Factors associated with diet quality of adolescents in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Mumena Walaa Abdullah
Published: August 2024

Introduction

Research exploring factors that may influence the diet quality of adolescents in the Middle East are very limited. We aimed to investigate factors associated with diet quality and the weight status of adolescents in Saudi Arabia.

Methods

A cross-sectional study that included 638 healthy adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years who were randomly recruited from 16 private and public middle- and high-schools located in two Saudi cities (Jeddah and Madinah). All participants were given an envelope for parents to collect socioeconomic data. Diet quality and anthropometric data of adolescents were evaluated at school.

Results

Median diet quality score was higher among males compared to female adolescents (10.00 (8.00–11.00) vs. 9.00 (8.00–10.0), respectively, p = 0.018). Median diet quality score was significantly higher among adolescents residing in Jeddah compared to adolescents residing in Madinah (10.00 (9.00–11.0) vs. 9.00 (8.00–10.0), respectively, p = 0.002). Stepwise linear regression analysis indicated that city of residence (B = −0.53, SE = 0.16 [95% CI: −0.83 to −0.22]), and child’s sex (B = −0.34, SE = 0.15 [95% CI: −0.64 to −0.05]) were associated with diet quality scores of adolescents in Saudi Arabia.

Discussion

Future longitudinal research should be directed to further investigate other possible factors influencing the diet quality of adolescents and individuals from other age groups in Saudi Arabia.

Introduction

Pregnant individuals have an increased risk of severe illness from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Vaccination is an effective strategy to prevent severe illness and complications for pregnant individuals. Pregnant individuals are often excluded from research and remain hesitant to receive vaccination against COVID-19. It is pivotal to study factors related to vaccine uptake and hesitancy among pregnant individuals. We studied barriers and facilitators for pregnant individuals choice and motivation regarding vaccination against COVID-19 during pregnancy to aid future pregnant individuals in their decision to vaccinate against various infectious agents.

Methods

In this qualitative study, pregnant individuals were interviewed between October 2021 and January 2022 using a semi-structured approach. A topic list was used to explore their feelings, perceptions and ideas regarding vaccination against COVID-19 during pregnancy. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematic analyses was performed using MAX QDA.

Results

After nine interviews, saturation was reached. Three main themes were identified that influenced pregnant individuals choice and motivation regarding vaccination: health consequences, ambiguity of information and societal motivation. Health consequences mainly concerned the effect for their offspring, and the unknown long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccination. The advice from the Dutch institute for Public Health and Environment changed from not vaccinating pregnant individuals after release of the developed vaccine, to routinely vaccinating all pregnant individuals after research data were available from the United States of America (USA). This change of policy fuelled doubt and confusion for vaccination. Arguments in favor of vaccination from the social perspective were specific behaviour rules and restrictions due to the pandemic. E.g. without vaccination people were unable to travel abroad and having to take a COVID-19 test every time entering a public place.

Conclusion

Pregnant individuals need clear, unambiguous information concerning health consequences, short- and long-term, particularly for their offspring, in the decision-making process regarding COVID-19 vaccination. Additionally, the societal perspective needs to be addressed. Besides the aforementioned themes, general counselling should focus on misperceptions of vaccine safety and the role of misinformation which are also important in the non-pregnant population. This study underlines the importance of including pregnant individuals in research programs to obtain specific information targeted to their needs.
Analysis of turnover intention and influencing factors among female nurses with two children in Grade A tertiary public hospitals in Sichuan province: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Ling Chengrong , Tao Liande , Wang Xin , Wu Yunlian , Chai Yong , Zhang Lan
Published: August 2024

Objective

This study aims to examine the current status of turnover intention among female nurses with two children and explore the factors influencing their decision to resign, ultimately providing a basis for reducing nurses’ turnover intention and stabilizing the nursing workforce.

Methods

A convenience sampling method was used to select 1,370 in-service female nurses with two children from 65 Grade A tertiary public hospitals in Sichuan Province from September to December 2023. Data was collected through a general information questionnaire, work-family behavioral role conflict scale, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and turnover intention scale.

