Interpretacje Kanta rozumienia „rodziny” jako wspólnoty domowej
Authors: Kieliszek Zdzisław
Published: January 2023

„Rodzinę” Kant pojmował przede wszystkim jako wspólnotę domową, a zasadnicze zręby uregulowania jej życia przedstawił w Metafizyce moralności. Opinia Kanta na temat „rodziny” już wkrótce po opublikowaniu dzieła spotkała się z krytyką. Wśród istniejących interpretacji Kanta rozumienia „rodziny” można wyróżnić trzy zasadnicze kierunki. Po pierwsze, są interpretacje polemizujące z Kantem (Friedrich L. Bouterwek, Christian G. Schütz, Georg W.F. Hegel, Carl A. Emge, Gerhard Buchda, Ernst Swoboda, Reinhard Brandt, Hariolf Oberer, Frank Kuhne). Po drugie, są interpretacje ukazujące, że Kanta spojrzenie na „rodzinę” jest zborne z innymi elementami jego filozofii (Karl Vorländer, Adam Horn, Julius Ebbinghaus, Klaus Steigleder, Pärttyli Rinne). Po trzecie, część badaczy odkrywa, że Kanta rozumienie „rodziny” było nie tylko jak na swoje czasy nowatorskie, ale zawiera wciąż inspirujący potencjał badawczy (Wolfgang Kersting, Bernd Ludwig, Barbara Herman, Sharon Byrd, Peter König, Francesca Di Donato). Natomiast po przeanalizowaniu wielu interpretacji zawartych w filozofii Kanta pojęcia „rodziny”, można dojść do następujących wniosków. Po pierwsze, zauważalny jest niedosyt opracowań wprost i obszernie analizujących Kanta rozumienie „rodziny”. Po drugie, istniejące interpretacje wyraźnie ogniskują się wokół pytania o spójność myśli Kanta na temat życia rodzinnego z innymi elementami jego filozofii. Po trzecie, nawet krytycy myśli Kanta wskazują, że jego spojrzenie na życie rodzinne było jak na tamte czasy nowatorskie. Po czwarte, Kanta pojęcie „rodziny” jest uważane za interesujący obszar badawczy, gdyż można się w nim doszukiwać ciekawych inspiracji do toczących się obecnie dyskusji, jak np. wokół kwestii ochrony i równouprawnienia kobiet, praw dzieci, warunków moralnej godziwości i prawomocności kontraktów społecznych, moralnej oceny i możliwości prawnego usankcjonowania związków homoseksualnych czy też rozumienia ludzkiej seksualności.
Mapping the Landscapes of Cybersecurity Education during the War in Ukraine 2022
Authors: Terepyshchyi Serhii , Kostenko Anastasia
Published: January 2023

The media is a powerful force in modern society. Students and teachers need to develop media literacy skills to be interested and critical consumers of the media. During the war in Ukraine, the development of higher education requires the adjustment of management principles, methods, and practices for organizing and conducting electoral processes to minimize security problems in education. Cyberspace is both an opportunity and a challenge for the security and privacy of personal data, as well as the research and learning process. Moreover, information such as academic data, research data, personal data, personal knowledge, complex equipment designs, and drawings for unpatented products has become extremely vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. According to experts and politicians, the frequency and severity of cyberattacks are expected to continue to rise and plunge into areas that have not been the main targets in the past, such as academic data. This paper is a continuation of the authors work and an attempt to add the following element to the puzzle of the methodology for minimizing security issues in education in the context of the war in Ukraine in 2022.
The Virtues of Xiao (Filial Piety) and Ti (Brotherly Obedience) as Two Pillars of Confucian Familism
Authors: Wesołowski Zbigniew
Published: January 2023

