Published: December 2024

The rise in extreme weather events due to climate change challenges the balance of supply and demand for high-quality agricultural products. In Taiwan, greenhouse cultivation, a key agricultural method, faces increasing summer temperatures and higher operational costs. This study presents the innovative AI-powered greenhouse environmental control system (AI-GECS), which integrates customized gridded weather forecasts, microclimate forecasts, crop physiological indicators, and automated greenhouse operations. This system utilizes a Multi-Model Super Ensemble (MMSE) forecasting framework to generate accurate hourly gridded weather forecasts. Building upon these forecasts, combined with real-time in-greenhouse meteorological data, the AI-GECS employs a hybrid deep learning model, CLSTM-CNN-BP, to project the greenhouse’s microclimate on an hourly basis. This predictive capability allows for the assessment of crop physiological indicators within the anticipated microclimate, thereby enabling preemptive adjustments to cooling systems to mitigate adverse conditions. All processes run on a cloud-based platform, automating operations for enhanced environmental control. The AI-GECS was tested in an experimental greenhouse at the Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute, showing strong alignment with greenhouse management needs. This system offers a resource-efficient, labor-saving solution, fusing microclimate forecasts with crop models to support sustainable agriculture. This study represents critical advancements in greenhouse automation, addressing the agricultural challenges of climate variability.
Resilience and Sustainable Territorial Development: Safeguarding Cultural Heritage at Risk for Promoting Awareness and Cohesiveness Among Next-Generation Society
Authors: Fiorentino Sara , Vandini Mariangela
Published: December 2024

The deprivation of historical and cultural testimony has a direct impact on a territory and its local communities, leading to the loss of social cohesiveness, identity values, and resources that come from sustainable tourism. Even though international action frameworks (Hyogo Framework for Action, Sendai Framework for Action, and 2030 Sustainable Development Goals) emphasise how important it is to recognise the relationship between heritage, society, and territory, a strategic and sustainable vision of participatory conservation and safeguarding is still required on a local level. Through the activities implemented within the SIRIUS and RESTART projects, led by the Department of Cultural Heritage, University of Bologna, this paper aims to stimulate a reflection on how the cultural heritage of a place might constitute an effective resilience tool for the impacted populations, with a focus on young citizens. As a transversal element in achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, cultural heritage can play a significant role in the establishment of a “risk culture” among residents and visitors, promoting the adoption of responsible behaviours for one’s own safety in an emergency and for the better preservation of cultural assets. In a broader perspective, this strategy will support “climate-sensitive” tourism and citizenship, which can facilitate adaptation to local climate change impacts.

Published: December 2024

Background/Objectives: Pediatric facial fractures present unique challenges due to the anatomical, physiological, and developmental differences in children’s facial structures. The growing facial bones in children complicate diagnosis and treatment. This review explores the advancements and complexities in managing pediatric facial fractures, focusing on innovations in diagnosis, treatment strategies, and multidisciplinary care. Methods: A narrative review was conducted, synthesizing data from English-language articles published between 2001 and 2024. Relevant studies were identified through databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, Embase, and SciELO using keywords related to pediatric facial fractures. This narrative review focuses on anatomical challenges, advancements in diagnostic techniques, treatment approaches, and the role of interdisciplinary teams in management. Results: Key findings highlight advancements in imaging technologies, including three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which have improved fracture diagnosis and preoperative planning. Minimally invasive techniques and bioresorbable implants have revolutionized treatment, reducing trauma and enhancing recovery. The integration of multidisciplinary teams, including pediatricians, psychologists, and speech therapists, has become crucial in addressing both the physical and emotional needs of patients. Emerging technologies such as 3D printing and computer-assisted navigation are shaping future treatment approaches. Conclusions: The management of pediatric facial fractures has significantly advanced due to innovations in imaging, surgical techniques, and the growing importance of interdisciplinary care. Despite these improvements, long-term follow-up remains critical to monitor potential complications. Ongoing research and collaboration are essential to refine treatment strategies and improve long-term outcomes for pediatric patients with facial trauma.
Two-Loop Corrections in Power Spectrum in Models of Inflation with Primordial Black Hole Formation
Authors: Firouzjahi Hassan
Published: December 2024

