In this study modified feldspar composite (MFC) was prepared from the combination of Theobroma cacao pod (TCP) and feldspar (FS) using calcination method. The Theobroma cacao pod-feldspar sample was first Na-modified by treatment using 0.1M NaOH solution before calcination in the muffle furnace at 3000C to complete the process of composite preparation. The Theobroma cacao pods (TCP), feldspar (FS) and modified feldspar composite (MFC) were characterized using XRF, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer Emmett and Teller ( BET) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the cation exchange capacity of the modified feldspar composite (30.66 ± 0.21 meq/100 g) was 5 times higher than that of raw feldspar (6.42 ± 0.45 meq/100g). More so, the novel biohybrid material, MFC has a surface area of 53.60 ± 0.3 m2/g and particle size of 105.4 ± 0.18. The XRD patterns revealed that after the modification process, there is only slight shift in the position of some diffraction peaks of feldspar and the composite material indicating the retention of the crystalline properties of the feldspar in the novel composite (MFC). FTIR results showed that some functional groups present in the two starting materials were also available on the surface of the composite (MFC) indicating that the intercalation of TCP biomass into feldspar surface was successful. Owing to its improved cation exchange capacity and eco-friendliness, the modified feldspar composite (MFC) has a good potential application as adsorbent for heavy metals in wastewater treatment besides other industrial explorations.
Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection Management-New Insights
Authors: Therese-Mary William
Published: August 2021

Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of major public health concerns and one of the most frequent congenital infections worldwide. Congenital CMV infection is under-diagnosed in the majority of asymptomatic pregnant women due to its self-limited non-specific symptoms and unimplemented screening program. Primary CMV infections are associated with the highest in-utero transmission at estimated rates of 30–35%. Transmission rate occurs less frequently in secondary CMV maternal infections at approximately 1.1–1.7%. Congenital CMV infection can also go undetected at birth because the affected newborns are often asymptomatic, however, they manifest serious morbidities later in life. There are growing evidences that early diagnosis and treatment of newborns with congenital CMV infection can reduce sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and the subsequent long-term neurological and developmental disabilities. There is also increased interest in establishing a prophylactic CMV vaccine that can protect seronegative mothers from primary infection and augment the immune response in seropositive women, in order to prevent CMV reactivation or re-infection. Studies show that liquid-saliva polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay has high sensitivity “100%" it is more advantageous than Dried blood spots (DBS) in detecting congenital CMV infection and it can be used to screen newborns in the first 3 weeks. Suggestive strategies to reduce the burden of congenital CMV disease are; establishing a screening programme for pregnant mothers, developing prophylactic CMV vaccine, early therapeutic intervention in pregnant women and newborns and use Saliva PCR assay as a new method for neonatal CMV screening.

Authors: Hashemi Seyed Taghi , Kiaii Babak Ali , Mousavi Sara
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Undernutrition of patients is one of the most important and effective issues in response to treatment and mortality rate. The prevalence of undernutrition in hospitalized patients is 22 to 50%. Little attention has been paid to this issue due to lack of a proper nutritional screening system. Nutrition of the patients admitted to ICU and maintaining their homeostasis requires proper and scientific management. Early nutritional support reduces the severity of disease, complications, and length of hospital stay in the intensive care unit. The aim of present study was to use the Nutritional Screening System (NRS 2002) in multiple trauma patients admitted to ICU. Methods: The present study was conducted on 100 multiple trauma patients admitted to the ICU of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan in 2018. The required information form was completed for each patient. In this nutritional system, the severity of disease and level of undernutrition of patients are divided into three categories: mild, moderate and severe. In the NRS 2002 system, the final score varies from 0 to 7. The nutrition care program starts with a final score of ≥ 3. Results: In the present study, the results showed that weight loss in the last three months was 32%, and the level of nutrients received during the last week was 30%. Also, 42% of patients were severely ill and 45% needed nutritional support. Also, 68% of patients did not have undernutrition problems. Based on the independent t-test, weight loss during the last three months, reduction of calorie intake and severity of previous disease were effective in the type of treatment. Conclusion: The NRS 2002 method is very valuable and reliable due to the rapid and easy identification of undernutrition patients based on items that are readily available and its applicability if the reporter is not a nutritionist.

