The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential antibacterial and anti-adherent activities of the monoterpene (R)-(+)-limonene, as well as its synergistic potential with synthetic antimicrobials against strains of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterobacter cloacae. The antibacterial properties of (R)-(+)-limonene were assessed using the broth microdilution technique to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). Additionally, the infusion disc method was employed to explore the association of the compound with antimicrobials, and the test tube method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of adherence (MICA). It was observed that the MIC for (R)-(+)-limonene was 1000 μg mL-1 for five of the six E. faecalis strains tested, while for E. cloacae, the MIC exceeded 1000 μg mL-1 for all strains tested. Identical values were recorded for the MBC in E. faecalis. In terms of its combination with synthetic antimicrobials, (R)-(+)-limonene demonstrated a synergistic effect with gentamicin and ciprofloxacin for most strains. Regarding the MICA, both (R)-(+)-limonene and 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate failed to inhibit biofilm formation at the tested concentrations. Given the need for new therapeutic alternatives for treating bacterial infections, this study revealed that the tested monoterpene exhibited moderate bactericidal effects against E. faecalis strains and no antibacterial effect against E. cloacae strains. However, when combined with various classes of antimicrobials, (R)-(+)-limonene showed synergistic effects with gentamicin and ciprofloxacin for most strains. This suggests that (R)-(+)-limonene holds promise for enhancing the treatment of bacterial infections and could support conventional therapies. Nonetheless, further in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies are necessary to confirm and elucidate its efficacy and mechanisms.

Published: August 2024

One of the obstacles to arboreal plant breeding is the time required between the selection of superior genotypes and their multiplication. This study investigates Psidium (guava) hybrids developed to obtain rootstock or new scions resistant to the nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii. The use of half-siblings or hybrid seeds of these genetic materials does not preserve the genetic profile of resistant individuals, making destructive selection methods unfeasible. Propagating juvenile Psidium material by minicutting produces a high rooting percentage, facilitating the cloning of segregating families and reducing the time required to produce replicas. In this study, segregating families for resistance to M. enterolobii were cloned by minicutting, with replicas maintained in clonal minigardens while the mother plants were inoculated and evaluated for nematode reproduction in the root system. The results indicate resistance segregation both among and within families. Early cloning by minicutting demonstrated 100% efficiency, allowing the identification of 30 resistant individuals to occur simultaneously with the first multiplication cycle of these individuals, reducing the time and uncertainty involved in recovering superior materials. The methodology adopted is an effective strategy, allowing advances in guava breeding programs. Additionally, individuals resistant to M. enterolobii were observed in the hybrids P. guajava x P. cattleianum; P. cattleianum x P. guineense and P. guineense x P. cattleianum.

Enterólitos são concreções mineralizadas encontradas no intestino grosso dos equinos, que podem causar cólicas obstrutivas ao impedir o fluxo entérico normal, geralmente em pontos de redução do diâmetro intestinal. Apresenta alta incidência e causa grandes prejuízos no meio equestre. O diagnóstico presuntivo é realizado com base no histórico e sinais clínicos enquanto o diagnóstico definitivo só é possível na celiotomia exploratória ou radiografia abdominal. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo verificar a aplicabilidade clínica de parâmetros já estabelecidos para realização de diagnóstico radiográfico em casos de enterolitíase equina, e comparar esses achados entre um grupo com enterolitíase e um grupo controle. A partir dos prontuários de 92 equinos atendidos com síndrome cólica em um período que compreendeu junho de 2022 a outubro de 2023, os registros foram avaliados de maneira retrospectiva e incluíram 32 animais, que foram atendidos com sinais clínicos de cólica obstrutiva advinda do intestino grosso ou com histórico de dor abdominal recorrente, que realizaram exame de radiografia abdominal e que foi possível obter o diagnóstico definitivo por meio de celiotomia.  Doze animais compuseram o grupo controle e vinte o grupo enterolitíase. Foi verificada a inﬂuência do tamanho, número e localização do enterólito na detecção radiográﬁca, além de identificação de fatores que diﬁcultaram a realização da técnica diagnóstica e (correlacionados aos achados cirúrgicos. Durante o estudo, 85,5% dos animais do grupo enterolitíase (17/20) obtiveram o diagnóstico pré-cirurgico de enterólito por meio da radiografia abdominal enquanto três animais apresentaram falso-negativo e obtiveram o diagnóstico na celiotomia exploratória. O número de concreções apresentou relevância estatística significativa. Os principais fatores que interferiram no diagnóstico radiográfico   foram a distensão abdominal, peso e o escore de condição corporal, indicando essa forma diagnóstica, independente do segmento obstruído e do número de enterólitos, sendo mais fácil a identificação quando existir mais de uma concreção. O presente estudo evidenciou que a radiografia digital abdominal é um importante método auxiliar de diagnóstico pré-cirúrgico nos casos de enterolitíase equina, sendo verificado a possibilidade dessa forma diagnóstica independente do segmento obstruído e do número de enterólitos, apresentando mais facilidade de observação nos animais com mais de uma concreção. No entanto, ressalta-se a necessidade de cautela na interpretação de imagens de equinos obesos e com presença de distensão abdominal por gás, situações em que ocorreram diagnósticos falso negativos. O presente estudo elucidou a importância da radiografia abdominal no atendimento de casos de enterólito para uma intervenção terapêutica precoce e um melhor prognóstico.

