Published: April 2024

The present study aimed to detect the parasitic fauna associated with black rats (Rattus rattus) from southeastern Algeria. It showed the presence of seven species of parasitic fungi namely Penicillium sp. (Prevalence Pr=91.3%), Aspergillus niger (Pr=91.3%), Alternaria sp. (Pr=58.7%), Cladosporium sp. (Pr=87%), Microsporum sp. (Pr=19.6%), Trichophyton sp. (Pr=21.7%) and Chrysosporium sp. (Pr=10.9%), noting that saprophytic fungi were the most recorded. On the other hand, according to the richness (S), adults (S = 7) and sub-adults (S = 7) of black rats were the most infested, with leaning for males compared to females, considering all the isolated species as satellites except the Chrysosporium sp. (2.9%) which is presented as a rare species. Concerning parasitic bacteria, aged rats were the most infected followed by adults and sub-adults where total coliforms were present in all individuals of the three classes tested. However, fecal streptococci were noted with a similar infestation rate in all age groups. Unlike this, clostridium sulfite-reducer (CSR) was mostly recorded on aged rats. Concerning the endoparasites found in the intestines of black rats, the pinworms (Syphacia muris, Syphacia obvelata, and Aspiculuris tetraptera) were more abundant than the other species. Hence, the current study allowed us to demonstrate that black rats can be considered an important reservoir of several microorganisms that can hold germs and represent a threat to biomedical and veterinary public health.

Published: April 2024

The purpose to effectuate this research work is to investigate the efficiency of crude xylano-pectinolytic enzymes in extraction and clarification of fruit juices, so as to improve their physical (clarity, viscosity and soluble solid), functional (total polyphenolic content) and sensory characteristics (acceptability). In this study, various conditions like enzyme dose, treatment time and stirring speed have been optimized. The extraction and clarification efficiency were found to be optimum at enzyme dose between 2:8 and 4:16 IU/g pulp, treatment time between 30 to 60 min and stirring speed of 50 and 60 rpm for different fruit juices. Enzymatic treatment enhanced the physicochemical, organoleptic and nutritional properties and generated juice with improved yield and clarity. After xylano-pectinolytic enzymatic treatment of various fruit juices, maximum increase in yield (95%), filterability (40%) and maximum decrease in viscosity (58%) was found in case of Tamarindus indica. Maximum increase in clarity (39%) and polyphenolic content (37%) was observed in case of Aegle marmelos. Maximum increase in reducing sugars was found in case of Fragaria ananassa along with other properties. All these attributes of xylano-pectinolytic enzymes indicate an adequate prospect for bio-industrial research.

Published: April 2024

The global demand for protein is on the rise owing to the exponential increase in the world population and to meet the global protein requirements, it is imperative to seek alternative sources of proteins in farm animal feeding. Recognizing the importance of proteins and the fact that a major portion of human protein requirements is derived from livestock in the form of meat, milk, and eggs, the available protein-feeding stuff in the form of soybean meal cannot be regarded as sufficient for feeding to livestock. Oil seeds such as rapeseed meal and canola meal have a crude protein content of 30%-40% and are widely used and hence a potential alternative protein source to soybean meal. Going forward, Grain legumes such as peas, faba beans, and lupins, another alternative source of proteins have the potential to replace traditional protein feeds completely or partially such as bone and fish meals. Duckweed with a protein content of 20%-45% is another plant-based potential protein source that can be employed in livestock feeding particularly pigs owing to its huge potential as a growth promoter as evidenced by studies in pigs and piglets. Because of their nutritional qualities and possible environmental advantages, insects represent another class of alternative protein sources that have enormous potential to function as sustainable protein sources. Several insect species have been assessed for use as animal feeds; the most promising ones include the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor, TM), the common house fly (MD), and the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens, HI). Byproducts from aquaculture and fisheries are abundant in macro- and micronutrients, and their utilisation can provide fishmeal and fish oil, which can then be further adapted for use as a source of protein in animal nutrition. Employing microalgae as an alternative source of protein in animal feeding is somehow a new concept. Many nutritional and toxicological studies have demonstrated the potential of algae biomass as a valued feed supplement or substitute for conventional protein sources such as soybean meal. While these alternative protein sources in livestock feeding may serve as useful tools, parameters such as feed safety and acceptability should be monitored based on feed safety regulations.

