Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are increasing in magnitude, frequency, and duration globally. Even though a limited number of phytoplankton species can be toxic, they are becoming one of the greatest water quality threats to public health and ecosystems due to their intrinsic toxicity to humans and the numerous interacting factors that undermine HAB forecasting. Here, we show that the carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry of a common toxic phytoplankton species, Microcystis, regulates toxin quotas during blooms through a tradeoff between primary and secondary metabolism. Populations with optimal C:N (< 8) and C:P (< 200) cellular stoichiometry consistently produced more toxins than populations exhibiting stoichiometric plasticity. Phosphorus availability in water exerted a strong control on population biomass and C:P stoichiometry, but N availability exerted a stronger control on toxin quotas by regulating population biomass and C:N:P stoichiometry. Microcystin-LR, like many phytoplankton toxins, is an N-rich secondary metabolite with a C:N stoichiometry that is similar to the optimal growth stoichiometry of Microcystis. Thus, N availability relative to P and light provides a dual regulatory mechanism that controls both biomass production and cellular toxin synthesis. Overall, our results provide a quantitative framework for improving forecasting of toxin production during HABs and compelling support for water quality management that limit both N and P inputs from anthropogenic sources.

Clays are known to have promising adsorbing characteristics, and are used as feed additives to overcome the negative effects of mycotoxicosis in livestock farming. Modification of clay minerals by heat treatment, also called calcination, can alter their adsorption characteristics. Little information, however, is available on the effect of calcination with respect to mycotoxin binding. The purpose of this study was to characterize a Tunisian clay before and after calcination (at 550 °C), and to investigate the effectiveness of the thermal treatment of this clay on its aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), G1 (AFG1), B2 (AFB2), G2 (AFG2), and zearalenone (ZEN) adsorption capacity. Firstly, the purified clay (CP) and calcined clay (CC) were characterized with X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-IR), cation exchange capacity (CEC), specific surface area (SBET), and point of zero charge (pHPZC) measurements. Secondly, an in vitro model that simulated the pH conditions of the monogastric gastrointestinal tract was used to evaluate the binding efficiency of the tested clays when artificially mixed with aflatoxins and zearalenone. The tested clay consisted mainly of smectite and illite. Purified and calcined clay had similar chemical compositions. After heat treatment, however, some changes in the mineralogical and textural properties were observed. The calcination decreased the cation exchange capacity and the specific surface, whereas the pore size was increased. Both purified and calcined clay had a binding efficacy of over 90% for AFB1 under simulated poultry GI tract conditions. Heat treatment of the clay increased the adsorption of AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2 related to the increase in pore size of the clay by the calcination process. ZEN adsorption also increased by calcination, albeit to a more stable level at pH 3 rather than at pH 7. In conclusion, calcination of clay minerals enhanced the adsorption of aflatoxins and mostly of AFG1 and AFG2 at neutral pH of the gastrointestinal tract, and thus are associated with protection against the toxic effects of aflatoxins.
Preliminary Study of a Single Instillation of Low-Concentration High-Volume Silver Nitrate Solution for Chyluria: Is >10 mL Instillation an Absolute Contraindication in the Real World?
Authors: Mitsunari Kensuke , Imasato Yushi , Tsurusaki Toshifumi
Published: October 2019

Silver nitrate instillation (SNI) is one form of treatment for chyluria. However, there is the opinion that a high volume of SNI (>10 mL) should be avoided because life-threatening complications have been reported. However, we have noticed that most severe complications occur in high-concentration treatments (≥1%), even with a small volume. In addition, a small volume (≤10 mL) of low-concentration (<1%) SNI occasionally causes recurrence. Based on these facts, we aimed to evaluate a preliminary study of a novel single-injection regimen of low-concentration high-volume SNI. In this preliminary study, nine patients who underwent SNI were retrospectively examined. Patient characteristics, anesthesia, procedure, efficacy, complications, and duration of hospital stay were investigated. The volume of silver nitrate solution was decided based on symptoms, findings of pyelography, and vital signs, and it was given as a single instillation. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board. The ranges of silver nitrate concentration and volume were 0.1%–0.5% and 15–30 mL, respectively. In all patients, proteinuria and cloudy urine disappeared immediately. However, two patients had recurrence after the initial SNI. These two patients were subsequently treated with increasing concentrations of silver nitrate (0.2% and 0.5%) from 0.1%, and they had complete symptomatic relief without recurrence for more than 6 years. None of the patients experienced severe complications. In conclusion, our preliminary study showed that a single instillation of low-concentration (0.1%–0.5%) and high-volume (15–30 mL) SNI is safe and useful. It is worth considering as a treatment option for chyluria.

The Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is considered to be a major emerging infectious threat, according to the WHO R&D blueprint. A wide range of CCHFV molecular assays have been developed, employing varied primer/probe combinations. The high genetic variability of CCHFV often hampers the efficacy of available molecular tests and can affect their diagnostic potential. Recently, increasing numbers of complete CCHFV genomic sequences have become available, allowing a better appreciation of the genomic evolution of this virus. We summarized the current knowledge on molecular methods and developed a new bioinformatics tool to evaluate the existing assays for CCHFV detection, with a special focus on strains circulating in different geographical areas. Twenty-two molecular methods and 181 sequences of CCHFV were collected, respectively, from PubMed and GenBank databases. Up to 28 mismatches between primers and probes of each assay and CCHFV strains were detected through in-silico PCR analysis. Combinations of up to three molecular methods markedly decreased the number of mismatches within most geographic areas. These results supported the good practice of CCHFV detection of performing more than one assay, aimed for different sequence targets. The choice of the most appropriate tests must take into account patient’s travel history and geographic distribution of the different CCHFV strains.

Authors: Brandão Mariana , Yu Linlong , Garcia Carlos , Achari Gopal
Published: October 2019

This study investigates advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) as post-treatment techniques to degrade sulfolane in soil washing water. Soil washing experiments were conducted with different soil/water ratios, shaking times, and number of extraction cycles. The soil wash water containing sulfolane was treated with four AOPs including H2O2/ultraviolet (UV), O3/UV, alkaline ozonation, and neutral Fenton reagent. Results show that sulfolane can be effectively removed from the soil using water as a washing solvent, where optimum conditions were found with 30 min of vigorous shaking, using 1:2 soil/water mass ratio, and a three-cycle extraction procedure. Moreover, the sulfolane in the soil wash water was also effectively degraded using appropriate AOPs. Among the four AOPs investigated, neutral Fenton was the least effective method to treat sulfolane in the wash water, while H2O2/UV, O3/UV, and alkaline ozonation can achieve more than 99% of sulfolane degradation within 1 h.

Published: October 2019

The vegetation density λ affects turbulent flow type in the submerged vegetated river. This laboratory study investigates different types of vegetated turbulent flow, especially the flow at 0.04 < λ < 0.1 and λ = 1.44 by setting the experimental λ within a large range. Vertical distributions of turbulent statistics (velocity, shear stress and skewness coefficients), turbulence kinetic generation rate and turbulence spectra in different λ conditions have been presented and compared. Results indicate that for flow at 0.04 < λ < 0.1, the profiles of turbulent statistics manifest characteristics that are similar to those of both the bed-shear flow and the free-shear flow, and the turbulence spectral curves are characterized with some slight humps within the low-frequency range. For λ = 1.44, the turbulent statistics above the vegetation top demonstrate the characteristics of boundary-shear flow. The spectral curves fluctuate intensely within the low-frequency range, and the spectra of low-frequency eddies above vegetation top are significantly larger than the values below. The change of turbulent flow type induced by an increase of λ would increase the maximum value of turbulence kinetic generation rate GS and change the point where GS is vertically maximum upwards to the vegetation top.

