Authors: Filippidou Eleni
Published: April 2022

The aim of this research is to study the process of constructing the national identity of two communities of European Turkey, or otherwise Turkish Thrace, Edirne and Calikoy. In particular this paper attempts to investigate how the residents of the two communities under study, during the communication with the political power negotiate their national identity, through the dancing wedding ritual of "Kina gecesi". Data was gathered through the ethnographic method as this is applied in the study of dance, while the interpretation of the data was based on the theoritical visual on the socio-cybernetics, according to the identity control theory that Burke proposed. From the data analysis it was found that, both communities, interacting with the political ideology of each time, used the dancing ritual of "Kina gecesi" as an indicator of their ethnic and consequently national identity, wich moves between Kemalism and Political Islam.  "Kina gecesi" dancing ritual continue until today to be an indicator of national identity in Turkey and to strengthen the unity of the Turkish territory by presenting in places peculiarities of its performane depending  on the time (Kemalism, Political Islam) and the place (urban/non urban).

Authors: Butt Sadaf , Rizwan Muhammad
Published: April 2022

Gurdwara Shiri Guru Singh Sabha is the finest historical and religio-cultural legacy of Sikhs in Hazara Division. Due to the absence of Sikh population, it is not functional for religious activities and remained closed till 1976. Later the building became part of various departments and was eventually converted into a library in 2000 but its old look and architecture have been taken care of. This magnificent three story Gurdwara still amazes the visitors with its architectural beauty. This masterpiece of Sikh architecture still exists with its historical, religious and cultural values. The current study is an attempt to elaborate all those historical aspects associated with Gurdwara which are still hidden from the limelight. The study also seeks to highlight the religious significance of the Gurdwara for the Sikh community of Pakistan and abroad. The research has mainly been conducted through primary and secondary sources including historical evidences, interviews, journals and books etc with an aim to highlight the scope of religious tourism in the Hazara Region. The decision of the ETBP to resume Sikh rituals and worship here is really a matter of happiness for the Sikh community. This decision will further promote peace in the times to come. Gurdwara is a testament to the fact that the religious places of minorities in Pakistan are not only safe but as intact as possible.

Published: April 2022

The article discusses the onomastic conversion (lexical-semantic method) - a nominal, i.e. functional transfer of words is a common phenomenon in the language, in which the transfer of a lexeme from one-word group to another word group, the transition of appellate lexicon to a noun without any constructive means. In language, the transition of words from one category to another is uninterrupted, because word groups themselves are not a phenomenon with a fixed boundary, as a result of the constant movement of language, words tend to move towards one lexical-grammatical category and perform their function. Language development occurs through events such as derivation, transformation, transposition, and conversion.

Authors: Abdullayeva Gavhar Saparovna
Published: April 2022

At the present stage of the development of education in the world and domestic pedagogy are increasingly turning to the idea of inclusive education, which implies access to education for all, including for persons with special educational needs. Supporting the idea of inclusive education, implementing the introduction of inclusive practice, educational institutions operate in an innovative mode. The professional standard of teachers indicates that in the new social conditions there is a requirement – the willingness and ability of teachers to teach all persons without exception, regardless of their inclinations, development abilities, limited opportunities. This requirement entails the expansion of the functional responsibilities of teachers, changes in professionally significant and personal characteristics, but reliance only on traditional pedagogical skills and abilities is insufficient. The presentation of new functions and the increase in the requirements for the activities of teachers in the context of inclusive education lead to various difficulties for them. Practice of educational organizations higher education in the field of teaching people with special educational needs indicates that the educational process requires deep study, especially the content of its educational and methodological support, which significantly complicates the process of implementing inclusive education technologies. It is necessary to develop scientific and methodological complexes, methodological and educational products, programs professional training of teachers to work in inclusive education.
Perspectives on Contributing Factors to Rape in the Selected Areas of Mankweng, South Africa
Authors: Mamabolo Sekwaila Naum , Lekgau Khomotjo , Maluleke Witness
Published: April 2022