We calculated the two-loop corrections in the primordial power spectrum in models of single-field inflation incorporating an intermediate USR phase employed for PBH formation. Among the overall eleven one-particle irreducible Feynman diagrams, we calculated the corrections from the “double scoop” two-loop diagram involving two vertices of quartic Hamiltonians. We demonstrate herein the fractional two-loop correction in power spectrum scales, like the square of the fractional one-loop correction. We confirm our previous findings that the loop corrections become arbitrarily large in the setup where the transition from the intermediate USR to the final slow-roll phase is very sharp. This suggests that in order for the analysis to be under perturbative control against loop corrections, one requires a mild transition with a long enough relaxation period towards the final attractor phase.
DHX15 and Rig-I Coordinate Apoptosis and Innate Immune Signaling by Antiviral RNase L
Authors: Ramnani Barkha , Devale Trupti , Manivannan Praveen , Haridas Aiswarya , Malathi Krishnamurthy
Published: December 2024

During virus infection, the activation of the antiviral endoribonuclease, ribonuclease L (RNase L), by a unique ligand 2′-5′-oilgoadenylate (2-5A) causes the cleavage of single-stranded viral and cellular RNA targets, restricting protein synthesis, activating stress response pathways, and promoting cell death to establish broad antiviral effects. The immunostimulatory dsRNA cleavage products of RNase L activity (RL RNAs) recruit diverse dsRNA sensors to activate signaling pathways to amplify interferon (IFN) production and activate inflammasome, but the sensors that promote cell death are not known. In this study, we found that DEAH-box polypeptide 15 (DHX15) and retinoic acid-inducible gene I (Rig-I) are essential for apoptosis induced by RL RNAs and require mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS), c-Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) for caspase-3-mediated intrinsic apoptosis. In RNase L-activated cells, DHX15 interacts with Rig-I and MAVS, and cells lacking MAVS expression were resistant to apoptosis. RL RNAs induced the transcription of genes for IFN and proinflammatory cytokines by interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) and nuclear factor kB (NF-kB), while cells lacking both DHX15 and Rig-I showed a reduced induction of cytokines. However, apoptotic cell death is independent of both IRF-3 and NF-kB, suggesting that cytokine and cell death induction by RL RNAs are uncoupled. The RNA binding of both DHX15 and Rig-I is required for apoptosis induction, and the expression of both single proteins in cells lacking both DHX15 and Rig-I is insufficient to promote cell death by RL RNAs. Cell death induced by RL RNAs suppressed Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) replication, and inhibiting caspase-3 activity or cells lacking IRF-3 showed that the induction of apoptosis directly resulted in the CVB3 antiviral effect, and the effects were independent of the role of IRF-3.

Published: December 2024

During the past 25 years, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) has produced multiple outbreaks in the US, resulting in the emergence of different viral lineages. Currently, very little is known about the pathogenesis of many of these lineages, thus limiting our understanding of the potential biological factors favoring each lineage in these outbreaks. In this study, we aimed to determine the potential phenotypic differences between two VSV Indiana (VSIV) serotype epidemic strains using a pig model. These strains are representative of the epidemic lineages that affected the US between 1997 and 1998 (IN98COE) and between 2019 and 2020 (IN0919WYB2), the latter responsible for one of the most extensive outbreaks in the US. Our initial genome analysis revealed the existence of 121 distinct mutations between both strains, including the presence of a 14-nucleotide insertion in the intergenic region between the G and L genes observed in IN0919WYB2. The levels of viral RNA in clinical samples between pigs infected with IN98COE or IN0919WYB2 were compared. Overall, higher and prolonged expression of viral RNA in pigs infected with IN98COE was observed. However, clinically, IN0919WYB2 was slightly more virulent than IN98COE, as well as more efficient at producing infection through contact transmission. Additionally, infectious virus was recovered from more samples when the pigs were infected with IN0919WYB2, as revealed by virus isolation in cell culture, indicating the increased ability of this virus to replicate in pigs. Sequence analyses conducted from isolates recovered from both experimental groups showed that IN0919WYB2 produced more variability during the infection, denoting the potential of this strain to evolve rapidly after a single infection–contact transmission event in pigs. Collectively, the results showed that epidemic strains of VSIV may represent disparate phenotypes in terms of virulence/transmissibility for livestock, a situation that may impact the intensity of an epidemic outbreak. This study also highlights the relevance of pathogenesis studies in pigs to characterize phenotypic differences in VSV strains affecting livestock in the field.

Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine, St. Petersburg, Russia, Karagodin D. A.
Published: December 2024

When growing grain crops, we obtain: grain, grain waste and straw.
The problem of distributing costs collected for one accounting object to several
calculation objects arises. The article describes the current methodology and
existing problems of accounting, distribution of costs for growing grain crops by
types of products. Scientists’ proposals for solving these problems are presented.
To improve the quality of calculation, the author suggests opening two additional
analytical accounts for each crop: «Costs of harvesting straw» and «Costs of delivering
grain». To distribute costs formed before harvesting crops, it is recommended
to use a coefficient calculated based on the content of nutritional value in grain and
straw in centners of feed units or exchange energy in megajoules.

