Role Of Apocrypha and Saints’ Lives, Their Transmission and Readership in The history of Childhood and Family
Authors: Vuković Marijana
Published: June 2020

The article proposes to explore the potentials of examining Apocrypha and saints’ lives in pursuit of knowledge about children, childhood, and family in the past. It first stresses a necessity to accurately define Apocrypha and saints’ lives within early Christian literature. The transmission of Apocrypha and saints’ lives in their textual varieties, the number of manuscripts they appear in, and their absence of authorship also demand further discussion. Scholars additionally do not reach the consensus over their readership, reputation, and audience in the same period. 

 Although a great deal of potential remains in these genres for the pursuances named above, one has to bear in mind the restrictions. One has to be cautious when prying out social realities from hagiography. One also has to distinguish the theological and religious aspects from the social realities and realities of everyday life in such texts, as well as to pay attention to their literary and genre aspects. Finally, one may wish to trace varieties of individual texts in manuscripts, because they sometimes give different information about our matters of interest.

Using Grammar Checkers in an ESL Context
Authors: John Paul , Woll Nina
Published: June 2020

Our study examines written corrective feedback generated by two online grammar checkers (GCs), Grammarly and Virtual Writing Tutor, and by the grammar checking function of Microsoft Word. We tested the technology on a wide range of grammatical error types from two sources: a set of authentic ESL compositions and a series of simple sentences we generated ourselves. The GCs were evaluated in terms of (1) coverage (number of errors flagged), (2) appropriacy of proposed replacement forms, and (3) rates of “false alarms” (forms mistakenly flagged as incorrect). Although Grammarly and Virtual Writing Tutor outperformed Microsoft Word, neither of the online GCs had high rates of overall coverage (<50%). Consequently, they cannot be relied on to supply comprehensive feedback on student compositions. The finding of higher identification rates for errors from simple rather than authentic sentences reinforces this conclusion. Nonetheless, since few inaccurate replacement forms and false alarms were observed, only rarely is the feedback actively misleading. In addition, the GCs were better at handling some error types than others. Ultimately, we suggest that teachers use GCs with specially designed classroom activities that target selected error types before learners apply the technology to their own writing.

Authors: THEUER Renata Valladão , Neves Simone Vilela Nunes , CHAMPS Ana Paula Silva
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Background: Motor functional neurological disorder (mFND) is a common and disabling condition. There are no evidence-based guidelines for treatment. Long-term outcome is often poor. This study describes the epidemiological profile, symptom pattern and outcome of patients admitted to the Belo Horizonte unit of the SARAH Network of Rehabilitation Hospitals from 1997 to 2018 with functional motor symptoms resulting from functional neurological disorder. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed data from 185 patients who met inclusion criteria for mFND. Diagnoses were made by multiple professionals in the presence of positive signs and excluding other neurological and systemic conditions. Results: 75.1% were women; 48.3% were receiving social security benefits. The youngest was 3 years old, the oldest 69. 23.8% were in wheelchairs, 77.2% had psychiatric disorders, 69.7% participated in rehabilitation programs and, among them, 70% improved. Conclusion: Participation in rehabilitation is beneficial for patients with mFND. Symptoms lasting for less than 30 days and aged less than 18 years had better outcomes (p<0.001).

Abstract This study aimed to establish an alternative treatment for post-harvest storage of Papaya (Carica papaya L.), var “Tainung 1” and to control major diseases at this stage. Two storage place were evaluated (room temperature and cold room); Six treatments (Control, Samurai 40ml/20l water, Serenade® 40ml/20l water, Sanatizer EUPROOFF® 10ml/20l water, EUPROOFF® + Serenade® + Samurai, Serenade® + Samurai), five storage periods (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days) and three seasons (December, January and February). Fruit weight loss (FWL), color index, number and size of lesions were evaluated and used to calculate the disease incidence and average of disease incidence. The FWL and index color of fruits were more affected by monthly variation than the treatments, especially the Samurai one. The growth of disease incidence were slower under cold room. Among the treatments, the Samurai was the most efficient,but if mixed to others products their efficiency was not observed. These results suggest that the using of Samurai only in cold room conditions can be more effective in control of post-harvest diseases of papaya.