Published: October 2019

Groundwater and soil pollution caused by (PAHs) spills, mostly from the oil industry and petrol stations in urban areas, represent a major environmental concern worldwide. However, infiltration into groundwater is decreasing due to the natural attenuation processes of PAHs in the vadose zone, which protect invaluable groundwater resources against contamination. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of improper management of the petroleum industry on the groundwater and soil surrounding the petrol station and an oil refinery unit and, furthermore, to prepare the polluted risk intensity (PRI) map. Fifty-one soil samples and twenty-five water samples were analyzed for Light Non-aqueous Phase Liquid (LNAPLs), and one soil sample for Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPLs); furthermore, six soil samples analyzed for Tetraethyl Lead (TEL) analysis. The results showed that seventeen wells were polluted with LNAPLs and the soils were highly contaminated with different DNAPLs components and mainly was in the form of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Seven factors introduced to the GIS platform to produce PRI map, which is the distance to source, depth to water table, slope, lineaments, lithology, soil, and recharge rate. The final map revealed that the eastern and western parts of the study area are at a very high-risk level, whereas the center is at a very low to low-risk level.
Les roches basiques de l'Ayrole (commune de Fraïsse-sur-Agout, Hérault), massif de l'Agout, Montagne Noire. Étude chimique
Authors: Demange Michel , Frignet Bernard
Published: October 2019

Les roches basiques de l'Ayrole (commune de Fraïsse-sur-Agout, Montagne Noire, France) sont des roches plutoniques disposées en sills antétectoniques au contact de la série du Somail (socle) et de la série de la Salvetat (couverture).

Ces roches sont des roches comagmatiques dérivées d'une série calco-alcaline (à faibles affinités tholéitiques) différenciée. L'étude chimique rejoint l'étude microscopique pour distinguer :

— des cumulats ferro-magnésiens précoces, que le métamorphisme a transformés en gabbros à grandes amphiboles pœcilitiques ;

— des cumulats surtout plagioclasiques à texture grenue hypidiomorphe ; certaines de ces roches contiennent du grenat.

Postérieurement à ce stade magmatique, ces roches ont été modifiées (départ de CaO, Na₂O, apport de K₂O, silicification éventuelle) et ont subi un métamorphisme catazonal.

Migración, trabajo y acumulación de capital. Hacia un enfoque comprehensivo de las migraciones en el capitalismo global
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Canales Alejandro I.
Published: October 2019

Las migraciones configuran un doble proceso de transferencias económicas. Por un lado, son una forma de transferencia de fuerza de trabajo desde las comunidades de origen hacia las economías desarrolladas; por otro lado, las remesas y distintos bienes y servicios que envían los migrantes constituyen un flujo en sentido inverso que contribuye a la reproducción social de los inmigrantes, sus familias y comunidades de origen. Este sistema de transferencias económicas vincula la reproducción de la fuerza de trabajo migrante en los lugares de origen, con la reproducción del capital y la economía en las sociedades de destino, de esa manera contribuye así, a la reproducción del capitalismo como sistema económico y productivo global.

Published: October 2019

Agrotourism in Indonesia is one of the interesting destinations to be visited by tourists, which encourages PT Perkebunan Tambi which focuses on tea production to create a business line to increase revenue for the company through the establishment of Agro Tambi Tourism in 2001. Understanding the consumer characteristics of Agro Tourism that are different from consumers of tea products, causes the need for further study. Improving Service Quality is important to increase customer satisfaction. Increasing satisfaction leads to the willingness of the customer to recommend it to others. The purpose of this study is to understand tourist's perception of the decision-making process, knowing the tourist's satisfaction and to examine the effect of the decision-making process toward satisfaction that is the willingness to recommend Agro Tambi Tourism. The basic method in this research was used descriptive analysis method, Customer Satisfaction Index and regression analysis. A survey by non- probabilistic sampling was carried out to collect data, and 100 tourists observed as respondents. SPSS 17 was used to analysis those data. The results of the study showed that tourists' perceptions were based on the benefits of travel. The Customer Satisfaction Index was 82.25 percent, which stated that tourists were very satisfied, and 88 percent of tourists agreed to recommend Agro Tambi Tourism. Source of information, travel expense, and advantage of travel had a significant influence on the willingness of tourists to recommend Agro Tambi Tourism to family and friends. Agro Tambi Tourism must provide activities that can increase the benefits and satisfaction of tourists. Thus, the recommendations to family and friends lead to reduced marketing costs for Agro Tambi Tourism.

