Turmeric paste is prized for its color, aroma, and antioxidant properties, serving as a key ingredient in both culinary and traditional medicinal practices. The surge in spice consumption reflects growing consumer awareness of healthy lifestyles and the need for natural preservatives in processed foods. However, the paste's high water content poses challenges for storage stability, necessitating safe preservation methods without chemical additives. Salt addition, a traditional preservative, raises concerns about excessive sodium intake. Spice irradiation emerges as a recognized preservation technique, reducing losses, enhancing shelf life, and ensuring microbiological safety. This study aims to evaluate the storage stability of turmeric paste treated with irradiation (4, 6, and 8 kGy) and salt (10, 20, and 30%) under varying temperatures (4-6°C and 25-27°C) over 30 days. Results indicate minimal differences in water content, pH, color, and curcumin levels between irradiated and salt-treated paste. Salt-treated paste exhibits superior microbiological quality, suggesting it provides better storage stability compared to irradiation. However, considering health concerns related to high salt intake, a formulation combining 20% salt with 8 kGy irradiation stored at chiller temperature is recommended for optimal storage quality.

Patients with cancer often have poor nutritional status, which further deteriorates as the disease progresses. Systematic assessment of the nutritional status is essential to determine the nature of intervention required for each individual. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Meghalaya, North East, India with the primary objective of assessing the nutritional status of cancer patients. The secondary objectives were to assess the diet pattern of cancer patients and the nutritional intervention, which was provided as per the nutritional status. A total of 100 patients who consented to participate were selected consecutively for this study and were interviewed by the first author. Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PGSGA) parameters and other parameters like anthropometry, biochemical values and dietary pattern to assess the nutritional status were used. Majority of them (60%) had Gastrointestinal cancer. The nutritional status of the participants, using the PG-SGA Global Assessment Categories, indicated that 84% of the participants were suffering from moderate to severe malnutrition. An analysis of the weight loss showed that 38% of the participants had a weight loss of 20% or greater in the previous 6 months. The diet pattern of the participants clearly indicated a decrease in the frequency of consumption of dietary fibre derived from wholegrains, whole grams and fruits. The study findings also revealed that 75% of the participants had an altered food intake pattern. As per the PGSGA parameter of symptoms which have an impact on nutritional intake, 40% of the participants were not feeling up to most things, but in bed or chair less than half a day. Based on these data regarding the food intake, nutritional related symptoms and the rate of activity, it clearly indicates that most of the participants were malnourished. Nutritional intervention should be provided to all cancer patients once they are diagnosed in order to prevent the severity of malnutrition.

Animals as offenders?

In Dutch history five cases are known of animals that received the death penalty after ‘committing a crime’. Nowadays it sounds rather strange to present animals as offenders. Does that mean that no contemporary examples can be found of animals being presented as offenders? Before answering that question some outlooks on judicial and criminological ideas are presented on offending by human and other animals. Next the debate on invasive exotic species and the threats to biodiversity, health and other risks, and the discussion about the dangers regarding pit bulls is described in order to illustrate that in this day and age there still seems to be a risky anthropomorphic and anthropocentric tendency to present animals as offenders.
GRAIN INTERACTION AND ELASTIC STRAIN DISTRIBUTION IN POLYCRYSTALLINE MATERIALS
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, SHAVSHUKOV V.E.
Published: August 2024

Statistical value distributions of the elastic strain and stress tensor components in the grains of polycrystalline materials are necessary to calculate the probabilities of various local critical events, such as damage and others, which are of random origin due to the stochastic grain structure. Many experimental and computational studies suggest that these distributions can be approximated by a normal distribution. The normal distribution parameters are determined from histogram-like plots obtained experimentally or by computer simulation. Most published histogram distributions are highly skewed, in contrast to the normal distribution. Here we present a new direct calculation method for the probability distribution densities of the elastic strain tensor components. The method uses an integral equation for strains in heterogeneous solids, which reduces the solution of the boundary value problem of polycrystal deformation to the sum of solutions of some problems for neighbour grains. The focus is on the influence of random grain interactions on the strain distribution. Calculations are carried out for polycrystals with different elastic symmetries and degrees of grain anisotropy. All probability densities are finite, asymmetric, and noticeably different from Gaussian ones. It is shown that very few particularly located neighboring grains (out of dozens) have a much greater effect on the distribution pattern and limiting values of the strain tensor components than all the others.

