Optimization of hyperspectral systems of fluorescent testing of food products
Authors: Kasumov V.A. , Alieva K.J.
Published: May 2023

Spectral analysis – based on the study of the emission spectra of various substances. Samples of the analyzed substance are “burned” under certain conditions, the substance evaporates and dissonates into atoms, which, when excited, give a spectrum. The light emitted in this case, passing through the glass prism of the spectroscope, is decomposed into its constituent parts (different light) and the experimenter observes a number of different lines (linear spectrum). The lines judge the presence of a particular element in the analyzed product.

The higher the intensity of the lines, the higher the concentration of the substance. With the help of spectrographs, it is possible to photograph the radiation and, by the degree of blackening of the lines on the photographic plate, determine the concentration of a substance. The method is highly sensitive; impurities of substances determine up to 0.0001% – decimal fractions of a percent. The method is used to determine the mineral composition of products of plant and animal origin.

Luminescence is the glow of atoms, ions, molecules, and more complex particles of matter, which occurs as a result of the transition of electrons in them upon returning from an excited state to a normal one. To transfer particles to an excited state, the definition of the amount of energy is summed up. Glow or part of the energy is released in the form of luminescence quanta. This method is used to determine vitamins, proteins, and fats in milk, to determine the freshness of meat and fish and various spoilage of vegetables, fruits, to detect preservatives, drugs, carcinogens, pesticides in food products.

When assessing the quality of food products, great importance is given to their consistency. There are rheological methods for assessing consistency – the primary assessment of food products. Rheology studies the structural and mechanical properties of materials (deformation). Rheological properties include viscosity, elasticity, elasticity, and strength.

Perhaps the emergence of new, more advanced methods that will become widespread, i.e., each consumer will have the opportunity to determine the quality of the product with the help of a mini device (such as a radioactive background meter, etc.) when buying.

Authors: Мелешко М.А. , Ракицький В.А.
Published: May 2023

Подано аналіз технічних можливостей використання системи базисних PL-функцій для представлення інформації в комп’ютерних системах та мережених засобах інформації. Проведено порівняльний аналіз з системою базисних функцій Шаудера. Показано, що при однакових параметрах розкладу сигналу при обчисленні коефіцієнтів отримуємо еквівалентні результати. При використанні даних базисних функцій, для стиснення інформації необхідно враховувати, що функції Шаудера локальні на інтервалі [0,T], а PL-функції – неперервні. На основі попередніх експериментальних досліджень надані рекомендації щодо використання PL-функцій для цифрової обробки, наприклад, аудіо інформації.

Authors: Гнатюк С.О. , Сидоренко В.М. , Березовий І.Р. , Сидоренко С.Ю. , Тараненко К.О.
Published: May 2023

Сьогодні критичні інфраструктури націй суттєво відрізняються один від одного у різних країнах, проте безперечним об’єднуючим фактором є тісний взаємоз’язок та складна взаємозалежність від безлічі інформаційно-комунікаційні технології. Безпека нашої країни, а також якість життя її громадян залежить від безперервної надійної роботи комплексу складних взаємозалежних інфраструктур, включаючи транспорт, електроенергію, нафту, газ, телекомунікації та аварійно-рятувальні служби. А збій в одній інфраструктурі може швидко та суттєво впливати на іншу. Сучасні інфраструктури майже повністю залежать від нових інформаційних технологій та інтернету, і часто для надійної роботи яких необхідно бути підключеними одна до одної через електронні, інформаційні зв'язки. І поки ці технології дозволяють досягти величезних приростів у ефективності, вони також створюють нові вразливі місця. Таким чином виникає необхідність розробки новим моделей та методів для забезпечення стабільного функціонування взаємозалежних критичних інфраструктур (ВКІ). У роботі представлено модель оцінювання ефективності функціонування систем ІБ, яка за рахунок представлення ВКІ у вигляді марківських та напівмарківських процесів, введення змін в простір станів та матриці переходів, дозволяє оптимізувати витрати та інвестиції у систему ІБ при одночасному забезпеченні заданого рівня її безпеки. Крім того, було проведено експериментальне дослідження запропонованої моделі. Використання даної моделі, дозволяє комплексно оцінювати основні показники інвестування в забезпечення безпеки ВКІ держави, з урахуванням бюджетних обмежень на загальні понесені витрати.
Метод підвищення надійності вимірювань за допомогою координатно вимірювальної руки в режимі реального часу
Authors: Квасніков В.П. , Катаєв Д.А. , Квашук Д.М.
Published: May 2023

