Interculturalidade como espaço de construção de relações interétnicas decoloniais: reflexões a partir de projeto de extensão em escolas públicas
Authors: Altmann Lori , Zwetsch Roberto Ervino
Published: November 2024

O Brasil, historicamente, se constituiu sobre a escravidão indígena e de africanos e afro-brasileiros, o que gerou uma sociedade racista e extremamente desigual. A luta dos povos indígenas e de escravos africanos pela liberdade nunca deixou de existir, apesar da crueldade imposta a estes povos pelo sistema colonial e neocolonial. A experiência de realizar um projeto de extensão enfocando a história indígena em escolas da rede pública do município de Pelotas, no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, concretizando os objetivos da Lei 11.645, de março de 2008, vem demonstrando que é possível envolver crianças e jovens numa nova abordagem dessa realidade histórica, principalmente quando se abre a oportunidade de ouvir nas salas de aula estudantes universitários e lideranças indígenas que falam de suas histórias e culturas, a partir de um diálogo criativo e desafiador.  Docentes de escolas públicas igualmente estão envolvidos em um processo de formação continuada que lhes habilita a darem continuidade aos temas abordados, conforme preveem os projetos pedagógicos dos cursos. A abordagem teórica deste artigo faz referência aos estudos decoloniais e interculturais.

Este trabalho relata um estudo de caso de identificação de dentes humanos, provenientes de um enterramento indígena no centro do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A partir de um enterramento arqueológico depositado no Museu Arqueológico Walter Ilha, no município de São Pedro do Sul, a equipe do Laboratório de Arqueologia, Sociedades e Culturas das Américas – LASCA - UFSM, juntamente a professores dos departamentos de Odontologia e Morfologia, realizaram a curadoria arqueológica sobre os vestígios humanos depositados em urna funerária e identificação dos remanescentes humanos para determinação de número mínimo de indivíduos. A análise da mineralização dentária utilizando os estágios de Nolla permitiu identificar que os dentes pertenciam a dois indivíduos diferentes, com idades entre 6/7 anos e 8/10 anos. Esta identificação coloca em aberto a possibilidade de sepultamentos secundários de mais de um indivíduo em uma mesma vasilha, diferente dos dados históricos e arqueológicos existentes até o momento.

Published: November 2024

This paper deals with the implementation of creative activities in early and preschool education institutions with an emphasis on working with children with disabilities. The empirical part of the paper presents the results of research obtained on a sample of educators from the Primorje-Gorski Kotar and Istria counties. Taking into account distinctive characteristics of working with children with disabilities, the questionnaire “Creativity in Kindergarten” was constructed, and the instrument was validated (α = 0.959). The results of the conducted research indicate the importance of developing cognitive, emotional and social skills and abilities of children with disabilities. Educators agree that creative activities involving music, art, reading or storytelling encourage creative thinking, imagination, telling and reading stories, development of speech, communication, motor skills, expression of emotions and interaction with peers. According to the obtained data, we can conclude that educators’ attitudes towards the implementation of creative activities with children with disabilities in the kindergarten are extremely positive, and that educators are motivated to adapt methods and content. This research can be used to improve the educational process and ensure better planning and encouragement of the achievements of children with disabilities in regular kindergarten groups.
Thermal conductivity of Al2O3 nanofluid utilizing cross-linked polyacrylic acid (PAA) as the base fluid: An experimental study
Authors: Fauzi Roslinda , Daik Rusli , Fauzi Basirah , Mamauod Siti Nur Liyana
Published: November 2024