Rape has always been a thorny issue in out postmodern society and South Africa has been confirmed to be the rape capital of the world. Our current society has overlooked, normalised, and made rape invisible due to our societal norms relating gender and culture connotations. The objective of the study was to explore the perceptions of community members on contributing factors to rape in the selected areas of Mankweng. This qualitative study employed the ‘Qualitative’ [Q]-methodology research design, supported by the exploratory research design for the explorations of community members’ perceptions on contributing factors to rape in selected areas of Mankweng. About Thirty (30) participants were purposively selected to form part of the Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The findings of this study showcased that the contributory factors to rape incidences in the Mankweng policing areas can be categorised under these Three (03) themes: 1) Structural, 2) Socio-cultural, and; 3) Economic factors. These factors increase chances of women being raped. Therefore, primary preventative interventions should be more focused on re-building women’s status in societies and implementing programmes to educate them about rape and the National government and Non-Governmental Programmes (NPOs) should aim at promoting both social and economic empowerment of young women, focusing on financing their intended projects to encourage their independency and avoid over reliance to man. The monthly programmes and awareness campaigns should be hosted to educate community members about the contributory factors to rape and related consequences thereof, as well as effective preventative measures.

Theological and Ethical Reflections on Surrogacy from an African Perspective
Authors: Boaheng Isaac
Published: April 2022

The desire to procreate is common among couples. However, for some reasons, some couples are unable to have their own children through the traditional natural means of conception and delivery. Some of these couple give up and remain childless; others adopt children and raise them as their own and yet, some others continue to explore modern Assisted Reproductive Techniques to have “children of their own.” Surrogacy is one of such means. Though a highly patronized reproductive technique, the ethical, socio-cultural or theological/religious implications of surrogacy have been hotly debated among (Christian and non-Christian) ethicists and theologians. In Africa, where assisted reproductive technology is relatively new, the scholarly debate surrounding surrogacy is also relatively new. This literature research contributes to the ongoing debate by offering a theological and ethical reflection on surrogacy from an African Christian perspective. This paper found all surrogacy practices as immorally wrong except those that use the gametes of spouses and do not involve the deliberate killing of foetus in the procreation process.

GIS-based seismic vulnerability assessment for the Istanbul Historical Peninsula
Authors: Erdoğan Selda , Terzi Fatih
Published: April 2022

According to the Index of Risk Management-INFORM 2020 Report, Turkey was included in the group of “high-risk” countries in terms of humanitarian crises and disasters with an index score of 5.0 in 2019. In statistics related to the damage caused by disasters, it is known that natural disasters cause a 3% loss in Turkey's gross national product every year, and this rate approaches 4-5% with indirect losses. Since disasters cause socioeconomic, physical, and institutional losses, attention has been given to the importance of disaster management and risk reduction studies. This paper focuses on vulnerability assessments and presents a multi-criteria decision-making and earthquake-related vulnerability assessment method by using physical and socioeconomic parameters in the Historic Peninsula. A Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method was applied in this study because vulnerability assessments are complex and depend on many different criteria. Due to its flexible structure, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is one of the MCDM methods widely used in urban vulnerability assessment studies, was preferred and integrated with Geographic Information Systems. As a result of the study, it is found that approximately 49% of the district is at a moderate vulnerability level in terms of socioeconomic characteristics. For the structural characteristics, this rate is found to be at a high vulnerability level of 93%. The remaining 7% is moderately vulnerable. In this context, emphasis should be placed on identifying risky structures and strengthening and renovating them in the Historic Peninsula. The results of the method proposed in this study can be used as a basis for risk reduction studies. In addition, it can be a guide in pre-disaster risk reduction studies and can be integrated into city planning processes to keep disaster damage at minimum levels and predict the damage that may occur in settlements. The proposed method is a low-cost and short-term analysis that can be used, especially in public institutions that lack a technologically qualified workforce.
Understanding the cultural landscape value of traditional agrarian landscapes of African Sahara Desert: The case of Timimoun, Algeria
Authors: Chouaib Guerrout , Baser Kalyoncuoglu Bahar
Published: April 2022