Authors: Camargo María Antonia Martínez , Coronado Ana Cruz Morillo , Mora Edilberto Cepeda , Fernández Sandra Yaneth Mesa
Published: June 2020

Abstract The genus Passiflora, commonly known as fruits of passion, includes numerous species, including gulupa (Passiflora edulis f. edulis), of nutracetic and economic importance, both for consumption in nature and for its agro-industrial applicability. This research was developed to evaluate the effects of various pre-germinative treatments on the germination of gulupa seeds from the municipality of Ramiriquí (Boyacá), such as: exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hypochlorite of sodium (NaOCl), gibberellic acid (GA3), distilled water imbibition and stratification at 4 °C, in varying concentrations and exposure times (24 and 48 hours), using an experimental design completely random, with three repetitions of 50 seed each one. Statistical analysis showed significant differences between treatments, with H2O2 being 15% the most effective, with a germination percentage (PG) of 88% in exposed seeds for 48 hours. In the presence of NaOCl the percentages were lower 36 - 40%. GA3 at 100 ppm for 24 hours recorded 51% PG, at the other concentrations of this growth regulator and exposure times this value was lower. The use of H2O2 has not been reported as a treatment to induce germination in the genus Passiflora. These results can be applied for the treatment of seeds in plant species can be a viable, effective, economical and easily applicable alternative.

Published: June 2020

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthracnose intensity in ‘Prata-Anã’ banana with the application of three phosphite formulations in two application intervals in the developing banana bunches and to evaluate the physical and chemical characteristics of fruits. In the field, in addition to producer management, three phosphite formulations were evaluated: FCu1 (4% Cu + 20% P2O5), FCu2 (4% Cu + 22% P2O5) and FK (42% P2O5 + 27.7% K2O) sprayed on banana bunches at different application frequencies: four and eight times. The experiment was carried out in a randomized blocks design following a 5 x 2 factorial scheme, with 3 phosphite formulations, pure water and no application and two application intervals. Pure water and no application were used as control. Fruits were harvested, stored in refrigeration chamber (25 ± 1 ° C and 80 ± 5% RH) and evaluated for anthracnose incidence and severity, as well as physical and chemical characteristics. The application of copper phosphite can control anthracnose incidence by 38% and severity by 49.5%. The frequency of phosphite application does not affect anthracnose intensity. FCu1 phosphite application in ‘Prata-Anã’ banana bunches, as well as eight phosphite applications increases fresh mass loss. Phosphite application frequency affected the chemical characteristics of banana fruits.
INTERFACES SOCIOESTATAIS E INSTITUIÇÕES PARTICIPATIVAS: DIMENSÕES ANALÍTICAS
Authors: Lüchmann Lígia Helena Hahn
Published: June 2020

Resumo Mobilizando os conceitos de interfaces socioestatais e de instituições participativas, o trabalho visa apresentar algumas dimensões analíticas para o avanço dos estudos voltados à compreensão da vocação e do lugar ocupado por estas no interior do aparelho estatal, com o foco na sua inserção, ou maior ou menor integração, com outros dispositivos e programas de interfaces socioestatais. Sugerimos aqui analisar as relações das interfaces a partir das seguintes dimensões: a dimensão da vocação e da autoridade, medida por elementos como a origem, os propósitos e a competência (se são informativas, consultivas e/ou decisórias); e a dimensão do desenho institucional, medida por regras e normativas que ordenam a sua estrutura e funcionamento.
Aplicação da Oscilação Magnética Controlada ao Arco GMAW Seguindo Padrões de Lissajous Como Forma de Tecimento do Cordão para Promover Distribuição Orientada de Calor e Massa Durante o Processo de Soldagem
Authors: Juliani Luciano , Bracarense Alexandre Queiroz , Modenesi Paulo José
Published: June 2020

Resumo: A deflexão do arco por campos magnéticos permite realizar movimento de tecimento do cordão durante a soldagem utilizando sistemas mecanizados ou automáticos de deslocamento sem a necessidade de empregar dispositivos mecânicos de oscilação. Esta oscilação mecânica já é usada em alguns equipamentos comerciais, principalmente no processo GTAW. O presente trabalho descreve uma nova forma de aplicação da deflexão magnética controlada e sua potencialidade quanto à utilização industrial para promover movimentos complexos de tecimento passando este a seguir padrões paramétricos e matematicamente definidos, conhecidos como figuras de Lissajous. Este recurso pode ser uma boa alternativa quanto ao controle, repetitividade e produtividade para os processos de soldagem. Testes foram realizados nos processos GTAW e GMAW, este último com transferências por curto circuito e pulsada. Os efeitos mais evidentes da oscilação controlada do arco se deram em função do comprimento do arco, amplitude, frequência e formação de uma poça de fusão com maior ou menor volume, característicos de cada processo. No GTAW, os efeitos de tecimento foram obtidos aplicando-se os menores valores de campo magnético. Na soldagem GMAW com transferência por curto circuito, os resultados foram significativos, porém, menos evidentes. No GMAW pulsado, foi possível obter efeitos expressivos de tecimento.

