Dioscorea Alata Extract as Anti-Cancer Agent by Regulating Genetic Mutations, Apoptosis, and Cell Proliferation: In Vitro and in Silico Studies
Authors: Makiyah Sri Nabawiyati Nurul , Christina Yuyun Ika , Ahkam Ahmad Hafidul
Published: December 2023

Dioscorea alata (DA) tubers contain some compounds of potential anti-cancer agents. However, despite its potential, there has been limited investigation on the potential anti-cancer agent of DA, especially in breast cancer cells. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the anti-cancer effect of ethanolic extract of DA tubers against the MCF-7 cell lines in vitro and in silico. The in vitro study was carried out by cytotoxicity effect using MTT assay. The in silico study examined active ingredients, determined anti-cancer activity, analyzed the protein target, protein-protein interactions, and molecular docking. The study results showed that the high-concentration ethanolic extract of DA tubers exhibited the highest decrease in MCF-7 cell viability with an IC50 value of 50.98 g/mL and can be categorized as a promising anti-cancer agent. As many as 34 active compounds belonging to anthocyanins, saponins, and flavonoids were screened. Active compounds of DA tubers with a violation score < 2 were analyzed for their biological potentials. Ten compounds of DA with the highest potency were selected for docking analysis with the targeted protein EGFR. The in-silico study showed that 21 bioactive compounds contribute to the anti-cancer activity of DA. Chlorogenic acid is the most promising bioactive compound as an anti-cancer since it is the most similar to the anti-cancer drug. Meanwhile, dihydroquercetin has a low binding affinity value, requiring less energy to bind to proteins in cancer signaling indicated that this compound is promising as anti-cancer. This study suggested that the ethanolic extract of DA tubers can be considered an anti-cancer agent against the MCF-7 cell line in vitro by regulating genetic mutations, apoptosis, and cell proliferation.

Published: December 2023

Recycled carbon black (rCB) produced by pyrolysis has a low value because it contains high levels of impurities, such as sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Various treatments have been proposed using chemicals to purify and improve the properties of rCB. In this study, rCB was treated with toluene (rCB-T), followed by subsequent treatment using acids HCl (rCB-T-HCl), HNO3 (rCB-T-HNO3), and HCl-HNO3 (rCB-T-HCl-HNO3). The treated rCB samples were characterized using CHNS analyser, scanning electron microscope, BET analyser, zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The adsorption of methylene blue dye onto the rCB samples was also investigated to study the effectiveness of the treatments. Treatment with toluene alone was insufficient to increase the carbon content and surface area of the rCB. Subsequent treatment of rCB with acids, especially HNO3, significantly increases the carbon content, surface area, surface functional groups, and surface charge of the rCB. This results in an increased adsorption capacity of the rCB, from 6.04 mg/g to 46.51 mg/g for the rCB-HNO3 and 54.80 mg/g for the rCB-T-HCl-HNO3.

Published: December 2023

Waste bovine bones can be used as a source to produce hydroxyapatite (HAp), which is a good organic adsorbent and used as a support material for metal oxide photocatalysts. In this work, HAp powders were prepared from calcination of bovine bones at 900 °C for 2 h and used as supporting material for a TiO2 photocatalyst incorporating CuO. The hexagonal HAp particles were characterized using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The 50 wt% TiO2 and 1 wt% CuO/TiO2 supported on HAp photocatalysts were synthesized by the co-precipitation method and finally calcined at 450 °C for 4 h. The synthesized HAp and catalysts were characterized by FTIR, XRD, BET surface area analysis, SEM, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized catalysts was performed by photoreforming of glycerol at room temperature using 100 mL of 0.5 M glycerol solution under nitrogen atmosphere, irradiating with low-light intensity 20 W Mercury UV lamp for 7 h. The gaseous products catalyzed by the synthesized catalysts were analyzed using a gas chromatograph. The maximum hydrogen gas production from photoreforming of glycerol at this condition was obtained at 513.7 mmol gcat–1 without carbon dioxide detection after catalyzing by CuO/TiO2/HAp catalyst.
Study on Displaced Orbits Below the Moon’s South Pole Near L2 Point Based on Solar Sail
Authors: Yu W. , Starinova O. L.
Published: December 2023

