Konsep Penegakan Hukum Pidana Adat di Indonesia Berdasarkan Asas Kepastian Hukum
Authors: Bahri Robi Assadul
Published: May 2024

One of the advances in Indonesian criminal law is the recognition of customary criminal law in the New Criminal Code. However, there will be problems in enforcing national criminal law if customary criminal law is accommodated. The problem that will be studied in this research is the consequences of the implementation of customary criminal law in enforcing national criminal law and enforcing customary criminal law in Indonesia that has legal certainty. This research is legal research with a typology of normative/doctrinal legal research which aims to produce a new argument, theory or concept on the problem being studied. The research results show that the application of customary criminal law in enforcing national criminal law will have the potential for disharmonious relations between law enforcement officials and local customary institutions. Therefore, enforcement of customary criminal law in Indonesia with legal certainty can be achieved by reviving the Customary Courts which have the authority to examine and try violations of customary criminal law. This research recommends immediately compiling customary law through regional regulations and immediately enacting a Draft Law on Customary Courts to ensure legal certainty of customary justice in the Indonesian Judicial System.
Le lexique de l'espéranto : origine, stratégie et évolution
Authors: Planchon Philippe
Published: May 2024

À partir d'une classification générale des langues construites (langues auxiliaires internationales ; langues a priori ou a posteriori ; schématiques ou naturalistes), l'article envisage la situation particulière de l'espéranto, qui est passé de l'état de projet de langue à celui de langue vivante. La prise en compte du domaine lexical permet de voir les choix opérés par le concepteur initial de la langue, notamment en termes de convergence et de divergence étymologique, et par suite, de comprendre les potentialités d'évolution offertes aux locuteurs. Nous proposons d'interpréter cette incomplétude initiale de façon positive, comme le résultat d'une stratégie pensée afin de rendre possible l'évolution ultérieure de la langue. Les tendances qui s'efforcent depuis lors de réorganiser le lexique (afin d'augmenter la régularité interne de la langue, ou bien de préserver la fidélité aux langues sources) sont le témoignage de cette position d'équilibre instable initialement souhaitée par le concepteur de la langue.

Teaching hydrogen bridges: it is not FON anymore!
Authors: Lamoureux Guy V. , Chaves-Carballo Katherine
Published: May 2024

Teaching hydrogen bridges (H-bridges) in introductory chemistry courses is either oversimplified or dogmatically taught; the heuristic that ‘only fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen (FON) form H-bridges’ is commonly used, for example. This rule limits choices, does not match reality, and does not clarify the difference between H-bridge donors (HBD) and H-bridge acceptors (HBA) nor intermolecular versus intramolecular cases. Hydrogen fluoride is a significant HBD but a poor HBA. Oxygen is not always an HBD or HBA. Ammonia is a significant HBA but a poor HBD. There are many examples of H-bridges that do not contain these three elements. All examples of H-bridges should be shown in a way to provide symbolic and molecular structures. Is it necessary to ‘explain’ H-bridges in introductory classes? We conclude not, but it might be necessary to increase the total amount of time to present the material so that students do not rely on superficial rules.
Insights into caudate amphibian skin secretions with a focus on the chemistry and bioactivity of derived peptides
Authors: Kröner Lorena , Lötters Stefan , Hopp Marie-T.
Published: May 2024

Amphibians are well-known for their ability to produce and secrete a mixture of bioactive substances in specialized skin glands for the purpose of antibiotic self-protection and defense against predators. Some of these secretions contain various small molecules, such as the highly toxic batrachotoxin, tetrodotoxin, and samandarine. For some time, the presence of peptides in amphibian skin secretions has attracted researchers, consisting of a diverse collection of – to the current state of knowledge – three to 104 amino acid long sequences. From these more than 2000 peptides many are known to exert antimicrobial effects. In addition, there are some reports on amphibian skin peptides that can promote wound healing, regulate immunoreactions, and may serve as antiparasitic and antioxidative substances. So far, the focus has mainly been on skin peptides from frogs and toads (Anura), eclipsing the research on skin peptides of the ca. 700 salamanders and newts (Caudata). Just recently, several novel observations dealing with caudate peptides and their structure-function relationships were reported. This review focuses on the chemistry and bioactivity of caudate amphibian skin peptides and their potential as novel agents for clinical applications.
Gender, number and person: a three-way interaction
Authors: Berg Thomas
Published: May 2024

