Change in Human (Moral) Decision-Making and Performance with Automation: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly in Human-Automation Interaction
Authors: Prével Arthur , Lo Bue Salvatore
Published: March 2022

Automation technologies are present in almost every domain of human activity and they are now more and more present in our everyday life. The reason for this massive deployment of automated systems would reside in all the benefits they offer to the users. In experimental settings, multiple studies have demonstrated the positive effects the introduction of automation can have on human decision-making and performance. However, studies have also demonstrated that the introduction of automation can have important negative effects as well. Considering that automation is now introduced in sensitive domains like military defense or medicine, more than ever we need a complete understanding of the effects caused by these systems on human performance and decision-making, and particularly in tasks and contexts with social or moral dimension. In this paper we will firstly review the main effects produced on a human agent’s behaviors by the introduction of automation. Then, we will review the conditions identified as underlying factors of these effects, and see how they are currently integrated in models of human – automation interaction. We will conclude this review by highlighting new directions for future investigations on human – automation interaction.

This study reports results of focus groups with school nurses and teachers from elementary, middle, and high schools to explore their perceptions of child and adolescent oral health. Participants included 14 school nurses and 15 teachers (83% Female; 31% Hispanic, 21% White, 21% Asian, 14% African American, and 13% Others). Respondents were recruited from Los Angeles County schools and scheduled by school level for six one-hour focus groups, using Zoom. Audio recordings were transcribed, reviewed, and saved with anonymization of speaker identities. NVivo software was used to facilitate content analysis and identify key themes. The nurses’ rate of “Oral Health Education” comments statistically exceeded that of teachers, while teachers had higher rates for “Parental Involvement” and “Mutual Perception” “Need for Care” was perceived to be more prevalent in immigrants to the United States based on student behaviors and complaints. “Access to Care” was seen as primarily the nurse’s role. Strong relationships between community clinics and schools were viewed by some as integral to students achieving good oral health. The results suggest dimensions and questions important to item development for oral health surveys of children and parents to address screening, management, program assessment, and policy planning.

Tomatoes, one of the most appreciated vegetables consumed, are crops well adapted for cultivation in arid and semi-arid conditions, the success of large yields is guaranteed by covering water consumption through irrigation. Solar Pumps - SP are driven by Photovoltaic Panels - PV (SPAPV), eliminating the dependence on electricity or diesel; they are environmentally friendly because they generate carbon-free electricity and the cost of operation and maintenance is lower. In order to preserve the water administered by drip to the tomato crop grown in solariums, mulching is used. In Husasău de Tinca, in the Crișurilor Plain, cultivation of tomato varieties without mulching (WM) and with mulching with black foil (MBF) were studied. To answer the question "How effective are water conservation measures in terms of energy independence?", two variants of SPAPVs, direct pumping (ADP) and storage tank (AST) were simulated. Considering the conditions in the solariums, tomato crops do not benefit from the contribution of precipitation, therefore it is proposed to determine the water consumption of tomatoes (ETRo), using the temperatures inside the solarium. In 2016, the average temperatures during the vegetation period were observed with an insurance of over 20 %, the irrigation norms were 6945.7 m3 ha-1, for the WM variant and 6594.0 m3 ha-1 for the MBF variant, respectively. Specific Investment (SI) is 214,795 Euro ha-1 in case of ADP and respectively 202,990 Euro ha-1 in case of ATS. The payback period (IPT) is between 2.68 years and 2.53 years for the ADP variant and between 1.63 years and 1.54 years for the ATS variant, respectively. The indications for water use and irrigation water use show that in the MBF variant the water administered by localized irrigation is better utilized than in the WM variant. In the conditions of Crișurilor Plain, the best solution for the distribution of water in solariums, with the help of SPAPVs is the mulching system of tomatoes grown in solariums (MBF) and the arrangement of the drip irrigation system with a water storage tank (ATS).

