ABSTRACT The inactivated whole soy (IWS) was studied in pigs to determine the energy value through a metabolism trial and evaluate the effect of IWS and protease on performance, carcass traits, and economic viability. Metabolism with pigs (53.80±4.15kg) to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), and crude protein (CP), digestible energy (DE), apparent metabolizable energy (AME), and nitrogen-corrected AME (AMEn). For the performance trial, 60 immunocastrated male pigs and 60 female pigs (30.09±1.46kg) were used in a 2 (gender) x 2 (with and without IWS) x 2 (protease) factorial arrangement. The DM, OM, and CP metabolizability coefficients of IWS were 83.77, 84.43, and 89.18%, respectively. The DE, AME, and AMEn values were 4904±117, 4805±273, and 4656±255kcal/kg, respectively. In growth phase I, enzyme provided an increase in average daily feed intake. In the economic viability, diet with IWS and without the enzyme had the lowest cost per kilogram of weight gained and provided the highest economic efficiency index and net revenue. The IWS has a high energy value and when used in diets for growing and finishing pigs provides satisfactory performance and better economic efficiency.

ABSTRACT Eimeria is the parasite that is responsible for eimeriosis in the gut of numerous domestic mammals. While treating eimeriosis, the use of medication and some effects of synthetic anticoccidials has led to the development of resistant parasites, necessitating the search for alternative treatments. The treatment of a wide variety of parasite diseases can be done with natural products that don't harm the environment. The goal of the current investigation was to determine how Artemisia judaica leaf extract (AJLE) affected the oocyst sporulation of Eimeria papillate strain. Also, reaching the ideal concentration will affect the parasite and limit infection. In vitro: Artemisia judaica leaf extract was applied at four different concentrations (50, 100, 200, and 300mg/mL), while 2.5% potassium dichromate solution served as the control. The sporulation of oocysts was significantly decreased by AJLE, reaching 12.6% at 300mg/mL, and the effect of inhibition on the oocyst sporulation percentages of E. papillata was observed in a dosage-dependent manner in comparison to the control group. Our results revealed that A. judaica has cytotoxic activity against breast and lung cancer cell line with a promising IC50 of 480.3 and 359.2µg/mL, respectively compared to doxorubicin as a standard.

ABSTRACT The aim was to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of Tribulus terrestris (TT) in diets of sheep in confinement on rumen parameters and blood metabolites. The experiment was conducted in two stages, in vitro, with inclusions ranging from 0 to 15.0 g/kg of TT in dry matter of the diet and the in vitro digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, pH, measurement of ammoniacal nitrogen and greenhouse gases were determined. And in situ, with inclusions of 0 to 5.0g/kg, in which five cannulated sheep were distributed in a 5 × 5 Latin square design to evaluate fermentation parameters, protozoan populations and blood metabolic profile. The inclusion of TT, regardless of dosage, resulted in decrease on in vitro digestibility, with quadratic effect on dry matter and nutrients, and reduction in ammoniacal nitrogen and methane. In terms of fermentation parameters, the safest dosages in vitro were 1.25 and 2.5g/kg. Inclusion of up to 5.0g/kg did not affect fermentation parameters in situ, did not harm the blood metabolic profile and reduced the population of small protozoa. Studies with inclusions greater than 5.0g/kg should be carried out to confirm the effect on protozoa, with subsequent analysis of production performance.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT The combination of xylazine and ketamine has been used for decades to anesthetize dogs and cats undergoing surgical procedures. Three dogs died two to four days after being anesthetized with this combination without any know complications during the anesthetic procedure. White multifocal areas were present in the hearts of the three dogs, which histologically corresponded to marked necrosis of cardiomyocytes. Epidemiological and anatomopathological findings suggest that the dogs died because of cardiac impairment caused by the anesthetic combination.
Agronomic performance of ‘BRS Cora’ grapevines grown under different training systems, rootstocks and growing seasons in a semi-arid region
Authors: Leão Patrícia Coelho de Souza , Oliveira Carlos Roberto Silva de
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Producing grapes for juice has been gaining prominence in the Northeast region of Brazil with diversification of grape cultivars for juice production over the past decade. The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of different vine training systems and rootstocks on the vigor, yield, and morpho-agronomic traits of ‘BRS Cora’ grapes over six production cycles. The experiment was conducted in Petrolina, PE, Brazil, from 2017 to 2020. A randomized block experimental design was used with four replications in split-split plots in time, with evaluation of the espalier, pergola, and lyre training systems combined with the rootstocks IAC 572 and IAC 766. The variables studied were the following: bud fertility index; yield per plant; number of clusters per plant; weight, width and length of cluster and berry; soluble solids (SS); titratable acidity (TA); and ratio SS/TA. The response of the ‘BRS Cora’ vines were different depending on the training system, rootstock, production cycle, or interaction among them. The bud fertility index varied only as a result of the production cycle. The pergola training system increased yield in relation to espalier and lyre systems, also favoring a larger number and size of clusters. The IAC 766 rootstock increased berry size and TA, whereas IAC 572 favored higher sugar/SS content and SS/TA ratio. The fourth production cycle (harvest on 9 May 2019) led to the best agronomic performance of ‘BRS Cora’ grapevines under the conditions of the Submédio do Vale do São Francisco region.

