Published: February 2022

A pitangueira (Eugenia uniflora L.) pertence à família Myrtaceae, estando amplamente distribuída em países da América do Sul, principalmente no Brasil, seu centro de origem. Contudo, ainda são poucas as informações acerca dos aspectos da qualidade dos frutos apesar do seu elevado potencial. Na maturação, o fruto passa por mudanças acentuadas na coloração, resultado do acúmulo de pigmentos, como também mudanças físico-químicas que lhe conferem sabor e aroma atrativos para o consumo. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar as mudanças na qualidade de frutos de pitangueira durante a maturação. Frutos de pitangueira foram colhidos apresentando coloração da casca variando de verde amarelada até completamente vermelha. A colheita foi realizada na zona rural, Sítio Paripe, Conde-PB. Os frutos foram encaminhados para o Laboratório Multidisciplinar XI das Instituições Nova Esperança, João Pessoa-PB, sendo realizada a seleção e, com base na coloração da casca, feita a separação em três estádios de maturação. Para posterior análises físico-químicas de sólidos solúveis, pH, acidez titulável e análise de coloração utilizando o aplicativo Colorimeter. Foi observado que a acidez dos frutos da pitangueira apresentou uma redução nos valores médios do estádio Amarelo Dourado para o Completamente Vermelho, de 3,1 para 2,3 g 100 g-1. Para o pH, foi observado que os frutos mais maduros tinham um pH mais elevado. Os sólidos solúveis (SS) apresentaram uma diferença significativa entre os estádios de maturação, observando-se um aumento de 30%. Os parâmetros da coloração da casca pelo sistema CIELab avaliados pelo aplicativo mostraram que os frutos têm mudanças acentuadas ao longo de sua maturação. Desse modo, frutos de pitangueira vermelhos apresentam valores elevados para a acidez titulável e sólidos solúveis no estádio completamente vermelho. O mesmo ocorreu para o conteúdo de antocianinas e flavonoides amarelos.

Published: February 2022

A educação em saúde na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) é um procedimento voltado para reorganização dos serviços de saúde, configurando-se como sendo uma ferramenta potente para identificar e solucionar as fragilidades que ainda permeiam as ações de educação em saúde pelos profissionais da ESF. Dessa forma, esse estudo teve como objetivo identificar a concepção dos profissionais de enfermagem da Estratégia Saúde da Família sobre as ações educacionais. Tratou-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com uma amostragem de sete enfermeiros e nove técnicos em enfermagem, os quais eram profissionais de enfermagem de nove unidades da Estratégia Saúde da Família da zona urbana do município de Exu no interior do estado do Pernambuco. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, com roteiro pré-elaborado, contendo questões subjetivas, desenvolvida de dezembro de 2016 a fevereiro de 2017. Os dados foram analisados conforme a Técnica de Análise de conteúdo na modalidade Temática. A partir da análise de conteúdo emergiram três categorias: Concepções acerca da Educação Associada à Saúde; Desenvolvimento de Ações Educativas e Desafios Encontrados na Efetivação de Ações Educativas na Atenção Primária. Conclui-se que as ações educativas ainda são apontadas como sendo uma prática profissional voltada para o caráter preventivo, as quais acontecem através de metodologias que reduzem a distância entre o conhecimento dos profissionais de enfermagem e da comunidade, bem como a demanda excessiva e consequentemente a falta de tempo disponível como principal obstáculo para efetivação da educação em saúde.
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE, SOCIAL IMPACTS AND QUALITY OF LIFE: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Lima Ferreira Ialy Beatriz , De Souza Maria Clara Teles , De Lima Raísa Kettlyn Simões
Published: February 2022

