Formation of Students’ Legal Consciousness and Civic Position in Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Abakumova I. V. , Matveeva O. A.
Published: July 2023

Introduction.The principles and values, which form and keep functioning the civil society, should be a priority for all the present and future generations of citizens of the country. At the same time, the theoretical understanding of these categories should be backed up by their practical implementation. Therefore, the article aims at conducting the experimental pedagogical study of the problematic aspects of legal consciousness development for enabling a comprehensive assessment of the civic position maturity level of higher education teachers and students.

Materials and Methods.The pedagogical activity management process in a Higher Education Institution and the work of tutors served the material for the present research. The research was conducted using a set of general scientific and specific scientific methods targeted at analysis and systematisation of the relevant materials, as well as at practical and experimental investigation.

Results.The content of educators’ and students’ work on development of self-consciousness was considered during both in-class and extracurricular activities. Among the fundamental principles of the pedagogical activity management, the principles of legal consciousness and citizenship, democracy, as well as tolerance and civic actions engagement experience were defined. The features of tutors' work targeted at students’ legal consciousness and civic position formation were also analysed. In addition, the article focused at the need to form and strengthen partnerships with the general public, educational institutions, authorities and business.

Discussion and Conclusions.The manageability of the civic self-consciousness development process has been revealed as the main result of the authors’ analytical research. The essential pedagogical requirements for this process have been distinguished: setting up interaction among all participants of this process both during educational as well as extracurricular activities, considering student professional training specifics and involvement of the general public into the process of self-consciousness development. The need to sensitize the teaching methods fostering students’ legal consciousness and citizenship formation has also been mentioned among the pedagogical requirements. The efficiency has been proved of setting up the temporary pedagogical communities of experts working directly with students and elaborating the specialised approaches designated to form the above-mentioned qualities in students through promotion of the special topics and issues within the curricula courses, the study of which can multiply the efficiency of the civil legal consciousness development efforts. The tutor activities programme aimed at students’ civic position formation has been worked out and suggested; step-by-step monitoring of students’ civic position formation process has also been envisaged.

Remote Sensing Detection and Resource Utilisation of Urban Sewage Sludge Based on Mobile Edge Computing
Authors: Hu Weijie , Zhou Youfei , Lu Junying , Sheng Jun , Jin Zechen
Published: July 2023

Improper disposal of municipal sewage sludge poses a significant threat to effective environmental protection. With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), remote sensing detection technology is emerging as a promising research avenue to address this issue. However, the current state of real-time detection technology is inadequate, hindering comprehensive and stable monitoring operation. Additionally, the rational use of network resources remains suboptimal. To address this challenge, this study proposes a resource optimisation technology for the current insufficient intelligent monitoring system of urban sewage sludge. By leveraging IoT and wireless technology, water meter data can be collected with minimal earth construction compared to traditional PLC collection. This is followed by utilising Faster R-CNN to plan the network transmission of sewage remote sensing information resources. Finally, the architecture collection module’s scalability is enhanced by incorporating edge computing and reserving sensor ports to meet future plant expansion demands. The experiment demonstrates the significant potential of this technology in application and resource optimisation. In actual parameter tracking tests, the proposed method effectively monitors sewage sludge, providing policy guidance and measure optimisation for relevant authorities, ultimately contributing to pollution-free urban development.

