Mecanismos de fragmentação iônica da r-carvona produzidos pelo impacto de elétrons com baixas energias
Authors:   , Amorim Raony Antonio de Almeida
Published: December 2024

Neste trabalho estudamos a fragmentação iônica por impacto de elétrons da Rcarvona (C10H14O), uma molécula presente em grandes quantidades na hortelã pimenta (Menta Spicata) e que possui diversas aplicações na área da saúde, destacando-se no seu potencial no tratamento contra o câncer. Foram realizadas medidas experimentais da formação dos cátions produzidos pelo impacto de elétrons na molécula R-carvona, usando um Espectrômetro de Massa Quadrupolo Hiden (EPIC 300), na região de massas de 1- 151 u.m.a., com resolução em massa de 1 u.m.a.. O espectro de massa da R-carvona, registrado para energia eletrônica incidente de 70 eV, revelou as seções de choque de formação de 103 cátions diferentes, por ionizações direta ou dissociativa. O número de fragmentos registrados neste espectro foi muito maior do que o relatado em estudos anteriores reportados na literatura, usando impacto de elétrons, muito provavelmente devido à maior resolução de massa de nosso espectrômetro. As abundâncias relativas dos cátions formados, comparam-se razoavelmente bem com os valores correspondentes relatados na literatura. Seções de choque de ionização parciais (SCIPs) individuais para 78 dos fragmentos catiônicos registrados com maiores intensidades no espectro de massa, foram medidas pela primeira vez neste trabalho, nas regiões de energias de impacto de elétrons de seus limiares até 100 eV. Também foram obtidas pela primeira vez, ao nosso conhecimento, as Seções de Choque de Ionizações Totais (SCITs) da R-Carvona. Além disso, foram determinadas as energias de aparecimento (appearance energies - AEs) e expoentes de Wannier para 38 dos fragmentos catiônicos observados em nosso Espectro de Massa, 36 delas inéditas na literatura. A partir dos dados gerados neste trabalho, foi possível propor diversos mecanismos de fragmentação iônica e mecanismos estruturais de fragmentações iônicas da R-carvona, correlaciondo-os ineditamente com os valores de AEs e de perfis de SCIPs.

Authors: De Oliveira Trintinalha Mariana , Guerra Erick , Marques Herzog Debora , Fagundes Avila dos Santos Andre Luiz , Filla Luciane , Carpine Anelise Daiane
Published: December 2024

Introdução. A Esclerose Múltipla (EM) é a principal doença desmielinizante e a segunda causa de incapacidade em adultos jovens de países desenvolvidos. É uma doença neurodegenerativa imunomediada, apresenta sintomatologia diversa e o diagnóstico é estabelecido a partir da clínica, exames de imagem, análise de líquor e exclusão de outras causas. A etiologia da doença permanece incerta, mas diversos fatores podem estar envolvidos, sendo um deles a desregulação do microbioma intestinal. Objetivo. Esta revisão visa buscar estudos em plataforma científica para esclarecimento da relação intestino - Esclerose Múltipla. Método. Para esta revisão sistemática, foram utilizados os descritores “Gastrointestinal Microbiome” e “Multiple Sclerosis” na database do MEDLINE/PUBMED, sendo encontrados 13 artigos para então aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, sendo 11 estudos incluídos na revisão. Resultados. Metabólitos microbianos, como ácidos graxos de cadeia curta e metabólitos do triptofano suprimem a autoimunidade, aumentando células T reguladoras e aumentando o metabolismo de células imunes. Ademais, foi evidenciado que a microbiota atua modulando o tecido linfóide associado a mucosa (GALT), de modo que a composição do microbioma afeta esse tecido e influencia em uma resposta autoimune. Conclusão. os estudos sugerem papéis significativos entre o microbioma e imunidade intestinal no desenvolvimento de doenças autoimunes, tais como EM. O conhecimento ainda é limitado a respeito dos efeitos da composição bacteriana intestinal associada à doença.

