Published: May 2020

To identity iodine, assessits concentration and analyse the variation of this concentration following the ripeness stages, its titrating from Capsicum annuum L. dried fruit extract by sodium thiosulfate and starch solution test were achieved. Small and big Capsicum annuum cultivars were planted according to completely randomised design onto eight rows with eight seedlings whose four was useful. One-factor Anova incorporating the means comparison according to Student-Newman-Keulsâ€™ test at 5% level was applied. Likewise, Pearsonâ€™s linear correlation at 1â€°00 probability was used. Results shown that small and big Capsicum annuum L. cultivars contained iodine. People should consum Capsicum annuum L. fruits to avoid goiter. Other animal and plant foods also contain iodine. Iodine concentration discriminated the fruit ripeness stages in small Capsicum annuum L. cultivar. At the pre-ripeness stage (PMG), iodine concentration was higher than the ripe one (MG). Consequently, the consumption of its fruits is recommended at pre-ripeness stage to optimise the ingesting of iodine. In the same way, iodine concentration of small Capsicum annuum L. cultivar at pre-ripeness stage was significantly higher than the big one. At such phenological stage it will be advised people to eat small Capsicum annuum L. fruit than the big one when fruit changes. Duration of "sowing-flowering", "sowing-fruit set" and "sowing-fructification" in small Capsicum annuum L. cultivar was shorter than in the big one. Such shorter duration of small Capsicum annuum L. will allow the early obtention of its fruits than those from the big one and thus, their early selling.Â Â

Research has been carried out on the use of cocoa pod husks for making liquid smoke. Liquid smoke is the result of condensation from direct or indirect combustion vapors from materials that contain lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and other carbon compounds. This research was conducted to determine the effect of liquid smoke from cocoa pod husk on the germination of red chilli seeds (Capsicum annuum L). The first stage of this research is the manufacture of liquid smoke from the cocoa pod husk using pyrolyzer. The resulting liquid smoke is subjected to chemical and physical quality testing, and is applied as a liquid fertilizer for red chilli seeds (Capsicum annuum L). The test results of making liquid smoke from the cocoa pod husk showed that the yield of liquid smoke produced was 19%. The results of the analysis of the chemical quality of liquid smoke in the third grade by using GCMS detected 30 chemical components, the main component as a liquid smoke characteristic is acetic acid, phenol, carbamic acid compounds. The results of the physical quality analysis of liquid smoke show a very strong smell, reddish brown, and black sediment in the form of tar. The results of the testing of liquid smoke on the germination of red chilli seeds showed that the concentration of liquid smoke (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4% , 4.5% and 5%) have a very significant effect on the maximum growth potential and germination of red chili seeds (Capsicum annum L).

Published: May 2020

This investigative study aimed to assess the antifungal potential of Trichoderma viride and Penicillium chrysogenum isolated from Moringa oleifera rhizosphere against spoilage fungi of Citrus sinensis, as well as evaluate their phytochemical profile.Â  The bio-agents (T. viride and P. chrysogenum) and the Citrus sinensis spoilage fungi were isolated following standard microbiological protocols. Initial in-vitro screening of the isolated bio-agents against the citrus pathogens in the confrontational assay was done. Phytochemical screening and antifungal activity of metabolites produced by the bioagents against the pathogens were also investigated. The inhibitory concentration (minimum/maximum: MIC and MFC) of the bioagent metabolites on the citrus pathogens was also assessed. The isolation screening investigation indicated that citrus pathogens isolated were P. digitatum, A. wenti, C. tropicalis and F. oxysporum and that P. digitatum had the highest frequency (43 %) of occurrence. The results also revealed that T. viride and P. chrysogenum significantly inhibited the pathogens on petri-plates using dual-confrontational assay. The phytochemical profile of the bioagents indicated there were flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, phenols, alkaloids, tannins, saponins and steroids present. Metabolites of the bioagents against the pathogens indicated that T. viride recorded the highest MIC against Fusarium oxysporum77Â±1.0and the highest MFC against Aspergillus wentti 97Â±1.0. Also, P. chrysogenum recorded the highest MIC against Fusarium oxysporum 59Â±1.0 and the highest MFC against Fusarium oxysporum74.33Â±1.52. This study indicated the antagonistic potentials of using Trichoderma viride and Penicillium chrysogenum in controlling pathogens of citrus sinensis and this could be exploited further in formulating biopesticides to improve post-harvest qualities of Citrus.
Brazilian Perspectives: Society, Stratification and Income Distribution
Authors: Leite Ivonaldo
Published: May 2020

This paper aims to present a general evaluation on the inequality, income distribution and social mobility in Brazil between 2002 and 2014, under the governments of the Workers' Party. In this way, from the methodological point view, it is based on both a review of the literature about that subject and an investigation of the primary sources of the Brazilian social policies. Among the results found out, it can be highlighting the following sample: 1) historically, Brazilian society has been marked by inequality in several ways, and this is probably a consequence of his colonial legacy; 2) In the period between 2002 and 2014, Brazilian social inequality declined; 3) the decline of inequality can be explained by income growth, higher schooling levels and labor formalization, but the targeted social program, Bolsa FamÃ­lia, also contributed to income convergence; 4) Brazil slashed poverty from 25 percent of the population in 2004 to 8.5 percent in 2014, and extreme poverty declined from 12 to 4 percent over the same period. Conclusively, itâ€™s affirmed, for example, that the reduction of inequality in Brazil was the result of firm political decisions, as well as of the quality in management and implementation of the public policies by the technical teams.