According to the principle of informativity, more useful information is more likely to be coded than less useful information. This principle underlies Greenberg’s Universals 37 and 45, which state that a larger number of (sex-based) gender contrasts are on average found in singular than in non-singular forms. As an increase in group size lowers the probability of same sex groups, gender-specific personal pronouns are less useful in the non-singular than in the singular. Curiously enough, the principle of informativity also makes the opposite prediction: in the first person, non-singular forms are predicted to show a gender contrast more frequently than singular forms do. Moreover, exclusive forms are predicted to develop gender distinctions more often than inclusive forms. In this paper, these predictions are put to a typological test. A total of 51 languages from 17 different families and 24 different genera has been found in which the first person singular personal pronoun is gender-neutral while one or more of its non-singular counterparts inflect for gender. It is argued that Universals 37 and 45, as well as their counterclaim, are empirically adequate. This apparent paradox dissolves in a three-way interaction of gender, number and person in pronominal paradigms. In keeping with the principle of informativity, there is a bias in favour of gender marking in the third person singular but also a bias in favour of gender marking in the first person non-singular.
Choosing a COVID-19 vaccination site might be driven by anxiety and body vigilance
Authors: Simonović Maja , Stojanović Nikola M. , Novak Sonja , Radisavljević Mirjana , Žikić Olivera , Milenković Tatjana
Published: May 2024

Background

The occurrence of COVID-19 led to the rapid development of several vaccines which were distributed around the world. Even though there had been a vast amount of information about both virus and vaccination, this process was potentially related to increased anxiety and thus affected the vaccination process.

Objective

The present study examined anxiety levels and body vigilance in subjects reporting for COVID-19 vaccination at different vaccination sites.

Methods

Instruments used included general socio-demographic questionnaires and specifically constructed ones such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), body vigilance scale (BVS), and coronavirus anxiety scale (CAS).

Results

A total of 227 subjects enrolled in the study reported mild GAD and CAS scores and relatively low scores on BVS. When the subjects were divided according to a vaccination site (under supervision and non-supervised), it turned out that subjects vaccinated under supervision were more anxious (higher GAD and CAS) and had their body vigilance increased.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there is a need for highlighting the importance of efficient planning and organization of vaccination process, since to a certain extent it is driven by both anxiety and body vigilance.
Experimental study of heat pipes for battery cooling technology in EVs
Authors: Veerasamy Aruna , Antony Godwin
Published: May 2024

The modern world is moving towards electric vehicles (EV) due to the increment in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, global warming, and the lack of fossil fuels. EVs can overcome these issues by using batteries instead of fuel. But increasing and maintaining the batteries is a major challenge in EVs because of the large heat emissions from the batteries. In order to overcome these issues and increase the performance of the batteries, a heat pipe (HP) is attached to the passive cooling system. This study aims to improve the performance of batteries and the thermal conductivity of HP with a combination of refrigerant and nanofluid (nanorefrigerant) as working fluids. Copper HP with R-134a or SWCNT is selected for this study. The thermal resistance and thermal conductivity of HP with R-134a and SWCNT were observed for several heat conditions. From the study, it was well observed that changing the working fluid inside the HP affects the thermal performance and the cooling capacity of batteries. Fixing an HP to a battery would decrease the battery’s temperature effectively. Furthermore, increasing the heat power in an evaporator section decreases the thermal resistance and enhances thermal conductivity with the shortest time limit because of Brownian motion.
Targeted memory reactivation during non-rapid eye movement sleep enhances neutral, but not negative, components of memory
Authors: Denis Dan , Payne Jessica D.
Published: May 2024

