg). The total content of anthocyanins in the V. macrocarpon fruit thick extract was 1280 mg/kg, where peonidin-3-O-galactoside dominated (408 mg/kg). Both extracts possessed a high antioxidant potential, and effective antimicrobial and anti-fungi effects. The antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-fungi activity of V. macrocarpon fruit extract was higher than C. sinensis leaf extract. In addition, we assumed that anthocyanins had higher antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-fungi properties than catechins. These findings would promote application of V. macrocarpon fruits extract as pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.

Authors: Hoang Phu D. , Lord Stephen , Gandevia Simon , Menant Jasmine
Published: October 2024

Objetivos. La esclerosis múltiple (EM), la condición neurológica crónica y progresiva del sistema nervioso central más común, afecta a 26 000 adultos australianos. El entrenamiento en ejercicio físico tiene efectos beneficiosos sobre los impedimentos relacionados con la EM, entre ellos la reducción de fuerza muscular, la baja capacidad aeróbica y la movilidad reducida y, por consiguiente, puede mejorar la calidad de vida. La presente ponencia ofrece recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia para la prescripción de ejercicio y la administración de entrenamiento físico para personas con EM con discapacidad leve a moderada. Diseño y métodos. Síntesis de obras publicadas dentro del campo del entrenamiento físico en EM. Resultados. El ejercicio ofrece muchos beneficios para las personas con EM. Hay fuertes evidencias de que el entrenamiento de resistencia y aeróbico, efectuado de 2 a 3 veces por semana a una intensidad moderada, es seguro y puede mejorar la fuerza muscular, la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria, el equilibrio, la fatiga, la capacidad funcional, la movilidad y la calidad de vida en las personas con EM con discapacidad leve a moderada (Escala Expandida de Estatus de Discapacidad, EDSS por sus siglas en inglés, ≤ 6.5). Sin embargo, la evidencia para aquellas personas que tienen incapacidad severa (EDSS > 6.5) es menos clara. Los efectos del ejercicio sobre la patogénesis de EM, las estructuras nerviosas centrales y otros resultados, tales como la depresión y el impedimento cognitivo no han sido investigados adecuadamente. También, se necesitan urgentemente intervenciones de ejercicio eficaces para mejorar el equilibrio y las contracturas de articulaciones y reducir las caídas en personas con EM, así como investigaciones sobre los efectos a largo plazo (≥ 1 año) del entrenamiento en ejercicio. Conclusiones. Los ejercicios de resistencia y de entrenamiento aeróbico son eficaces para aliviar algunos signos característicos y síntomas en EM, y deben ir suplementados por ejercicios de equilibrio para prevenir caídas. Los programas de entrenamiento en ejercicio deben ser prescritos y administrados por profesionales calificados en el ejercicio. Es importante reconocer y dar cabida a complicaciones asociadas con el ejercicio, tales como fatiga y sensibilidad cardíaca.
Minority identity and place-name use in a Slovak–Hungarian bilingual settlement
Authors: Csobády Csilla
Published: October 2024

This paper discusses the relationship between minority identity and place-name use in Hrušov/Körtvélyes. The research location is in the Rožňava/Rozsnyó district of the Košice/Kassa region, near Slovakia's border with Hungary. 79% of the village's population belong to the Hungarian national minority, while 20% of the population identifies as Slovak. The community can be described as bilingual, as they use both Hungarian and Slovak, depending on the situation and context. Most of the settlement's place name stock consists of toponyms in Hungarian, with Slovak toponyms mainly appearing only on maps from the second half of the 20th century. However, even the residents who claim Slovak nationality and/or Slovak mother tongue hardly know and use the Slovak toponyms. This sociological study of place names, including 10% of the population (34 people), proves this. The strong minority identity is reflected in the fact that the community of Hrušov/Körtvélyes uses Hungarian toponyms and has not adopted the artificially created Slovak toponyms. In this context, it is safe to conclude that learning and revisiting the use of toponyms can strengthen identity, as it strengthens the ties to the community.

