Dinizia excelsa is one of the largest trees in the Amazon rainforest, with significant economic potential for the recovery of degraded areas. It is a key species for biodiversity and increased forest biomass. However, studies related to seedling production of this species are still scarce. In this study, we evaluated the production and quality of D. excelsa seedlings in response to the application of controlled-release fertilizer doses. The experimental design was completely randomized, applying different doses of Osmocote® (T1=0; T2=4.1; T3=8.2; and T4=12.3 g.dm-³) with four replicates, using vermiculite and coconut fiber (1:1 v/v) as the substrate. We assessed the number of leaves and leaflets, shoot and root length, stem diameter, seedling height, shoot-to-stem diameter ratio, leaf area, dry mass of shoot, root, and total biomass. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and regression analysis. The seedlings responded positively to the use of Osmocote®, and starting from the 4.1 g.dm-³ dose, biomass accumulation showed better results, making it a recommended practice that allows cost savings in seedling production of this species.
Treatment of hypophosphatasia
Authors: Seefried Lothar
Published: July 2023

ypophosphatasia is a systemic metabolic disorder due to genetically determined deficient activity of the tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). The phenotypic presentation is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations regarding both, affected body systems and organs as well as the severity of associated deficits. Appropriate treatment strategies thus have to be multimodal in order to cover individual disease manifestation. For patients with disease onset before adulthood, enzyme replacement therapy with asfotase alfa is approved in Europe to treat the bone manifestations of the disease. Available data from clinical trials as well as real-word evidence confirm encouraging results of this treatment in severely affected children with substantial improvement regarding radiographic and functional outcome parameters as well as overall survival. In adult patients with disease manifestation pursuant to the label, published results also report substantial amelioration of disease-specific deficits along with functional improvements. Meanwhile, there is are also data supporting the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with asfotase alfa over several years. While inflammatory muskuloskeletal pain - seemingly the most prevalent clinical manifestation along with exhaustion - can transiently be mitigated with on-demand NSARs, essential treatment options to causatively overcome that issue are still lacking. Accordingly, maintenance of musculoskeletal health and functionality requires sustained supportive treatment including physiotherapy and individually adjusted technical orthopedic support. The use and potential clinical impact of phosphate and vitamin B6 on the course of the disease requires further investigation. Current data regarding the use of bone-targeted compounds established for osteoporosis is critical in terms of antiresorptive, while osteoanabolic treatment strategies appear feasible. Considering further organ manifestation including orodental, gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms etc., the entirety of therapeutic measures should be coordinated among a multidisciplinary team and overlooked at an experienced center, while individual tasks can preferably be accomplished at local facilities near the patient’s home.

Published: July 2023

There are large gaps in the research of queer lifeworlds and the field of LGBTQ+ research. Kerstin Probst and Lara Fößel address this desideratum and examine how media content influences the identity development of queer youth. Interviews with experts-by-experience show that media can also be a resource in the process of self-discovery and how important it is to have a media landscape that reflects diverse gender identities. The authors give suggestions for social work practice and show how professionals can strengthen their competence in working with queer youth. But also teachers and teachers in extracurricular educational work receive profitable impulses.
Vitamin D Improves the Lipotoxicity of Liver Cells by Adjusting Epigenetic Characteristics of Genes
Authors: Hu Suxia , Reyimu Abdusemer
Published: July 2023

