Published: December 2024

Feira de Santana se estabelece como uma das mais importantes cidades do estado da Bahia, tendo um forte potencial econômico, com destaque para o setor comercial. Com base em um discurso modernizador ao longo dos séculos XX e XXI, a cidade tem sua paisagem e, consequentemente, sua imagem transformadas seguindo padrões de modelos urbanísticos que pouco se relacionam com a identidade local e transformam consideravelmente ruas importantes do seu centro comercial. Nesta perspectiva, o objeto de estudo deste artigo é analisar as modificações na paisagem engendradas na Rua Sales Barbosa em Feira de Santana-Ba. Tendo como objetivo principal analisar as mudanças no desenho urbano da rua Sales Barbosa em Feira de Santana-Ba, com foco entre as mudanças da paisagem urbana desta rua e suas consequências no desenho e na imagem da cidade de Feira de Santana. Para tanto foram realizadas pesquisas em jornais locais, Bancos de Teses e Dissertações, sites como Scielo e Google Acadêmico, visitas de campo e registros fotográficos. A partir das análises observou-se que há uma busca constante por mudança na imagem da cidade o que significou ao longo da sua história no afastamento de características ligadas a cultura e identidade locais e uma inserção de elementos ligados a um suposto perfil de “modernidade” desejado. Esta perspectiva se confirma com o “Projeto Novo Centro” aplicado entre 2020 e 2022 que modificou consideravelmente a rua Sales Barbosa retirando elementos importantes da dinâmica local, alterando sua imagem e seu desenho.

Published: December 2024

A pesquisa desenvolvida neste trabalho avaliou, por intermédio das metodologias in silico, a toxicidade ambiental e humana, a biodisponibilidade oral humana e parâmetros farmacocinéticos para o antibiótico veterinário Cefquinoma. O Cefquinoma é um antibiótico de amplo espectro, classificado como cefalosporina de quarta geração. Atualmente, sua utilização é destinada ao tratamento de mastites clínicas em vacas em lactação, causadas por bactérias sensíveis à mesma. Atualmente, as perdas econômicas advindas da patologia resultam diversos custos adicionais, como diminuição na produção e perda do animal. A contaminação da água e do solo são temáticas de elevado enfoque na atualidade em função dos possíveis impactos que os resíduos de antibióticos podem ocasionar no meio ambiente. Diante tal contexto, realizou-se o estudo toxicológico in silico ambiental do Cefquinoma. O estudo revelou que o antibiótico não possui toxicidade para abelhas e crustáceos, porém apresenta toxicidade para peixes, a sua estrutura química não sofre biodegradação ambiental, apresentando uma taxa de remoção total de apenas 1,89%, resultando em contaminação da cadeia alimentar e do ser humano por intermédio da alimentação. Em função do antibiótico veterinário promover a contaminação ambiental, dos alimentos e do ser humano, torna-se obrigatório a realização do estudo Toxicológico e Farmacocinético in silico humano. Tal estudo indicou que o antibiótico não apresenta boa disponibilidade via oral humana, pois violou três descritores moleculares da Regra de Lipinski. O estudo ADME in silico revelou que o antibiótico apresenta baixa taxa de absorção intestinal, não possui permeabilidade pela barreira hematoencefálica e não inibe a glicoproteína P. O estudo ADME in silico também indicou que o antibiótico não inibiu as isoenzimas hepáticas do complexo citocromo P450. O estudo toxicológico in silico humano revelou que o antibiótico não é mutagênico quanto ao teste de AMES, não apresenta carcinogenicidade e quanto à toxicidade oral aguda se enquadra na categoria III (baixa toxicidade), porém apresenta toxicidade respiratória, toxidade reprodutiva, toxicidade mitocondrial e nefrotoxicidade humana.