The thermal conductivity was measured for Al2O3 nanofluid using a newly developed polymeric base fluid. The novel base fluid of cross-linked polyacrylic acid (PAA) solutions was synthesized via radical polymerization using a distinct deep eutectic solvent (DES). Five weight concentrations of Al2O3 nanoparticles, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25 wt%, were dispersed in the polymeric fluid via two dispersing techniques. In the first step, the nanoparticles were stirred using magnetic stirring for 1 h, followed by the sonication technique for another hour to ensure the nanoparticles were well suspended in the base fluid. A KD2 Pro thermal analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of each concentration for the temperature from 30 to 70 °C. The experimental data demonstrated a correlation between thermal conductivity and nanoparticle weight fraction. The results showed that the thermal conductivity increased with the increment of Al2O3 concentration for all set temperatures. The study revealed that the polymeric base fluid could replace the conventional base fluid since the thermal conductivity results were comparable with those reported in the literature.
Chemical constituents and bioactivity studies of two Polytrichaceae species, Polytrichum formosum Hedw. and Polytrichum commune Hedw
Authors: Okan Onur Tolga
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to assess the chemical composition, specifically metal content, phenolics, and fatty acids, of two bryophyte species, Polytrichum formosum and Polytrichum commune, which belong to the Polytrichaceae family. The bioactivities of these species were also evaluated. Microwave plasma atomic emission spectroscopy was used to analyze 13 elements, revealing the presence of 10 elements at varying concentrations in both species. Iron (Fe) was the most prominent element in P. formosum, with a concentration of 7610 mg/kg, whereas calcium (Ca) was the most prominent element in P. commune, at a concentration of 8430 mg/kg. The high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of 53 phenolic compounds, with quinic acid, protocatechuic acid, and fisetin being the most prominent with concentrations of 4.45, 2.26, and 1.46 mg analyte/g extract, respectively. When evaluated for total phenolic content, P. commune had a higher concentration of phenolic compounds than P. formosum. The fatty acid profile obtained via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis revealed higher concentrations of oleic acid (36.6% for P. formosum and 38.0% for P. commune) and palmitic acid (35.5% for P. formosum and 33.8% for P. commune). Three independent assays assessed the antioxidant capacities of both plants, which revealed significant antioxidant potential in both species.
Analysis of revenue distribution of assembly building under EPC model based on entropy weight-TOPSIS improved Shapley value
Authors: Yue Yanming , Wang Shuo , Que Zeli
Published: November 2024

Prefabricated construction has rapidly developed due to its efficiency and environmental benefits. With the widespread application of the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) model, achieving fair and reasonable distribution of profits in prefabricated construction projects under this model has become an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. In response to the limitations of the traditional Shapley value method, this paper introduces input factors, technological factors, and management factors to develop an improved profit distribution model based on entropy-weighted TOPSIS and the Shapley value. A case study is presented to validate the model. Results of the study show that the improved Shapley value method balances the earnings with the actual contribution and achieves a fair and reasonable earnings distribution.

Published: November 2024

Electricity is the foundation of modern society, powering a vast array of daily activities and technological advancements. Despite increased electricity access, the majority of Sub-Saharan African countries face the dilemma of energy consumption outpacing generation. Gaining a good grasp of behavioral drivers of energy use, especially among middle-income households (MIHs), is necessary to reduce energy consumption. This study assesses the electricity consumption from MIHs in a targeted area of Masaki, Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania. The study integrated the household characteristics and electrical load consumption patterns in the electricity consumption of MIHs. The 1-month data, between May 2024 and June 2024, were gathered from 99 respondents using an e-questionnaire. The household characteristics included the number of occupants per household, awareness of energy management programs, adoption rate, and interested features and expectations in energy management programs. The electrical load consumption patterns include types of electrical loads, hourly usage, average monthly bills, and fluctuations in monthly energy bills. Findings revealed that the average number of occupants per household was 6, but only two out of 6 occupants per household were aware of energy management programs. Appliance control was the most adopted energy management program (44.12%) followed by real-time energy monitoring (11.76%) and integration with renewable energy sources (8.82%). Contrary, about 96% of respondents were interested in engaging in energy management initiatives aiming at cost-saving (62%) and convenience (20.7%). Evening hours reported to use the most energy (68.7%), followed by night hours (50.5%). The average monthly energy bills were found to range between TZS 70,000 and TZS 300,000 with 48.5% of respondents reporting large swings in their electricity expenses. The findings of this study provide policymakers with evidence that awareness initiatives should be included when formulating energy consumption and efficiency strategies.

Published: November 2024

In the context of the industry 4.0, defined by highly personalized processes, there’s a rising interest of technologies related to the extraction of data of the process in real time to better decide future actions i.e. define more efficient and productive configurations of the industrial plant. From this, Cyber-physical systems such as digital twins are the most suited technology to follow the process performance through data and reliably validate different outcomes from simulations. Furthermore, COBOTs that can adapt to the environment are ideal to deal with such changing demands which have to work alongside industrial robots. Therefore, this study aims to use the digital twin capabilities of data extraction and simulation from the FANUC’s robot simulator software to validate the performance of industrial and collaborative robots in order to offer insights to better apply each type of robot. It was used a robotic cell with the robot PRBT 6 as a reference to make 2 digital twins of the cell with 2 different robot models, one collaborative and one industrial. Two digital twins were made using ROBOGUIDE simulator, version 9.4 for the COBOT and version 9.1 for the industrial robot. It’s presented the method used to build the digital twin of the robotic cell and the results show that the cycle time of the COBOT’s cell is significantly higher than the industrial one but has higher flexibility.

