Published: February 2023

Introduction Acute fever without source (FWS) in children is retained after a detailed history and a complete physical examination, in a febrile child and who was previously healthy. This is a common condition that may be the first sign of an invasive infection. The objective of this work is to study the epidemiological, clinical, biological and evolutionary profiles of the FWS and the evaluation of their management.

Materials and methods Prospective study carried out from 01 January to 31 April 2015 in the Pediatric Medical Emergency Department of the Rabat Children's Hospital and focused on 130 infants and children between 3 and 36 months who had consulted for FWS.

Results Children had an average age of 13.5 months. A female predominance was noted (sex ratio at 0.71). The fever was isolated in 57.7% of the cases, the associated signs were dominated by digestive signs (30%) and general signs (12.3%). FWS etiologies were dominated by: viral infections (59.2%), acute pyelonephritis (39.2%), and 2 cases of viral meningitis (1.5%). The evolution was favorable for all our patients.

Conclusion In our context, viral infections are the main etiology of FWS. Bacterial infections are dominated by acute pyelonephritis. A well-conducted initial clinical assessment, combined with a biological check-up, permits ambulatory care, and allows the detection of patients at high risk of severe infection requiring hospital inpatient care.

Published: February 2023

Climate change  have a considerable impact on crop water demand (ETc). The  present study analyzed the spatio-temporal variation of the crop water requirement (ETc), crop water surplus deficit index (CWSDI), and the coupling degree of ETc and effective precipitation (Pe) for maize (Zea mays L.) crop  grown in  Haryana State of India using ArcMap 10.8 software. ETc was calculated using the Penman-Monteith method and crop coefficient (Kc) approach for 34 years (1985-2018) climatic data. Two statistical models, namely Mann–Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator, were applied to understand the trend, while Pettitt's test was used to identify abrupt change points by using XLSTAT 2021 software.The result showed that for maize ETc ranged from 571 to 766 mm, CWSDI ranged from -29 to -74% and the degree of coupling of ETc and Pe ranged from 0.26 to 0.71 during 1985-2018. The decadal temporal variation of these indices indicated that ETc during 2007-2018 was relatively higher than it was from 1985-1995 and 1996-2006. The spatio-temporal values of CWSDI indicated that almost all the districts were under water deficit conditions for growing maize crop.Trend analysis showed significantly increasing trend of  CWR for most  of the districts except Jind, Mewat, Palwal, Panchkula, Rewari, Rohtak  and Yamunanagar.The abrupt change point detection analysis of CWR indicates toward different change points, with maximum change points between the years 2004–2008.Such information will help to the farmers in the effective management of water for sustainable production under climate change in the near future.
Advances in application of sub-seasonal weather forecast in Indian agriculture
Authors: NABANSU CHATTOPADHYAY
Published: February 2023

Under the climatic variability and climate change, skilful weather forecast in different spatial and temporal scale encourages the farmers to organize and activate their own resources in the best possible way to increase the crop production. Though medium range weather forecast is used extensively in operational agromet advisory services, sub-seasonal forecast provides additional decision-relevant information to support the timing of crop planting, irrigation scheduling, and harvesting, particularly in water-stressed regions. In view of that, dynamical and statistical and sub-seasonal seasonal forecast is generated and delivered to the farmers as climate information services in number of countries in the world. Under the Gramin Krishi Mausam Sewa (GKMS) Project, Agricultural Meteorology Division, India Meteorological Department (IMD) in collaboration with Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, All India Coordinated Research Project on Agrometeorology (AICRPAM), CRIDA, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Hyderabad prepared Agromet Advisory fortnightly taking into consideration realized rainfall during previous fortnight and extended range rainfall forecast for next fortnight and crop information i.e., state and stage of the crops. In the present article agricultural applications of sub-seasonal forecasts on agricultural management in India has been explored. It has been showed how the extended range weather forecast i.e., sub-seasonal forecast has been developed and translated into agromet advisories for the farming communities to increase crop production in India and whether the present state of accuracy could be used for generating advisory under contingent crop planning conditions and other advisories by citing different case studies and ultimately helping the farming communities to improve their economic conditions. It has been demonstrated here that sub-seasonal forecasts are increasingly being used across agriculture in the country. The sub-seasonal forecasting time scale is therefore a new concept for many users. Because of the additional value of sub-seasonal forecasts for decision-making, it is increasingly gaining interest among users. Present case studies clearly suggest the forecast at sub-seasonal time scale is need of the hour.