Emotionally salient components of memory are preferentially remembered at the expense of accompanying neutral information. This emotional memory trade-off is enhanced over time, and possibly sleep, through a process of memory consolidation. Sleep is believed to benefit memory through a process of reactivation during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM). Here, targeted memory reactivation (TMR) was used to manipulate the reactivation of negative and neutral memories during NREM sleep. Thirty-one male and female participants encoded composite scenes containing either a negative or neutral object superimposed on an always neutral background. During NREM sleep, sounds associated with the scene object were replayed, and memory for object and background components was tested the following morning. We found that TMR during NREM sleep improved memory for neutral, but not negative scene objects. This effect was associated with sleep spindle activity, with a larger spindle response following TMR cues predicting TMR effectiveness for neutral items only. These findings therefore do not suggest a role of NREM memory reactivation in enhancing the emotional memory trade-off across a 12-hour period but do align with growing evidence of spindle-mediated memory reactivation in service of neutral declarative memory.

Significance statementMemory reactivation during sleep is believed to be a key mechanism facilitating consolidation, the strengthening and stabilisation of memories over time. Emotional memories appear to be preferentially consolidated compared to neutral information, but the role sleep-related memory reactivation in this process is still unclear. Here, we found that experimentally reactivating memories during sleep in humans did not preferentially enhance emotional memory components but did improve neutral memory when tested after one night of sleep. These findings speak against a role of memory reactivation in the early stages of emotional memory consolidation.

Two Persistent Myths About Binet and the Beginnings of Intelligence Tests in Psychology Textbooks
Authors: Brysbaert Marc , Nicolas Serge
Published: May 2024

Alfred Binet is widely recognized as the father of the intelligence test, but many textbooks on psychology and intelligence testing contain inaccuracies about his work. This article corrects two common errors. First, the French government did not ask Binet to develop the test. Binet was part of a group of people trying to prevent special education from becoming part of psychiatric institutions and thus became motivated to develop an objective measure of intelligence. Secondly, Binet did not develop the test alone. He worked closely with Théodore Simon. We also look at the best reference for the first intelligence test and propose the Binet and Simon 1908 article. Hopefully, this article will help put an end to the spread of inaccuracies about the intelligence test.

To obtain a more appealing wood coating with lighter color, bleaching treatment was employed. Bleached and unbleached bio-polyurethane (PU) coating was prepared using liquefied bamboo and was applied to rubberwood. The coated wood surface was examined for adhesion, scratch, abrasion, impact, and resistance to common household chemicals. The results revealed that the bleaching of liquefied bamboo exerted mixed effects on the finishing properties of the bio-PU coating. Specifically, the surface coated with unbleached bio-PU coating exhibited noticeably higher levels of scratch and impact resistance compared to the surface coated with bleached bio-PU coating. However, both the adhesion and abrasion properties were found to be similar in both cases. Both bleached and unbleached bio-PU coating exhibited similar resistance to various household chemicals, with exception of acetic acid. This research demonstrated a method for producing semi-transparent bio-PU from bamboo biomass for use in wood coating. Bleaching treatment is feasible to produce light-colored coating without significantly affecting the finishing properties of the bio-PU coating.
Neural network chaos analysis
Authors: Garliauskas A.
Published: May 2024

The analysis of a chaos theory, in general, and a neural network chaos paradigm with a concrete interpretation by a simple neural network, in particular, allowed us to set up a new aspect in an artificial neuronal approach of methodology: an analogy between natural chaos experimentally observed in neural systems of the brain and artificial neural network chaos phenomena has been considered. The significance of asymmetry and nonlinearity, which were increased on introducing a restricted N-shaped synaptical relation in a two-mod dynamic model, is emphasized. There are illustrated the diferent computational examples of the neural network properties which are expressed by the equillibrium point, stable cycle or chaotic behaviour in strong nonlinear neural systems.
Cellular uptake and accumulation studies of functionalized upconverting nanoparticles
Authors:   , Kazlauskė Evelina
Published: May 2024