Authors: Trofimenko IU. V. , Komkov V. I.
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The results of forecast estimation of the number, structure of the Russian motor vehicle fleet by type of power units and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions up to 2050 are presented, taking into account the update of the initial data used in the calculations and the assumption that it will be decided to stop production of passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting from 2045. Materials and methods. The forecast of the level of motorization, the number of vehicle fleet by type of power plant and fuel type, environmental class were estimated taking into account the renewal of the fleet, the balance of supply and disposal of ATVs. These data are given in the forms of state statistical reporting, long-term strategies of transport industry development, partly generated by researchers themselves. The Copert 5 methodology was also used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions.Results. Compared to earlier projections, the value of total GHG emissions of the vehicle fleet in 2050 according to the current projection will be about the same as in 2045, i.e. will be 5 years behind. Discussion and conclusions. In the near term, the rate of decarbonization of road transport in Russia may slow down significantly. Vehicles with internal combustion engines using hydrocarbon fuels (liquid, gaseous) will still dominate the vehicle fleet by 2050.
Correspondence distribution over a network in designing public urban passenger transportation tasks
Authors: Fadeev A. I. , Iliankov A. M. , Ukaderov V. V.
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The process of planning public transport is divided into a few number of tasks in strategic, tactical and operational levels, which include the development route system, the establishment of traffic intensity along routes, the design of the structure of road transport vehicles, the distribution of the current road transport vehicles along the routes, determining the required amount of the subsidies, etc. Materials and methods. The article presents a multi-criteria mathematical model of transportation design, according to which the tasks have been solved by distributing (limited or unlimited) transport resources between the permissible routes of the transport network in accordance with a variety of efficiency criteria, which can be the subject to appropriate restrictions. The formation acceptable routes on the transport network can be carried out by means of the algorithms developed, for example, in the framework of solving TNDP and TNDFSP tasks. The routes can also be adjusted by experts. Transport demand is set by a matrix of passenger correspondence generated for the entire period of traffic on a weekday, to ensure that all passenger flows along the route network are taken into account, and not only the periods of the greatest traffic intensity. The calculation of the parameters of the transport offer in the process of solving the problems of transportation design is carried out based on the results of the passenger correspondence distribution on the route network (PAP), which is a complex problem unsolved today. The article describes the developed PAP methodology based on a flexible passenger strategy that takes into account the waiting time for transport, the proximity of the route through an empirical model of dividing demand by the length of trips, the preferences of transport modes, the possible redistribution of passenger flows between the stopping points of the network located within a walking distance. Results. The tasks of designing public transport transportation have been formulated, a multi-criteria mathematical model of their solution has been developed. The method of distribution of passenger flows on the route network based on a flexible passenger strategy has been described. The effectiveness of the developed PAP methodology is shown on test calculations, which were carried out using passenger correspondence, an average weekday in October 2019, obtained by processing validations of e-tickets of urban passenger transport in Krasnoyarsk. Discussion and conclusion. The practical implementation of the described methodology for the distribution of passenger flows on the route network using relational database management systems (DBMS) MS SQL Server has been carried out.

Authors: Rohmah Miftakhur , Fadhila Safira , Rahmadi Anton , Andriyani Yulian
Published: July 2023

The Good Processed Food Production Method (CCPOB) or Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is a guideline used in every processing activity of small and large industries in order to produce products that are of good quality, safe, and suitable for consumption. Along with the increasing growth of processed food MSMEs in Indonesia, many business actors still pay less attention to food safety in producing a product. One of them is that business actors have not implemented the Good Processed Food Production Method (CPPOB) in accordance with the standards. Therefore, assistance is needed for MSMEs Dapoer Ikan Diana in implementing CPPOB in production facilities and preparing requirements for fulfilling the MD product distribution permit. This community service activity is implemented through several stages: data collection, assistance, monitoring, and evaluation. Based on the results of this community service activity, the application of CPPOB in the production facilities of MSMEs Dapoer Ikan Diana has met the standards. This allows MSMEs to apply for the issuance of MD product distribution permits.

O “dicionário do povo” na linguagem e na metalinguagem de Camilo
Authors: Braga João Paulo
Published: July 2023

Camilo Castelo Branco manifesta, em vários passos da sua obra ficcional, a admiração pelo falar do povo das províncias do norte. O contacto direto com as gentes de Trás-os-Montes e Minho constituiu, com efeito, uma das fontes principais da sua riquíssima formação linguística, aliada à leitura profícua dos clássicos portugueses. É nosso objetivo resenhar e analisar os comentários metalinguísticos dos narradores camilianos sobre termos e locuções populares, quer nas falas das personagens, quer no próprio discurso narrativo. Procuraremos, por outro lado, indagar sobre as motivações epocais e individuais que estão na base dessa defesa teórica e prática de Camilo relativamente à língua do povo.
Vinte Horas de Liteira: uma viagem literária
Authors: Fernandes Manuel P.
Published: July 2023