In terms of future transportation, flying cars are envisioned not only as air taxis but also as air ambulances. Flying cars such as urban air mobility vehicles, passenger drones, and electrical vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircrafts have the potential to relieve seriously congested ground traffic in cities via direct point-to-point air movements. To date, conventional research in which the airframe of a flying car is optimized for use in medical emergencies has not identified a sustainable solution. The purpose of this study is to verify the technical applicability of a flying car for use in medical emergencies. The weighted sum method is used to optimize the design of multi-rotor, vectored-thrust (tilt-rotor), and lift + cruise types of flying cars. A simulation scenario that considers cruising speed and flight height is conducted based on an analysis of stakeholder interviews with a pilot, an in-flight doctor, and an operating company. To optimize the parameters of a flying car airframe, four objective functions, namely the energy required for a round trip, noise value from rotors, downwash speed from rotors, and landing area size, are chosen because the results of a requirement analysis revealed that they were significant for the sustainability of the flying car system. The results of the simulation reveal that the required battery energy densities for all three types exceed the current lithium-ion battery capacities. Therefore, an upgrade in battery capacity is critical for the realization of a flying car. Although the noise level is found to be less than that of a conventional helicopter, it is necessary to develop a rotor to decrease noise levels for environmental reasons. Finally, both the downwash speed and landing area of a flying car are estimated to be less than those of a conventional helicopter, making it possible for the flying car to land in tight spaces.

Indicador integral de dotación de infraestructuras en las entidades federativas de México, 2005-2015
Authors: Aragón Jiménez Aneliss , Figueroa Elenes Jorge Rafael
Published: March 2022

En este artículo se analiza y evalúa la dotación de infraestructuras en las entidades federativas de México (estados), a partir de la construcción del Indicador Integral de Dotación de Infraestructuras (IIDI), que se genera de la integración de las categorías de infraestructuras productiva, social, medio Ambiente e información y conocimiento. Con la metodología utilizada se comprueba una correlación positiva y significativa del PIB con los valores del IIDI y las distintas categorías de infraestructuras, lo que explica que las entidades con mayor desarrollo atraen mayores inversiones en infraestructura, o bien, que una mayor dotación propicia mayores y mejores condiciones para el progreso económico. Con relación a las desigualdades económicas regionales, se encuentra que los estados más rezagados deben reducir o eliminar sus diferencias con respecto a las dotaciones efectivas de infraestructura de la entidad media, para reducir sus rezagos con respecto al PIB per cápita.

Published: March 2022

Waste production is an indispensable human process that happens daily in all communities. With the population increase and the industry developments, the waste amounts are growing, and their treating processes are taking a bigger share of the transportation and handling tasks in the city logistics. These waste collection, transportation, and treatment are described as waste management has been investigated and developed especially with the various application, solutions, and developments in the logistics, transportation, and industrial areas. Also, with the higher attention to the environmental impact in the different areas, the green aspect of waste management takes more importance particularly in city logistics where congestion occurs regularly. Within this work, waste management is analyzed in Europe generally and Hungary specifically. Eurostat database is used for that purpose next to previous research work tackling this topic. Also, a comparison between the waste management operations in Hungary and Slovakia is discussed to show the difference of these operations’ developments between the two countries between 2014 and 2020.

As additive manufacturing machines price is decreasing, while, at the same time, the expertise in the relevant field is rising, it is essential to test and evaluate the low-budget machines that are available for commercial use. Whilst low-budget machines are widely utilized for rapid prototyping and experimentation, they are not capable of producing parts with high surface quality and achieve high levels of repeatability due to low quality hardware and not optimized software. Having said that, the main aim of the current study is to experiment with a low budget Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D-Printer, and evaluate the surface roughness of the printed parts in respect to the angle from the print plate. Polylactic Acid (PLA) was chosen as filament material, while the printed parts surface roughness was measured according to the ISO ASTM 52902-2021 standard. The surface roughness was estimated in terms of the Ra and Rz values, while a statistical analysis was implemented in order some interesting conclusions to be deduced regarding the correlation between part orientation and surface quality.