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a continuous total or partial inflammation of the digestive tract, with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis being the most common forms of presentation. The most frequent signs and symptoms consist of abdominal pain, fatigue, bloody stools, diarrhea, weight loss, and vomiting, and there may be extra-intestinal manifestations. In developed countries, an increased incidence of IBD has been observed, particularly in young people of working age, impacting their quality of life as well as physical, social and psychological aspects. This is because once diagnosed with IBD, individuals encounter coping challenges, difficulties in acceptance, and lifestyle changes. Therefore, we sought to analyze the social impacts and quality of life of patients diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. A literature review was conducted in PubMed, SciELO, BVS and LILACS databases, 20 articles met the established criteria, of which 10 were selected to compose the study. Articles published between 2016 and 2021 and relevant to the topic were included, and those that did not meet the inclusion criteria or did not comprise primary data, and were duplicates were excluded. The analyzed studies showed that there was a reduction in quality of life in patients with IBD, presenting as main factors associated with this restriction the disease activity, socioeconomic factors, and the patient's age. It was denoted that this negative aspect causes limitations, mainly in the biopsychosocial performance of patients with this condition. Therefore, it is noteworthy that biopsychosocial impacts result from the manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which demonstrates the need for a qualified and humanized multidisciplinary follow-up during the evolution of these patients.
Fake in the linguistic dimension
Authors:   National Academy of Security Service of Ukraine, Pryschepa H. O.
Published: February 2022

The technologicalization of modern communications has led to the emergence of new genres of communication: media platforms, social networks, forums and blogs have embodied freedom of speech and independent thought, but at the same time have become a field of psycholinguistic technology to control the moods and behavior of Internet users. The situation that arose among Ukrainian journalists was called “extremism on the Internet” or “online extremism.” One of the manifestations of this extremism is fake. Research in this genre has become a trend in the humanities over the past five years, as fake communications are changing the audience’s perception of social events on a global scale. The most cited articles on fake, presented in the Web of Science database, address the impact of fakes on socio-political events, including the US election, Russia’s aggression in Ukraine; fake news in the media and their impact on national worldviews, civic attitudes and philosophical perceptions of reality. The Internet provides opportunities for free expression, often in an aggressive context involving different types of conflicting language behavior, including manipulation. The consequences of daily consumption of such information are as obvious as they are unpredictable. At the same time, the use of manipulative technologies for Ukraine results in a gradual decline in the international image, the destruction of the feelings of the nation and the people, the dominance of the Russian language and traditions to establish self-identification, displacing the Ukrainian language and culture. A detailed analysis of works on fakes leads to the conclusion that the study of this problem in the near future will remain a pressing issue in both academic science and politics, international relations, journalism, communications, business, management and social sciences in general; it is important to monitor the search in this direction to provide proactive counteraction to the misleading global society.
ACCENT VARIATION OF ADVERBS IN STANDARD UKRAINIAN: A DIACHRONIC APPROACH
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Hnatiuk Lidiia
Published: February 2022

The article elucidates the accent variation of adverbs in Standard Ukrainian of the 19th-21st c. with special attention to their origin and usage history. The author demonstrates that some composite adverbs have two accent variants due to century-old differences in their accentuation in the West and East variants of Standard Ukrainian. Taking into account similar and different features of some adverbs’ accentuation in East and West Ukrainian, she shows how these differences were registered in 19th c. dictionaries, and, occasionally, in 18th с. accented texts as well as 17th c. dictionaries. Dialect texts, too, demonstrate various stages of dual accentuation emergence in oral speech. Her analysis of T. Shevchenko’s poems determined that in his idiolect, adverb accentuation prevails of his native Middle-Dnieper dialect. The author discusses how groups of adverbs with variant prefix/root stress were treated by lexicographers in the 2nd half of the 20th c.–the early 21st c. In 19th c. dictionaries, they mostly have a root stress, and rarely a stress on the prefix на- or dual accentuation. The recessive prefix stress is shown to be historically determined. Due to contemporary usage, linguists’ opinions, and personal preferences and uncertainties of pronouncing and monolingual dictionaries compilers, 20th -21st dictionaries are not always consistent in registering accent variants of some adverbs. Now some adverbs lack fixed accentuation. The author proves that accent variants of Modern Standard Ukrainian adverbs are results of lengthy historic evolution featuring both dialect interaction and analogy influence.
Exploring the Effects of Grouped Connectivity on Network Synchronization in Simulated Neuron Networks
Authors:   , Tumulty Joseph Scott , Cruz Cruz Luis R
Published: February 2022