Background: With the improvement in living standards and the change in eating habits, the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has gradually increased, and it has become one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide. Objectives: In this study, we used vitamin D3 to interfere with the hyperlipidemia-induced NAFLD cell model to explore the mechanism of vitamin D in improving the lipotoxicity of liver cells by regulating the epigenetic characteristics of genes and to provide new clues for the treatment of late-stage NAFLD. Methods: GSE200765, a data chip for vitamin D3 intervention in liver cell lipotoxicity, was screened from the GEO database. They were divided into the control group (untreated), model group (oleic OA/PA), and vitamin D3 intervention group (OA/PA+SV-VD3 group). Differential expression genes between the control group and model group, model group, and vitamin D3 intervention group were screened by the GEO2R tool. Differentially expressed genes construct a target PPI network map through the STRING database and analyze the KEGG pathway of differentially expressed genes in the DAVID database. The t-test or Unpaired t-test with Welch's correction was used to analyze the expression trend of pathway genes. Results: Compared with the control group, 218 genes were up-regulated, and 255 genes were down-regulated in the model group, of which 26 genes were enriched in the complex and coagulation cascades and cell cycle pathways. After oleic OA/PA was added to HepaRG cells, the complex and coordination cascades pathway was relatively weak, and the cell cycle pathway was relatively strong. Compared with the model group, 554 genes were up-regulated, and 704 genes were down-regulated in the vitamin D3 intervention group, of which 23 genes were enriched in the apoptosis pathway. The apoptosis pathway was relatively weakened after vitamin D3 intervened in oleic OA/PA-treated HepaRG cells. The trend analysis of gene expression in the pathway showed that gene expression disorder in the complex and coagulation cascades, cell cycle, and apoptosis pathways were reversed after vitamin D3 intervention. Conclusions: Through bioinformatics, key pathway genes of vitamin D intervention on hepatocyte lipotoxicity were discovered, which were related to the complex and coordination cascades, cell cycles, and apoptosis pathways. The inhibition of vitamin D on lipotoxicity of human hepatocytes and the possible reversal mechanism was found, which provided ideas for the later treatment of NAFLD and hepatocyte damage.
Prevalence of Sleep Bruxism and Respiratory Disorders in Schoolchildren Aged 8 - 11 Years in Kerman, Iran: Pre-COVID Pandemic Phase
Authors: Farokh Gisoure Elham , Zare Emamzadeh Athareh , Nekouei Amir
Published: July 2023

Background: Bruxism is a parafunctional oral activity defined as excessive teeth grinding or jaw clenching. This disorder causes damage to the teeth and deforms them. Objectives: This is the first phase of the sleep bruxism and respiratory disorders assessment study in Kerman, Iran, which evaluated respiratory disorders and sleep bruxism in schoolchildren aged 8 - 11 years between 2018 - 2019. Methods: A total of 573 primary school students aged 8 - 11 years were recruited for this cross-sectional study in Kerman between 2018 - 2019. The subjects were chosen randomly from 20 schools located throughout the city. Following permission from officials, 30 students from each school were admitted to the study randomly. The parents were invited to fill out a checklist that included a history of respiratory and sleep problems and signs of bruxism or abnormal jaw movements. Additionally, an examination was performed, and the symptoms of bruxism, such as tooth wear and restoration fractures, were documented. Results: The parents of 573 children were recruited to the study. The prevalence of bruxism and respiratory diseases was observed to be 20.6% (n = 118) and 26.5% (n = 152), respectively. The children with sound production had 2.3 times higher odds of bruxism prevalence than those without sound production (P = 0.004). However, children with temporomandibular joint and paranasal sinus sensitivity had 4.5 (P = 0.001) and 3.8 (P = 0.001) times higher odds, respectively. Additionally, the odds of bruxism prevalence were 1.4 times higher in children with respiratory disorders than those without (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Bruxism was common in children who had a respiratory disorder. Given the potential impact of bruxism on children’s dental health, it is important to pay special attention to the health status of children with respiratory disorders.
Caracterización experimental del comportamiento hidromecánico de una arcilla compactada
Authors:   , Buenfil Berzunza Carlos Manuel
Published: July 2023

The characteristics of the compaction process condition the hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils imposing to them certain structure, a suction and an initial state of preconsolidation. Two of the aspects little studied in these soils are the effects of the anisotropy derived from the compaction process and the connection between the deformations and the humidity changes when they are under changes of suction or tension. In individual, it is to emphasize that in relation to these two aspects there exist until present few experimental results, specially in triaxial conditions.
The primary objective of the Thesis has been to obtain useful guidelines of behaviour experimentally to develop conceptual constitutive models that cover the indicated aspects. For this, the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a statically compacted soil with an open fabric has been analyzed under controlled tension and suction paths having considered the stress history achieved out during the compaction. The secondary target, but necessary to reach the primary target, has been to construct and put to point a suction-controlled triaxial cell, automated. One of the most relevant aspects of the cell is the possibility to measuring sample deformations both local and global form.
The tests have been performed on the one dimensionally compacted Barcelona clay. Characterization of the structure of compacted soil has performed by means of electronic microscopy (ESEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). The test procedures to put to point are described in detail in the text of the Thesis.
In the tests, it has been observed that due to the soil deformation, the changes in the retention curve of the material lead to that an increase of soil water on loading under a low suction (10 kPa). In this loading path with higher suctions a reduction of water has been observed.
The tests have shown that the initial yielding curve of the soil can be displayed as an inclined elliptical form and that during the initial phase of isotropic loading path is observed appreciable shear strain. The axis inclination of the ellipse shows similar features that the inclination of stress paths followed during the compaction in conditions of null lateral deformation. As increasing the applied load or reducing the suction, accumulating irreversible deformations, a progressive tendency towards isotropic behaviour of the soil has been observed. On the other hand, it has been observed that the relations between shear and volumetric plastic strain increment are similar when collapse paths by decrease, suction or increase loading are followed.
The experimental results have been interpreted using as conceptual framework the Barcelona basic model, the model for saturated anisotropic soil of Wheeler et al. (2003) and the hydromechanical model of Vaunat et al. (2000).
Arquitectura i societat a la Roma imperial
Authors: Oliver-Bonjoch Oliver Jesús
Published: July 2023

