Published: January 2024

A study was conducted by an interdisciplinary team covering pasturelands of 9 blocks of Coimbatore, Erode and Karur districts of Tamilnadu, together referred as Kangaym grasslands. Survey of grasslands, laboratory analysis of grass species, seed bank analysis, market study, stakeholder interviews, secondary and primary data collection were the methods employed. Aristida setacea had the highest importance value index (126.9) in species composition followed by Cenchrus ciliaris (49.2). Contribution of grasses to the total dry matter production was 82.50% and that of legumes was 12.42% with an average production of 1.61 t/ha/year. Acacia leucocephala was the most widely planted tree species with an average density of 358.42 plants/ha with DBH of 7.16±1.13 cm. Among the 10 C.ciliaris accessions, the maximum similarity obtained was 89% between Cenchrus-6 with Cenchrus-4 and 2 major clusters were indicated by dendrogram. Cenchrus spp. dominated the seed bank composition (72.7%). Majority of the farmers (65%) owned sheep. On an average, respondent graze animal for about 6.2 months in the paddocks that contributed more than 80% to its total diet. Balsamodendron berryi was the most commonly used live fence for the paddocks. One-fifth of the respondents reported that livestock contribution to their total farm income was between 75 and 99%. The average family size was 1.55 (G-1), 2.15 (G-2) and 2.4 (G-3) helping them to defer land fragmentation and maintain the big land size (average 10.9 ha).

Milk samples from mastitic and healthy buffaloes were subjected to centrifugation for preparation of acellular milk. It was subjected to ion exchange chromatography using carboxy methyl resin for purification. The purified protein and peptides obtained by the ion exchange chromatography were subjected to acid urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using lysozyme as a marker. The milk samples from mastitic buffaloes contained many cationic proteins and peptides. Some of these peptides exhibited migration similar to lysozyme. The SDS-PAGE revealed the presence of low molecular weight peptides in range of ~3–5KDa in mastitic milk, whereas these low molecular weight peptides were absent in milk from healthy animals. Tricine SDS PAGE was used for the resolution of peptides using high concentration of Acryl amide (49.5%) for resolving proteins less than 5KDa. It also revealed the presence of low molecular weight peptide of ~3–4.5KDa in mastitic milk and absence of such peptides from normal healthy buffalo’s milk. The present work has detected the presence of low molecular weight cationic peptides in milk of mastitic Buffaloes.

Bundelkhandi goats are found in Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The morphological features are jet black coat color, long legs, narrow face, roman type nose, long hair on body, black eyelids and muzzle, long curly and pendulous ears and bushy tail. The overall average recorded for body length, height at withers, chest girth, paunch girth, face length, horn length, ear length, tail length and body weights in bundelkhandi goats managed under any system were recorded. The males reared at farm exhibited better growth than those of field but female goats reared under two different management systems do not show significant difference in their growth. Genetic diversity was analysed in randomly selected unrelated 50 goats using FAO recommended 25 microsatellite markers. The observed number of allele ranged from 2 to 20 with an overall mean of 11.08 and the effective average number of allele was 4.96. The PIC value ranged between 0.41 to 0.92 and the highest value of the observed heterozygosity was 0.94 and the lowest was 0.06 and the expected heterozygosity was 0.73 to 0.89 respectively. The bottleneck analysis revealed the absence of any bottleneck in Bundelkhandi goat in recent past.

A tolerância à dessecação em sementes é de extrema importância para a longevidade, disseminação e perpetuação das espécies vegetais. Na produção agrícola, ela permite a redução do teor de água no final do processo de maturação, que culmina com o repouso metabólico, preservando a qualidade das sementes no armazenamento. Vários estudos têm sido realizados para entender os mecanismos que levam à tolerância a secagem que as sementes ortodoxas apresentam. Entretanto nem todos foram ainda muito bem elucidados. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo compilar as informações publicadas a respeito desta temática, iniciando, pela compreensão do desenvolvimento das sementes, do comportamento fisiológico, da caracterização dos parâmetros associados à maturação, para, então compreender os mecanismos associados à tolerância à dessecação em sementes. Os trabalhos publicados apontam que vários são os mecanismos de tolerância que permitem a desidratação e reidratação dos tecidos das sementes, sem que haja colapso celular. Dentre estes, destaca-se a ação do ácido abscíssico e da proteína DOG1, as proteínas LEA e de choque térmico, a ação de oligossacarídeos e do estado vítrio e o complexo de defesa antioxidativo das sementes. Além disso, há a regulação epigenética da expressão genética através da metilação do DNA, modificações pós-traducionais de histonas e a remodelação da cromatina.