Les ectoparasites du hérisson (erinaceus europaeus) en France
Authors: Delabarre Christelle , Boussarie Didier , Gharbi Mohamed
Published: December 2024

Le hérisson européen (Erinaceus europaeus) est une espèce synanthrope qui réside dans les zones urbaines et suburbaines où elle a su exploiter l’habitat protecteur vis-à-vis de prédateurs ainsi que l’alimentation que lui offre ce milieu. Les hérissons peuvent être infestés par de nombreux ectoparasites et endoparasites dont certains sont encore mal connus. Les auteurs présentent les principaux arthropodes infestant les hérissons, présentant un risque pour leur santé et celle des humains. Il existe une forte spécificité d’espèces entre le hérisson et certains ectoparasites, notamment Archaeopsylla erinacei (la puce du hérisson) et Phleoixodes hexagonus (la tique du hérisson), qui peuvent avoir une incidence directe sur leur santé mais également en étant des vecteurs d’agents pathogènes. L’acarien psorique Caparinia tripilis, l’agent de la démodécie Demodex erinacei et le dermatophyte Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. erinacei sont inféodés principalement au hérisson. Une association phorétique entre les arthropodes parasites et les acariens du hérisson favoriserait leur propagation. Une meilleure connaissance des risques de transmission vectorielle de maladies zoonotiques inhérents à la promiscuité avec les hérissons permettrait de mieux appréhender le rôle de protection de cette espèce tout en minimisant la circulation d’agents infectieux pouvant être transmis.
HIV e AIDS, passado e presente: os gays como representação social da doença / HIV e AIDS, past and present: gays as a social representation of the disease
Authors: Lopes Pablo de Oliveira
Published: December 2024

Os primeiros casos brasileiros de infecção pelo HIV (da sigla em inglês, Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana) e de AIDS (também da sigla em inglês, Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida) foram relatados em 1983. Os anos 1980 foram marcados pelo surgimento dessa infecção sexualmente transmissível, uma enfermidade que chegou a ser chamada de Doença dos 5H, em razão de casos identificados em homossexuais, hemofílicos, haitianos, heroinômanos (usuários de heroína injetável) e prostitutas (hookers em inglês), e foi responsável pela estigmatização de gays. A própria homossexualidade já foi considerada doença: em 1952, a Associação Americana de Psiquiatria publicou, em seu primeiro Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais, que a homossexualidade era uma desordem, o que levou diversos cientistas a tentar comprovar que havia um distúrbio mental nos gays. Então chamada de homossexualismo, a homossexualidade foi incluída na Classificação Internacional de Doenças (CID) de 1977 pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). Em 1975, a Associação Americana de Psicologia deixou de considerar a orientação sexual como transtorno mental e a OMS seguiu o mesmo caminho em 1990. Apesar de não ser mais considerada uma doença, a homossexualidade ainda é associada a uma enfermidade: a AIDS. Além disso, para algumas pessoas, ser homossexual significa necessitar de cura. A sexualidade é um tema que controverso, um tabu, que desperta sentimentos e percepções distintos e é alvo de discussões em diversos segmentos da sociedade. Partindo de tais premissas, tem-se como problema de pesquisa: AIDS e homossexualidade ainda se confundem? Destarte, o objetivo desta pesquisa é mostrar se esta associação ocorre e de que maneira ela se dá. Para tanto, o presente ensaio, um estudo teórico escrito a partir de uma pesquisa exploratória, de caráter bibliográfico e documental, baseia-se em uma revisão de literatura especializada no domínio estudado, que utiliza o método de revisão narrativa, não sistemático e não exaustivo.