Published: October 2024

This paper investigates the free vibration characteristics of plate structures supported by a Pasternak elastic foundation, utilizing the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). FSDT simplifies the plate theory by considering only first-order shear deformation, enhancing formulation simplicity. Additionally, employing plate theory reduces computational complexity, as 2D models entail fewer degrees of freedom compared to their 3D counterparts. The finite element method (FEM) with 8-node quadrilateral element is employed for computational analysis, implemented using MATLAB. First, a comparison is made with some existing data to show the accuracy and reliability of the research. Numerical examples are then presented of the influence of the effects of thickness variation, foundation parameters and boundary conditions on frequency are investigated. The results show that the method converges very fast and reliability when compared to other research findings. The results of the research can be applied to many different engineering applications related to plates resting on elastic foundation.

Il formalismo interpretativo nell’impiego dell’argomento “ex auctoritate”
Authors: Michowicz Przemysław
Published: October 2024

Nel processo dell’argomentazione giuridica, che un interprete utilizzi un argomento autoritativo facendo riferimento alla linea giurisprudenziale ormai consolidata, debba essere consapevole del pericolo di poter essere accusato dell’impiego del formalismo giuridico. In questo scritto, detta problematica è stata esaminata in relazione alla giurisprudenza pubblicata dal Supremo Tribunale della Segnatura Apostolica, perché a tale giurisprudenza fanno generalmente riferimento sia i giudici del medesimo Tribunale, quando trattano i casi simili (già risolti), sia i superiori ecclesiastici entro l’ambito della potestà amministrativa di governo da loro esercitata. I primi risultati di quest’indagine autorizzano di affermare che il formalismo giurisprudenziale non è eccessivo nel senso di aver la forza di pregiudicare la controversia e risolverla in termini della correttezza procedimentale, ma dell’ingiustizia di fatto. L’impiego del formalismo rafforza piuttosto l’autorità dello stesso Supremo Tribunale ogniqualvolta un giudice amministrativo faccia riferimento ad una controversia analoga (rispetto a quella attualmente in esame) ed emette una sentenza simile.

Automating the Generation of NVD CVE Fixes using Generative AI and RAG
Authors: Uppala Mahidhar .
Published: October 2024

As modern software applications increase, the challenge of addressing security vulnerabilities [1] will increase. Generating fixes for these vulnerabilities rely on manual intervention—a process that can be both timeconsuming and difficult to scale. In this paper, we propose an automated approach to CVE fix generation, leveraging data from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) [2], a local vector database for efficient storage, and Generative AI to produce relevant fixes based on vulnerability descriptions. Our approach involves first loading all publicly available CVE data into a vector database, indexed by CVE ID and metadata for efficient retrieval. When a query for a CVE fix is made, then using Generative AI using custom prompts to provide fixes based on the vulnerability descriptions stored in the database. The generated solutions are stored back in the database for future use, or for review. In the methodology section, we demonstrate how this system can automate the generation of effective CVE fixes in a matter of seconds, streamlining a traditionally manual and time-consuming process. With the findings suggest that the proposed system can reduce the manual/time consuming effort on the teams while enhancing the speed and accuracy of vulnerability remediation

Published: October 2024

This article presents the outcomes of a comparative analysis of specific open educational resources (OER) in the context of significant developments after the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly within the Anglo-Saxon context. The aftermath of the pandemic witnessed the significant role of universities in managing new open libraries providing free educational materials to students and the public. The evaluation focused on OER for pedagogical disciplines, a key area for students training to be teachers or novice educators. The authors developed assessment criteria based on existing literature, including the year of publication, length, structure, purpose, type of links, supplementary materials, learning activities, and the incorporation of digital elements within the EST&LDE concept proposed by Kolář, Malach, and Vicherková in 2023. Eight e-books were examined, all emphasising connections with other study resources and integrating digital elements in the teaching process.

Objective: to understand the feelings and recognitions of older adults when they experience the use of smartphones in everyday life, as well as the implications for the healthy aging process. Method: qualitative research, using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology; the Senior Technology Acceptance & Adoption Model and the methodological framework of Constructivist Grounded Theory. We intentionally recruited people aged 60+; smartphone users; participants for 6 months or more in an extension project, without cognitive impairment, determined by theoretical sampling. A semi-structured script guided data collection. Constant and concomitant comparative analysis followed the steps of initial and focused coding, supported by memos, until theoretical saturation. The Sankey diagram was used to analyze the data, using Atlas.ti software. Results: 37 participants were allocated to two sample groups. We present the category “Experiencing technological evolution during the aging process” and two subcategories: “Experiencing feelings when aging in the face of technological development”; “Using the smartphone and recognizing new experiences”. Conclusion: when experiencing the use of smartphones, older adult understand and recognize the search for digital skills based on their need for usefulness and applicability of information and communication technology in their daily lives, integrating it into the healthy ageing process.