In 1992, the World Heritage Convention became the first international legal instrument recognize cultural landscapes as a human heritage that must be protected.  The Cultural Landscape - Past, Present and Future considers different aspects of man's intervention with natural vegetation and the landscape resulting from a long equilibrium of co-existence. These landscapes are not stable, and the recent and ever accelerating changes in technology and life-style have increasingly affected many ancient landscapes, as old land-use practices are abandoned and traditions forgotten.(Birks et al., 1988) Human communities in desert areas formed a special landscape, providing these cultural landscapes within a special ecosystem of sustainable living conditions, which helped to create many social, economic, and cultural systems in addition to preserving biodiversity. 

Unfortunately, the cultural landscape in the African desert is constantly deteriorating under the influence of urban, economic, and social changes. In the southern Algerian Timimoun city of is one of the most important global desert touristic destination due to the natural cultural landscape characterizes it, but unfortunately this landscape in continuous deterioration. Agricultural landscapes of desert environment, with its remarkable knowledge culture and world of practices, must be seen as a living library where this knowledge is transferred from generation to generation. It seems certain that we will need more of the know-how stored in this living library in the near future, especially considering the effects of climate change we are experiencing today.

The paper aims to identification of cultural landscapes in the oasis and analyses transformation and change in cultural landscape and traditional green infrastructure elements by relying on a historical analysis of spatial images based on quantitative analysis using ArcGIS software with the aim of identifying the real reasons of this deterioration in the urban cultural landscape in desert cites we will propose an action strategy to prevent this degradation.

Gondolellid conodonts and depositional setting of the Phosphoria Formation
Authors: Wardlaw Bruce R.
Published: April 2022

The Phosphoria Formation and related rocks were deposited over an 8.9 m.y. interval beginning approximately 274.0Ma and ending approximately 265.1Ma. The Meade Peak Phosphatic Shale Member was deposited in southeastern Idaho and adjacent Wyoming over 5.4 m.y. from approximately 273.2 to 268.6 Ma. The Retort Phosphatic Shale Member was deposited in southwestern Montana and west-central Wyoming over 1.3 m.y. from approximately 267.4 to 266.1Ma. The base of the Roadian Stage of the Middle Permian occurs within the lower phosphate zone of the Meade Peak. The base of the Wordian Stage occurs within the upper phosphate zone of the Meade Peak. The presence of a cool-water brachiopod fauna, cool-water conodont faunas, and the absence of fusulinids throughout the Phosphoria basin indicate the presence of pervasive cool, upwelling waters. Acritarchs are intimately associated with phosphorites and phosphatic shales and may have been the primary organic producer to help drive phosphate production. The gondolellid conodont fauna of the Phosphoria Formation links a geographic cline of Jinogondolella nankingensis from the Delaware basin, West Texas, to the Sverdrup basin, Canadian Arctic, and shows distinct differentiation in species distribution, as do other conodont groups, within the Phosphoria basin. Ten species and two subspecies of gondolellid conodonts are recognized from the Phosphoria Formation and related rocks that belong to Mesogondolella and Jinogondolella.
Some contrasting biostratigraphic links between the Baker and Olds Ferry Terranes, eastern Oregon
Authors: Nestell Merlynd K. , Blome Charles D.
Published: April 2022