Published: October 2019

One of the new forms of ecotourism product is community-based ecotourism (CBE) which is involved and managed locally by the communities in its development and management, and substantial benefits remain within the community. Stakeholder's involvement in CBE development plays an important role in the success and sustainable development in rural Min House Camp, Kubang Kerian Kelantan. Stakeholders such as governments, private enterprises, local communities, institutions, non- governmental organizations and volunteer tourists involved in the planning and decision-making process of the rural ecotourism management and conservation. This study has been conducted in Min House Camp which located at the village of Kampung Pulau that involved different stakeholders using the partial least square structural equation modeling method. The findings show stakeholder's involvement has significantly influenced on perceived benefit and perceived cost. The business operator should understand the importance of perceived benefits and costs of community-based ecotourism as this construct has a strong influence to support community-based ecotourism development in rural MHC. This study provides useful information for the policymaker, government, and tourism operators to enhance greater stakeholder participation in developing and sustaining community-based ecotourism.
Legal Databases and Their Functions in the Process of Interpreting and Applying the Law
Authors: Staśkiewicz Wiesław , Stawecki Tomasz
Published: October 2019

This article deals with the implications of the widespread practice of use of legal databases in Polish judicial practice. Apart from the undeniable positive effects of development of an electronic civilization, the article deals with the negative effects of use of databases. This is because a conflict arises between the possibilities offered by the latest technology in the form of easy access to legal texts, commentaries and thousands of judicial rulings, and the unique historical experience of the judiciary in a former communist country, methods of legal interpretation sustained by legal positivism, and domination by a syllogistic model for application of the law. All results in dysfunction of legal databases. A kind of “hybrid interpretation of law” is formed, which is a combination of a legacy, the effects of transformation of the economy and the system, as well as the new rules of law, on the one hand, and the ideology of bound judicial decision on the other. The nature of the “hybrid interpretation of law” is the infinite scope for citing judicial rulings and commentaries available in the databases without taking a broader theoretical view – without supporting arguments, and so the citing of a ruling has become the basis for adjudication. The question of whether the possibilities that electronic databases offer will cause interpretation of this kind to turn into a new form of legal rhetoric, or whether it will remain merely a means of adaptation of the discretionary power of judges to legal positivism doctrine, and thus the sophism of the period of transformation, remains an open one.
Jangada de pedra contra a maré? A experiência do governo de esquerda em Portugal (2015-2019)
Authors: Galastri Leandro
Published: October 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é traçar um panorama geral da recente história do governo de esquerda português que ficou conhecido pelo nome de “geringonça”, uma definição irônica utilizada pela oposição de direita e que, também de forma irônica, foi assumida pelos próprios integrantes da coalizão parlamentar. Desde 2015, o Primeiro Ministro português Antônio Costa lidera o governo do PS, que é sustentado pela maioria parlamentar conquistada com a união dos votos do Partido Comunista e do Bloco de Esquerda. Nenhum dos dois partidos, entretanto, faz parte do gabinete de Costa, mantendo sua independência crítica e a autonomia da militância. Ao cabo, pretende-se aqui sugerir a reflexão sobre as possibilidades de se reproduzir tal fórmula de coalizão política de esquerda, voltada para políticas de bem-estar social, em outros países pobres como alternativa à cartilha econômica neoliberal de asfixia de economias vulneráveis por meio do saque sistemático de suas riquezas.

Published: October 2019

Este artigo apresenta parte dos resultados das pesquisas desenvolvidas em minha tese de doutoramento, concluída em 2008, no tocante ao projeto de educação do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) brasileiro. Em especial, evidencia as semelhanças e aspectos políticos entre o modelo de educação deste Movimento de trabalhadores rurais e oconceito de “Educação Única” do filósofo italiano Antonio Gramsci, além de tecer importantes considerações acerca das concepções de partido político Educador e intelectual orgânico do filósofo italiano e a correlação destes com as concepções de formação política e quadros multiplicadores do MST. Gestado no início dos anos 1980 e consolidado ao longo de sua trajetóriaem seus acampamentos, assentamentos, e em todos os seus espaços de luta, o MST criou um projeto de educação pelos e para os sem terra, em suas fileiras, com vistas a promover uma formação integral, que contempla simultaneamente, a educação formal, técnica e política. Um projeto que se desenvolveu na luta à medida que o Movimento se deparava com problemas cotidianos e conforme a correlação de forças políticas que teve que estabelecer com os governantes e com as classes dominantes brasileiras, desde a sua gênese. A pesquisa foi orientada pelo método materialista histórico-dialético, pelos ideais marxianos e marxistas, pelo pensamento gramsciano e pelo referencial teórico produzido pelo MST, e contemplou o período que aborda desde a origem do MST até ano de 2007.

Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) seem to be more prone to factors such as overweight and obesity when compared to the general population, because studies have identified higher prevalences in children and adolescents with the diagnosis. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the participation of adolescents with ASD from the city of Uruguaiana / RS in physical activity practices and to describe barriers and facilitators that interfere or contribute to this practice. This descriptive study with a quantitative approach was carried out with 20 responsible for children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder attending public schools and charities in Uruguaiana / RS. For the data collection, a questionnaire was used as an instrument directed to those responsible. It is an adapted questionnaire that allows identifying behavioral characteristics in relation to the practice of physical activities, the adaptation of the instrument focuses on the mixture of the same with a semi-structured interview on barriers and facilitators of physical activities. The results showed that the mean of the participants’ total BMI (24.99) is above the cut-off points of the health risk zone, and 30% of the subjects do not practice any type of physical activity. The main reporting barriers were correlated and expressed more of an idea of ??social need than personal barriers. We emphasize through this study that the present situation of the FA of the children with ASD in the municipality can be improved, taking into account what the responsible ones report and see in the daily life of their children.

Opresente artigo aborda os resultados de esforços de uma pesquisa arespeito da história econômica e do processo de urbanização e das implicaçõesgeográficas a respeito de uma cidade amazônica. A ocupação da região amazônica teve como uma das particularidades em relação a outras porções do território latino-americano o fato de se dar por meio de surtos devassadores ligados à valorização momentânea de produtos no mercado internacional, sempre por iniciativas externas, seguidos de longos períodos de estagnação. Desde os primórdios de sua ocupação, com o povoamento agroextrativo, até alcançar, nos dias atuais, o patamar de cidade de atração de fluxo turístico cultural (sobretudo devido ao seu Festival Folclórico), Parintins (AM) atravessou, em seu processo de formação territorial e organização socioespacial, diferentes momentos de crescimento e declínio demográfico relacionados aos avanços e retrocessos de suas atividades econômicas locais. Constituída como uma ilha, ora com base na várzea, ora em terra firme, diferentes formas de trabalho humano foram empregadas, envolvendo uma mão de obra diversificada, de distintas origens e tendo sua produção proveniente de demandas das mais variadas escalas.

Published: October 2019

Antes, eram donos de toda essa terra; hoje, os povos indígenas precisam lutar para terem suas identidades e direitos reconhecidos; seu território se tornou restrito e imputado pelo Estado, muitas vezes sem levar em consideração a trajetória histórica e cultural e as relações territoriais existentes. O objeto de análise deste trabalho se refere à Região das Missões localizada no Rio Grande do Sul, local onde os missionários espanhóis fundaram seus povoados. A proposta é introduzir o debate acerca da relação dos Mbyá Guarani com o território, apresentando suas características e deslocamentos, o território político e cultural, além de problematizar a participação indígena nos processos de reconhecimento do Patrimônio Cultural Brasileiro na região missioneira.
Elicitation of Health-related Quality-of-life Concepts Associated with Overactive Bladder: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Hawken Natalia , Hakimi Zalmai , Aballéa Samuel , Nazir Jameel , O. Odeyemi Isaac A. , Toumi Mondher
Published: October 2019

Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a symptom-defined disorder. A range of instruments are available for assessing OAB symptom bother, urinary urgency and the effects of symptoms on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but few have been specifically designed and validated for this condition. HRQoL instruments should capture the concepts that are most relevant to patients. To our knowledge, there is no existing published conceptual framework for OAB.

Objectives: We performed a qualitative study to explore the impact of symptoms of OAB on affected patients and to develop a conceptual framework for OAB.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with OAB living in the United Kingdom were interviewed on the telephone by a trained psychologist using an interview discussion guide. Interview transcripts were analyzed thematically by two psychologists. Data collection and analysis was completed when data saturation, i.e. when little or no new information was obtained, was achieved.