Results

This study revealed that the average score for turnover intention among female nurses with two children was (13.11 ± 3.93). There was a positive correlation between work-family behavioral role conflict and turnover intention (r = 0.485, p < 0.01), while regulatory emotional self-efficacy showed a negative correlation with turnover intention (r = −0.382, p < 0.01). The main influencing factors for resignation among these nurses included age, number of night shifts per month, average monthly income, primary caregiver for children, work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict, and the ability to express positive emotions (POS), the capacity to regulate negative emotions such as despondency/distress (DES), and the skill to manage anger/irritation (ANG). Collectively, these factors explained 29.5% of the total variance in turnover intention scores.

Conclusion

Turnover intention among female nurses with two children is relatively high. To address this issue, hospital managers shall implement effective measures through various channels to settle work–family conflict, enhance nurses’ regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and reduce turnover intention resulting from work–family conflict. Together, these efforts will reduce nurse turnover and foster a stable nursing workforce.

Published: August 2024

Introduction

Cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke are significant global health concerns. However, gaps persist in understanding the impact of these disorders on women of reproductive age in Central Asia. This study aimed to analyze the health policies implemented in Central Asian countries to address the healthcare needs of this demographic and to forecast future trends in prevalence rates.

Methodology

We forecasted future trends in prevalence rates, years of life lost, years lived with disability, and disability-adjusted life years for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke using publicly available data. Two data sources were utilized: health policy documents issued by the governments of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, and data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Forecasting models, including ARIMA, were employed to predict trends until 2030.

Results

The results indicate an anticipated increase in cardiovascular disease prevalence from 1856.55 in 2020 to 2007.07 by 2029 in Kazakhstan, a subtle increase in Kyrgyzstan from 2492.22 to 2558.69 over 10 years, and similar trends in other countries.

Conclusion

The analysis of policy documents revealed a lack of specific focus on addressing cardiovascular disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes outside the contexts of pregnancy and childbirth. Understanding these trends is crucial for informing targeted health interventions and resource allocation to mitigate the impact of these diseases on women’s health in Central Asia.

Published: August 2024

Introduction

Hemorrhage remains a leading cause of death in civilian and military trauma. Hemorrhages also extend to military working dogs, who can experience injuries similar to those of the humans they work alongside. Unfortunately, current physiological monitoring is often inadequate for early detection of hemorrhage. Here, we evaluate if features extracted from the arterial waveform can allow for early hemorrhage prediction and improved intervention in canines.

Methods

In this effort, we extracted more than 1,900 features from an arterial waveform in canine hemorrhage datasets prior to hemorrhage, during hemorrhage, and during a shock hold period. Different features were used as input to decision tree machine learning (ML) model architectures to track three model predictors—total blood loss volume, estimated percent blood loss, and area under the time versus hemorrhaged blood volume curve.

Results

ML models were successfully developed for total and estimated percent blood loss, with the total blood loss having a higher correlation coefficient. The area predictors were unsuccessful at being directly predicted by decision tree ML models but could be calculated indirectly from the ML prediction models for blood loss. Overall, the area under the hemorrhage curve had the highest sensitivity for detecting hemorrhage at approximately 4 min after hemorrhage onset, compared to more than 45 min before detection based on mean arterial pressure.

Conclusion

ML methods successfully tracked hemorrhage and provided earlier prediction in canines, potentially improving hemorrhage detection and objectifying triage for veterinary medicine. Further, its use can potentially be extended to human use with proper training datasets.
Ceramic–polymer hybrid coatings for diverse applications
Authors: K R C Soma Raju , R Subasri , K Srinivasa Rao
Published: August 2024

The sol–gel process is a simple wet chemical method used to generate nano-crystalline or nano-scaled amorphous ceramic and ceramic–polymer hybrid coatings. Pure ceramic and pure polymer coatings have certain limitations for use over a wide range of applications due to the high-temperature heat treatment requirement for the former and poor mechanical properties of the latter. Hence, ceramic–polymer hybrid coatings are the need of the hour for use in diverse applications on different substrates. Furthermore, bioinspired multifunctional coatings that mimic complex geometrics of the lotus leaf, pitcher plant, etc., are being investigated for their use in corrosion protection, biofilm inhibition, antifouling, etc. Such complex geometries can be generated by a combination of physical and chemical modifications of a surface. In the case of the chemical modification of a surface, instead of a pure ceramic or pure polymer coating, a ceramic–polymer hybrid coating would be the choice, as, a rigid backbone is provided by the ceramic (metal oxide network) moiety and a flexible structure by the polymeric moiety. This review discusses the sol–gel-derived pure ceramic and ceramic–polymer hybrid coatings, their applications, challenges, research gaps as they have been evolving over the years, and two nature-inspired phenomena, namely, superhydrophobicity and self-healing, that have been widely researched for use in various applications.

