Introduction. Spatial core structures of coatings are used for more efficient industrial production of building structures, which reduces the costs of their mass production, specialization of production and rationality of design solutions. When designing spatial coverings, unique designs of single execution are used, which help to solve grandiose architectural and functional tasks. But coatings that are based on standard elements that help to create various architectural forms are also in great demand. Materials and methods. The subject of the study is a spatial architectural and structural system that is capable of implementing various design tasks, being fast-built, lightweight and having unified elements that exclude assembly welding. Such arches will find wide application from sports to exhibition complexes, thanks to their quick installation. The arch can take the shape of a circle, an ellipse, a parabola or bending in two directions, the arch can take the form of an arbitrary curve with the conjugation of curves curved in different directions. Results. The spatial arch is assembled according to the principle of a crystallographic triangulation scheme, where the upper and lower belts, braces and rods can be distinguished. A new universal joint connecting element connecting from six to twelve standard rods is proposed, which allows achieving a minimum number of standard sizes and performing ground-based manual assembly of enlarged structural elements, the spatial rigidity of the system is ensured when they are articulated together. Conclusions. The results of the present study allow us to consider such a variant of the rod spatial arch as a promising solution, as a result of the theoretical study, it was found that the main direction of improvement of spatial rod structures is the development of new nodal connections.

Published: August 2023

Introduction. The stone-and-earth dam of the Yumaguzinskiy hydroelectric complex on the Belaya river is constructed in complicated geological conditions on heterogeneous foundation. The results of computational research of stress-strain state (SSS) of the dam, carried out for the variant of an earth dam with the central core are presented. When calculating the deflected mode of dams, the real structure of ground characterized by its relation of elastic and plastic bonds should be taken into account. The change of this structure takes place along with the change in stresses and is reflected in the values of coefficient of relative strength and coefficients of reliability. The values of the safety coefficients can be used to judge the strength state of the dam. Materials and methods. The stress-strain state of the dam was determined on the basis of the energy model of the developed by L.N. Rasskazov. The area of the selected fragment of the dam has been divided into single-type elements; a triangular grid of the finite element method has been adopted, by means of which the structure of the soil dam and the foundation have been described. Results. Numerical calculations have shown that when water level in the reservoir rises to the level of the forced retaining level the character of stress distribution σxx changes. At the base of uppermost buttress prism at the boundary with the core there appears an area with small positive values, the largest of which is obtained in the transition zone. The entire hydrostatic load is transferred to the pressure face of the core and, consequently, the entire work of external forces is transferred to the internal deformation energy of this element, causing a stress concentration in it. The transition zone material is forced to follow the deformations of the core, resulting in the development of tensile stresses in the core. Therefore, increasing the stiffness of the core results in less deformation of the core and correspondingly less tensile stress in the transition zone. The nature of stress distribution σyy is symmetrical. Conclusions. Increasing the rigidity of the core entails elimination of the arch effect, which is particularly noticeable at lower reservoir levels. For this reason the use of skeleton material in the core of the dam is desirable.

Introduction. Vietnam’s largest economic centre, Ho Chi Minh City, is facing riverbank erosion, one of the main causes of which is runoff. In this study, the flow velocity field of the Saigon River section is analyzed in different time periods. Materials and methods. Data on discharge, water level, river network topography and river channel were collected to set up simulation models in the programmes MIKE 11 and MIKE 21. These programmes are the main tools used in the study. Results. The current velocity in the middle of the river is 3–4 times higher than on the two banks. However, during the period between high and low tide, the current on both sides of the river has higher speed than the main stream, especially in the upper part of the winding banks, such as the part of the river from Ben Nghe sluice to Tan Thuan sluice and the section of the river from An Loi Dong police station to Thu Thiem 2 bridge. The velocity values in the studied river section in most cases exceed the allowable erosion-free velocity values of particles of channel material, river banks, and suspended sediment particles. The operation of the flood control sluices will slightly reduce the flow velocity values and also cause whirlpools in front of the sluices. Conclusions. The MIKE 11 and MIKE 21 software detailed the flow distribution of the Saigon River. The flow velocity on the Saigon River has a complex distribution and varies from period to period depending on the flood discharge from the Dau Tieng Reservoir and the tidal currents of the East Sea. The process of erosion on both sides of the river will occur regularly and continuously, so urgent measures are needed to protect the riverbank.