Authors: Bayraktar Nihayet , Badem Kudret , Turan Hamdiye , Bayraktar Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Amaç: Bronşektazi giderek daha fazla tanınan ve bronşların kalıcı ve geri dönüşümsüz genişlemesi olarak tanımlanan bir hastalıktır. Akciğerin hava yollarının aşırı mukus birikmesine yol açtığı, akciğerlerin enfeksiyona karşı daha savunmasız olduğu uzun vadeli bir durumdur. Çalışmamızda N-asetilsistein (NAC) kullanan ve kullanmayan bronşektazi hastalarında 8-hidroksi deoksi guanozin (8-OHdG), C-Reaktif Protein (CRP), immünoglobulinler (IgA, IgG, IgM), prokalsitonin, prolidaz enzimi ve oksidatif stres belirteçlerinin serum düzeylerinin bronşektazi hastalarının tanı ve takibinde yararlı olup olmayacağını incelemeyi amaçladık.
Materyal ve metod: Bronşektazi hastalarından NAC kullanan 30 hasta, NAC kullanmayan 30 hasta ve 30 sağlıklı kontrol grubu olarak seçildi. Analiz sonucunda 8-OHdG, Prolidaz, seviyeleri ELISA yöntemi ile çalışıldı. TAS, TOS, OSİ düzeyleri spektrofotometrik Rel Assay marka ticari kitler kullanılarak ölçüldü. IgA, IgM ve IgG Siemens markalı Adviye center cihazında, prokalsitonin ve CRP Atellica CH ciha-zında çalışıdı. Elde edilen verileri SPSS 22.0 (SPSS® for Windows Chicago, IL, USA) paket programı kullanılarak istatistiksel analizleri yapıldı.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmada N-Asetilsistein tedavisi alan ve almayan bronşektazili hasta gruplarında 8-OHdG, prolidaz, TOS, OSI, IgG ve IgA düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu bulundu. Ayrıca toplam antioksidanın diğer gruplara göre daha yüksek olduğu görüldü. IgG solunum yollarının konak savunma sisteminin önemli bir bileşeni olarak kabul edilirken, yüksek IgA düzeylerinin enfeksiyon riskinin azalmasıyla ilişkili olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Çalışmamızda bu biyobelirteçlerin NAC tedavisi almayan bronşektazili hastalarda diğer gruplara göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu görüldü (p<0,001). TAS düzeylerindeki azalma bronşektazi varlığında antioksidan savunmanın zayıfladığını göstermektedir.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada NAC kullanmayan bronşektazili hastalarda 8-OHdG, prolidaz, TOS, OSİ, IgG ve IgA değerlerinin diğer gruplara göre daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. TAS bronşektazi varlığında toplam antioksidan düzeyinin azaldığını göstermektedir. IgG, solunum yolunun konak savunma sisteminin önemli bir bileşenidir IgA düzeyi enfeksiyon riski daha fazladır. Çalışmamızda NAC kullanmayan bronşektazi hastalarında 8-OHdG, prolidaz, TOS, OSI, IgG ve IgA değerleri diğer gruplara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. TAS bronşektazi varlığında total antioksidan seviyesinin azaldığını göstermektedir.Analiz sonucunda 8-OHdG, TOS, OSİ, Prolidaz, IgA, prokalsitonin ve CRP seviyeleri NAC kullanmayan gruplara göre istatiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek bulundu (p<0.001). IgM seviyesi ise NAC kullanmayan gruplara göre istatiksel olarak anlamlı düşük bulundu (p<0.001). Çalışma, NAC'ın incelenen değişkenleri önemli ölçüde etkilediğini gösterdi. Bu biyobeliteçlerin tanı ve takip parametrelerinin önemli bir bileşeni olabileceği ve tedaviye katkı sağlayacağını ümit ediyoruz

Ayrıca afetle mücadele eğitimlerinin okullarda öğrencilere, bunun yanında yaşanılan her ortamda halka verilmesi sağlanmalı, afetle mücadele konusu temel eğitim müfredatına yerleştirilmelidir.
Oportunidades y retos del Interregionalismo MERCOSUR-ASEAN
Authors:   , Fernández-Guillén Oscar Eduardo
Published: December 2024

Aunque con distancias geográficas considerables, que derivan en diferencias histórico-culturales, la ASEAN y el MERCOSUR son procesos de integración con ciertas proximidades y rasgos comunes. Incluso con orígenes, funcionamiento y resultados distintos, el siglo XXI da cuenta del incremento de su interdependencia económica en el plano comercial. Mediante una investigación de enfoque empírico, apoyada en técnicas de relevamiento documental y de datos estadísticos, la investigación describe y analiza la lógica institucional de las dos subregiones, el proceso de acercamiento diplomático entre ambas, el estado de formalización de las relaciones interregionales MERCOSUR-ASEAN y, mediante indicadores de posición y dinámica comercial, cuantifica los flujos de sus intercambios y determina hechos de dinámica relativa interregional (ventajas comparativas, grado de similitud o disparidad de sus ofertas exportadoras, magnitud de su complementariedad o rivalidad, naturaleza del comercio y potencialidades intraindustriales), así como la intensidad de las relaciones comerciales durante el período 2001-2022. Lo anterior se acompaña del análisis comparativo de la lógica institucional y el funcionamiento de ambos acuerdos en las negociaciones externas, para concluir que existen razones para relanzar y profundizar el interregionalismo; pero el MERCOSUR necesita realizar ajustes institucionales a fin de aprovechar las oportunidades que éste presenta.
Tax evasion (The Behavioral Background)
Authors: Darák Péter , Gyekiczky Tamás , Lovas Dóra , Somogyi Róbert
Published: December 2024