Upconverting nanoparticles are an excellent tool for biomedical applications that can be used in both cancer diagnosis and therapy. To increase the biocompatibility and accumulation of these nanoparticles in cancer cells, it is necessary to modify the surface of the nanoparticles with appropriate surface coatings. Additionally, surface coating is important for the formation of the necessary protein corona around the particle, which affects the endocytosis mechanisms and intercellular nanoparticles distribution in cancer cells. The aim of this work was to investigate the interaction of differently coated upconverting nanoparticles with cancer cells and to investigate the mechanisms of accumulation of nanoparticles in cells. Research has shown that rare earth metal differently coated upconverting nanoparticles are biocompatible, the protein corona improves the colloidal stability of nanoparticles, and surface coatings affect the dynamics of accumulation in cells. Cellular accumulation is also influenced by both the cell surface proteome and the composition of the protein corona formed around the nanoparticles. Moreover, it was observed that the amount of polyethylene glycol in the surface modifications of the nanoforms is an important factor regarding their accumulation in cancer cells. A higher amount of polyethylene glycol in the nanoparticle coating directly correlates with higher accumulation dynamics in the cells.

Aim. To study the effect of 48-week therapy with atorvastatin and ezetimibe on laboratory parameters, structural and functional arterial characteristics and heart failure markers in the post-infarction period.

Material and methods. A total of 87 patients with acute myocardial infarction were included. In the first 24 hours, atorvastatin 80 mg/day was prescribed. During hospitalization, after 5-6, 24, 48 weeks, clinical and paraclinical examinations were performed. In the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) >1,4 mmol/l and the decrease <50% at one of the follow-up visits, ezetimibe 10 mg/day was additionally prescribed.

Results. Eighty participants (93%) completed the study. Patients were divided into following groups: group 1 (n=32) — atorvastatin monotherapy; group 2 (n=49) — ezetimibe and atorvastatin therapy. In group 1, LDL-C decreased after 48 weeks by 53% (p<0,001), while in group 2 by 63,2% (p<0,001). According to carotid ultrasound in group 2, a decrease in the intima media thickness after 24 and 48 weeks was revealed by 9,1% (p<0,001) and 10,5% (p<0,001) compared to the baseline value, while in group 1 — by 4,5% only on the 24th week (p=0,012). When analyzing endothelial function, there was an increase in flow-dependent vasodilation only in group 2 from 9,1 (5,6; 11,8)% to 14,3±6,8% after 48 weeks (p<0,001). With the addition of ezetimibe, there was a regression of the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide after 24 weeks by 69,6% (p=0,005), after 48 weeks — by 72,4% (p=0,009). In group 2, it decreased by 75,5% by the end of follow-up (p=0,010).

Conclusion. The results rationale adding ezetimibe to statins in very high-risk patients due to the most pronounced lipid lowering effect, improvement of the structural and functional properties of the common carotid arteries, endothelial function and clinical and laboratory heart failure markers.
A descaracterização da política de financiamento da CT&I: uma análise do FNDCT
Authors: Costa Pedro de Almeida , Costa Camila Furlan da
Published: May 2024

Resumo Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar criticamente os mecanismos que desidratam o Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (FNDCT), debilitando-o na sua função de promover o desenvolvimento econômico e social. Os dados foram extraídos das bases do sistema integrado de orçamento e planejamento (SIOP) e do relatório de execução orçamentária, entre 2012 e 2021, disponibilizados pela financiadora de estudos e projetos (FINEP). Os resultados da investigação apontam que, do ponto de vista quantitativo, há um processo de desidratação, por mecanismos como a desvinculação de receitas da união (DRU), a formulação do projeto de lei orçamentária anual (PLOA) e as reservas de contingência. Do lado qualitativo, há descompasso entre a promessa de uma política arrojada e inovadora e uma estrutura de governança centralizada e burocrática. Os fundos setoriais não enfrentam problemas de arrecadação, mas a gestão centralizada e subserviente a políticas fiscais de austeridade leva a uma execução orçamentária quantitativamente insuficiente e qualitativamente pobre em diversificação, quadro que descaracteriza a política de financiamento de ciência, tecnologia e inovação (CT&I), deixando de cumprir a promessa de desenvolvimento via inovação.
Austeridade e financeirização: a construção do discurso reformista no campo previdenciário brasileiro
Authors: Amaral Alvino de Souza , Costa Thiago de Melo Teixeira da
Published: May 2024