Published: January 2024

Desde o estabelecimento das vacinas como método preventivo de doenças, principalmente epidêmicas, a ciência sempre buscou nelas a solução para grandes problemas de saúde pública como é o caso da Dengue, doença endêmica em vários países tropicais com grande população. O Brasil é um dos países que sazonalmente sofre com o aumento de casos todos os anos. Muitas técnicas de desenvolvimento de vacinas surgiram ao longo das últimas décadas e proporcionaram possibilidades de construir vacinas eficazes contra doenças que sempre apresentavam grandes desafios de prevenção. Várias vacinas contra a dengue existem atualmente e entre elas, a Dengvaxia®, da empresa Sanofi Pasteur, foi a primeira a se mostrar eficaz sem provocar efeitos colaterais preocupantes. Outra vacina que merece destaque é a vacina Qdenga, a primeira aprovada no Brasil para um público mais amplo (de quatro a 60 anos de idade). Dessa forma, a metodologia aplicada para o presente estudo foi um levantamento bibliográfico utilizando ferramentas de pesquisa da internet disponíveis, tais como a base bibliográfica da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS/BIREME), o Google Acadêmico, os boletins epidemiológicos do Ministério da Saúde e pesquisas no website da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária e da empresa Sanofi Pasteur. Os dados apresentados foram sobre a vacina Dengvaxia, a vacina Qdenga e a vacina promissora produzida pelo Instituto Butatan. Em relação a eficácia das vacinas, a Qdenga tem suporte principalmente nos resultados de um estudo de larga escala e a Dengvaxia através de campanhas vacinais pode ser considerada importante em regiões com maior incidência de dengue. O objetivo do trabalho é relatar a vacinação contra a dengue no Brasil e enfatizar a eficácia das vacinas aplicadas atualmente.
As contribuições do Objetivismo de Ayn Rand para o controle do Subjetivismo hermenêutico que limita, atualmente, o direito da personalidade da liberdade de expressão no Brasil
Authors: Passos Alexandre Pezzin , Silvestre Gilberto Fachetti
Published: January 2024

Existe um subjetivismo nas decisões judiciais – em especial no Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) e no Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) – derivado de interpretações de cláusulas gerais e conceitos jurídicos indeterminados da Constituição da República (CRFB) e da Legislação infraconstitucional. Essa falta de objetividade representa o fenômeno do “Subjetivismo hermenêutico” e traz consigo a arbitrariedade e a insegurança jurídica, que no presente coíbem o direito da liberdade de expressão e podem, no futuro, aumentar a extensão do dano causado aos direitos da personalidade que envolvam a liberdade como um todo.

Published: January 2024

A tuberculose (TB) representa um paradoxo: uma doença passível de prevenção, tratamento e cura, que persiste como um grande problema de saúde pública mundial pro acometer populações social e historicamente fragilizadas, com estreita relação com a desigualdade de renda, maior de taxa de migração, maior proporção de pobres de cor de pele ou raça não branca e maiores coeficientes de coinfecção HIV/tuberculose. Diante desse cenário, considerando os dados epidemiológicos constantes no SINAN (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação) percebemos a necessidade de verificar um grande entrave ao controle dessa doença que é a interrupção do tratamento. A proporção de interrupção do tratamento é variável entre os países. Segundo a OMS, em 2018 a Europa e as Américas apresentaram altas taxas de interrupção de tratamento, sendo nas Américas uma proporção em torno de 8% - o tolerável é até 5%.