Published: April 2024

Sustainable agriculture in combination with crop improvement programme is gaining more attention in the scientific field nowadays. With abundance of resources, endophytes offer an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to increase crop yield, improve soil fertility while protecting the plants from a number of biotic and abiotic stresses. Residing within plant, endophytes are unique group of symbionts that systematically invade the internal environment of host without causing any pathogenic symptoms. Endophytes, which include bacteria, fungi, and viruses, have been shown to have beneficial effects on their hosts, either directly or indirectly. On the other hand, Zingiberaceae is a valuable family of ginger that has a lot of economic benefits. Endophytes isolated from the Zingiberaceae plants are known to promote plant development through the production of phytohormone, 1- aminocyclopropane -1 carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase, siderophore and also assist the host plant in phosphate solubilization activity. They are also prominent producers of several secondary metabolites with a lot of bioactivities. However, the full potential of endophytes from the Zingiberaceae plants largely remain untapped. Thus, the aim of this review is to discover various types of endophytes isolated from the Zingiberaceae plants, their phytohormone production, nutrient acquisition, biohardening application, secondary metabolites production and bioactivities. The broad knowledge of endophytes from Zingiberaceae plants will provide insight into new economic potentials and determine its future in sustainable agriculture practices.

Published: April 2024

Without trees and plants, we could not survive. One significant natural resource is forests. For the ecosystem and for our varied needs, forests are essential. They provide everyone on the planet with gasoline, food, and medical supplies. These days, deforestation is one of the world's most pressing issues. It has negligible effects on the climate and ecology. Since the 1960s, more than half of the tropical forests on Earth have been destroyed. Deforestation early detection has become important. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used in deforestation detection to determine the extent of deforestation by using pre- and post- deforestation satellite images as input. Globally, large- scale deforestation results in substantial losses. The rate of deforestation worldwide is approximately 10 million hectares of forest every year. Since 1990, the area covered by primary forests worldwide has decreased by more than 80 million hectares. For a variety of causes, people have cleared woods. Urbanization, mining, illegal logging, and agricultural growth are a few of the factors that continue to fuel deforestation worldwide. Systems based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Data Augmentation, Geospatial Analysis and Post-processing Techniques which could involve filtering out small isolated detections, smoothing boundaries, or incorporating contextual information to improve the overall accuracy of deforestation identification have been developed by numerous researchers. Detecting and forecasting deforestation in the agricultural sector requires the application of appropriate image processing and machine learning techniques.

Retórica, política e religião
Authors: Gross Eduardo
Published: April 2024

A partir do ponto de vista da história da retórica de Hans-Georg Gadamer, este trabalho chega à discussão de Paul Ricoeur sobre ideologia e utopia para mostrar a impossibilidade de um discurso de natureza puramente transcendental, neutra, objetiva ou científica sobre política e religião. A noção de filosofia prática de Gadamer e a proposta de Ricoeur em favor de um equilíbrio entre discursos fundacionais e ficcionais são utilizadas para mostrar que não há um caminho simples para se alcançar a compreensão mútua. Civilidade e razoabilidade precisam ser entendidos como meios culturais pelos quais um diálogo sincero das diferenças pode ser exercitado.
Inscrição e movimento: arte latino-americana contemporânea e redefinições do local a partir dos anos 1990
Authors: Meire Rafael
Published: April 2024

Este artigo investiga as estratégias pelas quais, a partir dos anos 1990, os trabalhos de alguns artistas latino-americanos, em sua relação com a alteridade, fazem todo um investimento no local e no particular que, no entanto, não se traduz em termos de uma identidade. A nosso ver, esse aspecto anda lado a lado com a maneira como os espaços físicos, afetivos, políticos e institucionais tornam-se a um só tempo objeto de discussão e parte constituinte das próprias obras, estas desprovidas de autonomia formal. Essas questões serão abordadas a partir de trabalhos escolhidos de Francis Alÿs, Paulo Nazareth, Regina Parra e Rosângela Rennó.

