Effect of Pre-Hydrolysis Reaction Conditions on Xylooligosaccharides Extraction in Eucalyptus Globulus
Authors: Cunha André , Simões Rogério
Published: August 2022

Pre-hydrolysis-kraft of Eucalyptus globulus by autohydrolysis (batch) and with dilute acid hydrolysis (flow-through reactor) were explored in this study, to examine the recovery of xylooligosaccharides (XOs) from the pre-hydrolysis treatment. The results of this work support the potential reuse of the hydrolysate to increase the recovery yield of added value compounds. The pH of the dilute acid hydrolysis was maintained at 3.5 with acetic acid, to mimic the conditions of the batch reactor medium (autohydrolysis). An increase of XOs recovered was evident when the pre-treatment was in the flow-through reactor instead of the batch reactor. In the latter, a high concentration of furfural was recovered, showing the influence of time in XO conversion through hydrolysis. The total yield of pulp was higher in the flow-through reactor (36.4%) in comparison with the batch system (34.5%) after kraft pulping, which was expected, given the increasing time that the hydrolysate was present in the reactor; however, the difference was small and could have been the result of precipitated compounds in the latter, so this needs further analysis.

Authors: Moreira Joana , Lopes Catarina , Lis Arias Manuel-José , Silva Lúcia , Curto Joana
Published: August 2022

The goal of this research was the development of cellulose-based biodegradable drug delivery systems solutions for cosmetic mask applications. Cellulose-based materials derived from natural renewable sources provide a sustainable alternative to nonwoven cosmetic masks derived from nondegradable fossil-based raw materials. An experimental design was executed to assemble the 3D cellulose fibres matrix and the water in oil emulsion comprising the active molecules from Mentha piperita L. Two types of biopolymeric additives were used, one derived from a nano/micro fibrillated cellulose pulp and another one including chitosan. A 3D computational simulation study was performed to enhance porosity and strength properties. The results indicated that the cosmetic face mask optimized prototypes, made from a biodegradable 3D matrix of cellulose fibres and active molecules, are suitable for dermic use.

Background & Aim: Evening primrose is a medicinal plant with potential effects on labor. This study aimed to compare the effects of vaginal and oral evening primrose oil on cervical ripening and labor progress among primiparous women.
Methods & Materials: This single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in 2020. Participants were 126 pregnant women with a gestational age of 39 weeks purposively selected from the obstetrics and gynecology ward of Valiasr hospital, Bafgh, Iran, and randomly allocated to vaginal evening primrose oil, oral evening primrose oil, and a control group. Participants in the vaginal evening primrose oil and the oral evening primrose oil groups received one 1000-mg evening primrose oil capsule per twelve hours for one whole week through the vaginal and the oral routes, respectively. The Bishop score and pregnancy outcomes were measured when participants referred to the study setting with labor pains.
Results: After the intervention, the Bishop score in both intervention groups was significantly greater than the control group (P= 0.001). The length of the second stage of labor in the vaginal evening primrose oil group was significantly shorter than the control group (P= 0.009). There were no significant differences among the groups respecting the time interval between hospital admission and delivery (P= 0.21), 1 and 5-minute Apgar scores (P= 0.83), and (P= 0.37), need for induction (P= 0.26), and type of delivery (P= 0.26).
Conclusion: Vaginal and oral evening primrose oil administrations significantly positively affect cervical ripening. The Bishop score and vaginal evening primrose oil significantly positively affect the length of the second stage of labor.
The Art of Healing, More than Science, More than Practice
Authors: Marinescu Adina
Published: August 2022