Authors: Ferreira Denise Carvalho , Gonçalves Tonantzin Ribeiro , Celeste Roger Keller , Olinto Maria Teresa Anselmo , Pattussi Marcos Pascoal
Published: June 2020

RESUMO: Introdução: A pesquisa objetivou investigar a associação entre os aspectos psicossociais e o impacto das condições bucais sobre a qualidade de vida de adultos, escopo ainda pouco explorado em pesquisas nacionais. Método: Um estudo transversal de base populacional foi realizado com 1.100 adultos de 20 anos de idade ou mais, em uma cidade de médio porte do Rio Grande do Sul. O desfecho foi avaliado por meio do Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) enquanto as exposições incluíram medidas de apoio social, resiliência, senso de coerência, espiritualidade, qualidade de vida e estresse. Foram calculadas as razões de chances brutas e ajustadas, bem como seus intervalos de confiança de 95% utilizando-se regressão logística ordinal. Resultados: Após o ajuste para variáveis demográficas, socioeconômicas e comportamentais, indivíduos com baixo apoio social, baixo senso de coerência, baixa qualidade de vida e alto nível de estresse possuíam respectivamente 2,16; 2,90; 2,94; 1,50 vezes mais chance de relatar um pior impacto da condição na qualidade de vida quando comparados aos indivíduos com estas características favoráveis. Conclusões: Os achados sugerem que os aspectos psicossociais podem influenciar a avaliação que as pessoas fazem do impacto da condição bucal sobre a qualidade de vida. É importante que políticas, programas e serviços de saúde reconheçam a relação mútua entre os indicadores de saúde bucal e os aspectos psicossociais de adultos.

Authors: Massa Kaio Henrique Correa , Chiavegatto Filho Alexandre Dias Porto
Published: June 2020

RESUMO: Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre os determinantes contextuais referentes ao saneamento básico e a autoavaliação de saúde nas capitais brasileiras. Métodos: Analisaram-se 27.017 adultos (≥ 18 anos) residentes nas 27 capitais brasileiras em 2013, utilizando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS). Ajustaram-se modelos multiníveis logísticos bayesianos para analisar a associação entre a autoavaliação de saúde e a cobertura dos serviços de saneamento básico (rede de esgoto, abastecimento de água e coleta de lixo), controlando a análise por fatores individuais (primeiro nível do modelo) e renda per capita da cidade de residência (segundo nível). Resultados: A maior cobertura de serviços de saneamento básico esteve consistentemente associada à melhor percepção da saúde, mesmo após o controle pelas características individuais e contextuais. Observou-se menor chance de autoavaliação ruim de saúde entre indivíduos que viviam em capitais com média (odds ratio - OR = 0,59; intervalo de confiança - IC95% = 0,57 - 0,61) e alta (OR = 0,61; IC95% = 0,57 - 0,66) cobertura da rede de coleta de esgoto; média (OR = 0,77; IC95% = 0,71 - 0,83) cobertura de serviço de abastecimento de água; e alta (OR = 0,78; IC95% = 0,69 - 0,89) proporção de coleta de lixo. Conclusão: A associação positiva entre melhores condições de saneamento básico e a autoavaliação da saúde, independentemente dos fatores individuais e das condições socioeconômicas do local de residência, confirma a necessidade de se considerar o saneamento básico na elaboração de políticas de saúde.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is affected by different clinical conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of gingivitis on OHRQoL in adolescents. Methodology: This cohort study consisted of a random sample of 1,134 schoolchildren enrolled during 2012, in Santa Maria, Brazil. After two years, 743 adolescents were follow-up (response rate: 65.5%). Clinical, socioeconomic and OHRQoL data were collected. OHRQoL was assessed by the short Brazilian version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire 11-14 (CPQ11-14), and gingival bleeding through Community Periodontal Index. Gingivitis was considered with the presence of 15% or more bleeding sites. Poisson regression models were used to evaluate the association between gingivitis and overall and domain-specific CPQ11-14 scores. Prevalence of gingivitis at baseline was considered the main predictor for the OHRQoL at follow-up. Results: Gingivitis at baseline was associated with higher overall CPQ 11-14 score (RR = 1.07; 95%CI 1.01 - 1.14), and emotional well-being (RR = 1.17; 95%CI 1.04 - 1.31), independently of other oral conditions and socioeconomic variables. Conclusions: The findings indicate that gingivitis negatively impacts the adolescents’ OHRQoL. Moreover, gender, maternal schooling and household income were also associated with OHRQoL.

