Authors: Xu Chi-Ying , Tan Cai , Luo Xin , Yang Kun , Wu Ren-Ran , Lin Lei , Liu Guan-Lei , Duan Jin-Yuan
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

The efficacy of various bariatric surgeries varies in reducing blood glucose levels. Given the distinct mechanisms and anatomical alterations associated with each procedure, it is crucial to compare their glycemic control outcomes. We hypothesize that proximal small intestinal bypass (PSIB) is superior in blood glucose reduction over Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and jejunoileal bypass (JIB).

AIM

To compare the effectiveness of PSIB, RYGB, and JIB in lowering blood glucose.

METHODS

Rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were randomly divided into PSIB, RYGB, JIB, and sham-operated groups. Body weight, food intake, fasting blood glucose level, oral glucose tolerance test, insulin tolerance test, liver enzymes, and blood lipids were measured.

RESULTS

Postoperatively, only the JIB group had a lower body weight compared to the sham group. The food intake of the rats in all three surgical groups was significantly less than that in the sham group. Fasting blood glucose was reduced in all surgical groups and was lower in the PSIB group than in the RYGB and JIB groups. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity improved in all three surgical groups compared to the sham group, but the improvement appeared earliest in the PSIB group. At six weeks post-surgery, the PSIB group showed a reduction in alanine transaminase levels and maintained a normal lipid profile.

CONCLUSION

PSIB demonstrated excellent hypoglycemic effects in the early postoperative period, and had better efficacy than RYGB and JIB.

Degradation of Oxolinic Acid in Soil Under Simulated Natural Degradation Processes
Authors: Park So Yun , Kim Jae Gyeong , Jho Eun Hea
Published: January 2025

Oxolinic acid (OA), a quinolone-class antibiotic commonly used in domestic agriculture, exhibits low bioavailability, raising concerns about its potential environmental persistence. Residual OA in the environment can undergo partial degradation through natural processes, which are influenced by various factors. This study aimed to investigate the photodegradation and biodegradation patterns of OA under various environmental factors, including temperature, light intensity, soil usage, soil organic matter content (OM). Additionally, adsorption and desorption experiments were conducted to elucidate the relationship between OA degradation and its adsorption-desorption behavior in soil. In this study, two UV-A intensities (2.3 and 1.5 mW cm-2) and two temperatures (21.8 and 35.0oC) were applied to examine the OA degradation behavior. Biodegradation tests were conducted using soil samples with varying land uses (rice paddy, field) and OM (6.4% and 2.3%). Additionally, sorption tests were performed using the soil samples and OA solutions, followed by desorption tests on the OA-sorbed soil samples. In the photodegradation experiment, the OA degradation rate ranged from 16.6% to 51% across all conditions after 20 d. Compared to other antibiotics reported in previous studies, OA exhibited relatively slow photodegradation, and the variations in degradation rates under the tested experimental conditions were not statistically significant. In the case of biodegradation, similar degradation rates were observed in the field and rice paddy soils, with faster degradation occurring in soils with lower OM. The differing biodegradation patterns observed across soil samples could be partially explained by the adsorption-desorption characteristics of OA in soils. The degradation of antibiotics through simulated natural processes such as photodegradation and biodegradation did not exhibit consistent trends depending on the environmental factors or soil properties. This suggests that the degradation of antibiotics is a complex process influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to, environmental factors and soil properties. This study highlights the need for further research to better understand the behavior of residual antibiotics in soil environments.

Authors: Jeong Taemin , Kim Sangsik
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to address the critical issue of biofouling in water treatment membrane systems, which decreases operational efficiency and increases energy consumption. The study explores energy-efficient biofouling control methods, focusing on established and emerging technologies. The review examines various approaches, including surface modification, antimicrobial nanomaterials, and photocatalytic membranes. Techniques using zwitterionic polymers, amphiphilic coatings, silver nanoparticles (nAg), and nanodiamonds (UDD) are analyzed for their effectiveness in mitigating biofouling. Photocatalytic membranes employing Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are also evaluated for their sustainable microbial inhibition capabilities. Surface modification techniques demonstrated the potential to alter membrane hydrophilicity, effectively preventing microbial adhesion and biofilm formation. Incorporating antimicrobial nanomaterials such as nAg and UDD disrupted microbial cell membranes and enhanced hydrophilicity, significantly increasing biofouling resistance. Photocatalytic membranes utilizing MOFs produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light exposure, providing a sustainable and energy-efficient approach to biofouling control. However, the integration of real-time monitoring systems and AI-based predictive models remains necessary to further optimize membrane performance and reduce energy consumption. The development of multifunctional membranes that combine biofouling resistance with resource recovery capabilities is essential to tackle the global water crisis and ensure access to clean water. Continued research in integrating advanced technologies such as AI and sustainable materials will be pivotal in advancing energy-efficient biofouling control.