Our research aimed to explore the “black box” of taxpayers’ decision-making in an attempt to identify generalizable patterns of behaviour. The analysis was based on the published decisions of the Curia from 2018 to 2023. The information from the judgments was transferred into the statistical data processing system, creating 39 variables. The variables and their correlations were analyzed using the statistical program SPSS. The statistical sample included 120 review judgments, which were representative of the review cases of the period. In addition to the statistical empirical evidence, our study processed models from the literature on tax avoidance and reconstructed individual tax rate positions.
IFRS 9 Classification Aspects – Measurement of Sustainability-Linked Loans at Amortised Cost or Fair Value
Authors: Veit Adrienn , Böcskei Elvira
Published: December 2024

Lending agreements may contain certain sustainability-linked features that can modify the contractual cash flows via the interest - shall the borrowers meet or fail to meet the objectives set by the loan agreement. IFRS 9 provides that in order to measure the financial assets at amortised cost, the primary objective of the business model in which the asset is held shall focus on the collection of the cash flows over the life of the asset and the contractual terms of the financial asset shall give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In other words, the contract is a basic lending agreement. At the time of the IFRS 9 implementation, commercial banks sought to measure financial assets, when possible, at amortised cost as it is more predictable and stable compared to fair value measurement. The International Accounting Standards Board is willing to amend IFRS 9 in order to ensure the true and fair view of the financial statements in respect of lending agreements with sustainability-linked features since it appears that the current regulation of IFRS 9 would result in fair value measurement rather than measurement at amortised cost. The objective of this paper is to summarise the implications of sustainability-linked features from accounting point of view by presenting the requirements of IFRS 9 with regard to classification, the application of them and the current dilemmas.
Pondering the Impact of Generative AI on Copyright Validity
Authors: Silva Díaz Juan Sebastián
Published: December 2024

As artificial intelligence (ai) continues to evolve as a creative agent, it becomes imperative to reassess the foundational principles of copyright law. The ability of generative ai to produce works indistinguishable from human creations challenges the very core of creativity and copyright law. Historically, legislation has evolved in tandem with technological advances, from the printing press to the digital age. But, as ai emerges as an autonomous creative agent, questions arise about the fair allocation of rights and the preservation of economic incentives for human creativity. While ai can serve as a powerful tool to enhance human ingenuity, the potential for legal loopholes and economic inequities requires prudent and adaptable regulations that reflect the complexities of our ever-changing world.

Objectif : Cette étude vise à identifier des familles d’hybrides de cacaoyers présentant un bon
remplissage de cabosses et un bon grainage dans différentes zones agro écologiques de la Côte
d’Ivoire.
Méthodologie et Résultats : Quatre familles d’hybrides de cacaoyers ont été évaluées au champ à
Soubré, Divo et Bouaflé pour le nombre de fèves fraiches par cabosse, le poids de fèves fraîches
par cabosse et le poids d’une fève de cacao marchand par famille. Les résultats indiquent que la
famille F41 (GU 139 A x (E4/3-2 X C2/1-1)) a présenté le meilleur remplissage de cabosse avec
respectivement 47,46 et 45,47 fèves par cabosse dans les localités de Soubré et Bouaflé. La famille
F26 (UPA 409 x POR) a présenté les fèves sèches les plus lourdes à la fois dans les trois localités
(Soubré, Divo et Bouaflé) avec respectivement 1,71 g, 1,69 g et 1,40 g par fève sèche.
Conclusion et application des résultats : Il ressort de cette étude que les familles F41 et F26 ont
été remarquables pour leur bon remplissage des cabosses et grainage. Ces résultats prometteurs
constituent un indicateur pour le sélectionneur d’une part, dans la recherche à l’intérieur des
familles, de génotypes présentant un bon niveau de remplissage et un excellent grainage et d’autre
part, pour la diffusion de familles d’hybrides présentant ces caractères.

