Research background. Açaí berry is rich in antioxidant compounds and is therefore
closely associated with beneficial health effects. In this study, we aim to investigate the potential of using Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 as a probiotic culture on açaí flan.
Experimental approach. The chemical composition, physicochemical and icrobiological
characteristics, and sensory acceptance during refrigerated storage (5 °C for 42 days) of flan were investigated. In addition, the consumer perception of the product was evaluated using word association when consumers were shown a photo of the product with or without the added ingredients accompanied with a brief description of the product.
Results and conclusions. The flan had a suitable chemical composition, mainly carbohydrates and proteins, probiotic viability reached 8 log CFU/g in the product and 4 log CFU/g after gastrointestinal simulation, typical açaí coloration, significant antioxidant activity and high sensory acceptability. The information about the ingredients and properties of the products increased the health value and positive feelings of the consumers towards the product.
Novelty and scientific contribution. Açaí flan has proven to be a suitable carrier for L. rhamnosus HN001 as a probiotic culture, further enhancing the characteristic beneficial properties of the fruit. Therefore, combining this information with marketing strategies that inform consumers about the benefits of the product can further improve its acceptance. As far as we know, this is the first study on açaí flan with added probiotic culture.

Published: January 2024

The European Pond Turtle (Emys orbicularis) is a widely distributed species in Menorca (Balearic Islands,western Mediterranean) and it likely was introduced in historical times. In this study, we evaluated sexual dimorphismand morphological variation of E. orbicularis on the island from a sample of 455 individuals captured at ten surveysites. In these individuals, we measured seven linear traits related to body size. In addition, we measured two shapedescriptors (carapace and plastron shape) and iris and plastral coloration. The results showed very pronounced sexualdimorphism, with females being larger than males and also having longer and broader plastra with higher carapaces.The site of capture had significant effects on carapace, plastral shape, and coloration. Both males and females had darkorlight-colored plastra, but some males had almost completely dark plastra (to 99% dark), whereas in females, themaximum extent of black plastra was lower (79%). The sexes also differed in iridal chromatic attributes, with femalesmore frequently having yellow and males having red or orange irises. However, this was not diagnostic of sexual identity,as 13% of females had red irises and 15% of males had yellow irises.

A Alfabetização em Nutrição como promotora da Educação Ambiental Crítica no Ensino Fundamental: uma articulação necessária
Authors: Fornazari Valéria Brumato Regina , Obara Ana Tiyomi
Published: January 2024

É inquestionável que a Alimentação e a Nutrição humana, enquanto conteúdos escolares, são de extrema importância, uma vez que objetivam promover o desenvolvimento humano e, também, formação cidadã, ao passo que tornam o aluno capaz de gerenciar e escolher os alimentos que irão consumir, a partir de uma reflexão crítica, de forma a impactar diretamente e decisivamente na saúde e qualidade de vida dos educandos dentro de uma perspectiva da sustentabilidade. Portanto, essa temática não pode se restringir a discutir apenas questões relativas à alimentação, pois a formação e perpetuação de hábitos alimentares saudáveis depende da compreensão holística do processo alimentar. Assim, esse trabalho objetivou desenvolver Oficinas Pedagógicas, com alunos do ensino fundamental II, de uma escola pública, para articular reflexões sobre a Alfabetização em Nutrição humana e a Educação Ambiental Crítica a partir da temática: “Como meu poder de escolha alimentar pode impactar na sociedade?”. Por meio dessa intervenção pedagógica foi possível averiguar que os alunos tem uma visão higienista acerca da alimentação humana, percebendo-a como um ato isolado, que impacta exclusivamente na própria saúde, evidenciando a necessidade e urgência de articulação entre a Educação Ambiental Crítica e a Alfabetização Nutricional na Educação básica.
Programação do despacho termoeólico por fluxo de potência ótimo estocástico com variáveis discretas
Authors: Souza Rafael Ramos de , Schimidt Marina , Balbo Antonio Roberto
Published: January 2024