Published: October 2024

Abstract Climate change and its impact on agriculture are important issues. The study aims to assess the effect of biological fertilizers on enzymatic activity, soil chemistry, and corn growth. Field experiments were conducted in the period from 2021 to 2023 in the Almaty region, Kazakhstan. The authors studied the P1241 corn variety and analyzed the content of chemical elements in the soil and the structural characteristics of plants. Field experiments were conducted in the village of Baltabai in 2021-2023. The P1241 corn variety was studied, and the factors of biological fertilizers, the content of chemical elements in the soil, structural indicators of plant growth and development, as well as yield were analyzed. The statistical analysis was carried out using the nonparametric Kruskall-Wallis criterion in the R Studio software. The results of the study confirm the positive effect of biological fertilizers on metabolic processes, soil chemical composition, and structural indicators of crop growth. The authors also identified the influence of the climate on the yield and structure of corn plants. The obtained data can be useful for the development of agricultural strategies and for practicing agronomists and soil scientists.
Síntese e caracterização do compósito cerâmico poroso funcional de ZrO2-TiO2 com adição de perclorato de lítio para uso como sensor de umidade relativa do ar

Resumo Os autores investigaram as respostas elétricas de três diferentes espessuras de cerâmica de 0,5ZrO2-0,5TiO2 com adição de LiClO4. Os sensores foram obtidos seguindo a rota de processamento tradicional e a escolha por um estudo preliminar na variação na espessura deve-se ao fato de que a distância entre as placas paralelas influi na capacitância que é inversamente proporcional a distância entre as placas, sendo que, para criar o efeito capacitivo, as superfícies planas superior e inferior das pastilhas foram revestidas com fita adesiva de carbono, sendo esta escolha da fita uma forma inédita de montagem. A análise de difração de raios-X mostrou a presença de zircônia monoclínica, titânia rutilo e de uma terceira fase cristalina oriunda de uma reação entre o Li+ do perclorato de lítio e a titânia, formando uma nova fase, o titanato de lítio. O sensor com 2 mm de espessura apresenta potencial para uso como sensor de umidade relativa do ar.

Abstract The objective of this work was to determine the effect of edible coatings made with babassu (Orbignya phalerata) starch and oil, combined with different plasticizers, on the shelf life of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola). The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 5×6 factorial arrangement, with five treatments and six storage periods, with ten replicates per treatment in each storage period. The fruits were stored for 20 days at 10°C and a relative humidity of 65-70%. Five treatments were evaluated: four coated ones (with starch+glycerol, starch+mannitol, starch+oil+glycerol, and starch+oil+mannitol) and one uncoated (control). The studied variables were: mass loss, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, ascorbic acid, and color. Mass loss, pH, soluble solids, redness, and yellowness increased linearly during storage, whereas titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, and luminosity decreased linearly. The starch+mannitol treatment stood out, presenting the highest luminosity and the best interaction with babassu oil, which reduced fruit yellowness. However, this interaction caused a lower adherence of the plasticizer to the peel of the fruit, not slowing its ripening down. The use of the starch+mannitol coating reduced mass loss and polysaccharide conversion into soluble sugars. Therefore, this treatment is a promising eco-friendly technique for an improved postharvest storage of star fruit.

Abstract The objective of this work was to propose the use of traditional models based on distributional regression models to analyze maize productivity. The experiment was carried out in an alpha lattice design, with three replicates and 24 blocks. Data used refer to 102 maize plants from the permanent collection of the Centro de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico para a Agricultura of the Universidade Federal de Lavras. For the maize productivity evaluation, the following explanatory variables were used: weight of 100 seed, plant height, ear height, and days to maturation. The initial analyses involved the fitting of four distributions (gamma, generalized gamma, inverse Gaussian, and generalized inverse Gaussian) to the data, in which the gamma distribution showed the best fit based on the Akaike and Bayesian information criteria (AIC and BIC). Cob height has a considerable influence on the productivity variability because as cob height increases, the productivity variability decreases, whereas the covariates weight of 100 seed and days to maturity explain the increasing average of the productivity. The residual analysis shows that the model based on gamma distribution is suitable for explaining the data and providing useful insights for agricultural research and practice.