This work explores displaced orbits of solar sails below the Moon’s south pole, near the L2 libration point in the Earth-Moon system. Light pressure provides acceleration for displaced orbits. These orbits enable continuous communication and observation of the Moon’s south polar region, where a lunar base is planned. Linearized dynamic equations yield analytical solutions of displaced orbits, which are either quasi-periodic or periodic. Quasi-periodic orbits have varying altitudes of hundreds of kilometers and a period of about a year, while periodic orbits have fixed altitudes аnd the same period. A sliding mode controller maintains the orbits using sail attitude angles and reflectivity as control variables. With a reflective area to mass ratio of 18 m2/kg, the displaced heights of quasiperiodic and periodic orbits near L2 are 2010.38 km and 2210.06 km, respectively. Numerical simulations confirm the controller’s effectiveness for both orbit types

Published: December 2023

Despite the fact that significant progress has been made in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, and basic drugs (methotrexate, sulfosalazine, etc.) are widely used, as well as various genetically engineered drugs that make it possible to achieve remission of the disease, glucocorticoid hormones continue to be one of the means of treating the disease, because they allow to achieve a sufficiently rapid decrease in the activity of the disease, as well as in the presence of systemic manifestations. Their use allows to reduce inflammatory activity, to stop the symptoms of inflammation and thereby to ease the condition of patients. The authors have established a different degree of sensitivity to various glucocorticoids, which must be taken into account during treatment.

Use of Agro-Industrial Waste from The Cereal Sector to Obtain Cellulose
Authors: Carlos Jacome  , Jessenia Barragán  , Karolina Cevallos  , Dayanara Flores  , Marcelo García
Published: December 2023

The agro-industrial grain industry generates a large amount of waste, which is often discarded, leading to environmental problems and the potential loss of valuable resources. However, in recent years an innovative approach has emerged that aims to use this waste to obtain cellulose, a compound with several industrial applications. The process of extracting cellulose from agro-industrial by-products of the food industry involves stages such as harvesting and milling, followed by a chemical and/or enzymatic treatment to obtain pure cellulose. Dependence on primary sources of pulp such as wood is reduced, thus contributing to the conservation of forests and natural ecosystems. In addition, the use of agro-industrial waste for pulp production reduces the amount of waste burned or poorly discarded, thus minimizing the environmental impacts associated with its disposal. Inadequate, in addition to the environmental benefits, the use of agro-industrial waste to obtain cellulose can also generate economic opportunities for many families who can use this medium to grow economically..

The quality of reporting practice guidelines is often poor, and there is no widely accepted ­guidance or standards for such reporting in health care. The international RIGHT (Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare) Working Group was established to address this gap. The group followed an existing framework for developing guidelines for health research reporting and the EQUATOR (Enhancing the ­QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) Network approach. It developed a checklist and an explanation and elaboration statement. The RIGHT checklist includes 22items that are considered essential for good repor­ting of practice guidelines: basic information (items1 to 4), background (items5 to 9), evidence (items10 to 12), recommendations (items13 to 15), review and quality assurance (items16 and 17), funding and declaration and management of interests (items18 and 19), and other information (items20 to 22). The RIGHT checklist can assist developers in reporting guidelines, support journal editors and peer reviewers when considering guideline reports, and help health care practitioners understand and implement a guideline.
Black hole algorithm as a heuristic approach for rare event classification problem
Authors: Yıldırım Elif
Published: December 2023

The logistic regression is generally preferred when there is no big difference in the occurrence frequencies of two possible results for the considered event. However, for the events occurring rarely such as wars, economic crisis and natural disasters, namely having relatively small occurrence frequency when compared to the general events, the logistic regression gives biased parameter estimations. Therefore, the logistic regression underestimates the occurrence probability of the rare events. In this study, black hole algorithm is proposed and used to obtain unbiased estimation parameters for rare events, instead of using the classical logistic regression approach. In order to estimate the logistic regression parameter for the cases dichotomous event groups are rare, we propose a black hole algorithm (BHA) approach. For the samples with different rareness degrees, we obtain the parameter values and their bias and root mean square errors for BHA and logistic regression, and then compare them. Moreover, we also investigate the classification performance of two methods on a real life data. As a result, we obtained that BHA gives less biased estimates in simulation and real-life data compared to logistic regression.
RELIGIOSIDADE TRANSFORMADORA DE PADRE CÍCERO ROMÃO BATISTA
Authors: Ronsi Francilaide
Published: December 2023