O controle social institucionalizado como garantia de proteção dos direitos humanos e o direito da saúde no enfrentamento às emergências em saúde pública no Maranhão
Authors: Freitas Junior Luciano Mamede de , Chai Cássius Guimarães
Published: April 2024

O Estado Democrático de Direito tem e a força legitimadora que valida esse direito tem a participação popular como combustível da democracia, onde as políticas públicas são sugeridas, desenvolvidas e aplicadas em razão da participação da sociedade civil. As emergências em saúde provocam a exposição das fragilidades institucionais na garantia de direitos humanos e da saúde, impactando diretamente nas populações vulneráveis, assim como nas estruturas dos sistemas de saúde. Nesta senda, o controle social em saúde do Maranhão tem papel como instrumento na garantia desses direitos impactados. O presente trabalho aborda a perspectiva do controle social institucionalizado como garantia dos direitos humanos e direito em saúde no enfrentamento às emergências em saúde pública no Maranhão, tratando da discussão sobre a base democática desses direitos com enfoque Habermasiano. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica realizada pelo método sociojurídico-crítico, visando a um aprofundamento teórico para a efetivação do esclarecimento dos motivos da análise. No enfrentamento da emergências em saúde pública é intuitivo que o direito fundamental em risco é a saúde, cujo suporte fático resultante da combinação do seu âmbito de proteção e intervenção, revela a necessidade de fazer cessar a proteção deficiente e assegurar que os titulares do direito não sejam expostos indevidamente ao risco de contágio. A necessidade de atuação do controle social institucionalizado no qual a sociedade civil é partícipe, atua no controle, monitoramento e fiscalização das ações, planos, metas, diretrizes e objetivos do SUS para o enfrentamento das emergências em saúde pública, com vistas  à promoção, proteção, prevenção e recuperação da saúde das pessoas, e é imprescindível sob o prisma do exercício dos poderes na República, pois acima de tudo, além de garantir o direito à saúde, favorece o exercício do controle social.

Published: April 2024

O artigo se baseia em pesquisa recente sobre a influência do Grupo Articulador de Fortalecimento dos Conselhos Escolares do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (GAFCE/RJ) como indutor de políticas de gestão democrática da educação nos municípios fluminenses. Com base em análise documental e em entrevistas complementares, o estudo examina em detalhes o Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento dos Conselhos Escolares, política pública que suscitou o surgimento do GAFCE/RJ, e aprofunda a análise sobre a atuação desse Grupo como instrumento de indução à gestão democrática da escola pública no estado do Rio de Janeiro. São restituídos os marcos teóricos da pesquisa, que se fundamentam no corpus conceitual formulado por Stephen Ball sobre o ciclo de políticas, notadamente em relação às categorias ‘contexto de influência’ e ‘contexto de produção de texto’. Conclui-se que, sem a consolidação das estruturas colegiadas de gestão, a escola jamais será efetivamente democrática.

Published: April 2024

O objetivo do trabalho é propor uma interpretação quanto aos fatores que foram (ou são) determinantes para mitigar as consequências mais imediatas de uma crise pandêmica, bem como àqueles que podem fazer soçobrar as respostas de políticas públicas. Para tanto, buscou-se responder as seguintes questões: as políticas macroeconômicas são suficientes para aplacar as consequências de uma pandemia, como a do COVID-19? A estrutura institucional de cada sociedade e a desigualdade importam? A estratégia metodológica consistiu em elaborar uma revisão de literatura que buscasse responder aos problemas propostos a partir das experiências dos Estados Unidos e da China (os dois principais casos de ocorrência do patógeno). Entre os resultados destacam-se a) a política fiscal, ainda que necessária, é insuficiente para explicar o desempenho dos Estados Nacionais à crise; b) as políticas de isolamento social são mais eficientes em sociedade mais homogêneas; c) maiores níveis de capital social produzem um distanciamento social mais efetivo; e d) somente a combinação de políticas híbridas, do ponto de vista, epidemiológico, foi capaz de produzir uma reabertura com mudança real na trajetória da pandemia, com menos casos e mortes.