Published: March 2022

Objectives. Noise exposure leads to an increase in the macrophage population. This increment is thought to be caused by the transformation of infiltrated monocytes into macrophages rather than by proliferation of the cochlear resident macrophages. However, studies on infiltrated monocytes in the cochlea are scarce. Thus, we aimed to investigate the infiltration of monocytes and their transformation into macrophages after noise exposure.Methods. In wild-type and CX3CR1+/GFP C57/B6 mice, inflammatory monocytes were identified by immunofluorescence of mouse cochlear cells. The findings were confirmed and quantitated by flow cytometry.Results. One day after noise exposure, monocytes were identified in the spiral ligament. Flow cytometric analysis confirmed that the monocyte population peaked on post-noise exposure day 1 and decreased thereafter. On day 3 after noise exposure, amoeboid-type macrophages increased in the crista basilaris, and on day 5, they spread to the basilar membrane.Conclusion. Infiltrated monocytes were successfully observed 1 day after noise exposure, preceding the increase in the macrophage population. This finding supports the proposal that infiltrated monocytes transform into macrophages.

Abstract. Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, the incidence of breast cancer was 2.26 million in 2020, overtaking the incidence of lung cancer. In Russian Federation, the increase in new cases of breast cancer over the ten years from 2005 to 2015 was 31.76 %. Microscopic calcium deposits within breast tissue, microcalcifications, can be early signs of breast cancer. Being a significant diagnostic finding, microcalcifications allow the assessment of the extent of the disease. A detailed understanding of the morphogenesis of microcalcifications can improve knowledge about early stages of breast cancer, but there is no studies that would combine the results of the latest basic scientific research and current knowledge about their clinical significance.

The aim of the study was to analyze and summarize the available data on the prognostic value of microcalcifications in patients with breast cancer.

Material and Methods. A search was carried out for available literary sources published in the Medline, Elibrary, etc. databases for the period since 2015. A total of 250 sources devoted to the analysis of the morphogenesis of microcalcifications and their diagnostic value were found. Of them, 37 were included in this review.

Background.Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. The presence of an unfavorable molecular biological subtype significantly worsens the prognosis, making it necessary to individualize treatment strategy for each patient.

The aim of the studywas to demonstrate the achievement of long-term remission in the treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. Case description. A 42-year-old patient presented to Ryazan Oncologic Dispensary in October 2006 with complaints of lump in her left breast. She was diagnosed with stage cT2N0M0 triple-negative carcinoma of the left breast. She underwent radical mastectomy for left breast cancer (October, 2006). Disease progression (metastases to lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes) occurred in June 2009. The patient received 6 courses of polychemotherapy according to the FAC regimen with a favorable response. In February 2011, the patient was found to have metastatic lesion in the brain, which was surgically removed in March, 2011. She received metronome chemotherapy. Recurrence of brain metastasis occurred 6 months after chemotherapy. The patient received external beam radiation therapy, which resulted in tumor regression, and metronomic chemotherapy was continued with a positive effect. The patient was followed up for 6 years with no evidence of disease progression. In July 2019, the follow-up examination revealed stage cT2N0M0 triple-negative cancer in the right breast. The patient underwent radical mastectomy for the right breast and 8 courses of adjuvant polychemotherapy (4 courses of AC + 4 courses of paclitaxel). The patient is alive with no signs of disease progression.

Conclusion.This clinical case demonstrated personalized approach to the treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Fifteen years had passed since the detection of the primary tumor. During this time, the disease progressed three times, and breast cancer was diagnosed on the opposite side. Combined modality treatment including chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy allowed satisfactory results to be achieved. The patient is still alive with no signs of disease progression.