A obra Vinte Horas de Liteira, de Camilo Castelo Branco, tem peculiaridades que a afastam do subgénero literário comumente nomeado de Narrativa de Viagem. Neste texto, proponho, através da análise, quer do papel simbólico da escolha de uma liteira, quer da falta de elementos comumente presentes no subgénero, considerar que a viagem entre Ovelinha e a cidade do Porto, percurso inscrito nas Vinte Horas, propicia uma relação relevante entre a viagem propriamente dita e a “literatura oral” patente nas narrativas que ocorrem no decurso da viagem. Proponho também que a substituição do espaço exterior pelo contexto literário das narrativas introduz e desenvolve um diálogo subversivo com características fundamentais do subgénero da Literatura de Viagens, aproximando o assunto também da distinção entre “literatura de viagens” e “viagens na literatura”. Segue-se nesta reflexão a ideia levantada por Pavanelo de que o assunto de Vinte Horas não é a viagem, mas o modo como esta é apreendida pela Literatura e, sobretudo, a própria Literatura.

Criminalidade feminina em Portugal na segunda metade do século XIX: balanço e ilustrações camilianas
Authors: Simon Maria Cristina Pais
Published: July 2023

Como noutros países europeus, na segunda metade do século XIX a criminalidade é em Portugal um importantíssimo tema de debate. As diversas crises e a evolução da sociedade contribuem, de facto, para o aumento da delinquência e do crime. Entendida como fenómeno social, a criminalidade exige então reformas do aparelho judiciário e carcerário e torna-se objeto de estudo de novos ramos da ciência em desenvolvimento. A questão ganha também as letras, que fazem do criminoso personagem literária. Com base num corpus constituído por Memórias do Cárcere (1862) e por alguns textos relevantes da ficção camiliana, e centrando-nos mais particularmente na figura da mulher criminosa, veremos neste estudo como Camilo Castelo Branco levou o tema à literatura.
António, Ana e Narcisa: as transgressões de Camilo Castelo Branco, em “O cego de Landim”
Authors: Denubila Rodrigo Valverde
Published: July 2023

Neste artigo, abordamos como Camilo Castelo Branco, autor português do século XIX, na novela “O cego de Landim”, que integra as Novelas do Minho, apresenta discussões contemporâneas, como a identidade de gênero, e, indiretamente, aborda o amor homoafetivo. Para fazê-lo, investigamos o percurso entre transgressões, malandragens e marginalidades de António José Pinto Monteiro (o cego de Landim), de Dona Ana Neves e de Narcisa do Bravo. Além da contemporaneidade temática, ponderamos acerca da atualidade estilística e estrutural empreendida pelo autor oitocentista.
Filosofia do vestuário e transformações sociais: uma análise de A queda dum anjo
Authors: Freitas Lucas do Prado
Published: July 2023

A queda dum anjo (1865), romance satírico de Camilo Castelo Branco (1825-1890), já amplamente analisado por Ferro (1966), Quesado (1988) e Santos (1992), pode ser tomado, nas palavras de Buescu (2019), como um diagnóstico de um momento histórico de Portugal. Este artigo propõe a "filosofia do vestuário" como uma chave de leitura para analisar a obra em questão, haja vista não só a reflexão feita no texto sobre esse assunto, mas também a frequência com que o narrador aponta com detalhes as várias mudanças de vestimenta do protagonista. A filosofia do vestuário é uma provável referência a "Sartor Resartus: a vida e as opiniões de Herr Teufelsdröckh em três livros" (1834), de Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), tratando-se de uma metáfora sobre como o sujeito se apresenta ao mundo externamente. Questiona-se, nesse sentido, como as roupas refletem as normas sociais e a superficialidade da vida, bem como a importância excessiva dada às aparências. Por conseguinte, indicações sobre a vestimenta e seu caráter retórico suscitam reflexões sobre as máscaras e os revestimentos discursivos que permeiam a narrativa. A trajetória de Calisto Elói de Silos e Benevides de Barbuda é marcada pela sua metamorfose e queda, espelhando um determinado paradigma cultural de oposição entre conservadores e progressistas. Sobreleva-se, no tratamento irônico dado à intriga, uma visão preocupada com a arbitrariedade dos discursos parlamentares, com as dissimulações da vida social e com a artificialidade dos posicionamentos ideológicos. Em suma, A queda dum anjo apresenta uma avaliação cética e pessimista da sociedade de meados do século XIX, assinalando seus problemas, crises e a necessidade de se estar atento às ideias em jogo, no sentido de pensar o destino de Portugal.
UNASUR, MERCOSUR Y ALIANZA DEL PACÍFICO: ORÍGENES, DIFERENCIAS Y TENDENCIAS ACTUALES
Authors: Borges Fábio , Ferro Edith Venero
Published: July 2023