Poluição sonora, revisão literária sobre apontamentos de Pimentel-souza em 1992
Authors: Roque Helena Maria , Viana Hélio Elael Bonini
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho aborda a questão da poluição sonora e a influência negativa que exerce no meio ambiente, desencadeando a longo prazo, no organismo alterações auditivas e não-auditivas (sintomas psicológicos e fisiológicos), prejudicando a rotina do sono, a aprendizagem e a saúde de maneira geral. Objetivamos destacar os apontamentos sobre poluição sonora, abordados por Pimentel-Souza em 1992, para correlacioná-los com a classificação da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) sobre os tipos de fontes geradoras de ruído, com a Constituição Federal de 1988 e, alguns estudos selecionados a partir das palavras-chave. Privilegiamos o tipo de estudo - revisão bibliográfica, ao destacar a questão da poluição sonora a partir do texto-base elaborado por Pimentel-Souza sobre o tema. Salientamos que o excesso de ruído gera problemas de coração, por exemplo hipertensão e infarto, e doenças infecciosas devido à queda da resistência imunológica do organismo, além de problemas mentais e psicológicos prejudicando o desenvolvimento acadêmico. O ruído a partir de 55 decibéis (dB) (A) provoca estresse leve; o estresse degradativo do organismo começa a cerca de 65 (dB) (A) provocando desequilíbrio bioquímico, principalmente quando apesar dos esforços para a resolução do problema, a ameaça persiste, sendo assim, os níveis de cortisol chegam a graus exorbitantes e o estresse ao se tornar crônico, começa a degradar o corpo e o cérebro, conduzindo à exaustão rapidamente e aumentando o risco de morte por todo tipo de doença degenerativa. Ressaltamos a importância da Vigilância Sanitária em suas ações no sentido de eliminar, diminuir ou prevenir riscos à saúde intervindo nos problemas sanitários decorrentes do meio ambiente para que se possa ter e manter a sadia qualidade de vida e o meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado.

Authors: Akita Arthur Henrique de Oliveira , Alves Maria Lúcia D'Arbo
Published: January 2024

A glândula tireóide normal é uma estrutura homogênea na qual, com certa frequência aparecem nódulos. Quando estes nódulos são maiores que 1 cm, eles costumam ser detectados pela palpação e, um exame bem feito pode detectá-los em até 4% da população. Quando esta glândula passa por uma carência de iodo, ela aumenta a sua massa glandular (bócio) o que promove a indução de T3 e eleva a síntese e a liberação do hormônio TSH.

Published: January 2024

Cyclic Alternating Pattern of Encephalopathy (CAPE) is rare EEG phenomenon first described in 1944 in a comatose patient. It is similar to sleep EEG pattern of cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) which is a periodic electroencephalogram activity of non-REM sleep. The cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) is defined by sequences of transient electrocortical events that are different from the tonic background and repeat at intervals of up to one minute. CAPE, however, is abnormal EEG pattern. In this pattern of EEG abnormality slow wave activity of 1-2Hz alternates with fast activity of 6-10 hertz. Here we present a case of patient with CNS infection on mechanical ventilation whose EEG showed the above-mentioned pattern.

Der vorliegende Band untersucht kulturelle Aushandlungsprozesse im Gefolge der Okkupation Bosniens und der Herzegowina (1878) durch Österreich-Ungarn. Der unerwartet blutige Eroberungsfeldzug hatte ein halbe Million Musliminnen und Muslime zu Untertanen Kaiser Franz Josephs gemacht. Eine Annäherung an die Befindlichkeiten dieser Bevölkerungsgruppe sollte die Bildung habsburgischer Hegemonie auf ehemals feindlichem Terrain begünstigen. Die Politik der Versöhnung fand über das Medium der Architektur auch Niederschlag in den bosnischen Stadtbildern. Binnen eines Jahrzehnts kristallisierte sich ein Mischstil heraus, der als Anerkennung der andersgearteten kulturellen Tradition des Landes verstanden wurde.