As notícias sobre as calúnias e as perseguições que marcaram a vida de padre Cícero Romão Batista nos permitem uma aproximação do quanto ele sofreu. Entretanto, essa realidade também ressalta a resiliência, a determinação e a coragem, ou seja, a parresia com que ele enfrentou tantos desafios. Nesse sentido, identificamos que a sua experiência de fé o sustentou na fidelidade evangélica, traduzindo-se em uma religiosidade que suscitou esperança, consolação, confiança e a transformação social para aquela região. E, em meio a tantas dificuldades impostas pela seca, fome, desemprego e pela falta de escolas para as crianças e os jovens, a criatividade e a ousada coragem não lhe faltaram. Assim, foi se constituindo o padre de todos e de todas e, ao mesmo tempo, de cada um e de cada uma. Por fim, a religiosidade de padre Cícero tem a marca de uma experiência de fé cristocêntrica, encarnada na realidade do povo e, por isso, transformadora.  A razão evangélica de sua missão o levou a colocar a pessoa no centro de sua escuta e de sua ação que era, sobretudo, ensinar as pessoas a se libertarem da servidão, da dependência dos patrões injustos, da fome e da falta de sentido para a Vida.
GRUPOS JUDAICOS LGBTQIA+: EMERGÊNCIA, OBJETIVOS E PERSPECTIVAS
Authors: Nogueira Guimarães José Flávio
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho vislumbra as questões de religião e gênero sob um viés judaico. Pretende-se analisar como os recém-criados grupos judaicos LGBTQIA+, Hineni, MOV.LGBTQIA+, Gaavah e Moishe House, têm procurado atingir os seus objetivos. A investigação apresentada aqui parte de uma abordagem qualitativa, já que se abre a uma perspectiva dos estudos de gênero e religião, constituindo-se como uma análise que insere e contempla a cultura. Pretende-se uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os grupos judaicos LGBTQIA+, buscando evidenciar e compreender como o judaísmo contemporâneo enfrenta essa questão e como lida com as dinâmicas sociais a ela relacionadas. O fato é que temos tido avanços como uma crescente conscientização e preocupação com essas minorias, prova disso é a própria criação desses grupos, mas também temos tido dificuldades na promoção de um avanço e homogeneização dessas mudanças no meio judaico. Recomenda-se uma recorrente, constante e contínua observação desse processo para futuras conclusões.
ARQUEOLOGIA E RELIGIÃO: POSSIBILIDADES PARA UMA INTERPRETAÇÃO DAS MATERIALIDADES RELIGIOSAS ATRAVÉS DE DAVID MORGAN E ALFRED GELL
Authors: Nogueira Martins Rodrigo
Published: December 2023

Esta comunicação pauta-se na possibilidade multidisciplinar suportada pelas Ciências da Religião aplicadas ao Patrimônio Cultural, tendo como foco as materialidades religiosas (Religião Material). Nossa abordagem utiliza como referência, o autor David Morgan (2005; 2009), com sua teoria do “Olhar Sagrado” (Sacred Gaze) e sua tríade interpretativa sobre a materialidade através dos artefatos, dos corpos e da espacialidade. Associamos esses conceitos ao pensamento de Alfred Gell (1988) e suas importantes contribuições sobre “Arte e Agência”, indissociáveis da Arqueologia. Nosso foco é, portanto, a apresentação de uma possibilidade epistemológica real entre as Ciências da Religião e a Arqueologia, com vistas a semear perspectivas de futuras análises e compreensões das “materialidades religiosas”, a partir dos autores citados. Logo, demonstramos a viabilidade de realizar uma análise a partir de um discurso polifônico oriundo de uma interface multifacetada entre conceitos solidificados na Arqueologia e conceitos emergentes das Ciências da Religião, como forma de encurtar caminhos para os demais pesquisadores que possam se interessar pelos estudos pautados na Religião Material.