Resumo Em que medida a circulação contemporânea de teorias que questionam ontologias coloniais e reivindicam renovação crítica para o pensamento latino-americano influenciou o desenvolvimento de novas agendas de pesquisa no Brasil? Este artigo dirige-se aos circuitos hegemônicos da produção do conhecimento acadêmico brasileiro para compreender o impacto das perspectivas decoloniais durante a primeira década de recepção e apropriação dessa teoria pela produção intelectual do país. Por meio de um mapeamento de 246 artigos que abordaram os termos “decolonial” ou “decoloniais” publicados até 2018, procuramos analisar diferentes usos que a categoria adquiriu em pesquisas brasileiras. O objetivo foi descrever a configuração de redes de estudos decoloniaisj com base na revisão bibliométrica dessa literatura, com a intenção de apresentar um quadro histórico parcial dos principais temas, autores, autoras e bibliografias que foram mobilizados em periódicos registrados nas bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science entre 2009 e 2018. Os resultados desta investigação sugerem que estudos identificados com perspectivas decoloniais apresentaram-se como investigações simultaneamente analíticas e políticas, que se organizavam em torno do campo disciplinar das ciências sociais, mas com impacto visível em outras áreas do conhecimento.
Reaprendendo a decolonizar (cada vez) mais e recolonizar (cada vez) menos dentro e fora da academia e da organização

Resumo Compartilho com você, leitor, uma pesquisa-ação sobre um projeto de aprendizagem-ação construído em uma organização governamental sediada no Brasil, em cooperação com uma escola de administração, na qual tentamos desfazer dinâmicas da gerencialização recolonizante do campo da administração de desenvolvimento (AD) pelo campo da gestão governado pelo projeto de neoliberalismo como a única opção de desenvolvimento global. A gerencialização de desenvolvimentos sulistas escuros administrados que ressurgem nos anos 2000 com mais importância do que nas décadas 1950-1960 de descolonizações no Sul e no Norte reafirma binarismos civilizacionais da matriz colonial/racial do poder que diferenciam humanos e sub-humanos para combater a patologia do desenvolvimento reverso supostamente internalizada por corpos escuros sulistas como o meu. Por meio de um diálogo entre epistemes sulistas submersas que desafiam binarismos desumanizantes com epistemologias-ação nortistas, abraço a pespectiva de crescente população de condenados da terra e mulheres de cor para reaprendemos AD e epistemologias-ação como corpos escuros parcialmente controlados pela universidade neoliberal creolizante. Com a práxis de decolonizar mais e recolonizar menos, reaprendemos e compartilhamos o agir-refletir-agir do desfazimento da expansão gerencialista do capital colonial/racial e de cumplicidades correspondentes dentro e em torno de nossos corpos sulistas.
Relearning how to decolonize more and recolonize less inside and outside the academy and the organization
Authors: FARIA ALEXANDRE
Published: January 2025