У статті розглянуто поняття надійності вимірювання, де для кожної вимірної величини можна визначити інтервал форми та розташування поверхонь. Якщо міра отриманої величини потрапляє в цей інтервал, то вона вважається надійною. У статті  також розглянуто імовірнісні ризики вимірювань, які пов'язані з наявністю джерел систематичних похибок вимірювання. Для розподілених систем, таких як КВР, рекомендується діагностичний підхід на основі резервування на основі математичних моделей. У статті також зазначено, що систематичні похибки ніколи не можуть бути повністю компенсовані. Розподілені системи досить вразливі, але можуть бути успішно захищені відповідними інструментами діагностики. Доведено що онлайн діагностика, представлена в статті, дозволяє контролювати надійність вимірювань КВР в режимі реального часу на основі деяких статистичних тестів та може бути застосовані до будь-якої розподіленої системи.
Удосконалення методу вимірювання електроенергії цифровим лічильником трансформаторного підключення
Authors: Ларін В.Ю. , Філоненко С.Ф. , Стахова А.П.
Published: May 2023

Об'єктом дослідження є процес вимірювання електроенергії цифровим лічильником. Метою дослідження є підвищення точності обліку електроенергії цифровим лічильником трансформаторного підключення за рахунок удосконалення методу вимірювання. В результаті досліджень удосконалено метод вимірювання електроенергії цифровим лічильником трансформаторного підключення. Метод передбачає вимірювання миттєвих значень напруги та струму мережі вимірювальними трансформаторами, масштабування одержаних сигналів, багаторазове аналого-цифрове перетворення через фіксований інтервал дискретизації, обчислення дискретизованих значень ортогональних проекцій обертових векторів, гальмування векторів. На основі дискретизованих значень проекцій нерухомих векторів напруги та струму обчислюються складові повної потужності. Чисельне інтегрування за часом дає змогу одержати оцінки спожитої активної та реактивної енергії. Метод відрізняється від відомих відсутністю необхідності обчислення середньоквадратичних значень напруг та струмів протягом періоду. За рахунок цього зменшується кількість операцій чисельного інтегрування, що знижує невизначеність вимірювання та підвищує точність. До переваг такого методу слід віднести завадозахищеність та нечутливість до коливань мережевої напруги. Застосування запропонованого методу дозволить знизити невизначеність вимірювань та підвищити точність фінансових розрахунків за електроенергію.
Spatial Dynamics of the Population of Small Towns in the Siberian Regions
Authors: Ippolitova Nina A.
Published: May 2023

The article considers the main results of the dynamics of the population of small towns in the regions of Eastern Siberia for more than 30 years. Based on the analysis of statistical data, the main groups of small towns were identified by population change, as well as by the leading economic function. When analyzing the dynamics of the population of small towns, four groups were identified according to the dynamics of population change. The study confirms that in recent years there has been a decrease in the population in small towns, which leads to the “washout” of some small towns from the settlement system. There is also an increase in the structure of small towns “super small” (up to 10 thousand people), which indicates the thinning of the framework of urban settlement in Eastern Siberia.

Published: May 2023

The published text is a lecture that was read by the author in 1992 for students of the Institute for Advanced Training of Teachers of Social Sciences at the Rostov State University, and then published as a separate brochure. The problems of the social structure, its explicit and hidden elements, elites and pressure groups, cliques, mafias and kinship and compatriot ties are considered. Two facts serve as the basis for the republication: the ideas presented in the 1992 lecture were developed by colleagues and led to the qualification of the modern political order in Russia as a clickocratic one; the author is still being asked to send material from thirty years ago.
Lessons from Election Marketing During the Pandemic. The Case of Pro Romania Party
Authors: Marina Alin Constantin , Marcu Laura
Published: May 2023