Neuronal connectivity in the cerebral cortex is far from random, with characteristics that point to a hierarchical design. Neurons form connections within columns, amorphous clusters and large communities. In this work I investigate computationally the effects of varying neuronal connectivity among groups of neurons on network synchronization for two different spatial distributions of groups: one where groups of neurons are arranged in columns in a grid and the other where neurons from different groups are spatially intermixed. The size of groups is varied as well as the orientation of the neurons (e.g. random positions, microcolumns). I compare cases by measuring the degree of neuronal spiking synchrony as a function of the number of connections per neuron and the degree of inter-cluster connectivity. I find that in all cases as the number of connections per neuron increases, there is an asynchronous to synchronous transition dependent on the number of neurons in the network and intrinsic parameters of the neuron biophysical model. In all cases I also find that with very low inter-cluster connectivity clusters have independent firing dynamics yielding a low degree of global synchrony. Most importantly, I find that for a high number of connections per neuron but intermediate inter-cluster connectivity, the networks with groups arranged in a grid are highly synchronized across the whole network while networks with intermixed groups enter a state of asynchronous high frequency activity. This phenomenon persists when the group sizes are decreased and when inhibitory neurons are added. Preliminary results suggests that a similar phenomenon occurs when neurons are grouped into microcolumns, giving these networks a distinct synchronization advantage over random networks and making them more robust against transitions to a high frequency asynchronous state. Topographical network measures such as the shortest connected distance between neurons are used to explain the variation in the degree of synchronization among the synchronized networks and to predict the transition to the high frequency asynchronous state.
Kant e a Causalidade: uma Leitura Baseada na Representação do Tempo
Authors: Bark Gehad Marcon
Published: February 2022

This paper aims at discussing the causality principle in the Kantian philosophy trough the argument presented in the Second Analogy of Experience. The main goal is to justify the unrestricted character of the principle of causality, that is, its unrestricted application to all objects of experience, through an argument based on the intuitive and a priori character of the representation of time. The discussion is introduced by a critical analysis of Henry Allison’s interpretation. This analysis, in the second section, explores Allison’s slip into a phenomenalism that seems to reduce the argument of the Second Analogy to an argument concerning our perception of objects. Finally, the last section tries to show that, through the intuitive and a priori character of the representation of time, the principle of causality can be applied to all objects of experience.
Access to Being: Elitism in M. Heidegger’s Philosophy
Authors: Belgrano Mateo
Published: February 2022

The aim of this paper is to show the elitist character of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. Heidegger, throughout his thought and in different ways, has argued for privileged access to truth. Only some will be able to glimpse the Ereignis and will have the task of bequeathing this vision to the people. I propose to analyze three figures that appear in the philosopher’s conceptual itinerary and that corroborate this hypothesis: 1. those who suffer anxiety in Being and Time; 2. the figure of the poets; 3. and the role of thinkers in late Heidegger. In short, the German philosopher has had an elitist conception throughout his thought on the access to being.
La ruptura del equilibrio contractual: hacia una tendencia común desde diferentes los diferentes derechos nacionales
Authors: Herrero Urtueta Eduardo
Published: February 2022

Uno de los pilares básicos del derecho contractual es el principio pacta sunt servanda, el cual establece la obligatoriedad de cumplir con lo suscrito en el contrato. Sin embargo, la situación actual de pandemia global ha vuelto a poner en primera línea diversas instituciones que matizan ese principio en casos de grave desequilibrio contractual. Por este motivo, es necesario realizar un estudio comparado de diversas figuras como la cláusula rebus sic stantibus, la impracticability o la excesiva onerosidad, que quiebran uno de los pilares fundamentales del derecho de contratos con el fin de establecer la existencia de cierta tendencia común a su incorporación a los ordenamientos jurídicos.
Cómo afecta la discapacidad visual de un miembro de la familia desde su nacimiento. Una mirada desde el Trabajo Social
Authors: Infante Rubio Judith , Caparrós Civera Neus
Published: February 2022

El nacimiento de un niño/a con discapacidad visual tiene un fuerte impacto en la familia, por lo que va a necesitar apoyo y acompañamiento tanto en el proceso de adaptación a la nueva situación, como en el seguimiento y evolución de la realidad en la que se van a ver inmersos. El texto que aquí se presenta recoge el impacto que tiene en las familias el hecho del nacimiento de ese nuevo miembro con discapacidad visual, a través de un estudio exploratorio sobre 19 familias, seleccionadas por un muestreo por conveniencia que, de una u otra manera, han establecido contacto con una de las instituciones, la ONCE, que se dedica a la intervención con personas con discapacidad visual. Se verá si el enfoque dado a las intervenciones es concéntrico o no, de ahí que se aborde la situación de las personas con discapacidad visual, no como un hecho aislado, sino como algo inmerso en una realidad más amplia: la familia, en lo que a progenitores y hermanos/as se refiere.
The axiological foundations of freedom phenomen: a socio-philosophical reality
Authors: Baglan Aralkhanov , Akmaral Maldybek , Assan Amangeldiyev , Beishenaliev Almazbek , Garifolla Yessim
Published: February 2022