Urethral stricture is a prevalent condition that often has a major physical and psychological impact on patients. Current treatment includes minimally invasive techniques for mild cases and reconstructive surgery for more severe conditions. However, the objective assessment of surgical outcomes lacks a specific questionnaire validated in Portuguese, although this tool has been available since 2011.
The role of fibroblast growth factor 23 in the assessment of complications in chronic kidney disease
Authors: Nikolova, Dilyana , Koleva eselina
Published: November 2024

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is an early-stage complication of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). It is associated with disorders in bone metabolism, calcium deposition in vessels and organs, significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and death. In recent years, an increasingly important role has been attributed to fibroblast growth factor (FGF 23) in regulating calcium/phosphate homeostasis, hyperparathyroidism, and its relation to vascular calcification, and left ventricular hypertrophy.

This study conducted with 110 patients with varying degrees of renal insufficiency shows an increase in FGF23 and PTH when there is a decrease in glomerular filtration, a direct dependency between the levels of phosphate and PTH and FGF23, and a lack of such between calcium and PTH and FGF23.

Of particular interest is the fact that patients treated with Calcitriol and Paricalcitol show a reduction in PTH levels, yet maintain high levels of FGF23. PTH serves as a marker for the rate of bone remodeling in patients, where elevated levels indicate renal bone disease. The analysis of FGF 23 is crucial in evaluating cardiovascular risk.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes substantial hospitalization in US infants. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended nirsevimab in infants younger than 8 months born during or entering their first RSV season and for children aged 8 to 19 months at increased risk of RSV hospitalization in their second season. This study's objective was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of nirsevimab in all infants in their first RSV season and in high-risk children in their second season.

METHODS

We simulated healthcare utilization and deaths from RSV with and without nirsevimab among infants aged 0 to 7 months and those 8 to 19 months old over a single RSV season. Data came from published literature, US Food and Drug Administration approval documents, and epidemiologic surveillance data. We evaluated societal outcomes over a lifetime discounting at 3% and reporting in 2022 US dollars. Sensitivity and scenario analyses identified influential variables.

RESULTS

We estimated that 107 253 outpatient visits, 38 204 emergency department visits, and 14 341 hospitalizations could be averted each year if half of the US birth cohort receives nirsevimab. This would cost $153 517 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) saved. Nirsevimab in the second season for children facing a 10-fold higher risk of hospitalization would cost $308 468 per QALY saved. Sensitivity analyses showed RSV hospitalization costs, nirsevimab cost, and QALYs lost from RSV disease were the most influential parameters with cost-effectiveness ratios between cost-saving and $323 788 per QALY saved.

CONCLUSIONS

Nirsevimab for infants may be cost-effective, particularly among those with higher risks and costs of RSV.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is highly prevalent and the final stage of the disease is the Critical Ischemia (CI) of the Lower Limbs (LL), culminating, in most cases, with amputation of the limbs as part of the proposed treatment. Infrared Thermography (IT) is an inexpensive method, painless, without emission of radiation and easy to manage, which aims to determine the temperature of the skin of the limb to be amputated, and could help the surgeon to evaluate the level of the lower limb amputation. Objective: To Evaluate Whether IT is a useful method to determine the level of lower limb amputation in patients with PAD and CI. Method: Prospective cohort study performed from April 2023 to November 2023, at the Unit of vascular surgery - Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal (Brasília-DF). It evaluated patients with PAD and CI that were in the preoperative period for lower limb amputation. All Patients Underwent IT evaluation standards protocols. Results: The results showed a wider longitudinal thermal gradient in PAD smoking (S) patients compared to non-smokers. It was also observed that (S) patients with wide thermal gradients were more likely to undergo an above the knee amputation. Conclusion: Infrared thermography was a useful method in discriminating thermal differences in patients with PAD and CI could be employed in preoperative evaluation to choose the level of lower limb amputation. Smoking patients with greater longitudinal thermal gradients are more likely to undergo an above the knee amputations.