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP ANXIETY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING: MODERATING ROLE OF PARENTAL ATTACHMENT IN ADOLESCENTS
Authors:   Farah Malik
Published: August 2024

Diverse studies have been done to explore the relationship of parental attachment with developmental outcomes in children but very few studies have investigated this phenomenon in adolescence. Adolescence is a much-burdened stage of development that is marked by the physical and psychological transition. For this reason, this research was planned to find out the link of parental attachment with psychological well-being, and interpersonal relationship anxiety in adolescents. Selective school and college students of age range 12 to 18 years (M=16.07, SD=1.77) were administered with the interpersonal relationship anxiety questionnaire, the flourishing scale and inventory of parent and peer attachment-mother and father forms along with a detailed demographic information sheet. Results of partial correlation, after controlling for the effect of gender, revealed that attachment with mother and father exclusively positively correlates with psychological well-being and negatively correlated with interpersonal relationship anxiety. SEM revealed that maternal and paternal attachment correlate with each other and collectively negatively correlates with interpersonal relationship anxiety and positively with psychological well-being. However, exclusively, only paternal attachment negatively predicted relationship anxiety. One sample t-test revealed that maternal attachment is perceived as secure, across genders as compared to the paternal attachment. ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 23(2) February, 2022; 1-10.
Shattering the Fetter of Main Markets on the London Stock Exchange: Is It a Benign Start for the Dual-Class Share Structure in the UK?
Authors: Jin Dongjie
Published: August 2024

The dual-class share structure, influenced by the governance perception of government and pressure from institutional investors, was still the forbidden region most time in the UK. However, the bonus of reforms that the London Stock Exchange (LSE) enjoyed was declining swiftly reflected in the number of listed companies and market cap. To promote competition and attraction, the LSE conditionally relaxed the restrictions of dual-class shares on premium listing in 2021, but the effects were faint in practice as founders cannot genuinely achieve the value of dual-class shares. In 2023, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) drafted the proposal removing the classification of standard and premium listing to relieve the restrictions of dual-class shares. Although this is a positive attempt, the action is also a double-edged sword that may pass higher risks to public shareholders. This article argues the overall intrinsic value of dual-class shares outweighs its potential risks on corporate governance. Yet, the great shareholder protection cannot be ignored as the reputation of the LSE. The design of dual-class rules should focus on shareholder protection but not influence the accomplishment of value, which can keep a certain resilience to achieve a relatively flexible balance between founders and investors.

The country of origin of goods is determined for applying tariff and non-tariff measures to regulate the regime for the import of goods into the customs territory and export of goods from such territory, as well as to ensure the accounting of goods in foreign trade statistics.In this article, the author analyses the main rules in Ukraine for the determination of the country of origin of goods and Ukrainian current trends in the application of rules of origin in Ukraine.
Korean Competition Law Enforcement: Recent Developments
Authors: Youngseok Kim
Published: August 2024

This article explains recent developments in Korean competition law enforcement from three perspectives. First, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (‘KFTC’) has recently improved its public enforcement procedures, focusing on preventing the collection of irrelevant materials during its on-site investigations, ensuring confidentiality in the KFTC’s investigations against the legal departments of investigated companies, and enabling more active participation from respondents in expressing their opinions. Second, the most significant progress in the enforcement of Korea’s Monopoly Regulation and Fair-Trade Act (‘MRFTA’) is evident in criminal enforcement. The KFTC and various other national institutions are actively employing criminal penalties, compelling companies to consider criminal procedures early in their response to investigations. Third, advancements have also been made in private enforcement, including (1) increased damage suits by parties injured by MRFTA violations, (2) derivative suits initiated by shareholders to recover company losses, and (3) recent legislative efforts to promote private enforcement through injunctions that prevent and prohibit violations and assist the injured parties in proving damage.
Miao Chong v. SAIC-GM: The Dawn of the Private Enforcement of Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law?
Authors: WU Chunxu
Published: August 2024