Abstract This article presents action research about an action learning project developed in a government organization based in Brazil in cooperation with a business school. The project sought to undo the dynamics of the recolonizing managerialization of the field of development administration (DA) by the field of management ruled by the US-led project of neoliberalism as the only option for global development. The managerialization of southern dark administered developments that resurfaced in the 2000s with more importance than in the decolonizing and liberating 1950s-1960s reaffirms civilizational binarisms of racial/colonial capital, which differentiate humans and subhumans to combat the pathology of reverse development supposedly internalized by dark southern bodies. Through a dialogue between submerged Southern epistemes that challenge dehumanizing binaries with Northern action-epistemologies, this study embraces the perspective of a growing population of the wretched of the earth and women of color so that we relearn AD and action-epistemologies as dark bodies partially controlled by the neoliberal creolizing university. With the praxis of decolonizing more and recolonizing less, we learn and share the acting-reflecting-acting of undoing the managerialist expansion of colonial/racial capital and corresponding complicities within and around our dark/light bodies.
Poder de Escolha: a decolonial praxis for the resignification of the university space
Authors: Maragni Felipe Teixeira Genta , Costa Ana Carolina Oliveira Rodrigues , Campos Natássia de Menezes , Nova Silvia Pereira de Castro Casa
Published: January 2025

Abstract Poder de Escolha (PdE) is a university project created and managed by GENERAS Research Group at the School of Economics, Business, Accounting, and Actuarial Science (FEAUSP) of the University of São Paulo (USP). Based on the dialogical pedagogies of Paulo Freire and bell hooks, it seeks to promote the creation of a decolonial praxis exercised by students, professors, and female entrepreneurs from the periphery of São Paulo on the theme of peripheral female entrepreneurship. Our proposal in this article is to articulate the escrevivências of those who co-construct the PdE to understand how a decolonial project leads to tensions and re-significations of their conceptions of themselves, the university, the school, the access of those considered “outsiders” to these spaces, and of the roles usually attributed to educators and students. Interviews were conducted with five people involved in two editions of the project, allowing for a self-reflective process and, consequently, for escrevivência. The analysis shows that the project provided new meanings about belonging to the university, recognition as an entrepreneur, what is expected and possible from female entrepreneurs on the peripheries of the city, and collective power in the teaching-learning process. This experience also opens up possibilities for discussion and reconstruction of academic praxis and its relationship with society. Our contribution lies in the articulation of knowledge from academia and the community to build a shared identity based on reflection on decolonial praxis and theory, in which these female entrepreneurs are the protagonists. 1The name of the project translates in English as Power of Choice, and it contraposes the idea of entrepreneurship out of necessity which seems imposed to non-hegemonic groups.

Published: January 2025

Resumo Perspectivas decoloniais e pluriversais têm aparecido com cada vez mais frequência nos estudos organizacionais, desafiando paradigmas de conhecimento ocidentais e eurocêntricos predominantes no campo da gestão. Os artigos desta edição especial oferecem uma crítica e também alternativas às perspectivas hegemônicas, colocando em primeiro plano novas possibilidades que consideram as múltiplas formas de se conhecer e organizar, particularmente aquelas originadas em comunidades menos visíveis, marginalizadas, indígenas ou minoritárias. Os estudos apresentados aqui questionam normas eurocêntricas arraigadas na teoria da gestão, privilegiando novas perspectivas que abrangem três conceitos centrais e comuns entrelaçados na questão: hibridismo, alteridade e afirmatividade. Esses temas são bastante abrangentes e refletem um compromisso em reconhecer e integrar diversas tradições epistêmicas, seguindo a noção de pluriversalidade de forma a resistir a interpretações simplistas ou monolíticas de práticas de organização humana. Tal compromisso requer a defesa de práticas editoriais mais inclusivas além das normas tradicionais para reconhecer as barreiras impostas por veículos e padrões de publicação de domínio inglês. O conjunto de artigos publicados nesta edição faz uma exploração interdisciplinar da prática e da teoria decoloniais ao mesmo tempo que demonstra um impulso específico para diversificar e pluralizar o campo dos estudos organizacionais. O envolvimento de vozes globalmente marginalizadas em todos os contextos e formas organizacionais contribui na promoção de meios reflexivos e inclusivos de desafiar práticas hegemônicas dentro da própria academia e, finalmente, encorajar acadêmicos organizacionais a adotar estruturas decoloniais capazes de criticar e renovar práticas de gestão em todo o mundo.
Decolonizing perspectives and decolonial pluriversality in management praxis & research: introduction to the special issue