Mitjançant l'anàlisi d'una selecció acurada d'edificis, el fil conductor d'aquest llibre ens va presentant els factors que varen incidir en el naixement i l'evolució de l'arquitectura de voltes al centre d'Itàlia, que esdevingué l'estil arquitectònic genuí de la Roma imperial. Juntament amb la descripció del desenvolupament de les tècniques constructives i de la gènesi d'un llenguatge arquitectònic propi que incorpora el vocabulari grec, es descobreix una correspondència entre aquest procés evolutiu i el curs dels esdeveniments que n'anaren marcant les pautes, des de l'expansió a Orient i l'origen de l'evergetisme, fins a l'adveniment del règim imperial, el gran incendi de Roma i la participació decisiva de diversos emperadors, com Neró i Hadrià. La mateixa ciutat de Roma proporcionaria l'escenari ideal d'aquest procés, en fer possible la construcció de grans edificis públics, com els Mercats de Traianus i les Termes de Caracal·la, que precisament incentivaren bona part de les innovacions tècniques i estètiques.
Del símbol a l'espectacle : teatres de la Il·lustració a l'eclecticisme
Authors: Ramon Graells Antoni
Published: July 2023

La tesi doctoral que aquí es presenta estudia les relacions que es donen entre la idea i la forma als teatres. El treball es limita a analitzar el període de mitjan segle XVII a finals del XIX. A l'inici, durant el Segle de les llums, s'esdevé una renaixença de l'estima del simbolisme de les formes; aquestes s'utilitzen no pas pel que són, sinó pel que simbolitzen. La conversió de les formes en pur espectacle visual, una de les manifestacions de la modernitat, comporta, forçosament, la crisi del ressorgiment de els formes simbòliques. Així, en estudiar aquest trànsit, la tesi afronta un dels aspectes cabdals de la formació de la sensibilitat moderna.
Durant el període analitzat el teatre esdevé una de les tasques rectores de la societat. En la Il·lustració es vol crear un teatre nou: públic i formatiu. Amb la restauració burgesa, anar al teatre esdevé un ritu; el teatre, i l'òpera en particular, s'institucionalitza i forma part dels mecanismes que estructuren la vida pública burgesa. La tesi es dedica a resseguir les transformacions del teatre com a organisme arquitectònic en el transcurs del període esmentat, a repassar els canvis que experimenta i a observar si són fruit d'una evolució gradual o d'unes innovacions sobtades.
La divina proporción : las formas geométricas
Authors: Bonell Costa Carmen
Published: July 2023

Estos textos son fruto de la fascinación por las formas geométricas; fascinación a la que no es ajena la estética, porque ellas producen "la sensación de algo muy bello, que no requiere justificación ni explicación alguna". Las formas geométricas son formas vivas, orgánicas acumulativas; son configuraciones con capacidad organizativa que provocan, que mueven a la imaginación. Son formas fundamentales y, porque lo son, están presentes en todos los tiempos, en todas las artes y son comunes a todas las civilizaciones.

Resseguint els textos més significatius d'aquest ampli període, el nostre escrit vol ser un indici del pacient i apassionat treball de reflexió i crítica a partir del qual i per camins sovint estranys i tortuosos han pogut néixer algunes de les concepcions sobre l'arquitectura que encara sustentem.
Barcelona : la construcció urbanística d'una capital compacta
Authors: Busquets Grau Joan
Published: July 2023