The article addresses the issue of electoral marketing communication in the context of the medical crises caused by SARS-COV-2 virus. The declaration of pandemic has led, in all countries, to the adoption of restrictive measures aimed at limiting the spread of the virus. These measures have affected all spheres of economic and political life, including the electoral field. In this context, the political parties had to adapt to the multiple constraints imposed on the election campaign, but also to the tense context generated by the expectations and dissatisfaction of voters. The paper presents the context (legislative, political, medical) in which the parliamentary elections in Romania took place in 2020 and analyzes in detail the situation of one of the parties which, although credited with safe chances of entering parliament, failed to obtain minimum threshold in elections. The research is based on the case study method and addresses the entire electoral process of the analyzed party, from the elaboration of the campaign strategy, to the concrete aspects of implementation. Particular attention is paid to the means of electoral communication used and which in this campaign, tipped the scale in favour of the online, indicating the trend towards which electoral communication is heading in the case of Romania as well.

No se puede entender la historia del pensamiento geográfico brasileño del siglo XIX sin tener en cuenta la obra del médico, geógrafo y diplomático Duarte da Ponte Ribeiro. Sus viajes y sus estudios fueron fundamentales para que el entonces imperio del Brasil definiera sus fronteras. Muchos de sus informes y recopilaciones como diplomático, que hoy se conservan en el archivo histórico del Palacio de Itamaraty, en Brasilia (Archivo Duarte Da Ponte Ribeiro, 1538-1899), dan cuenta de ello, así como sus estudios geográficos que pueden ser consultados en la Biblioteca Nacional de Río de Janeiro
Los valores éticos fundamentales en la formación de la persona
Authors: Vargas Rómulo
Published: May 2023

Las nuevas tecnologías pueden contribuir a mejorar la enseñanza-aprendizaje a un sector de la sociedad; pero el acceso a estos nuevos. instrumentos va a determinar la existencia de profundas desigualdades en la educación. Así, existirán de un lado el grupo de los que tienen la oportunidad de contar con modernos aparatos, y el de los que no pueden tenerlos. Esta realidad social actual provoca que la mayor parte de hombres que cuentan co.n acceso a la tecnología, lleguen a discriminar a otros volviéndose egoístas, es decir, carentes de calidad humana. Una de las alternativas para buscar la calidad humana -a la par del mejoramiento en la calidad de la educación con el empleo de la moderna tecnología- , sería la formación de la persona en los valores éticos fundamentales.
Filosofía del desarrollo y ética ecológica
Authors: Gómez Luis
Published: May 2023

Mucho se ha dicho sobre el desarrollo. Hay posiciones encontradas que van desde un radical pesimismo hasta esperanzadores optimismos. Así, el desarrollo entendido a la luz de los paradigmas como Estados Unidos o Japón, opuesto al subdesarrollo (término inventado por el presidente norteamericano Truman el 20 de enero de 1949 en un discurso lanzado ante el Congreso de ese país) está al borde del abismo. "Todo mundo se confunde. Por usar sin sentido crítico esta palabra sobrecargada, ya condenada a la extinción, se está transformando su agonía en una condición crónica. Han empezado a emanar todo género de pestes del cadáver insepulto del desarrollo. Ha llegado el tiempo de revelar su secreto y verlo en toda su desnudez." afirma Gustavo Esteva en el Diccionario del desarrollo editado por Wolfang Sachs
Génesis y desarrollo del concepto de espacio
Authors: Robles José Antonio
Published: May 2023

Mucho de lo que hoy nos parece obvio, no lo fue hace algunos siglos y nuestras oscuridades de hoy, serán las obviedades del mañana. Algo que cumple con estas características es nuestra noción contemporánea del espacio. Esta noción fue investigada desde muy diversos puntos de vista, epistémico; ontológico, desde la perspectiva de la filosofía natural e incluso desde una perspectiva teológico (lamentablemente, aquí no tendré tiempo - ni espacio- para tratar este aspecto del problema) y, por ello, sufrió múltiples modificaciones y precisiones, durante los primeros veintiún siglos de su existencia (a partir del siglo IV a.C., con las pr opuestas de Aristóteles), hasta llegar, en el siglo XVII, a cristalizarse en la noción de espacio absoluto que Isaac (aún no Sir Isaac) Newton 1 , plasmase en las páginas del escolio a la Df. 8 de sus monumentales Philosophiée naturalis principia mathematica de 16872 . Después de su obra magnífica, la física siguió avanzando, hasta llegar, 228 años después, a dar un nuevo giro, el que, en algún sentido, nos está haciendo recorrer caminos ya transitados y volver a considerar propuestas filosóficas, supuestamente ya superadas.