Research Insights: Can Water Use Be Reduced through Policies that Promote Individual Metering of Water Consumption?
Authors: Contreras Ivette , Scartascini Carlos
Published: December 2023

Using administrative data from the Empresa Pública de Agua y Saneamiento (EPMAPS) of Quito, Ecuador, it is found that water consumption decreases by approximately 8 percentage points (pp) after the introduction of individual meters. To obtain an equivalent drop of 8 pp in water consumption, but without individual meters, water consumption prices would have to be doubled. Individual water meters could be a useful tool for reducing water consumption in both developing and developed countries.

Anton Walther (circa 1515–1557) – the first rector of the Ducal Pedagogium in Szczecin, professor at the universities of Greifswald and Wittenberg
Authors: Gierke Michał
Published: December 2023

This article attempts to provide a comprehensive biography of Anton Walther (circa 1515– 1557), the first rector of the Ducal Pedagogium in Szczecin and a professor at the universities of Greifswald and Wittenberg. The study primarily relies on academic sources and the gathered material serves as a starting point for potential prosopographical research on the teaching staff of the mentioned institutions. The article is structured into five parts — excluding the introduction — the first part discusses the scholar’s youth in Oberwesel and Wittenberg (up to 1539) and family matters, the second covers his professorship in Greifswald (1539–1542), the third deals with his rectorship in Szczecin (1542–1553), the fourth focuses on his professorship in Wittenberg (1553–1557), and the fifth part explores posthumous commemorations.
References to ancient authors in Paul Friedeborn’s Historical description of the city of Szczecin in the context of the educational program of the Ducal Pedagogium in Szczecin. A research reconnaissance
Authors: Cieśluk Małgorzata
Published: December 2023

The considerations in this article are focused on various types of references (quotations, paraphrases, allusions, etc.) to authors who wrote in classical languages, introduced by Paul Friedeborn in his chronicle titled Historische Beschreibung der Stadt Alten Stettin in Pommern, with a particular emphasis on Greek and Latin ancient authors. The first research objective was to identify common points in the educational program of Pedagogium Stetinense and Friedeborn’s Historical description of the city of Szczecin based on the aforementioned references. This involved compiling a list of 16 “academic” authors whose works were introduced by Friedeborn into his chronicle by comparing the names of the creators and the titles of the texts mentioned in the university’s educational documentation and in the chronicle. From the chronicle text, 84 references to the works of these authors were extracted.

In the second part of the considerations, these references were subjected to analysis, treated as a research attempt that allows for a closer examination of the historian’s craftsmanship and the strategies he adopted related to incorporating references to the works of other authors. All quotations from Cicero’s works were subjected to detailed analysis, while references to other “academic” authors were examined at a higher level of generality. The focus was on three aspects. The first is the use of various linguistic variants and an attempt to indicate possible reasons for this diversity. The second is the use of different forms of describing individual mentions, allowing for a closer look at Paul Friedeborn’s work methodology. Finally, the third aspect, addressed to a limited extent, is an attempt to answer the question of the sources from which Friedeborn borrowed excerpts from the works of ancient authors for his chronicle. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the considerations conducted in this article have the character of research reconnaissance. The conclusions formulated based on references to “academic” authors should be verified in the future through the analysis of all references to authors who wrote in classical languages introduced by Friedeborn into the chronicle’s text.