O início do século XXI foi marcado por diferentes iniciativas de integração regional na América do Sul, com diferentes propostas: a União das Nações Sul-Americanas, o MERCOSUL reformulado e a Aliança do Pacífico, entre outras. Diante da proliferação dessas organizações na região, se mostra necessário refletir se elas são eficientes, complementares ou contraditórias. Neste artigo, serão utilizados como referenciais teóricos e metodológicos as perspectivas do estruturalismo histórico proposto pela CEPAL e do regionalismo comparado. Por essa perspectiva as comparações podem nos trazer elementos de fortaleza e fragilidades em cada uma das iniciativas; porém sem se estabelecer análises lineares sobre suas evoluções em consonância com os princípios teóricos do estruturalismo histórico e do regionalismo comparado. O que poderemos observar é que cada processo de integração teve origens distintas; passaram por crises e transformações, mas ao final se mostram complementares e necessárias frente a um contexto internacional ainda mais desafiador por conta da pandemia em 2020 e guerra na Ucrânia em 2022. Para um continente marcado pela dependência e vulnerabilidade externa, a integração pode significar maior autonomia e diversificação das exportações intrabloco.

LIBRAS
Authors: Barbosa Estélio Silva
Published: July 2023

Esse livro apresenta concepções sobre as pessoas com necessidades educacionais especiais auditivas, ou seja, o sujeito com surdez, tendo em vista a existência de leis vigentes e pertinentes que asseguram a sua inclusão aos órgãos públicos. A educação faz parte desse órgão por ser fundamental na construção do sujeito empírico e epistêmico, o que espera por sua vez a busca e o preparo para receber tais pessoas. Neste aspecto surge a necessidade do ensino e aprendizado da Língua Brasileira de Sinais – LIBRAS, como instrumento não só de inclusão, mas principalmente de comunicação e de interação, que os tornem profissionais capazes de dialogar com a pessoa com necessidades educativas especiais (o surdo), favorecendo a formação de sua identidade, o contato com outra pessoa e com o mundo.
A estimativa de surdos no Brasil segundo os dados estatísticos do IBGE (2020) é cerca de 2,7. Há pessoas surdas em todo território brasileiro. O surdo é antes de tudo um ser que possui necessidades como qualquer pessoa ouvinte, com os mesmos direitos e deveres (inclusive de ser entendido e de se comunicar) no seu espaço familiar, educacional como na sociedade em geral.
Este livro, estrutura-se em 3 unidades a constar: a primeira unidade se propõe o conhecimento sobre os aspectos introdutórios: surdez e língua de sinais; a segunda unidade aborda concepções legais sobre a educação do surdo, apresentando o direito ao processo de comunicação e a língua de sinais - LIBRAS; a terceira unidade aborda a comunicação em LIBRAS. A elaboração deste trabalho constou de intensas pesquisas bibliográficas em livros, revistas, periódicos e outros, que abordam a temática da deficiência auditiva, sua inclusão e a comunicação em LIBRAS, além das experiências do autor que há 15 anos vivência e trabalha com a temática da língua brasileira de sinais – LIBRAS. Acreditamos ser esse material um tijolo diante de uma gigantesca construção de conhecimentos relacionados à área da Língua Brasileira de Sinais – LIBRAS.