Published: January 2025

Abstract Decolonial and pluriversal perspectives have recently proliferated in organizational studies, challenging predominant Western and Eurocentric knowledge paradigms in management. Offering both a critique of and alternatives to hegemonic perspectives, the articles in the current special issue place front-and-center new possibilities that recognize multiple ways of knowing and organizing, particularly those originating within less visible, marginalized, Indigenous, or minority communities. The studies in this special issue question entrenched Eurocentric norms in management theory by privileging new perspectives that encompass three central and common concepts interwoven across this issue: hybridity, alterity, and affirmativity. These overarching themes reflect a commitment to acknowledging and integrating diverse epistemic traditions following the notion of pluriversality to resist simplistic or monolithic interpretations of human organizing practices. This commitment requires us to advocate for more inclusive publication practices beyond traditional norms to acknowledge the barriers posed by English-dominant publication outlets and standards. The present collection of articles offers an interdisciplinary exploration of decolonial practice and theory alongside a specific drive to diversify and pluralize organizational scholarship. By engaging with marginalized voices globally across contexts and organizational forms, we promote a reflexive and inclusive means to challenge hegemonic practices within academia itself and ultimately encourage organizational scholars to adopt decolonial frameworks that critique and renew management practices worldwide.

Resumo Objetivos: analisar a dinâmica espaço-temporal da prevalência de anomalias congênitas em municípios de Mato Grosso (MT), Centro-Oeste brasileiro, no período de 2008 a 2019. Métodos: estudo ecológico de casos residentes em MT, no período de 2008 a 2019. Utilizou-se a Variação Percentual Anual (VPA) dos coeficientes na análise de tendência, por meio de regressão de Prais-Winsten e identificação de clusters de alto risco. Resultados: a taxa de malformação congênita no estado foi de 6,52 por 1.000 nascidos vivos, apresentando tendência estacionária (VPA= -1,02; IC95%= -2,93-0,93). A maioria das anomalias congênitas apresentou tendência estacionária, exceto do aparelho cardiovascular (VPA=13,58; IC95%= 3,60-24,52). Neonatos com ≤7 pontos do índice de Apgar no primeiro e no quinto minutos de vida, apresentaram tendência crescente (VPA=2,30; IC95%= 0,05-4,60 e VPA=4,15; IC95%= 1,52-6,65, respectivamente). A distribuição espacial teve caráter heterogêneo com as maiores taxas médias de casos entre as macrorregiões de saúde Oeste, Centro-Norte e Sul, e a varredura espaço-temporal identificou três clusters de alto risco entre 2015 e 2019, com RR de até cinco vezes maior para anomalias. Conclusão: as anomalias congênitas em MT apresentaram uma dinâmica heterogênea com áreas de alto risco específicas. A tendência crescente entre fatores maternos e neonatais destaca a necessidade de estratégias regionais de prevenção e controle.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of the prevalence of congenital anomalies in in cities of Mato Grosso (MT), in the Mid-West of Brazil, from 2008 to 2019. Methods: an ecological study of cases in MT during the period from 2008 to 2019. The Annual Percent Change (APC) of the coefficients was used in the tendency analysis, through Prais-Winsten regression and the identification of high risk clusters. Results: the congenital malformation rate in the State was 6.52 per 1,000 live births, demonstrating a stationary tendency (APC-1.02; 95%CI= -2.93-0.93). Most congenital anomalies showed a stationary tendency, except for those of the cardiovascular system (APC=13.58; 95%CI= 3.60-24.52). Newborns with an Apgar score of ≤ 7 at the first and fifth minutes of life showed an increased tendency (APC=2.30; 95%CI=0.05-4.60 and APC=4.15; 95%CI= 1.52-6.65, respectively). The spatial distribution was heterogeneous, with the highest average rates of cases in the West, Central North, and South health macro-regions. The spatiotemporal scan identified three high risk clusters between 2015 and 2019, with a relative risk (RR) up to five times higher for anomalies. Conclusion: congenital anomalies in MT exhibited a heterogeneous dynamic with specific high risk areas, and their increasing tendency among maternal and neonatal factors highlights the need for regional prevention and control strategies.
Digital transformation in servitization: analysis of technologies and dominant themes
Authors: Facco Giuliani , Cauchick Miguel Paulo Augusto , Sousa Zommer Thayla Tavares de
Published: January 2025