Published: August 2024

Introduction

Symptoms of depression in early childhood have been linked to interpersonal difficulties, whereas friendships serve a protective function.

Methods

In the present study, we examined depression symptoms in preschool age (4 years) in relation to social skills (communication and cooperation), and friendships into early school age (Grades 1 and 2) in a large subsample (n = 943) of Norwegian children.

Results

The results indicated that preschool depression symptoms negatively predicted Grade 1 communication skills, which in turn predicted Grade 2 depression symptoms. This pathway suggests that communication skills may be a maintenance factor for depression symptoms in young children. In addition, preschool depression symptoms predicted lower Grade 1 cooperation skills, which in turn predicted lower Grade 2 communication skills, suggesting that preschool depression symptoms may begin a cascade of social skill problems that affect cooperation and communication skills into early school years. Best friendships were negatively related to depression symptoms in preschool and Grade 2.

Discussion

Given that preschool depression symptoms impact the development of social skills and friendships, it is important to attend to depression symptoms in early childhood.

Published: August 2024

Parrotfishes (family Scaridae) are important to coral reef ecosystems and highly prized by both commercial and recreational fishers in the Hawaiian Islands. Although parrotfishes are known to be strictly diurnal, our knowledge of their habitat use and movement patterns across daily timescales in tropical systems is still somewhat limited. Here, acoustic telemetry was used to determine parrotfish habitat use and movements within a coral reef seascape at Puakō, Hawai‘i. An array of acoustic receivers was deployed in a nearshore reef to track fine-scale movements of two common species: ember parrotfish (Scarus rubroviolaceus) and palenose parrotfish (Scarus psittacus). Transmitters were mounted externally on fish and tracked over a four-week period using an acoustic positioning system. Coral habitats (reef flat, fore reef) within the study area were mapped and used in conjunction with triangulated positions to characterize habitat use and movements. Findings indicated that both species commonly inhabited the fore reef habitat during the day (91.6% and 95.0% of total detections, respectively), spending limited time in the reef flat during the day and no time in this habitat at night. Activity spaces (based on 95% and 50% kernel utilization distributions) indicated that home ranges and core use of both species were significantly larger during the day than night, with daytime home ranges (mean ±1 SD) significantly greater for ember parrotfish (8,712 ± 1,991 m2) than palenose parrotfish (3,725 ± 1,254 m2). Hourly mean detections peaked during crepuscular periods for palenose parrotfish and to a lesser extent for ember parrotfish, which was linked to movements between shallower daytime (foraging) and nighttime (resting) areas. Kernel utilization distributions indicated that both species occupied similar core use areas of the seascape (overlap index > 0.5), with both intra- and interspecific overlapping distributions present. Finding from this study highlight the value of the fore reef habitat for both daytime foraging and nocturnal resting activities of ember parrotfish and palenose parrotfish. This study also affords valuable information on primary activity spaces of both species as well as overlap between these two common congeners, which is essential for developing management strategies to conserve parrotfish populations.

Authors: Blanco-Sacristán Javier , Johansen Kasper , McCabe Matthew F.
Published: August 2024

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15, “Life on Land”, is one of the 17 SDGs of the United Nations. SDGs are goals for achieving a better and more sustainable future for everyone. SDG 15 focuses on protecting, restoring and sustainably using land-based ecosystems. Among the many tools scientists can use to achieve SDG 15, remote sensing allows them to capture data from space to monitor and assess land cover and identify when ecosystems are unhealthy. Remote sensing provides valuable information about forests, wetlands and other land-based ecosystems, helping people manage and protect important areas. The fast, accurate data provided by remote sensing can be used by governments to make informed decisions and create policies that will help the world reach SDG 15 targets of protecting life on land.
Observations of phosphorus-bearing molecules in the interstellar medium
Authors: Fontani Francesco
Published: August 2024

