Published: May 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo desenvolver uma análise das políticas públicas para a juventude no Brasil, tendo como marco temporal o Estatuto da Juventude que passou a dispor sobre os direitos para a população entre 15 e 29 anos. Para isso, revisitamos a origem do conceito de juventude e desenvolvemos uma análise do cenário contemporâneo no que diz respeito aos indicadores em relação ao mercado de trabalho, escolarização e violência a partir dos dados do último Censo – 2022, realizado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE para a população jovem.  E, com o intuito de discutir as políticas públicas de juventude nos últimos dez anos, realizamos a análise dos três últimos Planos Plurianuais - PPAs desenvolvidos pelos últimos governos federais. Nas considerações finais, o presente artigo aponta que no Brasil as políticas públicas de juventude são recentes, tendo início no final dos anos 1990, consolidando-se no ano de 2013 com a promulgação do Estatuto da Juventude. No entanto, mesmo diante da normativa, os governos sucessores acabaram por instituir um desmonte nas políticas e garantias já efetivadas anteriormente, sendo possível vislumbrar com a posse de indicativos de uma retomada da juventude como sujeito de direitos.

Authors: Myšková Aneta , Sýkora David , Kuneš Jaroslav , Maletínská Lenka
Published: May 2024

Peptide therapeutics are becoming increasingly important in the quest for effective compounds to treat various difficult-to-cure diseases. As potential therapeutics, peptides have many favorable chemical and pharmacological properties, ranging from their great diversity to their high affinity to various types of natural receptors. However, despite these and other advantages, they also have their pitfalls, such as a very limited stability in the organism. They have a short half-life and tend to be excreted from the body very quickly. In order to achieve a better pharmacological effect, it is desirable to find new means of modifying peptides to enable them to be used as effective drugs. There are many ways of altering the peptide structure. In this review, we summarize the approaches currently used to modify the peptide constitution with a focus on lipidization. Simultaneously this review summarizes all lipidized peptide-based therapeutics that are currently on the market.

Chemistry education at the secondary school level, with limited science education including chemistry, is only a marginally discussed topic. In our study, we provide information on how chemistry can be taught in secondary vocational schools to further strengthen and extend students' science literacy while being well-received by students. We have tested our method in one of Prague's M‑type vocational schools. This sub-study yielded interesting results that lead us to systematize our approach and develop suitable learning support for students and a methodology for teachers. We also present a sample of a sub-section of the learning support in the text.
Оптимізація вищої освіти в посткомуністичних країнах в умовах євроінтеграції як предмет публічного управління: теоретичні аспекти
Authors: Лахижа М. І.
Published: May 2024

Актуальність статті полягає у спробі теоретичного осмислення дискусійної теми оптимізації вищої освіти в посткомуністичних країнах та публічного управління цим процесом. Мета дослідження полягає у з’ясуванні специфіки системи вищої освіти посткомуністичних країн та вузлових завдань щодо її оптимізації і виробленні пропозицій щодо можливості використання зарубіжного досвіду в Україні. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на застосуванні комплексного системного підходу: структурний аналіз поєднувався з конкретно-історичним, компаративістським та описово-індуктивним методами. Гіпотеза дослідження побудована на переконанні, що оптимізація вищої освіти має ґрунтуватися на удосконаленні форм та методів досягнення її завдань, що викликані євроінтеграційними вимогами та вузловими потребами розвитку суспільства. Оптимізація вищої освіти розглядається через призму двох парадигм: реформування системи вищої освіти за рахунок впровадження ідей нового публічного управління та посилення традицій елітарного гумбольдтівського університету. Здійснено компаративний аналіз оптимізації вищої освіти в Болгарії, Польщі та Україні, який підтвердив спільні завдання, пов’язані з процесом європейської інтеграції та виявив національні особливості. Виокремлено загальні та особливі проблеми розвитку вищої освіти та публічного управління цим процесом. Відзначено роль політичного фактору, який сприяє формуванню бачення суті та напрямів змін. Стверджується, що оптимізація сфери вищої освіти прямо залежить від вироблення та застосування якісних механізмів публічного управління: стабільність, зрозумілість, обґрунтованість державної політики. Зростає роль спільного вироблення рішень та використання зарубіжного досвіду реформ. Відзначено, що рівень вищої освіти та науки впливає на стан економіки та суспільства загалом, але в свою чергу залежить від економічних можливостей країни. Планувати розвиток вищої освіти можна лише у зв’язку з розвитком середньої освіти. Децентралізація вищої освіти, посилення рівня автономності університетів має поєднуватися зі зростанням регулюючої ролі держави, яка має підтримувати ті навчальні заклади, діяльність яких найбільш потрібна для країни. Важливо досягти гармонізації академічних планів і програм з потребами ринку праці. Необхідно повніше враховувати національні інтереси, які полягають не лише у забезпечення якості вищої освіти, а і у задоволенні попиту на вищу освіту. Потенціал вищих навчальних закладів формується потенціалом науково-педагогічних працівників, що робить необхідним враховувати їх інтереси в процесі реформ.

Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Rectus abdominis separation (DRA) affects pelvic stability and body image. No studies have explored the effects of manual massage on early postpartum DRA and postpartum depression.

AIM

To analyze the curative effect of massage on early postpartum DRA and its impact on postpartum depression and thus its ability promote the overall psychosomatic rehabilitation of postpartum women.

METHODS

Data were retrospectively collected on 70 primiparous women with postpartum DRA who underwent rehabilitation at the Postpartum Rehabilitation Center of Huzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from October 2022 to September 2023. The patients were divided into the Group S (35 cases, biomimetic electrical stimulation treatment) and Group L (35 cases, biomimetic electrical stimulation combined with manual massage treatment). Baseline data, the edinburgh postpartum depression scale (EPDS) score, and the visual analog scale (VAS) scores for rectus abdominis distance, waist circumference, and lower back pain before and after treatment were compared.

RESULTS

No significant differences were found in the baseline data, rectus abdominis distance, waist circumference, and VAS and EPDS scores between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, the distance between rectus abdominis and waist circumference in Group L were significantly smaller than those in Group S (P < 0.05). Furthermore, lower back pain (VAS score) and the EPDS score in Group L were significantly lower than those in Group S (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Manual massage can significantly reduce early postpartum DRA, waist circumference, and back pain and improve the patient’s mental state and postpartum depression.

The present study delved into the dynamics of tree communities in a specific area within Phou Khao Khouay National Park in Laos, distinguished by three distinct tropical forest types: Dry Evergreen Forest (DEF), Mixed Deciduous Forest (MDF), and Mixed Coniferous Forest (MCF). Conducted over a decade, from 2012 to 2022, we utilized data from a previous inventory carried out in 32 permanent plots, each measuring 50 m × 50 m. Trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 10 cm were identified, tagged, and measured for various parameters. In 2012, we documented 4,072 stems, amounting to 395 species existing within 155 families across the 32 plots, with a total area of 8 ha. By 2022, the number of stems had increased to 4,402, but the species and family counts had decreased to 311 and 135, respectively. Over the ten years, there was a notable increase in the number of stems, basal area (BA), and aboveground biomass (AGB), accompanied by a reduction in species and families. This study contributes valuable insights that can be utilized to enhance forest management practices. The observed trends provide a nuanced understanding of the dynamic nature of the forest ecosystems in the study area. The findings underscore the importance of considering individual forest types when implementing conservation strategies.