Resumo O artigo busca traçar um panorama na construção dos discursos reformistas no campo previdenciário brasileiro pós-Constituição Federal de 1988. Para tanto, estabelece uma análise das exposições de motivos anexadas às Propostas de Emendas Constitucionais (PECs) e que justificam os projetos submetidas ao Parlamento brasileiro. O estudo tem como pressupostos teórico-metodológicos a análise de discurso crítica (ADC), buscando responder em que medida as concepções de austeridade e financeirização permeiam o processo de construção dos discursos que justificam a proposição das reformas previdenciárias. É também objetivo deste trabalho desvelar as ideologias presentes nos discursos. Os resultados apontam que os ideais capitalistas pautados pela lógica da financeirização e da austeridade aparecem na construção dos discursos das reformas, o que demonstra sua influência sobre a construção discursiva de seus autores, inferindo uma filiação das reformas a essas concepções hegemônicas. Conclui-se que a ADC é um importante meio para compreender os processos que envolvem as políticas públicas, desde sua formulação até sua avaliação.
Factors increasing case disposition time in Brazil
Authors: Castelliano Caio , Guimaraes Tomas Aquino , Gomes Adalmir de Oliveira
Published: May 2024

Abstract Judicial delay in Brazil is a severe and persistent problem. This work helps to understand the causes of this issue, by identifying and discussing 12 factors that increase the length of the judicial process in the country. These factors were identified through content analysis of interviews with 15 key players in the Brazilian justice system, including judges, prosecutors, and lawyers. Each factor was discussed based on academic literature, official reports, and performance indicators. The research findings show that factors such as the low cost of filling, the absence of punishment for repetitive litigants, and tax foreclosures promote an overload of processes in the courts. The Judiciary also seems to be burdened with attributions beyond the jurisdictional function, such as collecting evidence and locating debtors and assets. The excess of disputes and assignments has made the Brazilian judicial machine large, slow, and expensive. Public policies to reduce judicial delays in the country are suggested.
Managing open strategy paradoxes in the public sector
Authors: Bernardes Maria Elisa Brandao , Milagres Rosiléia , Becker Patrícia , Wegner Douglas
Published: May 2024

Abstract The open strategy approach advocates the inclusion of external agents, partners, and employees working at different levels in the strategy construction process. This movement toward openness and inclusion has also advanced in the public sector through collaborative governance. This development is due to changes in understanding the state’s role as a promoter of interaction between public and private actors. The central argument of this essay is that there are paradoxes inherent in the use of open strategy in the public sector that need to be managed in order to avoid or minimize damaging tensions between those involved. The essay adopts a reflexive and inductive approach based on the theoretical perspectives of both open strategy and collaborative governance. As a result, it contributes to the field of public management studies and presents theoretical and practical propositions that indicate ways of managing open strategy.

Desigualdades regionais no acesso ao parto hospitalar no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil: redes de deslocamento, distância e tempo (2010-2019)
Authors: Felipe Lucas Lopes , Albuquerque Priscila Costa , Lopes Juliana Freitas , Zicker Fabio , Fonseca Bruna de Paula
Published: May 2024