ABSTRACT
Objective. The aim of this study is to identify families of cocoa hybrids with good pod filling and
seed set in different agro-ecological zones of Côte d'Ivoire.
Methodology and Results. Four families of cocoa hybrids were evaluated in the field at Soubré,
Divo and Bouaflé for the number of fresh beans per pod, the weight of fresh beans per pod and the
weight of a merchantable cocoa bean per family. The results show that family F41 (GU 139 A x
(E4/3-2 X C2/1-1)) had the best pod filling, with 47.46 and 45.47 beans per pod respectively in
Soubré and Bouaflé. Family F26 (UPA 409 x POR) had the heaviest dry beans in all three localities
(Soubré, Divo and Bouaflé), with 1.71 g, 1.69 g and 1.40 g per dry bean respectively.
Conclusion and application of the results. The study showed that the F41 and F26 families stood
out for their good pod filling and graining. These promising results are an indicator for the breeder,
on the one hand, in the search within families for genotypes with good filling and excellent
graining, and on the other, in the distribution of hybrid families with these traits.

Note on a crux in Claud. Don. Aen. 6,360 P. 555,6 (ed. Georgii 1905)
Authors:   Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Corsini Elia Angelo
Published: December 2024

The inconsistency between T. Claudius Donatus’ commentary on Aen. 6,360 and the corresponding vergilian text is pointed out by Heinrich Georgii (Lipsiae 1905) with a crux, in the belief that Donatus, given the obvious divergence from the hypotext, could not read the eneadic lemma as it has been transmitted. This paper suggests a correction to Georgii’s editorial choice on the basis of some philological, linguistic and intertextual considerations.
Literary Soteriology with Damian Stănoiu
Authors:   Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara, Ceia Valy
Published: December 2024

A chronicler of monastic life, reading Damian Stănoiu’s
work highlights a writer who understood his mission to the end. His heroes – when naive, serene, angelic, when vitriolic, radical, diabolical – are monastic faces, but no inhibitions are placed in the way of a narrative that does not mince its words. The realism of the text is counterbalanced by the consubstantial humour, which increases its intensity in relation to the norms, the precepts of the universe described. My work seeks to discreetly indicate how these are metamorphosed, what their imprints are in this game of literature, noting that, in fact, we are dealing with an open, „edifying” irony (Jankélévich).
Appendix Vergiliana. On Budding Roses: A Famous Ancient Carpe Diem
Authors:   Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara, Subi Maria
Published: December 2024

A famous poem, included in the Appendix Vergiliana,
although subsequently attributed to Ausonius, as well, De rosis
nascentibus is written in elegiac couplets and centres on the theme of the rose – a deeply fascinating theme, approached, throughout time, in various writings in the western and eastern spaces. The admiration for roses, intensely coloured and fragrant, and for their beauty in spring, is, however, contextually intertwined with melancholic reflections on the fragility of this flower, which becomes a symbol of transience, of universal temporality: fugit inreparabile tempus (Vergil, Georgica, III, 284). The notion of the passage of time – illustrated by the short life of roses – ties in naturally, in the final couplet, with the motif of fully living the present moment. The latter is seen as the only solution in the face of the inescapable end, the famous Horatian carpe diem being a widely circulated motif in Latin literature.
Preliminary results of construction and demolition waste (CDW) and fly ash (FA) based geopolymer composite materials
Authors: Ngandu Cornelius Ngunjiri , Debreczeni Ákos , Mucsi Gábor
Published: December 2024

There is need to research and develop green construction materials, to address increasing infrastructural demand and environmental challenges. Preliminary investigation of construction and demolition waste (CDW) and fly ash (FA) based geopolymer composite materials is presented in this paper. The average compressive strength of mechanically activated materials based FA geopolymer composite specimen was 53.8% higher compared to the unground specimen. Investigation on CDW and ground FA based geopolymer composite materials, show that 50% CDW precursor content had the highest strength. Cracks were observed on the ground fly ash composite specimen surface, attributed to surface moisture loss. The optimum compressive strength, 47 ± 9.13 MPa can be considered for structural application. Mitigation measures for adverse cracks should be applied.
Wind turbine blades vibration: review
Authors: Al-Najjar Iyad F. , Jálics Károly
Published: December 2024

The rapid development of wind turbines and the elongation of their blades necessitate extensive studies to address higher loads, displacement and vibrational amplitude, nonlinearity in the geometry, nonlinear stiffness, and many other challenges. Moreover, as many countries are shifting towards wind energy due to its effectiveness and low environmental impact, there is a pressing need for comprehensive investigation. This review aims to explore diverse numerical and experimental methodologies used in analysing wind turbine blade models across various operating conditions, including turbulent flow or cold environments, as well as different geometries and sizes. Numerous proposed numerical methods demonstrate strong correlation with experimental results or similar results to alternative numerical techniques such as Finite Element Method (FEM), time or frequency domain methods, and direct simulation. Additionally, this paper encompasses various experimental findings, including modal model analysis, operational modal analysis, and structural health monitoring.

