Published: August 2024

It is in considerable demand to produce poultry meat and eggs of superior quality at affordable costs without using growth promoters or antibiotics, so the current study aimed to evaluate the effect of Salvia officinalis and Cardamom on animal productivity of broiler chickens. This experiment was carried out at the poultry field of the Agricultural Experiment Station, College of Agriculture, Tikrit University. Ninety unsexed, one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were employed. The results showed that the hemoglobin concentration, RBC counts and PCV of S. officinalis boilers and cardamom boilers indicated a significant (P≤0.05) elevated compared to the standard diet boilers. While, WBC count of S. officinalis boilers and cardamom boilers indicated non-significant (P≤0.05) elevated compared to the standard diet boilers. For antioxidant enzymes, the glutathione and catalase levels of S. officinalis boilers and cardamom boilers indicated a significant (P≤0.05) elevated compared to the standard diet boilers. Finally, total protein and albumin activities of S. officinalis boilers and cardamom boilers indicated a significant (P≤0.05) reduced compared to the standard diet boilers. It is concluded from the current study that both S. offcinalis and cardamom showed a stimulating effect on blood parameters and raising protein levels. S. offcinalis and cardamom can be considered an enhancer of the performance of broiler chickens.

Published: August 2024

Hypothyroidism is believed to be associated with dyslipidemia and is considered a risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). Vitamin D, due to its steroid hormone action, retains cell function and controls the metabolism of lipids. Therefore, the present study was carried out to show the association of the risk factors of ASCVD. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is caused by both clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism by disrupting healthy endothelial function by various mechanisms such as inflam- mation, triggering lipid disorders and oxidative stress. In the present study, a strong correlation was observed between increasing TSH and the parameters of lipid profile Hypothyroidism and hypovitaminosis D are known as inde-pendent risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Hypothyroidism and hypovitaminosis D are associated and correlated with total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein in Saudi patients. It is also recom- mended that vitamin D deficiency be checked in hypothyroid patients and that appropriate supplementation may be given if needed. Furthermore, for early detection and/or prediction of cardiovascular disease, screening of thyroid hormone and vitamin D levels should be undertaken at an early stage.

Advancements in Research on Composite Bipolar Plates for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Authors: Wu HanJie
Published: August 2024

In proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), the bipolar plate is a crucial component. Positioned between the anode and cathode, it supports the electrode reactions and provides pathways for gas flow. Made of conductive materials, it boasts excellent conductivity and mechanical stability, capable of withstanding the current generated by electrochemical reactions and resisting the corrosive and oxidative environments within the system. Thus, to ensure efficient energy conversion, the bipolar plate must exhibit good conductivity, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance. This thesis systematically categorizes the selection of resins and graphite, based on a graphite-resin composite system, and compares the performance of various composite bipolar plates against the Department of Energy (DOE) standards. By examining the microstructure, the thesis explores the reasons behind these performance characteristics, aiming to determine the optimal graphite-resin ratio and modification methods.

Abstract: The transition to renewable energy is increasingly recognized and disseminated as a guiding principle for sustainable development. Its use offers a path to mitigate climate change, combat environmental degradation and promote economic and social growth today. This concern arises with the concept of sustainable development and its objectives presented in 2015 by the United Nations. Since then, thinking about meeting these objectives has been a challenging task in the Amazon. In Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas, it is possible to see progressive steps in the pursuit of this objective, but there are still obstacles to be overcome. Given this, what are the obstacles that make it impossible to comply with SDG 7 on affordable and clean solar energy in the city of Manaus? This study aims to demonstrate the obstacles faced by the population of Manaus in the search to encompass sustainability in their daily lives, such as the adoption of solar energy, an alternative with a promising market, but which does not comply with SDG 7. To this end, the bibliographical research methodology, descriptive and qualitative in nature. In the end, the result of this research was the confirmation of the hypothesis pursued that currently the city of Manaus needs more incentives to comply with SDG 7 on clean and accessible energy, so that when searching for stimuli that put an end to obstacles that make access to solar energy unfeasible, we have an instrument capable of guaranteeing environmental justice for the city's existing social classes, allowing Manaus to become the capital of sustainable development.