Neste artigo são apresentados resultados para um modelo de fluxo de potência ótimo estocástico com variáveis discretas (FPOED) com a inserção de geradores eólicos para a geração de energia elétrica. A função objetivo do modelo de FPOED é minimizar o custo de geração de potência ativa no sistema. Este custo é composto por funções não lineares e não diferenciáveis que representam os geradores termelétricos devido ao efeito do carregamento de pontos de válvula e por funções integrais que representam os geradores eólicos. O modelo de FPOED é resolvido por meio de um método primal-dual de pontos interiores/exteriores barreira logarítmica modificada com procedimento previsor corretor e correção de inércia (BLM). O método é determinístico e diferentemente de métodos meta-heurísticos garante soluções ótimas locais e calcula o preço da energia gerada a partir das variáveis duais do problema. Para os resultados foi simulado um sistema IEEE 30 barras em uma cidade do nordeste do Brasil que apresenta grande variação da velocidade média do vento ao longo das 4 estações do ano. Os resultados mostram uma redução no custo de geração a partir da substituição de geradores termelétricos por geradores eólicos, cuja representação e inserção de potência eólica, incertas devido à velocidade do vento, são possíveis através da função de distribuição de probabilidade de Weibull. O artigo contribui com o Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável 7, “Energia limpa e acessível”, minimizando o custo total de geração de energia a partir de fontes renováveis relativas à energia eólica em sistemas elétricos de potência.

Published: January 2024

O comportamento de um agrotóxico no ambiente depende das propriedades físicas e químicas do meio. A migração dessas substâncias entre as matrizes ambientais depende das propriedades físico-químicas como pH e a constante de equilíbrio de ionização ácido ou base (pKa), onde definem o tempo de permanência dessas substâncias no ambiente, tendo em vista que pH mais ácido são mais propícios um tempo maior de permeância no ambiente.  Nesse contexto, a pesquisa teve como objetivo correlacionar os valores de pH, medidos nas amostras de águas coletadas em ambiente aquático superficial, canal de irrigação do Perímetro Irrigado tabuleiro de Russas (PITR), e subterrâneo no município de Russas – Ceará. As propriedades foram analisadas em quatro ciclos de coletas para os agrotóxicos:  Acefato, Aldicarbe, Ametrina, Dimetoato, Imidacloprido, Permetrina e Tebuconazol. Os valores de pKa dos agrotóxicos foram obtidos da International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), as medidas de pH foram realizadas in situ. O estudo mostrou que os resultados apresentam tendência ácida das amostras coletada nos períodos chuvosos, o que favorece a lixiviação de substâncias e um maior tempo de permanência no ambiente. Observa-se, ainda, que as águas do PITR apresentaram tendência básica, e se deve, possivelmente, pela presença de matéria orgânica ao longo do canal. Nesse estudo foi observado que as substâncias, Acefato e Tebuconazol, são ácidos fraco de intensidade moderada, que pode permanecer maior tempo no ambiente; já o Aldicarbe e a Ametrina são ácidos muito fracos com intensidade moderada.

Para a seleção dos artigos, foram utilizadas três palavras chaves combinadas e em inglês: percepção ambiental, preocupação ambiental e Covid-19. Os resultados mostraram que o ambiente urbano sustentável foi importante para o enfrentamento da pandemia, principalmente no período de isolamento social, no qual o contato com o espaço verde proporcionou aumento na resiliência urbana. Conclui-se que o fortalecimento da relação pessoa-ambiente e da responsabilidade socioambiental representam estratégia promissora para construir maior compromisso da sociedade com o ambiente após o enfrentamento da crise de covid-19.
A permacultura como referencial para adequação curricular para as escolas do campo jurisdicionadas a Diretoria de Ensino da Região de Mirante do Paranapanema/SP
Authors: Gonçalves Moacir , Okimoto Fernando Sérgio
Published: January 2024