Vulneración de derechos constitucionales en procesos administrativos sancionadores de la ETFA. Periodo 2022 y 2023
Authors: Toapanta-Tanqueño Santiago Emilio , Guala-Mayorga Ángel Eduardo
Published: April 2024

Los derechos constitucionales y los procesos administrativos sancionadores desempeñan un papel crucial en la protección de las garantías fundamentales y en la imposición de medidas disciplinarias por violaciones a las normativas en la Escuela Técnica de Formación Aérea (ETFA) de Ecuador. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, se ha observado una preocupante tendencia de vulneración de estos derechos, comprometiendo principios como la presunción de inocencia, el derecho a la defensa y el debido proceso. Este estudio tiene como objetivo examinar estas posibles violaciones durante el período 2022-2023. Por ello, como parte de la metodología de estudio se realiza una revisión de leyes, reglamentos y normativas nacionales e internacionales relacionadas con los procesos administrativos sancionadores de la ETFA y los derechos constitucionales, además de la revisión de casos suscitados para obtener una comprensión detallada de las situaciones de vulneración de derechos constitucionales en el contexto de la ETFA. Los hallazgos revelan que, a pesar de los marcos legales sólidos, estas protecciones suelen ser socavadas debido a la influencia del mando y las relaciones de subordinación. La manipulación o parcialidad en la presentación de pruebas y la dificultad para alcanzar certeza absoluta en la toma de decisiones representan riesgos significativos para la imparcialidad y la justicia. Se sugiere asignar la responsabilidad disciplinaria exclusivamente a profesionales del derecho, en lugar de a comandantes militares sin formación legal, para mejorar el debido proceso y la equidad, garantizando así el respeto a los derechos constitucionales y la dignidad de todas las partes involucradas en las investigaciones.

Published: April 2024

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of individual differences in head posture, balance parameters, and proprioception on balance and gait in asymptomatic individuals. The research was conducted with 111 participants. Balance and walking ability, range of motion of the cervical spine, body posture, proprioception sense, and both static and dynamic balance assessments were carried out. The relationship of the Timed Up and Go Test with various independent variables such as head forward tilt, proprioceptive error, Flamingo Test score, Functional Reach Test score, and Y Balance Test score was examined. There was a significant negative correlation between the Timed Up and Go Test score and the Functional Reaching Test score and the Y Balance Test score at p = 0.05 statistical significance level. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify variables predicting balance and gait performance. The results showed that there is no statistically significant relationship between the Timed Up and Go Test score and any of the predictive variables. The findings indicated that impairments in upper extremity reaching capacity and particular aspects of dynamic equilibrium could potentially be associated with the prolonged duration of the Timed Up and Go Test. The aforementioned discoveries hold significance for evaluating and restoring the physical abilities of people with mobility limitations.

Ageism, gerontological nursing and healthcare contexts

Professors Kathleen Hunter and Sherry Dahlke from the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Nursing explain why gerontological nursing education is key to addressing the unconscious negative stereotypes about ageing and improving care for older adults. Ageism is worldwide and is apparent in healthcare professions and health systems. (1) This is partly due to healthcare systems, particularly hospitals, that are institutionally ageist because they are designed for younger people with one acute condition rather than the majority of users who are older adults with chronic and acute conditions. (2) Moreover, healthcare professionals, of which nurses are the largest group that interact with patients, may be unconscious about their negative biases towards older people. Nurses’ unconscious biases are often demonstrated by overaccommodating older patients due to an underlying belief that older people are less capable. (3) Nurses may feel pressured to engage in overaccommodation to save time because they are working in hospitals where they experience time constraints due to short staffing, lack of material resources, and hospital cultures that focus on medical acuity.

