Abstract. Global change research demands a convergence among academic disciplines to understand complex changes in Earth system function. Limitations related to data usability and computing infrastructure, however, present barriers to effective use of the research tools needed for this cross-disciplinary collaboration. To address these barriers, we created a computational platform that pairs meteorological data and site-level ecosystem characterizations from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) with the Community Terrestrial System Model (CTSM) that is developed with university partners at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). This NCAR–NEON system features a simplified user interface that facilitates access to and use of NEON observations and NCAR models. We present preliminary results that compare observed NEON fluxes with CTSM simulations and describe how the collaboration between NCAR and NEON that can be used by the global change research community improves both the data and model. Beyond datasets and computing, the NCAR–NEON system includes tutorials and visualization tools that facilitate interaction with observational and model datasets and further enable opportunities for teaching and research. By expanding access to data, models, and computing, cyberinfrastructure tools like the NCAR–NEON system will accelerate integration across ecology and climate science disciplines to advance understanding in Earth system science and global change.

Abstract. Precipitation is the most important driver of the hydrological cycle but is challenging to estimate over large scales from satellites and models. Here, we assessed the performance of six global and quasi-global high-resolution precipitation datasets (ERA5 global reanalysis (ERA5), Climate Hazards group Infrared Precipitation with Stations version 2.0 (CHIRPS), Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation version 2.80 (MSWEP), TerraClimate (TERRA), Climate Prediction Centre Unified version 1.0 (CPCU) and Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks-Cloud Classification System-Climate Data Record (PERCCDR)) for hydrological modelling globally and quasi-globally. We forced the WBMsed global hydrological model with the precipitation datasets to simulate river discharge from 1983 to 2019 and evaluated the predicted discharge against more than 1800 hydrological stations worldwide, using a range of statistical methods. The results show large differences in the accuracy of discharge predictions when using different precipitation input datasets. Based on evaluation at annual, monthly and daily time scales, MSWEP followed by ERA5 demonstrated a higher CC and KGE than other datasets for more than 50 % of the stations. Whilst, ERA5 was the second-highest performing dataset, it showed the highest error and bias in about 20 % of the stations. The PERCCDR is the least well performing dataset with large bias (percentage of bias up to 99 %) and errors (normalised root mean square error up  to 247 %) with a higher KGE and CC than the other products in less than 10 % of the stations. Even though MSWEP provided the highest performance overall, our analysis reveals high spatial variability, meaning that it is important to consider other datasets in areas where MSWEP showed a lower performance. The results of this study provide guidance on the selection of precipitation datasets for modelling river discharge for a basin, region or climatic zone as there is no single best precipitation dataset globally. Finally, the large discrepancy in the performance of the datasets in different parts of the world highlights the need to improve global precipitation data products.