Studying the diversity and ecological role of dominant species provides an important foundation for understanding the influence of dominant species on the diversity and biomass production capacity of plant communities. This study was conducted at the Nui Cau - Dau Tieng Protection Forest Management Board, Binh Duong province, to understand the diversity and ecological role of Dipterocarpus obtusifolius Teijsm. ex Mig. in the ecosystem forests. A total of 19 plots, each 0.1 ha in size (50 m x 20 m), were used for data collection. Trees with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥ 6 cm were recorded, including species name, number of individuals, dbh, and overall height. The study employed importance value index analysis (IVI%) and aboveground biomass (AGB) to assess the ecological role of dominant species. Findings revealed that: (1) Communities with dominant species had low species richness and fluctuating diversity levels, (2) The ecological role of dominant species varied across forest states, decreasing from very poor > poor > medium forests, and (3) Increasing IVI% and AGB% of dominant species influenced woody species structure and biomass output in the plant community. This study offers valuable insights to enhance forest management and quality in the area.

Published: May 2024

The mechanical and flame-retardant properties of Acacia hybrid wood were studied through the treatment of an aqueous solution containing a styrene-acrylic copolymer (SC) and sodium silicate (SS). The results showed a significant increase in the mechanical properties of SC/SS-treated wood. Specifically, the modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) improved by up to 71.54% and 53.65%, respectively. The surface hardness of the cross-section and radial section also increased by 37.24% and 46.65%, respectively. The treated wood’s weight percentage gain (WPG) reached up to 23.31%. The largest leaching rate (LR) of treated wood was only 8.01%, suggesting this treatment has obvious effects in fixing the SS in the wood. However, it did not cause positive bulking efficiency (BE) and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE). The incorporation of SS with SC resulted in the decomposition of polysaccharides at a lower temperature while increasing the limiting oxygen index (LOI), which was 34.95% higher than that of untreated wood, making it more difficult to ignite. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the SC/SS deposited in the cell lumina after polymerization, but significant structural changes occurred, including vessel and cell wall deformation due to the partial dissolution of hemicellulose and lignin from the cell wall in the alkaline solution. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of applying the SC/SS combination treatment to wood in practical applications.

Family Planning, Irrigation, and Agricultural Cooperatives for Sustainable Food Security in Kenya
Authors: Ingutia Rose , Sumelius John
Published: May 2024

Rapid population growth causes smallholders to practice unsustainable forms of land intensification to meet increasing food demand. Food insecurity is exacerbated by unreliable rainfall. We revisit family planning, smallholder irrigation, and agricultural cooperatives as potential sustainable solutions. We use primary data from Kakamega Central and Navakholo in Kenya. Results from respondents indicate 83% had no family planning information, while 82% had no access to irrigation. The main reasons are poverty, illiteracy, misconceptions, gender inequality, and constraints in accessing credit, lack of investment in water resources, and lack of family planning. Lack of access to agricultural extension services limits the adoption of sustainable farming practices. Cooperatives’ principles and values make them suitable pathways to reach the poorest and facilitate members’ access to productive resources. Cooperatives can be used to train members in sustainable agricultural practices and educate members on family planning issues. Descriptive statistics and econometric regression results suggest that cooperatives have contributed to better yields, incomes, nutritional status, and reduced poverty. However, they are constrained by a lack of capital, credit, infrastructure, markets, training and technology, delayed payment, and low prices. Governments and development agencies should support the establishment and development of cooperatives with capacity building, market infrastructure, finance, and education in cooperative principles and values.

Masking the Inner-Killjoy: A Critical Feminist Perspective on Police Research

Drawing on her ethnographic doctoral research, the author reflects on the challenges of employing a feminist methodology when observing the police. The article will discuss the fraught process of gaining trust and sustaining fragile access by betraying the self. The feminist killjoy (Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life; Ahmed, The Feminist Killjoy Handbook) is used as a lens to examine the author’s response to the political and ethical dilemmas that she encountered during fieldwork. This will lead to considering whether a “critical empathy” framework is a valuable approach to conducting police research from a feminist perspective. This discussion will offer new tools for dealing with the emotional complexities of ethnographic research. It will make a strong case for the possibilities and importance of conducting feminist research about the police.
Mystical and artistic innovations in Rahman Baba's poems