This study reveals the impact of the formation mechanism of a two-phase (β + γ) structure during heat treatment on thermoelastic L21(B2)-10M/14M-L10 martensitic transformations and the elastocaloric effect parameters in Ni54Fe19Ga27 alloy polycrystals. It is shown experimentally that annealing of the initial Ni54Fe19Ga27 alloy in the temperature range 1173-1463 K for 0.5 h followed by water quenching leads to the precipitation of the γ phase at the boundaries and in the bulk of grains. As the annealing temperature increases from 1173 to 1463 K, the thickness of the γ-phase layer at the grain boundaries doubles, the particles within the grains enlarge, and their volume distribution becomes inhomogeneous. Simultaneously, the characteristic martensitic transformation temperatures increase by 31-69 K. The inhomogeneous distribution of γ-phase particles and the morphological features of martensite (twin martensite structure refinement) lead to a 5-6-fold increase in the martensitic transformation intervals in crystals after annealing at 1448 K compared to the initial state. After cyclic superelastic tests with 20 to 100 loading/unloading cycles, two-phase (β + γ) polycrystals demonstrate a stable adiabatic cooling value ∆Tad (2.7-3.0 K) and do not crack along grain boundaries, unlike the initial state. Significant fatigue strength together with high efficiency (COP (coefficient of performance) up to 18.3) make Ni54Fe19Ga27 (β + γ) polycrystals promising for practical use in solid-state cooling.

Сварка трением с перемешиванием является относительно новым способом соединения твердых материалов с использованием неплавящегося инструмента для сварки деталей без плавления материалов. Данная технология широко применяется в различных отраслях промышленности, включая автомобилестроение, судостроение, авиакосмическую отрасль. Разрушающие испытания являются неотъемлемой, но очень затратной частью прикладных технических исследований. В связи с этим актуальной становится задача сокращения количества разрушающих испытаний за счет использования численных методов для контроля качества сварных соединений. С другой стороны, благодаря достижениям в области компьютерных технологий и встроенных сенсорных систем накоплен огромный объем данных, что привело к необходимости их эффективного использования. Функциональные данные позволяют моделировать и анализировать данные высокой размерности. В настоящей статье предложена полнофункциональная модель линейной регрессии для количественной оценки и прогнозирования качества результатов процесса за счет сокращения количества разрушающих испытаний и использования модели обнаружения точек изменения, чтобы избежать использования модели, которая учитывает изменение в одном из компонентов процесса. В представленной модели учитываются автокорреляция и корреляция. Функциональные переменные модели определяются путем полиномиального разложения базисной функции. Результаты экспериментальных испытаний показывают, что предлагаемый метод эффективен для обнаружения неконтролируемых условий и определения местоположения точки изменения. Подтверждением служат полученные значения коэффициента множественной корреляции 0.98 и соответствующее значение величины F , равное 652.95.

A educação intercultural é um enfoque educacional que promove a compreensão, o respeito e a valorização das diversas culturas presentes no ambiente educativo. Seu objetivo é criar um espaço onde as diferenças culturais sejam reconhecidas e celebradas, facilitando o diálogo e a cooperação entre grupos culturais diversos. Neste contexto, a presente pesquisa visa delinear as principais características da educação intercultural e da socioformação sob a ótica da perspectiva decolonial. Com base nas contribuições de Boaventura de Sousa Santos em seu livro “Descolonizar” (2022), a perspectiva decolonial busca reconfigurar as estruturas de poder e conhecimento dominantes, questionando e reformulando as narrativas hegemônicas para valorizar experiências e saberes marginalizados. A fundamentação teórica inclui os trabalhos de Demetrio (1994), Nanni (1998) e Santos (2022), entre outros autores relevantes. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo (Minayo, 2016), foi realizada por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica documental (Gil, 1999), utilizando terminologias relacionadas à interculturalidade, socioformação, projetos formativos e perspectiva decolonial. Os principais resultados da investigação indicam que a educação intercultural é direcionada para contextos de multiculturalidade e a presença de grupos originários, visando estabelecer um diálogo baseado no respeito, na inclusão e no reconhecimento mútuo entre diferentes culturas. Esse processo é fundamentado na colaboração e na construção compartilhada do conhecimento, conforme a perspectiva decolonial. Soma-se a isso, a socioformação que deve ser implementada em variados contextos social, educacional e comunitária através de projetos éticos que buscam a resolução de problemas reais, promovendo a conservação ambiental e incentivando um desenvolvimento social sustentável. A pesquisa conclui que, dentro do modelo intercultural, a aplicação do enfoque socioformativo é viável por meio da proposta pedagógica desenvolvida a partir da perspectiva decolonial, contando com a participação ativa de docentes, pais, alunos e da comunidade.