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Oceanic natural hazards pose threats to coastal communities worldwide. These include earthquakes, tsunamis, submarine landslide, volcanic eruptions, and tropical cyclones. Scientific ocean drilling can contribute to our understanding and assessment of these hazards through rapid response measurements of hazardous events, learning from past hazard records, and sub-seafloor monitoring and observation. With the impending retirement of the D/V JOIDES Resolution and operational limitations of the D/V Chikyu, it is important to consider other options for achieving scientific ocean drilling goals. We convened a workshop in Lisbon, Portugal, in July 2022 to identify locations where natural hazards, or preferably several different hazards, can be addressed with mission-specific platform (MSP) drilling, with a consideration of further location-based workshops. Participants split into three working groups to develop hypotheses surrounding climate and tropical cyclones, slope failure, and processes at active margins that can be tested with MSP drilling and can be addressed using the unique capabilities of these platforms. We produced 13 questions or hypotheses with recommendations on specific areas or locations for drilling. Our hope is that the results of this workshop will lay the groundwork for future pre-proposals.
Melt-enhanced strain localization and phase mixing in a large-scale mantle shear zone (Ronda peridotite, Spain)
Authors: Tholen Sören , Linckens Jolien , Zulauf Gernold
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Strain localization in upper-mantle shear zones by grain size reduction and the activation of grain-size-sensitive deformation mechanisms is closely linked to phase mixing. With its mylonitic grain size (50–100 µm) and well-mixed phase assemblage, the kilometer-scale shear zone at the northwestern boundary of the Ronda peridotite is, in this respect, no exception. In transects across the high-strain mylonitic into the low-strain tectonitic part of this shear zone, the following four dominant microstructural domains were identified: (1) olivine-rich matrix, (2) mixed matrix, (3) neoblast tails of clinopyroxene porphyroclasts, and (4) neoblast tails of orthopyroxene porphyroclasts. In these domains, phase mixing and its impact on strain localization were investigated by a combination of microstructural (optical microscopy), textural (EBSD), and geochemical (EPMA) analysis. The dominant microstructural domain of all samples is the mixed matrix composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, and clinopyroxene. Its homogenous distribution of interstitial pyroxenes contradicts mechanical mixing. Instead, extensive phase mixing under near-steady-state conditions is documented by the constant grain size and by phase boundary percentages > 60 % for the entire mylonitic unit and all the microstructural domains. Lobate phase boundaries, homogenous phase mixing, and secondary-phase distribution, as well as continuous geochemical trends that are independent of the microstructural domain, point to a reaction-driven, metasomatic formation of the mixed matrix and pyroxene porphyroclast tails in the entire shear zone. An OH-bearing metasomatism by small fractions of evolved melts is indicated by amphibole abundance in pyroxene neoblast tails, olivine B-type-crystallographic-preferred orientations (CPOs), and the microstructural consistency of the garnet–spinel (grt–spl) mylonites from both major peridotite massifs of the Gibraltar arc, Ronda, and Beni Bousera (Morocco). The established syn-deformational temperature of 800–900 ∘C at 1.95–2.00 GPa suggests that the metasomatism did not reset the equilibrium temperatures. Consistent geochemistry and phase assemblage in mylonites and tectonites but a change from equiaxial (tectonites) to wedge-shaped pyroxenes aligned parallel to the foliation (mylonites) point to a pre- to syn-deformational metasomatism, with the potential annealing of the tectonites. For the mylonitic mixed matrix, wedge-shaped pyroxenes, and neoblast tail formation in pyroxene porphyroclast stress shadows point to the activity of incongruent dissolution–precipitation creep. Apart from the dissolution–precipitation creep, strong CPOs of all major phases (ol, opx, and cpx) suggest dislocation creep as being the major deformation mechanism in the entire shear zone.
The role of thymus graft on the onset of puberty in juvenile male rats
Authors: Prasad Satya V.
Published: October 2023