Introduction. When purifying natural objects from heavy metals a decisive role is played by sorption technologies, for the development of which new kinds of sorbents are required. The aim of the study is to evaluate the sorption capacity of granulated foam glass in the treatment of surface wastewater (SW) from urbanized areas from heavy metals (on the example of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn). Materials and methods. Granulated foam glass was used as a sorbent. The sorbate was urban surface wastewater from the city of Chelyabinsk. The interaction in the sorbent-sorbate system was studied in laboratory conditions by the limited volume method of static sorption when the pollutants were in the liquid phase and brought into contact with a stationary sorbent. The contact time of the sorbent with the sorbate was varied from 3 to 168 hours and the ambient temperature from 0 to 20 °C. The structure and surface composition of the sorbents were studied using a JEOL JSM-6460LV scanning electron microscope with an attachment for micro X-ray spectral analysis. Changes in the sorbate composition during interaction with the sorbents were determined by atomic emission spectrometry on an OPTIMA 2100 DV spectrometer (Perkin Elmer). Hydrogen index was determined on a pH-meter microprocessor рН-150МИ. Results. The structure and surface composition of granulated cellular glass has been studied. The efficiency of sorption of granulated foam glass of heavy metals from urban surface wastewater has been revealed. Conclusions. The results show that the investigated granulated foam glass is an effective sorption material and allows the extraction of heavy metals (cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, nickel, lead, zinc) from urban surface wastewater.

Published: August 2023

La instalación de tuberías subterráneas es una infraestructura necesaria para la conexión de la matriz energética en la mayoría de los países. Sin embargo, se desconoce en detalle cuáles son los cambios de la composición a largo plazo y la estructura temporal de la cubierta vegetal, así como los efectos sobre la biodiversidad en ecosistemas áridos en la estepa magallánica. Para mitigar esto, se propone evaluar la recuperación de la cubierta vegetal un pastizal nativo (coironal) que forma parte de estos ecosistemas. El objetivo del estudio es identificar los efectos producidos por la instalación de un ducto de hidrocarburos con el método de elevación doble y posterior de revegetación con siembra de una mezcla de semillas agronómicas, sobre la composición, estructura y diversidad en comparación con un pastizal no perturbado adyacente (sitios de referencia) durante un periodo de 7 años. Se estudió el área del Bloque Coirón, en las cumbres de San Gregorio, región de Magallanes, Chile. Se identificaron 28 taxones en el área modificada por el ducto y 39 en la vegetación de referencia. La biodiversidad fue mayor en la vegetación de referencia en comparación al ducto, donde se observó una disminución del número de especies y porcentaje de cobertura. El análisis de Componentes Principales (PCA) y el análisis SIMPER permitieron identificar cuales especies contribuyeron más significativamente a la similitud dentro de cada grupo. Los resultados mostraron que se necesitan al menos 7 años para recuperar las áreas intervenidas por la instalación de un ducto de hidrocarburos y que la presión del pastoreo y eventos climáticos como el déficit hídrico, pueden estar interfiriendo en la recuperación de la cubierta vegetal
Medical and surgical management of pneumothorax in diving and hyperbaric chambers

The presence of a pneumothorax within a pressurized chamber represents unique diagnostic and management challenges. This is particularly the case in the medical and geographic remoteness of many chamber locations. Upon commencing chamber decompression, unvented intrapleural air expands. If its initial volume and/or degree of chamber pressure reduction is significant enough, a tension pneumothorax will result. Numerous reports chronicle failure to diagnose and manage inchamber pneumothorax with resultant morbidity and one fatal outcome. Such cases have occurred in both medically remote and clinically based settings. This paper reviews pneumothorax and tension pneumothorax risk factors and clinical characteristics. It suggests primary medical management using the principle of oxygen-induced inherent unsaturation in concert with titrated chamber decompression designed to prevent intrapleural air expanding faster than it contracts. Should this conservative approach prove unsuccessful, and surgical venting becomes necessary or otherwise immediately indicated, interventional options are reviewed.
Pneumothorax during manned chamber operations: A summary of reported cases