Land, water, and food resources are essential for human survival, economic development, and social stability. Water and land are the basic resources in irrigated agricultural systems. Sustainable agricultural development entails effective management of the land-water-food nexus. The complex relationship in land-water-food nexus, with large uncertainties encompassed therein. Approaches that interconnect Land-Water-Food have grown significantly in scope and intricacy. In evaluating solutions to accomplish Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under the contexts of rising demands, resource paucity, and climate change, nexus techniques are helpful. The nexus analysis includes the important interlinkages that could be addressed. In the water-food-land nexus system, optimization approach can increase irrigation water production and optimise the allocation of scarce resources. Model optimisation considers the uncertainties in the systems to help decision-makers devise effective strategies for allocating water and land resources effectively. Integrated modelling with efficient optimization methods aid in solving real-world nexus management issues and provides the results that could serve as the basis for effective management of land-water-food nexus and formulation of agricultural policies.

Authors: V. K. DADHWAL  , YAMINI BHAT
Published: February 2023

Use of space-based spectral information with weather inputs for wheat yield modeling by empirical and crop simulation models is reviewed and extended with enhanced spectral modeling approach for districts in central Punjab. The study uses multi-date and multi-year MODIS data at 250m resolution to both identify wheat crop and develop temporal spectral Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) profile for 2001-2019 period. Recently developed high resolution (12km) gridded temperature data from NCMRWF, namely India Monsoon Data Assimilation and Analysis (IMDAA) has been used for computing district-level average of daily (AV) and night-time (NT) temperatures. Multiple linear regression analysis with statistical tests on significance of coefficients for various inputs is used to investigate significance of various input parameters in yield models on multi-district data set. Results identify both area under spectral profile (AS-EVI) and mean peak value (PK-EVI) have significant control on yield. Individual district-level trend based yield (YT) is a significant coefficient in the multi-district models. Model performance is significantly improved by the inclusion of phase-specific temperatures and at specific post-flowering phases the night temperature figured in best models. Significance of the results in development of spatially resolved yields for applications like yield forecast, crop insurance and climate change studies is discussed.

A DÉCADA DA JUDICIALIZAÇÃO POLÍTICA
Authors: De Luna Edson João , Barbosa Luis Felipe Andrade
Published: February 2023

A recente crise de legitimidade do Poder Executivo e os empecilhos enfrentados pelo Poder Legislativo na adequação do texto normativo à fisiologia social impulsionam a expansão do Poder Judiciário. Neste panorama, a legitimidade do processo liga-se às suas motivações e efeitos almejados, com a transferência consciente da responsabilidade do Poder Legislativo para os Órgãos Judiciais ou a usurpação das decisões de outros poderes pelo Judiciário, que causam efeitos deletérios à democracia. O estudo aspira à análise das causas da imiscuição do Poder Judiciário nas decisões relativas a outro Poder, bem como os efeitos trazidos pelo processo de judicialização da política no cenário político e social do país, partindo-se dos pressupostos intensificadores do processo nos últimos anos. Desse modo, a partir do método hipotético-dedutivo e das fontes teóricas, discutem-se os critérios usados nos posicionamentos dos Tribunais Superiores na tomada dessas decisões e as posições dos estudiosos sobre o fenômeno de judicialização da política. O estudo constata a ampliação do processo de judicialização no Brasil nos últimos anos, comprovando-se a ocupação paulatina dos espaços do Legislativo e Executivo pelo Judiciário, verifica-se que a forma mais acentuada do fenômeno ocorre através das decisões trazidas ao Poder Judiciário por um terceiro legitimado, através do controle de constitucionalidade. A atividade jurisdicional produz decisões vinculantes capazes de assegurar e efetivar os direitos fundamentais e a própria Constituição Federal, uma vez que sua atuação chame para si a competência de outro poder, diante da falha deste, iluminando-se a aplicação do Direito e efetivando direitos fundamentais ora sedimentados. Em tais casos, observadas determinadas condições, não há que se falar em violação ao Princípio da Separação dos Poderes, nem à Segurança Jurídica, a partir do pressuposto que a maior finalidade do direito é a sua concretização.