In imperial China (221 BC – 1911), filial piety (xiao) and brotherly obedience (ti) were two core values of family life. Confucian familism made filial piety a cornerstone of the entire social order. The original use of the word xiao from the Western Zhou dynasty (ca. 1045–771 BC) refers primarily to ritual services to deceased parents and ancestors. Later, the Confucians of the Warring States (475–221 BC) thought of xiao particularly as showing obedience and displaying respect towards parents. After the late Warring States, the Confucians again reinterpreted xiao extending it to a political dimension, i.e., obedience and respect to one’s lord. Since then, xiao as the dutiful submission of children to their parents has become the basis for both self-cultivation and the political order. Filial sons were also understood as loyal retainers to meet the needs of the emerging bureaucratic state in imperial China. Down through the centuries, parents constantly taught their children to treat elders with filial piety and brotherly obedience, this behavior being a central measure of the children’s moral worth. Although Confucian thought on the family still has its value and relevance in present-day China, it is increasingly exposed to many challenges. This situation is a consequence of the profound transformation of traditional family ethics, values and institutions brought about by the processes of modernization and globalization.
Epstein-Barr virus–associated primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma in an immunocompetent patient: illustrative case
Authors: Tabor Joanna K. , Lei Haoyi , Morales-Valero Saul F. , O’Brien Joseph , Gopal Pallavi P. , Erson-Omay E. Zeynep , Fulbright Robert K. , Moliterno Jennifer
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Primary intracranial leiomyosarcomas (PILMSs) are extremely rare tumors arising from smooth muscle connective tissue. PILMSs have been shown to be associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Thus far, EBV-associated PILMS has been exclusively described in immunocompromised patients.

OBSERVATIONS

A 40-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of left-sided headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a large, heterogeneously enhancing, lobulated, dura-based mass arising from the left middle cranial fossa with associated edema and mass effect. The patient underwent an uncomplicated resection of suspected meningioma; neuropathology revealed the exceedingly rare diagnosis of EBV-associated PILMS. Follow-up testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other immunodeficiencies confirmed the patient’s immunocompetent status.

LESSONS

Primary intracranial smooth muscle tumors are often misdiagnosed as meningiomas due to their similar appearance on imaging. PILMSs have a poor prognosis and gross total resection is the mainstay of treatment in the absence of clear recommendations for management. Prompt diagnosis and resection are important; therefore, these tumors should be included in the differential of dura-based tumors, especially among immunocompromised patients. Although EBV-associated PILMSs usually occur in immunocompromised individuals, their presence cannot be ruled out in immunocompetent patients.
Chrześcijańskie korzenie Europy w ujęciu Benedykta XVI
Authors: Warzeszak Józef
Published: January 2023

Autor artykułu, wykorzystując teksty przemówień, które Benedykt XVI kierował do Europejczyków podczas swego pontyfikatu, starał się ukazać, jaki wkład wniosło chrześcijaństwo, a zwłaszcza Kościół katolicki w budowę cywilizacji europejskiej. Otóż – według papieża – chrześcijaństwo przyniosło przede wszystkim religię monoteistyczną – objawioną wiarę w Boga w Trójcy Osób, a wyeliminowało politeizm i bałwochwalstwo; wniosło religię racjonalną, a uwolniło od irracjonalnych mitów i zabobonów; wniosło kulturę słowa, a przez wieki likwidowało analfabetyzm; wprowadziło ethos pracy, rozwinęło kulturę artystyczną: muzyczną, teatralną i malarską, powołało dzieła miłosierdzia, ukształtowało tożsamość narodów oraz tożsamość Europy. Autor przedstawił też oceny papieża odnośnie do  sytuacji politycznej, społecznej i ideologicznej we współczesnej Europie oraz jego opinie w kwestii jej zjednoczenia, uwzględniające plusy i minusy tego procesu, jak: zapewnienie pokoju na kontynencie i w świecie, rozwój gospodarczy i cywilizacyjny, dążenie do jedności, a nie do jednolitości; zdrową świeckość i poszanowanie autonomii Kościoła. Uwzględnił wreszcie wezwania, aby podstawą pomyślnej przyszłości Europy stało się respektowanie wartości uniwersalnych i chrześcijańskich. Chrześcijaństwo służy bowiem  „oczyszczaniu rozumu”, przyczynia się do formowania sumień i kształtowania humanizmu integralnego, a cześć oddawana Bogu oznacza zarazem troskę o człowieka.
Posłuszeństwo Jezusa Chrystusa w tajemnicy przymierza
Authors: Królikowski Janusz
Published: January 2023