Furthermore, the study investigates the presence of resilience or lack of it within Romanian Law No. 241/2006, discerning glimpses of resilience through an assessment of the legal framework's responsiveness to unforeseen challenges and its evolution over time. By highlighting the role of resilience within legal frameworks, this research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how legal mechanisms can effectively prepare for and mitigate future adversities.
Camus’s stage adaptation of Dostoevsky’s demons
Authors: Lévai Ruth Karin
Published: December 2024

This article aims to explore Albert Camus’s concept of „revolt” and how it was distinct from „nihilism”. Additionally, it will examine the ways in which it came to expression on the stage, specifically in his 1959 adaptation of Dostoevsky’s Demons. The structure of the article will be as follows: 1) Introduction, 2) the connection between Camus’s concept of revolt on the one hand and his distaste for surrealism and the theatre of the absurd on the other hand, 3) Dostoevsky’s and Camus’s ideas of nihilism will be compared, its nature, root causes and antidote, as well as 4) ) why Camus thought Dostoevsky’s vision of nihilism was still relevant nearly a century later.
Remarks on access to justice and the digital divide from the aspect of procedural law
Authors: Váradi Ágnes
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has proved that the use of electronic means can significantly facilitate effective, physical access to justice and simplify the initiation and conduct of court proceedings; however, the phenomenon of digital divide has entered into centre of attention as well. The current paper aims to give a summary on the concept of digital divide in the context of procedural rights, primarily the right to an efficient access to justice. It will be examined, how digital solutions can be integrated into the conceptual and legislative framework of access to justice so that they can contribute to the enhancement of efficiency, while preventing the marginalization of the most disadvantaged social groups and the “elitization” of justice systems. The analysis is based on synthesis of international standards, jurisprudence, recommendations, and secondary literature. This way the results can provide an impetus for developing new solutions in this area to ensure the efficient access to justice for all even in the context of unprecedented technological, social and economic challenges.

Foram utilizados estudos de casos de Mendoza, Argentina, e Nova Friburgo, Brasil, e metodologia qualitativa para definir amostragem para entrevistas e organizar as informações coletadas. As características de ocupação dos dois territórios analisados forjaram os sistemas de produção locais e, no processo de investigação realizado foi fundamental apreendê-las de forma clara, para o entendimento de como foram estabelecidas as estratégias agrícolas desenvolvidas pelas famílias em seus sistemas de produção. A agroecologia aparece como alternativa não apenas aos meios de desenvolvimento de técnicas produtivas, mas como opção para um processo de desenvolvimento territorial sustentável.

Ukrainian family in the conditions of war and forced migration
Authors: Slyusar Ludmila
Published: December 2024

In recent decades, the form and structure of family associations have been transformed in Ukraine. The war of Russia against Ukraine interrupted the natural process of development of the Ukrainian family. However, family practices in this difficult period testify to powerful family ties and their particular importance in times of war danger. In conditions of war and economic problems, the family becomes a support: family solidarity, mutual assistance, care, the exchange of activities and material resources between family members allows establish life, and sometimes survive. At the same time, the war exacerbated the problems of the Ukrainian family and provoked new risks due to the deformation of the living conditions of the population and negative changes in the marriage and family structure of the population. The result of a fullscale war was: an increase in the number of widows; an increase in the number of single-parent families and families where children live without parents with relatives; weakening of marital ties and in the future there may be an increase in the number of divorces; an increase in the number of lonely older people who do not receive the necessary instrumental support from children and relatives; aggravation of gender problems. The study is based on materials from a sample survey of forced migrants in the city of Ternopil, information from open sources, expert assessments, and data from the State Statistics Service.