Published: March 2022

Background. Despite the fact that cerebral astrocytoma belongs to low-grade tumors (grade II gliomas), it often leads to disability and death of patients. The localization of the tumor determines the severity of the clinical symptoms of the disease, which significantly affects its prognosis. The choice of the optimal treatment strategy for astrocytoma localized in the brain stem poses challenges and enables the vast majority of patients to be classified as inoperable. Therefore, radiation therapy or chemoradiotherapy are the main treatment modalities for patients with low-grade glioma. The location of the tumor in close proximity to vital centers makes radiation therapy planning difficult., because the delivery of high doses of radiation can cause serious treatment complications.

Description of the clinical case. We present a clinical case of a successful treatment of a young, 20-year-old male patient with diffuse astrocytoma of the brain stem. As radical surgery was impossible to be performed, the patient was offered radiation therapy. The morphology, size, and location of the primary tumor posed challenges for selecting an optimal treatment strategy due to a high risk of damage to vital centers, which could lead to disability and even death of the patient. The use of proton therapy made it possible to deliver the maximum allowable dose of radiation to the tumor, limiting radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. The patient received the complete course of proton therapy. After 36 months of follow-up, no complications and signs of disease progression were found.

Conclusion. Despite the high risk of treatment complications, the use of proton therapy made it possible to complete the planned course of treatment, achieve tumor stabilization and significantly improve the life quality of the patient.

Published: March 2022

Aim of the study: to evaluate the results of using intraoperative radiotherapy (IO RT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (RC).

Material and Methods. A total of 172 patients with histologically confirmed stage II –III (pT3–4 or pN+) RC were included in this retrospective analysis; of those, 92 (53,5 %) were treated with IO RT alone and 80 (46,5 %) received both neoadjuvant EBRT and IO RT. The median follow-up was 25 months for the IO RT group and 22 months for the EBRT/IO RT group (p=0,52).

Results. The incidence of toxicity was low in both groups with an overall complication rate of 5,4 %. There were no statistically significant differences between both groups in 4-year overall survival rates (59,1 % in the IO RT group versus 67,4 % in the EBRT / IO RT group, p=0,66), progression-free survival (53,6 versus 55,1 %, p=0,51) and local progression free survival (59,4 versus 65,4 %, p=0,70).

Conclusion. IO RT for locally advanced RC is a safe method that ensures adequate local control and can be considered as an effective treatment method both in an isolated version and in integration into a multimodal treatment algorithm in a specialized oncological clinics.

Authors: Shunko E. L. , Vazhenin A. V. , Shanazarov N. A.
Published: March 2022

Aim. To assess the possibility of using empirical models for predicting a second metachronous tumor after chemotherapy of the first one to improve the efficiency of prophylactic medical examination of cancer patients.

Material and Мethods. The objects of the study are electronic databases on the chemotherapy treatment of cancer patients, extracts from the database on the treatment of patients with PM oncology for the period 1990–2015, case histories and medical records of 796 patients with metachronous PM oncology: experimental group – 496 patients after chemotherapy, control group – 300 patients after surgical treatment of the first tumor, the sample size was not previously calculated.

Results. Empirical models for predicting a second metachronous tumor after chemotherapy of the first one showed the highest probability of a second metachronous tumor in three time intervals: 1256.00–1884.00 days (3.44–5.16 years; HR=2.25; tumor is 69.2 %), 3768.00–4396.00 days (10.32–12.04 years; HR=3.86; chance 79.4 %), 6280.00–6908.00 days (17, 21–18.93 years; HR=2.00; 66.7 % chance.