La ineficacia del aumento de penas en delitos graves: Un análisis del impacto en la reducción del índice delictivo en el Ecuador
Authors: Antamba -Valencia Juan Andrés , Flores- Idrovo Luis Manuel
Published: August 2024

El incremento de la delincuencia en el Ecuador ha derivado en una política de aumento de penas con la finalidad de aplacar los actos delictivos de mayor gravedad, pero esto no ha logrado reducir de forma significativa, el delito. Es en este contexto que se hace necesario cuestionar si las políticas penales implementadas, son suficientes para reducir los crímenes, las cuales deberían considerar otros elementos que puedan tener influencia en el crecimiento de la criminalidad; como, por ejemplo, los socioeconómicos. Los resultados de la presente investigación refutan las supuestas virtudes del populismo penal y se ratifica la exigencia de contar con reformas penales que no solo hagan énfasis en el castigo del infractor, sino que estas se encaminen tomando en cuenta una reforma institucional y aspectos socioeconómicos; así mismo se evidenció que los delitos más cometidos en el territorio nacional están ligados a la integridad física, sexual y la vida. El objetivo del artículo fue el de evaluar el impacto del aumento de las penas en delitos graves en el país, estudiar políticas de endurecimiento de condenas e identificar factores limitantes en la reducción de la criminalidad. La metodología utilizada fue una investigación documental y bibliográfica. En conclusión, es trascendental poder buscar enfoques más efectivos y basados en la evidencia para abordar la delincuencia en Ecuador, replanteando las políticas penales y considerando un enfoque integral que vaya más allá del aumento de penas en delitos graves, a una verdadera rehabilitación social.

However, little research has examined how spatial and physical attributes of recreational open spaces influence their use and perceptions by residents. This study investigated the role of urban planning and urban design in shaping livable recreational open spaces in Souk Ahras City, Algeria. The study used a mixed-methods approach: spatial analysis was used to map five typologies, while a survey among 426 residents was used to assess the residents’ satisfaction, use, and perception of recreational open spaces. Although several recreational spaces have been, their availability was insufficient. In addition, satisfaction levels with the spatial and physical attributes of recreational open spaces were mainly average to low. Moreover, satisfaction was positively correlated to use frequency, duration, and favorable perception, highlighting the importance of the design quality of those spaces. However, satisfaction did not predict activities undertaken, underscoring the need for considering more than just the physical aspect when new recreational open spaces are proposed. Recommendations include increasing provision and improving spatial and physical attributes. The findings provide empirical insight to guide context-specific interventions for improving developing cities’ recreational open spaces. Further research should examine interactions between space, culture, and policy across multiple developing cities.

O Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção/Hiperatividade (TDAH) é frequentemente comórbido com o Transtorno por Uso de Substâncias (TUS), criando um desafio complexo para o manejo clínico. Indivíduos com TDAH apresentam um risco elevado de desenvolver TUS, impulsionado por disfunções neurobiológicas, como a desregulação dopaminérgica, e fatores psicossociais, como o uso de substâncias para automedicação. Este estudo oferece uma revisão narrativa da literatura existente sobre a prevalente relação entre o TDAH e o Transtorno de Uso de Substâncias (TUS) em adultos. Essa interseção exige uma abordagem terapêutica integrada, que combine intervenções farmacológicas, como psicoestimulantes, com abordagens psicoterapêuticas voltadas para o manejo da impulsividade e desatenção. Estudos destacam que a triagem precoce para TDAH em pacientes com TUS, e vice-versa, é essencial para melhorar os desfechos clínicos. Programas de tratamento que abordam simultaneamente ambos os transtornos podem mitigar significativamente o impacto dessas condições, proporcionando um prognóstico mais favorável. Além disso, é importante considerar que o tratamento farmacológico pode necessitar de ajustes, como doses mais altas de psicoestimulantes em pacientes com comorbidade, devido à neuroadaptação causada pelo uso de substâncias. A complexidade da relação entre TDAH e TUS, evidenciada pela alta prevalência de coocorrência e pelos desafios terapêuticos, ressalta a necessidade de intervenções abrangentes e personalizadas para melhorar o prognóstico dos pacientes e reduzir o risco de complicações associadas.
Antonio Gramsci's Thought as a Tool for Social Transformation in Latin America
Authors: Pérez Guedes Nachely , Arufe Padrón Alfredo
Published: August 2024