Functions of intertextual inclusions in N. G. Chernyshevsky’s novel "What Is to Be Done?" (to the 195th anniversary of the birth)
Authors: Gejmbukh E. Yu.
Published: July 2023

The article examines the novel "What is to be done?" written by N. G. Chernyshevsky. In the post-Soviet space, this work again attracts the attention of researchers. The study focuses on one of the most significant aspects of text organisation essential for understanding its meaning and structure. It is intertext in the variety of its manifestations. The article considers its characterological and axiological (explication of Christian values) functions, as well as the role of intertextual inclusions in the formation of the author’s tone, in expanding the spatial and temporal boundaries of the narrative. The research method is intertextual analysis, i. e. identifying intertextual inclusions and their forms (quotations, allusions, reminiscences). The article investigates the relationship between the pre-text and the receiving context, the functions of intertext, as well as world-generating analysis (O. G. Revzina). The research reveals that N. G. Chernyshevsky organises the spatio-temporal structure of the narrative with the help of intertextual inclusions. The specificity of the narrative consists in the intertwined and interdependent relationship between the atemporal (the eternal values of Christianity) and the temporal (biographical and historical time of the characters and the author).
Indonesian Version of DREEM Short Form Construct Validity Test in Measuring Student Perception of Distance Learning Environment
Authors: Lutfiana Aviva , Salim Rose Mini Agoes
Published: July 2023

English: The learning environment is very important to support student achievement. During the COVID-19 pandemic until the new normal transition, students are faced with a changing learning environment, starting from online, hybrid, to full offline. Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) is an instrument that measures students' perceptions of their learning environment in medical institutions developed by Roff, et.al. (1997). DREEM initially consist of 50-item to measure five domains, it was later developed into a 12-item short version by Jeyashree, Shewade, and Kathrivel (2018). There is no adapted version of DREEM short-form for non-medical institutions in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to adapt and validate the DREEM short-form measurement tool for a wider range of institutions. The population of this instrument testing are students in Indonesia with a sample of 160 people. The results show that the instrument has good internal consistency (α= 0.896), able to distinguish individuals in groups based on discrimination items, and valid in measuring constructs (Model Fit CFI = 0.922; GFI = 0.901; SRMR = 0.055, and have a good factor loading). Thus, Indonesian version of DREEM short-form is a valid and reliable tool for use in research in the field of education in a wider range of institutions.Indonesian: Lingkungan pembelajaran sangatlah penting untuk mendukung prestasi mahasiswa. Pada masa pandemi COVID-19 hingga transisi new normal, mahasiswa dihadapkan dengan lingkungan pembelajaran yang berubah-ubah, dimulai dari daring, hybrid, hingga full luring. Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) merupakan instrumen yang mengukur persepsi mahasiswa terhadap lingkungan pembelajarannya dalam institusi medis yang dikembangkan oleh Roff, et.al. (1997). Awalnya DREEM berjumlah 50-item untuk mengukur lima domain, kemudian dikembangkan dalam versi singkat (short-form) 12-item oleh Jeyashree, Shewade, dan Kathrivel (2018). Selama ini belum ada alat ukur dalam Bahasa Indonesia untuk DREEM short version 12-item untuk institusi di luar medis. Maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat adaptasi dan validasi alat ukur DREEM Short-Form 12-item untuk institusi yang lebih luas. Populasi dari pengujian alat ukur ini adalah mahasiswa di Indonesia dengan sampel sebanyak 160 orang. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa alat ukur yang telah diadaptasi memiliki konsistensi internal yang baik (reliabilitas α= 0.896), mampu membedakan individu dalam kelompok berdasarkan item discrimination, dan valid dalam mengukur konstruk (Model Fit CFI = 0,922; GFI = 0,901; SRMR = 0,055, dan memiliki muatan faktor yang baik). Dengan begitu, DREEM-12 Bahasa Indonesia merupakan alat ukur yang valid dan reliabel untuk digunakan dalam penelitian di bidang pendidikan pada setting yang lebih luas.