Authors: Krause Romig Karen Laiz , Weiduschadt Patrícia
Published: December 2024

A Escola Dominical da Igreja Evangélica Luterana do Brasil (IELB) pode ser considerada um espaço religioso e uma prática educativa que ganha força a partir da década de 1970. Em tal período, as escolas paroquiais perdem seu espaço nas congregações, devido ao investimento público nas escolas estatais, forçando a igreja a organizar uma nova estratégia para manter as crianças próximas dos seus ensinamentos religiosos. Tendo isso em vista, o presente estudo analisa as estratégias de letramento religioso da Escola Dominical entre os anos de 1970 e 1990. Inserido no campo da História da Educação, explora um fenômeno pouco investigado, mas crucial na trajetória de muitos luteranos, destacando a relevância da alfabetização religiosa na formação moral e social dessas crianças. Nesta investigação, é utilizada a análise documental para examinar os materiais educativos empregados nesse período, incluindo livros, revistas e periódicos com atividades lúdicas. Ao observar tais materiais didáticos, percebe-se que eram realizadas atividades de alfabetização e letramento, as quais auxiliavam na leitura, na escrita e na formação daqueles que participavam da Escola Dominical. Os resultados indicam, ainda, a existência de um espaço de letramento religioso, já que as atividades direcionadas para as crianças envolviam uma educação cristã.
fabulação como jogo
Authors: Viegas da Silveira Luciano
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo, buscamos identificar como o gesto de fabulação se constitui enquanto procedimento formal seminal na obra do cineasta tailandês Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Empreendemos uma análise focada no longa-metragem de estreia Objeto misterioso ao meio dia (2000), destacando a relevância da fabulação como força-motriz do filme, o que se dá aos moldes de um jogo. Em seguida, apontamos que tal função fabuladora seria apropriada de forma definitiva pelo cineasta, a partir de outras modulações, nos filmes mais conhecidos que compõem sua cinematografia subsequente, como Mal dos trópicos (2004), Tio Boonmee, que pode recordar suas vidas passadas (2009) e Cemitério do esplendor (2015).
Un altar de “culturas decapitadas”. Arqueología y sacrificio en el Museo Nacional de Antropología (México)
Authors: Alvarez Paulina
Published: December 2024

El Museo Nacional de Antropología es un dispositivo clave en la construcción de una imagen de México y de poblaciones actuales que son marcadas como los “otros” del sujeto nacional mestizo. Su guión presenta el desarrollo progresivo de algunas “culturas arqueológicas” desde el primer poblamiento hasta su clímax en la sala dedicada al “imperio mexica”, ubicada en posición central, cuya caída suspende la temporalidad de la narrativa en la guerra de conquista, en 1521. En el piso superior, las “culturas etnográficas” son dispuestas como otro tipo de remanente, en contigüidad con los restos del pasado y en una pretendida correspondencia con las culturas arqueológicas. Este artículo pone el foco en otro de sus contenidos, implícito, insinuado en lapresentación de restos humanos montados en escenas sacrificiales, una especie de “magia mimética” conjurada con imágenes y discursos arqueológicos, a través de la cual el Estado contemporáneo encarna las potencias soberanas del pasado remoto.
Estrategias indígenas en torno al comercio de la sal y control de Salinas Grandes entre 1808 y 1810
Authors: Dátola Carla
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza el arribo de tres comitivas indígenas a la ciudad de Buenos Aires a inicios de junio de 1809. En ellas algunos líderes presentaron propuestas para suministrar sal a la capital, contemplando la periodicidad del abastecimiento, la cantidad y el precio a convenir. Los caciques también plantearon sus posturas sobre el acceso hispanocriollo a la sal de Salinas Grandes. Estas comitivas sucedieron luego de la expedición a Salinas Grandes en 1808, a cargo de Juan Ignacio Terrada y, a la vez, constituyeron la antesala a las negociaciones durante la expedición a Salinas, al mando de Pedro Andrés García en 1810. Se apunta a comparar los discursos y estrategias de los caciques en torno al comercio de la sal y a la explotación hispanocriolla de Salinas Grandes en estos tres momentos, para identificar a los líderes participantes y dilucidar sus posturas en el marco diplomático, atendiendo al campo de alianzas que estos líderes construyeron en el período analizado.