In-chamber pneumothorax has complicated medically remote professional diving operations, submarine escape training, management of decompression illness, and hospital-based provision of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Attempts to avoid thoracotomy by combination of high oxygen partial pressure breathing (the concept of inherent unsaturation) and greatly slowed rates of chamber decompression proved successful on several occasions. When this delicate balance designed to prevent the intrapleural gas volume from expanding faster than it contracts proved futile, chest drains were inserted. The presence of pneumothorax was misdiagnosed or missed altogether with disturbing frequency, resulting in wide-ranging clinical consequences. One patient succumbed before the chamber had been fully decompressed. Another was able to ambulate unaided from the chamber before being diagnosed and managed conventionally. In between these two extremes, patients experienced varying degrees of clinical compromise, from respiratory distress to cardiopulmonary arrest, with successful resuscitation. Pneumothorax associated with manned chamber operations is commonly considered to develop while the patient is under pressure and manifests during ascent. However, published reports suggest that many were pre-existing prior to chamber entry. Risk factors included pulmonary barotrauma-induced cerebral arterial gas embolism, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and medical or surgical procedures usually involving the lung. This latter category is of heightened importance to hyperbaric operations as an iatrogenically induced pneumothorax may take as long as 24 hours to be detected, perhaps long after a patient has been cleared for chamber exposure.
Laplace Law Controls Pregnancy Intervals, Circadian Timers, and Mode of Delivery Through Exponential Uterine Wall Tension and Hormonal Milieu: A Hypothesis 3
Authors: Hegazy Ali
Published: August 2023

Background Our hypothesis suggests another view regarding the
following: Labor physiology. Labor progress. Labor dystocia.
Objective To support the hypothesis. Study Design This
study investigated the current evidence-based literature and research
that may support the hypothesis. Results Intrinsic myometrial
cell character ensures that parturition is an autonomic, intrinsic, and
interactive repetitive contraction and relaxation cycle, secondary to
myometrial tension changes that cause labor progression and protect the
foetus against hypoxia. The progress during the first stage of labor and
what is called cervical dilatation is the complete transformation of the
cervix into the LUS, which has a clinical and radiological presentation.
The clinical presentation is effacement, and dilatation. Radiologically,
the cervix transforms into the LUS through an inverted inside-out TYVU
and an inverted U pattern formation. In the second stage of labor, the
cervix has completely transformed into the LUS which is a wedge-shaped
birth canal that extends from the vaginal vault (cervicovaginal
junction) into the physiologic retraction ring. All these changes
reverse instantly after foetal delivery, and the cervix returns to its
anatomical site and regains its full anatomical shape. Concomitant
malfunctions of the inhibitory and stimulatory systems cause labor
dystocia. Conclusion Labor dystocia is the failure of the
complete transformation of the cervix into the lower uterine segment
secondary to combined inhibitory and stimulatory system malfunction.
Most of the cervical transformation into the LUS takes place during the
third trimester and is completed during the first stage of labor. So,
the treatment of labor dystocia should focus on the causes of the
stimulatory system’s malfunction before the onset of labor. There is
evidence to support the hypothesis, and it should be in the interest of
obstetricians, physiologists, midwives, neonatologists, and those with a
research interest in maternal and family welfare.
Modeling of partial reduction of hematite with carbon-monoxide in tunnel furnace

Published: August 2023

DRI production in tunnel furnaces sometimes encounters an incomplete degree of reduction. A model is required to tackle heterogeneous reaction rates, crucible heat transfer, and oxide morphology. Herein, a three-phase model is proposed based on the heat and mass conservation and reaction kinetics, to describe the reduction of hematite to magnetite in the crucibles. The model was implemented via a Fortran program using finite volume discretization, and the results were validated against available experimental data. The model moderated the uncertainties in the reaction rate with a reformulation considering the solid morphology. The results also revealed that the speed and diameter of the crucible have dominant effects on the overall progress of the reduction by changing the heat transfer rate within the crucible. In contrast, the crucible thickness has a minor effect on the reaction and could be regarded as an economical parameter.
GPR56 Promotes Diabetic Kidney Disease Through eNOS Regulation in Glomerular Endothelial Cells

Published: August 2023

Although glomerular endothelial dysfunction is well recognized as contributing to the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the molecular pathways contributing to DKD pathogenesis in glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) are only partially understood. To uncover pathways that are differentially regulated in early DKD that may contribute to disease pathogenesis, we recently conducted a transcriptomic analysis of isolated GECs from diabetic NOS3-null mice. The analysis identified several potential mediators of early DKD pathogenesis, one of which encoded an adhesion G protein–coupled receptor-56 (GPR56), also known as ADGRG1. Enhanced glomerular expression of GPR56 was observed in human diabetic kidneys, which was negatively associated with kidney function. Using cultured mouse GECs, we observed that GPR56 expression was induced with exposure to advanced glycation end products, as well as in high-glucose conditions, and its overexpression resulted in decreased phosphorylation and expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). This effect on eNOS by GPR56 was mediated by coupling of Gα12/13–RhoA pathway activation and Gαi-mediated cAMP/PKA pathway inhibition. The loss of GPR56 in mice led to a significant reduction in diabetes-induced albuminuria and glomerular injury, which was associated with reduced oxidative stress and restoration of eNOS expression in GECs. These findings suggest that GPR56 promotes DKD progression mediated, in part, through enhancing glomerular endothelial injury and dysfunction.