A educação do campo é uma metodologia de educação que procura vincular o as disciplinas da Base Nacional Comum Curricular com as especificidades dos saberes e vivências da comunidade que reside no meio rural, promovendo a sua emancipação.  Para que ela ocorra é necessária toda uma mudança nas escolas instaladas na zona rural, principalmente em seus Projetos Político Pedagógicos que deve refletir a identidade local.  As políticas públicas de educação brasileira gestadas e implementadas nos últimos anos tanto em nível federal, quanto estadual, fruto de uma visão neoliberal, acabaram direcionando o ensino nas escolas a currículos engessados, pouca autonomia do professor e desconexão do que é ensinado à vivência dos alunos.   Consequentemente tornou muito difícil a metamorfose das escolas rurais para escolas do campo.  Na área atendida pela Diretoria de Ensino da Região de Mirante do Paranapanema existe onze escolas instaladas em projetos de assentamentos rurais que seguem a política educacional tradicional.    Estas escolas podem cumprir melhor o seu papel de agente de promoção social se adotasse as premissas da educação do campo.  A permacultura, ao trabalhar temas de todas as áreas do conhecimento humano com objetivos de realizar uma relação sustentável entre homem e natureza, pode ser o eixo integrador para a transformação destas escolas. Os desafios são enormes, porém a disseminação do conhecimento acerca dos referenciais da educação do campo e da permacultura podem ser o elemento disparador da mobilização das comunidades rural e escolar para transformação de suas escolas.

Dimensionality reduction of rotor fault dataset based on joint embedding of multi-class graphs
Authors: Zhang Yongfei , Wang Jiaxuan , Zhao Rongzhen , Deng Linfeng
Published: January 2024

Traditional dimensionality reduction techniques usually rely on a single or a limited number of similar graphs for graph embedding, which limits their ability to extract more information about the internal structure of the data. To address this problem, this study proposes a rotor fault dataset dimensionality reduction algorithm based on multi-class graph joint embedding (MCGJE). The algorithm first overcomes the defect that the traditional feature space cannot take both local and global information into account by constructing local and global median feature line graphs; secondly, based on the graph embedding framework, the algorithm also constructs a hypergraph structure for inscribing complex multivariate relationships between high-dimensional data in the feature space, which in turn enables it to contain more fault information. Finally, we conducted two different rotor fault simulation experiments. The results show that the MCGJE-based algorithm has robust dimensionality reduction capability and can significantly improve the accuracy of fault identification.

Published: January 2024

Tool condition affects the tolerances and the energy consumption and hence needs to be monitored. Artificial intelligence based data-driven techniques for tool condition determination are proposed. Unfortunately, the data-driven techniques are data-hungry. This paper proposes a methodology for classification based on unsupervised learning using limited unlabeled training data. The work presents a multi-class classification problem for the tool condition monitoring. The principal component analysis (PCA) is employed for dimensionality reduction and the principal components (PCs) are used as input for classification using k-means clustering. New collected data is then projected on the PC space, and classified using the clusters from the training. The methodology has been applied for classification of tool faults in 6 classes. The use of limited input parameters from the user makes the method ideal for monitoring a large number of machines with minimal intervention. Furthermore, due to the small amount of data needed for the training, the method has the potential to be transferable.

Published: January 2024

Based on archival materials and an analysis of pedagogical literature, the author studied the main life milestones and analyzed the leading activities of Ilya Shrag, a Ukrainian public, the political and cultural figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The article reveals the peculiarities of Illya Shrag's educational activities and pedagogical views regarding the development of Ukrainian education in the conditions of the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, in particular, his conviction about the necessity and possibility of the functioning of a native-language Ukrainian school. The report he gave at the meeting of the commission of the Chernihiv provincial zemstvo assembly on February 24, 1884, was analyzed. The procedure for conducting the meeting of the commission of the Chernihiv provincial zemstvo assembly, the reaction of the members of the assembly to the report heard, and the peculiarities of decision-making were studied. I. Shrag drew the attention of those present to the activities of the provincial zemstvo in measures to improve the organization of primary public education, namely: activation of special supervision of schools by the zemstvo; conducting repetitive classes to promote the strength of knowledge acquired by students, creating school libraries; promoting the development of pedagogical knowledge and experience of national teachers on short-term pedagogical courses. In the report, the educator defended the opinion about the need to teach in the Ukrainian school in the native language, the publication of Ukrainian textbooks and books for reading, and the provision of school library funds with Ukrainian-language literature. He argued his position by referring to the pedagogical views of M. Wessel, A. Disterweg, and K. Ushinsky. Further study and promotion of Illya Shrag's pedagogical ideas regarding increasing the accessibility and democratization of education, the introduction of general primary education, as well as regarding the widespread Ukrainization of the educational process is needed.

