A equiparação da licença-paternidade à licença-maternidade como condição necessária para a efetivação do direito fundamental à igualdade de gênero nas relações de trabalho
Authors: Leite Carlos Henrique Bezerra , Oliveira Eliza Thomaz de
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo visa analisar como a decisão proferida pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, em julgamento à Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade n° 20, que determinou ao Poder Legislativo a regulamentação da licença paternidade no prazo de 18 (dezoito) meses, pode contribuir para a efetivação do direito fundamental à igualdade de gênero nas relações de trabalho. Tal investigação é relevante considerando que, atualmente, não obstante estarem positivados os direitos ao trabalho e à maternidade, as mulheres ainda sofrem com a segregação. A pesquisa pretende responder ao seguinte problema: como a equiparação da licença paternidade à licença-maternidade pode contribuir para a efetivação da igualdade de gênero nas relações de trabalho? Para se chegar a uma resposta, pelo método do materialismo histórico dialético, utilizaremos a matriz teórica marxista, sobretudo na obra de Engels, no tocante à divisão sexual do trabalho, a fim de se compreender como a histórica divisão sexual do trabalho influencia a subjugação da mulher na atualidade. Da mesma forma, busca-se a percepção da omissão legislativa em questão como estratégia patriarcal que afeta a sociedade e compromete a efetivação do direito fundamental à igualdade, à maternidade e ao trabalho, impactando, portanto, a própria democracia.

Published: June 2024

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of cysteine on freezability and in vivo fertility of buffalo bull spermatozoa. Twenty-four ejaculates from four healthy breeding Murrah buffalo bulls were collected using artificial vagina. Qualified semen ejaculates (1-2 ml volume; >70% initial progressive motility; >4 mass activity; 1.0 billion/ml concentration) were diluted with Tris-citric acid extender containing 0.0 mM (control), 2.5 mM, 5.0 mM, 7.5 mM and 10.0 mM cysteine at 37oC and cryopreserved following standard protocol. The post-thaw semen was evaluated for CASA-based sperm motion traits, viability, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity and oxidative stress. The sperm total and progressive motility, viability and plasma membrane integrity were higher in extender containing 2.5 mM/ml of cysteine compared to other concentrations. Acrosome integrity exhibited no difference in all groups with cysteine compared to control. Regarding sperm kinematics, addition of cysteine (2.5 mM/ml and 5.0 mM/ml) to extender significantly improved VCL and VAP as compared to other groups. The oxidative stress (MDA production) was significantly lower in extender supplemented with cysteine (5.0 mM/ml and 2.5 mM/ml) than in other groups. A total of 40 artificial inseminations were performed with the best evolved cysteine-supplemented extender (2.5 mM) based on the evaluation of post-thaw sperm attributes and control (20 each). In vivo fertility rates of buffalo semen were recorded non-significantly higher with extender supplemented with cysteine (2.5 mM; 55%) compared to control (0.0 mM; 45%). In conclusion, supplementing 2.5 mM cysteine in extender improved the post-thaw quality of Murrah buffalo bull semen.

Published: June 2024

The present study was conducted on twelve dogs randomly divided into two groups, viz. group A and B irrespective of age, breed and sex. Animals of group A were premedicated with atropine sulphate at the dose rate of 0.04 mg/kg body weight subcutaneously while in group B, atropine sulphate at the dose rate of 0.04 mg/kg body weight subcutaneously and dexmedetomidine at the dose rate of 5µg/kg body weight intravenously were administered at 5 min interval. Tiletamine-zolazepam was administered intravenously as induction agent and maintenance with sevoflurane in both the groups of animals. Clinico-physiological, haemodynamic and biochemical parameters were evaluated at various time intervals. Induction time was significantly lower whereas duration of anaesthesia, recovery time and complete recovery time were significantly higher in animals of group B as compared to group A. Excellent muscle relaxation and good analgesia was observed in the animals of group B. Abolition of pedal reflex and palpebral reflex was better in the animals of group B as compared to group A. Physiological parameters fluctuated within the normal limits. Significant decrease in PR interval and significant increase in QRS interval was recorded in the animals of group A. Non-significant changes were observed in the biochemical parameters except significant increase in the serum glucose level was observed at 30 min to 1 h in both the groups of animals. Thus, it was concluded that the anaesthetic combination of atropine-dexmedetomidine-tiletamine-zolazepam-sevoflurane produces better sedation, muscle relaxation and analgesia as compared to atropine-tiletamine-zolazepam-sevoflurane anaesthesia.