W ramach współczesnej chrystologii, która powróciła do tradycji patrystycznej, a zwłaszcza do teologii św. Maksyma Wyznawcy, na nowo podkreśla się, że posłuszeństwo stanowi najwyższe wyrażenie życia i posłania Jezusa Chrystusa. W posłuszeństwie urzeczywistnia się osobowe utożsamienie bytu i misji Jezusa, wyrażające Jego relację do Boga Ojca i określające Jego wyjątkowość. Na tym gruncie można w sposób pogłębiony dokonywać interpretacji Jego dzieła na rzecz człowieka wykraczającego poza wszelkie redukcje immanentne. Takie ujęcie staje się potem punktem wyjścia do właściwego rozumienia i interpretowania dokonanego przez Niego dzieła zbawienia, a tym samym zawartego nowego przymierza. W niniejszym artykule zostaje ukazane posłuszeństwo Chrystusa w relacji do tajemnicy i dziejów przymierza, które stanowi niejako wstęp do właściwego ukazania formy i treści tego posłuszeństwa, a tym samym skonkretyzowania jego znaczenia soteriologicznego.
„Starość? Sama definicja? To jest skomplikowane…”. Wokół rozumienia pojęcia starości przez przedstawicieli różnych pokoleń
Authors: Kramkowska Emilia
Published: January 2023

Artykuł przedstawia sposoby rozumienia pojęcia starości wyrażane przez przedstawicieli pokolenia tradycjonalistów, pokolenia baby boomers oraz pokolenia X i Y, którzy uczestniczyli w badaniach jakościowych prowadzonych od stycznia do kwietnia 2022 roku. Zastosowane podejście obejmuje komparację prezentowanych punktów widzenia oraz stanowi próbę wyjaśnienia ich uwarunkowań, na podstawie opisanego w literaturze przedmiotu profilu każdej z generacji. Przeprowadzona analiza potwierdza, że przynależność do konkretnego pokolenia determinuje sposób postrzegania starości. Znajomość jej definiowania przez przedstawicieli czterech pokoleń może być pomocna w kształtowaniu postawy szacunku i tolerancji, niezbędnej dla zgodnego współżycia pokoleń egzystujących w społeczeństwie.

Thailand Energy Scenarios: Pathways towards Carbon Neutrality 2050
Authors: Pongthanaisawan Jakapong , Wangjiraniran Weerin , Nakapreecha Nitida
Published: January 2023

“Carbon neutrality” has become a challenging target for the energy sector, which may lead to a major structural redesign of the sector. This may inevitably have an impact on the country’s economic structure. Future policies should be carefully formulated, taking into consideration both the positives and negatives, as well as the short-and long-term effects on the nation’s energy and economy in the future.  This will ensure that the nation receives the maximum benefit in terms of energy security, carbon targets, environmental and social care, and sustainable economic growth.  The various driving factors to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 were analyzed based on the STEEP analysis, with an emphasis on the energy sector, which is found to make the largest contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. It found that political will, green technology, and financial incentives are the most influential factors in achieving the carbon neutrality target. These factors are considered as critical uncertainties when building two future scenarios for the energy sector. The Classic scenario reflects the attempt to achieve carbon neutrality with an emphasis on clean technologies, such as renewable energy, green hydrogen, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Meanwhile, the target will become even more challenging when energy efficiency is to be increased, such as electric vehicle. The Orchestra scenario shows how energy management, a decentralized energy system and promoting the prosumer market, especially in the residential sector, are used to try to reach carbon neutrality. In conclusion, both scenarios may result in the achievement of the 2050 carbon neutrality target. The Orchestra scenario may need planning, a holistic management approach, and active cooperation from various sectors. On the contrary, in the Classic scenario, most activities are restricted to the energy sector, which may entail some risks, particularly the rising demand for carbon offsets from other countries.