Published: January 2024

El envejecimiento afecta no solo el cuerpo, sino también la sexualidad. Estereotipos limitan la expresión sexual, particularmente en mujeres mayores. La investigación escasa en mujeres latinoamericanas mayores dificulta comprender la complejidad biopsicosocial de la sexualidad en la vejez, requiriendo un enfoque integral. Estructurar una síntesis actualizada que explore la compleja dinámica entre el envejecimiento y la sexualidad y resalte las características y desafíos específicos que enfrentan las mujeres en este contexto. Estudio descriptivo que analizó fuentes de bases de datos como Scielo, Medigraphic, Open Journal Systems, Elsevier, LILACS y Science Direct, y libros clave. Se empleó el gestor bibliográfico Mendeley y se seleccionaron 32 fuentes relevantes en español e inglés, publicadas en los últimos 5 años. Se abordaron el envejecimiento y la sexualidad en mujeres mayores. Se exploró el envejecimiento como un proceso multidimensional, influido por factores biológicos, psicológicos y sociales. La sexualidad, ligada a la identidad, el placer y las relaciones, fue examinada con énfasis en la menopausia, los cambios físicos, aspectos psicosociales y culturales. Se discutieron roles como cuidadoras, abuelas, patologías comunes, influencias culturales latinoamericanas y estigmatización, resaltando la importancia de abordar el edadismo y los desafíos únicos que enfrentaban las mujeres mayores. El envejecimiento afecta dimensiones vitales, dentro de aquello la sexualidad se ve especialmente impactada, sobretodo en mujeres mayores.  Desafíos en roles tradicionales, junto con condiciones fisiológicas y patológicas, complican su bienestar sexual. Además, el estigma cultural en América Latina agrava estas experiencias, limitando su expresión y visibilidad social.
Aprendizaje innovador: El encuentro entre construccionismo, conectivismo y tecnologías disruptivas
Authors: Delgado Soto Gilda Mabel , López Solano Hernán Darío , Montejo Garzón Katherine Johana
Published: January 2024

Este artículo ofrece al lector una revisión rigurosa y sistemática de la literatura reciente en torno a la innovación educativa a través de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC). Los autores presentaron un análisis de dos paradigmas educativos que buscan comprender la manera en que los individuos aprenden en un contexto altamente interrelacionado con las TIC: El construccionismo de Papert y el conectivismo de Siemens. Este ejercicio académico apuntó a mostrar las características principales de cada uno de los modelos educativos, sus fortalezas, oportunidades, y diferencias, así como la sinergia que produce la implementación de estas teorías en la educación actual.  Este contexto epistemológico permite entender la apropiación de diversas tecnologías disruptivas en educación, que fomentan el aprendizaje autónomo, el liderazgo, la creatividad y la codificación y resignificación del mundo. Entre el amplio mosaico de herramientas y plataformas que integran este grupo de tecnologías, los autores analizan la Inteligencia Artificial (IA), la Realidad Virtual (RV) y la Realidad Aumentada (RA), por su inmensa capacidad para ofrecer experiencias inmersivas y personalizadas. La IA ha permitido la creación de sistemas adaptativos de aprendizaje, que ajustan el contenido y la metodología de enseñanza según las necesidades individuales del estudiante, maximizando así su comprensión y retención. Por otro lado, la RV y la RA han llevado la educación más allá de las limitaciones físicas de las aulas, sumergiendo a los alumnos en entornos simulados que facilitan la comprensión de conceptos abstractos y fomentan la exploración activa. Esta convergencia tecnológica ha reconfigurado la dinámica educativa, promoviendo la interactividad, la creatividad y el acceso a recursos educativos en formas antes inimaginables.
Demokratische Technikgestaltung in der Arbeitswelt
Authors: FREY PHILIPP , GNISA FELIX , NIERLING LINDA
Published: January 2024

Der Beitrag beleuchtet Ansätze für die aktive Gestaltung technologischer Innovation im Sinne von Beschäftigten. Dazu werden zwei Szenarien demokratischer Technikgestaltung im Betrieb rekonstruiert. Anhand des historischen Falles von Lucas Aerospace und des aktuellen Arbeitskonflikts von GKN Florenz wird gezeigt, wie im Rahmen belegschaftsgetriebener Konversionspläne eine konfliktive Aneignung von Innovationskompetenzen durch Belegschaften erfolgen kann, die auf die Demokratisierung betrieblicher Entscheidungsfindung abzielt. Anhand der baskischen Industriegenossenschaft Mondragón MCC und der Plattformgenossenschaft CoopCycle wird das Potenzial demokratischer Unternehmensführung für eine progressive Arbeitspolitik und Technikgestaltung im Betrieb erläutert. Beide Szenarien geben Hinweise darauf, wie der digitale Wandel eigenständig durch Beschäftigte und Mitbestimmungsakteure gestaltet werden kann. Der Beitrag endet mit dem Plädoyer für eine doppelte Transformation betrieblicher Innovation, die sowohl zur gelingenden Gestaltung der Digitalisierung als auch zur Demokratisierung betrieblicher Governance dienen kann.