Abstract Digital servitization is a trend in which companies offer additional services to products. Digital technologies play a crucial role in this process, providing insights and improving the customer experience. In this context, this article seeks to analyze the literature on digital servitization, identifying the dominant themes and technologies used in this attempt. The work was conducted through a systematic literature review, which resulted in 130 articles analyzed, classified and coded, resulting in 9 main themes and 16 topics on digital technologies. Digital Technologies open up new perspectives and impose significant challenges on companies, compelling them to develop completely innovative business models, abandoning traditional product-centric approaches in favor of service-oriented strategies (based on digitalization). This article contributes to this line of research in different ways. First, it proposes a theoretical map, where the research field is segmented into three levels: domain, themes and topics, bringing digital servitization as a general plan, which helps in understanding company transitions caused by technologies, bringing theoretical and managerial contributions. Furthermore, the results describe a rapidly growing core of contributions that revolve around this research domain, where gaps were also identified, mainly regarding studies on digital servitization ecosystems and their interrelations with other relevant themes that are also part of of this transformation.
Psychosocial Interventions for Elderly People with Bipolar Disorder: Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis
Authors: Vieira Carolina Raquel Sales , Freitas Eduarda Rezende
Published: January 2025

Abstract: Bipolar Affective Disorder is a chronic mental disorder that can have profound consequences for elderly people. The objective of this study was to analyse the evidence of the effectiveness of psychosocial and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy-based interventions for bipolar disorder. To this end, a systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted based on randomized controlled trial, published between 2012 and 2022, that included elderly people in their samples. The search, carried out in the PubMed, SciELO, CENTRAL, and PePSIC databases, resulted in 1069 articles, 15 of which were included in this research. The recommendations of PRISMA and JBI were used. It was found that psychoeducation and, especially, interventions in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy can improve symptoms of this disorder. Through meta-analysis, an effect in favour of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy was observed for reducing mania, but not for depression. However, more studies are needed, as none conducted exclusively with elderly people were found.
Platelet mass index, systemic immune-inflammation index, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio as practical markers in childhood brucellosis

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: Brucellosis is a multisystem infectious disease and may cause an increase in acute phase reactants. This study aimed to examine the platelet mass index (PMI), the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in children with brucellosis and to determine their roles in focal involvement. Methods: This retrospective observational study included 69 patients with brucellosis and a control group of 69 healthy children. Inflammation markers, PMI, NLR, and SII were compared in brucellosis patients and the control group and in brucellosis patients with and without focal involvement. Results: Hemoglobin and platelet values were significantly lower in brucellosis cases compared to the control group (p<0.001), and C-reactive protein and ferritin were significantly higher (p<0.001). SII and PMI were significantly lower in the brucellosis patient group compared to the control group (p<0.001). In the comparing cases with and without focal involvement, no statistically significant difference was detected in hematological parameters and inflammation markers. Conclusions: This study showed that PMI, one of the new markers that can be calculated from complete blood count, may be useful in diagnosing childhood brucellosis. Similar results could not be reached for NLR and SII. New studies testing the diagnostic value of PMI, NLR, and SII in childhood brucellosis are needed.
O nojo pelo homem e o “humanismo” nietzschiano