DISCURSO TRANSMODERNO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS: TRÊS CAMINHOS PARA CONSTRUÇÃO DA DIGNIDADE HUMANA EM TEMPOS DESAFIADORES.
Authors: de Moraes Papaléo Paes Alberto , Moreira da Silva Castro Rosecélia , Pires Mendes João Augusto
Published: August 2024

Resumo: O texto discute a natureza dos direitos humanos, partindo da distinção entre direitos vigentes, novos direitos e direitos perenes, proposta por Dussel. Os direitos vigentes possuem aceitação social, consenso político e validação formal. Já os novos direitos são negados pelo sistema jurídico vigente, mas ganham legitimidade através da luta social e da crise de legitimidade do sistema. Os direitos perenes, por sua vez, são reconhecidos como universais e mundiais, mas não se confundem com os direitos naturais, pois representam uma ruptura com a tradição. O autor critica a visão tradicional dos direitos humanos, ligada à emancipação individual e à classe burguesa, e defende uma perspectiva crítica baseada na filosofia da libertação. Nessa visão, os direitos humanos são direitos morais que se fundamentam em um processo democrático e dialético, buscando justificação filosófica e reconhecendo sua constante tensão entre teoria e prática. O objetivo da pesquisa é apresentar uma resposta crítica às concepções hegemônicas de direitos humanos, utilizando a teoria do discurso para avaliar se as concepções críticas de Herrera Flores e Enrique Dussel conseguem resistir à pretensão totalitária das teorias éticas. Palavras-Chave: Direitos Humanos; Análise do Discurso; Libertação; América-latina; Emancipação Cultural.

Abstract: This article aims to demonstrate the reasons why there is an increase in requests for mining blockades made to the National Mining Agency (ANS) - which have a legal basis in Art. 42 of the Brazilian Mining Code - as well as identifying who should bear the possible losses resulting from compensation to mining companies, if these blocking requests are accepted by the regulatory agency. With the growth of wind and photovoltaic energy generation in the Brazilian energy matrix, several conflicts have arisen between mining companies - which have obtained titles for research permits, mining concessions, and the like, in specific polygonal areas due to the locational rigidity inherent to mining activity - and energy generators and transmitters, who have emerged as winners in auctions held by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). The uproar is that mining and energy generation and transmission activities have been authorized, in several situations, in the same geographic space, which is the reason for the impasses. Certainly, such situations need to be faced and resolved; however, given the same constitutional level that exists between mining and energy activities, the current solution boils down to the rule inserted in Art. 42 of the aforementioned Mining Code, supported by an opinion issued by the Federal Attorney General's Office. The objective of this study, therefore, was to identify whether there is systematization that can prevent the growing number of requests for mining blockades and whether there is regulation capable of resolving the problem. The method used was dialectical, with bibliographical, exploratory, and applied research techniques, of a qualitative nature. It was concluded, after immersion, that an interconnection between ANS and ANEEL is necessary when carrying out relevant technical studies to authorize each activity, aiming to avoid new situations, as well as that the impasses created by the aforementioned regulatory agencies attract, within the scope of the Brazilian legal system, the obligation of the Federal Union to bear the economic losses caused. Keywords: mining blockade; energymatrix; need for systematization and standardization.
CARBON BORDER ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM: O USO DO PRINCÍPIO DO POLUIDOR PAGADOR EM CONTRAPONTO À RESPONSABILIDADE DIFERENCIADA DE PAÍSES EM DESENVOLVIMENTO
Authors: Weingärtner Welter Isabela , Caliendo Paulo Antônio
Published: August 2024