Authors: Maula Mohammad Afinil , Wibowo Achmad Teguh , Izzudin Muhammad Andik
Published: May 2023

Traffic accidents are caused by several factors, especially due to driver fatigue. To minimize accidents caused by human negligence, developing a prototype microsleep detection system to trigger an alarm is necessary. This research uses Histogram Oriented Gradient and Support Vector Machine methods to detect objects. The programming language used is Python, using the dataset from the Idlib face landmark as a marker in the face point area, which will then be calculated based on the eye aspect ratio. This system is implemented using video input captured using a webcam in real-time. The output of this system uses a buzzer to alert the driver. In this study, the test results were obtained well, carried out with 2 test scenarios with a distance of 40cm - 100cm and testing light levels of 33 lux to 226 lux. From these results, the accuracy results were obtained at 88% each.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Breastfeeding Migrant Mothers: A Scoping Review
Authors: Hirani Shela Akbar Ali , Lento Nicole
Published: May 2023

Introduction:

Breastfeeding is highly recommended to promote the physical and mental health of mothers and infants. Unfortunately, migrant mothers face many barriers to their breastfeeding practice and often suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to traumatic events during migration and their settlement in the host country. There is a lack of research on the interrelationship of breastfeeding, PTSD, and the migrant status of mothers. This review presents existing research in the field and provides recommendations to improve the breastfeeding practices of migrant women with PTSD.

Methods:

This scoping review was undertaken in consultation with the patient partners. After searching various databases, 116 articles were found. We reviewed and analyzed five articles that were relevant to migrant mothers, breastfeeding, and PTSD.

Findings:

Migrant mothers with PTSD face additional breastfeeding barriers in the host countries due to lack of support, pressure to assimilate, racial stigma, inequalities surrounding breastfeeding, lack of culturally sensitive care, language barrier, misinformation, the norm of formula feeding, and stress. Some recommendations include psychosocial interventions, creating private areas to breastfeed in public, reducing pressure for new mothers to return to work, training healthcare workers to be culturally competent, addressing societal stigma, educating migrant mothers on breastfeeding, and offering social support. Also, healthcare workers should take a warm approach, conduct safety assessments, educate themselves on PTSD, notice nonverbal cues, and employ multidisciplinary professionals and interpreters.

Conclusions:

While research shows that culturally competent healthcare workers, support, and education can aid with PTSD and breastfeeding, future research is needed surrounding the interconnectedness of PTSD, breastfeeding, and migrant mothers. Research on this unique population will allow for better support. Future research should employ patient partners in the development of novel interventions for breastfeeding migrant mothers with PTSD.
Eco-philosophy of Indian classical fables
Authors: Shanmugapriya Kumaravelu , Christopher G
Published: May 2023

Indian classical stories may be told simply, yet their ideas are profound. It helps to shape our society to validate cultural assumptions and beliefs. As the stories have a strong influence on the conceptual frameworks of the community, they can also alter the human understanding of the natural world. But in recent years, humans have distanced themselves from nature. The anthology of Panchatantra (Sanskrit language) and Jataka tales (Pali language) is offered in this study as a valuable discourse for developing ecological consciousness among the people which is suitable for both children and adult literature. Academic circles in India have adopted the environmental approach to literary works, which is an active field on the international stage. “Today, Eco Sophy is a large and multidisciplinary field of study that creates a broad spiritually-specific theory of the natural and social conditions of humans on Earth and in space”. Some writers have studied the representation of ecology in ancient and modern literature. Nevertheless, to the best of this applicant's knowledge, there has been no comparative research on the development of ecological consciousness in Panchatantra and Jataka stories.
On Wu Changshuo's(吴昌硕) seal book creation
Authors:   The Korean Society of Calligraphy, Liu Lei-Lei , Yuan Xiao-Peng
Published: May 2023