Combatting organizational silence: How to have an honest conversation

Hewlett Packard’s Santa Rosa Systems Division was formed to take HP into a new and growing internet market. Yet, two years later, growth and profits were so disappointing that the senior team thought they were six months from being replaced. What saved them? An honest conversation about what was going wrong and overcoming organizational silence. Everyone in SRSD knew what the problems were, but no one could find a way to talk openly about it. Research – our own and others’ – finds that 80% of business, nonprofit, educational, governmental, and nongovernmental institutions fail to confront the truth about the flaws in their system of organizing, managing, and leading that keep them from carrying out their strategies. This phenomenon is called organizational silence. It undermines employee engagement, trust, and commitment and thus prevents senior management from learning about what is working and not working. Organizations beset with organizational silence are stuck in neutral, generally unable to learn what is holding them back and unable to change even what they do know about.

What we need to know about urinary incontinence

Christopher Jayne, MD, FACOG, URPS, MIGS, Director from Greater Houston Urogyn, walks us through what we need to know about urinary incontinence, including comment on bladder injury research. In the United States (U.S.), the baby boomer generation is defined as those people born from 1946 to 1964. According to the 2020 U.S. census data, this generation is the second largest age group after the millennial generation. Millennials were born from 1982 to 2000 and are the children of baby boomers. By 2030, there will be approximately 73 million baby boomers, all of them 65 years or older.

Flame system: Computerised cognitive assessment for remote brain health monitoring

Monitoring brain health, particularly cognition, in older adults is increasingly recognised as a significant priority for research, healthcare and broader public health. Find out here about the development and validation of the FLAME System, a computerised cognitive assessment for remote brain health monitoring. The opportunity to delay or reduce the risk of dementia in people with early cognitive decline or Alzheimer’s Disease is considerable. After a period of limited progress, new treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease, such as donanemab, are now emerging.
Epidermal growth factor receptor mutant T790M-L858R-V948R inhibitor from Calophyllum inophyllum L. leaf as potential non-small cell lung cancer drugs
Authors: Silvia Precella , Ongko Jeremi , Antonius Yulanda
Published: April 2024

Context: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer type, with 80-85% prevalence. Usually, NSCLC is treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy in collaboration with gefitinib or other anticancer drugs. Those treatments have many adverse effects, such as shortness of breath, bleeding, fever, hair loss, and radiation pneumonitis. Lack of treatment options and numerous mutations greatly contribute to lung cancer's shocking death toll. Therefore, potential EGFR mutant inhibitors need to be analyzed. Aims: To identify potential inhibitors of an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant derived from Calophyllum inophyllum L. leaf using an in silico approach. Methods: In silico analysis and literature study were carried out. Secondary metabolite compounds from C. inophyllum were obtained through the PubChem database, and their biological activity and ADMET were analyzed. Molecular docking with EGFR wild-type (5FED) and mutant (5HG7) was carried out using PyRx. Furthermore, amino acid residues were analyzed using Discovery Studio. Results: Based on overall screening and molecular docking, a non-toxic compound with a low binding affinity with EGFR mutant protein is 4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethylcarbamoyl]benzenesulfonyl. Moreover, interactions and hydrogen bonds at Ala743, Gly796, Leu718, Phe856, Leu844, and Val726 are known to play a crucial role in ATP binding inhibition toward the tyrosine kinase domain, resulting in EGFR mutant inhibition. Conclusions: 4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethylcarbamoyl]benzenesulfonyl is one of the potential candidates as an EGFR mutant protein by ATP binding inhibition. However, in vitro and in vivo research needs to be performed to confirm these results.
Una mirada epistemológica sobre el costo de los nuevos bienes de capital
Authors: Rodríguez Brites Juan Francisco
Published: April 2024