A posthumous portrait of Johannes Micraelius
Authors: Borysowska Agnieszka
Published: December 2023

W artykule omówiono reakcje na śmierć Johannesa Micraeliusa, wyrażone przez jemu współczesnych w dostępnych dziś źródłach rękopiśmiennych i publikacjach drukowanych, a także wspomnienia o nim zamieszczane w publikacjach późniejszych. W funeraliach powstałych w związku ze śmiercią Micraeliusa żal po zmarłym wyrażają przede wszystkim jego współpracownicy, uczniowie, krewni i przyjaciele. Po latach wspominają go z kolei pedagodzy pracujący w szkołach-następcach Pedagogium Książęcego: Gimnazjum Karolińskim, Gimnazjum Akademickim i Gimnazjum Mariackim. W jednych i drugich dokumentach na czoło wysuwają się zasługi pedagogiczne zmarłego – ceni się go przede wszystkim za doprowadzenie do rozkwitu szkoły, którą zarządzał jako rektor w ostatnich latach życia. Legenda Micraeliusa-niedościgłego rektora zaniknęła w Szczecinie po 1945 roku, kiedy zmieniła się przynależność państwowa miasta i przerwana została działalność Gimnazjum Mariackiego, a tym samym – ciągłość działania placówki edukacyjnej sięgającej czasów Micraeliusa. Współcześnie rzadko wspomina się o dokonaniach Micraeliusa na niwie pedagogicznej, coraz częściej sięga się za to po jego dorobek piśmienniczy.

Członkami działających w Szczecinie lóż masońskich byli również nauczyciele wykładający w działającym od 1805 roku Królewskim i Miejskim Gimnazjum (Königliches und Stadtgymnasium), a od 1869 roku w Gimnazjum Mariackim (Königliches Marienstiftsgymnasium). Przebieg ich kariery zawodowej, równoległy z działalnością wolnomularską, można analizować na podstawie zachowanych roczników spisów członków lóż masońskich. Oprócz informacji o wykonywanym zawodzie i piastowanym stanowisku, w spisach odnotowano także awanse wolnomularzy na kolejne stopnie wtajemniczenia oraz pełnione funkcje. Wśród mistrzów czcigodnych, stojących na czele loży i kierujących jej pracami, znaleźli się m.in. profesorowie Justus Günther Grassmann oraz Hermann Hering. Masonami byli także polihistor Hermann Grassmann, wybitny matematyk i językoznawca oraz sławny kompozytor i dyrygent Carl Löwe. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie spisów członków lóż jako cennego źródła historycznego oraz zasygnalizowanie tematów (obszarów) badawczych, w których mogłyby być wykorzystane.
Modernization of villages in the Western and Northern Lands of People’s Poland in sociological reflection
Authors: Walerski Konrad
Published: December 2023

Procesy modernizacyjne wdrożone przez władze Polski Ludowej objęły ze szczególnym nasileniem polską wieś. Zjawiska, takie jak industrializacja i urbanizacja, reorganizacja systemu rolnictwa czy wprowadzenie obowiązku szkolnego miały gwarantować awans społeczny mas chłopskich oraz przyczynić się do budowy nowego społeczeństwa socjalistycznego w powojennej Polsce. Ziemie Zachodnie i Północne, na których rozwój gospodarki uspołecznionej odbywał się znacznie szybciej niż w Polsce Centralnej i Wschodniej, stanowiły swoiste laboratorium społeczne, a zarazem obszar szczególnie interesujący dla badań socjologicznych. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jakiej mierze polska socjologia przyczyniła się w okresie PRL do analizy oraz udokumentowania procesu socjalistycznej modernizacji na wspomnianym terytorium.
Intangible cultural heritage of Western Pomerania villages – transformations and contemporary state
Authors: Kwaśniewska Anna
Published: December 2023