This article analyzes and summarizes the results of historical, philosophical, and general scientific research related to the topic of freedom. The main components of the philosophical foundations of freedom that exist in the general scientific and philosophical literature are highlighted. The specificity of the problem of freedom in the context of activity theory is emphasized. The content, denotation, and axiological significance of the term "freedom management" are determined. For the first time, a synthesis of activity-based and synergetic approaches was applied to the analysis of freedom, which made it possible to analyze freedom at both the "micro" and "macro-theoretical" levels. The advantages of applying the synergetic approach to the analysis of the problem of freedom as the ability to determine the boundaries of the possible in a complex, non-linear, multivariate movement to the ideal image of the future state of the system are shown. It is shown that the measure of freedom of the subject is mainly determined by the measure of approximation to the ideal, the desire for extreme proximity to it, and as a result, the acquisition of a state of harmony. An analysis of the concepts of "freedom management" is made, and an activity-based approach is applied to the analysis of this phenomenon, which allows us to consider the concept of "freedom management" as one of the restrictions on freedom.
A philosophical interpretation of Deborah's understanding of justice in the Book of Judges
Authors: Vymetalova Hrabakova Eva , Podzimek Michal , Akimjakova Beata
Published: February 2022

The study deals with the issue of justice in the context of divine and natural law. The starting point is an analysis of selected texts from the Book of Judges, which are linked to Judge Deborah. The philosophical interpretation is based on the distinction between divine and natural law, with the main emphasis on the transcendent nature of both types of law. In the context of biblical interpretation, a judge is understood as a person who does not create law, only looks at natural law and listens to the voice of God, who reveals his will and his law. The judge, like the prophet, is the mediator between the transcendent space of God's being and will and between the immanent space of man's earthly existence. The study presents some ways of applying transcendental law in the daily practice of Israel and identifies possible problems with the current understanding of law, which is not tied to transcendent principles.
Traces of mysticism and philosophical personalism in Vladimir S. Solovyov, Nikolai Lossky and Pavel A. Florensky
Authors: Mashkin Nikolay A. , Panov Evgeny G. , Kislyakov Anatoly S. , Shevchenko Olga V. , Buzhor Evgeniya S. , Zarembo Galina V.
Published: February 2022

Our paper analyzes the intellectual heritage of three great figures of the Russian (Eastern) theological and philosophical thought, identifying, comparing, and critically appraising the selected traces of mysticism and philosophical personalism in their works. We begin by analyzing the concrete historical background relevant to the intellectual development of each of the three authors. Next, we identify both common and divergent themes and emphases in their works and attempt to understand them in the context of the then-existing discourses that had influenced their thinking. This includes the discourse on Sophiology as well as questions related to Mariological and Trinitarian doctrines debated in the Orthodox Church and beyond. Lossky’s intellectual/spiritual legacy is depicted as one with the highest holistic and integrative potential, which arises from his philosophical personalism that can legitimately be construed as “spiritual personalism.”
Shabbat as a projection of freedom in Tanakh and rabinic Judaism
Authors: Roubalova Marie , Maturkanic Patrik , Bursova Janka , Kondrla Peter , Zimny Jan
Published: February 2022

The study presents the concept of religious freedom in Judaism. It examines the Shabbat day as a consecrated day. The principle of this day is to celebrate the Lord, to experience joy, to refrain from both work and activities that are not allowed. The basic vision of freedom is to limit the influence of earthly worries, interests, and to move closer toward the Lord and the needs that are rooted in the spiritual nature of man. The study of examples from the text shows a different approach to understanding freedom from a philosophical and religious point of view. It presents the ways in which the reduction of human terrestrial orientation is achieved, including the prohibition of the mitzvah. It distinguishes between the partial goals of human existence and its ultimate goal in reaching the Lord. Restriction of freedom is interpreted as a restriction in achieving partial goals, which creates space for orientation to the last determination of man. The repetition of the Sabbat is presented as a didactic means of permanently directing man towards the final goal, which at the same time gives meaning to the existence of man as a whole being.
Assessing the philosophical legacy of Kazimierz Twardowski
Authors: Sudakova Natalia E. , Sokolova Natalia L. , Tantsura Tatyana A. , Ryazanova Elena L. , Evgrafov Alexander A.
Published: February 2022