Resumo: A dificuldade de acesso aos serviços de atenção ao parto está associada à mortalidade infantil e neonatal e à morbimortalidade materna. Neste estudo, dados do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) foram utilizados para mapear a evolução da acessibilidade geográfica ao parto hospitalar de risco habitual no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, correspondentes a 418.243 internações nos biênios 2010-2011 e 2018-2019. Foram estimados os fluxos de deslocamento, as distâncias percorridas e o tempo de deslocamento intermunicipal entre o município de residência e de internação das gestantes. Houve um crescimento de 15,9% para 21,5% na proporção de gestantes que precisaram se deslocar. A distância percorrida aumentou de 24,6 para 26km, e o tempo de deslocamento de 76,4 para 96,1 minutos, com grande variação entre as Regiões de Saúde (RS). As gestantes residentes na RS Centro Sul se deslocaram mais frequentemente (37,4-48,9%), e as residentes nas RS Baía da Ilha Grande e Noroeste percorreram as maiores distâncias (90,9-132,1km) e levaram mais tempo para chegar ao hospital no último biênio (96-137 minutos). A identificação dos municípios que receberam gestantes de muitos outros municípios e daqueles que atenderam maior volume de gestantes (núcleos e polos de atração, respectivamente) refletiu a indisponibilidade e as disparidades no acesso aos serviços. As desigualdades regionais e a redução da acessibilidade alertam para a necessidade de adequar a oferta à demanda e de revisar a distribuição dos serviços de atenção ao parto no Rio de Janeiro. O estudo contribui para as pesquisas e o planejamento sobre o acesso a serviços de saúde materno-infantil, além de servir como referência para outros estados do país.

Understanding Brazil's Platform Economy: Trends and Regulatory Challenges
Authors: Silva Neto Victo José da , Chiarini Tulio , Ribeiro Leonardo Costa
Published: May 2024

Abstract The proliferation of digital platforms has transformed economic landscapes, orchestrating connections among diverse agents and fostering innovation. Yet, the regulatory oversight remains a concern, prompting the need for comprehensive data on the platform economy. This is the first study that provides aggregate data on Brazil's digital platform economy. Our research aimed to address two critical issues: Are Brazilian companies aligned with the global platformization trend, and what distinctive attributes characterize them? Identifying 556 platform companies in the country, the study confirms Brazil's active participation in the global platform economy. However, these companies, primarily young and SMEs, exhibit regional concentration and reliance on foreign investments. The study outlines the need for nuanced regulatory frameworks considering company size, market share, and user base. In conclusion, the research sheds light on Brazil's participation in the global platform economy, emphasizing its unique attributes and offering insights crucial for policymakers and future investigations.
Microwave-vacuum drying of pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration-pretreated Yacon as an alternative for preserving fructo-oligosaccharides

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Yacon, a perennial plant from the Andean region, is particularly rich in fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin. However, these saccharides are rapidly hydrolyzed after harvest, affecting the functional characteristics of yacon. Therefore, a preservation technology such as drying is warranted to preserve the FOS content of yacon products during the off-season. To this end, we dried yacon slices, either untreated or pretreated with pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration (PVOD), in a microwave vacuum (MWV). PVOD was performed using a sorbitol solution (38 °Brix, 35 °C, and 681 mmHg during the first 10 min). A three-level experimental design with three initial power densities (PDs) of 3.6, 6.3, and 9.9 W.g−1 and three vacuum pressures (VPs) of 0, 300, and 600 mmHg was employed to perform the MWV drying experiments. FOS content, drying kinetics, diffusivity, shrinkage, yacon temperature, and rehydration were investigated. We observed that during PVOD, as microwave PD increased, the drying time, moisture, and water activity decreased. Moreover, an increase in PD positively affected FOS retention, diffusivity, temperature, and shrinkage. Furthermore, VP significantly affected FOS retention in pretreated samples and facilitated drying. In addition, microwaves with a higher PD increased the effective diffusivity and facilitated FOS retention. VP also affected the drying and FOS retention of pretreated samples. In general, yacon browning was observed under all treatment conditions, independent of pretreatment. For osmotically dehydrated samples, processing conditions with a PD of 9.9 W.g−1 and vacuum pressure of 600 mmHg are ideal for drying yacon slices via microwave vacuum, thereby increasing the FOS content by approximately 40%.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT The use of silicates in plant tissue culture has resulted in positive effects regarding the morphological, anatomical and physiological characteristics of in vitro plants. However, biological responses to this mineral are dose and genotype dependent. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of silicon supplementation on the somatic embryogenesis of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). The study was carried out in three stages of the cloning process, namely: Regeneration (i) and germination (ii) of somatic embryos and during ex vitro acclimatization (iii) of regenerated plantlets. The culture media were supplemented with four doses (0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g L-1) of calcium silicate (CaSiO3). The resulting plantlets were transplanted and acclimatized in a greenhouse. The regression analysis showed that the dose of 0.63g L-1 of CaSiO3 induced a higher rate of regeneration, which would allow a 58% increase in the number of somatic embryos formed. However, the germination of the plantlets, as well as their morphometric characters, were not affected by the different doses of CaSiO3, although the presence of this compound promoted an increase in the thickness of the epidermis and a reduction in the amount of epicuticular wax. Overall, silicon does contribute to the cloning of E. guineensis.