Published: February 2023

This paper aims to identify the socioeconomic, demographic, and clinical factors associated with COVID-19 deaths in Brazil using information from municipal and individual databases. The data was extracted from the IBGE, the Ministry of Tourism for municipalities, and the Ministry of Health for individuals, with a particular focus on the period from January 1, 2020, to May 31, 2022. Data analysis was performed based on the estimation of odds ratios through logistic regression. The results show that the probability of the death of individuals who were hospitalized by COVID-19 is greater for those living in cities with low GDP per capita, high illiteracy rates, and a high percentage of extreme poverty. In addition, individuals over 60 years old, males, racial minorities, and illiterates were more likely to die from COVID-19. This study provides evidence that the effects of COVID-19 can be alleviated by improving socioeconomic conditions.

Published: February 2023

Education is essential for the country. But unfortunately, the learning outcomes in Indonesia are still unsatisfactory. Therefore, it is necessary to have a suitable and appropriate learning method to improve student learning outcomes. This study aims to see how implementing Student Ability-Based Learning (SABL) can improve student learning outcomes at school. This research will be carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data used in this study comes from various research results that still have relevance to the content of the research. The results of this study then found that SABL was able to provide the potential for students to improve their learning outcomes. This is because, in this learning model, students become more active in the learning process. Then this method also helps develop students’ abilities in their daily lives. However, implementing the SABL learning model still has various obstacles, such as the teacher’s lack of understanding and skills in implementing the SABL method.

Who is the Thief? Sara Lidman in Postcolonial Kenya

Sara Lidman wrote her second autobiographical African novel, Med fem diamanter, during a prolonged sojourn in Kenya (1962–1963) where she first lived in Kisumu, in the Nyanza province, near Lake Victoria, before moving to Njeri in Gikuyland. She was accompanied by Wambui Njonjo, the country's first school inspector. The Njonjo family was close to the Kenyattas. The question in the title of the essay, “Who is the Thief? Sara Lidman in Postcolonial Kenya?”, points at the post-colonial threshold dilemma of Kenyans being both perpatrators and victims of their own fate, freed from the colonial bonds but reintroduced to economic forms of western dependence. I examine two aspects of her allegorical chronicling of Kenya 1958–1963 and the symbolic killing of Thiongo, the homosexual, by his brother Wachira, the boy pining in the servitude of both Gikuyu patriarchy and the greed of western capitalism. The two aspects relate to the dynamics and ambivalence of power. In the first section I demonstrate how ‘stealing’ – both as an act of aggression and one of liberation – is manifested in cultural and linguistic artefacts, in the textures of women's kangas, in a Luo legend, in Christian mission. As a postcolonial writer Lidman is unique for her time in transliterating and contextualizing (not translating) Gikuyu and Kiswahili words, proverbs and stories. In the second section I examine how ‘love’ or the idealization of ‘love’, heterosexual and homosexual, deteriorates under the pressure of ‘thieving’. In Lidman's ideal world androgynity is central. Med fem diamanter is a Kenyan novel written in Swedish.