Authors: T. Talabis Leonid , P. Granada Minerva
Published: December 2024

The study was intended to broadly explore the felt needs as experienced emotionally and expressed by informal Filipino- Muslim families which needed to be addressed and relieved as quickly as possible. These group of people were displaced due to a five-month long siege of Marawi City by ISIS- inspired militants in May to October 2017.The province has consistently been one of the Philippines poorest. Because of extreme poverty combined with land dispossession, social exclusion and constrained access to basic social services, they moved out from their place of origin and transferred to an overcrowded neighborhood located in the urban area of Sta, Cruz, Laguna with no security of tenure since they do not own the land property. Informal settler families have been facing challenges amid their poor living conditions due to poverty and adverse health concerns which they identified as felt needs and were deemed essential to solve the varied problems they perceived in the community. Quality housing condition was one of the essential basic requirements that should be met by the families. However, because of financial constraints, the houses were small and weak and made up of flimsy plywood, salvaged woods and corrugated tins which were not really appropriate to reside in. Diseases related to lack of potable water, poor environmental sanitation and inadequate nutrition formed the majority of reported illness by the mothers. The neighborhood had limited and unreliable livelihood opportunities with majority of the residents relied on petty businesses and casual skilled jobs as means of generating income.

Published: December 2024

Waste generation has emerged as a critical global environmental concern, exacerbated by population growth, urbanization, and rising consumption patterns. In the Philippines, as one of Southeast Asia's top waste output contributors, inadequate waste management practices, low recycling rates, and inefficiencies in local waste collection systems have intensified pollution challenges, particularly in coastal areas. This study addresses the country's waste management challenges by forecasting regional waste generation trends using the ARIMA (Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average) model. ARIMA's time series forecasting capability enables the prediction of future waste quantities based on historical data, providing local government units with insights essential for capacity planning and policy interventions. The ARIMA model forecasted waste generation trends of the region in the Philippines for the next decade, using historical data from 2014 to 2023. The forecast of waste generation of each region reveals three main patterns. The first is a decline following an initial rise in 2024, the second is a steady downtrend starting in 2024, and lastly, an upward trend after a dip in 2024. These patterns suggest regional differences in waste output and inform the government about more targeted waste management strategies, such as conducting policies and regulations. NCR, Region 2, Region 3, and Region 13 are projected to see a temporary rise followed by a gradual decline hinting at a stabilization. Regions 1, 4, MIMAROPA, and Regions 5–12 show a consistent decline starting in 2024, likely reflecting sustained waste reduction. CAR, however, displays a unique upward trend after 2024, indicating factors that may drive increased waste generation. Among all the regions, only BARMM has insufficient data, which is why forecasting in this region is not possible. Further research could address this gap if additional PSA data becomes available.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Kim Jung Gyu
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to understand how the unitary autonomous police system operates in the field through qualitative research. The subjects of the qualitative research were 108 people including local council members, staff of the autonomous police committee, police officers of the autonomous police department of the provincial police agency, autonomous police officers at the police station level, members of civic groups, autonomous police committee working council, and autonomous police committee policy advisory group. The semi-structured questionnaire was used for individual and group interviews. The interview results showed that the immediate tasks of the unitary autonomous police system were active promotion and education. A significant number of research participants had insufficient understanding of the system and thus did not have sufficient capacity to lead the work. Efforts were required to resolve conflicts between related organizations that occurred in the early stages of the system implementation. Next, in order to secure cooperation between related organizations, the need to link local governments down to the basic level, share information, establish systems, and activate communication were categorized. Through the research results from the interviews, the current policy weaknesses of the unitary autonomous police system as well as its potential for development were understood. The research results may be continuously reviewed for better understanding of the system while the unified autonomous police system continues.

Published: December 2024

Principal component analysis is a multivariate statistical method used for reducing data dimension which can be applied in various fields. One of them is in computer science application, i.e. dimension reduction of image data for face recognition. This research focuses on obtaining average faces matrix, eigenfaces, and data projection results based on principal component scores. The results were then used for further step in face recognition namely classification. Here two classification methods are used, namely Euclidean distance and artificial neural networks (ANN) with single and multi-layers. The data used are from AT&T Laboratories Cambridge collections in April 1992 - April 1994, each line of the data contains pixel from a single image that has 256 levels of black and white color between 0 and 1. Based on the analysis results, the accuracy rate of face recognition using the Euclidean distance method is 89%. At the same time, single-layer ANN produce the accuracy of 90.5% for two hidden layers, 89% for 3 and 4 hidden neurons, while multi-layer ANN produce the accuracy of 89.5% for hidden neurons (3.2), and 91% for hidden neurons (3,3) and (4,2). However, the smallest error was obtained by multi-layer ANN with hidden neurons (4,2) which resulted the error value of 7.5303. Thus we conclude that the multilayer ANN (4.2) outperformed the others and then is chosen as the best classification for the face recognition analysis of the data.