BACKGROUND: All over the world, total joint replacement is one of the most popular surgical technologies due to the widespread prevalence of joint diseases, as well as injuries. There is no doubt that rehabilitation is a necessary component of the complex treatment of the patient and plays an important role in the postoperative period. Physiotherapeutic methods of treatment occupy a special place in rehabilitation programs. Cryotherapy has been used for many years in the pathology of the musculoskeletal system and has proven its clinical effectiveness due to analgesic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant effects, which gives grounds for its use after surgical interventions.
AIM: Based on the above, the purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness and rationale for the use of cryotherapy in combination with therapeutic gymnastics procedures in patients after total knee replacement for the third the rehabilitation stage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 60 patients after total knee replacement at the age of 57 to 79 years. All patients were admitted for outpatient treatment 3 months after surgery and were divided into 2 groups. The first group consisted of 30 patients who had therapeutic gymnastics classes with a physical therapy instructor (physical therapy), for a course of 10 daily procedures. The second group consisted of 30 patients who underwent a comprehensive rehabilitation program, including therapeutic gymnastics and air cryotherapy, for a course of 10 daily procedures.
RESULTS: In all patients, before the start of the rehabilitation course, the intensity of the pain syndrome according to VAS averaged 4.5±0.6 points; according to the 10-meter walking test, a decrease in the level of mobility was detected, in most patients, the sum of the points on the two parts of the KSS scale averaged 62.8±4.5; according to the results of laser Doppler flowmetry, 44% of the subjects revealed spastic, and in 56% ― spastic-stagnant type of microcirculation. After a course of complex rehabilitation treatment, a significantly more significant reduction in pain syndrome (according to VAS) and microcirculatory disorders (according to laser Doppler flowmetry), improvement in the function of the operated joint (according to the KSS scale) was revealed, compared with the use of physical therapy as a monomethod, which contributed to an increase in the level of mobility of patients.
CONCLUSION: The combined use of air cryotherapy and therapeutic gymnastics in patients after total knee replacement contributes to the formation of pronounced analgesic, anti-inflammatory and vasocorrecting effects, which allowed to increase the effectiveness of treatment at the 3rd stage of rehabilitation treatment.

The new coronovirus infection affects not only physical health, but also causes significant damage to the mental state of the population. Therefore, the stage of rehabilitation treatment makes it necessary to combine various treatment methods for the most effective restoration of the quality of life and psychological comfort of patients.
This article presents clinical observations as part of a study of rehabilitation methods after a new coronavirus infection brought on the basis of Sechenov University and Medsi Clinical Hospital No. 1. A distinctive feature of rehabilitation was the use of hypoxic/hyperoxy therapy in combination with the main course of rehabilitation treatment and the SIMONA 111 integrated monitoring system as a method of control, treatment analysis and a way of visual interaction with patients. This approach allowed not only to obtain objective data on the dynamics of treatment, but also to establish better contact with the patient.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: In modern medicine, among the main indicators of the effectiveness of therapeutic measures, the quality of life of the patient is singled out, which allows determining the degree of recovery of physical and mental health after treatment of acute conditions.
AIM: to evaluate the effectiveness of complex balneopeloid and enzyme therapy with longidase according to the monitoring of the quality of life of the patients suffering from chronic bacterial prostatitis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: There have been observed 54 patients with chronic prostatitis. They were divided into 2 groups by simple randomization: in the comparison group (n=26) the patients were prescribed exercise therapy, internal and external administration of mineral water of Zheleznovodsk type, peloidotherapy with silt sulfide mud topically, antibiotic therapy with ceftriaxone, phytomicroclysters; in the main group (n=28), the patients additionally underwent antibiotic and enzyme therapy by peripheral indirect lymphotropic therapy. The efficiency was assessed using validated Quality of Life questionnaires: Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Scale (NIH-CPS) and SF-36 General Health Questionnaire (Social Functioning-36).
RESULTS: The analysis of the clinical effect of the new treatment technology revealed its advantage over the standardized therapy, which is proven by the monitoring of QoL indicators for 1 year after the spa treatment: recovery of QoL in the main group immediately after the treatment occurred by 59.7% (p 0.01), 6 months later ― by 72.7% (p 0.01), with a slight decrease in the rate in 12 months ― by 64.9% (p 0.01). The dynamics of physical and mental health indicators on the SF-36 scale was also observed with the same degree of confidence: compared with the baseline, the average improvement was 25.5% (p 0.01), 33.6% (p 0.01) and 27.3% (p 0.01) respectively. In the comparison group, the dynamics of indicators for all NIH-CPSI and SF-36 scales was also significant, but lower than similar indicators in the main group by 23–25% on average (p 0.01) and 12–15%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicate the high effectiveness of complex balneopeloid and lymphotropic therapy with the patients suffering from chronic prostatitis at the stage of spa treatment.