Authors: GADELHA GABRIEL CARVALHO ANDRADE , CARVALHO JÚNIOR ARLINDO MONTEIRO DE
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Introduction: The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review on the efficacy of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5Is) in rehabilitating erectile function in patients undergoing cavernous nerve sparing radical prostatectomy (NSRP). Methods: The databases used were MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, LILACS and Web of Science. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses on the subject were included until March 5, 2024, with no language restrictions. Publications that did not address any of the aforementioned relationships were excluded. The data was organized into tables for descriptive analysis. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the ROBIS tool. Results: Eight studies were selected and all concluded that the use of PDE-5Is is effective in penile rehabilitation. Only one of the reviews found that use for more than six months was superior to short-term use, and another concluded that daily use was superior to on-demand use. In addition, the articles identified more adverse effects in the experimental group compared to the control group, but without compromising therapeutic adherence. Six of the studies were classified as low risk of bias, while the other two had uncertain risk. Conclusion: PDE-5Is are effective in restoring erectile function in patients undergoing NSRP, especially when used regularly and over the long term, and follow-up is not hampered by adverse effects. However, due to the scarcity of data, new studies should be carried out to determine the best form of use of these drugs.

RESUMO Introdução: Todas as formas de acesso a cavidade peritoneal na laparoscopia possuem riscos de lesionar as estruturas intra-abdominais. Atualmente, a ultrassonografia (USG) está sendo utilizada em diversos procedimentos para direcionar algum tipo de punção: biópsia de mama, acesso venoso central, bloqueios anestésicos de nervos etc. Diante disso, esta pesquisa busca verificar a factibilidade e viabilidade da realização do pneumoperitônio por punção guiada por USG, em um estudo piloto em modelo porcino. Métodos: O estudo experimental foi feito com uma amostra de 10 porcas anestesiadas, no laboratório do IRCAD-América Latina Unidade de Barretos. O experimento consistiu na punção abdominal guiado por USG com transdutor linear para confecção do pneumoperitônio. Após a punção, foi realizado o teste da gota e insuflado CO2 na cavidade, posteriormente, um trocarte de 10mm foi introduzido para inserção da óptica. Os parâmetros a partir do USG foram: as espessuras das camadas da parede abdominal; medida da agulha intraperitoneal; teste da gota; e presença de complicações. Resultados: A mensuração da média das camadas foi de 0,45 centímetros (cm) de subcutâneo, 0,67cm de muscular e 0,15cm de peritônio. A média da medida da agulha intraperitoneal foi de 1,17cm. Ademais, o teste da gota foi positivo em 100% dos casos e não houve sangramento ou lesões em nenhuma tentativa. Conclusão: É factível e seguro a realização de pneumoperitônio guiado por ultrassonografia no modelo porcino. As camadas subcutâneas, muscular e peritônio são identificáveis e mensuráveis no modelo. Estudos subsequentes são necessários para verificar a importância deste novo procedimento.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify variables related to perceived stress and resilience of international migrants. Method: Multicenter, observational, cross-sectional study carried out with 403 migrants residing in Brazil, Spain, or Portugal. The following instruments were used to collect data: Perceived Stress Scale and Resilience Scale. Student's t-test and analysis of variance were applied in the analysis. Results: Perceived stress was related to: living in Brazil or Portugal; shorter stay in the host country; being black or brown; and having no religion. Greater resilience was related to: not being divorced; having less education and lower family income; being from developing countries; living in Spain; and having a religion. Conclusion: Aspects such as host and origin country, skin color, income, marital status, education, length of stay in the host country, and religion are related to the level of stress and/or resilience of migrants. Knowing this profile is useful for developing public integration policies and interventions that seek to reduce stress and improve resilience.
Resíduos sagrados: inovações rituais e oferendas afro-brasileiras na era da crise ambiental
Authors: Capponi Giovanna
Published: November 2024

Resumo: Nas religiões afro-brasileiras, as oferendas são geralmente despachadas em florestas, rios ou no oceano, reforçando a conexão entre as divindades e seus domínios naturais. Entretanto, com a disseminação de preocupações éticas sobre a conservação do meio ambiente, a composição das oferendas e a prática ritual estão se adaptando para atender aos critérios de sustentabilidade. Essas novas abordagem à cultura material são tanto uma estratégia para neutralizar as acusações de poluição do meio ambiente feitas por oponentes políticos e religiosos, quanto de reafirmar as religiões afro-brasileiras como “religiões da natureza” no âmbito do ativismo social e ambiental. Com base em dados de pesquisa coletados em diferentes terreiros de umbanda e candomblé nas regiões de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as renegociações e tensões entre tradição e inovação na era da sustentabilidade.