The UN has established the period from 2021 to 2030 as the Decade of the Oceans in view of the growing global problems
that occur in the marine environment, such as those caused by illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and litter in the
seas, which deserve an effective confrontation by all nations to achieve an effective solution. Abandoned, lost or discarded
fishing gear (ALDFG) is considered a huge global problem with significant negative impacts on marine and coastal
ecosystems. Sizing the problem is a basic premise for starting discussions to later define the necessary and relevant actions
to face the problem. In the international normative scenario, it is worth registering the text of the Agreement on Port State
Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Unreported and Unregulated Illegal Fishing, concluded at the 36th Session of
the FAO Conference, in Rome, Italy, on 22 November 2009, in which Brazil was the first country to sign. However, there
is a need for a federal standard that establishes general rules for registration purposes of users and traders of all fishing
equipment in Brazil.

Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes two aspects of the development of urban-construction
activities in the legal system of 19th-century Serbia: the position of construction
within the central state administration system and certain urban planning and
construction regulations. The author concludes that the Principality of Serbia
established a separate Ministry of Construction in 1859, rather than in 1862, as
previously thought. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates that, in the second half of
the 19th century, Serbia had an extensive body of legislation concerning urbanism
and construction. The Serbian state was particularly focused on regulating in detail
the administrative, financial, and technical aspects of building public constructions,
as well as implementing various measures to combat financial malpractices in
construction and substandard building practices.

Published: January 2025

This study is trying to assess the ability of AI to predict the opinion of people about climate change by giving importance to the psychological and behavioral facets of such opinions. The survey was conducted on 300 people in Pakistan by a self-administered questionnaire. The data analysis done in regard to these factors included the implementation of multiple statistical methods such as correlation, regression, and post-hoc analysis that would consider the complex interplay between several psychological factors in question. Some of the factors involved cognitive biases, emotional responses, and what the layperson in society thinks about climate change. The findings presented with this analysis clearly showed that the models in this study, driven by artificial intelligence, were far better than the traditional survey methods used for a long time. In this regard, the AI-driven models had an astonishing accuracy rate of 87%, whereas the accuracy rate of only 72% came with traditional approaches used in this study and was proven to be highly statistically significant, as indicated by the p-value being below 0.05. The regression analysis results showed that some psychological factors such as cognitive bias with a beta value of 0.75 and emotional responses at a beta value of 0.65 strongly and significantly predict the attitude of the people regarding climate change. Apart from the above primary analysis, post-hoc analysis brought a number of other insights to light, especially regarding the important role of social identity in forming a public perception related to climate change issues. The above findings depict promising scope for AI technology in refining and improving the strategy of climate change communication through an appropriate application of psychological knowledge within the predictive model.

Published: January 2025

A Comunidade Ylê Asé de Yansã, em Araras (SP), é um território ancestral, aquilombado e sagrado do Candomblé Jejê-Nagô. O texto explora práticas de existência e cura no Ylê, destacando os impactos do distanciamento social na pandemia de COVID-19 e situando a comunidade como espaço de resistência e cuidado coletivo. A cosmopercepção, conceito de Oyèrónkẹ Oyěwùmí, guia a análise ao enfatizar o lema comunitário “respeito à vida”, que conecta territorialidade, epistemologia e vida, unindo terra, espiritualidade e solidariedade. O Ylê desafia conceitos coloniais hegemônicos de “humano”, valorizando ancestralidade e relações com o território. Suas práticas não apenas resistem à colonialidade, mas propõem modos autônomos de viver e r-existir. Essa reflexão conjunta com narrativas das pessoas da comunidade evidencia o trabalho de sonhar como uma prática transformadora que abre caminhos para modos alternativos de existir. Assim, o Ylê fortalece lutas por soberania alimentar e territorial, reafirmando autodeterminação e cuidado como pilares de novos afrofuturos.