The chemistry of phosphorus (31P) in space is particularly significant due to the key role it plays in biochemistry on Earth. Utilising radio and infrared spectroscopic observations, several key phosphorus-containing molecules have been detected in interstellar clouds, circumstellar shells, and even extragalactic sources. Among these, phosphorus nitride (PN) was the first P-bearing molecule detected in space, and still is the species detected in the largest number of sources. Phosphorus oxide (PO) and phosphine (PH3) were also crucial species due to their role both in chemical networks and in forming biogenic compounds. The still limited high-angular resolution observations performed so far are shading light on the geometrical distribution of these molecules, which represent crucial insights on their formation processes. Observations have also highlighted the challenges and complexities associated with detecting and understanding phosphorus chemistry in space, owing to the low elemental abundance of P relative to other elements. This review article provides a state-of-art picture of the observational results obtained so far on phosphorus compounds in the interstellar medium. Special attention is given to star-forming regions, and to their implications for our understanding of prebiotic chemistry and the potential for life beyond Earth. Our knowledge of the dominant formation and destruction pathways of the most abundant species has improved, but critical questions remain open, among which: what is (are) the main phosphorus carrier(s) in space? Upcoming new facilities are expected to contribute significantly to this field, offering opportunities to both detect new phosphorus-bearing molecules and enlarge the number of sources in which the chemistry of P can be studied. The synergy between observations, theoretical models, laboratory experiments, and computational chemistry is mandatory to significantly progress in our comprehension of the chemistry of this important but poorly studied chemical element.
Case Report: Superior mesenteric artery vasculitis causing aneurysm following COVID-19 infection

Published: August 2024

Objective

Arteritis refers to all infectious and non-infectious conditions that lead to inflammation of the arterial wall. However, little is known about its presence in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Most patients improved with steroids along with conservative treatments in a few studies. We report our experience with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) arteritis causing an aneurysm following COVID-19 infection.

Case presentation

A 66-year-old female patient who was infected with COVID-19 1 month prior presented with abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan revealed proximal SMA arteritis. Although preliminary antibacterial treatment was initiated, the follow-up CT revealed an aggressive and fast-growing 5.7-cm SMA aneurysm. Subsequently, an open interposition bypass of the SMA aneurysm was performed successfully. As the specimens retrieved during surgery showed no bacterial colonization in the tissue or blood cultures, the patient was discharged without complications.

Conclusions

The mechanism of arteritis in patients with COVID-19 has not been elucidated. In the absence of evidence of bacterial infection in arteritis, it is necessary to consider the possibility of viral infection caused by COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic era and start with high-dose steroid therapy promptly.
Management of perioperative anticoagulation in patients with mechanical heart valve replacement undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report of postoperative cerebral embolism
Authors: He Wei , Tang Panli
Published: August 2024

Patients with mechanical heart valve replacement require lifelong anticoagulation therapy, and additional surgeries can pose a risk of bleeding and thromboembolic events due to the need for perioperative anticoagulation management. Here, we present a case report of a patient who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) after mechanical heart valve replacement and experienced postoperative cerebral embolism. The management of perioperative anticoagulation in these patients is discussed, including strategies for minimizing the risks of bleeding and thromboembolic events during and after surgery.
Case Report: Toxic megacolon secondary to chronic constipation and cocaine consumption
Authors: Dimas Bertha , Hernández Guillermo , Peralta Ivonne , Godinez Ansony , Gutierrez Gabriela , Cruz Fernando
Published: August 2024

Toxic megacolon (TM) is a severe condition characterized by acute colonic dilation, with specific radiological and clinical signs. The multifactorial etiology of TM is primarily associated with inflammatory bowel disease and infections. However, TM remains a challenging complication due to its potential for rapid progression to life-threatening conditions. This report describes a rare case of TM in a 25-year-old male with a history of recurrent constipation and chronic cocaine consumption. Examination and imaging indicated acute intestinal obstruction with dilated colon segments and fecal impaction, necessitating an urgent laparotomy. Surgery revealed pan-colonic dilatation and sigmoid perforations, leading to a total colectomy and ileostomy. Chronic constipation, often perceived as benign, can escalate into a critical situation, possibly exacerbated by cocaine-induced muscle weakness and hypoxia. Evidence suggests that cocaine negatively affects the intestinal mucosa, potentially leading to ischemia. Chronic factors, including the use of enemas, may have contributed to megacolon development and perforation. Overall, this report underscores the critical elements of diagnosis and the importance of patients’ medical history, particularly those with unusual risk profiles. In addition, it highlights the need for further research to fully understand the implications of these cases.
Stem cell-based approaches for developmental neurotoxicity testing
Authors: Ku Joy , Asuri Prashanth
Published: August 2024