Abstract: The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, or CBAM, Regulation (EU) 2023/956, is a European Union Regulation that puts a price on the carbon of imported goods from Third Countries. The Carbon Mechanism requires that importers, who must qualify as authorized declarants, declare the amount of carbon produced in the manufacturing process of imported goods. In addition to the quantity of emissions, they must state whether the emissions have been subject to any pricing or taxation in their country of origin. If they have not been subject to this treatment or if the pricing is not in line with the parameters of the Regulation, authorized declarants will have to pay an additional tariff, which will be calculated on top of the carbon emissions. From this perspective, CBAM works based on the polluter pays principle, applying sanctions to all importers, regardless of the origin of the goods. However, at the same time, the Regulation mentions as one of its foundations the Paris Agreement (2015), which in turn deals with the principle of common but differentiated responsibility for pollution, considering the degree of development and industrialization of each country. This is because developed countries are mainly responsible for the environmental degradation that exists today, considering that they have already gone through their development processes, so they should also be primarily responsible for remedying the situation. Along these lines, the study proposes a comparison of these two principles, the polluter pays principle and the common but differentiated responsibility principle, and how they work within the framework of CBAM. Above all, the study seeks to clarify whether there is any contradiction or principled divergence in the sanctions of the Regulation, regarding the imposition of the tariff on developing countries in the same way as developed countries. Key-words: carbon pricing; European Law; Carbon Mechanism; Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism; polluter pays; differentiated responsibility; Paris Agreement.

Published: August 2024

Resumo: O artigo analisa a natureza jurídica da operação financeira debt-for-nature swap (troca de dívida por natureza) e discute a possibilidade de sua utilização como um instrumento econômico da política ambiental brasileira. Nesta operação financeira, um credor de títulos de dívida pública negocia com o Estado emissor a assunção de obrigações de conservação da natureza em troca do perdão ou desconto substancial da dívida. O debt-for-natureswap é uma adaptação do contrato de troca de dívida por ativos (debt-equity swap) para funcionar como um instrumento de colaboração público-privada na preservação do meio ambiente e redução do endividamento externo de países em desenvolvimento. Para atingir o objetivo proposto para o artigo, serão apresentadas as principais características desta operação, suas partes, objeto, termos e condições essenciais e acessórias bem como o seu regime operacional e jurídico aplicável. Bem como serão, em seguida, listados alguns casos paradigmáticos em que esta operação financeira foi contratada por países em desenvolvimento para a implementação de suas políticas econômica e ambiental nacionais. Apesar do debt-for-nature swap já ter sido utilizado com sucesso em outros países em desenvolvimento latino-americanos (tais como Bolívia, Colômbia, Equador e Peru); no Brasil, em 1989, foi frustrada a primeira tentativa de utilização deste instrumento financeiro para a proteção da Floresta Amazônica. Sendo assim, o artigo rediscute a possibilidade de utilização deste instrumento financeiro de proteção ambiental no Brasil. Com base em pesquisa bibliográfica emétodo dedutivo, parte-se da constatação de que a abertura democrática e a aproximação da política ambiental brasileira de instrumentos jurídico-econômicos de proteção ambientalpermiteformular conclusões no sentido da oportunidade da reavaliação quanto à legalidade, conveniência e oportunidade de utilização do debt-for-nature swap como mais um instrumento econômico e jurídico de proteção ambiental no Brasil.

Published: August 2024

This case report describes a 59-year-old male with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with recurrent urinary tract infections caused by multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. The patient's condition progressed from initial sensitivity to ceftazidime-avibactam to eventual resistance, leaving colistin as the only effective antibiotic. During the 19-day course of colistin therapy (900 mg daily), the patient developed severe acute kidney injury, with serum creatinine rising from 1.3 to 10.1 mg/dL, and colistin-induced peripheral neuropathy. Following discontinuation of colistin, partial renal recovery was observed, with creatinine decreasing to 2.5 mg/dL. This case highlights the challenges in managing extensively drug-resistant infections, the limited treatment options available, and the significant adverse effects associated with last-resort antibiotics like colistin. It underscores the urgent need for new antimicrobial strategies and emphasizes the importance of careful monitoring during treatment with potentially toxic antibiotics.

Dispute resolution procedures from lawsuits and applications filed at the State Administrative Court based on negative fictitious administrative orders or positive fictitious administrative orders. The adoption of the positive fictitious principle in various legislative policies of member states has finally brought positive results in facilitating the process of obtaining licenses and issuing decisions / other actions submitted by citizens to administrative organs. The essence of the Positive Fictitious Principle is that 'silence means agreement' and aims for legal certainty. The requirements of the application must have been received in full and are associated with legal principles that are affected to be the reason for not needing the involvement of the judiciary. On the other hand, the court is needed to provide legal protection for third parties who feel aggrieved by the issuance of decisions born from the positive fictitious process.