As a proponent of the non-idealistic philosophy of language, more precisely, German philosophy of language, Kazimierz Twardowski was the intellectual pioneer of the theory of intentionality, truth, and predication. His aim was to develop a theory of scientific philosophy that would be characterized by vigor and exactness. While, on the one hand, Twardowski’s scientific philosophy may be portrayed as strongly intellectualistic, his approach was not scientistic. It is reasonable to argue that Twardowski owed his philosophical outlook to his tutor, Franz Brentano who inspired Twardowski to make distinctions between the object and the content of a presentation within the frame of reference of mental acts’ intentionality. Among his lasting contributions are (1) his formulation of the judgment-based theory of knowledge, (2) his conviction and elaboration of the concept of time-independent truth, (3) his concept of metaphilosophy, and (4) his emphasis on analysis as a viable method in philosophical deliberations.

Authors: Panjeshahin Asieh , Salehi-Abargouei Amin , Ghadiri-Anari Akram , Rasouli Ahmadreza , Hosseinzadeh Mahdieh
Published: February 2022

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine abnormality among reproductive-aged women. This study aimed to investigate the relevance of major nutrient patterns and PCOS. Methods: This age-body mass index (BMI) matched case-control study was conducted among 216 women with and without PCOS. The validated 178-items food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used for driving nutrient patterns. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between nutrient patterns and odds of PCOS. Results: Four major nutrient patterns were identified (65% of the variances of nutrient intake), including factor 1) high in carbohydrate, saturated fatty acids (SFA), total fat, and low in Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), factor 2) high loadings of SFA, cholesterol, vitamin D, total fat, and total fiber, factor 3) high in total fiber, EPA, DHA, chrome, vitamin C, vitamin D, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and factor 4) high loaded by fat, sodium, SFA, and low in vitamin D. Factor 1 and factor 4 nutrient patterns significantly increased the odds of PCOS (OR = 7.42; 95% CI 2.86, 18.1; Ptrend < 0.001) and (OR = 11.32; 95% CI 4.3, 29.97; Ptrend < 0.001), respectively. Also, the moderate adherence to factor 3 nutrient pattern had a protective effect on odds of PCOS (OR = 0.77; 95% CI 0.39, 0.98; Ptrend = 0.04). Conclusion: It was found that factor 1 nutrient pattern increased the odds of PCOS and factor 3 nutrient pattern decreased the risk of PCOS. More prospective studies are required to confirm the study findings.

Published: February 2022

Background: Adolescence may be accompanied by abnormalities in menstrual cycles that result in a higher incidence of sleep problems and related psychological disorders. Dietary factors can intensify or improve sleep problems. This study aimed to evaluate the association between sleep problems and habitual dietary patterns among Iranian adolescent girls. Methods: This study was conducted in cities of Mashhad and Sabzevar, northeastern Iran. A total of 752 adolescent girls aged 12-18 years were recruited from several schools by using a random cluster sampling method. A valid and reliable food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to obtain the dietary intakes of the girls. Validated Iranian versions of the questionnaires were used to assess insomnia and daytime sleepiness prevalences. Results: Three major dietary patterns were identified based on the principal component analysis (PCA), including healthy, western, and traditional dietary patterns. No significant associations were found between the quartiles of healthy (OR: 1; 95% CI 0.62-1.59, P trend = 0.75), western (OR: 1.3; 95% CI 0.8-2.10, Ptrend = 0.16) or traditional (OR: 0.62; 95% CI 0.69-1.82, Ptrend = 0.64) dietary patterns and sleep insomnia. In addition, there were no significant relationships between the quartiles of  healthy (OR: 0.85; 95% CI 0.54-1.69, P trend = 0.84), western (OR: 0.81; 95% CI 0.49-1.32, Ptrend = 0.55) or traditional (OR: 1.07; 95% CI 0.66-1.74, Ptrend = 0.9) dietary patterns and daytime sleepiness. Conclusions: No significant association was observed between dietary patterns and insomnia or daytime sleepiness among adolescent girl participants.