Objective. To analyze the use of the Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM), an hemodynamic monitoring system, in evaluating intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamic instability in patients undergoing endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm, and to evaluate if the decision to refer patients to a ordinary ward or to a Cardiac Step-Down Unit (CSDU) after the intervention on the basis of intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring could be more cost-effective.
Materials and Methods. After preoperative clinical evaluation, 44 patients were divided in this non-randomised study into two groups accord- ing to their postoperative destination: Group 1-ward (N=22) and Group 2-CSDU (N=22). All patients underwent monitoring with PRAM during the intervention and in the 24 postoperative hours, measuring several indices of myocardial contractility and other hemodynamic variables.
Results. According to the variability of two parameters, Stroke Volume Variation and Pulse Pressure Variation, patients were classified as stable or unstable. Unstable patients showed a significant alteration in several hemodynamic indices, in comparison to stable ones. According to the intraoperative monitoring, eight high risk patients could have been sent to an ordinary ward due to their stability, with a reduction in the improper use of CSDU and, consequently, in costs.
Conclusions. Hemodynamic monitoring with PRAM can be useful in these patients, both for intraoperative management and for the choice of the more appropriate postoperative setting, possibly reducing the improper use of CSDU for hemodynami- cally stable patients who are judged to be at high risk preoperatively, and re-evaluating low surgical risk patients with an unstable intraoperative pattern, with a possible reduction in costs.

Published: June 2024

Mycorrhizal fungi form mutualistic relationships with the majority of terrestrial plants, influencing nutrient uptake, soil structure, plant growth, and ecosystem functioning. The diverse types of mycorrhizal associations, including arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM), ectomycorrhizae (ECM), ericoid mycorrhizae (ERM), and orchid mycorrhizae (ORM), each contributing uniquely to plant health and soil ecosystems. Mechanisms of interaction, such as fungal colonization, nutrient exchange, signaling pathways, and carbon allocation, underscore the complexity and significance of these symbioses. Mycorrhizal fungi enhance ecosystem functioning by improving nutrient cycling-particularly the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles-stabilizing soils, and increasing plant stress tolerance. Case studies in agricultural systems demonstrate how mycorrhizal inoculation can improve crop yields and soil health, while natural ecosystems illustrate their role in supporting biodiversity and resilience. In restoration ecology, mycorrhizal fungi aid in the recovery of degraded lands, enhancing plant establishment and soil stability. Urban and industrial landscapes also benefit from mycorrhizal associations, which support vegetation in challenging environments. Despite advancements, significant knowledge gaps and technological limitations persist, particularly regarding the ecological specificity of mycorrhizal fungi and their interactions within the soil microbiome. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary approaches and integrating mycorrhizal research into policy and management practices. Such integration can enhance sustainable agricultural practices, promote biodiversity conservation, and mitigate climate change impacts. Future research should focus on advancing molecular techniques, improving in situ study methods, and fostering collaboration across scientific disciplines to fully harness the ecological and agricultural potential of mycorrhizal fungi. This comprehensive understanding of plant-mycorrhizal interactions is crucial for developing strategies to sustain healthy ecosystems and improve agricultural productivity in the face of environmental challenges.
Heterogeneous lithification across a legacy coastal slag bank: the creation of new sedimentary rock from anthropogenic material
Authors: Hilderman Robin , MacDonald John , Griffin Sammy , Slaymark Charlotte , Einsle Joshua , Monaghan Andrew
Published: June 2024