Authors: Drummond Adriano , Pimentel Wendel Rodrigo Teixeira , Pagotto Valéria , Menezes Ruth Losada de
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT: Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the association between types of dependence for basic and instrumental activities of daily living and the occurrence of falls in the elderly. Methods: A cross-sectional, population-based study using data from 23,815 elderly people drawn from the National Health Survey (NHS) in 2013. The NHS, conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Ministry of Health, presents data collected in 81,767 households in more than 1,600 municipalities. The association between the independent variable (ADL disabilities) and the dependent variable (history of falls) was performed through multiple and crude analyses, regression. Results: There was a greater association between using the toilet and transfers (ABVD) and falls, and between shopping and taking care of finances (IADL) and falls. In addition, the association between Basic Activities of Daily Living and falls was greater for up to four activities, and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living for up to three activities. Conclusion: Thus, the results obtained in the NHS reinforce the planning of preventive strategies considering the functional dependence.
POR UMA RECONSTRUÇÃO DA TRADIÇÃO DURKHEIMIANA
Authors: Gomes Neto Jayme
Published: June 2020

RESUMOS O presente texto busca debruçar-se sobre a chamada “tradição durkheimiana”, até então associada a um conjunto mais ou menos disperso de desdobramentos intelectuais, a fim de responder à seguinte pergunta: será possível encontrar, por trás dos desenvolvimentos teóricos aparentemente contraditórios de autores como Lévi-Strauss, Parsons, Goffman, e outros pretensos herdeiros do legado durkheimiano, algum tipo de esquema conceitual dotado de possibilidades lógicas de desenvolvimento a tal ponto abertas, que pudéssemos ainda alocá-los no interior de uma herança intelectual dotada de coerência e unidade? Um problema desse tipo remonta, é claro, não apenas à identidade da tradição, mas a uma possível unidade no interior da obra durkheimiana. Nossa hipótese de trabalho é de que a teoria das representações coletivas, tal como formulada pelo sociólogo francês em seus textos tardios, poderia fornecer uma possível resolução para essas questões.

Published: June 2020

Abstract: Aim Identify seasonal variations in the diet of juvenile living in the estuary of the Parnaíba River Delta. Methods Food items were identified through analysis of stomach contents, and later submitted to analysis by regular methods for Frequency of Occurrence (FO), Frequency Numerical (FN), Gravimetric Frequency (FW) and Relative Importance Index (IRI). Results Juvenile diet of Elops saurus that inhabit the lagoons in the Parnaíba delta was composed in order decreasing of importance by Osteichthyes (Teleostei), Insecta and Crustacea in addition to Polychaeta and Nematoda. It was also observed a high frequency of occurrence of fragments of plastics in the diet. In the rainy season, 17 items were recorded in the diet, whereas in the dry season only 7 items were present. Relative Importance Index showed high presence of the Teleostei fish (69.93%) on diet of E. saurus during the rainy season, whereas during the dry period the insects of the families Corixidae (43.25%) and Dysticidae (39.16%). Conclusions With the study it was possible to identify that juvenile are piscivorous in the rainy season when there is a higher availability of prey in the environment and insectivores in the dry season when it reduces the supply of food, indicating feeding flexibility to environmental alterations.
An Attentional Recurrent Neural Network for Personalized Next Location Recommendation
Authors: Guo Qing , Sun Zhu , Zhang Jie , Theng Yin-Leng
Published: June 2020