Neurotoxicants are substances that can lead to adverse structural or functional effects on the nervous system. These can be chemical, biological, or physical agents that can cross the blood brain barrier to damage neurons or interfere with complex interactions between the nervous system and other organs. With concerns regarding social policy, public health, and medicine, there is a need to ensure rigorous testing for neurotoxicity. While the most common neurotoxicity tests involve using animal models, a shift towards stem cell-based platforms can potentially provide a more biologically accurate alternative in both clinical and pharmaceutical research. With this in mind, the objective of this article is to review both current technologies and recent advancements in evaluating neurotoxicants using stem cell-based approaches, with an emphasis on developmental neurotoxicants (DNTs) as these have the most potential to lead to irreversible critical damage on brain function. In the next section, attempts to develop novel predictive model approaches for the study of both neural cell fate and developmental neurotoxicity are discussed. Finally, this article concludes with a discussion of the future use of in silico methods within developmental neurotoxicity testing, and the role of regulatory bodies in promoting advancements within the space.
Identification of hemolytic anemia in Korean indigenous cattle with a criteria value of reticulocyte count, indirect bilirubin, and L-lactate concentration

Published: August 2024

Bovine hemolytic anemia has a negative impact on animal welfare and productivity due to its associated clinical symptoms. Hemolysis is generally known to cause reticulocytosis, increased indirect bilirubin, decreased concentration of haptoglobin, and increased lactate dehydrogenase. Additionally, tissue hypoperfusion due to concomitant anemia increases blood lactate concentration. However, few studies have reported the correlation between these indicators and hemolytic anemia in cattle. We expected that alterations in hematological and biochemical parameters could identify cattle with hemolytic anemia. Therefore, in addition to reporting differences in indicators according to hemolytic anemia, this study aimed to derive indicators and set criteria for identification of bovine hemolytic anemia. In cattle with hemolytic anemia, reticulocytosis, increased indirect bilirubin, and increased L-lactate were observed, and the correlation of these indicators with hematocrit (HCT) was confirmed. And since HCT alone has limitations in identifying hemolytic anemia, we suggest additional criteria to identify hemolytic anemia in cattle.

Published: August 2024

Objectives

No study has reported secular trends in dementia prevalence, all-cause mortality, and survival status in rural China.

Methods

We established two cohorts (XRRCC1 and XRRCC2) in the same region of China, 17 years apart, to compare dementia prevalence, all-cause mortality, and survival status, and performed regression analysis to identify associated factors.

Results

Dementia prevalence was 3.49% in XRRCC1 and 4.25% in XRRCC2, with XRRCC2 showing a significantly higher prevalence (OR = 1.79, 95%CI: 1.2–2.65). All-cause mortality rates for dementia patients were 62.0% in XRRCC1 and 35.7% in XRRCC2. Mortality in the normal population of XRRCC2 decreased by 66% compared to XRRCC1, mainly due to improved survival rates in women with dementia. Dementia prevalence was positively associated with age >65, spouse-absent status, and stroke, and negatively associated with ≥6 years of education.

Conclusion

Dementia prevalence in rural China increased over 17 years, while mortality decreased. Major risk factors include aging, no spouse, and stroke, with higher education offering some protection.
Przysłowia z komponentami Ormianin, Grek i Żyd w kontekście pamięci zbiorowej
Authors: Bizior Renata
Published: August 2024

The article ponders upon ethnic proverbs containing the ethnonyms Ormianin ‘Armenian’, Grek ‘Greek’and Żyd ‘Jew’, which constitute a peculiar collection of paremics determined by the former sociocultural context. The research material was collected using the NKJP and Google search engine. The paper aims at analysing the collected paremic items as carriers of ethnostereotypes, and to interpret them as textual realizations of the collective memory genre. I employ linguistic-cultural methods and the linguistics of memory in the analysis and description of the material, which allows the studied proverbs to be framed as a genre of memory participating in the transmission of images of the past. The study also takes into account the pragmatic functions of proverbs in contemporary identity discourse and the reinterpretation of meanings contained in the paremic items in question.
Evolutionary Game Strategy Research on PSC Inspection Based on Knowledge Graphs
Authors: Liu Chengyong , Wang Qi , Xiang Banghao , Xu Yi , Gan Langxiong
Published: August 2024