Interfaith marriages are not something new for multicultural Indonesian society. Interfaith marriages are common in society and have been going on for a long time. However, this does not mean that interfaith marriages are not problematic by society. In fact, the Marriage Law in Article 2 paragraph (1) determines that marriage is valid if it is carried out according to the laws of each religion and belief. From the Indonesian Conference on Religion and Peace, it was recorded that 1,425 couples of different religions were married in Indonesia in the period from 2005 to early March 2022, this made the Supreme Court finally issue a decree prohibiting interfaith marriages with Circular Letter (SEMA) Number 2 of 2023. The purpose of this writing is to 1) analyze the legality of interfaith marriages according to positive law in Indonesia and 2) analyze the effectiveness of the Supreme Court's decision in SEMA Number 2 of 2023. The conclusion obtained from this writing is that even though Article 8 of Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Establishment of Legislative Regulations states that the existence of regulations stipulated by the Supreme Court (SEMA) is recognized and has binding legal force, however, many people think that SEMA is in conflict with the Population Administration Law which does not prohibit the registration of interfaith marriages. SEMA Number 2 of 2023 does not necessarily eliminate interfaith marriages, because if we review their effectiveness, this will return to the awareness of each community.

Malaria continues to pose a significant global health threat, and the emergence of drug-resistant malaria exacerbates the challenge, underscoring the urgent need for new antimalarial drugs. While several machine learning algorithms have been applied to quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling for antimalarial compounds, there remains a need for more interpretable models that can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of drug action, facilitating the rational design of new compounds. This study develops a QSAR model using Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM). The model is integrated with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to enhance interpretability. The LightGBM model demonstrated superior performance in predicting antimalarial activity, with an ac-curacy of 86%, precision of 85%, sensitivity of 81%, specificity of 89%, and an F1-score of 83%. SHAP analysis identified key molecular descriptors such as maxdO and GATS2m as significant contributors to antimalarial activity. The integration of LightGBM with SHAP not only enhances the predictive ac-curacy of the QSAR model but also provides valuable insights into the importance of features, aiding in the rational design of new antimalarial drugs. This approach bridges the gap between model accuracy and interpretability, offering a robust framework for efficient and effective drug discovery against drug-resistant malaria strains.

The distribution of the trapped magnetic field of untinned and tinned high-temperature superconductors (HTS) tapes after mechanical load on the stack of tapes was studied by the scanning Hall magnetometry method. Based on the obtained data, the values of the average critical current for all the studied samples were calculated. The degradation of the current carry capacity starts with lower mechanical loading on the stack in case of tinned tapes than of untinned ones. For tinned tapes the average value of the critical current drops by more than two times relative to initial state when a mechanical load of 400 MPa was applied; for untinned tapes – a decrease in the critical current is of less than 25%. The obtained data will be useful for further designs of current-carrying part based on stacks of HTS tapes for various applications.

Within Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity, two electrons form the Cooper pair in the momentum space. However, it is a challenging task to represent the Cooper pair probability density in real space. Here we proposed a quasi-classical three dimensional model for the Cooper pair probability density shape in a real space, which is appeared as a direct consequence to describe the Meissner-Ochsenfeld critical field, Bc,MO (which is the thermodynamic critical field in Type-I superconductors, and lower critical field in Type-II superconductors) by the equation Bc,MO= 11/2μ0nμBln(1+√2ξ/λ), where μ0 is the magnetic permeability of free space, n is the Cooper pair bulk density, μB is the Bohr magneton, and λ is the London penetration depth, and ξ is the coherence length. As a result, the Meissner-Ochsenfeld field can be defined as the field at which each Cooper pair exhibits the diamagnetic moment of one Bohr magneton with a multiplicative pre-factor of 1/2ln(1+√2λ/ξ). Based on quasi-classical interpretation of this result, in this study we proposed that the probability density of the Cooper pair in real space can be represented as a toroid with an inner radius ξ and an outer radius of ξ + √2λ. This means that the superconducting transition is associated not only with the charge carrier pairing, but that the pairs exhibit a new topological state with genus 1.