A medicina divina em Ambrósio de Milão
Authors: Benedito André Luiz
Published: December 2024

Los gestos curativos realizados por Jesús de Nazaret durante su ministerio público dieron lugar a numerosos abordajes en el período patrístico, especialmente en el campo de la soteriología. En el siglo IV encontramos la figura de Ambrosio de Milán quien, en varios de sus escritos, presentó la dinámica histórico-salvífica a la luz de diversos elementos tomados de la práctica de la medicina. Sus ricas metáforas proporcionan un reflejo multifacético de la manera en que Cristo obra la salvación entre los hombres. En este sentido, este artículo abordará la medicina divina en el pensamiento ambrosiano desde tres vertientes. En primer lugar veremos la figura de Cristo Doctor, que manifiesta su bondad a favor de los seres humanos enfermos a causa del pecado. En el segundo momento veremos cómo Ambrosio explica los remedios espirituales, más concretamente la Palabra de Dios, la Eucaristía y la Penitencia. Finalmente, el artículo presentará al paciente frente al médico y los remedios espirituales, cuyas actitudes implican consecuencias para la recuperación o no de la salud. De esta manera, la tríada “médico-medicina-enfermo” examinada en los escritos ambrosianos permite una visión más amplia de la realidad soteriológica a la luz de la medicina espiritual, que, en definitiva, presenta al Cristo Doctor que descendió de los cielos trayendo la medicina de salvación a la humanidad herida por el pecado.

Authors: Hasmayaputra Harry , Asnawati  , Arifin Nur
Published: December 2024

Bananas are one of the leading fruits in Indonesian agriculture. Cavendish bananas (Musa cavendishii) are a variety of dessert bananas that originated in Brazil and were introduced to Indonesia in 1990. This study aims to determine the best combination of coconut water and BAP concentrations for inducing shoots of Cavendish banana plants in vitro. The research was conducted over a period of 3 months, from March 14 to June 19, 2024, at the Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Tanjungpura University, Pontianak. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 9 treatments, each replicated 3 times, with each replicate consisting of 3 sample bottles. The treatments included A (150 ml/l coconut water + 1.5 mg/l BAP); B (150 ml/l coconut water + 2.5 mg/l BAP); C (150 ml/l coconut water + 3.5 mg/l BAP); D (200 ml/l coconut water + 1.5 mg/l BAP); E (200 ml/l coconut water + 2.5 mg/l BAP); F (200 ml/l coconut water + 3.5 mg/l BAP); G (250 ml/l coconut water + 1.5 mg/l BAP); H (250 ml/l coconut water + 2.5 mg/l BAP); and I (250 ml/l coconut water + 3.5 mg/l BAP). The results showed that all combinations of coconut water and BAP concentrations had similar effects on shoot induction. The combination of 150 ml/l coconut water + 1.5 mg/l BAP demonstrated higher efficiency in material usage, cost, and performance, making it the most effective treatment with the smallest concentration combination for inducing Cavendish banana shoots in vitro.

Published: December 2024

Tuberculosis is a globally distributed infectious disease of great importance to public health due to its zoonotic nature. In addition to its major impact on public health, bovine tuberculosis causes major economic losses due to reduced herd productivity and carcass losses in slaughterhouses. Given the critical importance of the disease, it is of utmost importance to enhance the accuracy of diagnostic methods in programs aimed at controlling and eradicating bovine tuberculosis in Brazil. The objective of this research project is to diagnose bovine tuberculosis in dairy herds that previously tested negative in the intradermal tuberculin test using commercial ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Samples from 17,917 cattle from dairy herds distributed across five farms in the Campos Gerais region of the state of Paraná were analyzed. For serological diagnosis, the commercial ELISA/IDEXX® kit was used to detect anti-Mycobacterium bovis antibodies in cattle herds. Of the 17,917 animals tested, the ELISA Mycobacterium bovis Antibody Test (IDEXX®) identified 399 (2.3%) reactive animals and 17,518 (97.7%) non-reactive animals. The highest number of positive animals in the ELISA was observed on farm B, with 375 (2.5%) reactive animals. Given the challenges faced in Brazil regarding the diagnostic confirmation of tuberculosis and the absence of validated reagents and methods, the importance of implementing new validated diagnostic methods is evident. The use of ELIST could serve as a complementary alternative to the official intradermal tuberculin test, potentially detecting false-negative animals and aiding in the control of the disease.
O impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 no risco de fragilidade em idosos atendidos no ambulatório de geriatria do Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto (HUJBB)
Authors: Nascimento Natália da Silva , Monteverde Beatriz Tavares
Published: December 2024