Wu Changshuo's seal book is very different from its predecessors in the use of pen, structure, sealing, ink, writing rhythm and other techniques, successfully shaping the new face of seal writing, and achieving great achievements, the reasons behind it should be many, first of all, he absorbed the calligraphy ideas of the stele calligraphy, took the golden stone, and advocated the simple and strong artistic style. Secondly, on the basis of fully learning from famous artists such as Deng Shiru(邓石如) and Yang Yisun(杨沂孙), he took “Shiguwen”(石鼓文) as the main object, and at the same time drew on a variety of book styles, integrated multiple arts, and constantly enriched his artistic practice. Third, use a very personal writing instrument to constantly strengthen your personal style. Through decades of hard work, it finally opened up another way outside the “Er Li” seal book, creating another peak of seal book art, which had a far-reaching impact on the development of calligraphy art in later generations.
吴昌硕的篆书在用笔、结构、章法、墨法、书写节奏等技法上都迥异于前人，成功地塑造了篆书的新面貌，取得了巨大的成就，其背后的原因应该是多方面的，首先，他吸收了碑派书法的书学思想，取法金石，推崇古朴雄强的艺术风格。其次，在充分学习邓石如、杨沂孙等名家的基础上，以≪石鼓文≫为主要取法对象，同时借鉴多种书体，融合多门艺术，不断丰富自己的艺术实践。再次，采用极具个人特色的书写工具，不断强化个人风格。通过几十年的努力，最终于“二李”篆书之外另辟蹊径，创造了篆书艺术的又一座高峰，对后世书法艺术的发展产生了深远的影响。

Authors: Sneha Santwana , Sen Shankhajit
Published: May 2023

In 2022, FINISH Mondial and the Sanitation Learning Hub conducted a participatory and immersive research study to understand ground realities and lived experiences of sanitation and hygiene access in Nandurbar district, Maharashtra and Darbhanga district, Bihar in India. The main objectives for the immersion were to identify challenges and barriers towards access to and use of sanitation and hygiene services within challenging contexts, capture community voices and find contextually rooted ways to identify enablers towards safe and equitable access to and use of sanitation and hygiene services in these areas; and inform FINISH programme design and support the development of human-centric strategies for improving access to sanitation hygiene services for marginalised and left-out communities, while strengthening gender equality and social inclusion (GESI). Key lessons learnt from the study included universal access to and use of toilets has not yet been achieved, and people affected by poverty and marginalisation remain excluded; existing toilets need retrofitting and maintenance to become usable; we need to consider context specific adaptations for programming for tough physical conditions such as flooding and drought; and caste-based inequality is prevalent with major implications for access to sanitation and hygiene services; and behaviour change programming remains relevant for these contexts.
Physiology, pharmacology and prospects for dipeptidilpeptidase-4 inhibitors use

Published: May 2023

Modern requirements for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) include not only achieving a glycemic control, but also reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular complications. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are inferior in the effectiveness to some other actively developing groups of hypoglycemic drugs (SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists); however, they seem relevant at the present time.

The aim of the study is to analyze the literature data on the therapeutic potential and results of the of DPP-4 inhibitors research.

Materials and methods. When searching for the review article materials, the abstracting databases of PubMed, Google Scholar and e-Library were used. The search was carried out on the publications for the period from 2006 to 2022, using the following keywords: DPP-4 inhibitors; glucagonlike peptide-1 (GLP-1); glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP); sitagliptin, and other drugs.

Results. DPP-4 belongs to the serine proteases family and is involved in the degradation of various chemokines and peptide hormones, including incretins secreted by intestinal L- and K-cells – GLP-1 and GIP. They regulate a postprandial insulin secretion and a β-cell function, modulate a fasting and postprandial glucagon secretion, regulate the eating behavior and have many pleiotropic (immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, etc.) effects. DPP-4 inhibitors reduce an enzyme activity by 70–90%, increasing plasma incretin levels by 2–4 times and have been used to treat DM2 since 2006. Now there are 13 DPP-4 inhibitors on the market in different countries, differing primarily in pharmacokinetic parameters. They are actively used in the combination therapy for type 2 diabetes, increasing the glycemic control effectiveness without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. The evidence is emerging about the therapeutic potential of DPP-4 inhibitors in COVID-19.