Je gesellschaftsprägender die Universität, desto mehr wird sie sozialisiert und entzünden sich an ihr soziale Auseinandersetzungen – erst wenn beides zusammentrifft, befinden wir uns in einer Wissensgesellschaft. Keine andere Institution steht für die Wissensgesellschaft so wie die Universität: Sie ist ihr gesellschaftsprägender Dreh- und Angelpunkt, stellt doch Hochschulbildung mittlerweile in vielen Ländern den Normalbildungsstandard dar. Die Universität erbringt für Politik, Wirtschaft, Recht und alle anderen Felder Leistungen, ohne die diese nicht mehr auskommen: wissenschaftliche Expertise, Innovationen, gerichtsfestes Wissen und vieles mehr. Auf diese Weise wirkt sie in diesen Feldern mit und wird von ihnen sozialisiert. Damit geht einher, dass sie in wachsendem Maße kritisiert und zunehmend grundsätzlich angegriffen wird: Die Geltung und Nützlichkeit wissenschaftlichen Wissens wird bestritten und Hochschulbildung als „Elitenprojekt“ skandalisiert. Dies mag verstörend sein, aber auch darin beweist sich die immens gestiegene gesellschaftliche Bedeutsamkeit der Universität.

Nephrotic Syndrome is a glomerular disease characterized by edema, massive proteinuria >3.5 grams/day, hypoalbuminemia <3.5 grams/day, hypercholesterolemia, and lipiduria. Nephrotic syndrome has a variety of metabolic effects that impact the individual. Some episodes of nephrotic syndrome are self-limited, and some respond to specific therapy, while others are chronic. A 49 year old female patient complained of frequent sweats at night and chills in the morning. Then, the patient complained that his legs had been swollen since he left the hospital until now. Apart from that, edema also occurs in the lower extremities. The management given is general management such as rest, low cholesterol, low salt, fluid restriction <1500ml, and a protein diet. Treatment of edema with diuretics, treatment of proteinuria, treatment of hypertension and history of stroke, as well as causal treatment according to the etiology of nephrotic syndrome. The patient has undergone management planning and treatment therapy for nephrotic syndrome.
NONTUBERCULOUS MYCOBACTERIA DIVERSITY IN KARST WATERS AND BIOFILMS IN BULGARIAN CAVES
Authors: Atanasova Yuliana , Antova Rayna , Boyanova Lyubomira , Grigorova Lyubomira , Yordanova Stanislava
Published: January 2024

Background: Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging pathogens causing opportunistic infections in humans and animals. Their distribution in the waters and caves of Bulgaria is poorly studied. Climatic changes are associated with changes in the amplitudes of ambient and water temperature, as well as changes in the amount of precipitation which play an essential role in the creation of reservoirs of some types of NTM in the environment.
Material and Methods: We optimized the methods for successful isolation of environmental NTM and then used molecular genetic methods for identification.
Results: A total of 235 samples (karst water, sediments, soil, bat guano) were collected in some caves of the following karst regions: 203 in Vratsa Karst area, 204 in Ponor Karst area, 205 in Bezdenski area and 303 in Karst and caves of Bosnek region. Primary isolation of mycobacteria by Löwenstein–Jensen at room temperature was more successful than on liquid media at 37°C. We identified NTM in 10% (n=24) from these materials. Diverse NTM included: M. chelonae (n=3), M. gordonae (n=2), M. intermedium (n=3), M. scrofulaceum (n=1), M. szulgai (n=4), M. fortuitum group (n=4), NTM mix culture (n=5), M. terrae complex (n=1), Mycobacterium sp. (n=1). Rapidly growing NTM (M. chelonae, M. fortuitum group) were the most common. The isolates belonged to group of environmental saprophytes (Risk group 1) and potential pathogens (Risk group 2).
Conclusions: We successfully implemented a procedure for decontamination and isolation of NTM from the environment. For the first time in the country, NTM species were identified in biofilms, karst waters, soil and bat guano within caves. The presence of NTM in cave ecosystems represents a potential source for human infection.
Modifikasi Ducted Fan untuk Kebutuhan Pengarah Aliran Semprotan Pupuk Cair