Lithification of artificial ground comprising by-products of legacy iron and steel workings presents a range of opportunities including atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) storage. The natural environmental processes altering these waste sites can also pose challenges such as ecotoxic metal leaching, and so it is important to characterise these largely undocumented anthropogenically-derived rocks. This study documents the lithification mechanisms, as well as mineralogical and geochemical characteristics across a legacy coastal iron and steel slag deposit (in Warton, England). X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of the slag deposit, as well as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the cream-coloured material covering the deposit, shows lithification both on the top surface and the seaward side above the mean high-water mark (MHWM), which is the result of carbonate mineralisation. This process is driven by water weathering slag minerals (gehlenite, åkermanite, and pseudowollastonite), which release calcium (Ca). Ingassed and hydroxylated atmospheric CO2 reacts with the leached Ca to form calcite that is slightly to strongly depleted in 13C (δ13C values: -6.4 ‰ to -22.7 ‰), following partial dissolved inorganic carbonate (DIC) equilibrium. Calcium-silicate-hydrate (CSH) precipitation was responsible for lithifying the deposit where more frequent and abundant seawater washing prevents subsequent slag mineral dissolution and carbonate precipitation. This work shows that legacy iron and steel slag deposits are prone to lithification, particularly in coastal settings. This lithification can draw down atmospheric CO2 and has the potential to slow the release of toxic metals from CSH precipitation, enhancing the possibility for repurposing legacy industrial waste for CO2 storage and coastal defence applications.
Evaluation of ventricular arrhythmia in children with Wilson's disease; cardiac electrophysiological balance index (iCEB)
Authors: Ertaş Kerem , Gül Özlem , Demirbaş Fatma
Published: June 2024

Aim: To evaluate cardiac involvement in Wilson's disease (WD) noninvasively by electrocardiography and to analyze it with the cardiac electrophysiological balance index (iCEB).
Method: Eighteen Wilson patients and 18 healthy child patients who were followed up in the Pediatric Gastroenterology department between 2022-2023 were included in the study.
Results: Wilson disease patients had normal ventricular and autonomic functions. QT-dispersion (QT-d) (22.61 (±11.47), p=0.000) and Tpe (66.50 (40-78), p=0.02) were found to be significantly higher in the WD group. QRS, QRS-dispersion (QRS-d), QT, QTc, Tpe/QT ratio, Tpe/QTc ratio, QT/QRS ratio, QTc/QRS ratio, Tpe/QRS ratio, Tpe/(QT*QRS) ratio both had similar values in the groups. Heart rate variability parameters (SDNN, SDNN-i, SDANN, rMSSD, pNN50, LF/HF ratio) were at similar values in both groups. rMSSD, pNN50, which indicates parasympathetic activity, was lower in Wilson patients than in the control group, but no statistical difference was detected. LF/HF ratio was significantly higher in WD patients.
Conclusions: Despite normal ventricular function and autonomic function in WD patients, they have an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia. Although the cardiac electrophysiological balance index (iCEB) can provide useful information in the follow-up of WD patients, we recommend that depolarization, repolarization times, and repolarization dispersion times be evaluated separately in addition to iCEB.

MULCHING: A SUSTAINABLE TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE THE CROP PRODUCTION
Authors: Anushree Miss , V. S Vidya , B. Rekha
Published: June 2024

As the population of India is continuously rising we have to adopt certain ways of sustaining our agricultural growth and it can be achieved through conservation farming. Mulching has many strategic effects on soil ecosystem, crop growth and climate. It has become an important practice in modern crop production due to benefits such as reduced weed competition, moisture conservation, decrease in certain insect pests, improved yields of crops and more efficient use of soil nutrients. The most common mulching material is plastic, especially black polyethylene, which is used almost everywhere because of its low cost and production-proven benefits. Biodegradable films are also becoming more popular in fieldbecause they can be left there safely after harvesting but are less durable and cost much more than plastics. Generalizations are difficult to make because different mulching materials have been employed for various agricultural and horticultural species in various climatic situations. Results vary depending on the chosen strategy, growth techniques, environmental factors, and species