There exists a bidirectional relation between the thymus gland and the hypothalamo- hypophysial-gonadal axis. The thymus secretes various hormones, some of which can regulate the reproductive axis. So, it is worth to explore the possible role of an additional thymus on the onset of puberty in male albino rats. Two groups of male rats aged 5 and 10 days were used for the study. Each subgroup consisted of 4 pups each in control and experimental group. Thymus glands for graft were obtained from newborn male rat pups. Depending on the age group, 5 day or 10-day-old male rat pup were anaesthetized, 2-3 mm incision was made, and a thymus gland was grafted to the axilla. Sham operations were performed to the control pups. Without handling, animals were observed daily for the onset of puberty. On the day of descent of testes, body weight of the animal was noted, blood was collected and used for radio immunoassay. All morphometric measurements were done using an occular micrometer. Volume fraction of seminiferous tubules, intertubular connective tissue of testes, cortex and medulla of the thymus were estimated by point count method. In both the age groups thymus graft advanced the age of descent of testes, and increased body weight and organ weight. It also increased the serum hormone levels. In conclusion, this study indicates that an additional thymus gland has a positive effect on the male reproductive system towards pro-gonadal action, and this effect is more pronounced in older-age groups of rats.

Published: October 2023

Objetivo: determinar el impacto psicológico del COVID-19 en los pacientes con cáncer y valorar las variables clínicas y sociodemográficas que influyen en este. Método: se evaluó mediante una metodología observacional, analítica y transversal (T1), el impacto psicológico de la pandemia en 88 pacientes con cáncer de los servicios de Oncología Médica (n=31), Oncología Radioterápica (n=31) y Hemato-Oncología (n=26) del Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre. Para ello se empleó la Escala Hospitalaria de Ansiedad y Depresión (HAD) y The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5). Además, se evaluaron las variables sociodemográficas y clínicas empleando un cuestionario de elaboración propia. Resultados: no se hallaron diferencias significativas en la sintomatología presentada por los pacientes de los tres servicios. Del total de participantes, un 22,7%, un 13,6% y un 15,9% obtuvieron puntuaciones clínicas de ansiedad, depresión y estrés postraumático, respectivamente. Asimismo, se encontró una relación directa entre el miedo a contraer el virus y la sintomatología ansioso-depresiva y postraumática (p<0,001). También entre el miedo a contagiar el virus y la depresión (p=0,002) y el miedo a contagiarlo y la sintomatología ansiosa y postraumática (p<0,001). Conclusiones: a pesar de la elevada presencia de sintomatología ansioso-depresiva y postraumática en los participantes, los porcentajes hallados son parecidos a los obtenidos en estudios pre-pandémicos. Los pacientes con un mayor miedo a contraer/contagiar el virus presentaron mayores puntuaciones en la sintomatología clínica, indicando esto la relevancia de evaluar el miedo y la posibilidad de emplearlo como herramienta de cribado.

Authors: Villatoro Reyes Alvaro , Cruzado Juan Antonio
Published: October 2023

Introducción: El miedo a la recurrencia del cáncer es una de las consecuencias más frecuentes en los supervivientes del cáncer. El cáncer de mama fue el tipo de cáncer más diagnosticado en el 2020 en todo el mundo, aunque se ha evidenciado una baja tasa de mortalidad de este tipo de cáncer en España, lo que favorece una mayor prevalencia de miedo a la recurrencia en el cáncer de mama. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión sistemática sobre las intervenciones utilizadas para reducir el miedo a la recurrencia del cáncer en supervivientes de cáncer de mama. Metodología: Se realizó la búsqueda en las bases de datos SCOPUS, APA PsycInfo, APA PsycArticles, MEDLINE y E-Journals, limitando los resultados a los estudios controlados aleatorizados de los últimos siete años. Resultados: Se incluyeron finalmente 18 estudios. Las intervenciones que se centran en los sesgos atencionales y en las preocupaciones y las rumiaciones resultaron ser las más eficaces. Se discuten los resultados en base al modelo de Miedo a la Recurrencia del Cáncer desarrollado por Lee-Jones et al. (1997) y se proponen futuras líneas de investigación. Conclusiones: Existen varias intervenciones eficaces sobre el miedo a la recurrencia del cáncer, destacando el programa ConquerFear por sus resultados y su bajo coste.

Introducción: El miedo a la recaída es uno de los problemas psicológicos en los pacientes con cáncer, más específicos. El aumento en la esperanza de vida en el paciente oncológico, y la supervivencia, hace que cada vez más conozcamos las consecuencias emocionales, y vivir con el llamado Síndrome de la Espada de Damocles es sin duda una de las más importantes. Este miedo a la recaída puede llegar a ser invalidante y por ello cada vez más se elaboran programas terapéuticos para poderlo combatir. Uno de los más conocidos es el FORT (Fear of Recurrence Therapy) elaborado por Maheu y Lebel y que en este momento está siendo adaptado a otros lenguajes y culturas. Una de ellas es la adaptación de Gálvez en México. Objetivo: Nuestro objetivo en el presente trabajo preliminar es presentar los primeros datos de adaptación de esta terapia del español mexicano al europeo. Método: El procedimiento seguido es la validación ecológica propuesta por Bernal en base al consenso de dos psicooncólogas expertas. Resultados: Después de valorar el cambio de diferentes conceptos y terminologías, se han valorado de forma independiente por parte de ambas psicooncólogas, las 8 dimensiones de Bernal con un alto índice Kappa (de 0,8 a 1). Conclusiones: Este es un estudio preliminar al que le va a seguir los mismos pasos para el manual de la paciente por parte de profesionales y de pacientes con cáncer de mama.
Tropán alkaloidok előfordulása élelmiszerekben
Authors: Lugasi Andrea
Published: October 2023