Port state control (PSC) inspections, considered a crucial means of maritime safety supervision, are viewed by the industry as a critical line of defense ensuring the stability of the international supply chain. Due to the high level of globalization and strong regional characteristics of PSC inspections, improving the accuracy of these inspections and efficiently utilizing inspection resources have become urgent issues. The construction of a PSC inspection ontology model from top to bottom, coupled with the integration of multisource data from bottom to top, is proposed in this paper. The RoBERTa-wwm-ext model is adopted as the entity recognition model, while the XGBoost4 model serves as the knowledge fusion model to establish the PSC inspection knowledge graph. Building upon an evolutionary game model of the PSC inspection knowledge graph, this study introduces an evolutionary game method to analyze the internal evolutionary dynamics of ship populations from a microscopic perspective. Through numerical simulations and standardization diffusion evolution simulations for ship support, the evolutionary impact of each parameter on the subgraph is examined. Subsequently, based on the results of the evolutionary game analysis, recommendations for PSC inspection auxiliary decision-making and related strategic suggestions are presented. The experimental results show that the RoBERTa-wwm-ext model and the XGBoost4 model used in the PSC inspection knowledge graph achieve superior performance in both entity recognition and knowledge fusion tasks, with the model accuracies surpassing those of other compared models. In the knowledge graph-based PSC inspection evolutionary game, the reward and punishment conditions (n, f) can reduce the burden of the standardization cost for safeguarding the ship. A ship is more sensitive to changes in the detention rate β than to changes in the inspection rate α. To a certain extent, the detention cost CDC plays a role similar to that of the detention rate β. In small-scale networks, relevant parameters in the ship’s standardization game have a more pronounced effect, with detention cost CDC having a greater impact than standardization cost CS on ship strategy choice and scale-free network evolution. Based on the experimental results, PSC inspection strategies are suggested. These strategies provide port state authorities with auxiliary decision-making tools for PSC inspections, promote the informatization of maritime regulation, and offer new insights for the study of maritime traffic safety management and PSC inspections.

Published: August 2024

RESUMEN | A nivel mundial la acuicultura siempre ha tenido problemas reputacionales debido, entre otros, a aspectos medioambientales; muchos de estos problemas se han resuelto en gran medida y se está trabajando activamente en las que aún deben resolverse. En cualquier caso, la acuicultura es fundamental para la seguridad alimentaria, aparte de ello la pesca lleva años manteniendo una producción máxima estable que actualmente representa menos que la producción de la acuicultura. Asimismo, la acuicultura tiene un impacto económico favorable, especialmente en las comunidades locales y zonas geográficamente deprimidas. Sin embargo, en los últimos tiempos están cobrando gran importancia diferentes aspectos reputacionales relacionados con nuevas especies, especialmente el pulpo que, tras muchos años de investigación, se ha conseguido cerrar su ciclo de cultivo. Este hecho nos ha impulsado a realizar un estudio que permita mejorar la imagen y la percepción sobre la acuicultura que se realiza en España, tanto en la sociedad actual como para las futuras generaciones. Para ello, se realizó una encuesta a cuatro grupos objetivo (“empresa”, “investigación”, “administración”, “social”), para determinar el consenso de los factores identificados previamente (Debilidades, Amenazas, Fortalezas, Oportunidades). Una vez validados los factores por 24 expertos de los cuatro grupos, se procedió a la distribución de las encuestas, en un total de 8 zonas geográficas españolas, analizando el resultado por el método Delphi y elaborándose, paralelamente, 13 medidas de mejora y 10 acciones estratégicas (adaptativas, defensivas, ofensivas, de supervivencia), con iniciativas relacionadas con el bienestar animal en cada uno de los bloques estratégicos, que permitirán mejorar la reputación social de la acuicultura.

Authors: Reis Mara Bontempo
Published: August 2024

Este texto pretende analisar a Missa do Impossível, celebrada em Juiz de Fora (MG), pelo padre Pierre Maurício de Almeida Cantarino. A celebração mencionada, se destaca dentre as demais da cidade, pois semanalmente reúne milhares de pessoas. O nosso interesse em ter a referida missa como objeto desta pesquisa ocorre por notarmos sua crescente projeção nos últimos anos e por ter sido declarada em 2022 patrimônio cultural de natureza imaterial de Juiz de Fora. O presente estudo elenca um breve histórico, desde a sua criação até as modificações sofridas por ela ao longo do tempo. Também nos debruçaremos em tentar analisar as experiências religiosas dos frequentadores da Missa do Impossível, bem como o hábito do Padre Pierre de “criar tradições” para a celebração e, por fim, buscar compreender o processo de patrimonialização desta missa.
cromática dos Orixás
Authors: De Jesus Raphael
Published: August 2024