The realities of the new times determine the need to update approaches to the organisation and The realities of the new times determine the need to actualise approaches to the organisation and conduct of rehabilitation measures for military personnel and civilians injured during combat operations.
The article presents a review of modern views on the peculiarities of combat trauma and the dynamics of the nature and type of injuries over the past few decades, the basic principles of comprehensive rehabilitation of the wounded, including medical, professional and socio-psychological aspects. The importance of personalisation of rehabilitation programmes, use of multidisciplinary approach, involvement of the patient's family in the process is reflected. The main disorders arising in persons with combat trauma are characterised in the categories of the International Classification of Functioning. The analysis of the use of modern means and methods of medical rehabilitation: physical training with the use of virtual reality environment and innovative technologies based on the principle of biofeedback, robotic mechanotherapy, hydrokinesiotherapy and other physiotherapeutic methods, the role of remote telemedicine technologies in controlling the effectiveness and safety of the rehabilitation process is highlighted.
An integrated approach to rehabilitation, taking into account modern peculiarities of combat trauma, makes it possible to ensure maximum effectiveness of rehabilitation measures, reduce the number of persons with persistent dysfunctions, prevent psycho-emotional disorders and promote maximum social and professional integration of the wounded.

Background: Clinical manifestations of Kimmerle’s anomaly are detected in 5.5 to 20% of patients. The main reason for the development of symptoms is prolonged compression of the V3 (atlantic) segment of the vertebral artery in the bone ring as a result of the atlantooccipital membrane’s exostosis. To date, the final tactics for treating patients with Kimmerle’s anomaly has not been determined. The effectiveness of conservative methods of therapy does not exceed 40%. The aim Of this study was to evaluate the results of a minimally invasive surgical treatment of patients with symptomatic Kimmerle’s anomaly using video endoscopic assistance. Methods: In the period from 2020 to 2022, 15 patients were operated on. The indication for the surgical treatment was the lack of the conservative therapy’s effect for 1 year from the onset of the disease, aggravation of the disease symptoms, a decrease in the blood flow through the vertebral artery at the Kimmerle’s anomaly side when turning the head. The vertebral artery decompression was performed using video endoscopy through a posterior median approach in two (13%) patients and through a paravertebral intermuscular approach (4 cm incision in the occipitocervical region in the projection of the Kimmerle’s anomaly) in thirteen (87%) patients. Results: The outcome of the disease was assessed at the time of discharge from the hospital, as well as in 6 and in 12 months after the operation. Following the surgical treatment, all the patients showed the complete regression of symptoms and restoration of the blood flow velocities in the vertebral artery. There were no complications after the operation. The use of video endoscopy made it possible to reduce the size of the surgical wound from 12 cm to 4 cm, which contributed to a decrease in the intensity of pain in the postoperative period, early activation and a decrease in the duration of the inpatient treatment. Conclusion: With the proper selection of patients with Kimmerle’s anomaly, decompression of the V3 segment of the VA using video endoscopy is a safe and effective method of treatment.