Published: November 2024

Resumen El presente artículo explora la relación entre el pensamiento del filósofo francés Félix Guattari (1930-1992) y el poeta chileno Juan Luis Martínez (1942-1993). Analizo dos de los temas o problemas que aparecen durante el encuentro entre ellos en el contexto de la visita de Guattari a Chile en 1991: la concepción del autor y la filosofía del libro. Planteo que existe una notoria resonancia y diálogo entre sus posturas críticas de la autoría individual y la concepción del libro tradicional. Exploro, asimismo, sus diferencias productivas, relativas a sus diversos lugares de enunciación (Francia y Chile) y a la radicalidad con que Martínez llevó a cabo su crítica a la autoría individual. Por último, planteo que los libros de artista de Martínez generan una concepción materialista del libro rizoma.
Forum on Recognition in Foreign Policy (Analysis) and (The Study of) Diplomacy
Authors: Guzzini Stefano , Opondo Sam Okoth , Smith Karen
Published: November 2024

Abstract What if the quest for recognition, not power, rank or security, were the overriding objective of foreign policies? What if practices of recognition both empower and subjugate by fixing identities and reproducing the terms upon which agents become recognisable in the first place? Can recognition as encounter become the diplomatic task of, and condition for, a post-colonial international order? This Forum addresses some implications of putting recognition at the centre of foreign policy (analysis) and (the study of) diplomacy. A first intervention on recognition and domination provides the dual theoretical backdrop. On the one hand, theories of recognition are understood as a specific theory of action that remedies some of the shortcomings of rational choice theories within Foreign Policy Analysis. On the other hand, recognition can be the basis of a political theory of diplomacy co-constitutive of international order, where it corresponds to an ethical strategy both reproducing yet also addressing relations of domination. A second intervention exemplifies the implication for foreign policy analysis. It analyses the foreign policy of South Africa as a pursuit of relational recognition, in which the relevant circle of recognition is not that of great power status within international society at large, but the more immediate African environment in which also self-recognition is achieved. The concluding intervention places recognition into diplomatic theory. It analyses the necessity and yet inherent pitfalls of recognition without encounter through the colonial (non-)recognition practices, exemplified through the treatment of the Abyssinian Emperor Tewodros II by the British Empire.1

Authors: Tangirala Nishanta , Hewawasam Erandi , Davies Christopher E. , Poprzeczny Amanda , Sullivan Elizabeth , McDonald Stephen P. , Jesudason Shilpanjali
Published: November 2024

Key Points

Women with kidney transplantation had higher rates of cesarean sections, deliveries without labor, and vaginal delivery complications.

Women with a kidney transplant had more cesarean sections, even after accounting for maternal factors, preterm delivery, and past cesarean sections.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and breech presentation were the main drivers of planned cesarean section delivery among transplant recipients.

Background

Factors influencing high cesarean section rates among mothers with a kidney transplant remain unclear.

Methods

Using linked Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (1970–2016) and perinatal datasets (1991–2013), we compared deliveries of women with a functioning kidney transplant with those without KRT (non-KRT).

Results

Of 2,946,851 babies (1,627,408 mothers), 211 were born to 137 mothers with a kidney transplant. Overall cesarean section rates were twice more frequent in the transplant cohort (63% versus 26% non-KRT; P < 0.001) across all gestational periods compared with the non-KRT cohort and highest in preterm births (≥37 weeks, 48% versus 25%; P < 0.001, 33–36 weeks, 77% versus 40%; P < 0.001, and <33 weeks, 75% versus 41%; P < 0.001). Cesarean section rates remained higher after adjusting for maternal factors (incidence rate ratio, 1.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 1.7). In women with a kidney transplant with past pregnancy, 53% with no previous cesarean sections had a cesarean section in the current pregnancy (versus 19% non-KRT; P < 0.001). Mothers with a kidney transplant had less spontaneous labor (30% versus 63%; P < 0.001) and more planned deliveries (induced or elective cesarean sections; 70% versus 36%; P < 0.001) than non-KRT mothers. Nearly half of the women with transplantation (45%) delivered by nonlabor cesarean sections, mostly occurring preterm (<37 weeks, 70% versus ≥37 weeks, 30%; P = 0.002). In the transplant cohort, the main indications for nonlabor cesarean sections were hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and breech presentation (>50% versus 18% non-KRT cohort; P < 0.001) and were linked to gestational age. Nonlabor cesarean sections for fetal distress were higher in women with transplantation (10% versus 4% non-KRT; P = 0.03). In the non-KRT cohort, previous cesarean sections were the main indication for nonlabor cesarean sections (40% versus 24% transplant; P = 0.06). Postpartum hemorrhage (13% versus 7% non-KRT; P = 0.003) and fetal distress (18% versus 10% non-KRT; P = 0.001) were higher among the transplant cohort.

