Authors: Barros Nathália Castelo Branco , Brito Amanda Karoliny Figueredo , Sousa Caroline de Jesus , De Oliveira Simone Santiago Carvalho , Dos Santos André Luis Souza , E Cruz Maria do Socorro Pires
Published: December 2023

Leishmaniose é causada por protozoários intracelulares do gênero Leishmania que atingem os seres humanos e animais domésticos, em especial os cães. As principais formas clínicas da doença são a tegumentar (LT) e a visceral (LV). A LV é endêmica em mais de 90 países, sendo o cão considerado o principal reservatório urbano da doença, mas que também pode desenvolver doença clínica conhecida como leishmaniose visceral canina (LVC). Conhecer as formas de tratamento e a resistência destes protozoários aos fármacos utilizados nos esquemas terapêuticos é de suma importância para identificar e combater esta doença em escala mundial. A diversidade de medicamentos disponíveis para o tratamento desta enfermidade é limitada, tanto para uso em humanos quanto em animais. Os fármacos disponíveis para o tratamento da leishmaniose possuem efeitos adversos graves, como nefrotoxicidade, bem como a necessidade de administração prolongada, de internação hospitalar para sua administração, além da possibilidade de surgimento de resistência por parte do parasito. Atualmente os insumos para a prevenção e o combate da LVC são coleiras impregnadas com inseticidas e o uso de medicamentos como a miltefosina e o alopurinol. Ainda há relatos de prescrição de medicamentos não autorizados para uso veterinário no Brasil, como anfotericina B e antimoniais pentavalentes, o que pode contribuir com a resistência parasitária. Além desses, na clínica médica veterinária, também é relatada a utilização de antibióticos e tratamento de suporte. Desta forma, torna-se necessária a descoberta de novos compostos com ação anti-Leishmania. O presente trabalho descreve os compostos utilizados para o tratamento da leishmaniose canina no Brasil.
LEGAL ASPECTS OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER IN THE ENERGY SECTOR
Authors: ÖZKARSLIGİL Ayşe Tuğba
Published: December 2023

The energy sector has undergone significant changes in recent decades, marked primarily by the liberalization of markets and the formation of regulatory bodies to facilitate market competition. The sector with greater technological complexity, more rapid changes, and more centralized R&D will tend to be driven more by foreign investors that control technology to be transferred. It is agreed that access to new technologies is a crucial factor in promoting development. Within the energy sector, technology transfer pertains to the transfer of capital goods, expertise, knowledge, and the acquisition of licenses for intellectual property rights. If energy technologies are transferred successfully into developing countries, benefits will accrue for developing countries and thus the world environment. This study considers the role of government policies to promote technology transfer within the energy sector and which of such measures prove to be successful and the leading barriers to transferring technology in developing countries and concludes with several policy recommendations to overcome these barriers.

Amaç: Safra kesesi kanserleri nadir görülen ve tanısı patolojik inceleme ile konulabilen hastalıklardır. Bu çalışmada laparoskopik kolesistektomi yapılan hastalarda rastlantısal safra kesesi kanseri sıklığımızı saptayarak "safra kesesi kanseri insidansını azaltmak için safra kesesi hastalıklarında kolesistektomi endikasyonlarını genişletmeli miyiz?" sorusuna cevap bulmayı amaçladık.
Materyal ve metod: Ocak 2011- Ocak 2023 tarihleri arasında kolesistektomi yapılan hastaların dosyala-rını geriye dönük olarak incelendi. 18 yaş altı , açık kolesistektomi yapılan, ameliyat öncesi tanı alan ve eş zamanlı farklı onkolojik hastalık taşıyan hastalar çalışma dışında bırakıldı. Safra kesesi hastalığı nedeniyle laparoskopik kolesistektomi yapılan 18 yaş üstü hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Rastlantısal olarak safra kesesi kanseri saptanan hastaların demografik verileri, radyolojik incelemeleri, patoloji raporları, evreleri, takip ve tedavi sonuçları kaydedildi.
Bulgular: Belirlenen tarih aralığında kolesistektomi yapılan 4499 hastanın 3324’ü çalışmaya dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılıyordu. Dokuz (%0.27) hastada rastlantısal olarak safra kesesi kanseri tespit edildi. Hastaların 5(%55.5)’i erkekti (E/K:5/4) ve yaş ortalamaları 67.3 (47-78) yıldı. Beş hastaya sadece laparoskopik kolesistektomi yapılırken dört hastaya kolesistektomi sonrasında geniş rezeksiyon sonrası adjuvan kemoterapi verildi. Mortalite oranı %55.5 (n=5)’di.
Sonuç: Safra kesesi kanserlerinde erken evrede yakalanan hastalarda neticeler yüz güldürücüdür. Rastlantısal kanser olasılığı nedeniyle radyolojik inceleme ve histopatolojik değerlendirme itina ile yapılmalıdır. Erken yaşta tanı alan benign hastalıklarda semptomatik olmasa dahi yapılacak erken cerrahi tercihi kanser insidansını azaltabilir.