Myocardial Strain to Predict Mid-term Mortality and Re-hospitalization in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction
Authors: Nguyen Thi Thu Hoai , Pham Viet Tuan , Tran Lan Ngoc , Ngo Huong Thi , Luu Dao Bich , Hoang Hoa Thi
Published: February 2023

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a severe clinical syndrome caused by diversed etiologies. Classically left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) has been used as a diagnostic marker as well as to subdivide HF into 3 groups (HFpEF, HFmEF and HFrEF). However, the prognostic value of this index is not consistent in comparison to LV strain (GLS, GCS) which are not only able to detect heart failure at a very early stage (precede to EF change) but also to predict the primary outcome including HF readmission and death. The prognostic role of LV strain is independent and incremental to conventional echocardiographic parameters.

Methods: 67 patients diagnosed with chronic HFrEF (EF < 40%) in Vietnam National Heart Institute were consecutively enrolled in our study from January 2016 to September 2016. Clinical data were comprehensively evaluated and conventional echocardiographic parameters and two LV strain indices (GLS & GCS) were measured using speckle-tracking. All patients were followed-up for all-cause 12-month readmission or death after discharge. The relation between echocardiographic parameters and clinical events was analyzed in Cox proportional hazard model.

Results: GLS had a prognostic value of composite events after being adjusted with age, sex, heart rate, SBP, DBP, NT-ProBNP, renal clearance, LVEF and LVDd. GLS (cut-off = -7.5%; AUC = 0.738; p = 0.003) was a stronger predictor of composite event compared to LVEF (AUC= 0.66, p = 0.042) LVDd (AUC = 0.637; p = 0.025), LA diameter (AUC = 0.614, p = 0.03), NT-ProBNP (AUC = 0.663; p = 0.04) and hs-Troponin T (AUC = 0.592; p = 0.039).

Conclusion:  Global longitudinal strain is and strong and independent predictor of readmission and death in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Analyzing Out-of-Domain Generalization Performance of Pre-Trained Segmentation Models
Authors: Zhong Johnson
Published: February 2023

Artists illustrate objects to various degrees of complexity. As the amount of detail or the similarity to reality of a depiction decreases, the object tends to be reduced to its simplest, most relevant higher-level features (Harrison, 1981). One of the reasons Deep Neural Networks (DNN) may fail to identify objects in an image is that models are unable to recognize the order of importance of features such as shape, depth, or color within an image, which means even the most minute distortions of pixels within an image that would be imperceptible to humans would greatly impact the performance of the object detection models (Eykholt et al., 2018). However, by training DNN on artworks where the most prominent features defining specific objects are emphasized, perhaps a model can be made to be more resilient against small-scale changes in an image. In this paper, the correlation between the level of similarity to reality of images and artworks of an object and the accuracy of object detection models is investigated to test the ability of object detection models in identifying the most salient features of a particular object. The results of this report can help outline the efficacy of models only trained on real images in identifying increasingly abstract artworks that have simplified an object to its most prominent features. The experiment shows that the accuracies of models decrease as the images or illustrations provided become more abstract or simplified, which suggests the higher level features that identify a particular object are different in object detection models and humans.

