Published: February 2022

Objetivo: Analisar na literatura acerca da saúde mental dos idosos em tempos de pandemia. Revisão bibliográfica: O envelhecimento acarreta mudanças fisiológicas quem culminam no aumento da suscetibilidade às doenças que podem levar ao comprometimento das capacidades cognitivas e físicas. Nesse contexto, o isolamento social necessário para o controle da pandemia juntamente com o estresse, o luto, o medo da morte e do adoecimento, as perdas financeiras somados aos desafios inerentes do envelhecimento são fatores de risco para o adoecimento mental dos idosos em tempos de pandemia. Durante a pandemia da COVID-19, a composição domiciliar dos idosos um risco que independe da conformação. Idosos que habitam sozinhos morando sozinhos estão mais expostos à solidão. Já aqueles que residem com outras pessoas correm mais risco de serem contagiados. Os transtornos mais comuns, nesse contexto, são a depressão e os quadros ansiosos que podem levar ao suicídio. Considerações finais: Nesse sentido, torna-se essencial a integração social do idoso através do meio digital, a diminuição da exposição destes indivíduos às notícias da pandemia e o incentivo à pratica de atividades físicas mesmo que em domicílio e de maneira remota a fim de mitigar os efeitos psicológicos da pandemia nos idosos.

Authors: Ray Keval , Lantis II John
Published: February 2022

Open foot wounds resulting from diabetic Charcot foot are very problematic to treat secondary to the anatomic abnormalities as well as the profound neuropathy associated with this condition. With these complexities in mind, most prospective trials, to some degree, exclude these patients from inclusion. Total contact casting and tissue-based therapy, including skin grafts, can be helpful in closing these wounds. However, rapid recurrence is very common. The authors present one technique to help alleviate the pressure point(s) and provide more adequate coverage for these problematic wounds.

The world’s major sources of drinking water are groundwater particularly wells water. In the present study, the quality of the wells in the 10 villages nearby the city of Zakho were selected for investigation and their suitability for drinking purposes. All the well water samples were analyzed for 11 chemical and physical analysis including dissolved oxygen, total hardness, chloride, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH, sulfate, and four heavy metals, such as Cu, Fe, Pb, and Zn using standard methods. The results showed that the value of heavy metals in well water samples were in these ranges: Zn (0.027± 0.004 to 0.005 ± 0.007) mg/L; Fe (0.0109 ± 0.035 to 0.183 ± 0.061) mg/L; Cu (0.001 ± 0.022 to 0.025 ± 0.023) mg/L; Pb (0.045 ± 0.015 to 0.069 ± 0.096) mg/L. The range of physical and chemical parameters were; pH (7.1 to 8.3), EC (411 to1579 µS/cm), TDS (263 to 1010 mg/L), Total Alkalinity (287 to 584 mg/L), Total hardness (176 to 848 mg/L), Chloride (11.6 to 56.9 mg/L), calcium (80 to 673 mg/L), dissolved oxygen (6.1 to 8.7 mg/L), sulfate (10.3 to 42.5 mg/L) and temperature (17.0 to 23.4°C). The results were compared with international standards and showed that the mean values of total hardness and TDS in locations betas, Bezehe and Dolla are ranged from (827.13 ± 5.330), (544.25 ±3.178) ,(782.63 ± 3.257), (930.38 ± 3.545), (675.75± 3.639) ,( 996.25 ± 3.245) mg/L respectively, were found to be higher than WHO water standards, and unsuitable for drinking use. The results have proven the presence of heavy metal as especially lead, Zn, Cu, and Fe have been containing in the study area. Other parameters were within (WHO) drinking water standards. In conclusion, the other sites of well water sources of the Selevania region are suitable for drinking purposes.