Published: May 2024

Mysticism and artistry are the strongest and best features of notable Pashto poet Abdul Rahman Babas' poetry. Even if there is little known about Abdul Rahman Baba's life and his poetry serves as an internal testament that allows at least some of his mystical approach's events to be identified, researchers have not been able to fully investigate him. Rahman Baba's worldview, impression, and mystical and poetic observations about the major social movements of his day may undoubtedly be attributed to the technical and spiritual aspects of his poetry, which may have inspired him throughout his life. Abdul Rahman Baba's work to address this issue has been acknowledged in this article.
The influence of Psychology on linguistics
Authors: Kadwal Shah Mahmoud
Published: May 2024

Language is not a dry physical Phenomenon, but has a mental basis. Any Phonemes that come out of the mouth have meaning and the meaning is in the mind. If there was no mental aspect of language, then the sounds would only be a physical Phenomenon, like other sounds that we hear, which only enter our brains through the ears as a physical Phenomenon, but have no meaning and in the mind. It does not create any image or concept, such as the sounds of airplanes, cars and thunder. That language has meaning, meaning is related to Psychology, thus language and Psychology are connected and both enter into each other, so linguistics and Psychology merge into each other and create a branch called Psycholinguistics. Language is a representative of the psychological movements and actions of a person from the beginning to the end. It starts when the vocal organs of the little one become capable of producing sounds and sending their emotional requests to others through sounds (Phonemes). If we come to the background of ideas about different aspects of life in civil history, then these ideas are very new, which connect linguistics and psychology.

Published: May 2024

Fusarium wilt is one of the most notorious diseases of crop plants. This disease leads to huge crop losses in chickpea with substantial monetary value worldwide. The objective of the current study was to characterise Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cicris (Foc), the causal agent of chickpea wilt, on morphological basis followed by the assessment of resistance of thirty chickpea germplasm accessions to Foc in a pot experiment. The second objective of this research was to study gene expression and characterisation of specific resistance (R) genes in different Fusarium wilt-resistant chickpea genotypes. The morphological identification and characterization of Foc was done by culturing the fungus potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. Fusarium wild resistance was assessed by challenging 30 chickpea genotypes to artificial inoculum of Foc by using a pre-defined disease rating scale. Different resistance levels were showed by different chickpea genotypes ranging from highly resistant to highly susceptible. Two accessions demonstrated resistance, 15 were moderately resistant and the rest of the genotypes were moderately susceptible to susceptible. The in-silico expression analysis of R genes showed that two R genes, LOC101499430 and LOC101499568 were upregulated in chickpea roots, indicating their probable role in Fusarium wilt resistance. The genes were further assessed for their expression in response to Fusarium inoculation in contrasting Fusarium wilt resistant and susceptible chickpea genotypes. The resistant genotypes showed significantly higher expression levels of the selected R genes in comparison with susceptible genotypes. This study provides valuable insights into evaluating chickpea germplasm for Fusarium wilt resistance and identification of candidate resistance genes which could be employed for enhancement of Fusarium wilt resistance in chickpea.

Published: May 2024

The grapes (Vitis vinifera) are one of the largely consumed fruits in the world. Grape production in Pakistan has increased in the recent years. These are mainly consumed fresh or as dried raisins. Grapes are highly perishable, which makes them liable to rot during transport, storage, and marketing. The perishable nature of grapes leads to a considerable amount of post-harvest loss. The production and quality of grapes are adversely affected by several abiotic and biotic factors. Two different cities Pishin (Balochistan) and Faisalabad (Punjab) fruit market and stores were selected to collect rotten grapes. The fungal pathogens isolated were identified as A. niger and R. stolonifers. The pathogenicity of isolated pathogens was assessed at different temperatures (5, 20, and 30 °C) on the Thompson seedless grape variety. Infection and proliferation of fungi were found conducive at 30°C. As antifungal agents, three organic origin oils, neem, cinnamon, and clove oils with levels i.e., 500, 1000, 2000 ppm as well as marigold and neem extracts with diverse concentrations of like 12.5, 25, and 50% were employed. Among these organic compounds, cinnamon and clove oils at 2000 ppm exhibited 6.54% and 15.3% decay against A. niger, respectively. Meanwhile, against R. stolonifer, cinnamon and clove oils at 2000 ppm exhibited 12.22% and 6.74% decay, respectively. This study's findings focus on the effectiveness of both essential oils and plant extract in significantly delaying the decay process caused by fungal pathogens. The present study underscores the protective ability of the plant extracts and natural oils which could be a way forward for eco-safe management of post-harvest diseases of grapes before they reach the market.