Este artigo analisa as cores como um dos elementos visuais simbólicos atribuídos aos Orixás do Candomblé Ketu. Nos perguntamos como se deu a nomeação das cores na cultura Iorubá e se isso influenciou na atribuição e no uso do cromático no Candomblé Ketu? Afirmamos que a forma pela qual as cores são nomeadas no idioma Iorubá influiu nas atribuições cromáticas dos Orixás. Inicialmente mostramos a nomeação das cores em Iorubá com significados e organizamos a atribuição das cores aos Orixás no Brasil conforme autores que pesquisaram a religião, sem jamais impor ou delimitar um padrão correto que não existe. Percebemos que as cores em Ioruba mostram algo sobre a visão de mundo dos Iorubás em relação à natureza e que isso se reflete no culto Candomblecista guardadas as devidas complexidades históricas, culturais e geográficas.

o presente trabalho tem, como principal objetivo, despertar reflexões sobre os marcantes traços de transculturalidade nas figurações arquetípicas do sagrado feminino nas manifestações religiosas no Norte do Brasil, tomando como base analítica a história de Mariana, Herondina e Toya Jarina, princesas de origem turca que se tornaram entidades largamente populares na Encantaria, vertente da Umbanda praticada na maior parte da Amazônia Brasileira. Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram o caráter diaspórico, transcultural, da formação representativa dessas “Encantadas” como importante elemento que evidencia, de modo peculiar, que suas imagens remetem à pluralidade étnica e sociocultural que formou a população brasileira, como hoje é compreendida, contida na mítica das configurações dos arquétipos da mulher divina brasileira, como também na substantivação do ser feminino transcendental como fator derivado das experiências místicas do sujeito psicossocial atraído pela força implacável deste modelo. Como base para a pesquisa e revisão bibliográfica que sedimenta esta análise, foram utilizados os trabalhos de teóricos ligados ao estudo de representações arquetípicas do feminino nas religiões, como também de suas configurações nas práticas religiosas amazônicas, como Ferretti (1996), Loureiro (1995), Ortiz (1999) e Prandi (2005), entre diversos outros.

Экспериментальные исследования проводились на животноводческом комплексе промышленного типа молочного направления. Объектом для исследования служили - глубокостельные нетели черно-пестрой породы живой массой 450,0-470,0 кг. На основании принципа аналогов были отобраны контрольная (n=15) и опытная (n=15) группы. Животным опытной группы к основному рациону за месяц до предполагаемого отела добавляли гепатопротектор «Гепалан» один раз в день в дозе 25,0 мл на голову согласно инструкции по использованию препарата. Дачу препарата прекращали после отела. Опытным путем установлено, что использование гепатопротектора «Гепалан» в составе рациона коров-первотелок в течение периода глубокой стельности положительно влияет на клинико-морфологические показатели крови. Об этом свидетельствует снижение в конце эксперимента количества эозинофилов, палочкоядерных нейтрофилов и моноцитов в крови животных, получавших данный гепатопротектор. Напротив, у животных группы контроля, не получавших гепатопротектор, наблюдалось значительное повышение общего количества лейкоцитов в конце периода раздоя с выходом его за приделы референсных значений, что может являться признаком гепатоза.

Experimental studies were carried out on an industrial-type dairy livestock complex. The object of the study was the deep-bedded heifers of the black-and-white breed, with a live weight of 450,0-470.0 kg. Based on the principle of analogs, the control (n=15) and experimental (n=15) groups were selected. The animals of the experimental group were added to the main diet a month before the expected calving of the hepatoprotector "Hepalan" once a day at a dose of 25.0 ml per head, according to the instructions for using the drug. The drug was discontinued after calving. It was experimentally established that the use of the hepatoprotector "Hepalan" as part of the diet of first-calf cows during the period of deep pregnancy has a positive effect on the clinical and morphological parameters of blood. This is evidenced by a decrease in the number of eosinophils, rod-shaped neutrophils and monocytes in the blood of animals treated with this hepatoprotector at the end of the experiment. On the contrary, in the control group animals that did not receive the hepatoprotector, there was a significant increase in the total number of white blood cells at the end of the period of separation with its exit beyond the reference values, which may be a sign of hepatosis.