Conclusions

Women with a kidney transplant have higher rates of cesarean section delivery even after accounting for maternal factors, preterm delivery, and past cesarean sections compared with non-KRT cohorts.
Chomsky, democracia y educación
Authors: Angulo Rasco José Félix , Soler García Cateri , Redon Pantoja Silvia
Published: November 2024

El presente artículo analiza una parte, si bien mínima, es fundamental de la obra inabarcable de Noam Chomsky: su sentido de la educación, así como sus acertadas y severas críticas a la educación institucionalizada. Para ello, situamos a Chomsky como un claro ejemplo de parresiastés, un intelectual distinto, enormemente crítico con lo que ocurre y comprometido, en tanto intelectual, con el conocimiento y la transformación de las injusticias. A su vez, el compromiso de Chomsky como intelectual, es decir, su responsabilidad, le conecta con su defensa de la democracia participativa; una idea de democracia que pueda ser defendida a través de la ciudadanía formada y educada del poder mediático. Pero una democracia con una ciudadanía activa y participativa necesita de una educación a su vez activa y no adoctrinadora, en la que no se nos socialice para aceptar el poder establecido. Aquí, el mismo autor no reconoce, Chomsky se engarza con Dewey, porque al igual que este último, Chomsky considera un imperativo moral averiguar la verdad y difundirla. Una educación que no solo ponga en cuestión los cimientos ocultos de las democracias en las que viven, sino que también suponga una manera de vivir la democracia en su vida escolar.

Authors: Mocanu George Danut , Harabagiu Neculai , Parvu Carmen
Published: November 2024

Background. Attack efficiency in the game of volleyball is of paramount importance in winning competitions.
Objectives. The study aimed to analyse the differences in attack efficiency between teams of varying value levels, according to their position in the ranking.
Materials and methods. All 12 teams participating in the men’s national first league championship were analysed using the Data Volley software. The attack parameters were compared between teams in the first half of the ranking vs teams in the second half. Another comparison was performed for 3 value levels of the top teams (top, middle, and low).  
Results. The Mann-Whitney U test (used to assess the differences between teams in the first half vs. teams in the second half of the ranking) indicates Z values associated with statistically significant thresholds (p < 0.05) for most of the attack indicators, except Blocked but recovered% (p > 0.05). The situation is similar also for the Kruskal-Wallis test, where χ² values indicate significant differences between the three levels of the teams for most of the parameters, except Blocked but recovered%.
Conclusions. The findings reveal the higher values of attack efficiency and its parameters for the teams placed in the top positions of the ranking. The teams in the first half of the ranking have better percentage values on the executions associated with Winning% and Positive%. The attacking players of these teams also demonstrate lower percentage scores on the executions associated with Error%, Blocked attack% and Poor%, thus committing fewer mistakes. The situation is similar when comparing the top vs low and middle vs low pairs, where only for Blocked but recovered% no significant differences have been identified. These results support the need to focus on making the volley attack more efficient as a decisive factor in competitive success.

Os transportadores instalados em indústrias podem ser classificados em fechados, como os pneumáticos e os hidráulicos, enquanto os abertos podem ser de caneca, esteiras e correias. As correias transportadoras apresentam rápida construção, simples instalação, continuidade na movimentação, transporte de diferentes materiais e quantidades. Entretanto, quando mal dimensionadas, podem apresentar perdas excessivas de material e elevado consumo de energia elétrica. A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo geral desenvolver uma bancada experimental de correia transportadora para o estudo do transporte de sólidos particulados. Como objetivos específicos investigou-se a influência da velocidade e do ângulo de inclinação em relação à perda de britas durante o transporte e à potência consumida no eixo do motor elétrico de acionamento do equipamento. Foi utilizada uma amostra de brita zero peneirada na malha de 6,3 milímetros para realização dos ensaios e obtenção de dados. Foram realizados ensaios em triplicata para determinação do ângulo de repouso natural, limite de espalhamento e ângulo de escorregamento da amostra. Foram testados os limites do equipamento, sendo a inclinação mínima de 0º e a máxima de 25º, determinados pelos resultados do ensaio de escorregamento do material à ser transportado. Foram realizados ensaios nos graus de 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 e 25, com velocidades unitárias de 0,5 a 1,0 m/s. Em relação à perda de material, notou-se que quanto maior a inclinação da mesa, maior a dificuldade para todas as britas saírem do alimentador e serem transportadas na correia, formando uma zona morta na alimentação. Os dados obtidos foram plotados em ábacos, com o intuito de facilitar a leitura da potência em função da velocidade da correia, do ângulo de inclinação da mesa e da porcentagem média de perda de material durante o transporte.