Published: February 2022

One of the extreme efficient, important, and necessary means used to preserve the information and contents of the image through sending it over the Internet or network communication is image encryption. In this paper, a novel technology for images encryption has been proposed by using different methods. The proposed method consists of five stages. In the first stage, the original color image is divided into eight parts and shuffles it. The second stage separates the R, G, B matrix of the original image and then converts them into a binary code. Third stage generates secret keys by using singer map, where it can generate high pseudorandom sequences with high-speed performance. In the fourth stage, the logical XOR operator is applied to encrypt the image based on the three matrix and secret keys. Fifth stage is the process of decrypting which is the opposite of the encryption process. The suggested approach efficiency is validated via entropy, correlation, UACI and NPCR tests. Likewise, empirical outcomes and security test displayed that the proposed technology achieved secrecy and was capable of facing attacks and challenges.

Artificial Insemination (AI) has been widely used in pig reproduction because of its low price and high efficiency. Cryopreservation of sperm not only leads to a sharp decline in sperm motility, but had high price in pig reproduction. Therefore, most of farms stored pig sperm at 17°C. During the preservation of sperm, the accumulation of Reactive Oxygen (ROS) is the main reason for the decline of sperm motility. The aim of our study was to reduce the accumulation of ROS and improve sperm quality by adding oleuropein (OLE, CAS No. 32619- 42-4) during the storage. The sperm samples were collected and diluted with different concentrations of oleuropein (0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 μmol/L). Sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, sperm Total Antioxidant Capacity (T-AOC), Malondialdehyde (MDA) content, Catalase (CAT) activity and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) content of boar sperm were measured. The results suggested that adding 36μM of OLE samples significantly improved sperm quality during preservation at 17o C.

Plants, as sessile living organisms, are dependent on signalling mechanisms. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a highly conserved gene family that take a role in switching an extracellular signal into an intercellular signal. Ripening-related processes in non-climacteric fruits are not as well understood as in climacteric fruits. In this regard, studying MAPKs in grape berries during developmental stages may lead to a better understanding of physiological interactions during commercially relevant stages, such as pigmentation, ripening, and phenolics accumulation in the berries. Each MAPK cascade involves three or four MAPK proteins that facilitate signal transduction by phosphorylation of downstream targets. We examined the relative expression of VvMAP2Ks and VvMAP4Ks in berries at two-weekly intervals, from flowering to over-ripening. Expression analysis of 5 MAP2Ks and 7 MAP4Ks suggested that both gene families may play an active role in development of berries. Expression of VvMAP2K1 showed a correlation with abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene accumulation. Moreover, the expression pattern of VvMAP2K2 and VvMAP2K3 shows a correlation with auxin, and ABA accumulation respectively. Furthermore, VvMAP2K4 may have a role in berry size increment and halting stomatal development. In addition, VvMAP2K5 may play a role in floral organ development. VvMAP4Ks expression pattern moves them forward to be excellent markers for monitoring the effect of for instance climate changerelated stress on berry development.

The prolonged effect of no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) treatment on durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.), continuously grown in Southern Italy, has been evaluated in experimental fields for sixteen years (1994/95-2009/10) to ascertain whether the yields and quality of the grain as well as some soil characteristics had changed. The average grain yield in CT (2.70 ± 0.96 t ha-1) and NT (2.63 ± 0.74 t ha-1) treatment was not significant. CT treatment showed higher values of plant height and grain weight (74.2 cm and 43.2 g) than NT (71.0 cm and 41.8 g). Regarding to the semolina quality, the values of the gluten index and the dough strength (W parameter) as well as the protein content and the yellow index were not significantly different for the NT and CT treatments. As for soil moisture, the NT treatment stored in the soil profile, and over time, about 13% more water than the CT one. In the upper soil layer of the NT treatment the SOC value (16.0 ± 2.2 g kg-1) was 13.2% higher than CT one (14.2 ± 1.2 g kg-1) while the CT treatment (13.7 ± 0.5 g kg-1) showed in the lower soil layer a SOC value of 30.2% higher than the NT one (9.6 ± 1.9 g kg-1). Hence the prolonged no-tillage adoption in conditions of continuous durum wheat cultivation, even with slight losses in yield but not in the quality of grain or semolina, would seem sustainable.