Published: December 2024

Regulations on working hours for Medical Specialist Education Program (PPDS) participants in Indonesia play an important role in maintaining a balance between education and health services. However, legal loopholes and lack of supervision have led to many PPDS participants being forced to work beyond the prescribed limits, which negatively affects their physical and mental health. This study aims to analyze existing regulations related to PPDS working hours, identify legal loopholes that affect the welfare of participants, and provide recommendations for regulatory improvements. The method used in this research is a normative legal research method with a legislative and conceptual approach. The data used are secondary sources, including relevant laws, legal journals, and official government documents. The results show that although there are regulations governing working hours, their implementation is often inconsistent in the field. Many PPDS participants reported working hours exceeding 80 hours per week, especially in emergency situations. This finding indicates the need for legal reform to create a better system. In conclusion, regulatory reforms regarding working hours for PPDS participants are urgently needed to ensure the welfare of participants and the quality of health services. Recommendations for improvement include stricter enforcement of working hour limits, improved supervision systems, and active collaboration with the Ministry of Health.
Delimitation of irrigation management zones in banana cultivation using satellite images and physical and chemical soil attributes
Authors: Zhiminaicela-Cabrera Jonathan , Villaseñor-Ortiz Diego , Tusa Eduardo , Luna-Romero Angel
Published: December 2024

In banana plantations, irrigation is managed in a homogeneous way, which is inadequate due to the variability of the soil in different areas, leading to significant losses in productivity. To address this issue, the delimitation of agricultural management zones (AMZ) was proposed, based on the spatial variability of the physical and chemical soil attributes, along with information obtained from spectral indices derived from satellite imagery. Additionally, the soil-climate-plant relationship was considered to improve the accuracy and reliability of the information. For this purpose, Sentinel-2 satellite images were processed, and various spectral indices were calculated using the Sen2R package. These indices allowed the generation of AMZ in QGIS using the Smart Map plugin. The satellite images facilitated the delimitation of homogeneous zones based on spectral information. Through a correlation matrix between the mean values of physical and chemical soil variables and the spectral indices per hectare, a correlation was identified between the water stress index and factors such as sand content, electrical conductivity, soil texture class, and available water. The geospatial analysis allowed for the accurate delimitation of irrigation zones, compared to those defined solely by the physical and chemical properties of the soil. The vegetation’s response to soil characteristics, such as water retention capacity, cation exchange, and base assimilation in the soil, demonstrated the effectiveness of this delimitation.

Authors: Barazesh Mahdi , Mohammadi Shiva , Jalili Sajad
Published: December 2024

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), belonging to the IgG subclass, are the most progressively growing biopharmaceutics with successful applications for the remediation of chronic disorders, including tumors, inflammatory diseases, and retinal neovascularization. Several engineered platforms have been developed recently for the construction of new generations of these recombinant proteins with improved affinity, improved antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) function, improved effector activity, and therapeutic properties. These include engineered antibody fusion proteins such as CAR-T and CAR-NK cells, immunotoxin, bispecific antibodies, antibody-cytokine, and drug-conjugated antibodies. This chapter discusses various bioengineering techniques, focusing on genetic and protein engineering methods. Besides, it describes the superiority and drawbacks of these technologies for monoclonal antibody production by considering stability, effectiveness, affinity, and bio-safety for human applications. There is still potential for developing a novel technique that is straightforward, rapid, and affordable while ensuring the stability and efficiency of these biotherapeutic agents in the framework of personalized medicine. Contribution of these novel techniques to develop antibodies for personalized medicine application is anticipated through the quick generation of individual-specific antibodies with better therapeutic efficacy, affinity, and stability as well as the development of combinatorial medications and innovative antibody delivery platforms.
Historical and Paleolimnological Reconstruction of Degassing Maar Lakes: The Case of Lake Pavin (Auvergne, France), for the Last Two Thousand Years
Authors: Meybeck Michel , Chapron Emmanuel , Molo Brice , Lavina Pierre
Published: December 2024