Barcelona pot considerar-se un prototipus de ciutat mediterrània europea amb una llarga tradició urbanística. Com a tal, ha seguit un procés específic de formació històrica, caracteritzat per la densitat i la compacitat de la forma urbana, l'evolució per extensió més que per reforma, etc. Qualsevol història urbanística inclou necessàriament un resum de l'experiència territorial i urbana, i fa una atenció especial a les dimensions físiques de la ciutat que en condicionen el desenvolupament cultural i econòmic.
Aquest llibre se centra en la construcció de Barcelona, prenent com a base les operacions de planificació i els projectes urbanístics més importants, i nodrint-se de diverses fonts per a les seves diferents fases. El seu desenvolupament urbanístic ha estat molt variat, fins i tot prescindint de les intervencions reials o d'aristòcrates que hi han produït grans avingudes i parcs. L'escala local de molts dels projectes contrasta amb les aspiracions cosmopolites que han convertit algunes d'aquestes intervencions en tan innovadores. Entre elles destaquen els grans projectes que s'han realitzat en ocasió d'esdeveniments molt especials, com l'Exposició Universal de 1888, l'Exposició Internacional d'Indústries Elèctriques de 1929 i els Jocs Olímpics de 1992.
Avui, al segle XXI, s'obren noves perspectives gràcies al nou marc institucional europeu i, particularment, a canvis en el sistema econòmic ara que entrem en una fase postindustrial, en què els mitjans tenen una importància creixent. És difícil determinar-ne les repercussions espacials, però la història de l'urbanisme a Barcelona mostra que ja ha superat les grans contradiccions als darrers segles.
Places porxades a Catalunya

Hi ha espais que són expressió sintètica d'una ciutat, d'un temps, d'una cultura, d'un grup humà. Algunes places -les millors- aconsegueixen transmetre aquesta dimensió. Sovint parlen, de manera precisa i concentrada, de la civilització que les ha construïdes.

Una plaça és un buit, i és precisament l'ús que s'adapta a aquest buit públic el que sovint li dóna sentit i fesomia. És per això que són importants els perímetres que la defineixen, l'arquitectura que en dibuixa els perfils. Hi ha alguns usos, alguns moments, en què la definició d'aquest buit és el tema de màxim compromís urbà.

Leptospirosis caused by the bacterium Leptospira, has been classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a neglected tropical disease with worldwide significance. Leptospirosis in endemic places affects adults more frequently and severely than it affects children. There is a lack of data specifically focusing on children, and it is yet unknown why this discrepancy exists. As the majority of human leptospiral infections are mild or asymptomatic in endemic areas, goal of our study was to describe the prevalence of the Leptospira disease spectrum and the variations in clinical manifestations among patients admitted for febrile illness in a tertiary care facility.

Published: July 2023

This study aimed at studying the suppressive effects of Sorghum bicolor, Tagetes erictus Amaranthus spinous and Sorghum arundinaceum and Cassia tora on germination and development of Parthenium hysteroporus L. under controlled experiments from March 2018 to November 2018 in Arusha Tanzania. Two experiments involving seed-seed interaction and effects of plant extract on carrot-weed were established. Results showed that seeds of S. bicolor, T. erictus A. spinous and S. arundinaceum showed strong inhibition effects (p<0.001) on Parthenium hysteroporus L. seed germination, biomass, plant height and root length. Similarly, the results from the plant extracts at 25% to 100% (v/v) concentration of A. Indica, T. erictus, A. spinous and S. bicolor inhibited germination rate, shoot and root length elongation, fresh and dry biomass of Parthenium weed. These findings provides basis towards developing an effective alternative eco-friendly approach and bio-herbicide for managing Parthenium weed in Tanzania.

Published: July 2023

A study was conducted at Kikwe ward in Arumeru District of Arusha region to assess the effects of Cupressus lusitanica, Tephrosia vogelii, Eucalpytus dalrympleana, Lantana camara and Azadirachta indica in managing destructive termite species. Termite samples were collected from maize farms and trees within the ward and were identified at the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute. Different rates of powders weighing 5g, 10g and 20g of each botanical per 5 kg of termite infested soils were tested for their effects on termite mortality and repellency in the laboratory using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. In field trials, a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications was used in three different sites within the ward. Following laboratory studies, 20g of leaf powder from each treatment was applied around maize plants and monitored for every 14 days. The results showed that, there were five morphologically different termite species in the study area, two of which were identified as Macrotermes and Odontotermes and the rest were not identified based on the available capacity. The results also showed that, powders from T. vogelii, C. lusitanica and E. dalrympleana were effective in managing termites and significant different (p<0.001) from other plants. Such results highlight potentiality of developing bio-termiticides from T. vogelii, C. lusitanica and E. dalrympleana in the country. Further studies are recommended on characterizing termite species that were not identified in this study and on identification of chemical ingredients from the identified effective plants for formulation of bio-termiticides in Tanzania.