Published: January 2024

The use of agricultural drones has now experienced significant development. However, in its use it is often considered less effective because the liquid fertilizer sprayed through the nozzle tip is not on target. Then we need an additional tool in the form of a ducted fan which can increase the speed of the flow of fertilizer sprayed through the nozzle. This study uses a modification and reconstruction method of the ducted fan model that is already on the market so that it can be used as a flow guide. The modifications made are in the form of adding a cone with a size according to the hub and a height of 5 mm and a stator which is almost the same size as the fan which is around 65 mm and has the reverse direction, namely counter clock wise which functions as a flow guide. The results of the CFD research that has been carried out can be seen that the flow velocity at the outlet is 5.38394 m/s and the width of the flow which was originally 0.113791 m became 0.021235 m. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the fluid flow passing through the ducted fan looks smaller and directional so that it is in accordance with the purpose of the modifications that have been made and the flow speed increases so that the flow does not fly with the wind.

The corn harvesting tractor is one of the innovations in agricultural technology. However, there is a problem where the harvesting blade is broken and wears out quickly. One of the factors causing the problem is the angle of inclination of the blade. The smaller the angle of inclination of the blade, the sharper it is but the risk of being easily broken and worn out. For this reason, it is necessary to test the value of the blade slope which has a good strength value. Before this knife is made directly, it is necessary to design and simulate the strength of the blade with a variety of angles. Experimental testing requires expensive costs and a lot of time. The simulation carried out is a static simulation with the finite element method in the solidwork application with AISI 1045 material and 87.05 N force load. The blade with an angle of 310 is the best angle with the maximum value of stress at the connection of the shaft and knife with a value of 20.664 MPa and the displacement results are at a maximum value of 0.018 mm.

I thought I would take this column to answer a few introductory questions from the DttP editor. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any additional questions and I hope to see you all in-person or at a GODORT virtual event soon!
HIPAA and Telehealth: Protecting Health Information in a Digital World
Authors: Kovac Melissa
Published: January 2024

In 1996, the Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted to protect the privacy and security of patients’ protected health information. Since then, technology has taken health information far beyond paper medical records and grainy faxes. As telehealth, in the forms of electronic health records, virtual visits, apps, and wearable devices, has increased in popularity, HIPAA clearly is no longer sufficient to guarantee the privacy of the health information it was enacted to protect. Updates to HIPAA are necessary, and those updates should be made with future technological advancements in mind.

Art in a Medium-Sized University Library
Authors: Benedetti Susannah , Wu Annie , Hayes Sherman
Published: January 2024

In 2001, the William Madison Randall Library at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington found itself with a substantial collection of art, acquired over time through gifts and purchases to augment existing collections of faculty scholarship and regional materials. What had been tracked in a simple administrative database had become a collection deserving improved access. This paper outlines the acquisition, cataloging, and access issues that shaped the evolution of the art works from their status first as decoration on the library walls, then as fully cataloged library materials in the online catalog, then as digitized images available in a searchable Web tour. Explored are the reasons behind the collection development push and the methods of acquisition, how and why the collection outgrew its original inventory database, and why the university librarian turned to catalog librarians for solutions to improve access by utilizing and linking data existing in separate databases. The paper offers implications and lessons learned that could assist other libraries that may face such a challenge, as well as a literature review of the issues faced in art documentation. Randall Library’s experience illustrates how a decision to invest in cataloging an unusual medium can go beyond the basics of author and subject access to create an unusually valuable foundation for promotional, curricular, and Web-based ventures.