Antonio Gramsci made great contributions to Marxist theory. His work presents a set of conceptual elements that allow the understanding of the historical forms in which domination is exercised. Gramsci shows the political and cultural mechanisms that support these forms. The present paper will analyze the Gramscian precepts related to the problematization of relations between the State and civil society. In addition, we will observe the journey of this thought through the region and its presence in the search for new emancipatory areas and forms of popular struggles. The study of Gramscian thought has great validity, because it constitutes a theoretical weapon in the process of strengthening and democratizing civil society. Based on a bibliographical study of the Gramscian work, the precepts relating to the problematization of relations between the State and civil society are analyzed and conclusions are reached. This study has shown the innovative nature of Gramsci’s precepts. The link he established between the class struggle and cultural aspects allowed him to enrich previous Marxist thought. The evidence of the emergence and development of a leftist intellectuality in Latin America allowed us to appreciate that Gramsci’s works led to a change of logic in the thinking of social transformation in which the Sandinista Revolution stands out, the Workers' Party in Brazil, the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, the Plurinational State of Bolivia and the Republic of Ecuador
What happens when a town hits the lottery? Participatory Budgeting and Local Politics in Mexico City
Authors: Rojas Canela Antonio
Published: August 2024

In 2019, the institutions that regulate citizen participation in Mexico City were substantially modified. This change included relevant modifications to the participatory budget (PB), such as an increase in the portion of income that the mayor's offices allocate to it and a change in the formula for allocating resources among the neighborhoods of each mayor's office. While some neighborhoods now receive much more resources, others remained almost unchanged and others receive even less. This paper analyzes the effect of this redistribution of resources both on citizen participation and on the competitiveness of the PB decision-making process
Innovative model for the integration of ICTs in rural environmental education: towards a sustainable pedagogy

Published: August 2024

This study examines the hypothesis that effective integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in environmental education, through well-designed pedagogical strategies and the development of critical digital competencies, can significantly improve sustainability learning and student engagement with environmental issues. Through a rigorous bibliometric analysis of the literature between 2018 and 2023, we developed the Model of Pedagogical Integration for Sustainability and Technology (MIPST), which is grounded in active pedagogy, critical digital competence, inclusion and accessibility, and community engagement. The findings suggest that ICT, when implemented within an appropriate pedagogical framework, not only offer valuable tools for sustainability teaching and learning, but that their success is crucially dependent on effective inclusion and community collaboration. This paper contributes to the field of environmental education by providing a detailed framework for effective ICT integration, with the potential to transform both the teaching and learning of sustainability. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of tailoring educational interventions to the specific needs of each community, ensuring that technology serves as a bridge to a more sustainable and equitable future
Eduard Bernstein's Reformist Revisionist Marxism
Authors: Bencomo Cuesta Jorge
Published: August 2024

Eduard Bernstein's reformist revisionist Marxism, expounded mainly in the late 19th century, seeks to reinterpret classical Marxism through a reformist approach. Bernstein, a key figure in the German Social Democratic Party (SPD), proposed that socialism could be achieved through gradual reforms within capitalism, rather than violent revolution. His view contrasted with the original Marxist theory that emphasized class struggle and proletarian revolution as the necessary means to achieve social change. Bernstein rejected Marx's materialist conception of history and economic determinism, arguing that ethical factors also played a crucial role in social evolution. Influenced by neo-Kantianism, Bernstein argued that history did not follow an exclusively economic predetermined course, but was open to the influence of ethical and moral values. Bernstein's revisionism was criticized by Rosa Luxemburg, who defended Marx's revolutionary theory and considered that abandoning the goal of revolution in favor of reforms within capitalism weakened the class struggle. Luxemburg asserted that proletarian emancipation could not be achieved through the use of the very structures that oppressed the workers. Despite criticism, Bernstein's ideas gained support within the SPD, reflecting a shift toward a more legalistic and parliamentary political strategy. His revisionist approach influenced the development of social democracy and contributed to fundamental debates on the road to socialism.

Introduction: sensorineural hearing loss is defined as the loss of hearing capacity, producing a difficulty or impossibility to hear normally, where there is damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve. Medical ozone has proven biological effects that make it very useful in this pathology, since it intervenes in the intracellular metabolism regulating its redox state.
Methods: a descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out in the Natural and Traditional Medicine Service of the Dr. "León Cuervo Rubio" Clinical and Surgical Teaching Hospital, with the Otorhinolaryngology Service of the General Hospital Abel Santamaría Cuadrado to evaluate the effectiveness of rectal ozone therapy in patients with Sensorineural Hearing Loss. The sample consisted of 35 patients who met the inclusion criteria. A traditional clinical history was taken and an audiometric evaluation by the ENT specialist was recorded before and after treatment with prior informed consent.
Results: The nosological entity was predominantly male and between 45 and 54 years of age. The most significant risk factors were arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, 54,20 % had good response to treatment.