Druga wojna światowa i zmiany ludnościowe, jakie po niej nastąpiły, zmieniły oblicze kulturowe Pomorza Zachodniego. Osadnicy pochodzący z różnych regionów Polski, Kresowiacy, a także Ukraińcy i Łemkowie przenieśli na nowe tereny część dziedzictwa materialnego, a przede wszystkim dziedzictwo niematerialne. Proces zderzenia kultur i modernizacji spowodował, że już w latach 60. i 70. XX wieku wiele przejawów tego dziedzictwa zanikło. Do czasów współczesnych przetrwały niektóre zwyczaje i praktyki, ale jednocześnie widoczny jest proces kreowania (rekonstruowania) i wynajdywania dziedzictwa. Przeprowadzone przez autorkę w latach 201–2019 etnologiczne badania terenowe w siedmiu powiatach woj. zachodniopomorskiego i pomorskiego pokazały, że niematerialne dziedzictwo kulturowe wsi Pomorza Zachodniego ma charakter mozaikowy i zależy w dużej mierze od pochodzenia regionalnego mieszkańców, jak też działalności instytucji kultury, stowarzyszeń. We wschodniej części regionu kontynuowanych jest wiele przejawów dziedzictwa przeniesionych przez Kaszubów. Na całym obszarze kontynuowane są niektóre zwyczaje związane ze świętami religijnymi (katolickimi, greckokatolickimi, prawosławnymi), zwyczaje okołoreligijne, ale także resztki wierzeń i praktyk o charakterze magicznym. W środkowej i zachodniej części regionu widoczne jest oddolne konstruowanie nowej kultury (post)ludowej, zwłaszcza muzycznej. Powstało i funkcjonuje tu wiele zespołów wokalnych i wokalno-instrumentalnych, skupiających zwłaszcza osoby ze starszego pokolenia. „Odkrywane” jest dziedzictwo kresowe, ukraińskie i łemkowskie. W procesie (re)konstruowania dziedzictwa i tożsamości sięga się po niematerialne dziedzictwo dawnych mieszkańców – jamneńskie, słowińskie; tłumaczy się i wydaje zbiory legend, a także tworzy nowe opowieści dotyczące regionu. Widoczna jest zmiana podejścia do miejsc pamięci, jakimi są cmentarze poniemieckie, docenia się też coraz częściej zachowane jeszcze dość licznie przejawy dawnego budownictwa ludowego.

Zasadniczym celem było ustalenie specyfiki oraz zbadanie poziomu partycypacji wyborczej mieszkańców oraz określenie jej istotności dla rozwoju kapitału społecznego środowiska wiejskiego. Analizie poddano frekwencję wyborczą podczas określonych wyborów, zwłaszcza w gminach wiejskich. W tym kontekście zwrócono uwagę na poziom poparcia PSL, partii politycznej postrzeganej jako reprezentują interesy mieszkańców wsi. Frekwencja była wyższa na terenach wiejskich województwa kujawsko-pomorskiego aniżeli zachodniopomorskiego. W gminach wiejskich położonych we wschodniej części województwa kujawsko-pomorskiego frekwencja osiągnęła istotnie niższy wynik w odniesieniu do średniego w całym województwie. Zróżnicowanie terytorialne natomiast nie zaznaczyło się tak wyraźnie w przypadku poziomu zaangażowania elektoratu gmin wiejskich w województwie zachodniopomorskim. Otoczenie dużych i mniejszych miast skłaniało mieszkańców wsi do udziału w głosowaniu. W gminach sąsiadujących z dużymi miastami zauważono wyjątkową mobilizację do udziału w elekcji. Natomiast większa odległość od dużych ośrodków miejskich nie sprzyjała frekwencji. Wyższy poziom partycypacji wyborczej środowiska rolniczego w województwie kujawsko-pomorskim wynikał z długiej tradycji wpływów PSL i silniejszych więzi z tą partią.

Authors: Mehta Vivek
Published: December 2023

Mucoceles are minor salivary gland lesions commonly seen in children and young adults. It is characterized by the presence of single or multiple, dome-shaped and fluctuant nodules, mostly asymptomatic, with sizes ranging from 1 or 2 mm to several centimetres. Although benign, it has the potential to cause functional disturbances and can impair feeding and dietary habits. The most common site is the lower lip and they have no obvious gender predilection. The color varies from deep blue to normal pink and the reported duration of this oral lesion varies from a few days to several years. Recommended treatment is often surgical excision and it minimizes the risk of recurrence. A case of an 11-year-old boy presenting with mucocele of the lower lip due to lip biting habit has been presented to enhance awareness regarding the diagnosis and management of oral mucosal lesions.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DE LÉVINAS PARA O DEBATE EDUCACIONAL: É POSSÍVEL A CONSTRUÇÃO DE UMA OUTRA MODALIDADE PEDAGÓGICA QUE PARTA PARA O ACOLHIMENTO DO OUTRO?
Authors: Ludwig Rafael , Dickmann Ivo
Published: December 2023