Traditionally, medicine has been considered a practical art. It seeks the patient’s well-being through technical means and specific skills in healing. On the other hand, healing means are connected to the life sciences, through which knowledge has developed systematically. Due to research and technological development, we can easily reveal the true meaning of medicine as science. Hippocratic practice and Aristotelian ethics have offered us a humanitarian approach, oriented to the sick person, which set the virtuous human character of each person who practices the virtues. The medicine people approached to the medicine preserving an ancient picture of the practice. They have know-how of the practice, recognize the characteristics of each field of art or science appreciating its utility and benefits, but often they don’t know why or where the boundary between the two fields, science and art, falls. They are scientists and artists, too. In this article I intend to fix what science means and what art means, based on Aristotelian arguments, which lead to a perspective of a virtuous professional life. Also, it is relevant to find its common issues. No physicians can successfully practice their profession without respecting the rigor of science and training their creativity. I plead for a moral practice, for the understanding of humanity's state in any medical act. Medicine is the moral community where practice meets science and arts merge both. Medicine is not between practice and science; it is the art itself of medical practice and science.

Authors: Tiurina Alona , Nahornyi Vitalii , Ruban Olha , Tymoshenko Mykola , Vedenieiev Vitalii , Terentieva Nataliia
Published: August 2022

In a post-industrial society, the analysis of human abilities to work, their formation, reproduction and effective functioning is becoming increasingly important for achieving social and economic well-being. In the realities of globalization and total informatization, the figure of a person with his knowledge, creative and intellectual abilities comes to the fore. There is a reorientation of economics from the use of labor resources to the problems of creating a qualitatively new workforce, which takes the form of human capital.

The concept of human capital testifies not only to the crucial role of man in the socio-economic system of post-industrial society, but also the need to invest in man, his education, training, health and livelihood, which are now priorities not only for individuals but also various government projects and programs. The state of human capital development is measured using the human capital index, which is calculated for each country separately.

 In contrast to other studies, the article focuses on the development and importance of human capital in the realities of post-industrial society. Namely, the concept of human capital in the realities of post-industrial society is considered, the state of human capital development in modern conditions is analyzed, the influence and challenges of post-industrial society on human capital development are studied and the method of comparative analysis is applied.

Published: August 2022

Convivemos, atualmente, com uma série de desequilíbrios ambientas causados por atividades antrópicas o que incentiva a presença da Educação Ambiental nos diferentes níveis de ensino. Partindo do pressuposto que o professor é um mediador das reflexões sobre os desafios socioambientais promovidas no ambiente escolar, entende-se que a formação inicial desse profissional deve oferecer os subsídios para este fim. Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma investigação relacionada a abordagem da temática ambiental nos cursos de licenciatura vinculados ao Instituto de Ciências Exatas, Naturais e Educação da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro. Para a análise desses projetos, foi desempenhada uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa nos Projetos Pedagógicos Curriculares dos cursos de licenciatura do ICENE e foram realizadas entrevistas com os coordenadores desses cursos. Para a análise dos dados foram utilizados os procedimentos propostos pela Análise de Conteúdo de Laurence Bardin. Diante disso, foi possível compreender as perspectivas distintas de cada curso a respeito da Temática Ambiental, sendo os mesmos organizados em três categorias que indicam a forma segundo a qual o tema é abordado nos cursos. Conclui-se que não existe uma maneira pré-determinada para trabalhar a Educação Ambiental na formação inicial dos professores, pois cada curso adequa esse tema à sua realidade curricular e a suas particularidades. Entretanto, compreende-se a importância de realizar uma conscientização crítica e que fuja dos padrões deterministas, abordando a temática ambiental de maneira transversal, articulada com as discussões comuns do curso, visando a formação do professor crítico e consciente do seu papel enquanto educador.

Some Long-Run Correlations of Inflation in Developed Countries
Authors: West Kenneth D. , Cao Tu
Published: August 2022

Using 100+ years of data from 18 developed countries, we use a frequency domain technique to compute “long-run” correlations between inflation on the one hand and money growth and nominal interest rates on the other. The estimated long-run correlations are almost always positive. Their magnitude is relatively substantial for money growth, more modest for interest rates. We conclude that some traditional propositions about monetary neutrality are broadly consistent with the data.
Teacher education students’ assessment of modular distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Peteros Emerson
Published: August 2022