Abstract Munguba butter has bioactive compounds such as vitamin E and phytosterols, which has valued its application in the development of new products, with advantages in its use in emulsified formulations. Therefore, the objective was to develop and evaluate the stability of a nanoemulsion containing munguba butter as the oily phase. Munguba butter was extracted by the ultrasound assisted method and its HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) was determined. Next, formulations varying the concentration of butter from 1-40% were developed and classified into liquid or solid emulsion and phase separation. Liquid emulsions were evaluated for hydrodynamic particle diameter, polydispersity index (PDI), Zeta potential (ζ), rheological characterization, and stability assays. The butter had an HLB of 6.98. The NE 1.0% formulation was selected and demonstrated to be unstable at high temperatures (45 ± 2 °C) and remained stable at room temperature, refrigeration and light radiation for 90 days. Munguba butter, because it has high amounts of saturated fatty acids, hinders its application in the development of new products. However, the success in the development of the NE 1.0% formulation is noteworthy, remaining stable when exposed to refrigeration, room temperature and light radiation.

Resumo: O excesso de peso corporal, seus significados e, sobretudo, quais são as palavras referentes ao assunto, trata-se do escopo deste estudo. Nesta direção, os dicionários on-line são considerados fontes auxiliares dos bibliotecários no processo de representação temática da informação. Objetivo: identificar nos dicionários on-line, quais os significados dados aos verbetes “Gordo” e “Obeso”. Metodologia: realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico, sem delimitações quanto ao período, complementado pela pesquisa documental realizada nos dicionários, de cunho qualitativo e descritivo. Resultado: as palavras intercambiáveis apresentadas aos verbetes “Gordo” e “Obeso” em sua maioria, trazem uma conotação pejorativa, uma vez que seus significados remetem à sujeira, à deformidade, à falta de zelo com o corpo, contribuindo para o fortalecimento de uma sociedade lipofóbica. Conclusões: os dicionários analisados, apesar de assumirem funções sociais, pedagógicas e científicas, apresentam palavras que promovem a desvalorização humana. Assim sendo, cabe ao bibliotecário refletir a respeito das informações contidas nessas fontes, antes de utilizá-los como apoio em suas atividades de representação temática de recursos informacionais.