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o pensamento de Nietzsche como “humanista”. Para tanto, estudamos o significado do termo “humanismo” para os comentadores de Nietzsche, para ele mesmo e para alguns dos autores que ele pôde ler. Mostraremos que o seu humanismo é isento de moralidade, mas isso é visto através do amor pelo homem expresso sobretudo em Also sprach Zarathustra. Consideraremos então a noção de super-homem e, mais ainda, como ela depende da repulsa por um tipo malogrado de homem.

Ministry of Health Ordinance No. 467, of March 2, 2020, provides, on an exceptional and temporary basis, for telemedicine actions, with the aim of regulating and operationalizing measures to deal with the public health emergency. Objective To find out how occupational therapists in Alagoas, Brazil, worked during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study carried out with occupational therapists from the state of Alagoas (Brazil) who carried out telecare and telemonitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample was based on convenience. Participants were invited to take part in this study through contact via messaging groups, emails and active search. Data collection took place through an online questionnaire that sought to understand the work process of occupational therapists. Results The study included 35 occupational therapists who carried out telecare/telemonitoring to the public of all ages, the consultations took place once a week, lasting between ten and thirty minutes and the maintenance of the bond, family engagement and closeness to the patient's context were positive points, while the difficulty was access to quality internet. Conclusion This type of care has been considered in the post-pandemic period, standing out as a complementary strategy to face-to-face follow-ups. Further studies on the subject and investigations with patients/users are needed to understand other questions that this research was unable to answer.

Published: January 2025

The constant population growth significantly impacts energy demand, particularly in industrial refrigeration applications. As Dong et al. (2021) note, population increases lead to urbanization, with more people living and working in densely populated urban areas. This raises the demand for air conditioning systems in homes, commercial buildings, and industrial settings, thus increasing the load on energy systems. Additionally, there is a higher demand for industrial products, as many industries require refrigeration processes to maintain the quality and integrity of their products, further boosting energy demand. This heightened demand for energy in various industrial refrigeration applications puts pressure on energy resources and underscores the need for energy-efficient and sustainable solutions (Touaibi and Koten, 2021).
Calculating the rotor parameters of a high-speed synchronous machine with permanent magnets

The article considers the peculiarities of rotor design and, in particular, bandage calculation at different rotor diameters of a high-speed synchronous EM with permanent magnets on the rotor for the power complex based on micro GTU. The calculation of the thickness of the bandage for fixing permanent magnets on the rotor is performed based on the conditions for ensuring a given tension with a known strength of the material, a given rotation frequency and height of the magnets. This takes into account the stresses from preload, thermal expansion of the PM and centrifugal forces. To correctly determine the thickness of the bandage, two conditions are taken into account simultaneously: in all modes, the pressure of the bandage on permanent magnets must be positive and the voltage in the bandage must not exceed the strength limit of the material. Electromagnetic calculation is performed taking into account a significant non-magnetic gap due to the presence of the bandage and an increased level of magnetic losses in the stator and rotor mag-netic core. Calculations have shown that, starting from a certain rotational speed, the increase in the height of perma-nent magnets does not significantly affect the induction in the air gap due to the increase in the thickness of the band-age. This entails an increase in the total non-magnetic air gap, compensating the effect of increasing the height of the magnets. As the speed increases, the bandage thickness increases, adding additional air gap, which reduces the induc-tion in the air gap of the electric machine, limiting its power.
A Study of L2 Learners’ Word Formation Processes through Naming Task: using Think-aloud Methods
Authors:   The Korean Society Of Bilingualism, Lin Jiafeng
Published: January 2025