A ideia central desta pesquisa é buscar uma nova aproximação entre a ética e a educação através do pensamento levinasiano. Este pensamento nos consegue mostrar novas contribuições e reflexões para contemporaneidade que é marcada por uma profunda crise da unidade da razão e por uma constituição da subjetividade soberana. Evidenciando a época que estamos vivendo, onde se propaga uma grande ideia de indiferença para com o outro, emerge uma problemática de ressignificação e de defesa de uma outra modalidade pedagógica, “outro modo de ensino”, que seja baseado numa educação para o acolhimento e para a abertura de um ensinamento fundado na educação para a alteridade. Portanto, a proposta é investigar uma possível contribuição da ética da alteridade para as reflexões e práticas educativas.

ANÁLISE COM MODELAGEM MULTINÍVEL: CONTRIBUIÇÃO PARA ESTUDO SOBRE AS VARIÁVEIS SIGNIFICANTES PARA AS NOTAS NO ENEM
Authors: Máximo Bárbara Castilho , Ribeiro Luiz Fernando Caldeira
Published: December 2023

O Enem é uma das avaliações mais importantes para a educação básica do Brasil, reunindo estudantes de todos os tipos de escola, renda familiar e cor, à fim de estabelecer o ingresso ao ensino superior, seja ele em universidades públicas ou em particulares contando com bolsa ou financiamento estudantil. Contando com uma extensa base de dados sobre os inscritos do ano de 2019 e dados sobre as escolas que os mesmos estudaram em seu último ano escolar o presente trabalho teve o objetivo de testar e demonstrar quais variáveis ligadas ao aluno e à escola podem ser consideradas explicativas para a média das cinco notas que compõe a avaliação. Para esta demonstração foi desenvolvido um algoritmo supervisionado de “machine learning” conhecido como modelagem linear generalizado multinível, onde os dados referentes aos inscritos são aninhados aos dados referentes as escolas, podendo assim demonstrar que este tipo de técnica proporciona melhores resultados quando comparada a um modelo de regressão linear simples para este tipo de caso. O modelo foi construído com 36variáveis, chegando a um valor de máxima verossimilhança restrita de 65.144,52. Além da utilidade preditiva do modelo, também permitiu uma análise socioeconômica do ingresso para o ensino superior, pois os resultados têm forte relação com dados como a raça/cor, renda, sexo e escolaridade dos pais dos alunos, também a dispositivos de acesso à informação nas escolas, como bibliotecas e computadores, permitindo assim o apontamento para fatores que podem ser aprimorados tanto no meio da educação básica quanto no social.

AS PESSOAS JURÍDICAS À LUZ DO PRINCÍPIO ESTRUTURANTE DA ETICIDADE
Authors: Faria João Gabriel Fraga de Oliveira
Published: December 2023

O Código Civil, norma fundamental do sistema jurídico-privado, foi construído com base em três princípios estruturantes, sendo um deles a eticidade, que se erradia sobre todos os seus institutos e instituições. Não obstante, o conteúdo do princípio referido seencontra presente, de modo especial, nas pessoas jurídicas, em suas disposições normativas; em sua tutela jurídico-constitucional, com fundamento na preservação da dignidade da pessoa humana; no pressuposto para a consideração de sua existência, quese condiciona à observância da ética no uso da pessoa jurídica por seus titulares, o que fica evidente na aplicação da teoria maior da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, bem como à valoração ético-normativa do seu uso, evidente nas hipóteses de incidência da teoria menor da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica.