Most existing studies on next location recommendation propose to model the sequential regularity of check-in sequences, but suffer from the severe data sparsity issue where most locations have fewer than five following locations. To this end, we propose an Attentional Recurrent Neural Network (ARNN) to jointly model both the sequential regularity and transition regularities of similar locations (neighbors). In particular, we first design a meta-path based random walk over a novel knowledge graph to discover location neighbors based on heterogeneous factors. A recurrent neural network is then adopted to model the sequential regularity by capturing various contexts that govern user mobility. Meanwhile, the transition regularities of the discovered neighbors are integrated via the attention mechanism, which seamlessly cooperates with the sequential regularity as a unified recurrent framework. Experimental results on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate that ARNN outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
The influence of crack on the fracture parameters of concrete based on digital image correlation technology
Authors: Wang Siyao , Hu Shaowei , Yang Jinhui , Hu Yuquan
Published: June 2020

This paper studies the method of determining the fracture parameters of pre-notched concrete beams with horizontal pre-set cracks and the influence of fracture intersection on fracture characteristics of concrete based on the three-point bending test. Pre-notched concrete beams with horizontal pre-set cracks were designed as 13 groups according to the different positions, lengths and widths of horizontal pre-set cracks. The fracture toughness was calculated on the basis of the cohesive force model of concrete, and the crack opening displacement obtained by using the digital image correlation technique. The study's results indicate that the distance between the pre-set crack and the notch tip as well as the pre-set crack length and width have various influences on the fracture propagation of edge mode I crack, the bearing capacity and unstable fracture toughness of concrete beams owing to varying degrees of loss of cohesion in the fracture process zone (FPZ). The study also finds that a large lack of cohesion in the FPZ indicates a high possibility of a reduction in the bearing capacity and unstable fracture toughness of concrete beams.

Metagenomic analyses were carried out on municipal solid waste, with samples collected at two different depths (2 and 4 m) and distances (2 and 20 m) from a biogas extraction well. Tests were performed to investigate the hypothesis of oxygen entry in the waste mass through the cover layer. The results indicated the predominance of anaerobic microorganisms (37–51%), whereas the aerobic or aerobic and anaerobic facultative microorganisms presented values of 3–8%. Nevertheless, two-way Permanova analysis highlighted differences between samples with different distances and depths. The distance from the well was the most important variable influencing the community structures, and the most abundant genera were all anaerobic and included Methanobacterium, Methanosarcina, Methanofollis, Desulfosporosinus, Anaerolinea and Clostridium. The results strengthen the hypothesis of oxygen entry in the waste mass through the cover layer affecting the nature of the decomposition process, primarily for shallower depths.

Objective: In this study, we searcheddemographic analysis of complications of patients who took warfarin treatment andadmitted to our hospital with high INR levels and factors affecting mortality.
Material and Method: All patients who were admitted to our hospital for any reason, who had at least 4 INR and received warfarin treatment were included in the study. The studies were analyzed retrospectively. The hospitalization epicrisis of 187 patients was evaluated. Questions were asked about duration of warfarin use, follow-up frequency, primary health care status, changes in the floor made by the clinic, and the use of warfarin data.
Results: The study population consisted of 87 women and 100 men. The mean age of the patients was 64.1 ± 17.6 years. The most common hospitalization complaints in the whole population were bleeding (22.4%), dyspnea (18.2%), confusion (17.1%) and nausea / vomiting (9.6%). INR level was above 10 in 34.2% of the patients. The highest indication of warfarin use was AF. Hypertension was the highest comorbidity. The predictors of mortality were chest pain (HR = 3.808; p = 0.012) and hemathesis (HR = 3.688; p = 0.033), respectively. The number of patients admitted to primary care for warfarin was 23 (12.3%). Patients were followed up in cardiology, home health care, cardiovascular surgery and neurology (16%, 6.4%, 5.9%, 4.3%, respectively). The rate of people who received warfarin training was 36.8%.
Conclusion: Although warfarin is a drug that should be monitored frequently, the follow-up frequency of patients is very low.

Yoğunluk analizi boyutunda ise ÖDK bildiri kümesinin, AOM bildiri kümesinden daha güçlü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmış ve son olarak ağ haritalarında ise yine benzerlikler göze çarpmıştır.
THE LIMITS OF ECONOMIC INTERDEPENDENCE: THE CASE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND CHINA
Authors: KEYVAN Özlem Zerrin
Published: June 2020