This research investigated the teacher education students’ assessment of modular distance learning (MDL) during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic using a descriptive comparative research design. There were 295 respondents who are taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics in a state university. The respondents were identified using stratified random sampling. They answered a four-part survey questionnaire that assessed their profile, perception, benefits and challenges they encountered while learning through MDL. The results showed that they have a positive perception of MDL. At the same time, they found this modality to be beneficial. However, they often encountered the challenges that MDL brings. Moreover, there is a significant difference in the students’ perception, benefits and challenges that MDL brings when grouped according to their year level. Thus, it is recommended that school administrators and teachers consider students’ diversity relative to their needs and provide other instructional support while students are engaging in MDL.

Flour modifications can be conducted to expand its utilization into processed products. This research aimed to study the effect of physical and biological modification on the physicochemical properties of canistel (Pouteria campechiana) flour. The research method included making canistel flour unmodified (native), physical modification using heat moisture treatment (HMT) method, and biological modification by fermentation. Physical properties analysis included color and morphology of starch granules, while chemical analysis included water content, total sugar content, starch content, amylose content, and amylopectin content. The data were analyzed statistically using One Way ANOVA and continued with the Duncan post hoc test. Statistical analysis showed that modification of canistel flour could decrease brightness and increase a value and decrease b value. Native, HMT-modified, and fermented-modified canistel flour had colors of incarnation, rose pink, and fresh plaster, respectively. In addition, the fermented modified canistel flour tends to have higher total sugar content, although the HMT modified flour tends to decrease compared to the native canistel flour. Modified canistel flour tends to have lower starch, amylose, and amylopectin content than native flour. Morphologically, modifications to canistel flour have no effect on flour morphology.

INVESTIGASI LISTRIK MIKROHIDRO DI PERKEBUNAN GUNUNG PASANG KECAMATAN PANTI, JEMBER
Authors: Rahmanto Dedy Eko , Wibowo Michael Joko , Fahriannur Ahmad , Ghofur Abdul
Published: August 2022

Gunung Pasang plantation has a micro-hydro power plant which is used for electricity needs of the factory and the surrounding residents. The micro-hydro power plant is not equipped with an electronic load controller system. The micro-hydro electric voltage can change at any time if there are some changes in consumer load. Micro-hydro electricity investigation is needed to determine the feasibility of the micro-hydro electricity. The investigation was carried out by recording the micro-hydro electricity data which is produced in Gunung Pasang Plantation. Data recording is done by installing a power logger while the micro-hydro turbine operates. The results of the investigation showed that the electric voltage which is generated by Gunung Pasang micro-hydro was fluctuating from less than 100 volts to more than 245 volts with a voltage value that deviated a lot from the 1995 SPLN rule. The average daily voltage which was generated was around 150.34 to 172.18 volts with a standard deviation of 22.11 to 30.67 volts. Micro-hydro operators tried to regulate the work of micro-hydro turbines at all times so the generated voltage could reach the stability. This unstable electrical condition was actually not feasible and had possibility to cause damage to consumer’s electrical equipment. It was necessary to have an electronic load controller system so the outcome of the micro-hydro voltage could be stable and safe.

Celem badań jest ocena jurysdykcji Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego (dalej: NSA) w zakresie dopuszczalności transkrypcji zagranicznych aktów urodzenia par jednopłciowych. Praca zawiera analizę stanowiska NSA oraz poszczególnych organów administracji publicznej pod kątem rozwiązań prawnych de lege lata oraz bada skutki wyroków dla praktyki administracyjnej. Zostaje przestawiona instytucja strategicznej litygacji jako sposobu oddolnej zmiany prawa lub praktyki sądowej dla prawidłowej realizacji standardów ochrony praw człowieka w państwie, w którym legislatywa pomija te problemy. Ponadto w pracy omawia się wyroki z uwzględnieniem kontekstu pozaprawnego i przedstawia tło społeczne omawianych rozstrzygnięć. W końcu zostaje dokonana ocena różnych rozwiązań dotyczących transkrypcji zagranicznych aktów urodzenia zaproponowanych przez orzecznictwo i doktryny pod kątem faktycznej ochrony praw człowieka. Tekst udowadnia, że strategiczna litygacja, choć jest instrumentem niezwykle pomocnym w nagłaśnianiu problemu, niewiele może zdziałać, gdy środowisko polityczne pozostaje krytyczne wobec postulowanych zmian.
Skutki strategicznej litygacji. Sprawa „stref wolnych od LGBT”
Authors: Kauczor Wojciech , Skoczke Jakub
Published: August 2022