Published: August 2021

Background and Aim: Thalassemia major is one of the most common chronic genetic diseases in the world and in Iran that can impose many adverse effects on the self and society. Psychologically, patients with thalassemia are under stress. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), suicide is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It is important to identify the people who have the highest risk factors for suicide. The present research investigates the frequency of thoughts, readiness and suicide attempts in people with thalassemia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Its sample was 150 patients with thalassemia in the age range of 10 to 46 years whom we selected through census by sampling at convenience. We gave to patients a standardized Beck Suicide Thought Assessment Questionnaire. We analyzed the research data using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. Results: From among 150 patients with thalassemia in this study, 57.3% of the respondents were male and 42.7% were female. The results showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between suicide thoughts and attempts and age (-0.234) (P <0.05). The mean prevalence of suicide in men (1.89) was significantly higher compared to women (0.79) (P <0.05). We did not observe significant difference in prevalence of suicide thoughts and attempts between married and single groups with a mean difference (0.69) (P <0.05) and, in different educational groups, no significant difference was reported (P> 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this research showed that among patients with thalassemia, the prevalence of suicidal ideation has a significant percentage. Since suicidal ideation provides a platform for preparation and attempt to commit suicide, so by providing mental health services and regular screening, we can take an effective step to prevent this problem among patients with thalassemia.

Published: August 2021

A manually operated foot leverage pedal with adjustable blades guillotine cutter was designed and constructed using locally available materials. This machine was designed to shear variety of materials with various thicknesses and sizes depending on the cutting blade capacity and the shearing angle, which cuts the materials with minimal waste and without the formation of chips and bending of the material. The machine is foot powered. It works by first clamping the material with a ram. A moving blade then comes down across a fixed blade to shear the material. The moving blade was inclined at 0.5°, this angle is called the rake angle, to keep the material from becoming wedged between the blades. Test carried out on mild steel shows that the machine is capable of shearing the metal sheet with maximum thickness of 0.5mm.

Published: August 2021

Since deuterium 2H (D) is an isotope of hydrogen 1H, the testing of the possibility of photochemical synthesis of marked chlorinated phenol, biphenyl and benzene using normal solvents was studied. The irradiation of full chlorinated compounds dissolved in normal solvents such as MeOH or n-hexane has led to a reaction substitution in which a chlorine atom was substituted by hydrogen atom forming less grade chlorinated chlorophenols, biphenyls and benzenes. The quantum yields of pentachlorophenol, decachlorobiphenyl and hexachlorobenzene under irradiation using polychromatic light were calculated and found to be 5.7 x 10-3, 1.6 x 10-2 and 1.2 x 10-2 Mol·Einstein-1, respectively. Depending on this study the production of marked chlorinated or non-chlorinated compounds using deuterated appropriate solvents such as MeOH d4 or n-hexane d14 is possible. However, more efforts should be made towards chromatographically separation of synthesized standards and byproducts in order to make the use of these marked compounds as standards in residue analysis feasible.

Optimizing agricultural production with socioeconomic considerations: A case study from Palestine
Authors: M. Anayah Fathi
Published: August 2021

Agriculture is not only the main source of income to most Palestinian families; it is also the link to connect them to their valuable land and water resources. Farmers seek assistance from agronomists and decision makers to cultivate the proper products. In this study, the best selection of agricultural crops is addressed in the multiple-objective context. The study deals with three conflicting objective functions: net benefit, agricultural production, and labor employment. Four-stage procedure is adopted combining multiple-objective optimization, simple valuation methods, cluster analysis, and multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. Pareto optimal curves are used to evaluate the marginal prices of both land area and labor day. The theories of utility and benefit cost are applied to rank the non-dominant alternatives. Two MCDM methods, namely weighted goal programming and step methods, are employed in the evaluation. The above methodology is applied to the case study of Qalqilya District in which irrigated agriculture under semi-arid conditions prevails. The results show that Pareto optimal is a powerful tool to determine the marginal price of non-monetary commodities. It is also found that the average annual net benefit, agricultural production, and labor employment for the cultivated area are $941,423, 3,288 tons, and 14,671 days, respectively, in the best compromise plan. The inclusion of socioeconomic considerations in decision making on agricultural systems is crucial for their sustainable development.

O jurista entre o direito e o progresso: um sentido para a interpretação jurídica no pensamento de Tullio Ascarelli
Authors: Sedano Onofri Renato
Published: August 2021

O presente estudo investiga a hipótese de que a teoria da interpretação, como desenvolvida por Tullio Ascarellia partir da influência do idealismo jurídico italiano, implica na incorporação de uma determinada representação do tempo e da história na construção do direito. A hermenêutica, na obra do autor, teria um caráter híbrido, assumindo uma tarefa simultaneamente criadora e conciliadora: criadora de novas soluções que adequem o direito às exigências e valores do ambiente, mas conciliadora dessas novas soluções com a integridade e continuidade do direito objetivo. Neste contexto, uma visão otimista da história ocidental, representada como narrativa de avanços, projeta o direito, notadamente o direito comercial, como instrumento para os triunfos nos setores da economia e da técnica. Entreve-se, assim, que ao intérprete é atribuída a missão dedesenvolver o direito para o atendimento das demandas do progresso no sentido do capitalismo ocidental.
Ecclesiastical normativity and particularism in the New World: the regulation of baptism in the Synod of Salvador da Bahia (1707) and its practice in the Freguesia of Fortaleza (18th century)
Authors: Cabral Gustavo César Machado
Published: August 2021