Artichoke has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and countless medicinal properties. Artichoke inhabits reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals due to phenolic acids and flavonoid compounds and also suppresses the activation pathway of NF-κB, thereby could reduce oxidative stresses, inflammatory factors, and prevent suppressing red blood cells probably. It has also been suggested for traditional medicine including blood purification, so it can be used for anemia treatment.
Princípios de funcionamento de diferentes métodos de dessalinização de água do mar e análise paramétrica de um dessalinizador de múltiplo efeito (MED)
Authors: Siqueira Antonio Marcos de Oliveira , Martins Alexia Lara Souza , Viana Erick Eduardo Dias
Published: February 2022

O presente trabalho foi idealizado a partir de uma demanda real da Prefeitura de Fortaleza/CE de projetos de dessalinização de água do mar para abastecimento de água doce para a cidade. Em virtude disso, incialmente, explorou-se na forma de uma revisão bibliográfica os princípios de funcionamento de diferentes processos de dessalinização, suas capacidades produtivas e requerimento energético. Concluiu-se então que a Dessalinização por Múltiplo Efeito (MED) é o método mais promissor, por apresentar baixo consumo de energia se comparado aos métodos mais utilizados, pela potencialidade de autossuficiência da energia térmica requerida e por não ser necessário um pré-tratamento tão complexo, uma vez que sua operação ocorre a uma temperatura moderada. Na sequência, foi realizado um estudo de caso, envolvendo a modelagem matemática e a simulação numérica de uma instalação de dessalinização MED, utilizando-se o software Engineering Equation Solver (EES). Por fim, realizou-se uma análise paramétrica, que mostrou que o modelo utilizado para estudo de caso apresenta um bom desempenho, além de ser adaptável para a implementação em uma série de possibilidades. Desta forma, estudos de caso na área podem acarretar em modelos práticos que possam suprir as demandas existentes, bem como a adaptação de métodos como o em questão.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in the NICU does not stay in the NICU. Infants are often discharged with little concern long term, yet that is not true. Meet Linseigh, a former NICU patient who was full-term at birth and was ultimately diagnosed with NEC. In this article, we talk to Linseigh about what it was like growing up with the residual effects of NEC and even how it affects her today. This is a must-read for every NICU nurse so that families can better understand the long-term effects and know what resources to turn to for assistance.
The Typicality of the Agri-Food Product Driver of the Enhancement of Destination Tourism The Apulian Case History
Authors: Pierluigi Passaro , Di Vittorio Arianna
Published: February 2022

Typical products are becoming more and more an element of differentiation and qualification of entire territories, becoming one of their resources or, in some cases, the main resource and the real tourist attraction factor of the tourist resorts that direct their own promotion strategies of the territory to the new segments of tourist demand (tourists of taste or gastronauts, green tourists). In this sense, it becomes essential to activate synergies and commercial relations with the local economic system (for example with catering, trade, crafts) in order to actively consolidate the ancient territorial link, strengthening its image among consumers: thus, effectively serving as a promotional tool and enjoying the benefits derived from such approaches. Objective of the paper: "Indeterminacy" is the term that characterizes the concept of typicality of the agri-food product and that arises from the low level of information either of consumers and producers of agricultural raw materials and other operators in the supply chain. This work aims to analyze how much the knowledge and impact of the typical Apulian agri-food product affects the choice of the tourist destination. Methodology: The work is based on the analysis of data resulting from a survey in 2020 aimed at potential buyers of the agri-food product aimed at understanding the impact of the typical Apulian agri-food product in the choice of tourist destination. Results: The analysis carried out highlighted how the knowledge, awareness and enhancement of typical products represent a strong attractive lever for tourist flows, with a view to choosing the potential final destination. From the testimonies of the users and internal stakeholders it was clear that the typicality has not affected the value of the destination, which remains primary in the purchase intentions of potential customers, but has triggered a climb in the hierarchy of preferences of those who intend to live an experience Italian or foreign tourists, in fact, evaluate the offer enriched by the multiple nuances of the territorial tradition within a specific tourist route. Research limits: This work is intrinsically limited by the strictly qualitative nature of the survey, as well as by the analysis of a single case study. Originality: The originality of the study lies in the contribution it intends to provide to the advancement of research focused on the analysis based on the connection among the territory, typical products and tourist flows.