A síndrome de fragilidade é uma condição geriátrica associada à sarcopenia, desregulação neuroendócrina e imunológica. Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, medidas de isolamento foram necessárias para proteger pessoas com mais de 60 anos, grupo de maior risco de complicações graves. Este estudo transversal quantitativo avaliou 100 idosos atendidos no ambulatório de geriatria do Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto (HUJBB) em 2022. Os participantes, com 60 anos ou mais, assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre Esclarecido (TCLE) e foram avaliados pelo Índice de Vulnerabilidade Clínico-Funcional do Idoso (IVCF-20).  Observou-se que 57% tinham entre 60-74 anos, sendo 75% do sexo feminino. Quanto ao risco de fragilidade, 26% apresentaram baixo risco, 36% moderado e 38% alto risco, com associação significativa entre fragilidade e faixa etária (p=0.0286), perda de apetite (p=0.072) e sensação de fraqueza (p=0.0262) durante a pandemia. As comorbidades mais comuns foram hipertensão arterial (69%), diabetes mellitus (38%) e doenças osteoarticulares (34%), embora sem associação significativa com a fragilidade (p>0.05).  Os resultados evidenciam os impactos negativos da pandemia, que aumentaram a vulnerabilidade dos idosos, destacando a necessidade de classificação de risco para melhores cuidados e intervenções no envelhecimento.

Authors: Menino Ester Olivia de Oliveira , Silva Ítala Gouvea , Barbosa Filipe da Silva , Carvalho Marcelo Vieira Gissoni de
Published: December 2024

Justificativa: Embora a imunonutrição(IMN) tenha demonstrado benefícios nos desfechos pós-operatórios(PO) em pacientes oncológicos, sua utilização ainda é controversa. Objetivos: comparar a imunonutrição com o jejum convencional no período perioperatório em pacientes oncológicos, avaliando a incidência de complicações PO e investigar sua eficácia, timing, duração e os pacientes ideais para sua aplicação. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura até maio de 2024. A base de dados foi Medline/PUBMED, com a última busca em 10/05/2024, utilizando descritores como Patients”,“Cancer”,“Immunonutrition Diet”,“Preoperative Fasting” e “Postoperative Complications”.Inicialmente, encontrou-se 804 artigos, sendo 81 publicados entre 2023 e 2024. Após exclusões necessárias, restaram 9 artigos para análise detalhada. Resultados: A IMN possui potencial para suprimir a inflamação PO, estimular o sistema imunológico e diminuir os níveis inflamatórios sistêmicos. Estudos demonstraram que a nutrição imunomoduladora enteral resultou em redução nos níveis de endotoxinas e diamina oxidase nos dias 3 e 7 pós-operatórios. A IMN mostrou-se eficaz na redução de complicações PO em comparação com o jejum convencional em cirurgias eletivas. A administração pré e pós-operatória pode ser preferível para reduzir vazamento anastomótico, infecção do sítio cirúrgico e tempo de internação. A duração de 5 ou 7 dias de IMN é uma escolha viável. Pacientes com CCR, CECP e CE se beneficiaram do uso da IN perioperatória. Conclusão: O estudo enfatiza a importância de medidas simples que podem melhorar significativamente o desfecho pós-operatório em pacientes oncológicos, contribuindo para a melhoria da qualidade de vida desses indivíduos.

Authors: Meftah Saida , Attalah Nadhira
Published: December 2024

This paper assesses current tourism policies in Algeria with a focus on climate resilience and proposes improvements for sustainable development. Despite great strides in economic growth and infrastructure development, tourism policies in Algeria often lack comprehensive integration of climate resilience. The study examines key policy documents, including the National Tourism Strategy (2018-2023), the Coastal Tourism Development Plan, the Ecotourism Promotion Strategy, and the Sustainable Tourism Action Plan. The report identifies critical gaps such as insufficient resources, lack of coordination, and inadequate implementation mechanisms. Through stakeholder interviews and case studies in Oran and the Auras-Sahara region, the research highlights the importance of collaborative approaches between local governments, industry representatives and local communities.. Findings indicate that while structural measures like sea walls and investment in resilient infrastructure offer immediate relief, sustainable practices and diversification of tourism activities are essential for long-term resilience. The research reveals that regions with active stakeholder engagement demonstrated more effective adaptation and resilience measures. Additionally, the study underscores the need for integrating climate science into policy development, advocating for a holistic approach that considers environmental, social, and economic dimensions. By providing actionable recommendations and practical insights, this research contributes to the literature on climate resilience in tourism and offers a roadmap for enhancing policy effectiveness and sustainability in the Algerian tourism sector.