Authors: Santos Ariane Cristian Pinheiro dos , Leda Paulo Henrique de Oliveira , Talgatti Dávia Marciana
Published: January 2023

O presente artigo descreve estudo etnobotânico conduzido em Oriximiná-PA, a fim de identificar as principais espécies relatadas como úteis no tratamento do aparelho urinário. Foram entrevistados 90 moradores da zona urbana, indicados pelos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde, após realização de grupos focais para apresentar o projeto e discutir a respeito do uso de plantas medicinais. A faixa etária dos entrevistados variou entre 22 e 89 anos, com predominância do sexo feminino. Foram citadas 28 etnoespécies distribuídas em 21 famílias. Táxons mais citados foram Phyllanthus niruri L., Costus spicatus (Jacq.) Sw., Justicia cf. pectoralis Jacq., Persea americana Mill., Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.. Quanto à análise dos estudos farmacológicos publicados em base de dados, a quantidade para Ananas comosus (650) e Phyllanthus niruri (646) foram semelhantes, enquanto Persea americana demonstrou quantidade aproximadamente 57% superior às duas anteriores (1130). Costus spicatus destoa por apresentar quantidade reduzida de estudos (42). Ao analisar a presença destas espécies em 42 pesquisas etnobotânicas na região amazônica, notou-se que a espécie mais presente é a Persea americana (29), seguida de Phyllanthus niruri (22), Costus spicatus (21) e Ananas comosus (20). Apenas a Persea americana e Phyllanthus niruri estão presentes em normativas vigentes.
Os Saberes da Ayahuasca na Barquinha
Authors: Oliveira Rita Barreto de Sales
Published: January 2023

Este artigo tem como propósito analisar os saberes da ayahuasca, chá de origem indígena feito da combinação entre um cipó conhecido como mariri ou jagube e as folhas de um arbusto conhecido como chacrona, usado em diferentes contextos culturais como é o caso da religião brasileira chamada a Barquinha. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, apresentaram-se anotações biográficas e históricas acerca do surgimento da Barquinha; expuseram-se os fundamentos essenciais da mesma, a saber: educação enteógena, a floresta como projeto de vida, a interculturalidade, a educação estética, os saberes medicinais, e analisou-se a religião como espaço educativo. Dessa forma, verificou-se que, apesar de a sociedade acolher somente como racionais e legítimas as práticas e saberes adequados à soberania epistêmica da ciência moderna, as religiões ayahuasqueiras têm desfrutado de um momento singular, com um crescimento que chega a 10% ao ano.

Species of the genus Dioscorea are widely distributed throughout the world. It is a resource used in different countries because theyproduce tubers that offer numerous benefits for human health due to their diosgenin content, a compound that is used as: anti-inflammatory, androgenic, estrogenic and in the preparation of contraceptive drugs; It is also mentioned that these compounds havecytotoxic, antitumor, antifungal, immunoregulatory, hypoglycemic and cardiovascular properties, they are also used for theprevention and treatment of degenerative diseases. Species such as Dioscorea bulbifera, Dioscorea cayenensis, Dioscorea colletii,Dioscorea deltoidea, Dioscorea futschauensis, Dioscorea nipponica, Dioscorea panthaica, Dioscorea parviflora, Dioscoreapolygonoides, Dioscorea pseudojaponica, Dioscorea spongiosa, Dioscorea villosa, Dioscorea composita, Dioscorea zingiberensis,produce a higher concentration of diosgenin. The tubers and roots of this group are part of the oldest foods consumed by humans,given their high nutritional, ecological and economic level. In many tropical countries, the use of various tubers and roots of thegenus Dioscorea play a very important role as a main source of energy and essential nutrients at low cost, they are also used asfodder for livestock and a source of income. This plant are rich in starch, vitamins, minerals and lipids, and have the potential tofight hunger in third world countries. Currently there is little or no knowledge in Mexico on how to cultivate these species.
Los Potenciales Relacionados a Eventos (PREs): una técnica para estudiar el funcionamiento del cerebro durante el procesamiento de información
Authors:   Instituto de Neurociencias. Universidad de Guadalajara, México., Huerta-Chávez Vladimir , Rivera-Tello Sergio
Published: January 2023

Event-related potentials (ERPs) electrophysiological technique has been used for decades as a reliable neurophysiological toolfor the study of sensory, motor, and cognitive processes. This technique captures the brain’s electrical activity signalsynchronized with a particular event, such as the appearance of an auditory stimulus, a written word, or an image. Given thehigh temporal resolution offered by ERPs, it is possible to study rigorously the course and temporal dynamics of the neuralprocesses involved in information processing. Furthermore, ERPs are also reliable neurophysiological markers for thediagnosis of sensitive pathways disorders and are useful in the study of brain function disorders such as injuries,neurodegenerative diseases, and neuropsychiatric disorders such as Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. Accordingly, weconsider it relevant to carry out a general review of the theoretical and methodological fundamentals of ERPs.