Degassing maar lakes were thought to be a new natural hazard until the Nyos Lake catastrophe (1986). Historical degassing events published for Lakes Pavin (France, 1785), Monticchio (Italy, 1770–1820), Albano Lake (Italy, 1829), combined with those of Monoun (1984) and Nyos (1986) in Cameroon, allow to propose a grid of degassing descriptors, on lake and waters changes, on atmospheric disorders and on impacts on populations. Pavin Lake degassing history has then been reconstructed from well-contextualized written source over five centuries, revealing boiling (1783), lake storm (1847), color change (1783, 1936), sudden limnic eruption (1551, 1785), emission of fog, vapors, and thick clouds (1550–1750), associated with reported sudden neurologic diseases, similar to those observed at Albano and Nyos. Their spontaneous healings have been reported as miracles by the church authorities. Pavin, described as a, « marvelous lake with sudden storms with thunder and lightnings », is feared and avoided by the local population. When eventually sounded (1770), Pavin is gradually normalized by local authorities who deny its misbehaviors until recently. Since 2005, Pavin geohistory is gradually unveiled by paleolimnology, geomorphology, and geochemistry, revealing sub-lacustrine slides, higher lake levels, overflows events, and its deep CO2 are beginning to be surveyed. A recent modelling of sudden lake degassing confirms that Pavin area is a potential hazard. Other world maar lakes could benefit from the multiple approaches implemented at Pavin to establish their past degassing history, necessary to risk management.

Authors: Karadağ Ahmet , Dinçer Şahan Özgenur , Hamid Attia , Nauman Aftab Muhammad
Published: December 2024

Selecting suitable feedstock oils is essential for cost-effective biodiesel production. Research is focused on non-food oils such as Jatropha, Karanja, and animal fats. Karanja contains 27.5% fat, while Jatropha has non-edible fat content of 38–40%. Industrial hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa) also stand out, with an oil content of about 30–35%. Additionally, microalgae, which absorb CO2 and help reduce greenhouse gases, are an appealing biodiesel source. Biodiesel production also utilizes oils derived from soybeans (7%), sunflowers (3%), palm oil (15%), rapeseed oil (47%), canola oil, and cottonseed. Other significant biodiesel feedstocks in the United States include animal fats sourced from meat processing plants, used (recycled) cooking oil, and yellow grease (18%) from restaurants, as well as animal fats (8%). Yellow grease is specifically employed in biofuel production. This diversity is crucial in the selection of feedstocks for biodiesel production, considering sustainability, especially in terms of whether they are primary food sources or not, and taking into account the variety and oil content of bioenergy feedstocks. The physical (macro-scale), structural (micro-scale), and compositional (molecular-scale) characteristics of feedstock types, in addition to their lipid content, are crucial in biodiesel production, influencing conversion efficiency and process economics.

On the Use of Micro-Perforated Panels for Sound Absorption
Authors: B. Tayong Rostand
Published: December 2024

This study deals with the sound absorption for micro-perforated panels (MPP) as an effective solution for sound reduction. Single and multiple MPPs backed by an air cavity are presented, analyzed, and both their behavior and response are modeled and measured. The experimental setup relies on the use of an impedance tube. Three MPP samples were fabricated for this study: two MPP samples are made of Aluminum and one sample is polymer-made to analyze the contribution of the panel vibration to the overall sound absorption. To support the analysis, two models are presented: a model based on the acoustic propagation in short and narrow tubes and a model based on the equivalent fluid. Both models are compared to the experimental data and discussed. The theory considers no interactions between the holes. It is particularly showed that the sound absorption in the low-frequency ranges can be enhanced by using the combined effects of multiple MPPs and their vibrational effects. Relatively good agreement is also observed between the prediction and the measurement. The study suggests the present technique as a relatively easy and cheap technique for enhancing the sound absorption of systems including MPPs backed by air cavity.

Forest reclamation complexes provide protection of landscapes from adverse natural phenomena. In protective plantings with the participation of balsam poplar, English oak and Norway maple at the age of 22 - 50 years, according to biometric growth indicators, balsam poplar predominates, where the differences with satellites reach 20.3 - 37.7%. Separating the oak from the poplar rows with the maple reduces the influence of the fast-growing species. Forest strips with silver birch, pedunculate oak, Norway maple and small-leaved linden at the age of 45 years when placing plants 2.5 x 0.7 m for silvicultural and reclamation properties are assessed in terms of 5b. The influence of the fast-growing species on the growth of pedunculate oak is manifested, where its lowest preservation and biometric indicators are noted among the cultivated species. Plantings create a special microclimate during the growing season in the strip zones, which is positively manifested in the formation of bioproductivity. agricultural cenoses.