Conclusion. A peroral form, an ability to create effective combinations with other hypoglycemic drugs without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia, the pleiotropic effects of DPP-4 inhibitors, make this group relevant at the present time.
Species Distribution Modelling Using Bioclimatic Variables on Endangered Endemic Species (Bubalus depressicornis and Bubalus quarlesi)
Authors: Aldiansyah Septianto , Wahid Khalil Abdul
Published: May 2023

Sulawesi Island is an island located in the Wallacea area. Most of the fauna on the island of Sulawesi is a transitional fauna from Australia and Asia. This study aims to model the potential distribution of the species Bubalus depressicornis and Bubalus quarlesi using famous models in the present and in the future as a result of climate change phenomena throughout the island of Sulawesi and beyond their natural habitat. The parameters used are bioclimatic variables and in-situ presence data. The method used is Maximum Entropy by comparing the GLM, SVM, and RF algorithms. The model is evaluated with reference to the values of AUC, COR, TSS, Deviance, and observation data. The RF model is quite good in modeling the distribution of B. depressicornis and B. quarlesi species with AUC values of 0.92 and 1, COR values of 0.59 and 0.84, TSS values of 0.87 and 1, and Deviance values of 0.37 and 0.08, respectively, while the results of data observations show values of 80% and 84%. B. depressicornis was most affected by bio14=0.665, while B. quarlesi was most affected by bio2=0.525, which means that this endemic species is suitable to live in a tropical climate with a warm and wet climate throughout the year, where the difference in temperature at night and during the day is very large. In the future, B. depressicornis and B. quarlesi are estimated to be compatible in an area of 143,281.78 km2 (81%) and 136,892.89 km2 (77%) of the Sulawesi.

Emergency Response Demand and Supply: A GIS-Based Network Analysis for Fire Station’s Service Coverage Delineation in Kano Metropolis, Nigeria
Authors: Yunus Sulaiman , Falola Julius Afolabi , Jaro Ibrahim Musa
Published: May 2023

Inadequate fire emergency response infrastructure and a lack of defined service coverage remain key barriers to timely fire disaster response. This study is applied research which employed geospatial techniques and aimed at examining fire disaster emergency response demand and supply relationships with the view to delineating service coverage and locating more facilities for optimum coverage in Kano metropolis. Locations of the existing fire stations and fire incidents (2009-2019) were gathered through GPS surveying. Network data set were generated. Nearest Neighbor and Network Analysis (origin-destination, service coverage and location-allocation) were conducted to determine emergency response demand and supply relationships, service coverage area delineation and identifying best site for allocating new facilities within the metropolis respectively. It was found that no clearly defined service coverage exist as emergency response supply takes more than 4-8 times the NFPA travel standard, and with a great deal of overlapping response patterns. New service coverage areas were proposed and best sites for 8 firefighting facilities identified for optimum coverage. It is concluded that emergency fire disaster response demand and supply relationships within Kano metropolis is imbalanced, with extensive recurrent demand especially within the core area served by overstretched and inefficient response supply. This, therefore, implies continuous exposure of lives and properties to the menace of fire disaster in Kano metropolis.

Introduction: Obesity is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in childhood, being an important public health issue. Excessive weight has been associated with autonomic dysfunction but the evidence in children is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of overweight and obesity on the autonomic nervous system activity, in children.Material and Methods: Data from a cross-sectional study of 1602 children, aged 7 to 12 years, was used and 858 children were included in the analysis. Body mass index was calculated and classified according to criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). Body composition was characterized by bioelectrical impedance. Linear regression models were used to determine the association between body mass index, body composition and the autonomic nervous system activity, assessed by pupillometry.Results: Average dilation velocity was higher among children with obesity, according to the CDC and percentage of body fat criteria (β = 0.053, 95% CI = 0.005 to 0.101 and β = 0.063, 95% CI = 0.016 to 0.109, respectively). The same trend was observed for WHO and IOTF criteria (β = 0.045, 95% CI = -0.001 to 0.091, and β = 0.055, 95% CI = -0.001 to 0.111, respectively). CDC and WHO body mass index z-scores were also positively associated with the values of average dilation velocity (rs = 0.030, p = 0.048; and rs = 0.027, p = 0.042, respectively).Conclusion: Our findings suggest an association between body mass and changes in the autonomic activity, Moreover, this study provides proof of concept for interventions targeting the prevention/treatment of obesity in children that may offer some benefit in re-establishing the balance of the autonomic nervous system, and subsequently preventing the consequences associated with the autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