A tropán alkaloidok számos növénycsaládban előfordulnak, toxikus hatásuk következtében dózistól függően enyhe tüneteket, de akár halált is okozhatnak. Az emberi szervezetbe leggyakrabban szennyeződés, tévesztés vagy bódító hatásuk miatti szándékos visszaélés következtében kerülnek. Gabonafélék, hüvelyesek, egyéb szemes termények, de különösen a vegyszermentes termelésű biotermékek nem megfelelő tisztítása következtében általános közfogyasztásra szánt élelmiszerekben előfordulnak, esetenként dokumentált mérgezést okoznak. A 2021-ben megjelent európai uniós szabályozás a növényi alapanyagok viszonylag széles körére határozza meg a tropán alkaloidok megengedhető mértékét, így a rendelet következetes betartásával elérhető lesz a tropán alkaloid szennyeződésből eredő élelmiszerbiztonsági kockázat csökkenése, mindamellett, hogy az utóbbi évek élelmiszer-eredetű mérgezéses esetei felhívják a figyelmet a szabályozás alá eső élelmi anyagok köre bővítésének szükségességére.

Authors: Wei Dan , Talib Mansor Bin Abu , Guo Rongrong
Published: October 2023

Smartphones may be particularly prone to distracting students, allowing them to spend more time engaging with their devices rather than focusing on academic tasks. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the use of smartphones on student academic performance in higher education. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines to guarantee the inclusion of relevant academic materials. We examined 8 out of 299 documents gathered from the Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC), Scopus, and Web of Science (WoS) databases that were published since 2018. During the screening phase, excel files with details about the paper, including title, author and abstract, were exported from the database. Specifically, these papers focused on parameters such as primary, middle and high school students, smartphone addiction. Our bibliometric assessment shows that research on the use of smartphones for specific academic purposes has remained scarce in recent years, and most of the studies are located in Asian countries. The research supports that the academic use of smartphones has a significant positive impact on student academic performance in higher education. It shows that using smartphones for learning purposes has various positive effects on students' learning in and out of the classroom, such as motivating students, increasing their collaboration and interaction, and improving their engagement in learning. Also, the study found positive student attitudes toward the use of smartphone-assisted learning apps. We concluded that smartphone use has a significant positive impact on academic performance.

Технологический процесс выплавки стали в АО «АрселорМиттал Темиртау состоит из трех этапов: выплавка полупродукта в конвертере, внепечная обработка на установке ковш-печь и получения сляба на машине непрерывной разливки заготовки. По существующей технологии создание нужной жидкоподвижности рафинирующего шлака на установке ковш-печь осуществляется присадками в качестве разжижителя плавикового шпата. При применении плавикового шпата токсичные выделения фтора создают на рабочей площадке напряженную экологическую обстановку. Присутствие фтористых соединений в шлаке отрицательно влияет на стойкость футеровки ковша. Использование твердых шлаковых смесей на основе оксида алюминия на установке ковш-печь позволяет, не меняя технологического процесса и расхода шлакообразующих (извести), устранить: выделения фтора в атмосферу цеха, отрицательное влияние на стойкость шлакового пояса футеровки ковша, снизить себестоимость стали из-за отказа от применения плавикового шпата и снижения расхода алюминия, используемого для раскисления шлака.

The technological process of steel smelting at ArcelorMittal Temirtau JSC consists of three stages: intermediate melting in a converter, outoffurnace treatment at a ladle-furnace unit and slab production at a continuous casting plant. According to the existing technology, the creation of the necessary fluidity of the refining slag at the ladle-furnace unit is carried out by adding fluorspar as a diluent. When fluorspar is used, toxic fluoride emissions create a stressful environment in the workplace. The presence of fluoride compounds in the slag adversely affects the durability of the ladle lining. The use of solid slag mixtures based on alumina on the ladle-furnace unit makes it possible, without changing the technological process and the consumption of slag-forming (lime), to exclude: fluorine emission into the atmosphere of the shop, negative influence on the durability of the ladle lining slag belt, reducing the cost of steel due to the abandonment of fluorspar and reducing the consumption of aluminum used for slag deoxidation.

Published: October 2023

В работе исследованы деформационное поведение, микроструктура и механические свойства листов из сплавов Al–Cu–Yb(Gd)–Mg–Mn–Zr. По результатам построения карт деформации определены оптимальные режимы термодеформационной обработки при температурах 490–540 °С и скоростях 0,01–1 с–1. Отжиг холоднокатанных листов при температуре до 180 °С приводит к преобладанию упрочняющего эффекта от старения над разупрочнением от полигонизации. Одночасовой отжиг листов-сплавов при 400 °С формирует частично рекристаллизованную структуру с резким снижением твердости со 145 HV до 75 HV. После 2 ч отжига при температуре 150 °С в сплавах сочетается высокие предел текучести 412–417 МПа, предел прочности – 441–449 МПа с относительным удлинением 2,7–3,2%. Закалка листов с последующим старением позволяет повысить пластичность до 5–8%, а предел текучести при этом составялет 300–306 МПа при пределе прочности 364–389 МПа.