Introdução: Dados brasileiros mostraram que 37,9% das mulheres foram vítimas de violência sexual em 2021, sem que o isolamento social imposto pela quarentena durante a COVID 19 tenha influenciado essa estatística, evidenciando que a violência é problema de saúde pública de grandes proporções e altamente prevalente na nossa sociedade. O atendimento emergencial à vítima de violência sexual é obrigatório nos hospitais da rede SUS, cabendo a todos os profissionais de saúde conhecerem quais os procedimentos devem ser adotados. Objetivo: Esse estudo teve como propósito mostrar de forma esquematizada, as condutas éticas e médico-legais a serem adotadas pelo médico diante do atendimento à vítima de violência sexual do sexo feminino. Materiais e métodos: Foi realizada revisão narrativa de literatura na base de dados Scielo aplicando os descritores: violência sexual; acolhimento; atendimento; mulheres. Também foi acessada as normas da Federação Brasileira das Associações de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia e realizada busca nas bases legais vigentes no Brasil quanto ao atendimento médico às vítimas de violência sexual. Resultados: O atendimento à vítima de violência é considerado emergencial, independentemente do tempo entre o evento e o atendimento, começando na admissão da vítima ao serviço médico, passando para as etapas de acolhimento, de privacidade e de respeito. Os cuidados no atendimento visam, sobretudo, não revitimizar a mulher. O médico deve realizar as notificações aos órgãos determinados pela legislação vigente, no tempo específico e adotar as medidas psicossociais cabíveis. As medidas legais podem variar de acordo com a idade e ou vulnerabilidade da vítima e não excluem o tratamento assistencial (preventivo, profilático e terapêutico) necessário. O atendimento médico assistencial não está consignado à representação do crime pela mulher, mas, o médico deve saber que se trata de crime de ação pública incondicionada e deve proceder de forma adequada. Conclusão: Os médicos devem conhecer detalhadamente todos os aspectos envolvidos no atendimento de vítimas de violência sexual, não se limitando apenas aos cuidados físicos. O desconhecimento das normas éticas e legais podem responsabilizar o médico por má prática técnica devido à ação culposa, no caso negligência, não cabendo a escusa de desconhecimento das normas. Palavras-chave: violência sexual; acolhimento; atendimento; mulheres.

Introdução: A exposição alcoólica pré-natal (E.P.A.) é considerada uma das principais responsáveis pelas alterações congênitas humanas. No sistema cardiovascular, a E.P.A. pode levar a alterações na expressão de genes relacionados à homeostase cardiovascular. Estudos têm mostrado que miócitos cardíacos expostos ao etanol durante a embriogênese não amadurecem morfológica ou funcionalmente, bem como apresentam alterações no transporte e captação/ligação de Ca2+ pelo retículo sarcoplasmático (SR). Uma diminuição da concentração citosólica de Ca2+ resultante do um efeito inibitório do álcool nas proteínas reguladoras desse íon pode resultar em diminuição do volume sistólico e alterações na frequência cardíaca. Objetivo: Analisar o impacto da E.P.A. na ativação da via de transdução de sinal da cinética do cálcio pela análise da expressão de RNA mensageiro de componentes desta via. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética no Uso de Animais (CEUA = 9355120319 ID 000115). Foram utilizados camundongos isogênicos da linhagem C57Bl/6. As fêmeas progenitoras foram separadas e randomizadas no grupo controle (n=4) e no grupo de exposição ao álcool (n=11). O protocolo do grupo E.P.A. durante a gestação, foi a exposição do álcool na proporção de 10% (v/v) diluídos em água de consumo. Após 45 dias, 10 filhotes de cada grupo (n=20) foram anestesiados com isoflurano (<20 seg.) e decapitados. O ventrículo esquerdo (VE) foi coletado e tratado. A expressão relativa foi obtida por técnica RT-qPCR utilizando placas customizadas TaqMan®, sendo utilizado como controle endógeno o gene rRNA 18S. A estatística foi calculada com a aplicação IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp., 2017); A normalidade foi testada através do teste de Shapiro-Wilk e os dados representados por média ± EPM. Comparação entre grupos: Teste T para amostras independentes sendo considerado o valor de significância p ≤0,05. Resultados: No grupo E.P.A, houve redução de 65,51% (p<0,001) e 60,17% (p<0,001) na expressão dos genes Calsequestrina 2 (Casq2) e Família de trocadores de soluto (Na-Ca) 8, membro A1 (Slc8a1), respectivamente, quando comparados ao grupo Controle. Por sua vez, o grupo E.P.A. apresentou aumento de 254,86% (p<0,001), 231,70% (p<0,001) e 183,37% (p<0,001) na expressão dos genes ATPase, transporte de Ca ++, músculo cardíaco, contração lenta 2 (Atp2a2), Receptor 2 de Rianodina, Cardíaco (RyR-2) e Fosfolamban (Pln) nessa ordem, quando comparado ao grupo Controle. Conclusão: Concluímos que a agressão mediada pelo álcool no miocárdio pode modular a via de cinética de cálcio. Estes resultados indicam que o insulto gerado pelo álcool, por meio de EPA e dependendo da concentração e/ou duração do estímulo, pode comprometer a expressão proteica de componentes da cinética do cálcio em favor de uma disfunção cardíaca.