Authors: Surkov N. Yu.
Published: May 2020

The article deals with authoritarian regimes based on charismatic leadership which can be also called caesarean. It analyzes the existing caesarean regimes of the Middle East and North Africa: their nature (progressive vs. conservative), characteristic features and prospects of their evolution. To achieve this goal the author uses a synthetic analytical approach based on ideas of Max Weber and Antonio Gramshi. This approach includes analysis of a number of key factors, such as conditions for eruption of a charismatic leader (‘Caesar’), sources of legitimization, mechanisms of control and power transit, progressive or conservative nature of the regime, potential for turning the caesarean regime into a permanent one based on tradition of charismatic rule. The main conclusion of the paper is that the Middle East and North Africa are witnessing the arrival of the third generation of charismatic leaders, who will follow conservative instead of progressive agenda. On the regional scale it will bring relative stability to international relations (at least among the Arab states) while at domestic level the pressure of unresolved political, economic and social problems will be mounting resulting in a new wave of revolutions and instability in the midterm.

Published: May 2020

This study is a small-scale study of item analysis of a teacher’s own-made summative test. It examines the quality of multiple-choice items in terms of the difficulty level, the discriminating power, and the effectiveness of distractors. The study employed a qualitative approach which also used a simple quantitative analysis to analyze the quality of the test items through the document analysis of the teacher’s English summative test and the students’ answer sheets.  The result shows that the summative test has more easy items than difficult items with the ratio of 19:25:6 while they should be 1:2:1 for easy, medium, and difficult.  In terms of the Discriminating Power, there are 3, 13, and 16 for excellent, Good, and satisfactory level, but there are 17 and 2 for poor and bad levels of Discriminating Power.  There are 43 (21.5%) of all distractors which are dysfunctional which, in turns, makes the items too easy which also makes the items fail to discriminate the upper-group students from the lower ones. Therefore, the 43 dysfunctional distractors should be revised to alter the difficulty level and improve the discriminating power.  This research is expected to serve as a reflective means for teachers to examine their own-made test to ensure the quality of their test items.

Smoking Cessation Considerations for People with Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Brooker Christian , Goldman Myla , Tingen Sharon
Published: May 2020

Background: Comprehensive care of people with multiple sclerosis integrates disease modifying therapy, symptom management and minimization of risk factors for disease progression. Cigarette smoking is a modifiable risk factor associated with development and progression of disease and increased disability. However, little is known about specific factors that affect smoking cessation in patients with multiple sclerosis or how to integrate smoking cessation into specialized multiple sclerosis care.

Methods: Twenty-nine active smokers with multiple sclerosis were surveyed at the James Q. Miller Multiple Sclerosis clinic at the University of Virginia Health. Demographics, smoking history, multiple sclerosis history, interest in quitting, barriers to quitting and cessation modalities of interest were collected, specifically interest in working with a clinical pharmacist for cessation.

Results: Seventy-six percent of individuals believed that there was no relationship between smoking and MS diagnosis and 52% were unaware of any relationship between smoking and disease progression. Less than half of patients (41%) reported receiving counseling from a primary care physician or neurologist about the importance of smoking cessation. Common barriers to quitting included enjoyment of smoking (76%) and cravings (55%). Seventy-six percent of patients expressed interest in utilizing pharmacotherapy and 37% were interested in working closely with a clinical pharmacist.

Conclusions: It is critical that providers caring for patients with multiple sclerosis assess smoking status and educate smokers about the relationship between smoking and disease progression. Efforts should be made to better understand patient-specific barriers to quitting and preferred methods of treatment, including pharmacotherapy and behavioral therapy. A multidisciplinary approach to smoking cessation that includes a clinical pharmacist may aid in the development of individualized care plans with frequent monitoring to improve patient success.

O estágio é um momento importante no processo de formação profissional, em que o aluno tem a oportunidade de vivenciar e aperfeiçoar seus conhecimentos entre a teoria e a prática. Desse modo, o estudo teve como objetivo relatar as experiências dos estudantes do curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física durante as regências do Estágio Curricular Supervisionado no Ensino Fundamental I. O campo dessa experiência foi a escola de Ensino Fundamental localizada no município de Iguatu-Ce. Ao ser realizada uma avaliação diagnóstica do perfil dos alunos, bem como ao considerar o plano de ensino do professor preceptor, foram selecionados os conteúdos a serem desenvolvidos nas regências, sendo eles: ginástica, atletismo, jogos e brincadeiras, danças e lutas. Tais conteúdos se encontram em conformidade com os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) da Educação Física e a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). As experiências vivenciadas possibilitaram aos acadêmicos a articulação com a teoria estudada nas disciplinas do curso, e esclarecer muitas dúvidas, entre elas, podendo ser destacado o aperfeiçoamento na elaboração dos planos de aula, o relacionamento que foi criado com os alunos, assim como o acolhimento e aprendizado dos profissionais da escola. Acreditamos que as atividades realizadas, além de promover as práticas esportivas, também contribuíram para melhorar as relações interpessoais e o respeito às diversidades.