Authors: Migliaccio Guido , Orsillo Giuseppe
Published: December 2024

Topicality - The pandemic has greatly affected the economies of all nations. Sport, too, has suffered the consequences of the measures necessary to contain the infection, with obvious consequences on clubs' budgets. Proposal - The study analyses the financial performance of a sample of soccer teams in the leagues of three European nations: Italy Spain and Germany. It highlights the ten-year trend of profitability and financial structure. This is also to verify the impact of the pandemic on the balance sheets of the major soccer clubs. Methodology - From the Orbis Europe full database of the Bureau van Dick database, the balance sheet data for 10 consecutive years of the decade 2012-2021 of the 10 most representative teams of the Italian, Spanish and German leagues were taken. Subsequently, the development of Roe and Leverage was analysed. The data were also subjected to various statistical elaborations mainly to verify whether the differences between the three nations are significant. Results - In recent years, there has been a much smaller decline in profitability in Spain and Germany, rather than in Italy, where the results have been truly disastrous. On the contrary, a progressive improvement in the financial structure can be noted, especially in the Italian clubs, which have recorded worrying values over time. The Italian clubs, however, although very renowned, have too often had worse outcomes over the decade than the teams of the other two nations. Implications - This study implements the literature on the effects of the pandemic on the economy, especially in sports. It encourages comparisons in time and space of budgets. It will be necessary to implement the research by analysing the trend of other indices as well to have more detailed information. However, the results are useful for the governance of European soccer clubs and also for public authorities that often support sports activities that are considered socially relevant.This is also at a time when refreshments were needed to cope with the damage resulting from the pandemic.

Introduction: Watermelon and pumpkin are traditional melon crops cultivated in Kazakhstan and many countries worldwide. The recent decade has seen an increase in the production and consumption of melon crops due to growing consumer interest in healthy eating. There is a significant demand for watermelon juice production, not only because of its organoleptic properties like color, taste, and aroma, but also due to significant bioactive compounds such as carotenoids (lycopene), flavonoids, phenolic compounds, amino acids, and vitamins. Utilizing local melon crops to develop new types of mixed juices is a relevant and promising direction.

Purpose: To develop a recipe for the production of mixed juice based on melon crops (watermelon).

Materials and Methods: The objects of study were mixed juices based on watermelon juice. The obtained watermelon juice samples were characterized by nutritional value, determined amino acid composition, and vitamin and mineral content. Organoleptic, physicochemical, and microbiological indicators of the juices were studied.

Results: A recipe for mixed juice based on watermelon was developed using apple, pumpkin juices, and diffusion juice of rose hips. Organoleptic, physicochemical, and microbiological indicators of the juices were studied. The juice samples have original organoleptic indicators, a uniform consistency, a harmonious, well-balanced taste, and a bright color. Physicochemical research showed that the titratable acidity of the analyzed juices is within 0.9-1.9 mmol H+/100 g, active acidity - 3.9-4.3 pH units. Yeast and total microbial counts are within sanitary standards and regulations, molds and coliforms not detected. Adding rosehip juice positively affects the content of vitamins C, B1, and B3, increasing by 47%, 14%, 23% respectively. Besides vitamins, mixing juices also significantly increases the content of arginine, methionine, proline, and magnesium.

Conclusions: As a result of the conducted research, a recipe for mixed juice based on watermelon with the addition of pumpkin juice and diffusion rosehip juice was developed. The mixed juice is a valuable source of bioactive compounds, providing a refreshing and strengthening effect on the body. Watermelon processing will solve the problem of processing melon raw materials and expand the range of domestic beverages with high nutritional and biological value.
Influence of the Recipe Components on the Technical Characteristics of the Pine Nuts and Oil Cake Beverages
Authors: Mazalevskiy Viktor B.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. People with lactose intolerance, high cholesterol, allergies or vegan lifestyle are limited in their consumption of milk. For such cases, a number of so-called milk analogues have been developed. These are soy, bean, peanut, almond, rice, coconut, oat, hemp, etc. One of the promising types of plant raw materials for obtaining milk replacers is pine nuts. Existing pine kinds of milk replacers are not balanced in composition of the main components and have organoleptic drawbacks.

Objective. Study of the effect of hydromodule and the ratio of the components of the formulation on the technical characteristics of pine nuts beverage.

Methods. To determine the physico-chemical and organoleptic characteristics were used standard methods according to the methods and regulations.  Microstructure was studied using a Carl Zeiss Stereo Discovery V8 microscope (Germany) with an Axio Cam ICc 5 camera (Germany) and ZEN2 software. Viscosity studies were carried out using an AND SV-1A vibro-viscosimeter. Test results were statistically processed using MS Excel.