Memory is the process by which learning experiences are stored and retained through associative, conscious, and non-consciousmechanisms and it is susceptible to change over time. Memory can be classified in several ways, one of them according to thepermanence of the information, considers a short- and long-term memory, mainly determined by the initial process of memoryformation. This process involves four fundamental stages: encoding, consolidation, store and retrieval, involving modification ofthe synaptic strength between neurons of an engram, with participation of specific neurotransmitters and receptors, giving rise toLong-Term Potentiation (LTP); the interaction of various brain areas is also required, mainly hippocampus and cerebral cortex.Memory storage is the result of dynamic processes between engrams, which represent a permanent but fragmented storage ofmemories, while memory retrieval involves an interaction between a stimulus and a previously stored engram set, being largelydependent on the repetition of the original engram connectivity pattern. Memory can be affected by toxic environments that altercommunication between neurons and/or brain structures, leading to memory loss. The most common pathologies where memory isaffected are Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia.

[First para.]: "Psychological trauma can be defined, roughly, as the effect of an experience which the mind is unable to process, assimilate, and assign to the past.  A traumatizing experience, therefore, is defined not by its intrinsic properties but by the mind’s response to it (Herman, 2001).  Critical trauma studies takes this anti-essentialist insight one step further by examining how social relations and cultural meanings produce trauma, in two ways. First, relations of denigration and oppression entail traumatizing experiences for individuals and groups — through class, race, gender, sexuality, and so on. Second, the concept of trauma is, itself, socially constructed and performative." 
Interpersonal Communication Instruction During COVID-19: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Chen Sibo
Published: January 2023

[Introduction]: "The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 have disrupted higher education worldwide. On March 11,  2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. In Canada, the declaration expedited the introduction of preventive measures by governments at different levels to curb the spread of the virus, including the closure of universities. Consequently, in-person courses were frantically switched to “emergency remote teaching” (ERT). At the time of writing (January 2021), countries across the northern hemisphere are undergoing the second wave of climbing COVID-19 cases. Accordingly, ERT is expected to continue at many postsecondary institutions over the next few months. 

With ERT becoming the new norm of higher education, there are growing concerns among educators about its impacts on instructors and students. On Facebook, for instance, relevant conversations have taken place in groups like “pandemic pedagogy.” As summarized by Schwartzman (2020), the “pandemic pedagogy” group’s founder and lead moderator, such conversations shed light on several challenges novice online instructors have encountered, notably the erosion of autonomous time and space, the relative merits of synchronous and asynchronous content, and the balance between rigor and accommodation. Echoing the educator concerns expressed on Facebook, recently published case studies on education during COVID-19 have explicated the limits of ERT. For example, Barton (2020) survey of 117 U.S. postsecondary instructors whose courses including ﬁeld activities found that the abrupt shift to ERT has presented unique challenges for achieving learning outcomes typically associated with face-toface ﬁeld activities. For disciplines such as ecology, environmental studies, and geography, instructors were forced to either substantially reduce ﬁeld-related learning outcomes or substitute them with instructor-centered remote activities."