A síndrome metabólica (SM) é um agregado de fatores de risco cardiometabólicos, associados ao aumento do risco de múltiplas doenças crônicas, incluindo câncer e doenças cardiovasculares, com grande impacto econômico no sistema de saúde, na sociedade e nas famílias. Estas alterações têm início na infância e podem persistir na vida adulta. Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência da SM e fatores associados, em crianças de 6 a 9 anos de idade matriculadas em escolas municipais de Cuiabá. Método: estudo observacional, de corte transversal, com 591 crianças de 6 a 9 anos, matriculados nas escolas municipais de Cuiabá no ano de 2012. Foram utilizados dados secundários obtidos pelos seguintes meios: i) questionário respondido pelos pais e/ou responsáveis; ii) exame físico dos estudantes; iii) variáveis biológicas. A variável dependente foi a SM diagnosticada pelos critérios da Internacional Diabetes Federation (IDF), sendo usado o >p90 como critério para avaliar a circunferência de cintura. Um segundo modelo estatístico substituiu a glicemia de jejum elevada pela resistência insulínica aumentada, avaliada pelo índice HOMA-IR >2,15. As variáveis independentes foram representadas por fatores sociodemográficos, biológicos e de saúde.

COVID-19 and online learning: Challenges, benefits, and intrinsic motivation of Bangladeshi private university students
Authors: Baten Tanzima , Moquit Nafisa
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many educational institutions, including private universities, all over the world to shift to online education, and Bangladesh was no exception. However, the transition presented numerous obstacles. The purpose of this paper was to determine what motivated private university students to continue their online education during the pandemic despite the challenges. The challenges and benefits reflected by students regarding online education were also discussed in this study by applying thematic analysis through a mixed-method approach. Further, to investigate the factors that intrinsically motivated the learners, Self-Determination Theory was employed as a theoretical framework. A total number of 80 students from different private universities, both male and female, participated in this study. Findings revealed that most of the learners of online classes faced challenges in several issues, such as poor technology and internet facilities, financial constraints, unsuitable home environments, deterioration of physical and mental health, and insufficient feedback. Besides, this study discovered that despite the challenges, learners were intrinsically motivated to continue learning during the lockdown as competence, relatedness and autonomy were ensured. These findings would be essential guidelines and implications for educators and university authorities of private universities for making better policy choices for online classes in the future.
Evaluating the relationship between stem and leaf biomass as well as stem length and leaf surface area of amaranth cultivars in improving food plant

Amaranth is now cultivated almost all over the World for multiple purposes, such as a vegetable, seed food, feed for animals, medicine, and for industry uses. They are highly nutritious, with vitamins and minerals. Leaf area and leaf dry biomass are key parameters linked to plant growth and production. The relationship between leaf biomass and leaf surface area, as well as stem biomass and stem length, is important to our understanding of plant scaling relationships because of their relationship to plant survival. This paper aimed to evaluate the relationship between and within the leaf and stem parameters of nine different amaranth cultivars. The fresh leaves and stems were weighed in their fresh masses; the surface area for leaves was calculated by drawing a full leaf in square quadrats and then counting the square quadrats occupied by a leaf and the stem length was measured using a ruler. Our results indicated that there was a clear relationship between leaf fresh mass and leaf dry mass but a negative correlation between stem fresh mass and stem dry mass due to different internal contents such as water and substances. A low significance was obtained between leaf biomass and leaf surface area, stem biomass and stem length, and leaf biomass and stems biomass as well as leaf surface area and stem length. Our results revealed that this variability of values causes the disproportional ratio of fresh mass to dry mass due to the differentiation quantity of water and solutes within the leaves and stems.

Published: December 2023

Coffee fruit processing residues have been proposed to prevent meat quality loss. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of coffee silverskin aqueous extract (CSE) on the oxidative stability of a pork meat homogenate. CSE was subjected to polyphenols determination (total phenol, flavonoids, and caffeoylquinic acid contents) and antiradical and reducing power assays. In addition, raw pork meat homogenates were divided into four treatments (CN, control or without antioxidant; T1 and T2, CSE at 250 and 500 ppm, respectively; BHT, synthetic antioxidant at 500 ppm), oxidized during 1 h with potassium ferrocyanide (0, 0.5, and 1.0%, w/v), and were subjected to meat quality evaluation (pH, lipid oxidation, color, and metmyoglobin content). Results demonstrated that CSE is an important source of polyphenols with antioxidant activity, and their incorporation in a raw pork meat homogenate led to reduce pH values, lipid oxidation, and metmyoglobin content, as well as decreased color changes (p < 0.05). These results suggest that CSE has great potential as an antioxidant additive for meat products.