Published: May 2024

Maize (Zea mays L.) holds an important position as a major grain crop in Pakistan flourishing across a diverse range of environmental conditions. The maize crop encounters various severe abiotic challenges with drought being the most concerning factor leading to diminished plant growth and yield. Seed priming a well-established and widely adopted technique serves as an effective mechanism to alleviate drought stress ultimately boosting both growth and grain yield. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of diverse seed priming methods on the growth and development of maize plants. Additionally, the study sought to assess the potential of various seed priming techniques in mitigating drought stress in maize. A pot experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design under natural conditions. The aim was to scrutinize the influence of different priming agents on morpho-physiological traits associated with water deficit conditions in maize. The gathered data underwent ANOVA analysis revealing variations in all parameters for both maize varieties at a 5% probability level. Specifically, the Pak-Afgoi variety displayed notable responsiveness to the seed priming approach in alleviating drought stress in maize. Furthermore, the findings underscored the evident and substantial impact of seed priming on both maize varieties across a range of studied characteristics under drought stress conditions. In conclusion, the present study suggests that seed priming holds the potential to enhance drought tolerance in maize.

Com a pandemia da Covid-19, as instituições de ensino em seus mais variados níveis foram suspensas, paralisando as aulas presenciais e adotando o Ensino Remoto Emergencial para o prosseguimento das atividades escolares. Investigar o contexto educacional vivenciado nas escolas do município de Tefé-AM é de suma importância para entender as estratégias utilizadas nas aulas de Química. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar como ocorreu o ensino remoto nas aulas de Química durante o período da pandemia do COVID-19 na cidade de Tefé, Amazonas. Foram aplicados questionários com alunos de quatro escolas estaduais para averiguar a percepção deles em relação ao ensino e à aprendizagem. Os resultados mostraram que o celular e o WhatsApp foram os meios de comunicação mais utilizados para o envio de conteúdos e a realização das aulas. Entretanto, devido à baixa qualidade da conexão à internet, as Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação não puderam ser utilizadas de forma efetiva, resultando em um baixo desempenho dos alunos na aprendizagem e levando-os a preferir o ensino presencial para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

The article provides data on a comparative analysis of the features of vegetation restoration in areas of oligotrophic bogs with a high degree of oil product pollution, located on the territory of an oil field in the Middle Ob region, reclaimed according to standard schemes, widely used in the 2000s, and by cutting off oil-contaminated soil. The total projective vegetation cover (TPVC) of all reclaimed areas mostly reaches standard values (above 30%). The TPVC in areas without cutting is slightly higher than in areas with cutting due to the difference in recovery time in favor of the former. At the same time, the average number of all recorded species in areas with cutting is slightly higher, and they include some oligotrophic vascular plants (heather shrubs, Drosera rotundifolia, Eriophorum vaginatum), which spread much less frequently in areas without cutting. The projective cover of the herb-shrub layer is higher in areas without cutting. The content of oil products in the surface layer of 0-20 cm in areas with cutting is generally lower compared to areas reclaimed by traditional methods. However, even high concentrations (more than 250 g∙kg-1) do not have a significant negative effect on the total projective cover of the grass/herb-shrub layer, while its minimum values are primarily associated with a lack of moisture on high microrelief elements. Similarly, high concentrations of hydrocarbons do not serve as an obstacle to the development of moss cover dominated by sphagnum mosses in areas of cut-off hollows. At the same time, polytrichous and brown mosses were much more sensitive to oil pollution in the form of bitumen crust, and thus avoided areas without cutting.