Published: July 2023

Subsurface processes significantly influence surface dynamics in permafrost regions, necessitating utilizing diverse geophysical methods to reliably constrain permafrost characteristics. This research uses multiple geophysical techniques to explore the spatial variability of permafrost in undisturbed tundra and its degradation in disturbed tundra in Utqiaġvik, Alaska. Here, we integrate multiple quantitative techniques, including multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and ground temperature sensing, to study heterogeneity in permafrost’s geophysical characteristics. MASW results reveal active layer shear wave velocities (Vs) between 240 and 370 m/s, and permafrost Vs between 450 and 1,700 m/s, typically showing a low-high-low velocity pattern. Additionally, we find an inverse relationship between in situ Vs and ground temperature measurements. The Vs profiles along with electrical resistivity profiles reveal cryostructures such as cryopeg and ice-rich zones in the permafrost layer. The integrated results of MASW and ERT provide valuable information for characterizing permafrost heterogeneity and cryostructure. Corroboration of these geophysical observations with permafrost core samples’ stratigraphies and salinity measurements further validates these findings. This combination of geophysical and temperature sensing methods along with permafrost core sampling confirms a robust approach for assessing permafrost’s spatial variability in coastal environments. Our results also indicate that civil infrastructure systems such as gravel roads and pile foundations affect permafrost by thickening the active layer, lowering the Vs, and reducing heterogeneity. We show how the resulting Vs profiles can be used to estimate key parameters for designing buildings in permafrost regions and maintaining existing infrastructure in polar regions.
Climate Change Attitudes and Fossil Fuel Extraction and Distribution in Canada
Authors: Seiler Lisa Y. , Stalker Glenn J.
Published: July 2023

It is widely accepted that the burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to climate change. Our question is: How are the related extraction and distribution activities viewed in Canada? This article analyzes Canadian public opinion data on five supply-side energy policies: expanding the oil sands, drilling for oil in the Arctic, fracking, expanding an oil pipeline, and shipping oil by rail. It applies social psychological models to identify factors associated with support for and opposition to these policies. Climate change attitudes have typically been found to be significant predictors of climate policy support. Instead, this study finds that having an ecological worldview is a strong predictor for each of the policies. This suggests that these policies are seen as having an effect on the environment but less so as affecting climate change. Contextual factors, such as region of residence and political orientation, are relevant predictors, suggesting that framing by political parties, industry, and social movement organizations has had a significant effect on support and opposition.
Approach of Solving Multi-objective Programming Problem by Means of Probability Theory and Uniform Experimental Design
Authors: Zheng Maosheng , Teng Haipeng , Wang Yi
Published: July 2023

In this paper, an approach to deal with the multi-objective programming problem is regulated by means of probability-based multi-objective optimization, discrete uniform experimental design, and sequential algorithm for optimization. The probability-based method for multi-objective optimization is used to conduct conversion of the multi-objective optimization problem into a single-objective optimization one in the viewpoint of probability theory. The discrete uniform experimental design is used to supply an efficient sampling to simplify the conversion. The sequential algorithm for optimization is employed to carry out further optimization. The corresponding treatments reveal the essence of the multiobjective programming, and consideration of the simultaneous optimization of each objective of multi-objective programming problem rationally. Two examples are conducted to illuminate the rationality of the approach.

Published: July 2023

Segundo o Ministério da Saúde, a sífilis é uma doença bacteriana infectocontagiosa sistêmica, crônica, tratável e com exclusividade ao ser humano. Quando não tratada, a infecção evolui para alguns estágios, que podem acometer sistemas e órgãos do corpo humano. Seu agente etiológico é o Treponema pallidum subespécie pallidum. Foi descoberto em 1905, pelo Zoologista Fritz Shaundin e o Dermatologista Paul Erich.

Authors: Ilgen Oguzhan , Tümkor Elif
Published: July 2023

Amberlyst A21 was used for the oleic acid adsorption from sunflower oil (SFO). The impacts of parameters such as contact time, temperature, and mass ratio of adsorbent on oleic acid adsorption were studied. The characterization of Amberlyst A21 before and after adsorption was performed by using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption reached equilibrium 480 minutes later. The increase in temperature and the amount of adsorbent caused an increase in the amount of adsorbed oleic acid. The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics were studied. The pseudo-first order kinetics well described the adsorption for all studied temperatures. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin−Radushkevich isotherms and thermodynamic analysis were investigated at equilibrium. The suitability of the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms indicated that the adsorption takes place under monolayer and heterogeneous surfaces. Thermodynamical results showed that adsorption occurs spontaneously and endothermic.