Introdução: A ventilação não invasiva é utilizada em pacientes pediátricos em unidade de terapia intensiva por ser eficaz para o tratamento de insuficiência respiratória relacionada a doenças respiratórias. No entanto, há uma grande taxa de falha em decorrência da inquietação. Diante disso, a dexmedetomidina, agonista α2-adrenérgico, é utilizada como agente de sedação primário ou no período peri-extubação por apresentar melhores resultados na sedação em comparação com os demais sedativos. Os efeitos adversos mais frequentes descritos são hipotensão e bradicardia. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão sistemática de estudos observacionais em pacientes pediátricos durante a ventilação mecânica não invasiva fazendo uso de dexmedetomidina, bem como seu mecanismo de ação, benefícios, efeitos adversos e suas indicações. Métodos: Levantamento sistemático de artigos publicados na literatura, que consiste em uma lista de verificação contendo 27 itens e um fluxograma de quatro fases. Não foi limitado período ou ano, a fim de analisar criticamente os principais elementos relacionados à interação entre o medicamento dexmedetomidina, população pediátrica e o uso de ventilação mecânica não invasiva. Os critérios para seleção dos estudos incluíram a interação entre o medicamento dexmedetomidina e o uso de ventilação mecânica não invasiva na população pediátrica (0 a 18 anos). Resultados: O emprego da dexmedetomidina em pacientes pediátricos com ventilação não invasiva apresentou-se de forma positiva após a extubação por não causar depressão do sistema ventilatório e também uma eficácia significativa nos pacientes que apresentaram agitação durante a ventilação não invasiva. No entanto, o uso da dexmedetomidina como sedativo na ventilação não invasiva teve como efeitos adversos hemodinâmicos a bradicardia e hipertensão, além dos sinais de abstinência, os quais foram relatados após retirada da droga. Sendo assim, esse agonista do receptor alfa-2 tem sido utilizado como medicamento de escolha para sedação com ênfase em pacientes pediátricos devido à ausência de efeito depressor respiratório, a adequada ação sedativa e analgésica e por apresentar efeitos antiarrítmicos favoráveis. Conclusão: Os resultados dos estudos observacionais mostraram a dexmedetomidina de forma positiva em pacientes pediátricos com ventilação não invasiva após extubação, apesar de poder apresentar efeitos adversos como bradicardia e hipertensão. Palavras-chave: dexmedetomidina, ventilação não invasiva, criança, unidade de terapia intensiva.
Nicolas Castaño, O.P., (1773-1840): Architect, Engineer, Author, Missionary to Batanes
Authors: Hornedo Florentino
Published: February 2023