Application of a Blockchain Model in the Energy Market for Social Goodness: A Simulator to Generate Transactions
Authors: D'Orazio Annunziata , Elia Stefano , Santini Ezio
Published: January 2023

An application of blockchain technology to manage electricity flows in a Microgrid (MG) is studied. The grid is considered for civil use, equipped with generation and storage systems, and interfaced with the national grid. It is composed of energy nodes such as user, generator, accumulator, and customs officer node, each characterized by its own time profile, in a limited time interval, of energy flow (consumption, generation, charge/discharge, purchase/sold). The proposed management strategy is based on the principle of free trade managed through blockchain. A simulation tool is developed to evaluate the electricity flows for different scenarios. The blockchain of energy transactions is generated by means of a dedicated software and having as reference a set of ethical/economical rules. It is demonstrated that it is possible to design energy management and exchange systems that allow in an economic way, within the delicate balance between energy availability, technology, market, safety, freedom and needs of individual users, to optimize the exchange of resources and to decrease waste. This blockchain exchange strategy can be implemented without building new plants and avoiding expensive and complex systems, by installing only bidirectional meters equipped with telecommunication, in addition to a common computer management system. The aim of this work is to demonstrate importance and technical feasibility of enforcing rules on the correct use of energy. The peer-to-peer operating mode is different from the technique currently in force in conventional energy systems, in which always a control body (energy, economic, financial) supervises and manages any transaction between users.

- Un segundo apartado, lo dedica a población adulta; se enfoca en la investigación neuropsicológica y las reflexiones en salud mental. Enfatiza que la evaluación nunca puede separarse del proceso de intervención y, desde la teoría de Luria, se la denomina evaluación interventiva, que constituye un proceso dinámico, único, indisoluble y dialéctico. Incluye el análisis de la población adulta mayor en donde evidencia el hecho de que la población está envejeciendo y, por ende, debe enfrentarse a nuevos retos tanto individuales como sociales. La propuesta general es el envejecimiento exitoso que busca cómo añadirle calidad de vida a los años y no solamente conseguir una vida más larga sumando años a la cuenta. En población de adultos mayores es interesante el estudio pionero que permitió identificar la prevalencia del deterioro cognitivo en pacientes en Hemodiálisis (HD), en la ciudad de Azogues-Ecuador. 154 páginas e-SBN: 978-9942-822-94-9

Evaluation of Stool Antigen Test in patients infected by Helicobacter pylori after Eradication Therapy
Authors: Tahir Pinar Haqqi
Published: January 2023

Noninvasive tests for Helicobacter pylori are important in primary care, both for initial diagnosis of H. pylori infection and for confirmation of eradication. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a stool antigen test after therapy. We studied 30 patients (16 males & 14 females) infected with H. pylori at the outpatient clinic in Azady teaching hospital. After the completion of triple eradication therapy, all patients were subjected to the examination of the stool antigen test. Of the total 30 cases, there were 23 cases with negative stool Ag test after therapy. All seven cases without therapy were positive stool, Ag. The result of the stool antigen test after therapy was 76% (negative in 23 patients, false-negative in 7 patients). We concluded that a negative result on stool antigen testing after completion of therapy recognizes patients in whom the eradication of H. pylori was successful.

Published: January 2023

Two cases of HBsAg seroconversion, following treatment with Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, were reported amongst the patients with chronic hepatitis B infection attending gastrointestinal clinic in a tertiary hospital. The patients had liver biopsy done during their evaluation, following which they were commenced on the medication. Tenofovir was taken for four years and two years respectively before they lost the hepatitis B surface antigen and developed quantifiable antibodies to the surface antigen (Anti-HBs). Loss of HBsAg is a rare event, and seroconversion in patients with CHB is even less common. Studies have shown that HBsAg loss and seroconversion is less likely with patients on the oral antiviral agents compared with pegylated interferon. Although, both patients had very low pretreatment hepatitis B viral load which might indicate strong immune response to the virus, a factor that could have been partly responsible for the seroconversion. They however, had significant liver fibrosis on histology prior to their seroconversion and will require hepatocellular cancer surveillance until normalization of the liver histology can be ascertained