New stratigraphic and paleontologic data indicate that ophiolitic melange windows in the Olds Ferry terrane of eastern Oregon contain limestone blocks and chert that are somewhat different in age than those present in the adjacent Baker terrane melange. The melange windows in the Olds Ferry terrane occur as inliers in the flyschoid Early and Middle Jurassic age Weatherby Formation, which depositionally overlies the contact between the melange-rich Devonian to Upper Triassic rocks of the Baker terrane on the north, and Upper Triassic and Early Jurassic volcanic arc rocks of the Huntington Formation on the south. The Baker terrane and Huntington Formation represent fragments of a subduction complex and related volcanic island arc, whereas the Weatherby Formation consists of forearc basin sedimentary deposits. The tectonic blocks in the melange windows of the Weatherby Formation (in the Olds Ferry terrane) are dated by scarce biostratigraphic evidence as Upper Pennsylvanian to Lower Permian and Upper Triassic. In contrast, tectonic blocks of limestone in theBaker terrane yield mostly fusulinids and small foraminifers of Middle Pennsylvanian Moscovian age at one locality.Middle Permian (Guadalupian) Tethyan fusulinids and smaller foraminifers (neoschwagerinids and other Middle Permian genera) are present at a few other localities. Late Triassic conodonts and bryozoans are also present in a few of the Baker terrane tectonic blocks. These limestone blocks are generally embedded in Permian and Triassic radiolarian bearing chert or argillite. Based on conodont, radiolarian and fusulinid data, the age limits of the meange blocks in the Weatherby Formation range from Pennsylvanian to Late Triassic.

Scale-bearing siliceous nannoplankton are occasionally encountered in surface seawater samples, but are rarely identified or illustrated. In this study, the morphological diversity of the haptophyte Hyalolithus neolepis and the enigmatic Petasaria heterolepis are investigated in scanning and transmission electron microscopes using materials from around the world. Results show that H. neolepis scales exhibit variation in the width of the marginal hyaline area, but intermediate specimens make separation of the two morphologies difficult. Petasaria heterolepis scales also show differences, in the presence of tubercle rows in the hyaline area and degree of hyaline areal coverage, but separation into discrete varieties is difficult at present. However, specimens with scales bearing a protuberance are considered to be distinct enough to warrant the erection of a new species, Petasaria protuberans Jordan,Malinverno, Å upraha, Thomsen et Young sp. nov.

Authors: Raj Keerthan , P.S Aithal
Published: April 2022

India is poised on a renewed growth path and several new initiatives are a brainchild of this vision. Programs such as Skill India, Digital India, and Make in India are certain key strategies for driving growth and sustainable socio economic development. The base of the pyramid sector is predominantly characterized by people with very low incomes; it is known that the bottom of the pyramid is the largest but poorest socio-economic group in the world. The current usage of the term ‘bottom of the pyramid’ refers to the four billion people living on less than $ 2 per day, the definition was familiarized and became widely known in 1998 through the works of C. K. Prahalad and Stuart L. Hart. The wealth and revenue generation capabilities at the base of the pyramid, especially in emerging markets have been the topic of many studies and research in recent years. The potential of the customers, who live on less than $ 2 per day, is immense. It is estimated that India accounts for close to 300 million adults and is a significant percentage of the population. If there has to be inclusive and all round growth and development it has to be aimed at empowering the poorest of the poor. This is a conceptual paper and looks at the sustained growth of India during India 2.0 period (1992 onwards) and further fuelled by PM Modi Government, aimed by the various initiatives and explores avenues to create sustained development from the BOP perspective with special focus on Economic development, Social development, Environmental protection, and Industry development

Reverberações do patrimônio cultural
Authors: Lemos Jr. Urbano , Gosciola Vicente
Published: April 2022

Em 2009, o Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (Iphan), determinou que o Toque dos Sinos e o Ofício de Sineiros são considerados Patrimônios Culturais do Brasil. O processo de salvaguarda teve como referência nove cidades de Minas Gerais e mostra a importância das práticas e dos saberes a eles inerentes. Nesse contexto, este artigo investiga sobre como o sino e o sineiro são retratados em produções artísticas. O estudo analisa as manifestações performáticas a partir das três funções que os sinos desempenham: percussão, religiosidade e sinalização (BARBOSA, 2016). Para tanto, o objeto do estudo são dez produções artísticas distribuídas entre literatura, cinema e música. A metodologia compreende a análise das produções a partir das funções e da representatividade do bem cultural (CARSALADE, 2016). Deste modo, o objetivo da pesquisa é mostrar as representações do sino em diferentes produções artísticas. O estudo ampara-se em Choay (2000) e Rajewsky (2012), a fim de entender as reverberações entre patrimônio cultural e as representações midiáticas. Ao final, concluímos que a linguagem presente no toque dos sinos, assim como a atuação de sineiro, inspirou muitas produções artísticas e, em algumas, há múltiplas relações com a ideia de patrimônio cultural, favorecendo as representações midiáticas que se mostram como uma possibilidade eficaz para as reverberações de bens de natureza imaterial.
Identidade discursiva e identidade cultural nas cantigas do congado mineiro
Authors: Morato Elisson Ferreira
Published: April 2022