Step by step protocol for library preparation of Annonaceae species within the ERC GLOBAL project. This protocol was followed for all libraries prepared within the project. Each step involves a purification phase (AMPure XP protocol), and is detailed at the start of this protocol. The protocol is done per series of 48 samples at a time with indexing. The protocol also describes the steps for the dual hybridization of Daicel Arbor Biosciences Mybaits Angiosperm353 kit + Custom Annonacea baiting kit. The protocol is based on hybridisation protocols used at DIADE research unit IRD Montpellier France and on the Hybridization Capture for Targeted NGS User Manual version 5 protocol "standard" of Daicel Arbor Biosciences Mybaits.

EXTENDING THE BOX METHOD FOR POLYNOMIAL ARITHMETIC
Authors: Lane Jeremy
Published: November 2024

The box method for performing polynomial multiplication is a popular form of demonstrating the process of multiplying polynomials. This method is graphical, but still lacks the inherent simplicity as well as the organization of like terms. It still requires that combining terms with x’s in the table itself. While this method is very well received and beneficial, we shall extend this further to work solely with numbers and let the table tell us how to combine the values.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate polynomial arithmetic using tables similar to those constructed for synthetic division. Our focus will be on addition, subtraction and multiplication. Similar to how synthetic division focuses on the coefficients of the polynomials involved, the tables constructed below shall do the same. The advantage to this technique is that it reduces polynomial arithmetic to numerical arithmetic as the table organizes the terms into like terms. How to construct such tables in order to easily perform the arithmetic for students is our primary effort.
O princípio da insignificância na jurisprudência brasileira
Authors: Cirino dos Santos Juarez
Published: November 2024

O princípio da insignificância pertence ao tipo de injusto do fato punível. O conceito de insignificância não pode ser deformado por elementos subjetivos da culpabilidade, como pretende a definição do Supremo Tribunal Federal. O nível de insignificância em crimes tributários merece aplauso, mas sugere elevação da insignificância em furtos de loja para 50% do salário-mínimo. A jurisprudência de países centrais do capitalismo arquiva furtos de bagatela de 75 euros (R$ 455,00), enquanto o limite no Brasil é 10% do salário-mínimo. As transformações estruturais e institucionais da formação social brasileira exigem urgente revisão do princípio de insignificância na jurisprudência brasileira.
ARI ÖRNEKLİĞİNDE KUR’AN’DA İSBÂT-I VÂCİB

Doğada çok sık karşılaştığımız, dikkatimizi çeken ve hayatımızın bir parçası gibi olan canlılar şüphesiz hayvanlardır. Bunlar arasında yaşamı ve biyolojik süreçleri ibretlerle dolu olan canlıların başında ise bal arısı gelmektedir. Bu araştırmada bal arısının varlığı, özellikleri, doğa ve insanla ilişkisi bilhassa yaratıcının varlığı ve birliği bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Amacımız bal arısındaki birçok farklı sistemi ve yeteneği inceleyerek bu olguların ancak aşkın bir bilinç sahibi olan yüce yaratıcı tarafından gerçekleştirilebileceğini ortaya koymaktır. Bal arısı ve benzeri canlılardaki üstün bilinç gerektiren davranışların yaratıcı ile ilişkisi açısından ele alınması önemlidir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın epistemik çerçevesi oluşturulurken başta Kur’an metnine, bazı hadislere, bilimsel çalışmalara, klasik ve modern isbât-ı vâcib eserlerine müracaat edilmiş, zikredilen metinler doküman analizi yöntemiyle sistematik bir şekilde taranmıştır. Elde edilen veriler temel ilke ve esaslar çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma isbât-ı vâcib bağlamında özel bir konuyu detaylı olarak ele alması, modern verilerden yararlanması ve biyosferdeki canlı sistemlerin yaratıcının varlığına olan lüzumu bağlamında kelam alanına katkısı bakımından önemlidir. Kelam bilginleri ve İslam filozofları kendi dönemindeki inkârcı akımlarla mücadele içinde olmuşlardır. Modern bilimlerin doğuşundan itibaren materyalist-ateist düşünce, dine karşı olma konumunu belirlerken çoğu zaman doğal fenomenler, tabiat bilimleri ve bilimsel ilerlemelerden beslenme iddiasından yola çıkmıştır. O hâlde ateistik akımlar çoğunlukla tezlerini evrendeki doğal fenomenlerden esinlenerek temellendiriyorsa, çağın kelam bilginlerinin de varlığı ve doğal fenomenleri iyice inceledikten sonra farklı bakış açıları geliştirmeleri, yaratıcıya işaret eden ve tesadüfe havalesi mümkün olmayan çarpıcı deliller sunmaları kaçınılmaz bir ihtiyaçtır. Çalışma bu ihtiyacı karşılama açısından geniş literatür taraması, klasik-modern isbât-ı vâcib delillerinden ve modern bilimsel verilerden yararlanması açısından kıymetlidir. İsbât-ı vâcib bağlamında, bal arısının bilhassa modern zamanda gündeme gelen fiziksel olay ve doğal fenomenlerdeki hassas ayar ve canlılardaki tasarım argümanı üzerinden ve ayrıca ekolojik, teleolojik, kozmolojik ve nizam delili bağlamında Tanrı’nın varlığına delil oluş keyfiyeti, Kur’an’ın ilgili ayetlerinden ve modern verilerden yararlanarak sunulmaya gayret edilmiştir. Neticede bal arısındaki yüksek bilinç gerektiren tüm biyolojik sistemlerin ve olağanüstü görüngülerin tümü ancak bir yüce yaratıcının varlığıyla açıklanabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
New nomenclature of allergic diseases and hypersensitivity reactions
Authors: Bychkova Nataliya V.
Published: November 2024