Deformation behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties of the Al–Cu–Yb(Gd)–Mg–Mn-Zr alloys sheets were investigated. Based on the results of processing maps, the optimal modes of the thermomechanical treatment at temperatures of 490–540 °C and speeds of 0.01–1 s–1 were determined. Annealing of cold-rolled sheets at temperatures up to 180 °C leads to the predominance of the strengthening effect from aging over the softening from polygonization. One-hour annealing of alloy sheets at 400 °C forms a partially recrystallized structure with a sharp decrease in hardness from 145 HV to 75 HV. After 2 hours of annealing at 150 °C, the alloys combine a high yield strength of 412–417 MPa, a tensile strength of 441–449 MPa, and a good relative elongation of 2.7–3.2%. Sheet hardening followed by aging makes it possible to increase plasticity up to 5–8%, while the yield strength is 300–306 MPa with a tensile strength of 364–389 MPa.

Authors: Mahayosnand Ponn P. , Sabra S. M.
Published: October 2023

Social distancing and remote work were mandated worldwide during the COVID-19 lockdown. While virtual interviews were conducted prior to lockdown due to the growing global workforce, they became normalized during the pandemic for both work and school. Hiring agents may believe that having grown up with technology and the internet Generation Z (Gen Z) may be well-prepared for virtual interviews. However, the challenge they face is not technology-related. Gen Z individuals, particularly those in STEM fields, often lack well-developed practical and pragmatic life skills, such as effective communication. A remote independent research scholar and her student compiled this field report. First, the general characteristics of Gen Z STEM students are presented, followed by a virtual interview preparation guide with tips, recommendations and examples. Given the ever-changing global remote workforce, future empirical studies are recommended on the virtual hiring process of Gen Z STEM students which includes and expands upon virtual interviews.

Afterlives of the Clouded Leopard
Authors: Lemaitre Agathe
Published: October 2023

This paper analyses the afterlives of the likulau (clouded leopard), through its spiritual presence and material traces among the indigenous Paiwan people of Taiwan. Despite having been locally extinct for over half a century, the clouded leopard still continues to inhabit the myths and imaginations of the local population. In traditional Paiwan culture, the clouded leopard held a special status, and its skin and teeth were used to make ritual clothes and adornments for the village chiefs. In this paper, I explore the significance of these likulau artefacts in contemporary Paiwan society. I also examine how the Paiwan’s interactions with and the cultural significance of these objects have evolved in connection with environmental changes and social transformations of Paiwan society. As embodied in these material traces, the clouded leopard is both absent and present, extinct and alive. I explore this spectral presence via the concept of survivance (Didi-Huberman), examining how the ambiguous persistence of the clouded leopard relates to the resilience of traditional Paiwan culture.
Parallel Lives

Published: October 2023

This article investigates cow caretaking practices in a Finnish prison and living gene bank. Building upon work in Feminist Science and Technology Studies, Critical Animal Studies, and Critical Heritage Studies, we seek to understand how human and nonhuman animal lives are partially folded together, while also discussing the worlds cultivated in a space of conservation and incarceration. Empirically, the article draws upon multispecies ethnography undertaken during two separate visits to Pelso Prison in central Finland. We conclude that cows emerge as not simply working animals. They are viewed as valuable genetic material vital to the Finnish nation state as well as given names and granted personalities. Meanwhile, in the company of an endangered cattle breed, inmates gain new value as care-workers and conservationists “saving” the breed. In this space of exception, precarious interspecies lives are interwoven.
Crossing Worlds in Buildings
Authors: D'Hoop Ariane
Published: October 2023

