Published: August 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: A síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) é uma polineuropatia inflamatória aguda do Sistema Nervoso Periférico, sendo uma doença neurológica rara e é caracterizada por uma mediação do sistema imune do indivíduo contra antígenos do próprio corpo. A causa da doença ainda não é muito bem conhecida. Dentre suas manifestações clínicas estão presentes perda progressiva da motricidade no indivíduo, arreflexia e anomalias sensoriais. OBJETIVOS: Elucidar a fisiopatologia e os processos imunológicos da Síndrome de Guillain-Barré, assim como suas manifestações clínicas, os métodos de diagnóstico e o seu tratamento/prognóstico. MÉTODOS: Revisão bibliográfica integrativa acerca da Síndrome de Guillain-Barré pelas bases de dados Scielo e PubMed. RESULTADOS: Foram analisados seis artigos, entre os anos 2010 e 2019, nas bases de dados consultadas referentes a descobertas recentes de formas de transmissão de SGB e de tratamento, além de aspectos clínicos, laboratoriais e epidemiológicos da doença. CONCLUSÃO: A SGB é considerada a maior causa de paralisia generalizada aguda após a erradicação da poliomielite. A terapia da doença tem como base a plasmaferese e IVIg, no entanto 20% dos casos tem prognóstico insatisfatório. Desse modo, a importância de investir em novas medidas terapêuticas - visando diminuir sequelas e expandindo a atuação para linfócitos T – deve ser enfatizada.
An economic model for estimating batch finishing system profitability with an application in estimating the impact of preventive measures for porcine respiratory disease complex
Authors: Miller Gay , Song Yanghoon , Bahnson Peter
Published: August 2024

Objective: To develop a flexible economic model for estimating disease prevention profitability in batch swine finishing. Methods: This spreadsheet model demonstrates relationships beyond basic production costs. Variation in weight gain drives variation in market weight and revenue. Mean weight and variation of weight, combined with the pricing matrix, drives revenue. User inputs may include costs, performance (feed conversion rate (FCR), mortality, ADG and its variability), and pricing matrix. The model calculates economic efficiency measures, and contrasts results for fixed time (DATE) and target market weight (WEIGHT) production systems. Default values are provided for all inputs, reflecting 1995 to 1998 US averages. Sensitivity analyses assess the influence of user-specified variables on profitability. The model estimates production improvements necessary to cover health intervention costs. Results: Profitability is influenced by rate of gain and feed conversion; this relationship is strongest in the DATE system. Vaccine costing $1.00 per pig increased annual profits $3053 and $8007 per 1020-head barn, depending on the marketing focus and other assumptions. Also, to cover vaccination cost of $1.00, ADG must increase from 1.6887 to 1.7725 lb (WEIGHT) or 1.7100 lb (DATE ), or FCR must improve from 3.1200 to 3.0545 for either marketing strategy. Vaccination internal rate of return is 13.6 to 19.7% depending on the production system. Implications: This model evaluates the economic impact of health interventions or production efficiency changes and can use farm-specific data. Understanding the economics of health interventions allows economically driven decision making by veterinarians and pig producers.

Authors:   ME Student, Department of Civil Engineering, Gnanamani College of Technology, V Vijayadurga , T Sathieskumar ,   Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Gnanamani College of Technology
Published: August 2024

Textile spinning mills generate wastewater containing high levels of pollutants such as suspended solids, dyes, oils, and organic compounds. This study investigates the electrocoagulation-flocculation (ECF) process as a sustainable treatment method. ECF combines electrocoagulation, where an electric current induces pollutant coagulation, and flocculation, which aggregates these pollutants for removal. Extensive lab experiments were conducted, analyzing setup, procedures, and results. The study found that ECF significantly reduced pollutants, achieving high removal efficiencies for suspended solids, COD, color, and oil/grease. Economic analysis confirmed ECF's cost- effectiveness over conventional methods. A case study demonstrated successful implementation, highlighting operational efficiency and environmental compliance. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and industrial applications. Key Words: Electrocoagulation, Textile Wastewater, Sustainable Wastewater Treatment, Spinning Mill, Pollutant Removal

CHINESE AND EUROPEAN LINGUISTIC TRADITIONS AS WORLDVIEW VARIATIONS
Authors:   Candidate Of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor, Uzbekistan, Mamadiyorovich Djurayev Dilshod
Published: August 2024

This article explores the differences between European and Chinese cognitive strategies as the basis for the "non-adaptability" of European grammatical categories to the Chinese language and the absence of "grammar" in the Chinese linguistic heritage. The analysis of linguistic elements involved in the formation and nomination of fundamental concepts of ancient and ancient Chinese philosophy identifies two distinct initial models of the world: a matter-oriented model and an energy-oriented model. This is based on the universality of the concept of "model-dependent realism" in relation to cognition. The energy-oriented picture of the world coincides with the unmanifest Principle's incomprehensibility, whereas the matter-oriented model correlates with the human mind's knowledge of the world's laws. The matter-oriented model has given rise to a methodologically reductionist approach to cognition, including language cognition. European grammar was looking for answers to the following questions: "What units exist?", "In what relations are they with each other?" and "What laws describe these relations?". When the studied languages were formed during the implementation of the same initial matter-oriented model of the world, this approach.