S’il y avait une définition qui pourrait résumer le cheminement d’Alexis, le héros du Chercheur d’or de Le Clézio, elle serait le rêve et l’apprentissage au fil de l’eau. Cet amoureux des forces naturelles se trouve submergé par le désir de l’élément aquatique sous toutes ses formes. Dès l’enfance jusqu’à l’âge adulte et malgré les nombreux initiateurs qui l’ont accompagné, l’eau reste son initiatrice mythique par excellence. Opposée à la terre et au feu, elle représente l’élément qui est à la base de la mort initiatique et de la résurrection. En effet, la symbolique de l’eau évolue parallèlement avec la personnalité du héros : d’une figure maternelle bien douce à un espace de rêve atavique et mythique qui cherche une forme, vers une femme amoureuse et initiatrice pour arriver finalement à une force primordiale qui résume tous les principes fondamentaux de la vie de tous les êtres.

 

If there were a definition that could summarize the journey of Alexis, the hero of Le Clézio's The Prospector (original French title: Le Chercheur d’Or), it would be dreams and learning along water. This lover of the natural forces is overwhelmed by the desire for the aquatic element under all its forms. From childhood to adulthood and in spite of the many mentors who have accompanied him, water remains his one true mythical teacher. Opposed to earth and fire, it represents the element at the root of death and resurrection. Indeed, the symbolism of water evolves in parallel with the personality of the hero: from a gentle mother figure to an atavistic and mythical dreamscape that seeks form. Towards a woman in love and initiating to finally arrive at a primordial force that summarizes all the fundamental principles of life and of all beings.

This study examines the effect of doping Si0.3Sn0.7Ge with an impurity element X (B, Al, N, or P) on the Sn site, using first-principle calculations based on the fully self-consistent Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method with the coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA). To treat several forms of chemical disorders of Si0.3Sn0.7Ge, X-doping was carried out by substituting small amounts of Sn with each element X, which gives rise to the alloy Si0.3Sn0.7-yXyGe. As the X content increases from y = 0.01 to 0.06, the Fermi level maintains its position in the conduction band edge. While the number of states at the Fermi level decreases. With 1% X impurity added to the alloy Si0.3Sn0.7-yXyGe, the number of carriers (electron and hole) states was generally enhanced. For the case of X = P, when compared to the parent material Si0.3Sn0.7Ge, an enhancement of 0.04 states/eV was observed. Due to the increase in the number of states, which indicates an improvement in thermopower, these alloys Si0.3Sn0.7-yXyGe are promising for application as n-type electrodes in a thermoelectric generator (TEG).

The present work was initiated in order to evaluate the composition, structure and diversity of the flora of the Manda National Park (MNP) to contribute to its sustainable management. The survey area is a square plot of 1m x 1m and a semi plot of 10m x 10m respectively for grassy savannah and shrub savannah and a rectangular plot of 50m x 20m for woodland and tree savannah. The diameter at breast height and total height of all woody individuals were measured. The floristic inventory resulted in a total of 12885 individuals belonging to 102 species, 81 genera and 34 families. The tree savannah (78 species, 59 genera and 26 families) and woodland (65 species, 54 genera and 24 families) are richer in taxonomic groups than the shrub savannah (38 species, 32 genera and 16 families) and the grassy savannah (19 species, 18 genera and 8 families) The average density of the park and its Shannon index are respectively 1956 ind/ha and 2.82 bits. For these plant formations, their density and Shannon index are highest in the tree savannah (3507 ind/ha and 3.11 bits) and lowest in the shrub savannah (1133 ind/ha and 2.03 bits). The Piélou index for each of the plant formations is low (0.19 to 0.25), indicating a poor equi- distribution of individuals between the different species for the plant formations. In the woodland, the diametrical and vertical distributions are bell-shaped and skewed to the right, centered on young individuals. In contrast, in the Tree and Shrub Savannahs the distributions are in the shape of an inverted "J", characteristic of a formation dominated by juvenile individuals. These results lead to the conclusion that the Manda Park has a good species diversity and is under anthropic pressure due to the destruction of its vegetation cover.