This study aims to understand L2 learners' word formation processes by which they use existing words in their mental lexicon to produce new words. For this purpose, the learners were asked to perform a naming task and their word formation process was recorded using a think-aloud technique. The results of the study showed that learners' word formation process consists of two stages: meaning formation and form formation. The semantic structure formed by learners can be categorized into three categories: category-centered semantic structure, attribute-centered semantic structure, and association-based semantic structure. In the form-formation stage, learners utilized syntactic and lexical knowledge and various strategies to formalize meaning. They also used both their L1 and L2 systems throughout the word formation process, and the more proficient they became, the less they relied on their L1.

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of pesticides and mycotoxins in water (e. g., drinking, well, tap and river water) published in the literature from 2008 to 2023 and to estimate the risks of exposure for humans to these contaminants through water consumption. An occurrence survey showed that maximum concentrations of pesticides and mycotoxins were 88732 and 19500 ng/L, respectively, in water. Exposure risk assessment estimated by daily intake (DI) of pesticides and mycotoxins showed that children, young people and adults, in descending order, are affected. Therefore, the younger the age group, the greater the exposure risk to contaminants when ingestion of water containing maximum concentrations was analyzed by the occurrence survey.

Objetive. To understand the self-protection strategies developed by communities and organizations in the face of violations derived from construction and licensing projects for hydropower generation. Methodology. Qualitative study carried out in  hydro-social territories of the rivers La Paloma, Santo Domingo and Dormilón, municipalities of Argelia, San Francisco and San Luis, Eastern Antioquia, Colombia. The study included document review, territorial walks, semi-structured interviews and social mapping exercises over the course of one year from April 2022. Results. Self-protection strategies are mediated by affective-emotional links with the territory, whose transformations generate feelings related to the notion of solastalgia. Self-protection is a strategy to collectively sustain living spaces and workers around the river, with a view to future generations. Conclusion. Self-protection in these communities is updated and amplified to protect not only people’s physical integrity, but also and above all the integrity of the territory as a space of bonds, affections and emotions.

The aim of the article is to analyse the process of mobilization in defense of the last living river in Mexico City and its surrounding forests by neighbours in a marginal urban area. The research design is based on the cultural approach to protest and the analysis of the emotional dimension of the conflict. We used a qualitative methodological design for monitoring the conflict. The significance of the research findings lies in the fact that the conflict analysed rather than involving biospheric values is characterised by aspects that include the relationship between forest/river and collective identity, the historical grievances suffered by the community, and the relationship with institutions. This leads to the conflict being framed by the protagonists as a social injustice, where the defense of the river and forest is a moral obligation to protect their own identity and dignity.

Background. Assessment of short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) using paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and the threshold tracking technique is a promising approach to develop biomarkers of motor cortex damage in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Both high sensitivity and specificity of this approach were shown previously; however, almost all studies in this field were conducted by one group of authors.

Aim. The replication of data showing impairment of SICI assessed by threshold tracking technique in patients with ALS.

Materials and methods. 18 patients with ALS and 13 healthy volunteers were included into the study. Functional state of the patients was assessed as well as disease duration, form, stage and progression rate. Following values were determined in all participants using TMS: 1) resting motor threshold (MT); 2) mean motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude of 30 stimuli applied with an intensity of 120 % MT; 3) SICI assessed using an algorithm based on paralleled optimized threshold tracking with interstimulus interval (ISI) of 1.0 ms, 1.5 ms, 2.0 ms, 2.5 ms, 3.0 ms, 3.5 ms, 4.0 ms, 5.0 ms, 7.0 ms, as well as mean inhibition for values with ISI from 1.0 to 3.0 ms and from 1.0 to 7.0 ms.

Results. No significant differences between groups were observed for MT and MEP amplitude. Significant decrease of SICI with ISI 1.0 and 2.0 ms as well as mean SICI from 1.0 and 3.0 ms was observed in ALS. No significant correlations of MT, MEP amplitude or SICI with clinical values were found.