The goal of this research is to verify the proposed nano-silver amalgam paste electrode (Ag-nano-SPE) method to compare with a spectrophotometric technique based on derivatization with potassium periodate (KIO4 ), 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine (DNP) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for the estimation of cefadroxil (CFDL) by square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry (SWAV). The different parameters of both methods were optimized in detail separately and then compared their efficiency, selectivity, sensitivity and applications. The SWAV produced a reduction peak with a precise definition at -0.160 V while measuring CFDL in 0.04 molL-1 Britton–Robinson buffer at pH 4, accumulation potential (0.5 V), accumulation time (10 sec), and with stirring rate of 200 rpm. Whereas, the CFDL was measured at 515 nm (λmax) by UVVisible spectrophotometer after the derivatization by using 1.5 mL of 0.5 mM DNP, 1.5 mL of 6.52 mM KIO4 and 0.5 mL of 10 M NaOH solution at room temperature. The linear response for CFDL was found using the SWAV and spectrophotometric techniques along a linear dynamic range from 0.033 - 0.304 and 0.051 - 1.376 µM, respectively. However, the precision, detection limit and quantification limit of SWAV for CFDL in the samples and standards significantly lower (p <0.01) as compared to spectrophotometric method. This indicates that the SWAV is more sensitive and selective than the spectrophotometric technique for regular CFDL analysis.

Background: Congenital Lamina Papyracea Dehiscence (LPD) is a described anatomical variant, knowledge of which is important to avoid misdiagnosis of orbital fractures, to indentify this variant prior to sinonasal instrumentation including Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and to improve interpretation when evaluating orbital and sinus pathologies such as infection and tumour infiltration. We aim to quantify the prevalence of LPD in children presenting for Computerized Tomography Scan (CT) of the paranasal sinuses. Methods: The database in the Radiology and Imaging System (RIS) for all CT scans of paranasal sinuses performed between 1/1/2019 and 31/1/2021 at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital (WCH), Adelaide, South Australia, were accessed for this study. Patients aged above 18 years were excluded. Subjects with repeat studies were only included once. Standardized CT imaging was performed on a GE machine. Images obtained were 0.6 mm thick and were subjected to reformatting during observer interpretations. Imaging review was performed by two readers who agreed on the findings. Prevalence was calculated by dividing the number of subjects with LPD by the total number of subjects included. Results: Using the above criteria 90 subjects were included in the study, and among these, one patient was noted to have congenital LPD. Conclusion: Congenital LPD is an uncommon anatomical variant and was found in 1.1% of children presenting for CT evaluation of the nasal sinuses in this study of a South Australian paediatric population.

Objective: Re opening immediately post major cardiac surgery is a problematic complication. Studies suggest bleeding and/or tamponade post cardiac surgery significantly affects in hospital mortality and length of stay. The primary objective of this study was to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who were reopened with those who were not reopened (Control) following cardiac surgery using propensity matched analysis. Methods: In total, 7960 patients underwent cardiac surgery. 539 (6.8%) were reopened immediately post cardiac surgery for either bleeding or tamponade. Patients were propensity score matched (525 reopened versus 525 control) by age, gender, operative priority, preoperative arrhythmia, Ejection Fraction, Euroscores, logistic Euroscores, type of cardiac operation, Body Mass Index, bypass time and cross clamp times. Data were collected prospectively and follow up obtained to date on all patients. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 22. Results: The overall rate of re exploration was 6.8%. After propensity score matching the baseline demographics, pre-operative and intra operative variables were comparable between the two groups. Therefore, patients with similar risk profiles were compared between RE and Control group. Significantly higher rate of post-operative arrhythmias, myocardial infarctions, renal complications, wound infections, cerebrovascular accidentsm, ulatnisdystem failure were observed in the RE group compared to Control group (p>0.001). RE group on average had longer ICU stay and total hospital stay (p>0.001). RE group had significantly higher 30-day mortality 23.4% (vs. 6.3% p<0.001) and long term mortality 37% (vs. 22.9% log rank <0.001) compared to Control group. However, patients who were discharged alive had a comparable long-term survival 82.4% vs. 84.9% between the RE and Control group (log rank <0.396). Significant predictors of reopening post cardiac operation were; poor left ventricular function, pre-operative Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP), and post-operative arrhythmias (p<0.001). However, reopening in itself was a significant predictor of in hospital mortality (p<0.001). Conclusion: Reopening for bleeding and/or Tamponade saves lives. However, in this propensity matched study we have shown that reopening is also associated with a significantly higher rate of post-operative complications; hospital stay, short- and long-term mortality compared to similar risk profile patients who were not reopened. Re opening post cardiac operation is an independent predictor of in hospital mortality. Meticulous haemostasis is required to reduce risk of bleeding/tamponade and prevent re opening post cardiac surgery.
Potential of phenolic compounds and their gut microbiota-derived metabolites to reduce microbial TMA formation: Application of an in vitro fermentation high throughput screening model
Authors: Iglesias-Carres Lisard , Krueger Emily , Herring Jacob , Tessem Jeffery , Neilson Andrew
Published: February 2022