The pioneer Dominican missionaries were harbingers of the Word and civilization. Evangelization was the drama of the Incarnation in which lives of people were transformed by the preaching of the Word of God and the refashioning of the physical world to sacramentalize the arrival of the Kingdom of God in various forms of reordering and reorganizing of Nature and social life. It took nearly a century (1686-1783), and many precious lives, before Dominicans finally established a permanent foothold in 1783, on the Batanes islands which lie at the northern tip of the Philippine archipelago. In 1798, a 25 year-old youth, newly ordained priest, (probably) an alumnus of the University of Santo Tomas, arrived in Batanes: Fray Padre Nicolas Castaño, OP. He came to stay for 26 years of his life. He was, by all indications of the records and his activities, an assiduous and good learner of the indigenous culture. He picked up the study of the Ivatan language from where his predecessors left it and carried it on, to be passed on the next generation of Dominican missionaries; and seeing the need for handy catechetical tool, he used his knowledge of the language to write a Catechism of Christian Doctrine (whose manuscript he probably used in preaching), and later prepared for printing—which became the first printed Ivatan text. But while he preached the Word, he, in due time, saw the need to announce the majesty of God in Baroque architecture—the preferred art style used by the Tridentine counter reformation to proclaim the gospel to a largely unlettered world. Father Nicolas built what today continues to be the grandest church facade in the Batanes, and which served as the model and inspiration of all the other later Ivatan churches. He built bridges to ensure that the new Christians had no excuse to miss masses and catechetical instruction on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. He was concerned about the convenience and efficiency of local government officials. So he built decent government buildings for them near the churches. By getting the Ivatan people to work with him, they learned in turn how to build homes which have remained typhoon-proof to this day. To make social life more efficient in the new lowland settlements, especially Ivana which in his time was the centre of three tribal communities (Ivana, Itbud/Uyugan, and Sabtang), he arranged streets and roads to facilitate the development of better community spirit—for his vision was certainly ecclesial: communitarian.

King-chilli (Capsicum spp) is a high value spice crop of the North Eastern India. Although crop is having a great demand in national and international market due to its richness in capsaicin and oleoresin contents, however, it is grown in some pockets of the region on small scale due to specific climatic requirement, poor seed germination and traditional cultivation practices. Keeping these in view, the present investigation was undertaken to study the storage life, effect of temperature and pre-sowing seed treatment on germination behaviour and maturity indices of the crop for seed purpose. The results indicated that seeds of King-chilli remain viable and can be stored up to one year. The maximum seed germination (69.67%) was recorded at first month of the storage and then gradually decreased with increase in storage period with least (0.33%) at the 18 months after storage. The optimum temperature for seed germination was 25-30°C. The synchronous, higher germination (65.67%) and vigorous seedling (1477.58) can be raised by pre-sowing seed treatment with KNO3 (5%) for 24 hr. The seeds of dried pod had shown highest germination (68.77%) and seedling vigour (611.37) when the pods are harvested at fully developed yellow stage. However, seed from red ripe fresh pods with 7 days resting period was found ideal for higher germination and vigour over the seeds from the dried pods. Hence, commercial growers can store the seeds of King-chilli for one year and raise vigour seedlings with maximum germination by pre-sowing seed treatment with KNO3 (5%).

Kinnow (Citrus nobilis Lour × Citrus deliciosa Tenora) acceptability by consumer and processors depends on their bright orange colour, size and other quality traits like TSS and acidity. More bright orange coloured Kinnow fruits are preferred. The objective of this study is to propose an index for growers and researchers to know the harvesting date and better quality of fruits respectively. Kinnow fruits of varying colour gradient were harvested from ten treatments. These ten treatments were different doses of N: P: K. They acted as a source to produce variability in Kinnow peel colour, which was utilized for index formulation and validation. They were compared with a standard. Standard comprised of most uniform bright orange coloured fruits of Kinnow orange. The observations for L, a and b were recorded by Hunterlab. There were total eleven colour indexes studied. Out of eleven indexes, seven were previously validated by other workers for different fruit crops. Four indexes were formulated in this study to validate them for Kinnow along with remaining seven indexes. Index a/b showed highest positive correlation with total carotenoid content of peel (0.548 and 0.519 respectively). It recorded minimum value for standard (0.52±0.02) indicates that lower values for these indices will represent brighter colour of kinnow.
Teenager with leprosy and self-stigma: The role of education
Authors: Campos Marco Antonio Pedrosa
Published: February 2023