Holes in the houses of Brussels, as in other buildings across Europe, have long been the preferred nesting sites of the common swift (Apus apus), a bird famous for its fast flight and for spending most of its life on the wing. For several decades, however, urban construction and renovation has led to the destruction of swifts’ breeding sites, contributing significantly to their disappearance, and have prompted amateur naturalists to spatial interventions in ways that they hope the birds will accept. This essay explores this form of care that is forging a new path through the more-than-human city. It starts with an account of how swifts “story” the cavities they inhabit, and then describes the engagement of a devoted swift caretaker with the birds’ astute knowledge of buildings and their meaningful worlds. Moving across sites in Brussels, the essay articulates how an attentiveness takes shape between swifts, their storied-places, and the human caretakers who learn about them, as well as the tensions and contradictions that arise. Such a care practice involves noticing and experiential learning, it requires conveying importance to unfamiliar interlocutors, and leads both to the reactivation of architectural heritages and pleasure at aesthetic encounters with the birds. In some cases, the employment of nest boxes and other technologies may also risk greenwashing ecologically harmful operations. Caring for swifts, the essay concludes, involves a reciprocal co-becoming at specific architectural interfaces, through attentive and imaginative practices. These modes of attention and of imagination enable material interventions in buildings with a fuller appreciation of swifts’ storied worlds.
Investigating the Susceptibility of Tunnel Erosion in Southern Nigeria using Integrated Geophysical Methods
Authors: I.U. Chibuogwu , G.Z. Ugwu
Published: October 2023

There has been a growing incidence of soil subsidence in various regions of Anambra State, located in southern Nigeria. These subsidence events primarily stem from the formation of natural tunnels or soil pipes within the subsurface. To delve deeper into this issue, the present study employed two geophysical techniques, namely the Very Low Frequency Electromagnetic (VLF-EM) method and the Electric Resistivity Method utilizing the Dipole-Dipole array. These methods were utilized to investigate the characteristics and spatial distribution of soil pipes at two specific sites: Awka Site 1 and Awka Site 2, both situated within Anambra State, Nigeria. Four profiles with transverse lengths of 100 m and 5 m spacing were surveyed. On each profile, the inphase and outphase were collected using the Abem Wadi Meter after a confirmed connection to the external satellite, while nine dipole-dipole profiles were carried on the same location. Four profiles with transverse lengths of 100 m and 5 m spacing were surveyed (Figures 3 and 4). The data analysis from the VLF-EM survey reveals that a significant portion (80%) of the low conducting zones observed in the pseudosection originates from the top of the profile, indicating a downward trend in the formation of soil piping. The VLF-EM result also inferred that the subsurface voids in the study areas extend vertically downward up to 10 meters, with an average horizontal extension exceeding 0.5 meters. This highlights the extensive spatial reach of the subsurface voids and emphasizes their potential impact on the surrounding environment. The dipole-dipole survey conducted in the study area identified six distinct structures, with the eroded formation being particularly noteworthy. This structure, characterized by resistivity ranging from 1200–30000 Ωm, plays a significant role in creating favorable conditions for soil piping. Furthermore, the presence of strong dispersive soils increases the likelihood of soil piping occurrences within this structure.

Objective: Obesity is one among the metabolic syndromes caused due to the disproportion in intake and disbursement of energy, it takes the reasons for many non-communicable diseases or chronic disorders like diabetics, heart diseases etc. An imbalanced diet with a composition of high fat foods are the common causative agents for obesity. There are many synthetic therapeutic methods to prevent and reduce obesity which always ends with side effects. The study involves in estimating the anti-obesity properties of honey and cinnamon individually and also their synergistic effect in inhibiting the pancreatic lipase. Methods: Ethanol extract was prepared for honey, cinnamon and their combinations, the qualitative phytochemical screening were done with their standard procedures. Porcine Pancreatic lipase activity was done for the samples at different concentrations from 10 to 60µg/ml. Results: The present study reveals the presence of all tested phytochemicals in the honey-cinnamon paste. With the increase in the concentration of extracts the higher inhibition of the lipase enzyme was observed. Percentage of inhibition ranged from honey 8.48±.041 to 41.49±0.14%, cinnamon 14.48±0.45 to 60.74±0.19% and honey-cinnamon pastes 23.48±0.20 to 87.37±0.20% respectively. Conclusion: The lipase inhibition effect reveals that the honey-cinnamon paste has a synergistic effect against lipase which could positively inhibits and reverts obesity which in turn eventually protects from obesity related non-contagious diseases.