Published: August 2023

All the journeys and tours aimed at gaining knowledge about other peoples and lands seem to have achieved the set goals. Those who have tried to have a successful trip, have never ignored the upshot of their trip, but have benefited from the results and experiences and presented them to others in the form of a travelogue. One can argue that the product of the account of these travelogues seems to be most of the concepts related to unity and human relations and the necessity to understand other societies.This research aims to investigate one of the travelogues written in the Abbasid era (656-1258), in the 10th century, namely, Ibn Faḍlan’s travelogue, which is the product of a journey to the lands of the Persians, Turks, Saqaliba, and Khazars. To this end, in the first section, using the analytical method, the course of and reasons for his journey as well as its effects will be discussed. Then, based on the analytical and comparative method, the second section deals with the Saqaliba and their role in the region, as well as relevant texts focusing on the culture and tradition of the Saqaliba and their classification.According to the findings of this research, it was Ibn Faḍlan who for the first time, provided information about Saqaliba and their relations with Bulgaria and the Slavic race. More importantly, as a political envoy, apart from his special mission, which was to promote Islam and announce the Caliph's support for Saqaliba against the Khazars, he gives an account of the culture and customs in Europe and non-Muslim countries to the Muslims and the Caliph. This report is actually the first account of European non-Muslim customs given to the caliphate system.

Published: August 2023

Professional education courses such as microteaching are currently placing greater emphasis on reflective activities, particularly in the context of the new paradigm curriculum in Indonesia. The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of prospective teachers to reflect on their microteaching experiences, the common aspects discussed during reflection activities, and the peer feedback provided regarding lesson plan design and implementation within a microteaching setting. The study employs a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design and spans 13 weeks with 122 teacher candidates who participated in a flipped learning setting. Flipped learning was chosen as the instructional model to potentially enhance the level of collaboration in learning activities. Results revealed that flipped learning can indeed foster a collaborative environment among prospective teachers. Further, the most commonly identified aspect appearing in the reflections was the modeling of teaching techniques, outweighing other aspects such as classroom management, learning tools, lesson duration, pedagogical strategies, and student learning processes. These findings offer valuable insights for prospective teachers, particularly regarding feedback and reinforcement practices in microteaching. Moreover, this research suggests that flipped learning could be a promising approach to cultivating these practices. Future studies are recommended to further investigate the potential of different instructional models in enhancing reflection and collaboration among teacher candidates.

In order to determine the fungi causing kernel rot on chestnut, 150 chestnut kernels were collected from chestnut forests of Düzce province. Ninety-eight of the kernels showed necrosis at various sizes, while the rest of 52 were healthy in appearance. Twelve fungi were recovered from the necrotic kernels, while four from the healthy kernels. The most frequently isolated fungus from the necrotic kernels was Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi, obtained from 24 of the kernels. It was also isolated from 5 healthy kernels and produced necrosis when inoculated on the intact kernels. Besides G. smithogilvyi; 11 fungi; Diplodina castanea (1), Botrytis cinerea (6), Aureobasidium sp. (4), Alternaria alternata (2), Alternaria tenuissima (1), Penicillium spp. (19), Trichoderma sp. (12), Cladosporium sp. (2), Cylindrocarpon sp. (2), Mucor sp. (10), Rhizopus stolonifer (5) and bacterial growth were also recovered from necrotic kernels. On the other hand, G. smithogilvyi (5), Penicillium sp. (9), Trichoderma sp. (6), Mucor sp. (3) and bacterial growth were also found out from the symptomless kernels. G. smithogilvyi, D. castanea, B. cinerea, Cladosporium sp. and Penicillium sp. produced necrosis at varying rates when inoculated on to intact kernels. Compared to other species, Penicillium sp. showed the lowest rate of pathogenicity, which was the dominant fungus on the healthy fruits and recovered from 9 of them.