Rządy populistów kreują polityczne zaplecze naruszeń praw mniejszości. W związku z tym niektóre polskie jednostki samorządu terytorialnego przyjęły uchwały o ogłoszeniu się tak zwanymi strefami wolnymi od LGBT. Wywołało to opór społeczny i doprowadziło do zaskarżenia tych uchwał przez Rzecznika Praw Obywatelskich do sądów administracyjnych. Ponadto, szeroki zakres środków pozaprawnych został wykorzystany przez wiele organizacji pozarządowych wspierających osoby LGBT, aby wpłynąć na media, społeczeństwo i samorządy celem odrzucenia tych uchwał. Autorzy opisują ten proces i badają rolę Rzecznika Praw Obywatelskich w nim w kontekście strategicznej litygacji.

The Concept of De-Sublation and the Regressive Process in History: Prolegomena
Authors: Leder Andrzej
Published: August 2022

I start the analysis with probably the strongest historiography of progress—the Hegelian philosophy. Then I discuss the dynamics of the “conceptual engine” of the theory of progress in Hegel—the concept of sublation. This analysis will make apparent that the Hegelian approach gives us not only a general “historiosophy” of progress, but above all a precise conceptual—even logical— tool, engine, device; thus productively mediatizing contradictions and conditioning the possibility of progress as such. In search of the general “historiography” of regress, I then turn towards psychoanalytical theory. In the psychoanalytical horizon of Freud and Lacan, I introduce a conceptual instrument forged on the basis of the Hegelian sublation—the concept of de-sublation. It will appear as the sought after “conceptual device” of the general theory of regress. We will see how the de-sublation of the previously sublated whole produces two independent conceptual entities, gathered around the moments of the universal and the singular.
The Slave, Antigone and the Housewife: Hegel’s Dialectics of the Weak
Authors: Majewska Ewa
Published: August 2022

This article moves across the wide spectrum of feminist interpretations of Hegel, starting with Carla Lonzi and revisiting the queer analysis of Judith Butler, in order to re-interpret the famous figure of “Unhappy Consciousness.” From a feminist perspective, these passages in Phenomenology of Spirit should be read as a re-evaluation of the care and reproductive labour, which the Subject experiences as miserably repetitive and mundane, at the stage of dialectics focused on symbolic realm of recognition. The dialectics of the weak can be established based on an in-depth re-evaluation of the material, life maintaining activities traditionally neglected in the discussions of Hegel’s legacy. Here these marginalized elements of the Subject’s lived experience are taken into account, thus allowing the introduction of the Housewife into the dialectical process.

Authors: Van der Woude Lucas H. V. , Cowan Rachel E. , Goosey-Tolfrey Vicky , Chénier Félix , Arnet Ursina , Vegter Riemer J. K.
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: This current opinion is a call for standardization of measurements of manual wheeling ability among larger and diverse populations to support our understanding of motor control and learning.
VIEW OF THE PAST: Handrim wheelchair propulsion remains the most common mode of wheeled ambulation and has stood the test of time as a practical upper-body alternative to walking.
CURRENT STATE: Two theoretical models appeared useful in understanding the demands on the wheelchair-user combination and the role of motor skill acquisition: Power Balance Model and Constraint-based Approach.
FUTURE PERSPECTIVE: Power output and energy cost measures are crucial mediators in the development of a motor control theory of cyclic motions in rehabilitation, adapted sports and beyond.