Rethinking The Feasibility of Pancasila as a Scientific Paradigm
Authors: Taufiqurrahman Taufiqurrahman
Published: October 2023

Some academics and state officials in Indonesia argue for the adoption of Pancasila as a scientific paradigm for the country's scientific endeavours. They believe that using Pancasila as a foundation could give Indonesian science a distinct and unique character. However, this article seeks to reevaluate the feasibility of Pancasila as a scientific paradigm. By reviewing the literature on Pancasila and the philosophy of science, it arrives at the conclusion that Pancasila cannot serve as a scientific paradigm, either in a narrow or comprehensive sense. Two primary reasons support this conclusion. Firstly, Pancasila lacks the necessary characteristics of a well-established scientific achievement. As a result, it cannot function as a scientific paradigm in the narrow sense defined by Kuhn. Secondly, Pancasila carries theological baggage that surpasses science’s capacity to accommodate it. This aspect prevents Pancasila from becoming a comprehensive scientific paradigm. Consequently, I propose that Pancasila is more suitable as an axiological basis for science, rather than a scientific paradigm. Unlike a scientific paradigm, this axiological foundation does not fall within the epistemic scope of science.
Pancasila sebagai Basis Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka

Published: October 2023

Reformasi Tahun 1998 mengebiri Ideologi Pancasila hingga hampir dilupakan oleh bangsa Indonesia lebih dari 20 tahun, Pancasila seolah hilang dari dunia Pendidikan, Mata pelajaran pendidikan Pancasila diganti dengan Mata pelajaran pendidikan kewarganegaraan, namun beberapa tahun belakangan Pancasila dalam dunia Pendidikan mulai bangkit kembali sejak digaungkan oleh Badan Pembinaan Ideologi Pancasila. Pancasila hadir dalam konsep yang berbeda yaitu sebagai dasar dalam Standar Nasional Pendidikan. Menteri Pendidikan Kebudayaan Riset dan Teknologi turut meluncurkan Kebijakan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka untuk menjawab tantangan perubahan, namun kebijakan ini hadir lebih awal sebelum ditetapkannya Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 4 Tahun 2022 tentang Perubahan Atas Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 57 Tahun 2021 tentang Standar Nasional Pendidikan, atas dasar hal tersebut perlu menjawab permasalahan sebagai berikut: 1. Bagaimana konsep Pancasila sebagai basis Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka? 2. Bagaimana Nilai Pancasila dapat diimplementasikan melalui Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka?, Pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu perlu dijawab dalam rangka memperkuat kebijakan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka serta relevan dengan perkembangan peraturan perundang-undangan. Berdasarkan hasil  pembahasan  yang  mendasarkan  pada  kajian  dalam  pendekatan filosofis-historis maka diperoleh kesimpulan: Pertama Kebijakan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka sejalan dengan Konsep Pancasila dan Masyarakat Pancasila, Kedua intisari atau Pokok-pokok Kebijakan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka mengindikasikan implementasi nilai Pancasila.
Violência, gênero e cor no Estado de São Paulo
Authors: Monteiro Júnior Cláudio Celso
Published: October 2023

O presente trabalho discute a importância do registro das notificações de casos de violência no Sistema Nacional de Informação em Saúde (SIS). Considera violência como definido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde: o uso de força física ou poder, em ameaça ou na prática, contra si próprio, outra pessoa ou contra um grupo ou comunidade que resulte ou possa resultar em sofrimento, morte, dano psicológico, desenvolvimento prejudicado ou privação, que em suas mais diversas manifestações vem sendo compreendida como impactantes no perfil socioepidemiológico da sociedade. A inclusão desses eventos no rol dos agravos à saúde passíveis de notificação compulsória permite a coleta sistemática e a consolidação de dados, possibilitando a proposição de considerações sobre a ocorrência dos atos de violência relacionando-os a variáveis que envolvem tanto as vítimas quanto os agressores. Com base nos dados para o Estado de São Paulo, realiza-se a reflexão sobre as notificações registradas de violência e as variáveis de gênero e de cor.
Inclusão

Published: October 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar reflexões sobre as políticas públicas de inclusão, cujo foco é criar melhores condições de vida e saúde para as pessoas com limitações físicas, sensoriais ou cognitivas, discriminadas pelas suas diferenças. Ao promover a inclusão, criam-se melhores condições para o enfrentamento da violência subjacente à exclusão e ao preconceito sofridos por essas pessoas. Este texto procura integrar as políticas públicas de inclusão e a dinâmica social onde estão inseridas, conduzindo uma compreensão de que os processos de inclusão e exclusão não dependem apenas da formulação de tais políticas, mas das condições psicossocioculturais que definem a vida dos portadores de limitações físicas, sensoriais ou cognitivas.