Published: August 2024

A aquaponia é a integração do sistema de recirculação de aquicultura com o cultivo hidropônico por meio do aproveitamento dos nutrientes produzidos no sistema RAS na hidroponia, Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da inclusão de solução aquapônica sobre o desempenho produtivo do tambaqui e das variáveis físico-químicas da água. Para isso, utilizou-se três tratamentos (T1 = Solução aquapônica s/ ureia; T2 = Solução aquapônica + Ureia; e, T3 = Controle), quatro repetições cada, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Ao final do período experimental foi possível concluir que: 1) o sistema de biofiltragem foi eficiente para nitrificar a amônia oriunda da hidrolisação da ureia, disponibilizando nitrato para o acoplamento de um cultivo aquapônico integrado; 2) não houve mortalidade de peixes nas condições hídricas necessárias (pH, alcalinidade e sais) para o cultivo de plantas de interesse hidropônico; e, 3) a inclusão nutritiva da ureia potencializou o desempenho produtivo do tambaqui criado em sistema RAS, porém são necessários estudos posteriores que possam determinar o motivo desse maior crescimento.

Published: August 2024

Biofilmes são complexos conglomerados de células capazes de aderirem-se sobre vários tipos de estruturas, incluindo aquelas utilizadas nas indústrias de alimentos. Staphylococcus aureus é um patógeno humano oportunista, considerado um problema para a indústria de alimentos, pois além do frequente envolvimento em surtos de intoxicação alimentar, é capaz de aderir-se em diferentes superfícies, formando biofilmes. Inicialmente 23 cepas de S. aureus isoladas de pescado salgado foram testadas quanto à capacidade de formação de biofilmes. Caldo TSB estéril foi utilizado como controle negativo (C-) e uma cepa de Staphylococcus coagulase positiva fortemente formadora de biofilme, já conhecida, foi utilizada como controle positivo (C+). As cepas foram classificadas segundo a aderência na tampa das placas, seguindo a metodologia proposta. Pode-se observar que 62,2% (15/23) das cepas foram classificadas como fracamente formadoras de biofilme, enquanto 21,7% (5/23) e 8,7% (2/23) caracterizaram-se como moderadamente e fortemente formadoras de biofilme, respectivamente. Com isso, observa-se a importância da adoção de boas práticas de higiene, além da correta limpeza e sanitização de equipamentos e superfícies de processamento de alimentos.

Published: August 2024

Transportation services are the most significant contributor to the deficit in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) services trade. From 2016 to 2019, eight out of ten countries in the ASEAN still experienced a trade deficit in transportation services. So that this condition does not drag on in a continuous deficit, one of the policies that each country can carry out is to increase the export performance of transportation services. This study aims to determine the factors that affect the export of transportation services in ASEAN. The secondary data used is trade flow data from 2012 to 2019 from the ASEAN Secretariat and World Bank. The method used is panel data regression with the Random Effect Model (REM). The result found that foreign direct investment, exports of goods, and value-added services significantly affect exports of transportation services in ASEAN. Meanwhile, internet users and exchange rates do not substantially affect exports of transportation services in ASEAN. The results of this study recommend continuing to improve the climate for ease of investment. In addition, it is essential to utilize resources that can increase the production of transportation services and maintain the availability of raw materials and capital goods.
Kinerja Ekspor Produk Teh Indonesia di Pasar Internasional: Asesmen Perjanjian Perdagangan Indonesia

Published: August 2024

The decline in Indonesian tea products export performance does not correspond to the Government initiatives to reduce barriers through trade agreements. This research aims to analyse the export performance and the role of trade agreements towards Indonesian tea products export. This study employs panel data regression with a 15-year time series (2007-2021) and a cross-section of 40 destination countries. The data are analysed using a modified export approach gravity model with Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimation. The research results show that the Indonesian tea products export destinations are dominated by Asia (19 countries) and Europe (12 countries). The regression results suggest that the implementation of trade agreements with Asian and European region countries has not effectively increased Indonesian tea products export. On the other hand, the implementation of trade agreements with other region countries, i.e., Australia and New Zealand, has successfully promoted export towards Indonesian tea products. Those can be attributed to trade agreements underutilization and trade barriers imposed by the trade agreement members. Hence, inward and outward-looking strategies are necessary to promote the export creation effect of implemented trade agreements towards Indonesian tea product exports.