The review presents the current understanding of the mechanisms of initiation and development of hypersensitivity reactions triggered by external factors, based on the new 2023 nomenclature of allergic diseases proposed by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. It details the new concept of hypersensitivity, which systematizes previous classifications and summarizes the new data on the etiology and mechanisms of inflammatory reactions in comparison with diverse immune response variants, based on the concept of disease phenotypes and endotypes. The today’s concept of allergic reactions covers several types: those associated with antibody formation (I–III), cell-mediated reactions (IVa–c) and the Pichler concept, tissue-dependent ones caused by the epithelial barrier defects and metabolism-induced immune dysregulation (V–VI), and direct immunoinflammatory reactions to chemicals (VII). In the updated classification, both adaptive and innate immune responses actively participate in initiation and effector phases of the hypersensitivity reactions. The review highlights the role of regulatory and effector lymphocyte subpopulations and innate lymphoid cells in various types of hypersensitivity. It also reports a pivotal role of epithelial barrier dysfunction in many allergic diseases and the effect of viral infections on their courses. The significance of the metabolic dysregulation and its impact on the immune response is emphasized. According to the nomenclature of allergic reactions, several pathophysiological mechanisms may underlie the development of a same disease. Notably, various hypersensitivity mechanisms involve most cellular and humoral factors, reaffirming the universal biological nature of immune response. As awareness of the new concept grows and clinical and experimental data accumulate, the updated classification of the hypersensitivity types will contribute to a theoretically substantiated and practically effective framework for the prevention, accurate diagnosing, and improved treatment of allergic diseases.

Background and Aims: Our understanding of the clinical outcomes of double balloon enteroscopy in individuals with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is limited. The purpose of this study is to assess double balloon enteroscopy’s effectiveness and safety in managing small intestinal polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome patients. Materials and Methods: Data from 16 Peutz-Jeghers syndrome patients who underwent double balloon enteroscopy at our center between January 2007 and March 2020 have been collected. The study included patients with polyps larger than 1 cm in diameter. Results: Sixteen patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome underwent a total of 79 double balloon enteroscopy procedures, and a total of 469 polyps larger than 1 cm were found in 76 oral/anal double balloon enteroscopies. Over 80 polyps seen in the small intestinal segments were removed using endoscopic polypectomy during intraoperative double balloon enteroscopy. Four patients underwent intraoperative enteroscopy in addition to double balloon enteroscopy and over 200 polyps were removed via endoscopic polypectomy. A total of 19 complications which was related with procedures and anesthesia occurred either during or after the 79 double balloon enteroscopy procedures. All procedure related complications were treated with minimally invasive methods. After double balloon enteroscopy, two patients underwent surgery (one with invagination, the other with adhesion ileus). Conclusion: Double balloon enteroscopy can be considered a reliable and effective method in the diagnosis and long-term follow-up of patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