This paper aims to contribute with the study of ecclesiastical normativities in Portuguese America, mainly after the enactment of the First Constitutions of the Archbishopric of Bahia (1707). By analyzing baptism, which is regarded as the first Catholic sacrament, this text focuses on the creation of norms for particular spaces and how this process incorporates juridical and theological traditions. At the same time, the text confronts this analysis with the baptismal records of the freguesia of Fortaleza during the 18th century, in order to verify if this formal regulation actually was put into practice.

Published: August 2021

A pesquisa em questão tem como escopo compreender a gestão da governança regional de turismo da Costa Verde & Mar (CVM), Santa Catarina, Brasil. Esta região é representativa pela significativa importância no que concerne a geração de renda e emprego, pela sua capacidade de recebimento de visitantes, e infraestrutura relacionada aos seus destinos e atrativos. A região analisada nesta pesquisa é compreendida a partir de quatro dimensões analíticas: organização, relação de poder, informações e ações e resultados. A metodologia utilizada foi de natureza qualitativa de modo exploratório e explicativo, com levantamento dos dados por meio de quinze entrevistas estruturadas junto a representantes dos setores público, privado e terceiro setor, e dos documentos oficiais como leis, decretos, regimentos, estatutos e relatórios. As análises dos documentos foram descritivas, e as entrevistas ocorreram pela análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). Os resultados, a partir dos documentos, evidenciaram que a região não possui decreto ou lei específica que possa dar maior sustentação jurídica, mas que possui regimento e estatuto respaldados pelos seus membros. Os resultados apontados pelas entrevistas demonstraram a preocupação com o processo de gestão, afirmando a dificuldade na sua profissionalização, almejando uma gestão com membros que tenham experiência e expertise aliados a conhecimento sobre o turismo.
Banco de dados das aves amostradas no Parque Nacional Saint-Hilaire/Lange e entorno em 2012 e 2013, Floresta Atlântica no Litoral do Paraná.
Authors: Mestre Luiz
Published: August 2021

Neste estudo, apresentamos os dados de amostragens das aves registradas no Parque Nacional Saint Hilaire/Lange e em áreas de seu entorno (no município de Matinhos, Paraná). Os dados foram coletados em florestas submontana das encostas, abaixo de 200m de altitude, em quatro expedições de campo (1–13 de outubro 2012, 7–17 de dezembro 2012, 19–27 de março 2013 e 18–26 de julho 2013). Foram usadas 30 redes de neblina para as capturas (2 grupos de 15 redes de 12m, malha 30cm), abertas em dois dias consecutivos em cada área (total 5400h/redes). Ainda foram registradas as aves em 184 pontos de escuta (10 minutos, raio 50m) feitos próximos as áreas amostradas. Foram capturados 1666 indivíduos de 98 espécies (destes, 416 foram recapturados). Nos pontos de escuta, foram registrados 2051 indivíduos de 143 espécies. As espécies mais capturadas foram Turdus albicollis, Ramphodon naevius, Chiroxiphia caudata, Thalurania glaucopis e Tachyphonus coronatus. Nos pontos de escuta, as espécies mais frequentemente registradas foram Tangara cyanocephala, Basileuterus culicivorus, Turdus flavipes, Chiroxiphia caudata e Ramphodon naevius. A avifauna ocorrente nas áreas modificadas no entorno do Parque é influenciada pela matriz e pela estrutura local da vegetação. O presente estudo fornece dados da abundância e riqueza de aves para uma região pouco estudada e de grande diversidade biológica, permitindo avaliar a distribuição de aves e as áreas no entorno do Parque Nacional Saint Hilaire/Lange. Essas informações podem ser utilizadas em futuros estudos e ações conservacionistas na área.

Published: August 2021

This dataset compiles information on giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) specimens housed in the major zoological collections of Brazil. We have personally examined the specimens, which constitute of skins, crania, and partial skeletons. We compiled information on collector, date, and locality of the specimens. A total of 56 giant otter specimens housed in six zoological collections were located. Of this total, 12 specimens do not have associated locality information. Of special relevance are the specimens from the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo, as they document the presence of the giant otter in the Atlantic rainforest, where it is now extirpated. Our dataset may be used in studies on distribution (past and present) of the species, and to delineate conservation policies of the giant otter. The specimens from the Atlantic rainforest may be used in museomics analyses, as they may represent lost haplotypes of P. brasiliensis.