Conclusion. Based on the results of the analysis of empirical risk models for a second metachronous tumor after chemotherapy of the first one, amendments were developed to the timing of dispensary observation of patients with primary multiple metachronous malignant neoplasms after chemotherapy of the first tumor. Knowledge of the most probable timing of the occurrence of a second metachronous tumor after chemotherapy of the first one makes it possible to more accurately draw up and, if necessary, adjust the plan for dispensary observation after chemotherapy treatment of the first tumor.
A Physical Study to Explain Response Differences between the BID and FID Detectors for PAHs and Pesticides
Authors: Lopes Amanda , Gouveia Jr. Florêncio , Nascimento Hélio , da Silva Vitor , Barbosa Pablo , Carvalho Tecia , do Nascimento Ronaldo
Published: March 2022

The dielectric barrier discharge ionization detector (BID) is one of the most modern detectors commercially available for gas chromatography (GC). Its technology based on the sample ionization through the energy released from the helium plasma generation process gives it the ability to act as a universal detector and a greater response to various types of compounds compared to the well-established flame ionization detector (FID). In this study, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organophosphates (OPPs) and organochlorines pesticides (OCPs) were investigated. The parameters that could explain the performance of the BID and FID detectors were: structural factors, ionization energy (IE) and energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO), which were obtained by density functional theory (DFT). The relative (BID/FID) responses to PAHs and pesticides were about 1.8 and 3.0 times greater than FID, respectively. Less structural dependence of the BID signal compared to the FID signal was observed. Among the parameters calculated by DFT, the IE was the one that most seemed to have influenced the response of the two detectors studied. The theoretical data proved to be quite consistent to explain the trends observed experimentally, especially to the BID.

Published: March 2022

Neste artigo, trazemos à cena uma sala de aula de biologia ocupada pela curiosidade e questionamentos a respeito da forma de reprodução das ostras. A partir de uma experiência etnográfica em uma escola em Aracaju-SE, expomos o excerto do diário de campo que detalha esse encontro-potência e os diálogos decorrentes, bem como algumas bases conceituais que contornam sentidos aos discursos acionados a partir das questões. Tomamos como referência os estudos pós-críticos, especificamente os estudos de gênero e os estudos culturais pós-estruturalistas, onde nos alinhamos ao pensamento analítico de Michel Foucault para visualizarmos os conjuntos de práticas pelas quais os sujeitos-corpos são submetidos aos mais variados agenciamentos. Nessas problematizações, debruçamo-nos sobre as relações de saber-poder que tem como marcadores sexualidade e gênero na história do corpo, articulando-as aos fragmentos de narrativas que perpassam o presente trabalho. Assim, tecemos reflexões a respeito dos engendramentos de corpos sexuados e generificados. Discorremos, ainda, sobre as heterotopias do desvio como lugares que a sociedade dispõe em suas margens.

IRONIA EM AMAR, VERBO INTRANSITIVO-IDÍLIO DE MÁRIO DE ANDRADE
Authors: Anjos Neto João Dantas dos , de Cerqueira Montino Bruno
Published: March 2022

A ironia como figura de linguagem serve oportunamente como instrumento subversivo. Expressa por vezes, de forma não análoga o que se pensa ou sente. Visto que, o corpo pode expressar determinados sentimentos, enquanto que a oralidade o contrasta de forma proposital, essa performatividade desconstrói a narrativa linear e introduz novos significados. De forma proposital, conduzindo à crítica, a irritação, a ridicularização do sujeito ou fato social. Contudo, essa investigação, tem como problema de pesquisa quais relações podem ser estabelecidas entre a ironia, suas manifestações iconoclastas e cotidiano presente na obra “Amar, verbo intransitivo-idílio, de Mário de Andrade. Partiremos dessa questão, para manifestar as pretensões do autor em fundar um novo padrão estético, político, literário, focando principalmente nos acontecimentos da chamada fase heroica do modernismo brasileiro. Tal intento se fará possível através da análise de conceitos abordados na referida obra, partindo do método comparativo desses conceitos na tradição, no contexto histórico, na estética, na ética e principalmente na ironia, conceito primordial deste artigo. O autor ao afirmar um significante para negar seu significado, altera seu campo semântico, gerando múltiplos sentidos, acrescentando aos termos da oração mais informações do que normalmente costumavam conotar, ao usufruir dos benefícios que a ironia possui, agrega-se um caráter singular e moderno a sua escrita.
SINCRETISMO... ESSA PALAVRA MAL DITA
Authors: Dias Júlio Cesar Tavares
Published: March 2022