China's rapid economic growth and integration into the global economies have largely significant economic impacts and political implications for the EU. Since China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the flows of trade have expanded substantially. Building on long-existing relations, the EU has established links with China since the 1970s. Over the past decades, the relationship between China and the EU has thus evolved into comprehensive strategic partnership. Both parties have employed several strategies such as summit diplomacy, bilateral approaches, multilateral cooperation, policy papers to improve ties and overcome growing concerns. Economic interests have remained primary. After an overview of the historical evolution of political relations, this paper considers the three main motives which may drive China to provide economic relations with the EU, such as granting the market economy status, the needs of the foreign direct investments (FDI), growth in the volume of trade. The last part of the paper examines the interests and dilemmas of the China- EU economic relationship using the neoliberal theory of international politics as a framework for analysis. With this last point in mind, this paper attempts to analyse the relationship between interdependence and conflict with case studies.
II. ABDULHAMİT DÖNEMİ BASININDA HİMAYE POLİTİKALARI VE SANAYİLEŞME TARTIŞMALARI
Authors: DEMİR Kenan
Published: June 2020

Liberal iktisat düşüncesine dair ilk eleştiriler 1870 senesinde dönemin gazetelerinde görülmüş ve ülkenin sanayileşmesi gerektiği belirtilmiştir. 1880’lerde ise ülkenin sanayileşmesi ve sanayisini koruması için gümrük oranlarını artırılması güçlü bir şekilde dönemin basınında dillendirilmiştir. Ülkede himaye düşüncesinin ilk defa sistemli olarak dillendiren Ahmet Mithat Efendi’dir. Ahmet Mithat ülkenin sanayileşmesinin liberal iktisat düşüncesinin uygulanmasıyla gerçekleşmeyeceğini ve bu düşüncenin ancak belli bir oranda sanayisi gelişmiş ülkeler arasında uygulanacağını belirtmiştir. Bu nedenle Osmanlı’nın sanayisini himaye etmesi gerektiğini savunmuştur. 1880 senesinde Ahmet Mithat’ın Tercüman-ı Hakikat’ta başlattığı himaye düşüncesi ve sanayileşme politikalarını dönemin süreli yayınları da destek çıkmıştır. Bu gazeteler ülkenin iktisadi kalkınması için sanayileşmenin önemli olduğunu vurgulamış ve sanayinin gelişmesi için de devletin koruyucu tedbirler uygulamasını istemiştir.
Latour, Foucault, and Post-Truth: The Role and Function of Critique in the Era of the Truth Crisis
Authors: Flatscher Matthias , Seitz Sergej
Published: June 2020

This paper, first published in German in Le foucaldien 4, no. 1 (2018), explores Bruno Latour's critique of contemporary critical theory. According to Latour, poststructuralist conceptions of critical inquiry are becoming increasingly outdated. In our "post-factual" era, attempting to expose facts as results of power-laden processes of social construction plays into the hands of anti-scientific obscurantists. This is not to say, however, that one ought to opt for some reductionist notion of objectivity. Instead, Latour proposes a new form of critical realism. While we agree with Latour about the necessity of widening our epistemological paradigm, we deem his critique of poststructuralism unfair and exaggerated. Moreover, we argue that he fails to account for the relationship between epistemology, power, and subjectivity. Since Foucault, on the other hand, succeeds where Latour falls short and probes into this very relationship, his is a form of critique that remains crucial to tackling the current crisis of truth.
High quality DNA extraction from very small individual insects v1

Genomic studies of natural populations frequently benefit by having data from single individuals. This approach has a number of advantages: it avoids the risk of accidently pooling together individuals of closely related species, and it enables better resolution of haplotypes by separating non-identical individuals. However, especially in the case of very small invertebrates, recovering sufficient nucleic acid from individual samples can be challenging. Here we present a method suitable for extraction of DNA from single individual aphids (weighing approximately 0.5mg). We are able to recover 100’s of ng of high-quality DNA suitable for whole-genome sequencing using short-read technologies. DNA extraction using Cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) is a tried and tested method, and the protocol presented here is adapted from that of Marzachì et al. (1998). We present some modifications to optimize this popular method to maximize yield and quality from small single insect samples. We have used this method across a range of aphid species, and also other sap-sucking hemipteran insects. It has enabled sequencing and de-novo assembly of a range of species from single individuals collected from the field, and also resequencing of individuals of the model aphid Myzus persicae. This is compatible with the method of ambient storage of dehydrated filed collected samples we describe in Wouters et al. (2020). Marzachì, C, Veratti, F, & Bosco, D (1998).