The Amazon Basin currently hosts the world’s largest pool of terrestrial biodiversity and prior to European colonization of the Americas there were large human communities living in parkland ecosystems. We examine the formation of archaeological sites in the northeast sector of the Caxiuanã National Forest (CNF) using light stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon, total carbon and nitrogen and Optically Stimulated Luminescence to characterize long-term human landscape management practices. Previous research in the CNF has documented differences in pH, calcium, total organic carbon (TOC) and nitrogen (TN) between terra preta and terra marrom contexts as well as different forest structures based on remote sensing analysis. Therefore, we adopt a comparative approach, examining the formation processes of on-site (terra preta), near-site (terra marrom) and offsite (latosol) contexts. TOC and TN values obtained in our study augment and support previous research demonstrating significantly higher on-site values relative to near-site and off-site. However, the stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) assayed from terra preta, terra marrom and latosols show statistically overlapping values, indicating the persistence of closed canopy in off-site and near-site contexts and the use of this canopy in the formation of on-site soils (terra preta). Our results corroborate the hypothesis that closed canopy ecosystems and human settlements persisted in the Amazon for thousands of years and formed the foundation of the region’s rich biodiversity.

Introduction

Betahistine is widely used for the treatment of various vestibular disorders. However, the approved oral administration route and maximum daily dose are evidently not effective in clinical trials, possibly due to a major first-pass metabolism by monoamine oxidases (MAOs). The current study aimed to test different application routes (i.v./s.c./p.o.), doses, and concurrent medication (with the MAO-B inhibitor selegiline) for their effects on behavioral recovery and cerebral target engagement following unilateral labyrinthectomy (UL) in rats.

Methods

Sixty rats were subjected to UL by transtympanic injection of bupivacaine/arsanilic acid and assigned to five treatment groups: i.v. low-dose betahistine (1 mg/kg bid), i.v. high-dose betahistine (10 mg/kg bid), p.o. betahistine (1 mg/kg bid)/selegiline (1 mg/kg once daily), s.c. betahistine (continuous release of 4.8 mg/day), and i.v. normal saline bid (sham treatment; days 1–3 post-UL), respectively. Behavioral testing of postural asymmetry, nystagmus, and mobility in an open field was performed seven times until day 30 post-UL and paralleled by sequential cerebral [18F]-FDG-μPET measurements.

Results

The therapeutic effects of betahistine after UL differed in extent and time course and were dependent on the dose, application route, and selegiline co-medication: Postural asymmetry was significantly reduced on 2–3 days post-UL by i.v. high-dose and s.c. betahistine only. No changes were observed in the intensity of nystagmus across groups. When compared to sham treatment, movement distance in the open field increased up to 5-fold from 2 to 30 days post-UL in the s.c., i.v. high-dose, and p.o. betahistine/selegiline groups. [18F]-FDG-μPET showed a dose-dependent rCGM increase in the ipsilesional vestibular nucleus until day 3 post-UL for i.v. high- vs. low-dose betahistine and sham treatment, as well as for p.o. betahistine/selegiline and s.c. betahistine vs. sham treatment. From 1 to 30 days post-UL, rCGM increased in the thalamus bilaterally for i.v. high-dose betahistine, s.c. betahistine, and p.o. betahistine/selegiline vs. saline treatment.

Discussion

Betahistine has the potential to augment the recovery of dynamic deficits after UL if the administration protocol is optimized toward higher effective plasma levels. This may be achieved by higher doses, inhibition of MAO-based metabolism, or a parenteral route. In vivo imaging suggests a drug-target engagement in central vestibular networks.
Estimation of minimal detectable change in the 10-meter walking test for patients with stroke: a study stratified by gait speed

Published: July 2023

Objective

This study aimed to classify and calculate the minimal detectable changes (MDC) in gait time and gait speed in a 10-meter walking test (10MWT) in patients with stroke classified according to their gait speed.