Published: December 2023

Abstract: Indonesia is the largest democracy in the world, as well as the country with the most followers of Islam. Orientalists consider Islam in Indonesia as Islam that departs from principles that are different from Islam in the Middle East. The persuasive style of Indonesian Islam is due to the process of Islamization that has been carried out. The process of Islamization in the archipelago merged with the local culture. In contrast to the process of Islamization in the Middle East which was dominated by military action. By analyzing various sources, this study concludes that Indonesian Islam is able to contribute to the global world. Indonesian Islam provides an example of the practice of religious pluralism and democracy that go hand in hand. This is because Indonesia made the legality of several religions. In the end, it gave birth to the term Islam Wasatiyah which is the result of the integration of Indonesian Islamic culture. This Islamic movement was initiated by a large Islamic organization in Indonesia. And continue to be introduced in the global realm as a contribution to world civilization.

Forgotten Biological War on the Korean Peninsula – Technical Details
Authors: Supotnitskiy M. V.
Published: December 2023

The use of biological weapons (BW) by the American army during the war on the Korean Peninsula (25.06.1950–27.07.1953) is an almost forgotten episode in the military history of the twentieth century. After the appearance of the first reports about the outbreak of biological warfare, the World Peace Council, at the initiative of the PRC, appointed the special International Scientific Commission for the Investigation of the Facts Concerning Bacterial Warfare in Korea and China (hereinafter – the Commission), which in 1952 prepared the «Report of the International Scientific Commission for the Investigation of the Facts Concerning Bacterial Warfare in Korea and China», (hereinafter – Report). The report has been repeatedly criticized for being prepared by the communists. However, the analysis of this document revealed that there remained a large amount of information that has never been criticized and remained unrefuted by anyone to date. This information is the main subject of our analysis. The purpose of this work is to show how biological warfare has been conducted during the hostilities on the Korean Peninsula in 1952. During the war, the Americans studied the effectiveness of various types of biological munitions: improved Japanese munitions (spreading infected insects and animals), special aerial bombs designed to spray liquid bacterial formulations. Combat aircraft equipped with aerosol generators were used for the first time to spray dry formulations. Water sources have been intentionally infected with pathogens of dangerous diseases. Outbreaks of plague, anthrax, cholera, dysentery and probably other infections have been caused artificially among the Korean and Chinese population. In the United States, many ideas about BW, based on the analysis of the Japanese experience and on their own field experiments in the 1940s, have been revised after the Korean War. The creation of the ammunition for the dissemination of fine aerosols and blood-sucking insects became the main direction of the development of the American BW. The report itself is the first attempt to create a new section of epidemiology – «abnormal epidemiology», i.e. the systems of scientific knowledge that allows the experts to recognize the artificial outbreaks (epidemics) of infectious diseases. Unfortunately, after the war the report was not properly evaluated. It was forgotten for political reasons. Therefore, the work on the creation of this section of epidemiology should be continued on the basis of new knowledge about contemporary biological threats.