YIELD PERFORMANCES OF WINTER WHEAT (T. aestivum) GENOTYPES IMPROVED FOR DRY ENVIRONMENTAL REGION OF TURKEY
Authors: AYRANCI Ramazan
Published: June 2020

This research, to determine the genetic progress in the winter bread wheat cultivars developed with breeding studies in the last 45 years for Turkey's arid environment, in Kirsehir ecological conditions, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 growing periods were carried out for two years in randomized block design with four replications. In this research, yield and yield components of 24 winter bread wheat cultivars selected according to registration years were examined and genetic progress was evaluated for these properties by regression analysis method. As a result of two years of research, it has been determined that cultivars have a grain yield between 249 kg da-1 (Gun 91) - 362 kg da-1 (Karahan 99) and fertile spikes number per square meter 377 - 552, grain number per spike 28.81 – 41.83, grain weight per spike 1.07 – 1.52 g, harvest index 26.17% - 37.07%. The annual yield increase of the cultivars with genetic progress was found to be 1,029 kg da-1. While it was determined genetic progress in 6 of total 11 traits, was observed negative genetic change in the other traits. Specifically, it was determined that the genetic improvement seen in the grain number per spikelet, grain number per spike, grain weight per spike, biomass yield and harvest index characteristics were found to contribute to the increase in grain yield. Characteristics seen genetic progress, have come to the forefront as selection parameters that wheat breeders working on rainfed conditions should emphasize. In addition, Karahan 99, Nacibey, Bayraktar 2000, Izgi 2001 and Bagci 2002 cultivars were determined as cultivars that could be recommended to be grown in Kirsehir ecological conditions.
RELIGION IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION PROCESSES
Authors: Kudin Oleksandr
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to one of the most urgent problems of modern religious studies – the problem of mutual influence of religion and globalization processes. It is noted that the term "globalization" itself is not completely open in terms of methodology. The article substantiates the position on the interrelation of religious and globalization processes with their main aspects – axiological and ethical. We can talk about the distribution of non-traditional religions on global and local. Local are those whose impacts are spread in one or two regions, do not go beyond the country. As to the effects of globalization on such religious entities, they are minimal. In addition, such educations are, to a greater degree, totalitarian entities that are subject to a charismatic leader, they are isolated from society and, thus, from globalization. Unlike local, global non-traditional religions are a "product" of globalization processes. But, if in the economic, socio-cultural spheres globalization is unification, it is the destruction of borders and divisions, and then religious globalization includes a diversity of religious nature. Undeniably non-traditional religions, both local and global, are serious rivals for traditional religions and cause a negative reaction from the latter. The influence of economic, cultural, informational and religious globalization on a person is analyzed; special attention is paid to the emergence and spread of non-traditional religious movements and currents that may lead to the emergence of a "one-dimensional person". There is also a link between globalization with religious fundamentalism and its extreme manifestations – terrorism.

Profil Protein Daging Ikan Kurisi Merah (Pagrus major) yang Diberi Pakan dengan Tambahan Tepung Daun Zaitun (Olea europaea L.)
Authors: Arsyad Muh Ali , Rusli Arham
Published: June 2020

Pemberian pakan dengan tambahan antioksidan dari bahan alam terbukti mampu meningkatkan kualitas daging yang dihasilkan. Aktivitas antioksidan dari bahan alam ditentukan oleh kandungan polifenol. Daun zaitun mengandung 6-9% polifeneol. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pengaruh penambahan tepung daun zaitun pada pakan terhadap profil protein daging ikan yang dikultur selama 25 hari pada akuarium dengan kondisi yang terkontrol. Komposisi protein daging dianalisis dengan SDS-PAGE dan kandungan protein sarkoplasma, miofibril dan kolagen dianalisa dengan metode biuret. Kandungan protein sarkoplasma dan miofibril tidak berbeda pada kedua kelompok ikan, tetapi kandungan kolagen daging ikan yang diberi pakan dengan tepung daun zaitun 1,63 kali lebih tinggi dibanding ikan dengan pakan kontrol. Mikrostruktur daging ikan dengan pakan tepung daun zaitun lebih kompak dibanding ikan dengan pakan kontrol, hal tersebut disebabkan kandungan kolagen yang lebih tinggi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penambahan tepung daun zaitun pada pakan mampu meningkatkan tekstur pada daging melalui peningkatan kuantitas dan kualitas serat kolagen pada endomisium.