Este artigo analisa o modo como Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (1699-1782), que se tornou Conde de Oeiras em 1759 e entrou para a história com o título Marquês de Pombal, conferido dez anos depois, exercendo controle quase absoluto sobre sua biografia, fez de si próprio um mito fundacional de um novo tempo, estabelecendo uma série de crenças e postulados que foram obedientemente reproduzidos pela maior parte das narrativas historiográficas e biográficas a seu respeito ou relativas às chamadas reformas pombalinas ocorridas durante o reinado josefino, entre os anos de 1750 e 1777. Para alcançar tal objetivo, trataremos do caso específico da historiografia educacional, tendo como fonte principal os textos historiográficos que tratam da questão e os preâmbulos de um grupo selecionado de peças legislativas referentes à Instrução pública, comparando-os com registros biográficos e autobiográficos do próprio Pombal, com uso de alguns pressupostos teóricos relacionados aos mitos e mitologias.

Published: January 2025

Desde os primeiros escritos até os da maturidade, Machado de Assis não perde o Interesse pelo parasitismo. Leitor de Luciano de Samósata, Inspira-se em seu diálogo “O Parasita” e escreve o conjunto de crônicas “Aquarelas” (1859) versando sobre os principais tipos de parasitas no país. Tal temática desdobra-se e atravessa gêneros literários e fases do autor, fazendo de Viana, em Ressurreição (1872), e José Dias, em Dom Casmurro (1899), protótipos brasileiros do parasita da mesa. Dedicamo-nos a analisar tais parasitas, por meio dos recursos da tradição luciânica, buscando os sentidos suscitados. Para tanto, amparamo-nos em Bakhtin (2011), Brandão (2001), Sá Rego (1989), Gledson (2006), Santiago (2015), Schwarz (1991).

Incorporating Sustainable Development Principles in Africa’s Investment Treaty-Making
Authors: Qumba Mmiselo Freedom
Published: January 2025

African states have long been critical of the international investment law regime, believing that international investment agreements (IIA) are misaligned with their sustainable development efforts. As a result, they have crafted modern IIAs to address the legitimacy crisis within the investment law regime. Despite improvements in Africa’s new, modern IIAs, some countries continue to conclude bilateral investment treaties (BITs) framed in line with older-generation agreements. An overview of the recent trends in treaty drafting shows that African countries have embraced IIAs as important tools for sustainable development. This article revisits the International Law Association ‘New Delhi Declaration of Principles of International Law’ to formulate concrete legal solutions not only as binding legal principles for investors within the African continent but also as incentive to improve sustainability through self-monitoring rather than international or domestic enforcement. This underscores the importance for treaty interpreters and drafters to carefully recognise the integration and application of a sustainable development framework. Accordingly, the article integrates lessons from African experiences and articulates the sustainable development-oriented principles and concepts that should be considered by policy makers and treaty drafters when developing new model BITs or renegotiating the old generation IIAs.

Limberry (Triphasia trifolia) is one of traditional medicinal plants whereas its leaves are known for various uses, one of which is as an antibacterial agent. The most common bacteria found in marine waters is Vibrio sp. This work seeks to distinguish antibacterial compounds inside the ethanol extract of limberry leaves and assess its repressive effect on Vibrio sp. The research was conducted with three repetitions and five different concentration levels: D1 (5%), D2 (10%), D3 (15%), D4 (20%), and D5 (25%). The observational data were analyzed using a completely randomized design (CRD) analysis of variance, followed by the least significant difference (LSD) test at a 5% significance level. Phytochemical screening revealed that the ethanol extract of limberry leaves contained antibacterial compounds namely flavonoids, tannins, steroids, alkaloids, and phenolics. UV-Vis spectrophotometry analysis indicated that the ethanol extract of limberry leaves had absorption at wavelengths of 202, 211, 228, 253, 270, and 323 nm. FTIR analysis showed that the ethanol extract of limberry leaves contained some functional groups, i.e., O–H, C–H alkanes, C–H alkenes C≡N, C=O, C=C, C–O esters, and C–O ethers. The inhibitory test also demonstrated that the ethanol extract of limberry leaves could inhibit the growth of Vibrio sp., with inhibition zone diameters formed at each concentration of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% being 7.280, 7.640, 7.713, 8.027, and 8.070 mm, respectively.