Results: A total of 30 patients were interviewed. Fifteen patients (50%) had urge incontinence (i.e. OAB-wet). Interview data showed that OAB affected role functioning, sleep quality, social functioning, and emotional/mental functioning. In addition, patients often adopted non-medical coping strategies to manage their symptoms (e.g. planning activities). Factors which affected more than 50% of patients were going for a short walk, waking up at night, travelling/holidays, socializing/going out, embarrassment/shame, need to plan activities, and restriction of places visited. More patients with OAB-wet reported impairment of social and emotional/mental functioning than patients with OAB-dry. A conceptual framework for adults with OAB depicting the relationships between OAB concepts (or outcomes) was developed.

Conclusions: OAB has a profound effect on patient HRQoL and negatively affects a broad range of functions, including daily and work activities, leisure and social activities, psychological well-being, and sleep capacity. The conceptual framework emerging from this study supports the utilization of existing disease-specific HRQoL instruments, but identifies that work-related effects, which are relevant for OAB patients, are missing from currently available measures.
Relative Importance of Mode of Administration in Treatment Preferences among Plaque Psoriasis Patients in the United States

Background: Some aspects of psoriasis treatments can negatively influence patients’ quality of life. There is evidence from previous preference-elicitation research in psoriasis that administration characteristics are at least as important as treatment outcomes to patients.

Objectives: Our objective was to test the hypothesis that patients’ preferences for reduced disease and treatment burden are as important as preferences around treatment efficacy. We evaluated patient preferences for attributes of psoriasis treatments, including efficacy, tolerability, and mode and frequency of administration.

Methods: Adult patients in the United States with a self-reported physician diagnosis of psoriasis completed an online discrete-choice experiment survey. The survey included eight choice questions, each asking respondents to choose between pairs of hypothetical psoriasis medications defined by attributes including efficacy, adverse reactions, and mode and frequency of administration. A random-parameters logit regression model was used to model the preference data. Results from this model were used to calculate respondents’ willingness to trade efficacy for reduced treatment burden.

Results: A total of 397 respondents, with a mean self-assessed Psoriasis Activity and Severity Index score of 8.2 (SD, 9.8), provided data for analysis. Improvements in treatment efficacy were more important than improvements in speed of onset and were more important than most increases in the chance of treatment side effects. The maximum possible improvement in treatment efficacy offered in the study was not enough to match the improvements in well being associated with some changes in mode of administration. For example, respondents were willing to accept a reduction in the percentage of patients who achieve clear or almost-clear skin after treatment from approximately 70% to 40% to avoid injections at home and use a topical treatment. Topical treatments were the most preferred option of administration followed by oral agents and intravenous infusion.

Conclusions: Psoriasis patients had well-defined preferences for changes in the treatment attributes considered. Avoiding injections in favor of oral or topical treatment was more important to patients than some improvements in efficacy. These findings support previous research regarding the importance of treatment burden relative to outcomes in psoriasis and emphasize the importance of individual patient preferences in determining treatment strategy.

High incidence of antibiotics resistant bacteria spurred researchers to obtain alternative antibacterial compounds. One source of potential antibacterial compounds i.e plants. Bougainvillea (Bougenvillea glabra) has been believed by the people of Indonesia to have medicinal properties, but its potential as an antibacterial has never been studied in Indonesia. The aims of this study were to determine the bioactive compounds ethanol extract of leaves and flowers of B. glabra as well as the minimum concentration of extract capable of inhibiting and killing bacteria growth. Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) was done used microdilution method and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) agar plate method. Ethanol extract of leaves and flowers of B. glabra possess antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria; Bacillus sp., S. aureus, Salmonella sp., E. coli, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae. Salmonella, Bacillus sp., and S. aureus growth is most vulnerable (p<0.05). The antibacterial activity of leaf and flower extracts was not significantly different (p>0.05) against all test bacteria. Antibacterial potency of leaves and flowers B. glabra suspected of flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids and alkaloids