TSS (Total Suspended Solid) is an optical turbidity parameter to assess water quality and provide essential information for the water environment. Particularly, the degradation of watersheds creates immense pressure on water quality, especially in arid and semiarid regions. However, concentrations of TTS in water are also due to the effects of pollution, and activities on the surface. Therefore, factual information regarding determining the effective depth of TSS is essential for the estimation of the water column. To address this problem, we collected 100 water samples from 10 different sites of the wells at Medokan Ayu District, Surabaya (Indonesia). To investigate the TSS concentrations. The results showed that the quality of well water for the turbidity parameter did not exceed the standard of clean water quality, where the highest value was found in well 7: 17.97 NTU, for the Manganese parameter in wells that exceeded the quality standard, it was found in Well 2: 1.4 mg/L. , well 5: 1.7 mg/L, well 6: 1.8 mg/L, well 7 : 8.6 mg/L and well 9: 4.3 mg/L. Well TSS parameters that exceed quality standards are found at Well 1: 1,200 mg/L, Well 3: 1,200 mg/L, Well 5: 800 mg/L, Well 6: 1,600 mg/L, Well 7: 1,600 mg/L, Well 8 : 1,200 mg/L, Well 9 : 1,200 mg/L, and Well 10 : 1,200 mg/L. The pattern of distribution of pollution levels using surfer software mapping, three wells have the highest concentrations of Manganese, TSS, and Turbidity found in wells number 6, 7, and 9.
Is the consumption time of honey important to preserve its quality?

The aroma and taste of honey are very important quality characteristics. However, the objective measurement of changes in aroma and flavor is more difficult because a large number of different substances (alcohols, aldehydes, organic acids and esters) that contribute to them are unstable components and evaporate easily at temperatures above 35˚C. The aim of this study was qualitative evaluation of 9 organic honey samples preserved for two years in different conditions. To determine their quality, sensorial and HMF analyses were performed at the University Honey Laboratory. HMF was determined using the Harmonised Methods of the International Honey Commission. The analyses were made on 9 freshly extracted honey samples and after two years these analyses were repeated for the same samples stored at 22°C and 30°C. Results showed that storage at 22°C caused slight increase in HMF values, reduction of aroma and taste and also slight darkening of the color. However, storage at 30°C shows that 7 of the 9 analyzed samples differed significantly in aroma and taste with the same fresh samples. High temperature had caused almost total elimination of aroma, taste and darkness to all samples. This may have come by evaporation of important organic elements in the composition of honey thus influencing his qualities and darkening of it. Related to HMF, results show that storage of honeys at 30°C for more than two years increases the amount of HMF by exceeding the allowed limit (40 mg/Kg). The values of HMF for fresh honey samples ranged between 0.484-8.938 mg/kg, this ensures that honey is fresh and has not been overheated during processing. For the same preserved honey samples at 30°C the values of HMF ranged between 23.19-47.2 mg/kg, this ensures that honey storage for more than 2 years will have impact on addition of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) due to the large evaporation of fructose. As can be seen from the above results, changes in aroma and taste, in addition to simple loss by evaporation, are also made by heat. HMF content of honey samples has been affected significantly from storage time and conditions. Careless storage of honey could affect its quality, thus by consuming the honey within a year and by providing proper storage conditions, all quality criteria remain consistent.

Numerical Comparison of Active Shielding Techniques for Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia Application
Authors: Küçükdermenci Serhat
Published: July 2023

This study aims to eliminate magnetic field leakage at 100 kHz with active shielding in Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH) system. First of all, the structural and operational features of the MFH system were analyzed. Then, the active regions of the coils were determined, graphical results were obtained and the designs were compared with each other. We first simulated the magnetic field distribution of a circular coil active shielding system by the commercial software tool COMSOL Multiphysics. Secondly, a single D-shape shielding was configured in the MFH system and the size and location of the shielding were examined. The magnetic field attenuation percentages of the methods in the x, y, z axes and the target region selected as the representative tumor region were compared. The simulation results show that the shielding ability of the double D-shape shielding type is better in the x and y axes than the other coil types (51.43% for the x-axis and 95.77% for the y-axis). The fact that the attenuation percentage of this shielding type in the target region is 0.0287% is a secondary advantage. It has been observed that the attenuation in the z-axis is higher in other shielding types, but the attenuation percentage in the target region also increases.