Published: May 2023

Partindo da constatação das limitações existentes das orientações curriculares sobre as relações entre o trabalho e o desenvolvimento humano, neste artigo objetivamos aprofundar a compreensão do trabalho como fundamento ontológico em articulação com as dimensões filosófico-científicas, psicológicas e pedagógicas na formação de uma concepção de mundo materialista, histórica e dialética. Isso foi feito por meio da identificação e caracterização da categoria trabalho em dez trabalhos de pesquisa em Educação Química e duas entrevistas realizadas com pesquisadores da área. Esse conjunto de dados foi analisado em três categorias: 1. Trabalho como categoria marxiana; 2. Categoria trabalho e educação; 3. Categoria trabalho e educação em química. Nelas buscamos identificar elementos nos trabalhos que apontassem para as dimensões filosófico-científicas, psicológicas e pedagógicas na formação de uma concepção de mundo, considerando o trabalho como categoria fundante e como fundamento ontológico do ser social. Assim, buscamos identificar a relação entre o aspecto objetivo do conhecimento em articulação com o aspecto subjetivo do estudante na tomada de posição em relação à prática social no ensino de química. Ao longo de nossa análise ressaltamos como a Educação Química histórico-crítica pode contribuir para uma concepção de mundo materialista histórico-dialética considerando uma formação ontológica pelo trabalho, que problematiza a ciência e o cientista, considerando o caráter subjetivo e alienado deste trabalho; cujos conceitos e instrumentos psíquicos e conceituais contribuem para o pensamento abstrativo indicando o papel do conhecimento para a sociedade visando sua transformação.

Background: Although a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is readily available, new cases of COVID-19 are still occurring. New drug discovery is needed to treat COVID-19. Protein E is one of the potential targets. Two synthetic compounds of bicycloproline derivatives have the potential to be developed. Objective: This study aimed to estimate the interaction of bicycloproline compounds to protein E in-silico. Methods: There were two bicycloproline-derived compounds, MI-09 and MI-30, used in docking. Remdesivir was used as a reference ligand. The crystal structure of the E protein was created using homology modeling, while the test compound was drawn using the Marvin Sketch. MOE 2022.02 and BDS 2021 were used for docking and visualization processes. Results: The pentamer of the SARS-CoV-2 E protein obtained a clash score (1.06); poor rotatomer (0.00%); favored rotamers (98.11%); Ramachandran favored (96.43%); Ramachandran outlier (1.78%); Rama Z-score (-1.08); and mol probity (1.04). Research shows promising inhibition potential of the MI-09 and MI-30. The MI-30 has the best binding energy of -10.3326 kcal/mol. Conclusion: The docking results show that MI-30 has potency as an inhibitor of protein E and can be developed in treating COVID-19. Further research is needed to confirm the result by in vitro and in vivo studies.

Authors: Hendradi Esti , Rahayuningtyas  , Erawati Tristiana
Published: May 2023

Background: Diclofenac potassium is an NSAID drug that is used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. The use of this drug orally can cause side effects in the gastrointestinal tract, and the drug will undergo extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver. Therefore, preparations for transdermal patches were made. Objective: Determining the effect of the polymer ratios of carboxymethyl chitosan, polyvinyl pyrolidone K-30, and ethyl cellulose N22 on the physicochemical characteristics and drug release of a matrix type diclofenac potassium patch. Methods: In this study, matrix type diclofenac potassium patches were made using a combination of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) K-30 polymer, and ethyl cellulose (EC) N22 in a ratio of 2:3:7 and 3:2:7. Patches are made by mixing the entire polymer matrix and diclofenac potassium together, which are then evaporated and dried. Results: The results showed that the different polymer compositions of CMC, PVP K-30, and EC N22 resulted in patches with physicochemical characteristics that were not significantly different. The combination of these polymers is able to control the release of the drug from the patch for a long time. It was also found that increasing the concentration of CMC was able to increase the rate of release of diclofenac potassium. Formula 2 with a ratio of 3:2:7 is claimed to be the best formula in terms of physical, chemical, and drug release characteristics from the patch. Further studies are needed, such as drug penetration tests into the skin.