Pytiriasiscapitis or dandruff is a condition of exofoliate peeling of the stratum corneum layer in the scalp. There are some factors that suspected to caused dandruff such as increased production of sebum, sensitivity individual against the sebum and microbiota activity in scalp, i.eMalasseziafurfur, Malassezia globosa, Pytirosporumovale, and Candida albicans. Therefore, treatment of dandruff is aimed to reduced sebum on the scalp and inhibit the growth of yeast population that causes dandruff. The juice of kaffir lime fruit (Citrus hystrix DC.) has been used by Indonesian people for tradisional therapy of dandruff. This study thas been conducted to find out antidandruff activities of M. furfur from kaffir lime fruit juice, peel, and leaves of kaffir lime tree extracted by ethanol, ethyl acetat, and n-hexan solvents. Antifungal activitiesis measured by inhibition zones using well diffusion agar methods.All citrus extracts showed antifungal activities against M. furfur with ethyl acetat solvent indicated the highest antidandruff activities, then followed by n-hexan, and ethanolicsolvent; although ethyl acetat and n-hexan was not significantly different (p>0.05).Leaves extract showed highest inhibition activities, then followed by fruit juice and peel extract, although leaves and fruit juice extracts was not significantly different (p>0.05).Part of the plant citrus consist of a alkaloid, saponin, tannin, phenolic, flavonoid, terpenoid, glikosida, and steroid. Antifungal activities suspected of phenolic, flavonoid, and terpenoid compounds. These results suggested that kaffir lime are effective against dandruff microbial and has potential as a herbal shampoo for dandruff treatment.

موقف الفقهاء المسلمين من منطق أرسطو
Authors: فرحات إسماعيل سالم
Published: October 2019

على الرغم من اهتمام المسلمين بالمنطق الأرسطي، وبلائهم فيه بلاء حسن منذ البداية، إلا أن موقف علماء وفلاسفة الإسلام من المنطق الأرسطي لم يكن موقفًا موحدًا، بل لقد انقسموا في موقفهم حول الوافد الغريب "المنطق" إلى موقفين:
الأول: وهو موقف القبول لهذا العلم والدفاع عنه، والذي بدا واضحا في موقف الغزالي وابن حزم وغيرهما.
الثاني: وهو موقف الرفض لهذا العلم ويمثله بعض الفقهاء والمتكلمين، فقد وقفوا منه موقفًا عدائيًّا وتنوعت حملاتهم القاسية عليه.
صحيح أن الإمام الغزالي بذل جهدًا كبيرًا في سبيل ربط المنطق بالفقه بغض النظر إلى قيمته الموضوعية، وبغض النظر عن مدى تناسق دعوته هذه مع موقفه العام من الفلسفة اليونانية، الذي رفض فيه إلهياتها وجانب من طبيعياتها، في حين أن المنطق مقدمة لهما فهو مشترك معهما في الروح العامة التي تناقض في عمومها مع الروح الإسلامية في انبنائها على الإلحاد، بغض النظر عن ذلك كله فقد نجح في إدخال المنطق إلى حظيرة العلوم الإسلامية مما جعل تاريخ هذا العلم في الثقافة الإسلامية، ينقسم إلى عهدين: عهد الرفض، وعهد القبول( ).
لكن ما هو موقف فقهاء المشرق العربي، وفقهاء المغرب العربي، وأيهما كان مؤيدًا، وأيهما كان معارضًا لتوجه الغزالي؟
هذا ما سوف نحاول تناوله في هذا البحث، وإن كنا سوف نركز على موقف ابن تيمية؛ لأنه تصدى تصديا كبيرًا للمنطق في القرن السابع الهجري.
A invisibilidade dos transexuais na educação: análise dos discursos legais sobre o nome social nas escolas do Brasil
Authors: Lessa Patrícia , Oliveira Marcio
Published: October 2019

O processo de transexualização ainda é uma discussão recente no Brasil, pouco ou nada se fala sobre as/os transexuais. Sua invisibilidade nos espaços educacionais é notável. Este estudo objetiva analisar os discursos do Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM) confrontando-os com os discursos da recente legislação do “nome social” que está em vigor nas escolas públicas brasileiras. Como procedimento de coleta de dados, usamos o método documental. Os saberes tecnobiomédicos e jurídicos identificam na cirurgia de correção da genitália formas de normalização dos corpos. A transexualidade apresenta-se como uma interrogação radical não somente sobre os processos de identificação, mas, também, sobre a noção de identidade sexual. A desconstrução de gênero se faz presente mesmo na tentativa de enquadrá-la às normas e ditames da heteronormatividade. Daí decorre a importância desse estudo para educação.