Authors: Kumari A. Lalita , Jagli Dr. Dhanamma Shanar
Published: June 2024

The effective encoding of categorical data is crucial in machine learning to capture their true importance and enhance model performance. This study presents a comprehensive analysis and comparison of various encoding strategies for nominal features. The chosen metric for evaluation involves training a supermodel, specifically LightGBM, which internally handles categorical variables and determines feature importance. Additionally, a baseline model, logistic regression without hyperparameter tuning, is trained using encoded data from each encoder. Coefficients are extracted from the baseline model, with higher magnitudes indicating greater feature importance. The performance of encoders is then assessed by comparing these coefficients with the feature importance of the supermodel. This study demonstrates the efficacy of different encoders across three datasets. The findings of this study provide valuable insights and practical guidelines for practitioners in selecting appropriate encoding methods for high cardinality categorical features. Leave One Out encoder consistently emerged as a top performer, followed by James Stein, M-Estimate, and CatBoost encoders. These findings can be applied in various domains, including finance, marketing, and data analysis pipelines, to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of machine learning models that handle categorical data
A REVIEW OF SEGMENTATION TECHNIQUES ON MEDICAL IMAGES
Authors: Arumugam Sajeev Ram , Karuppasamy Sankar Ganesh , Gowr P Sheela , Rajeshram V.
Published: June 2024

A recent development in medical image processing called medical image segmentation has dramatically increased healthcare long-term viability. Medical image segmentation is a critical task in contemporary healthcare. It enables accurate delineation of anatomical features, tumours, and diseased regions, which facilitates precise analysis and diagnosis. Thus, image segmentation is the crucial technique for enabling the discovery, characterization, and visualization of the regions of interest in any medical image. In addition to being complex and prolonged, the clinician manual segmentation of the medical image is also not very precise, mainly in light of the budding scope of medical imaging processes and the irresistible volume of medical images that want to be analyzed. Therefore, it is vital to explore current image segmentation techniques utilizing automated algorithms that are defined and demand the smallest amount of user input, particularly for medical images. Identifying and isolating the anatomical structure during the segmentation process is vital. The significance of image segmentation in extracting decision-making information is projected in this study, and existing medical imaging methods are discussed with numerous research breakthroughs. The segmentation methods used on medical images are thoroughly examined in this paper, which spans a wide range of imaging modalities and approaches. The research technique includes a precise search of the literature, the extraction of pertinent studies, and a thorough analysis of their methodologies and results. The segmentation of studies according to imaging modalities, segmentation goals, and assessment metrics was part of the research approach. The review also highlights how important it is to select evaluation standards that are appropriate for the segmentation task.

Efficient and reliable transportation is crucial in today’s fast-paced world, necessitating innovative so-lutions to overcome the limitations and concerns associated with traditional car booking systems. With the help of a user-friendly system, passengers would be able to travel more happily, safely, and affordably thanks to the PoLo project. This is based on the idea of getting a ride with a stranger that is safe. It enables the drivers and passengers to keep an eye on one another while also allowing the passengers to choose their fellow travelers based on personal information. The main advantage of this strategy is that all available rides and passengers with the same destination and source route may be listed nearby, saving time for travelers who would otherwise have to scour the entire road for a transport. An individual will be able to view the travel companions while also splitting the cost equally among all passengers hence reducing the actual cost. Additionally, the application is successful in keeping track of each rider’s trip information for whom rides have been completed. One of the projects that will improve and streamline the sharing of travel experiences is POLO-S

Published: June 2024

The three solar system’s maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques Perturb and Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (InC), and a fuzzy logic-based tracking methodology are fully evaluated in this study. In the three techniques under investigation P&O, InC, and the FLC algorithm the operating point oscillates around the maximum power point during steady-state operation, causing energy loss from the output panel. This research highlights this problem in all three of these systems. Through simulation results, it is shown that the proposed fuzzy logic controller (FLC) offers more precise and rapid maximum power tracking than the other systems under discussion. This research sheds light on FLC’s potential to improve solar system’s efficiency and performance

In this situation the consumer accesses anything without disrupting the hosting location. Cloud infrastructure is the most prominent platform that aims to fulfill the idea of "computing services any time anywhere." The main aim of this chapter is commoditizing the computer services managed on distributed environments. Most of the enterprises often strive to optimize the income and reduce costs. Although IT is the essential requirement of any small business but it is not simple for them to develop and manage infrastructure. In this case, Cloud emerged with a solution to reserve the computing services. Cloud computing is a model for allowing omnipresent, easy, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable data resources ( e.g. networks , servers , storage, applications and services) that can be easily distributed and published with minimal management or service provider interaction. Cloud industry development has carried with some desirable circumstances for the submission of significant work-flow applications on a scale. Specifically, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) creates a readily usable, adaptable and flexible framework for bringing such systems together