Based on the context, established by the high number of leprosy diagnoses among children and adolescents, the serious Brazilian public health scenario related to the disease, and the campaign "Towards Zero Leprosy", part of the UN 2030 Agenda, this work aims to contribute for the development of strategies aimed at intervening in the stigmatization of adolescents by the disease through the development of socio-emotional skills faced with questions of self-esteem and self-image of adolescents affected by leprosy. This research has an inductive approach, of a basic nature and exploratory objective through a bibliographic review and analysis of secondary data, to contextualize the theme, and build a theoretical framework in the state of knowledge. Based on the knowledge produced by Garcia et al (2003), Cruz (2013), Pontes and Ximenes Neto (2005), Colli (1968), and Kauffman, Marian, and Neville (1982), this work is based on the notions of impact of leprosy stigma in adolescents, mainly concerning self-image and self-stigma. As result, data perspectives and strategic actions foreseen in the documents in the national fight against leprosy were placed, discussing the role of education in the Specific Objective 1 of the third pillar of the National Strategy. Considering the Leprosy Epidemiological Bulletin 2022 and the National Strategy to Combat Leprosy 2019-2022, it is understood that it is the role of education to collaborate so that adolescents affected by the disease understand the concepts of stigma and incidence and critically reflect to deconstruct them.

Introduction: In the covid-19 pandemic, health services began to reorganize and offer telehealth assistance modalities. The Cognitive Rehabilitation Service has been restructured to receive new patients. There was a need to develop an evaluative resource for remote patient screening. Objectives: To adapt the cognitive screening instrument Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to an informal oral interview script useful in call centers. Methods: Adaptation of the 11 domains of the MMSE that were converted into informal questions, eliminating the need to apply it according to routine methodological rigor. We opted for colloquial oral language, necessary for the referred telemarketing, making it easier to screen patients using technological resources incorporated from mobile phones and videoconferences. Results: An interview script was developed with 38 questions equivalent to the MMSE. Conclusion: Facing social isolation, due to the restriction of social participation to the homes of professionals and patients, provided an opportunity to innovate actions and care structures in Cognitive Rehabilitation. An adapted instrument was proposed, capable of allowing the continuity of actions, appropriate to the establishment of Telehealth, during the current pandemic.
Justice As A Common Good: Socrates Against The Sophists And The Theoretical-Political Contributions To The Field Of Law
Authors: Antunes Jair , Prado Anderson , Caciano Angela
Published: February 2023

This text discusses the foundations of democracy in ancient Greece. Classical Antiq-uity was the birthplace of politics as a form of consensus determined from the ration-alizing dialogue of public life. There, on the one hand, we have the Platonic philoso-phy defending ethical values based on universal principles, such as the value of the common good. On the other hand, there are the sophists, who argue that values are always particular and are expressions of power, as asserted by the sophists Thra-symachus or Protagoras. Socrates, on the contrary, affirms that ethics is a universal good, and can be learned and theorized by all men, even slaves, who can raise themselves morally. In this text, we will base ourselves on Plato's analysis expressed in The Republic on the concept of Justice (Dikê), where he argues with the sophists about its value and scope in the life of the polis and the relations between citizens.

Authors: Zeni Alessandro Severino Valler , Paixão Julia Maria Pires , Silva Lucas Daniel Velasco da
Published: February 2023

The evolution of communication technologies has advanced the adoption of teleworking by employers in Brazil in recent years. The article analyzes the vulnerability of teleworkers to strenuous journeys without compensation and hyperconnection. The objective is to verify the impacts suffered by teleworkers due to the non-coverage of the remote worker in the control of the working day, since the work hours often also come within the worker's rest period, causing physical and psychic impacts. It seeks to clarify aspects relating to the right to disconnect from work. The methodology for the research will be dialectical and descriptive of a bibliographic source using contributions from the doctrine, scientific articles, and articulations with legal provisions.