Authors: Rizki Eki Frima , Putri Elsi Indah , Simanjuntak James P , Sitanggang Fardiah Tilawati
Published: December 2023

Background: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a disease caused by plaque that accumulates in the coronary arteries, causing narrowing or blockage of blood flow that supplies oxygen (O2) to the heart muscle. Monocytes accumulate in myocardial tissue experiencing hypoxia and play a role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. On the other hand, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is known to reduce the accumulation of macrophages and prevent oxidized cholesterol from entering the artery walls. In the process of healing CHD, the number of monocytes decreases and HDL-cholesterol increases. This study aims to show the potential of the monocyte to HDL Cholesterol ratio as a marker for the prognosis of CHD patients.

Method: This study used a case-control research design with a research sample of 50 CHD patients and 50 MCU patients at Bhayangkara Hospital, Jambi City.

Result: From the results of the examination, the average monocyte cell count was 461.5 cells/μL, HDL-Cholesterol= 48.1 mg/dL and MHR value= 9.6. Meanwhile, in MCU patients, monocytes were 398 cells/μL, HDL-Cholesterol= 50.4 mg/dL and MHR value= 8.1.

Conclusion: The MHR value of CHD patients was significantly higher than that of MCU patients. MHR appears to have good potential in the prognosis of CHD patients.

Published: December 2023

Backgroung: the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity (FI) in the world will reach 2.4 billion people in 2020. Common Mental Disorders (CMDs) affect one in five people, reaching all social classes.
Objective: to examine the associations between CMDs and FI in the most vulnerable population, mothers of young children.
Methods: population-based cross-sectional observational study, interviewing 484 families with children under six years of age, beneficiaries of the cash transfer program Cartão Mais Infância Ceará (CMIC), in 24 municipalities of Ceara. Poisson regression models were used, adjusted for the sampling effect.
Results: 86% of the families were in a situation of FI, with 36% expressing a severe FI, a condition compatible with hunger. In relation to CMDs, it was observed that the prevalence of severe FI increased significantly, affecting 53% of mothers with CMDs against 31% of those without the disorder (p<0.001). Regression analysis showed that CMDs remained the risk factor most associated with severe FI, with mothers with CMDs having a 64% higher adjusted risk compared to other mothers (p=0.002). In the final model, the condition of not having treated water at home was associated with a 55% higher adjusted risk of severe FI (p=0.011), and two factors were close to statistical significance, namely: not feeling safe at home (possibility of domestic violence) and growing edible plants at home, with adjusted measures of 48% risk and 13% protection, respectively.
Conclusion: 13% of this population live with very high rates of severe FI, compatible with hunger, concomitant with CMDs. As aggravating factors of severe FI and CMDs, public social support programs are necessary to have a real positive impact on the quality of life of this population.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Lithiasis is the most common salivary disease in adults. Most salivary stones (80% to 95%) produces in the submandibular gland, 5% to 20% in the parotid gland, while the sublingual gland and minor salivary glands account for no more than 2%. Isolated involvement of one gland is usual. Simultaneous lithiasis of both submandibular glands is less frequent. The objective of this study is to report our experience in the treatment of lithiasis of the bilateral submandibular gland. Observation: Mr. K. M, 68 years old, chronic smoking, consulted in emergency November 2023 at the Mohammed VI Oujda University Hospital, for bilateral submandibular swelling. This swelling has been developing for 10 years and increased in size during meals. The current history dates back to 1 month ago with the increase in the right submandibular mass associated with dysphagia. The clinical examination revealed a right and left submandibular swelling, presence of right inflammatory signs: warm mass, painful on palpation, fixed in the deep plane, with expression of pus from the Wharton orifice. Cervical CT scan injected with contrast product was in favor of bilateral sialadenitis on sialolithiasis complicated by submaxillary abscess on the right. Bilateral submandibulectomy with extraction the calculi is done via an external cervical. No post-operative complications were observed and the patient was discharged from the hospital after two days of hospitalization. Discussion: The family history of sialolithiasis suggests the search for a genetic or familial origin of bilateral lithiasis of the submandibular glands, if there is not an obvious or probable etiology. Conclusion: Bilateral submandibular lithiasis is a rare clinical event but one that must be researsh for even in cases of isolated submandibular lithiasis. Extraction of the calculation is made by radical submaxillectomy by cervical externally, and the results are satisfactory.
The Aqedah (Genesis 22), God’s Promise, and Its Relation to the Post-Pandemic Churches
Authors: Yong Steven
Published: December 2023