This article presents, for the first time, the efficacy and curing depth analysis of photo-thermal dual polymerization in metal (Fe) polymer composites for 3D printing of a 3-component (A/B/M) system based on the proposed mechanism of our group, in which the co initiators A and B are Irgacure-369, and charge-transfer complexes (CTC), respectively; and the monomer M is TMPTA filled by Fe. Our formulas show the depth of curing (Zc) is an increasing function of the light intensity, but a decreasing function of the Fe and photoinitiator concentrations. Zc is enhanced by the additive [B] which produces extra thermal radical for polymerization under high temperature. The heat (or temperature) increase in the system has two components : (i) due to the light absorption of Fe filler, and (ii) heat released from the exothermic photopolymerization of the monomer. The heat is transported to the additive (or co-initiator) [B] to produce extra radical R' and enhance the monomer conversion function (CF). The CF has two opposite trends in their time profiles: (i) for small Fe concentration (F), it is a time decaying function; and (ii) for large Fe, it is a time increasing profile. This switching feature predicted by our formula is also justified by our measured data. The Fe filler leads to temperature increase, but also limits the light penetration leading to lower CF and Zc, which could be overcome by the additive initiator [B] in thick polymers. the new finding of optimal Fe for maximal CF and Zc are explored theoretically.

Published: February 2022

In this review, we provide an overview of the most common majority and minority charge carrier traps in n-type 4H-SiC material. We focus on the results obtained by different applications of junction spectroscopy techniques. The basic principles behind the most common junction spectroscopy techniques are given. These techniques, namely, deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), Laplace DLTS (L-DLTS) and minority carrier transient spectroscopy (MCTS) have led to recent progress in identifying and better understanding of the charge carrier traps in n-type 4H-SiC material.

Tick borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is the causative agent of Tick borne encephalitis in humans, a severe zoonosis occurring in the Paleartic region mainly transmitted through ticks belonging to the genus Ixodes. In Italy, TBEV is restricted to few foci in the north-eastern part of the country. This report describes for the first time a case of clinical TBE in a roe deer, occurred in the Belluno province, Veneto region, an area highly endemic for the presence of the virus. The affected roe deer showed ataxia, staggering movements, muscle tremors and persistent teeth grinding causing hypersalivation. At necropsy, the macroscopic picture was inconclusive. RNA of TBEV was detected by real-time RT-PCR. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship to TBEV of the European subtype, and 100% similarity with a virus from the bordering Trento Province. The histological examination of the midbrain confirmed the viral etiology and specific immunofluorescence indicated the presence of a Flavivirus infection and characterized the pattern of infection in the neurons. This report underlines for the first time the occurrence of clinical encephalitic manifestations due to TBEV in a roe deer, thussuggesting to include this pathogen in the frame of differential diagnosis in this species.

Fluorine represents a privileged building block in pharmaceutical chemistry. Diethylaminosulfur-trifluoride (DAST) is a reagent commonly used for replacement of alcoholic hydroxyl groups with fluorine and is also known to catalyze water elimination and cyclic Beckmann-rearrangement type reactions. In this work we aimed to use DAST for diversity-oriented semisynthetic transformation of natural products bearing multiple hydroxyl groups to prepare new bioactive compounds. Four ecdysteroids, including a new constituent of Cyanotis arachnoidea, were selected as starting materials for DAST-catalyzed transformations. The newly prepared compounds represented combinations of various structural changes DAST was known to catalyze, and a unique cyclopropane ring closure that was found for the first time. Several compounds demonstrated in vitro antitumor properties. A new 17-N-acetylecdysteroid (13) exerted potent antiproliferative activity and no cytotoxicity on drug susceptible and multi-drug resistant mouse T-cell lymphoma cells. Further, compound 13 acted in significant synergism with doxorubicin without detectable direct ABCB1 inhibition. Our results demonstrate that DAST is a versatile tool for diversity-oriented synthesis to expand chemical space towards new bioactive compounds.
Similarity Solutions of Two Dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layers by Prandtl Mixing Length Modelling
Authors: Sun Bohua
Published: February 2022

The exact similarity solutions of two dimensional laminar boundary layer were obtained by Blasius in 1908, however, for two dimensional turbulent boundary layers, no similarity solutions (special exact solutions) have ever been found. In the light of Blasius' pioneer works, we extend Blasius similarity transformation to the two dimensional turbulent boundary layers, and successfully transform the two dimensional turbulent boundary layers partial differential equations into a single ordinary differential equation. By author's Maple code, we numerically solve the ordinary differential equation and produce some useful quantities.