Este trabalho discute a construção da identidade cultural de grupos de congado a partir de uma análise das cantigas de congado do centro-oeste mineiro por meio do aporte teórico da teoria semiolinguística de Charaudeau (2021, 2008, 2006, [2005a] 2021, [2005b] 2021, 2004). Para tanto, recorremos aos conceitos de contrato comunicacional, competências linguísticas e imaginários sociodiscursivos. Como uma teoria que dialoga com outras, conciliamos a abordagem semiolinguística com os conceitos de identidade, de Bauman (2005, 2003) e identidade cultural, de Hall (2012, 2006, 2003). Para abordar aspectos relacionados ao congado, recorremos aos trabalhos de autores como Mello e Souza (2002), Schechner (2012) e Silva (2010). Na perspectiva deste trabalho, a identidade cultural dos grupos de congado se constitui a partir da enunciação operada por esses grupos no âmbito de um papel social coletivo que desempenham durante as festividades do congado, evidenciando que a identidade é circunstancial, dada pela situação comunicacional em que esses grupos se encontram e nos quais enunciam sua identidade de congadeiro. Para efetivar esse processo identitário, o sujeito congadeiro mobiliza um conjunto de imaginários, na forma de saberes compartilhados pelo grupo, por meio dos quais representa a si mesmo, o grupo e também o reinado com seus respectivos rituais.
Caros camaradas
Authors: Alvares de Farias João Guilherme
Published: April 2022

O filme Caros Camaradas: trabalhadores em luta (dorogie tovarishchi), do diretor russo Andrei Konchalovsky, estreou no Brasil em 2021. O objetivo desta resenha é articular e problematizar as cenas do filme a partir de duas possíveis chaves de análise (luta de classes e repressão política) que permitem compreender o período e o movimento político nele retratados, e cuja história está baseada em fatos ocorridos em 1962, na pequena cidade russa de Novocherkassk. O referencial teórico adotado diz respeito à interpretação marxista que entende a formação social e econômica soviética a partir da tese do capitalismo de Estado. A metodologia utilizada consiste em adotar o filme como “suporte” para problematizar as contradições que afetaram a experiência soviética e que foram captadas em termos teóricos pelo referencial aqui adotado.
variação linguística em livros didáticos de Língua Portuguesa do 7º ano
Authors: Menoncin Pierozan Samanta Kélly , Sonaglio Pedrassani Júlia
Published: April 2022

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o tratamento da variação linguística em dois livros didáticos (LDs) de língua portuguesa do 7º ano, Ensino Fundamental (EF); os livros constituem a obra ‘Coleção Apoema’ e ‘Tecendo Linguagens’, respectivamente. A pesquisa está inserida na interface entre a Sociolinguística e o ensino da língua materna português, sendo esses discutidos sob a luz da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Para tanto, utiliza-se uma abordagem qualitativa e metodologia descritivo-bibliográfica. Os resultados da análise mostram que o fenômeno linguístico ‘variação’ é pouco explorado em ambos os LDs, que apesar de preconizarem uma abordagem baseada no desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades acaba não as contemplando efetivamente. O fato de a variação linguística ser colocada à margem de outros objetos de estudo, no âmbito escolar, limita uma série de possíveis discussões e reflexões acerca de questões relacionadas à diversidade cultural e vai de encontro à atual necessidade de se combater o preconceito linguístico. Logo, a partir da análise aqui apresentada, bem como dos estudos realizados e que a fundamentam, chama-se a atenção do mercado editorial para a apresentação de propostas didáticas que realmente integrem diferentes práticas de linguagem e experiências estéticas e interculturais, uma vez que essas consolidam o que é preconizado na BNCC, a qual serve de referência para o desenvolvimento de um processo de ensino e aprendizagem com bases que dialogam entre si.