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a pro-atherosclerotic product of dietary choline metabolism generated by a microbiome-host axis. The first step in this pathway is enzymatic metabolism of choline to trimethylamine (TMA) by the gut microbiota. This reaction could be targeted to reduce atherosclerosis risk. We aimed to evaluate potential inhibitory effects of select dietary phenolics and their relevant gut microbial metabolites on TMA production via a human ex vivo-in vitro fermentation model. Various phenolics inhibited choline use and TMA production. The most bioactive compounds tested (caffeic acid, catechin and epicatechin) reduced TMA-d9 formation (compared to control) by 57.5 ± 1.3% to 72.5 ± 0.4% at 8 h and preserved remaining choline-d9 concentrations by 194.1 ± 6.4% to 256.1 ± 6.3% compared to control conditions at 8 h. These inhibitory effects were achieved without altering cell respiration or cell growth. However, inhibitory effects decreased at late fermentation times, which suggest that these compounds delay choline metabolism rather than completely inhibiting TMA formation. Overall, caffeic acid, catechin and epicatechin were the most effective non-cytotoxic inhibitors of choline use and TMA production. Thus, these compounds are proposed as lead bioactives to test in vivo.

Published: February 2022

Chiral gamma-branched aliphatic amines are present in a large number of pharmaceuticals and natural products. However, enanti-oselective methods to access these compounds are scarce, and rely on the use of designed chiral transition-metal complexes. Herein, we have combined an organocatalytic method for the stereospecific isomerization of chiral allylic amines with a dia-stereoselective reduction of the chiral imine/enamine intermediates, leading to gamma-trifluoromethylated aliphatic amines with two noncontiguous stereogenic centers, in excellent yields and with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. This approach has been used with primary amine substrates. Additionally, a gram-scale reaction demonstrates the applicability of this syn-thetic procedure.

Asides from its robust nutritional profile, Psophocarpus tetragonolobus also possesses
other health-promoting attributes. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the
antinutrient content and antioxidant property of five different varieties of raw and cooked
P. tetragonolobus. The varieties studied included, the indigenous variety (designated
local) and four improved varieties (designated: T11, T31, T125, T154). Antinutrients like
phenolic, tannin, glycoside and phytate concentrations were determined using standard
methods while 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay was carried out to ascertain
the antioxidant activity. Phytate, cyanogenic glycosides and tannin levels were
significantly (p<0.05) reduced due to cooking in T11 variety. In T125 variety, tannin was
significantly lower in the cooked sample compared to the raw sample. However, the
phenolic content in the T125 variety increased significantly (p<0.05) due to cooking.
There was no significant difference in antioxidant activity between the raw and cooked
samples across the five varieties. However, the improved varieties showed higher
antioxidant activity compared to the local. Based on these results, the cooking process
reduced the phytate, cyanogenic glycosides and tannin levels in the T11 variety while only
the tannin level in T125 variety was significantly reduced. However, the antioxidant
activity of P. tetragonolobus was not significantly impacted by cooking.