O texto faz um apanhado histórico mostrando como o tema do sincretismo foi tratado em diversos períodos pela pesquisa acadêmica. Desde o começo do texto, porém, firmamos e buscamos justificar nossa opção por entender o sincretismo como o definiu Pierre Sanchis: como um universal humano de quando uma cultura entra em contato como outra, como processo e não como resultado, como uma apropriação de relações entre o universo próprio e o do outro. O sincretismo não seria também um processo exclusivo dos sistemas religiosos, sendo que estes podem, inclusive, entrar em processo de sincretismo com conceitos e ideias de sistemas não religiosos de sentido: a Modernidade, por exemplo. Entender assim o sincretismo nos livra de imaginá-lo como uma característica própria do povo brasileiro ou como algo pejorativo.

O presente artigo procura abordar certas experiências de valorização do bem-estar e da leveza a partir de casos de entrelaçamento que partem do catolicismo e se interseccionam com práticas orientais, saberes psicológicos e terapêuticos. Tal discussão segue como norte teórico o conceito de “corpo hipermoderno” desenvolvido por Gilles Lipovetsky, e toma como principal ancoragem empírica o caso da modalidade de yoga cristã criada pelo sacerdote jesuíta Haroldo J. Rahm.
VELHICES
Authors: Cézar Adriane G. A. do
Published: March 2022

O objetivo do presente artigo é discutir aspectos essenciais sobre a temática do envelhecimento, a partir de um olhar sociológico. Assim nos debruçamos em dialogar a partir da seguinte problemática: como a velhice é pensada, enxergada e vivenciada, para além de um corpo biológico que envelhece? Quais os significados do envelhecimento? Justifica-se a importância desse objeto de estudo, quando é sabido que nossa sociedade já caminha rumos a um processo de transição demográfica e nesse sentido, os velhos precisam ser pensados como atores importantes a partir de uma concepção demográfica, de políticas públicas, saúde e também sociabilidades. Para tanto, como metodologia, fez-se uso de uma revisão bibliográfica a partir de diferentes e importantes autores que escrevem sobre o tema, além de uma pesquisa qualitativa, com 17 entrevistados, cujos resultados demostraram que o corpo velho em termos de anos vividos não pode ser dissociado de um corpo social carregado de significados.

É no âmbito do Laboratório de Leitura Critica da Mídia que este artigo é gestado, sendo fruto de pesquisas continuadas sobre como a comunicação e a mediação tem alterado a forma de vida dos atores sociais, sobretudo o impacto das mídias no receptor e mais fortemente a partir do surgimento e da consolidação das mídias sociais digitais, que têm alterado a forma como os sujeitos se posicionam diante da vida e como têm se reconstruído em função de uma falsa necessidade de pertencimento, de estar incluído, de fazer parte. É nesta nova ambiência que a interrelação discursiva entre identidade e imagem e, consequentemente, a construção identitária decorrente deste processo, tem refletido e, de certa maneira, interferido na construção de um corpo que tem muito rapidamente deixado de ser real, passando a ser cada vez mais fictício: falamos dos corpos tecnológicos, verdadeiros avatares. Este estudo tem como base teórica a Teoria Ator Rede - TAR e a noção de pertencimento decorrente desta interação e busca, a partir da reflexão sobre o que estamos construindo com essa dependência tecnológica e a construção de corpos ‘ajeitados’ para atender modelos globais adequados ao gosto do outro, desconstruindo sua identidade em função de uma imagem que agrade ao outro, de tal forma que o indivíduo-marca tem sido uma realidade cada vez mais presente nos meios de comunicação digital, agora em uma versão tecnológica que aqui denominamos de corpos avatares.
ATIVISMO ONLINE