Global antitrust experiences have demonstrated that plaintiffs are frequently faced with evidentiary difficulties in the private enforcement of competition law, and China is no exception. In Miao Chong v. SAIC-GM, the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) of China, for the first time ever, affirmed the presumption of the truthfulness of the facts established in antitrust infringement decisions in the private enforcement of competition law, which is believed to relieve the plaintiff’s burden of proof in establishing damages claims. However, the Miao Chong ruling should not be overstated because the application of this presumption must be combined with the judge’s investigative power to collect evidence, which is also subject to certain strict conditions. In fact, the plaintiff’s weak evidentiary position in the private enforcement of competition law lies in the de facto inequality of power and resources between parties. This is demonstrated by the fact that most plaintiffs are individuals who also lack effective evidentiary systems. To elevate the plaintiff’s footing in the private enforcement of Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law (ALM), this article proposes changes to the existing presumptions of harm and substantive legal tests, with the aim of reducing the plaintiffs’ evidentiary burden and better assisting them in defending their compensation claims.
The GDPR-DMA Nexus: Is the GDPR an Achilles Heel for the DMA’s Data-Related Obligations?
Authors: Wierzbicka Aleksandra
Published: August 2024

In the ever-expanding digital realm, a systematized and coherent legal framework regulating data-driven competition has emerged as a paramount concern in the European Union. At the heart of this intricate puzzle lie the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) governing data protection and market contestability respectively. While the ‘without prejudice’ clause enshrined in the DMA seeks to harmonize their coexistence, the true extent of their compatibility and complementarity remains elusive. The juxtaposition of these two legislative pillars unveils nuanced conflicts and potential vulnerabilities at their intersection. If disregarded, these glaring blind spots might become an Achilles heel of the DMA and risk to weaken the DMA’s data-related ambitions.
Use of Code Refactoring Transformation in Software Advancement
Authors: Hassan Taimoor
Published: August 2024

In this paper, discuss the refactoring object-oriented code effects on software quality. We can say that refactoring is the reengineering process of code in software development, sometimes it is very helpful because it is not as expensive. The external behavior of software will not be changed, that is the big advantage of code refactoring. A lot of different researcher’s research on it to evaluate the results and check the software quality because companies do not compromise on quality standard. In this paper, refactoring technique shift to software requirements because if requirements are clear and definite then all the development will be good and up to the mark. We will check it at an earlier phase of software development so in this sense it is not very expensive. Different five research questions and their answers are also part of this paper. We will use requirements divided approach in it. Staring with requirements gathering then filter, break, prioritize, numbering and then convert it into requirement document. Apply this approach to a case study (Hotel Management System) and derive the results at each phase.
A SUSTENTABILIDADE NAS ARQUITETURAS
Authors: Wanderley Kamila Reis
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo possui o objetivo de apresentar as fases da Revolução Industrial, mostrando a evolução das máquinas, bem como os riscos que elas causam no meio ambiente, visto que após a substituição da energia de trabalho humano pelas máquinas a vapor e em seguida substituindo a energia a vapor pela combustão, o meio ambiente sentiu os efeitos dos poluentes emitidos para a atmosfera. O artigo apresenta também a construção civil como uma das áreas que podem causar poluição. Entretanto, outro objetivo dessa pesquisa é apresentar formas de mitigar esse problema, de modo que a construção civil continue crescendo em tecnologia e gerando empregos, mas sem causar impactos no meio ambiente. Para isso, foram apresentados alguns materiais que são utilizados na construção civil, mas que são de origem natural, podendo ser reciclados em caso de sobra ou de demolição da edificação. Além disso, também foram mostrados sistemas que visam à sustentabilidade da residência, como formas de economizar água por meio do armazenamento da chuva, aproveitamento da iluminação natural, utilização de painéis solares, a fim de reduzir o consumo de energia, entre outras formas de gerar a sustentabilidade no ambiente doméstico. Por fim, foi criada uma tabela, onde houve a comparação desses materiais de origem vegetal e as respectivas capacidades de reutilização e reciclagem.

Existem muitos processos de saberes brasileiros, este processo refere-se à prática de Educação Akwẽ-Xerente, povo habitante de terras indígenas, localizada em Tocantínia-TO dentro da Amazonia Legal. Desde a educação oferecida pelos Jesuítas, na qual imperava o cunho religioso até os dias atuais, muitos dos costumes dos não indígenas foram sendo conhecidos e sendo reaproveitados, em sua grande maioria, de forma a dar continuidade aos saberes indígenas, mostrando que o Akwẽ-Xerente obteve respeito à manutenção de seus rituais e a atividades culturais na educação, esta realizada em grande medida a partir de um processo, pautado em bases culturais balizadas no respeito (Schroeder, 2007). Neste artigo, buscamos mostrar a educação Akwẽ-Xerente dentro de uma trajetória sócio-educativa constituída pelos Akwen ao longo dos séculos, fazendo um paralelo com processos educativos de outros povos indígenas brasileiros. Este estudo possui o objetivo de demonstrar através de uma metodologia qualitativa as nuances e características que os Akwẽ-Xerente vem enfrentando na seara da Educação escolar. Os resultados mostram que apesar do não indígena ter sido conhecido, bem como seus costumes, a tradição cultural Akwẽ-Xerente ainda permanece em raízes pautadas na experiência e sobrevivência ao longo dos anos.