Electrical power is transmitted from the generation plants to end-users at distant locations through the transmission lines. These lines are exposed to various environmental conditions and faults may occur causing power interruption to end users, damage to the power system. The fault detection has been a main objective of power system engineers, in transmission and distribution systems. Identification of fault source is tedious task; fast fault detection can help to protect the equipment before any significant damage of the equipment. The exact fault dictation can help service man to remove persistent of the faults and type the faults occur regularly, thus reducing the occurrence of fault and minimize the time of power outages. The paper is intended to detect the of fault in transmission line using an NodeMCU and the same is transmitted to control center using IoT device.
Transforming On-Campus Education: Promise and Peril Information Technology in Traditional Universities
Authors: Dr. Kiliveti Swaroop Kumar
Published: April 2022

The governing bodies of all European universities have identified opportunities that, in the mind of the friends of technology, take the form of Napster universities where students would download from a huge reservoir of courses created by a multitude of universities what suits them and be able to send questions to professors from anywhere in the world. In 1998, in the framework of a plan to support innovation in teaching, the Rector decided to promote the Campus Global project conceived, initially, as an intranet designed exclusively for teaching purposes, and which aimed at complementing and supporting on-campus teaching. In effect, the loss of identity of university teaching as opposed to that at the secondary level is the result of political, economic, social, and demographic factors that led to the 'schoolfication' of university teaching. Unlike the post-graduate level where individualized service to the student is characteristic and essential, the criterion for teaching at the undergraduate level is spreading a scarce resource - the teacher - over the maximum number of students, while setting limits on the effort the teacher must expend to protect the time devoted to research by expressing this in formal terms of number of hours lectured - or credits.

Introduction

The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the effect of ongoing statin treatment on susceptibility to influenza virus infection and on influenza-associated mortality.

Material and methods

Studies investigating the impact of statin treatment on influenza prevalence and mortality were searched in PubMed-Medline, Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge, Embase, Proquest, OVID, EBSCO and CINAHLdatabases (up to June 30, 2020). Fixed- and random-effects model and generic inverse variance method were used for quantitative data synthesis.

Results

In the meta-analysis of 15 arms of 3 eligible studies including flu-vaccinated and unvaccinated patients, treatment with statins was associated with a reduction of influenza virus prevalence [Odds Ratio (OR) 0.85, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.73-0.99; p 0.040]. No significant effect of statins on the susceptibility to influenza infection was observed in the distinct communities of either vaccinated or unvaccinated subjects. Among 9 arms of 6 eligible studies, the use of statins among patients with influenza was associated with a reduced mortality [OR (95% CI), 0.68 (0.56, 0.82); p<0.001]. This result was confirmed for both 30-day mortality since influenza infection diagnosis [OR (95% CI), 0.61 (0.47, 0.80); p<0.001] and for up to 90-day mortality [OR (95% CI), 0.74 (0.55, 1.00); p=0.042].