Os Estados Nação passam por crises de soberania e de legitimidade frente ao capital privado, que cada vez mais impõe agendas e determina ajustes fiscais, limitando a atuação estatal, o que resulta no surgimento de profundas desigualdades sociais. Tais desequilíbrios, quando contextualizados no ambiente urbano, concretizam-se na falta de saneamento básico, moradias inadequadas localizadas em áreas ambientalmente frágeis, afrontando direitos fundamentais. A partir do método dedutivo, concluiu-se que diante do déficit democrático ocasionado pelas políticas neoliberais, a gestão democrática da cidade, uma das dimensões do direito à cidade, pode funcionar como um ponto de inflexão frente a esta problemática.

A partir do método hipotético-dedutivo e do marco teórico estabelecido pela Constituição brasileira de 1988 sob o paradigma do Estado Democrático de Direito, esta pesquisa visa a analisar o problema da sub-representação feminina na política e nas casas legislativas, a partir da análise transdisciplinar do conceito de “lugar de fala”, especialmente a partir da música “O que se cala”, de Douglas Germano, gravada por Elza Soares, no álbum “Deus é Mulher”, de 2018.
O dever de controle das empresas concessionárias de transporte coletivo sobre os usuários: inexistência de poder de polícia e necessidade de cooperação no enfrentamento da Pandemia de Covid-19.
Authors: REI JOSÉ ANIJAR FRAGOSO
Published: February 2022

As empresas concessionárias de transporte coletivo devem controlar as condutas dos usuários, impondo restrições quanto ao número de passageiros nos veículos e a observância de regras sanitárias.  Não há aqui exercício do poder de polícia, mas o cumprimento de regras específicas referentes ao uso de transporte coletivo pelas empresas que prestam os serviços e pelos usuários. Especialmente durante a pandemia de COVID-19, essas obrigações ganham  importância para evitar que os ônibus sejam vetores de contaminação do vírus. Isso não exclui a cooperação do Poder Público e a atuação dos agentes de trânsito e segurança, mesmo se sanções forem necessárias.

ANÁLISE DO PL 01-00204/2017 DO MUNICÍPIO DE SÃO PAULO SOB A ÓTICA DA AUTONOMIA PRIVADA E DA JUSTIÇA SOCIAL
Authors: Antunes Mourão Bruno Marcelo , Lana Júlia Caetano
Published: February 2022

O presente estudo propõe analisar o Projeto de Lei 01-00204/2017 do Município de São Paulo, de autoria do Vereador Isac Félix, do Partido Republicano, sob a ótica do consequencialismo da intervenção na autonomia privada. Tomando como base o paradigma do estado democrático de direito, os livres mercados integram uma nova racionalidade neoliberal que combina novas práticas, discursos e dispositivos jurídico-institucionais que estendem a lógica de mercado a toda a sociedade. Mas também a justiça social e o primado do trabalho são pilares constitucionais que devem ser assegurados a todos os cidadãos, inclusive aos egressos e oriundos do sistema prisional.

Através da análise e inédita justaposição de tais atos normativos, o objetivo do presente trabalho é explorar as novas possibilidades jurídicas de assinatura, registro e protesto eletrônicos dos títulos de crédito do agronegócio, orientando agentes do agronegócio, notários e registradores.
Evaluation of fracture toughness and Charpy V-notch test correlations for selected Al alloys
Authors: YILDIZ Rasid Ahmed
Published: February 2022

This research experimentally compared the correlations on the fracture toughness using Charpy V-notch tests. The fracture toughness tests are expensive, complex, and unreliable. Therefore, researchers developed correlations using Charpy V-notch tests to estimate fracture toughness, thereby structural integrity assessment. For the current work, nine different fracture toughness correlations were selected using the existing literature and most common Al alloys, including 2024-T4, 6061-T6, and 7075-T6, were chosen as testing materials.. Tensile tests were utilized to determine the deformation behavior of the tested alloys. Also, Charpy V-notch tests were carried out to obtain absorbed energy during the low impact conditions. Rupture strain, yield, and ultimate tensile strengths of the alloys were determined by tensile testing. Charpy V-notch test results revealed that the energy absorption ability of the 6061-T6 Al alloy is roughly two times higher than the 2024-T4 and roughly four times higher than the 7075-T6 Al alloy. The fracture toughness estimations resulted in a broad range of values in which the highest and lowest values were obtained when the equations of Li et al. and Roberts and Newton were employed, respectively. The experimentally obtained fracture toughness values attained from the literature were used to define the error of each correlation. The correlation developed by Lucan et al. yielded the lowest average error with an error percentage of 15.6%. Lastly, the ductile fracture of the 6061-T6 Al alloy tensile test specimens executed at the quasi-static conditions was attributed to having a higher fracture toughness.