Conclusion. This replication study has shown the ability of paired-pulse TMS with threshold tracking technique to identify the impairment of intracortical inhibition in patients with ALS.

BACKGROUND: Arterial hypertension is often accompanied by stress, anxiety, and depression that worsen the quality of life and prognosis of the disease. Global data on high anxiety and depression highlight the need to assess them in people with hypertension. This study in the Ryazan region will reveal the social and economic impact on the mental health of hypertensive patients.
AIM: To assess the prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression among hypertensive patients in the Ryazan Region, as well as their relationship with social and economic factors.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective, observational study included 453 patients (284 women [62.7%] and 169 men [37.3%]) with confirmed arterial hypertension. Questionnaire survey included social and demographic characteristics and economic conditions. To measure stress effects, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) was used. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate anxiety and depression.
RESULTS: Levels of stress, anxiety, and depression are higher in women compared to men (15.5 (11–20), 6 (4–9), and 5 (3–8) vs. 13 (9–17), 4 (2–7), and 4 (2–7), respectively; р 0.001, р 0.001, and р=0.002). Lonely people have higher levels of stress 16 (12–20), anxiety 6 (4–9), and depression 6 (3–9) compared to those living with their families (р=0.004, р=0.026, and р 0.001, respectively). Levels of stress, anxiety, and depression are statistically higher in people without high school or higher education than in those with such education. Levels of stress did not depend on employment compared to anxiety (5 (3–8) in employed and 6 (4–9,75) in unemployed people; р 0.001) and depression (5 (2–7) and 6 (3–9) respectively; р=0.001), which were higher in unemployed people.
CONCLUSION: Female gender, marital status, and low education are the factors contributing to increased stress, anxiety, and depression in patients with hypertension in the Ryazan region.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: Many people worldwide use different tobacco products. Currently, most studies of smoking in various populations are focused on determining relationships, including the number of cigarettes smoked per day, pack/year and smoking indexes. Some studies evaluate important characteristics, such as the degree of nicotine dependence, type of smoking behavior, and level of motivation to quit smoking. This fact highlights this study relevance of a comprehensive assessment of smoking status.
AIM: To evaluate the prevalence of smoking types and analyze the features of clinical and medical history characteristics of smoking patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data of 381 patients with CAD hospitalized for routine myocardial revascularization were analyzed. Out of examined patients, 107 were considered active smokers. To determine the smoking status, the level of motivation to quit smoking, degree of nicotine dependence, and type of smoking behavior were evaluated using the K. Fagerstrom test, J. Prochaska questionnaire, and D. Horn questionnaire, respectively. Clinical and medical history characteristics were also analyzed.
RESULTS: More than half of patients with CAD had mild [34 (31.8%)] or moderate [33 (30.8%)] nicotine dependence, and a quarter of patients had high [25 (23.4%)] or very high [15 (14%)] dependence. Also, more than half of smoking patients [60 (56.1%)] were not motivated to quit smoking, 41 (38.3%) were poorly motivated, and only 6 (5.6%) were highly motivated. Among smoking patients with CAD, 32 (29.9%), 40 (37.4%), and 1/3 of patients [5 (32.7%)] had psychological (stimulation type), physical (thirst type), and support type of dependence, respectively. Based on clinical and medical history characteristics, more severe comorbidity was common in patients with high and very high nicotine dependence, high motivation to quit smoking, and thirst type of smoking behavior. Percutaneous coronary interventions, history of acute cardiovascular events, arterial hypertension, multifocal atherosclerosis, and multivessel disease as defined by SYNTAX were more common in this group of patients.
CONCLUSION: Smokers with CAD hospitalized for routine myocardial revascularization had mainly a mild or moderate degree of nicotine dependence, more than half of patients was not motivated to quit smoking and had thirst and support types of smoking behavior. The severe smoking cohort included patients with high and very high degree of nicotine dependence, high motivation to quit smoking, and thirst type of smoking behavior.