For landscape conditions in the upper reaches of the river Klyazma, Solnechnogorsk district, Moscow region, the height and reserves of snow cover were investigated, and the chemical composition of the snow was determined. The basis for considering the component composition of snow cover was the geochemical taxonomy of chemical elements based on the characteristics of water migration and abundance. Data from 23 snow sampling points were interpolated in SAGA GIS using the inverse distance weighting (IDW) method. On this basis, zones differing in the chemical composition of snow are identified. One of the zones is confined to the M-10 Moscow-St. Petersburg highway, while the second borders on populated areas. The area close to the highway is characterized by increased levels of calcium, sodium, aluminum, and chloride ions in the snow cover. The second zone, bordering populated areas, is characterized by a high content of calcium, copper, and manganese in the snow. For the third zone, low concentrations of components in the snow were observed which are characteristic of a superaquatic landscape due to the distance from sources of pollution. The studied composition of snow waters belongs to the bicarbonate-sodium-calcium-chloride class. It has been shown that the height and reserves of snow cover are partially controlled by two factors: the type of elementary landscape and the type of ecosystem. Against this background, the spatial distribution of concentrations of elements and anions in snow is predominantly controlled by the anthropogenic factor.

Published: May 2024

Conhecer a anatomia interna dos canais radiculares e suas variações revela extrema importância para o desenvolvimento e sucesso do tratamento endodôntico. Uma variante anatômica encontrada principalmente em segundos molares inferiores é o canal "C-shaped”, assim denominado pela morfologia exibida em corte transversal na forma externa da sua raiz e/ou na arquitetura interna dos condutos. O presente estudo objetiva realizar uma revisão integrativa dos trabalhos publicados acerca das variações anatômicas em molares inferiores, particularmente, a presença de canais C-Shaped. Os levantamentos bibliográficos foram realizados nas bases de dados SCIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), PUBMED (US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health), BIREME e GOOGLE ACADÊMICO. O canal do tipo C-shaped ocorre predominantemente em molares inferiores, e tem maior prevalência na população chinesa e no sexo feminino. Podem ser encontradas limitações ou interferências durante o diagnóstico pelo método radiográfico convencional, sendo o mais indicado a tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico. Existe a necessidade de novas pesquisas dentro do universo de canais em forma de C-shaped, com a finalidade de obter-se mais evidências científicas.

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy seasons (kharif) of 2021 and 2022 at research farm of ICAR- Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study the effect of irrigation regimes and integrated use of prilled urea and nano-urea as a source of N, on productivity and profitability of basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.). The experiment was conducted in a three-time replicated split-plot design (SPD) comprised of 3 irrigation regimes, viz. irrigation at 1, 3 and 6 days after disappearance of surface water (DADSW) assigned to main-plots and 4 N-management variants including; 100% RDN (recommended dose of N, 120 kg/ha); 75% RDN + 4% nano-urea (NU) 2 sprays (75% RDN + 2 NU); 50% RDN + 2 NU; and no-N (control) in sub-plots. Irrigating basmati rice 1 DADSW exhibited the highest panicle weight (2.67–3.09 g) and number of grains/panicle (115.9, 109.8), across the years, respectively that were significantly higher than 3 and 6 DADSW. The most delayed irrigation at 6 DADSW caused significant reduction in grain yield, the magnitude of reduction was 13–19% over irrigation at 3 DADSW and substantially by 23–28% over 1 DADSW. Fertilizing rice crop with 100% RDN and 75% RDN + 2 NU resulted in statistically similar yield attributes and grain yield; however, both were, significantly superior to 50% RDN + 2 NU and no-N. Net returns, benefit cost (B:C) ratio and monetary efficiency were significantly higher when crop was irrigated 1 DADSW than 3 and 6 DADSW. The N-management options followed the trend as RDN>75% RDN + 2 NU ˃50% RDN > no-N for all studied economic parameters.