Abstract The objective of this study was to measure the zootechnical performance and egg quality of Japanese quails housed at different densities and fed diets containing yeast cell walls (YCWs). Five hundred and seventy-six quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were distributed at 43 weeks of age, and 76% were laid, with an initial weight of 158.50 ± 5.41 g, in a completely randomized design in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement (three YCW levels: 0, 500, and 750 g.ton−1 and two housing densities: 81.5 and 92.4 cm2/quail), with six replicates of 17 and 15 quail per experimental unit, respectively. The following parameters were evaluated: feed intake, egg production/bird/day, egg production/housed quail, marketable egg production, egg mass, feed conversion per dozen eggs, egg mass and viability, egg weight, specific egg weight, percentage of yolk, albumen and shell, and shell thickness. The means of the three cycles of 21 days were subjected to analysis of variance using the statistical software Sisvar. There was no significant interaction effect between YCW inclusion level and cage density on zootechnical performance parameters or egg quality, except for egg weight, which suggested that YCW addition, regardless of cage density, did not affect the results. It was observed that the eggs of quails housed in cages with 92.4 cm2/bird feed and 500 g.ton1 YCW had greater egg weights. Shell thickness was independently influenced by cage density, and the lowest density (92.4 cm2/bird) promoted greater shell thickness. The inclusion of 500 g.ton1 of yeast cell wall material in the diet of Japanese quails housed at a density of 92.4 cm2/bird improved egg weight and shell thickness without negatively affecting the other parameters of egg quality or zootechnical performance.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the cognitive cost of work for military police officers in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, carried out with 446 military police officers, of both sexes, distributed between non-commissioned officers and officers, in the 7th, 15th, 20th, 24th and 41st Military Police Battalions. An instrument was used to depict sociodemographic, work, lifestyle and health conditions and a scale for assessing the human cost of work, which analyses the demands of the job through physical, cognitive and affective costs. The data was organized, processed and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 13.1. Results: The cognitive cost had the highest means, with severe results (μ = 3.86; SD = 0.86), representing greater demands in relation to the human cost of work among military police officers in the state of Rio de Janeiro and significant associations in relation to obesity, cognitive alterations in attention and memory, age and hours of sleep. Conclusion: In assessing the human cost of work, the cognitive cost was the most demanding in the work context of the military police officers surveyed, presenting a serious risk of illness.
O mito familiar no cuidado de enfermagem à criança emsofrimento psíquico
Authors: Delfini Giulia , Toledo Vanessa Pellegrino , Garcia Ana Paula Rigon Francischetti
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Trata-se de um estudo teórico com o objetivo de refletir sobre a contribuição do conceito de mito familiar para o cuidado de enfermagem à criança em sofrimento psíquico, sendo metodologicamente estruturado em três tópicos: importância da família no cuidado de crianças; perspectiva do cuidado de enfermagem centrado na família de crianças em sofrimento psíquico; e contribuição do entendimento de mito familiar para o cuidado de enfermagem à criança em sofrimento psíquico. Considera-se a dialética: a família, tida pela literatura atual como unidade harmônica, também desencadeia conflitos familiares que podem ser a causa de sofrimentos psíquicos. O conceito de mito familiar surge como possibilidade de ancoragem teórica ao cuidado de enfermagem à criança em sofrimento psíquico ao permitir que o enfermeiro considere os significantes que marcam a estruturação psíquica da criança e constroem seu sintoma. Desvendar o lugar que a família destina à criança viabiliza ao enfermeiro auxiliá-la a construir e elaborar um local próprio enquanto sujeito em sua subjetividade.

ABSTRACT Introduction: preconceptions towards people with disabilities are still present in our society; they arise from ancient behaviors and from the biomedical model, both rooted in human attitudes. Objective: to describe the potentialities/strengths and inabilities/weaknesses faced by people with disabilities to exercise their autonomy and to show the ways in which people with disabilities exercise their autonomy. Method: this is a single-case study with a qualitative approach. Twenty-two individuals with physical disabilities were interviewed, with students and employees from a university in southern Brazil among them. Data analysis was performed by means of the Collective Subject Discourse The comprehensive and interpretive analysis of the meanings that emerged from the participants' statements were associated with the theoretical framework of autonomy by Adela Cortina, Diego Gracia and Lawrence Kohlberg. Results: potentialities/weaknesses can be observed in the exchange spaces and in the information provided by the university. At the same time, inability/weakness is perceived in preconception, welfarism and all the ableism faced by people with disabilities. Conclusions: lack of information is one of the main elements that foster preconception and it is essential to fight against it for the inclusion of people with disabilities.