As evidências científi cas comprovam que os alicerces fundamentais para a saúde, a aprendizagem e o comportamento ao longo da vida são estabelecidos na primeira infância. A Comissão sobre Determinantes Sociais de Saúde da Organização Mundial da Saúde afi rma que uma abordagem integral voltada ao desenvolvimento infantil na primeira infância é estratégia fundamental para promover a equidade na saúde. O Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Saúde (CONASS), mobilizado por essas evidências e diretrizes globais, tem fomentado iniciativas de promoção da saúde a partir dos cuidados com a primeira infância. Em 2008, estabeleceu uma parceria estratégica com o Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development (Centro de Excelência para o Desenvolvimento na Primeira Infância) da Universidade de Montreal, Canadá. Fruto dessa aliança, produtos têm sido disseminados no Brasil e no exterior, dentre os quais se destacam: a versão em português da Enciclopédia sobre o Desenvolvimento na Primeira Infância; o relatório “Prevenir a violência pelo aprendizado na primeira infância”; o fi lme “As origens da agressão”. Promover uma aproximação e colaboração entre as pesquisas, as políticas e os serviços é essencial para qualifi car a assistência prestada à população. Intervir precocemente, sistematicamente e com efi cácia é fundamental para o alcance da equidade na saúde.
Determinantes da prematuridade
Authors: Rodrigues Leone Cléa
Published: October 2023

A prematuridade, por sua persistente frequência e pelo elevado risco de morbimortalidade neonatal associado, ainda constitui um dos maiores desafi os da perinatologia e dos programas populacionais direcionados à redução da mortalidade infantil no mundo. Em 2010, foi estimado que 11,1% dos recém-nascidos vivos no mundo foram prematuros, aproximadamente 15 milhões de crianças. Muito signifi cante também a verifi cação de que essa proporção vinha aumentando ao longo do tempo em muitos países e que foi a maior causa de mortalidade neonatal e a segunda de mortalidade infantil. Um recém-nascido pré-termo já tem um risco elevado de complicações relacionadas ao seu grau de imaturidade, com efeitos em longo prazo, especialmente sobre o seu neurodesenvolvimento. Apesar dos avanços ocorridos na assistência perinatal ao longo do tempo, o controle da prematuridade ainda parece distante, mesmo em países desenvolvidos. Por esse motivo, é necessário que os determinantes mais frequentes da prematuridade em cada população/país sejam identifi cados para que os programas de controle destes possam tornar-se mais efi cientes. Neste texto serão discutidos os principais fatores de risco associados à prematuridade, desde aqueles relacionados ao nascimento prematuro espontâneo até os assim chamados partos prematuros, induzidos ou iniciados, com ênfase para a contribuição do parto cesáreo.
Georreferenciamento das informações da mortalidade infantil

Published: October 2023

O grande desenvolvimento tecnológico observado nos últimos anos propiciou a alocação de computadores individuais e de grande capacidade, a melhoria dos mapas cartográficos, o aprimoramento das bases de logradouros e de informação. Isso também permite que as informações das mais diferentes áreas possam ser melhor analisadas e observadas de uma forma mais prática. Resumidamente, pode-se considerar o georreferenciamento de um dado com endereço, como “o processo de associação desse dado a um mapa e pode ser efetuado de três formas básicas: associação a um ponto, a uma linha ou a uma área”. O exemplo aqui apresentado refere-se aos óbitos infantis de mães residentes na Área Metropolitana de São Paulo para 2012. Nos últimos anos a mortalidade infantil diminuiu acentuadamente no estado e nessa região, porém, permanecem diferenças importantes entre os vários estratos populacionais. Essa é apenas uma entre as muitas informações existentes e possíveis de serem utilizadas, uma vez que o potencial de utilização das informações para o estado de São Paulo é muito grande.