Published: January 2023

Background: Diabetes mellitus persists as a major global health challenge despite several interventions. Remedies from natural plant products such as Parkia biglobosa (PB) seeds promises to be an effective alternative with no or fewer side effects. This study sort to assess and compare the total protein, fatty acid profile, phytochemical, antioxidant and antihyperglycaemic effect of fermented (FSE) and non-fermented (NSE) seed extract of PB in streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced (STZ-N) diabetic rats. Methods: Proximate composition (total proteins and lipids), fatty acid composition (by Soxhlet extraction with petroleum ether followed GC-MS) as well as phytochemical constituent and radical scavenging activity were performed on FSE and NSE. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (65 mg/kg b.w) followed by nicotinamide (110 mg/kg b.w) 15 minutes afterwards. Diabetic rats were orally treated with FSE and NSE (at 100 mg/kg b.w and 250 mg/kg b.w) or glibenclamide daily for 28 days. The antihyperglycemic effect was evaluated using biochemical parameters such as fasting blood glucose levels (FBG), lipid profile and kidney function parameters. Result: Protein and crude fat levels in the fermented were higher than non-fermented (12.5% and 97.6%, respectively). Polyunsaturated fatty acids were present in both. NSE had higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The 250 mg/kg b.w of NSE and FSE reduced serum glucose levels by 53% and 42%, comparable to 39.5% of glibenclamide. total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL cholesterol levels were reduced, with increased HDL levels. Further improvement in kidney function parameters was observed compared to the diabetes control. Conclusion: This study showed that both non-fermented and fermented seed extract of PB exerted antihyperglycemic effects and had potent therapy for type 2 diabetes and related nephropathy.

Most of the maize used in Senegal comes from abroad. However, no contamination data is available to date for maize imported into Senegal. The objective of this study is to determine the food safety level of maize from France, Argentina and the United States. The analysis of aflatoxins in corn samples is carried out on a High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph. PDA culture medium is used for the isolation, purification and identification of potentially mycotoxinogenic molds contaminating imported corn. The results of the analyzes show the presence of aflatoxins in all the samples. In 35% of the samples, the levels of aflatoxin contamination exceed the standards set by the European regulations in force. They also reveal the presence of mycotoxinogenic molds in this corn. These are two aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus (A. flavus and A parasiticus) and Penicillium sp. As a result, and faced with this threatening situation for public health, Senegal must take a major interest in ensuring that imported products comply with international health standards.

Authors: H Hasanuddin , Wijaya Dannu , Darussalam Dora
Published: January 2023

Background: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is the discharge of amniotic fluid before the signs of labor. PROM is still a serious problem in obstetrics because it has a negative impact on the infant's final outcome. Therefore, this study aims to identify the infant outcomes with premature rupture of membranes after seven days of age at Dr. Zainoel abidin general hospital Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Methods and Materials: This study was an analytic observational study with a prospective cohort study design, using a sample size of 84 infants that met the inclusion criteria. This design was chosen because the researchers wanted to assess the outcomes of 7 days after birth due to PROM. The population in this study were all low birth weight infants who born due to PROM from January to September 2020 at Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Results: The results showed that the infant outcomes after 7 days born due to PROM were not encouraging, with a p-value < 0.000. The lowest neonatal survival rate in the group weighing less than 1,000 grams was 0%. The 1,000 gram to 1,500 gram heavy group had a 55% survival rate and the 1,500 gram to 2,500 gram group had a 95% survival rate. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, premature rupture of membranes (PROM) increased infant mortality after 7 days of age at Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Banda Aceh, Indonesia.

Introduction: Systemic inflammatory diseases (autoimmune and autoinflammatory) are quite infrequent and challenging to diagnose. The intent of this study is to determine the hospital frequency, clinical, and immunological aspects of these diseases in the internal medicine department of the CNHU-HKM of Cotonou. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study that was conducted from March 30 to October 30, 2018, and involved patients followed in the Internal Medicine Department of the CNHU-HKM for systemic inflammatory diseases Results: During the study period (7 months), 699 patients had consulted the service. We counted 23 patients for our study, i.e. a frequency of 3.3%. The average age was 44 (±12) years with extremes of 24 to 64 years. The majority of our patients were women with a sex ratio (M/F) of 0.09. Prolonged fever was the primary reason for admission (34.8%), followed by polyarthralgia (25%). Systemic lupus was the most represented (52.2%), followed by scleroderma (13%), mixed connectivity (13%). As for the class of systemic inflammatory diseases, systemic autoimmune diseases were the most represented (87.0%). Anti-nuclear antibodies were the most frequent (56.5%). Conclusion: Systemic inflammatory diseases are little known in Benin Republic. In fact, their clinical and immunological presentations are quite polymorphic.