Results. In the pine nut kernel drink the water content increased from 80,6 % to 87,9 %, in the pine nut cake drink it increased from 81,0 % to 88,1 % by increasing the hydromodule from 4 to 7 units. The analysis of the received data testifies that the optimum value of hydromodule is 7 units. It was shown that in order to obtain a pine beverage with good organoleptic characteristics it is necessary to use a mixture of pine nut kernel and pine nut cake as raw material. Beverages from mixtures of kernel and cake with a mass fraction of cake of 0.2-0.8 units and a hydromodule of 7 units were studied. Viscosity of the drinks from kernel and oilcake mixtures increased from 2,18 to 3,96 mPa∙s, protein content increased from 2,7 to 3,7%, carbohydrate content from 2,8 to 3,8%, fat content decreased from 6,3 to 3,9%, fat/protein ratio from 1,83 to 1,06.

Conclusion. Preparation of a pine beverage from a mixture of pine nut kernels and pine nut cakes at a mass fraction of cakes of 0.8 units leads to formation of a beverage with a pronounced taste and smell and a moderately viscous consistency.

Background. One of the ways of grain processing is the use of germination technology, which makes it possible to increase the nutritional value and use the resulting raw materials in the technology of creating food products. Among the new approaches, we can consider the use of solutions of exogenous gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in combination with ultrasound exposure as an effective method of increasing antioxidant properties in germination technology.Purpose. The aim of this study is to identify the effective concentration of exogenous GABA, which increases the antioxidant properties of sprouted grain to the greatest extent.Materials and methods. The following samples were selected as objects of research: wheat, barley and oats. Before the germination process, the grain was treated with ultrasonic exposure in distilled water (control) and solutions of exogenous GABA (experiment). Two-factor planning was used, variable factors were: GABA concentration (1, 3, 5%) and germination duration (12, 24, 36 hours); controlled – total antioxidant activity. For optimized samples of sprouted grain, the following nomenclature of indicators were studied: energy and germination ability, the content of flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds, as well as the total antioxidant activity.Results. Using mathematical modeling, the concentration of exogenous GABA solutions and the duration of the germination process were optimized, which for wheat grain was 4.1% and 29.3 hours; for barley – 4.2% and 29.5 hours and for oats – 3.1% and 49.6 hours. The increase in the indicator "Germination energy" was 5.0% for wheat grain; barley – 3.1% and oats – 4.2% relative to the control, and for the indicator "Germination ability" – 6.2%; 2.0% and 4.0%, respectively. In the germinated experimental samples, the content of flavonoids increases by an average of 18% (wheat grain); 16% (barley grain) and 64% (oat grain). The increase in polyphenolic compounds was 47%; 50% and 69%, and the total antioxidant activity increased by an average of 20.6%; 18.3% and 16.6% for wheat, barley and oat grain samples, respectively.Conclusions. Our studies have confirmed that the use of exogenous GABA solutions under ultrasound exposure can be used as a promising technology to increase the intensity of germination processes and increase the antioxidant properties of sprouted grain.

Published: December 2024

Background: In the agro-industrial sectors, including fisheries, there is a growing focus on rapidly determining the composition and quality of food products. Traditional chemical methods are too slow for quick quality assessments. Spectral methods have become preferred for rapid analysis, although the spectral range suitable for determining the storage days of fish samples has not been thoroughly explored.

Purpose: To evaluate the shelf-life and freshness of refrigerated rainbow trout using mid-infrared spectroscopy.

Materials and Methods: Refrigerated rainbow trout steaks stored at +4 °C were examined. The fish were raised in an open tank at Lake Motkozero in the Vologda region. A mid-infrared FT-801 FTIR spectrometer with an attenuated total internal reflection (ATR) attachment was employed to determine the fish's shelf-life, freshness, and quality. The spectrum range spanned from 4000 to 700 cm-1 with a resolution of 4 cm-1, conducting 16 scans. Spectral data were analyzed using ZaIR 3.5 software, with measurements taken daily over a 16-day storage period.

Results: Mid-infrared spectroscopy effectively differentiated rainbow trout samples by storage day, with each day displaying a unique spectral signature. The spectral range of 1700–1500 cm-1 clearly distinguished between samples from the first and last days of storage (day 16), showing an increase in absorption intensity at wavelengths corresponding to amides and amino groups, indicative of biochemical changes due to spoilage.

Conclusion: This study's findings contribute to developing a new, rapid, and non-destructive method for assessing fish freshness, which is crucial for food safety control authorities and consumers. The methods developed hold significant potential for optimizing quality control processes in the food industry.