Published: February 2022

This paper reveals the results of metallic-based nanoparticle's effect on the performance, emission, and vibration of a diesel engine. Various metal-based nanoparticles such as Nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate (Ni(NO3)2.6H2O), Silver nitrate (AgNO3), and Manganese (II) nitrate hydrate (Mn(NO3)2.xH2O) were chosen as fuel additives into diesel fuel and dosage with 25 and 50 ppm. In experimental tests, to identify the combined effect of silver nitrate on manganese and nickel, silver nitrate was chosen as a reference element in each mixture, thereby creating 4 different test samples. Engine tests were conducted in a single-cylinder diesel engine. The results revealed that values of specific fuel consumption, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and oxides of nitrogen emissions with the increase in the dosage level of nanoparticles into diesel fuel were reduced considerably for all test fuels. Also, vibration and sound pressure level features of the diesel engine were reduced with the increasing dosage of nanoparticle additives.

The main function of FVD as a damper is to absorb seismic energy and reduce the seismic force which is carried by structural elements and thus the building structures become more elastic. This study aims to determine the most effective number of floors for the performance of reinforced concrete frames structure using best position of FVD with three floors variations, which are 12, 16, and 20 floors. The dynamic time history analysis method is tested using ETABS v.15.2.2 software. The results showed that the 12-story structure generates the best structural response. The installation of FVD on a 12-story structure reduces the natural period of structure by 49,75%, increases the base shear force by 28,87%, and reduces the drift of structure due to response spectrum load as well as time history loads.Keyword: fluid viscous damper, time history methods, structural period, base shear, and drift

ABSTRAKPenelitian sebelumnya menemukan bahwa transportasi online menggantikan kebutuhan angkutan umum dan pribadi. Namun penelitian sebelumnya umumnya berfokus pada perjalanan sehari-hari, sedangkan investigasi pengaruh substitusi transportasi online pada perjalanan menuju simpul transportasi masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan eksplokrasi pengaruh substitusi pengguna transportasi online pada perjalanan menuju simpul transportasi di Kota Bandung. Model diskriminan digunakan pada data yang dikumpulkan dengan penyebaran kuesioner secara online kepada pengguna transportasi online. Deksripsi data menunjukkan terdapat tiga moda yang digunakan untuk perjalanan menuju simpul sebelum adanya moda transportasi online yaitu kendaraan pribadi, angkutan kota, dan bus/shuttle bus. Analisis juga menemukan bahwa saat ini jika angkutan online berhenti beroperasi, pengguna angkutan umum sebelumnya akan berpindah kepada angkutan pribadi. Substitusi dari angkutan umum ditemukan terjadi pada simpul transportasi udara.Kata kunci: substitusi, angkutan online, analisis diskriminan ABSTRACTPrevious research has found that the rise of online transportation replaces the need for public and private transportation. However, previous research has generally focused on daily commuting, whereas investigations on the effect of online transportation substitution on transport station trips are still limited. This study aims to explore the substitution effect of online transport in transport stations trips in Bandung City. The discriminant model is used in the data collected by distributing questionnaires online to online transportation users. The decriptive analysis show that there are three modes used to travel to the node before the existence of online transportation modes, namely private vehicles, paratransit (angkot), and buses/shuttle. The analysis also found that currently if online transportation stops operating, previous public transport users will switch to private transportation. The substitution of public transport is found to occur at air transportation nodes.Keywords: substitution, online transportation, discriminant analysis