In addressing the problem of Ti steel (15-15Ti) proposed as the main candidate material for the manufacture of coatings and fuel wrappers for liquid LBE-cooled fast reactors at high temperatures related to material degradation, such as liquid metal embrittlement (LME) and liquid metal corrosion (LMC), Gong et al. conducted research related to the creep failure behavior of solution-annealed 15-15Ti steel exposed to LBE at temperatures of 550 and 600oC using a creep test facility. However, in this study, testing the mechanical properties of 15-15Ti steel through tensile testing was not really discussed, even though the mechanical properties of a material are one of the most important things in determining structural design. The mechanical properties obtained from previous research were then simulated using ABAQUS CAE software to determine the stress distribution profile (initial and final) and the mechanical stress-strain performance used to understand more about the 15–15Ti material. From the simulation results, it was found that the peak force received by the specimen for a strain rate of 1.1 x 10-5s-1 was 6.0 kN, while for a strain rate of 5 x 10-5s-1, it was 6.2 kN. This means that the specimen used cannot accept a force greater than the peak force value. A stress-strain difference graph was also obtained in the experimental results, with simulation results showing a decrease in the value of the fracture point. This is because the mesh setting in the simulation is not close to a more detailed value.

Published: August 2024

Waste marble powder generated from the sawing and the mining activity of marble stone caused environmental problems that harmed human health. This current research aimed to investigate the influence of waste marble powder to substitute cement partially in mortar production. The mortar preparation with the mixture compositions of 0-50% marble powder was investigated for their resistance of compression and their porosity. The characterization was assessed with X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The finding of this research revealed that a replacement by up to 10% marble powder obtained an increase in compressive strength after 28 days. A low level of marble powder to replace cement led to a less porous microstructure of the mortars. These confirmed that waste marble powder could be applied to manufacture mortars. In addition, the utilization of waste marble powder as an alternative building material would reduce the damage to the environment.

Published: August 2024

Background: Since there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is important to develop methods that could contribute to its diagnosis and propose new therapeutic approaches for its treatment. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that can be used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease, as some radiotracers have been developed to detect amyloid plaques, one of the hallmarks of the disease. However, the radiotracers already used for the diagnosis of AD have a low half-life, which limits their use over the time and requires the presence of a cyclotron close to the examination site. The use of copper complexes could be a good alternative for the development of new radiotracers, since they can be used in PET imaging and have a longer half-life than the other radiotracers already used for AD diagnosis. Aim of the study: Design and synthesize copper complexes that could be used as PET radiotracers able to cross the blood brain barrier and detecting amyloid plaques.Material and methods: The first objective was to design a series of new copper complexes with the capacity to target amyloid plaques inside the brain and contribute to the rational synthesis of such complexes. To this end, theoretical models were used to predict the ability of the complex to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) which separates brain from de blood and is main gatekeeper for drugs entering the brain. The models employed consider the physicochemical properties of the molecules. Based on these models, one of the molecules was synthesized in ten steps. The key step in the synthetic strategy was the coupling of a monopicolinate-N-alkylated cyclam-based ligand with a moiety capable of recognizing Aβ plaques via a Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reaction. Potentiometric, spectrophotometric and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic studies were performed to determine the structure and thermodynamic stability of the complex. In addition, the ability to target amyloid plaques was evaluated using brain sections from Alzheimer's disease patients and the cytotoxicity was evaluated using human neuronal cells.Results: A first complex has been designed and synthesized. The physicochemical studies performed indicate that this complex seem to be thermodynamically stable. In addition, cytotoxicity tests on human neuronal cells indicate low toxicity and labeling tests on brain sections from Alzheimer's patients suggest that the complex is capable of recognizing amyloid plaques. Conclusion: We have developed a novel copper complex that is able to detect recognize amyloid plaques. In the future this molecule could be used in PET and contribute to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. From these results, we also propose to develop a new copper complex for tau PET imaging.