A cultura digital vem se mostrando uma alternativa viável e mais acessível para muitas mulheres, jovens e adolescentes, se comunicarem e se organizarem coletivamente a partir do tema corpo. Páginas e grupos que trazem relatos de experiências e questionamentos em redes sociais como o YouTube, Facebook e o Instagram vem aumentando em número e importância, facilitando a troca de conhecimento, a partilha de vivências e a ajuda mútua entre mulheres em um ambiente que é caracterizado principalmente pela possibilidade de interatividade. Reconhecendo que a mensagem veiculada na internet pode repercutir na vida e na autoestima de pessoas dentro e fora do ambiente digital tanto de maneira positiva como negativa, a presente pesquisa se propõe a investigar sobre a recepção das performances de Tour Pelo Meu Corpo, que são produzidas Luíza Junqueira e Ellora Haonne no YouTube. Objetiva-se compreender como estas se articulam à autoimagem corporal de seus públicos e de que maneira os processos de aceitação corporal podem se modificar a partir destas performances. Trata de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que utiliza-se da etnografia de mídia com Christine Hine para a produção de dados e busca categorizar os resultados obtidos a partir do modelo de codificação e decodificação de Stuart Hall. Por resultado percebe-se que, ao tornarem os vídeos da tag "tour pelo meu corpo" públicos, suas reflexões iniciam um questionamento ativista contra um único modelo de corpo magro como ideal.
Ekoteologia prawosławna w ujęciu “zielonego patriarchy” Bartłomieja I
Authors: Leonkiewicz Łukasz
Published: March 2022

Przez ostatnie trzydzieści lat patriarcha Bartłomiej I dążył do wypracowania w świadomości prawosławnej wrażliwości na kwestie ochrony środowiska naturalnego. Liczne przygotowane przez niego inicjatywy doprowadziły do tego, że temat ten zaistniał na stałe w refleksji teologicznej, w kalendarzu liturgicznym, w modlitwach mnichów i wiernych Kościoła prawosławnego. Związani z patriarchatem konstantynopolitańskim działacze prawosławni propagują ideę ochrony środowiska, wcielają ją w życie, dając przykład innym środowiskom prawosławnym. Z pewnością nie jest to kwestia zakończona. Patriarcha Bartłomiej wciąż na nowo podejmuje działania na rzecz ekologii, głosi stale potrzebę uwrażliwienia się na świat natury i podjęcie działań w celu ochronienia go. Swoją działalnością rozpoczął bardzo współczesną aktywność Kościoła prawosławnego, pokazując, że teologia może i powinna podejmować kwestie współczesne. Rozświetlanie współczesnych problemów tradycją patrystyczną może doprowadzić do odświeżenia współczesnej dyskusji teologicznej i ożywienia jej w kontekście nowych wyzwań, jakie stoją przed Kościołem prawosławnym w XXI wieku. Dzięki jego aktywności na polu ekoteologii następne pokolenia ludzi Kościoła będą mogły korzystać z tego, co zostało już wypracowane, będą mogły rozwijać zagadnienia dotychczas nie podjęte i rozpocząć współpracę międzywyznaniową na rzecz budowania wrażliwości ekologicznej w Kościele. Najlepszym przykładem takiej działalności jest encyklika papieża Franciszka “Laudato Si”, w której wspominane jest nauczanie patriarchy Bartłomieja I o “konieczności wyrażenia skruchy z powodu braku naszej dbałości o planetę”[1]. Pozostaje jedynie mieć nadzieję, że przyszłe pokolenia będą czerpały z dziedzictwa, jakie patriarcha Bartłomiej wypracował przez ostatnie trzydzieści lat.