Gerhard von Rad’s exegesis on Genesis 22 shows that the test of Abraham or the Aqedah contains a problem of the endangered promise. Isaac was seen as the promised child, the proto-Israel. Hence, there is a dilemma of the endangered people of God if Isaac is sacrificed. So too the church, along with the entire history of salvation, would not exist. Abraham’s experience can serve as a blueprint of how God deals with his church, the Israel of God. It is normal then to ask the follow-ing: How does God deal with his church? Can the church continue to thrive in this post-pandemic era? This paper aims to provide some answers by showing, first of all, that Genesis 22 is a culmination test from the initial calling to Abraham in Genesis 12. This command and the related verbs are then examined in the context of Abraham’s calling from Genesis 12 until the test in Genesis 22. Finally, some spiritual implications and insights are drawn to encourage post-pandemic churches as they journey on with the Lord. As the world grapples with the profound impact of the global health crisis, it is argued that Genesis 22 is not just a problem of an endangered promise, but rather a complex relationship Abraham has between a divine promise that is also entangled with and should be understood in relation to, a divine command, a doubtful and responding faith, and an act of obedience and disobedience. In short, faith indeed is a pilgrimage.

A busca por frutas minimamente processadas está crescendo no Brasil devido aos nutrientes que esses alimentos oferecem e à conveniência para o estilo de vida atual. No entanto, é crucial lembrar que esses alimentos também podem transportar microrganismos causadores de enfermidades, como a Salmonella, sendo, portanto, de grande importância para a saúde pública. Isso posto, objetivou-se com esse estudo avaliar a qualidade microbiológica de frutas minimamente processadas em Sinop, Mato Grosso. Foram examinadas 16 amostras, sendo oito de frutas cortadas individualmente e oito de salada de frutas. Cepas de Salmonella foram identificadas em 31,25% das amostras (5/16), considerando-as inadequadas para consumo humano conforme legislação brasileira vigente (Instrução Normativa nº 60, de 23 de dezembro de 2019). Ao analisar separadamente, 12,5% (1/8) das frutas cortadas apresentaram Salmonella, enquanto 50% (4/8) das saladas de frutas continham esse microrganismo. Estatisticamente, foram observadas diferenças discerníveis entre esses grupos denominados "frutas cortadas em um único fragmento" e as amostras de "salada de frutas", permitindo inferir que a salada de frutas apresenta uma probabilidade substancialmente maior de conter Salmonella do que as frutas cortadas em um único fragmento. Esses dados ressaltam a importância de fortalecer as boas práticas na produção e manipulação de frutas minimamente processadas comercializadas em Sinop, Mato Grosso, especialmente durante a elaboração de saladas de frutas. Além disso, é recomendado que a vigilância sanitária contribua com a ratificação da segurança durante as etapas de produção, e, quando necessário, adote as mediadas cabíveis visando reduzir e mitigar os riscos quanto ao consumo de frutas minimamente processadas comercializadas no município.

Published: December 2023

Finishing and hardening treatment by reversible surface plastic deformation of cylindrical parts is considered. By computational modeling in the ANSYS program, a finite element model is built to determine the temperature in the deformation zone depending on the parameters of the processing mode, and their influence is determined. A critical temperature is established, the excess of which reduces temporary and residual stresses.

Keywords: reversible surface plastic deformation, two-radius roller, computational modeling, temperature, deformation zone.

With the help of acoustic emission (AE), three zones of structural transformations of the structural material of the wingbox are diagnosed, two of which were located along the boundaries of the stringer delamination zone, the third — near the edge of the technological window. The application of the developed methodology for monitoring the dynamics of changes in the weight content of location pulses in the lower, middle, and upper energy clusters made it possible to control the kinetics of micro-, meso-, and macrodamages in the wingbox loading mode and to evaluate the structural stability of the structural material in the region of coordinate location of AE sources.