Methods

The participants were 84 patients with stroke. Their gait times were measured twice each at their comfortable gait speed (CGS) and maximum gait speed (MGS) on a 10-meter straight track, and gait speed was calculated using gait time. Participants were assigned to three speed groups based on their CGS: low-speed (<0.4 m/s; n = 19); moderate-speed (0.4–0.8 m/s; n = 29); and high-speed (>0.8 m/s; n = 36). For each group, first and second retest reliability and MDC of CGS and MGS were calculated using gait time and gait speed in the 10MWT.

Results

MDCs in the 10MWT at CGS were: low-speed group, gait time 5.25 s, gait speed 0.05 m/s; moderate-speed group, gait time 2.83 s, gait speed 0.11 m/s; and high-speed group, gait time 1.58 s, gait speed 0.21 m/s. MDCs in the 10MWT at MGS were: low-speed group, gait time 7.26 s, gait speed 0.04 m/s; moderate-speed group, gait time 2.48 s, gait speed 0.12 m/s; and high-speed group, gait time 1.28 s, gait speed 0.19 m/s.

Conclusion

Since the MDC of gait speed and gait time differ depending on the participant’s gait speed, it is necessary to interpret the results according to the participant’s gait speed when judging the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
Sex differences in intuitive eating and its relationship with body mass index among adults aged 18–40 years in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Albajri Eram , Naseeb Manal
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Intuitive eating (IE) is eating without judgment, relying only on physiological hunger and satiety. Sex differences in IE have been reported; however, none of the studies have explicitly examined IE and its relationship with body mass index (BMI) in the Saudi Arabian population. Thus, this study aimed to investigate sex differences in IE and its relationship with BMI in the Saudi population.

Subjects/methods

A cross-sectional online survey of 360 participants (18 years or older) with self-reported weight and height was conducted. IE was measured using the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2). Separate multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to determine if total IE and its subscale scores differed across sexes. It was also conducted to assess the relationship between IE and BMI across sexes.

Results

Women had higher total IE score, eating for physical rather than emotional reasons (EPR), and body-food choice congruence (BFCC) scores compared to men (p = 0.013, p = 0.01, p <0.001, respectively). The analysis showed a significant negative association between total IE, BFCC, EPR scores, and BMI in women compared to men (p = 0.023, p = 0.01, p = 0.003, respectively).

Conclusion

The data on the sex differences in IE and its subscales and their different association with BMI encourage tailing nutrition-related recommendations in the context of intuitive eating based on sexes. Future studies are needed to explore how intuitive eating functions differently in women compared to men and explore the causal relationship between IE and BMI in this population.

Introduction

The incidence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), one of the most prevalent tumors, is increasing rapidly worldwide. Cuproptosis, as a new copper-dependent cell death form, was proposed recently. However, the prognosis value and immune effects of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (CRLs) have not yet been elucidated in HNSCC.

Methods

In the current study, the expression pattern, differential profile, clinical correlation, DNA methylation, functional enrichment, univariate prognosis factor, and the immune effects of CRLs were analyzed. A four-CRL signature was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm.

Results

Results showed that 20 CRLs had significant effects on the stage progression of HNSCC. Sixteen CRLs were tightly correlated with the overall survival (OS) of HNSCC patients. Particularly, lnc-FGF3-4 as a single risk factor was upregulated in HNSCC tissues and negatively impacted the prognosis of HNSCC. DNA methylation probes of cg02278768 (MIR9-3HG), cg07312099 (ASAH1-AS1), and cg16867777 (TIAM1-AS1) were also correlated with the prognosis of HNSCC. The four-CRL signature that included MAP4K3-DT, lnc-TCEA3-1, MIR9-3HG, and CDKN2A-DT had a significantly negative effect on the activation of T cells follicular helper and OS probability of HNSCC. Functional analysis revealed that cell cycle, DNA replication, and p53 signal pathways were enriched.

Discussion

A novel CRL-related signature has the potential of prognosis prediction in HNSCC. Targeting CRLs may be a promising therapeutic strategy for HNSCC.