MicroRNAs in Various Body Fluids and their Importance in Forensic Medicine
Authors: Das Srijit , Teoh Seong Lin
Published: March 2022

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. miRNAs have tissue-specific expression and are also present in various extracellular body fluids, including blood, tears, semen, vaginal fluid, and urine. Additionally, the expression of miRNAs in body fluids is linked to various pathological diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Examination of body fluids is important in forensic medicine as they serve as a valuable form of evidence. Due to its stability, miRNA offers an advantage for body fluid identification, which can be detected even after several months or from compromised samples. Identification of unique miRNA profiles for different body fluids enables the identification of the body fluids. Furthermore, miRNAs profiling can be used to estimate post-mortem interval. Various biochemical and molecular methods used for the identification of miRNAs have shown promising results. We discuss different miRNAs as specific biomarkers and their clinical importance in different pathological conditions, as well as their medicolegal importance.
Predicting the Overall Survival in Patients with Advanced Pancreatic
Cancer by Calculating L3 Skeletal Muscle Index Derived from CT
Authors: Özkul Bahattin , Özkul Özlem , Bilir Cemil
Published: March 2022

Background:

Pancreatic cancer is mostly diagnosed in advanced stages, and treatment results
are not satisfactory. L3 skeletal muscle index (SMI) has emerged as a prognostic factor in pancreatic
cancer patients. We aimed to assess the association between sarcopenia and overall survival in
patients with pancreatic cancer in this study.

Methods:

Patients who were admitted to the Department of Oncology between March 2012 and December
2019 and diagnosed with pancreatic cancer were evaluated. The computerized tomography
images and laboratory parameters of a total of 115 patients were included in this retrospective singlecenter
study. We defined sarcopenia as an SMI <43,56 cm²/m² for females and <56,44 cm²/m² for
males using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve in the study population. Univariate and
multivariate analyses were performed by using Cox-regression modelling, and survival curves were
constructed by using Kaplan-Meier method.

Results:

70% of the patients were male, and the mean age was 64.9±9.9 years (mean ± SD). 70.6% of
female patients and 67.9% of male patients were diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The prevalence of
sarcopenia in the whole patient group was 29.6%. By multivariate analysis, SMI (p=0.009) and advanced
stage (p=0.003) were found as poor prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). The neutrophil
to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was statistically significantly higher in sarcopenic patients than in nonsarcopenic
patients (p=0.031).

Conclusion:

Patients having sarcopenia at the time of diagnosis may demonstrate poorer overall survival
of pancreatic cancer, and SMI may be considered as a potential prognostic factor.
Evidence and Updates on Non-dairy Synbiotic Beverage Development
Authors: Andrade Rhaissa Coelho , Figueredo Caroline Santana , de Carvalho Alves Janaina , Roselino Mariana Nougalli
Published: March 2022

Background:

With the increase in cases of intolerance and allergies to milk protein,
new food possibilities have been studied as an alternative to dairy drinks in order to
meet the needs of this population, such as non-dairy synbiotic drinks.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to carry out an integrative literature review on the
main types of non-dairy synbiotic beverages in order to investigate the probiotics and
prebiotics added to them. Besides, we also looked into the characteristics of the substrates
and fermentation conditions (temperature, time, and pH) to assess the influences on bacterial
viability, consumer acceptance, conservation, and antimicrobial action.

Methods:

We conducted an integrative review of articles published in Pubmed, Web of
Science, Scielo, Scopus, and Capes journals in the last five years, using the following
terms: symbiotic drink, symbiotic beverage, synbiotic drink, synbiotic beverage, bebida
simbiótica, not kombucha, which resulted in the inclusion of 28 articles.

Results:

As expected, the main probiotics were lactobacillus and bifidobacterium, while
the prebiotics were inulin and fructooligosaccharide. It is noteworthy that all analyzed beverages
were, in fact, probiotics since they had values above the minimum viability of 6 log
CFU/mL; consequently, they can bring benefits to consumers.

Conclusion:

In addition to being rich sources of nutrients, fruits and vegetables also enable
the development of synbiotic drinks supplied from their substrates, providing an alternative
for people who are lactose intolerant.