The most critical threat that global warming poses is undoubtedly water scarcity. Especially in the agricultural sector, water is an indispensable component. Therefore, it is essential to develop alternative water resources and methods against water scarcity that threatens our future. In this study, rainwater harvesting potentials on the roofs of livestock barns were determined, and system designs were made. The study was carried out at Bursa Uludag University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Animal Health and Animal Production, Research and Application Center. According to the study results, the most rainwater was harvested in December, and the least was harvested in August. While the required water requirement in the examined poultry farms can be supplied at 71.5% in December, 13.3% can be completed in August. In the sheep farms, 90.4% of the need can be supplied with 216.9 m3 of water collected in December, while water can be transferred to other months. While it is possible to supply 57.4% of the cattle in the winter months, this rate drops to 16.4% in the summer months. In dairy cattle farms, on the other hand, while the need can be supplied in winter with rainwater harvesting, the requirement can be supplied by storing the existing water and transferring it to different periods. Rainwater harvesting systems designed for livestock farms can pay for themselves in 7 years at the latest.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of seed priming with ascorbic acid (AsA) on germination and seedling characteristics of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) under different salinity levels. To this end, the study examined five salinity levels (0.20, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, and 20.0 dS m-1 NaCl) and four priming doses (control, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mM ascorbic acid). Salt stress negatively affected germination and some plant growth traits, such as radicle length (RL), plumule length (PL), radicle fresh weight (RFW) and plumule fresh weight (PFW), finally germination percentage (FGP), germination index (GI), mean germination time (MGT) and seedling vigor index (SVI). On the other hand, priming with AsA positively affected all parameters except FGP, PFW and salt tolerance index (STI). According to the interaction of salinity stress and priming, the highest values for GI (125.3), MGT (1.63 days), PFW (0.35 g), and STI (139.3%) were obtained at 5.0 dS m-1 salinity stress and 1.0 mM AsA dose. However, the highest value was obtained for RL (10.6 cm) and SVI (1170.7) at the control treatment and 0.5 mM AsA dose, whereas the highest value was obtained for PL (1.7 cm) at the control treatment and 1.0 mM AsA dose. Ascorbic acid at low doses (0.5 and 1.0 mM) had a positive effect on seedling germination and growth traits, while higher concentrations had a toxic effect on germination. Thus, it was concluded that priming rapeseed seeds with an AsA dose of 0.5 mM could reduce the restrictive impact of salinity stress on seed germination and seedling improvement. Further studies on the yield and growth parameters of rapeseed under salt stress by AsA application are recommended.

Patates Bolu ilinde en fazla yetiştirilen tarım ürünlerden biri olup, önemli ana zararlılarından biri Patates böceği Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)’dir. Bu çalışmada Patates böceği’nin Bolu ilinde doğal düşmanları ve kışlama özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Leptinotarsa decemlineata’nın doğal düşmanları olarak Chrysoperla carnea Stephens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) ve Semiadalia undecimnotata Schneider (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) türleri bulunmuştur. Patates böceği’nin laboratuvarda kültüre alınan ergin, larva ve yumurta dönemlerinden herhangi bir parazitoit çıkışı tespit edilememiştir. Çalışmanın ilk yılı kışlama denemelerinde zararlının ergin olarak 11 Ekim 2020 tarihinde kış diyapozuna girdiği, 15 Mayıs 2021 tarihinde kış diyapozundan çıktığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu dönemde pentat hava sıcaklığı ortalaması 15 °C, pentat nisbi nem ortalaması ise %59.32 olarak belirlenmiştir. İkinci yıl zararlının 05 Ekim 2021 tarihinde kış diyapozuna girdiği, 09 Mayıs 2022 tarihinde kış diyapozundan çıktığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın ikinci yılı ise Patates böceği’nin kış diyapozuna girdiği dönemde pentat hava sıcaklığı ortalaması 10.26 °C, pentat nisbi nem ortalaması ise %75.08 olarak belirlenmiştir.