El mundo se encuentra ante una nueva etapa de la economía sustentada en grandes infraestructuras globales. Esta infraestructura está compuesta por bienes de capital con componentes virtuales y físicos que deben poder ser entendidos desde el marco conceptual de la Teoría General del Costo. Desde el concepto de “costo” se pudo concluir que los agregados económicos medios (AEM) generan valor entregando a los usuarios finales una serie de bienes y servicios que les generan utilidad, y ese valor se traslada a los factores utilizados: hardware y software, que se corresponderían con las plataformas Over-the-Top (OTT) y los proveedores de red.
Fraude y lavado de dinero: Amenazas y vulnerabilidades de fuentes distintas al efectivo
Authors: Cohen Natalia , Maharaj Gajindra
Published: April 2024

El estudio muestra actividades de fraude y lavado de dinero que proviene de transacciones no originadas en efectivo, en un contexto de corrupción. Se proporciona evidencia de por qué tales comportamientos persisten a pesar de la regulación y las barreras anticorrupción, explicando el papel de la contabilidad y la estructura de las redes utilizadas para facilitar fraudes en áreas del sistema de salud, impositivo, hipotecario y robo de identidad en EE. UU. En busca de validez externa, se analiza un hecho ocurrido en 2014 en Argentina, que finalizó en la primera condena por la figura penal de intermediación financiera no autorizada.

Con el aumento creciente de la conciencia ambiental y social, las presiones externas, provenientes de las partes interesadas, ejercen nuevas fuerzas sobre las organizaciones. Las empresas deben ser transparentes tanto en lo que respecta a sus operaciones como a la información que brindan a la sociedad, lo que requerirá nuevas formas de medir, controlar y publicar las actividades comerciales, como la percepción de los grupos de interés sobre el compromiso de las empresas con las estrategias de sostenibilidad a largo plazo. , sin perder de vista la rentabilidad a corto plazo, son la base para crear un diferencial competitivo.
Un Proyecto de investigación sobre impuestos diferidos, enrolado en la “corriente principal de la contabilidad”, frente a las diferentes definiciones, segmentos y corrientes contables
Authors: Zgaib Alfredo Orlando
Published: April 2024

Elegir un camino para investigar ciertos aspectos de la contabilidad no implica negar la existencia de otros enfoques donde indagar, segmentos con los cuales trabajar o definiciones para delimitar las fronteras contables. Puede explorarse la relevancia de los impuestos diferidos sopesando su repercusión sobre la cotización de las acciones, cuestión trascendente pues normas relevantes podrían mitigar la información asimétrica, y al mismo tiempo estudiar si tales regulaciones fueron utilizadas para reforzar el dominio de ciertas empresas en detrimento de los demás participantes del mercado. Arrojar luz tanto sobre un fenómeno como otro permitiría actuar sobre la realidad con fundamentos más consistentes.

Authors: Suarez Tirado Jorge , López Hernández Daniel Esteban
Published: April 2024

El objetivo del presente documento es establecer los impactos que tiene el uso de técnicas de contabilidad estratégica sobre el desempeño financiero de aerolíneas de bajo costo. La metodología es de carácter mixto, cualitativa y cuantitativa. Ha sido aplicado un cuestionario a altos directores de diversas aerolíneas, preguntando sobre los niveles de implementación de Técnicas de Contabilidad Estratégica, utilizando en la mayoría de las preguntas, una escala tipo Likert de siete opciones. Asimismo, el marco teórico sobre Contabilidad Estratégica se ha construido con base en referencias bibliográficas obtenidas en las bases de datos Science Direct y Scopus para el periodo 1981-2021. Para el caso de la industria aérea y las aerolíneas de bajo costo, se han consultado referencias en artículos publicados en las bases de datos mencionadas, en libros y en reportes de la industria. La información financiera de las aerolíneas estudiadas proviene de reportes anuales encontrados en los respectivos sitios web corporativos, en Statista y en EMIS (Education Management Information System) y su análisis se ha realizado utilizando ciencia de datos y el lenguaje Python. La conclusión general es que la contabilidad estratégica ha sido parcialmente implementada en las aerolíneas de bajo costo estudiadas, con un predominio de benchmarking, costeo estratégico y precio estratégico como las técnicas que tienen mayor impacto positivo sobre el desempeño financiero, de allí la importancia de su estudio.