Conclusions

A reduced influenza prevalence and anincreased survivalfrom influenza infection was observed in patients on ongoing statin treatment. Further research is needed to define the possible role of statins as adjunctive therapy in patients with influenza infection.
REAÇÃO GRANULOMATOSA INDUZIDA PELO SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI, UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

Introdução: Esquistossomose é uma doença infectoparasitária, a qual induz à formação granulomatosa como resposta imunológica. Tais lesões podem produzir efeitos sistêmicos no organismo infectado. Objetivos: Esclarecer como se originam os granulomas induzidos pelo Schistosoma mansoni. Metodologia: Foi desenvolvida uma revisão integrativa, utilizando artigos científicos e livros, cuja pesquisa se deu pelas palavras-chave: granuloma; Schistosoma mansoni; Th2. Após triagem, selecionou-se 2 artigos dentre 892 iniciais encontrados nas bases de dados, além de 4 livros e 1 monografia redigidos em língua portuguesa e publicados entre 2008 e 2021. Resultados: A esquistossomose é causada pelo Schistosoma mansoni, que tem como hospedeiro intermediário o caramujo do gênero Biomphalaria, e, em humanos, seu hospedeiro definitivo (HD). O ciclo se inicia quando os ovos do parasito, presentes em fezes expostas à água, eclodem em miracídios, forma natante livre. Há, assim, a penetração da larva no molusco, para diferenciação em cercárias maduras. Essas são eliminadas na água e vão ao encontro da pele humana. Logo que penetram-na, perdem a cauda, tornando-se esquistossômulos, que migram até o sistema porta, onde se desenvolvem em vermes adultos. Então, a fêmea é fecundada no canal ginecóforo do macho e, posteriormente, deposita seus ovos em vasos de menor calibre. Aqueles que não são eliminados nas fezes do HD, podem induzir a reação granulomatosa, em decorrência dos antígenos de miracídios nos ovos. De início a resposta imune ao helminto segue o padrão Th1, então sofre repolarização para Th2, provocando mudança das citocinas predominantes na resposta. Assim, há fusão de células epitelióides formadoras do granuloma, o qual impede a quimiotaxia de nutrientes para o ovo, causando sua degeneração. De tal forma, as lesões tornam-se tecido cicatricial, que pode influenciar na fisiologia hepática. Conclusão: O granuloma é uma importante ferramenta de defesa para que o sistema imune consiga isolar e impedir a disseminação de patógenos pelo organismo. Assim, como uma resposta contra o Schistosoma mansoni, um patógeno extracelular, o padrão de granuloma utilizado é o Th2, com a presença de IL-13, IL-4, IL-10 e TGF-β, o qual desencadeia a formação de uma barreira ao redor dos ovos, a fim de evitar o desenvolvimento do helminto.

Published: April 2022

Introdução: O glúten é um complexo proteico, em que predominam as proteínas glutenina e gliadina, sendo que a gliadina é considerada como a fração tóxica do composto, pois quando é consumida por indivíduos predispostos geneticamente, é parcialmente digerida, mas não absorvida, desencadeando reações imunológicas como a intolerância, reação autoimune (doença celíaca) e reação de hipersensibilidade. Objetivos: O objetivo do trabalho foi realizar uma investigação laboratorial em produtos industrializados prontos para consumo que possuem o rótulo de “Não contém glúten”, e desenvolver uma discussão sobre os riscos da rotulagem inadequada de alimentos para esses indivíduos com susceptibilidade inflamatória a apresentar “reações alimentares”. Material e métodos: O preparo das amostras foi realizado em laboratório seguindo o manual do teste de imunocromatografia AgraStrip® Gluten G12 produzido pela Romer Labs®, caracterizado como teste rápido em tiras qualitativas, com limite de detecção de 5,10 e 20 ppm. Resultados: A leitura dos resultados foi feita com base na observação da região analítica da tira reagente após o tempo determinado, sendo considerados válidos aqueles em que a zona de controle aparece demarcada, dessa forma, dos seis alimentos testados, todos foram válidos e “não reagentes”. O teste apresentou-se sensível à análise dos alimentos, mostrando a necessidade da rotulagem e da maior atenção no processo de coleta e fabricação da matéria, já que pode haver uma contaminação cruzada, gerando em indivíduos propícios um agravamento em seus supostos quadros inflamatórios. Conclusão: Concluímos que são necessários mais estudos sobre os mecanismos imunológicos envolvidos nas desordens relacionadas ao glúten, além da realização de mais testes para confirmar a eficiência da rotulagem.