The aim of the study is to analyze the data of the modern foreign and domestic literature on intestinal fistulas, including high unformed small intestinal fistulas, their classification, treatment methods, drainage methods, their types and effectiveness. Research method: the search in the elibrary, CyberLeninka, PubMed and SpringerLink databases. Intestinal fistulas, often found in the surgical practice, appear due to a number of reasons (errors in the surgical technique and conservative treatment, tactical errors, the presence of severe concomitant diseases, etc.) and present a high-risk factor for death. Clinically, intestinal fistulas can differ depending on their localization, etiology, morphology, function, complications, etc., that causes certain difficulties in choosing the treatment method and reduces its success. Special attention is paid to high unformed small intestinal fistulas, which are accompanied by pronounced impairment of the body's homeostasis system, on the one hand, and the need for a multi-stage treatment, on the other hand. The treatment regimen for high unformed small intestinal fistulas includes both conservative and surgical approaches. The conservative method of treatment includes an intensive infusion therapy, control of the source of infectious complications, reduction of irretrievable losses, nutritional therapy, and a local treatment, which consists in protecting the tissues from the aggressive intestinal content and various methods of adequate drainage of the wound. The drainage methods used for intestinal fistulas differ depending on the principle of their operation, the surgical drain material, the configuration of the wound, the fistula morphology, the number of fistulas, etc. Active and vacuum methods seem to be used most frequently and efficiently in the local treatment of high unformed small intestinal fistulas. So far, according to the (very limited) modern literature, there has been a diversity in the effectiveness of the drainage treatment approaches in patients with high unformed small intestinal fistulas, thus, further studies are needed to study and evaluate their pathogenetic role and effectiveness.

Background: Among the bacteria that affect the central nervous system, Listeria monocytogenes (facultative intracellular bacterium) is one of the most lethal to humans and animals. Listeriosis affects domestic and farm animals (pigs, small and large cattle, horses, rabbits, less often cats and dogs), as well as domestic and ornamental birds (geese, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigeons, parrots and canaries). L. monocytogenes can be detected in fish and seafood (shrimp). The source of L. monocytogenes infection are animals in which the disease may manifest itself or occur in erased and asymptomatic forms followed by the transition to a long-term carriage. This pathogen is found throughout the world in foodstuffs, and most cases of infection occur through the ingestion of contaminated food. Particularly susceptible to the disease are embryos, newborns, the elderly and individuals with immunodeficiencies and chronic diseases. L. monocytogenes can cause intracranial hemorrhage, meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and rhombencephalitis. Clinical case description: This paper presents our own clinical observation of the development of severe listeriosis meningoencephalitis in a 47 year-old patient against the background of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). We describe the details of the clinical presentation, the treatment and the favorable outcome in our patient. Conclusion: Invasive listeriosis is a rare disease. The knowledge about the clinical manifestations of this disease is needed not only for epidemiologists and infectious disease specialists, but also for physicians of other specialties. Untimely diagnosis and inadequate antibacterial therapy are dangerous leading to severe somatic and neurological complications with a lethal outcome or disability both in children and adult persons.
Effects of disease-modifying drugs in multiple sclerosis on the gut microbiome
Authors: Omarova Мadina А. , Boyko Аleksey N.
Published: January 2024

Over the past decade, the scientific research has shown that the community of microorganisms that inhabit the gut, known as the gut microbiota, is closely linked to human health and disease, in part as a result of its influence on the systemic immune responses. The accumulated evidence suggests that these effects on the immune system are significant in neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and that modulation of the gut microbiota may be a potential therapeutic target in these conditions. In recent years, more and more studies have been appearing devoted to the role of microbiota in the development of various pathological processes in the central nervous system, including multiple sclerosis, through the brain-gut axis. In this regard, the question of finding ways to influence the microbiome is interesting. In addition to the existing attempts through the use of probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation, of particular interest is the search for other ways of influencing the microbiome, including the effect of multiple sclerosis modifying therapies on the microbiota’s composition. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence investigating the effects of disease-modifying treatment on the gut microbiome.