Fukoidan merupakan polisakarida tersulfat dalam rumput laut cokelat yang memiliki aktivitas biologis, di antaranya sebagai antidiabetes. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kemampuan fukoidan dari rumput laut cokelat (Sargassum polycystum dan Turbinaria conoides) sebagai antidiabetes, yaitu dalam menghambat aktivitas α-amilase dan α-glukosidase secara in vitro. Kemampuan penghambatan enzim dievaluasi dari ekstrak kasar fukoidan, hasil fraksinasi dengan membran ultrafiltrasi (10 dan 30 kDa), dan kromatografi filtrasi gel. Ekstrak kasar fukoidan (1 mg/mL) dari S. polycystum hasil ekstraksi asam, dan dari T. conoides hasil ekstraksi air menunjukkan aktivitas penghambatan terhadap α-amilase dan α-glukosidase yang tertinggi. Fraksi dengan berat molekul >30 kDa hasil ultrafiltrasi ekstrak fukoidan dari S. polycystum dan T. conoides (pada konsentrasi 50 mg ekstrak/3,0 mL akuabides) menunjukkan aktivitas penghambatan yang rendah terhadap α-amilase (16,88% dan 9,67%), tetapi tinggi terhadap α-glukosidase (99,06% dan 65,97%). Fraksinasi dengan kromatografi filtrasi gel menunjukkan adanya senyawa aktif dalam fraksi fukoidan yang memiliki aktivitas penghambatan yang tinggi terhadap α-glukosidase, yaitu fraksi dengan berat molekul 30-70 kDa untuk S. polycystum dan >70 kDa untuk T. conoides. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa fraksi fukoidan dari S. polycystum dan T. conoides memiliki kemampuan penghambatan terutama terhadap α-amilase dan α-glukosidase, dan berpotensi sebagai antidiabetes.

Authors: Leal M , Paciência I , Farraia M , Cavaleiro Rufo J , Castro Mendes F , Delgado L , Viegas C , Moreira A
Published: June 2020

Background: Exposure to airborne allergens of biological origin is associated with the development and exacerbation of allergic asthma and rhinitis. Assessment of allergen exposure in health care facilities may improve monitoring of hygiene and surveillance of specific allergens that can cause symptoms in sensitized persons. Objective: To assess concentrations of airborne food and aeroallergens in various health care settings in Portugal. Methods: Dust was vacuumed from primary health care centers in Lisbon and from the emergency department, day hospital, internal medicine ward, operating room, and outpatient clinic of a university central hospital in Porto. Samples were sieved, weighed, and extracted, and concentrations of Nbos d 5, Cor a 9, Gal d 2, Ara h 3, Ara h 6, Der p 1, Fel d 1, Can f 1, Bla g 2, Alt a 1, and Phl p 5 were determined using a multiplex array for allergens (MARIA). Results: All airborne food and aeroallergens were found in at least 1 sampled area, except for Alt a 1. Levels of Der p 1 and Fel d 1 ranged from 13.0 μg/g to 971.0 μg/g and from 7.0 μg/g to 4618.8 μg/g, respectively. Higher levels of food allergens were found in the emergency department (Nbos d 5, 16 034.0 μg/g; and Cor a 9, 10 649.5 μg/g). Conclusions: Except for the operating room, exposure levels for dust mite and cat and dog dander in health care facilities were above the values associated with sensitization and allergic asthma or rhinitis symptoms in sensitized persons.

Authors: Solka Anna Caroline , De Antoni Clarissa
Published: June 2020

A saúde é um direito que deve ser assegurado e promovido pelo Estado. É preciso pensá-la de forma ampliada, principalmente quando se pensa em populações específicas. Esse é o caso dos homens trans, que são pessoas que se percebem e se constroem diferente do sexo assignado ao nascimento. Este estudo, qualitativo/exploratório, teve como objetivo conhecer as principais necessidades em saúde dos homens trans, o acesso e as suas percepções sobre o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e assim, como essa vivencia influencia no seu bem-estar. Participaram de entrevistas individuais oito homens entre 20 e 50 anos que se identificaram enquanto trans. Utilizou-a a Análise Temática para compreensão dos dados e os principais temas emergentes foram: o desrespeito e/ou o não uso do nome social, a falta de qualificação e o preconceito dos/as profissionais da rede de atenção em saúde e, por fim, a dificuldade de acesso aos serviços e procedimentos específicos em hormonoterapia e cirurgias. Mesmo que respaldados por marcos/documentos regulatórios, algumas práticas fogem à promoção dos direitos em saúde para essas pessoas.