Authors: Edison A. Tamayo
Published: December 2023

The paper looks into the factors that impact undergraduate accounting students decision to pursue a professional accounting career and how that decision is influenced by their study habits, attitudes toward professional exams like the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam, and future plans to become accounting professionals. Questionnaires are a key component of the studys data collection strategy because it employs a survey methodology. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient analysis techniques were applied to a total of 107 undergraduate accounting students from Laguna State Polytechnic University - Santa Cruz Campus in order to analyze the study objectives. Findings demonstrated that holding a professional license and passing the professional examination in one sitting motivate students to seek careers in professional accounting. The students perspective on a career in professional accounting was similarly collaborative and communication-based, and it demonstrated how important it is to develop qualities like responsibility and accountability in order to succeed as a professional accountant. Results also demonstrated a strong positive link between social factors and students intentions to take the professional examination and pursue careers in accounting. In order to encourage, assist, and motivate accounting students to strive for professionalism, this research suggests that educational institutions, accounting professional bodies, and career counselors all play important roles.

Accordingly, ensuring financial stability is linked to enterprises' potential to strengthen and expand their production, resource, and financial capabilities. Since the financial potential does not exist by itself but is part of the economic potential of an enterprise, it is essential to consider it not as an isolated value but as a component of a system that affects the development of an enterprise and is subject to the influence of all factors, both internal and external. The article aims to disclose the scientific concepts of managing the financial potential of an enterprise. It is substantiated that an enterprise's successful use of financial capabilities increases its value in the market. This signals investors, creditors, shareholders, government agencies, and other stakeholders about the attractiveness of investing in this enterprise and its financial capacity. An algorithm for assessing the financial potential of an enterprise, consisting of six stages, is presented. Methods of management of the financial potential of the enterprise are allocated, in particular, methods of formation of financial potential, rational use of financial resources, control over financial potential, and methods of regulation. It is determined that to increase the financial potential, it is necessary to use an effective tool for managing the financial activities of an enterprise - a financial strategy that should be aimed at achieving the overall goals of enterprise development in the context of significant changes in macroeconomic indicators, the system of state regulation of market processes, the financial market and significant instability. A strategy for managing the financial potential of an enterprise has been built, the primary purpose of which is to ensure the efficient use of financial resources to achieve the enterprise's strategic goals.

An exploratory study on biocompatible Ti-6Mn-4Mo alloy manufactured by directed energy deposition
Authors: Savinov Roman , Wang Yachao , Shi Jing
Published: December 2023

Titanium is a widely used metal in biomedical applications due to its low toxicity, but its mechanical properties need to be tailored for different applications. Efforts are called for to search for effective and yet non-toxic elements to be alloyed with Ti to improve its strength. Fitting in this category, Mn and Mo are two such alloying elements. In this study, Ti-6Mn-4Mo alloy was manufactured by laser-directed energy deposition (DED) through in situ alloying of Ti, Mn, and Mo elemental powders. This study was intended to not only demonstrate for the first time the printability of the Ti-Mn-Mo ternary system by laser DED but also investigate the basic mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the obtained alloy. Under the as-built condition, the alloy consisted mainly of ß phase, while after heat treatment it was transformed into α phase. The average ultimate tensile strength under as-built condition was 706.0 MPa, lower than similar alloys from conventional methods. However, the average hardness reached 421.1 HV for the as-built condition, much higher than the similar alloys made through conventional methods. On the other hand, the corrosion resistance of the obtained alloy was found to be relatively low compared to similar alloys produced with traditional methods. In addition, heat treatment was not able to significantly change the tensile properties or the corrosion resistance. In essence, the exploratory study indicates that the DED-produced Ti-Mn-Mo alloy could be deposited without cracks and major voids, and shows that its high hardness and modulus are attractive to applications for high wear resistance. However, further investigation is needed to improve strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance of the alloy.