Published: August 2024

Metal chalcogenide hierarchical nanostructures as energy conversion devices were studied in this chapter. Cd-chalcogenide nanostructures were chosen as sample study due to their unique properties as energy converter. In the first step, different methods were introduced to grow this type of nanostructures. It was discussed three low cost-effective methods to grow the Cd-chalcogenide nanostructures such as thermal evaporation (chemical and physical vapor depositions), chemical bath deposition, and electrochemical methods. However, it was observed that samples were grown by a pulsed laser deposition method as a complex method. In addition, effects of growth conditions on morphology and optical properties of the nanostructures were investigated. In the second step, the fundamentals of solar energy conversion were described. Furthermore, quantum physics of semi- conductor solar cells was studied. Finally, the Cd-chalcogenide nanostructures were introduced as solar energy conversion and important factors that can affect the efficiency of this type of solar cells were introduced.

The fabrications of nanostructured GaN by electrochemical etching and laser-induced etching have been attempted. Laser processing has the advantages of not causing damage or contamination, as well as of special selectivity with high resolution and high efficiency. The studies on the fundamental properties of these nanostructures are very important due to their unique structural and optical properties relative to the bulk form of the corresponding material. To the best of our knowledge, this has never been reported before.

Este estudo examinou a incidência e mortalidade por Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) no Brasil entre 2018 e 2023, utilizando dados do Datasus. Constatou-se uma diminuição de 4,40% nas internações por AVC não especificado hemorrágico ou isquêmico (CID-I64), com uma média anual de 169.419 internações (desvio padrão: 15,58). O menor número de internações foi registrado em 2020, com 153.714 casos, e o maior em 2023, com 196.113 casos. Em relação aos óbitos, houve uma leve redução, com o menor número de óbitos registrado em 2020 (23.474) e o maior em 2023 (27.471), resultando em uma média anual de 25.575 óbitos (desvio padrão: 1,74). As internações foram mais frequentes nas faixas etárias de 70 a 79 anos e 60 a 69 anos, enquanto os óbitos foram predominantemente na faixa de 80 anos ou mais. Regionalmente, a maior concentração de internações e óbitos ocorreu no Sudeste, seguido pelo Nordeste. Considerando a proporção da população, a maioria dos óbitos foi na região Sudeste, seguida pelo Centro-Oeste, Sul, Nordeste e Norte, indicando uma carga substancial de mortalidade na região Sudeste. Esses resultados ressaltam a necessidade de estratégias de saúde pública regionalizadas e direcionadas a grupos etários específicos. A análise longitudinal revela tendências que podem orientar políticas de saúde mais eficazes, voltadas para a prevenção e tratamento do AVC no Brasil, melhorando a qualidade dos cuidados e reduzindo a carga dessa condição na população.

Introdução: A candidíase esofágica é uma infecção fúngica do esôfago causada principalmente pelo fungo Candida albicans, prevalente em indivíduos imunocomprometidos, como aqueles com HIV/AIDS, em tratamento quimioterápico ou em uso prolongado de corticosteroides. Esta condição pode causar disfagia, odinofagia, dor retroesternal e complicações graves como estenose e perfuração esofágica. Objetivo: Este artigo visa realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre as abordagens terapêuticas disponíveis para pacientes com candidíase esofágica, discutindo as opções de tratamento antifúngico, suas eficácias, efeitos adversos e estratégias de manejo de casos refratários. Metodologia: Essa revisão integrativa da literatura, foi realizada por busca em base de dados de artigos que correspondessem ao tema proposto. Incluiu-se avaliação dos artigos elegíveis na íntegra, excluindo aqueles que não se enquadram nos objetivos do estudo, teses e dissertações, sem contabilizar duplicatas.  Resultados e Discussão: O fluconazol demonstrou ser a primeira linha de tratamento devido à sua alta eficácia (80 a 90%) e baixo risco de toxicidade. Alternativas como voriconazol, posaconazol, itraconazol e isavuconazol mostraram eficácia similar, mas são menos preferidas devido a efeitos adversos e interações medicamentosas. Em casos de infecção por espécies não-albicans, especialmente aquelas resistentes ao fluconazol, equinocandinas e, em casos raros, anfotericina B, são indicadas. A testagem de suscetibilidade é imprescindível para guiar o tratamento adequado. Pacientes refratários ao fluconazol podem necessitar de doses aumentadas ou troca para outros antifúngicos, com monitorização rigorosa para evitar recaídas e gerenciar efeitos adversos. Conclusão: A candidíase esofágica requer uma abordagem terapêutica eficaz. O fluconazol permanece a primeira linha de tratamento, enquanto alternativas estão disponíveis para casos de resistência ou intolerância. A monitorização dos efeitos adversos e a consideração de terapia supressiva em casos recorrentes são essenciais. A continuidade da pesquisa e a adaptação das práticas clínicas são fundamentais para aprimorar o manejo desta condição.