Akdeniz meyvesineği, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), ticari değer taşıyan birçok meyve türünün önemli bir zararlısıdır. Bazı ülkelerin karantina listesinde yer alan bu zararlı kayda değer ekonomik kayıplara yol açabilmektedir. Daha çok tropik ve subtropik bölgelerde yaygın olan Akdeniz meyve sineğine Marmara Bölgesinde de rastlanılmıştır. Bu çalışma Akdeniz meyvesineğinin Marmara Bölgesi (Bursa, Kocaeli ve Yalova)’ndeki meyve bahçelerine bulaşma yollarını, kışlama durumunu ve alınması gerekli önlemleri belirlemek amacıyla ele alınmıştır. Bulaşma yolları; sebze-meyve hallerine ve şehirlerarası yol yakınındaki konukçu meyve türlerinin bulunduğu bahçelere asılan para-feromon trimedlure’lu delta tipi tuzaklarda ergin takibi, meyvelerde vuruk kontrolü ve vuruklu meyvelerin de laboratuvarda kültüre alınmasıyla belirlenmiştir. Kışlama durumu ise toprak örneklemesi, yumurta ve larva ile bulaşık meyvelerin bahçede tel kafes altına bırakılması, laboratuvar koşullarında elde edilen pupaların saksı içerisinde tel kafes altına konulması, konukçu meyve ağaçlarının taç iz düşümünü kapsayacak şekilde tel kafes altına alınması ile araştırılmıştır. Marmara Bölgesinde 2015 - 2018 yılları arasında yürütülen bu çalışmada tuzaklarda ilk erginler sebze - meyve hallerinde mayıs-haziran, meyve bahçelerinde ise temmuz-ağustos-eylül aylarında görülmüştür. Meyve bahçelerinde yoğun yakalanma ekim ayının üçüncü haftasında, son yakalanma aralık ayının ikinci haftasında gerçekleşmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda zararlının Marmara Bölgesine Akdeniz ve Ege Bölgesinden ticari amaçla getirilen larva veya yumurta ile bulaşık meyveler ile taşındığı kanısına varılmıştır. Ayrıca, zararlının bölge koşullarında kışı toprakta pupa veya meyve içerisinde larva döneminde geçirdiğine dair bir bulgu elde edilmemiştir. Zararlının bölgeye bulaşmaması ve yerleşmemesi için iç karantina önlemlerinin alınması, meyve-sebze hallerinde sanitasyonun sağlanması, hasat sonrasında yere dökülen ve dalda bırakılmış ticari değer taşımayan meyvelerin imhası gibi kültürel ve yasal önlemlerin alınması önemli bulunmuştur.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The biggest problem in oral health is dental caries and periodontal disease. The way to prevent dental and mouth problems is to keep oral hygiene. One of them is adequate plaque control. Plaque control can be done by brushing teeth and using toothpaste. Currently, many herbal ingredients have been used as antibacterials such as gambir (Uncaria gambir). Gambir mainly contains catechins and tannins, which have the ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria. The purpose of this study was to determine the antimicrobial potential of toothpaste containing gambir (Uncaria gambir). Methods: The total sample was 30, and it divided into three groups. Samples  were toothpaste containing  ten  percent  of  Uncaria gambir extract,  fluoride,  placebo  toothpaste, Streptococcus mutans (Gram-positive), Phorphyromonas  gingivalis (Gram-negative), and Candida albicans. Antimicrobial activity of toothpaste with gambir (Uncaria gambir) extract against microorganisms was observed with the formation of inhibitory zone diameter in agar. Data were analyzed by using SPSS with one-way ANOVA and Tukey test. Results: The results showed that toothpaste containing gambir extract could inhibit the Streptococcus mutans (p<0.05), Phorphyromonas  gingivalis (p<0.05), Candida albicans (p<0.05) compared significantly with placebo (p<0.05). Antimicrobial toothpaste containing gambir extract had no different effect from toothpaste containing fluoride. However, toothpaste containing gambir extract had significantly different effect than toothpaste containing fluoride. Conclusion: It can be concluded that toothpaste containing  gambir  (Uncaria gambir)  extract  has  antimicrobial  potential  against Streptococcus mutans, Phorphyromonas gingivalis, and Candida albicans. These findings showed that the extract of Uncaria gambir possesses potent antimicrobial activity. KEYWORDantimicrobial, Candida albicans, Phorphyromonas gingivalis, Streptococcus mutans, Uncaria gambir

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar as contribuições dos contextos de aprendizagem (formal, não formal e informal) associadas ao processo de formação de treinadores/as de basquetebol escolar. Metodologia: A partir de uma abordagem qualitativa foram entrevistados/as oito treinadores/as de um município do interior do estado de São Paulo (entrevista semiestruturada). O roteiro da entrevista foi composto por questões relacionadas à formação acadêmica e às diversas fontes nas quais o/a treinador/a busca o conhecimento profissional. A análise dos depoimentos pautou-se no método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Os/As entrevistados/as relataram a importância do contexto formal (graduação) em seu processo formativo, porém criticaram o distanciamento da área profissional. Resultados/discussão: O contexto não formal foi considerado como pouco relevante, dada a escassez de possibilidades e conteúdos distantes do contexto escolar, diferentemente do contexto informal, apontado como determinante para o seu processo formativo, que garantiu a diversificação e a procura de conhecimentos específicos para a realidade vivida por eles/as.