В статье проведен анализ общих нормативно-правовых актов, регулирующих использование беспилотных летательных аппаратов в воздушном пространстве России. Отдельно проведен анализ нормативно-правовых актов, регулирующих использование беспилотных летательных аппаратов в области лесного хозяйства. Рассмотрены Лесной кодекс РФ, Положение о Федеральном агентстве лесного хозяйства, Правила организации и осуществления авиационных работ по охране и защите лесов, Федеральные правила использования воздушного пространства. Сделан вывод о том, что на сегодняшний день современная нормативно-правовая база применения БПЛА находится в стадии становления и требует доработки. Авторы данной статьи предлагают разработать информационный ресурс, который с помощью современных технологий позволял бы оперативно подавать документы и согласовывать или получать разрешение на проведение полетов и осуществление съемки с беспилотных летательных аппаратов на территории Российской Федерации.

The article analyzes the general regulations governing the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the airspace of Russia. Separately, the analysis of regulatory legal acts governing the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the field of forestry is carried out. The Forest Code of the Russian Federation, the Regulation on the Federal Forestry Agency, the Rules for the Organization and Implementation of Aviation Work for the Protection and Protection of Forests, and the Federal Rules for the Use of Airspace were considered. It is concluded that today the modern regulatory framework for the use of UAVs is at the stage of formation and requires improvement. The authors of this article propose to develop such a resource that, with the help of modern technologies, would make it possible to promptly submit documents and coordinate or obtain permission to conduct flights and take surveys from unmanned aerial vehicles on the territory of the Russian Federation.

В статье приведены результаты двух лет измерения и анализа влажности почв, полученные во время опытов выращивания рапса в черноземной зоне юга Западной Сибири с применением удобрений в условиях богарного земледелия Новосибирской области и Алтайского края. Влажность почвы измерялась прибором НН2 Delta-T Devices. Были измерены и оценены исходные запасы влаги в метровом слое почвы на опытных делянках. Запасы влаги соответствовали низким и средним показателям влагообеспечения для Новосибирской области (2020) и средним значениям для Алтайского края (2021). Для оценки эффективности применяемых агротехнических мероприятий использовалась урожайность и рассчитанный объем потребления влаги, а также коэффициент влагопотребления культуры. В степной зоне Новосибирской области водопотребление ярового рапса за весь период вегетации на 7 делянках менялось в диапазоне от 206 до 234 мм. Неоспоримое преимущество получили варианты применения удобрений на делянках с максимальной урожайностью 33,2 и 31,4 ц/га и наименьшим коэффициентом влагопотребления 69 и 67 мм/т соответственно. В лесостепной зоне Алтайского края водопотребление ярового рапса за весь период вегетации на 5 делянках менялось в диапазоне от 246 до 262 мм, при этом наименьшие коэффициенты водопотребления 76 и 79 мм/т дали делянки с наибольшей урожайностью 32,3 и 32,2 ц/га соответственно.

The article presents the results of two years of measuring and analyzing soil moisture obtained during experiments on growing rapeseed in the southern chernozem zone of Western Siberia with the use of fertilizers in rainfed agriculture in the Novosibirsk region and Altai Territory. Soil moisture was measured with a Delta-T Devices HH2. Initial moisture reserves were measured and evaluated in a meter layer of soil on experimental plots. Moisture reserves corresponded to low and average moisture supply indicators for the Novosibirsk region (2020) and average values for the Altai Territory (2021). To assess the effectiveness of the applied agrotechnical techniques, the yield and the calculated volume of moisture consumption, as well as the coefficient of moisture consumption of the crop, were used. In the steppe zone of the Novosibirsk region, the water consumption of spring rapeseed for the entire growing season in 7 plots varied in the range from 206 to 234 mm. Variants of using fertilizers on plots with a maximum yield of 33.2 and 31.4 dt/ha and with the lowest moisture consumption coefficient of 69 mm/t and 67 mm/t, respectively, received an indisputable advantage. In the forest-steppe zone of the Altai Territory, the water consumption of spring rapeseed for the entire growing season on 5 plots varied in the range from 246 to 262 mm, while the lowest water consumption coefficients of 76 and 79 mm/t were given by the plots with the highest yield of 32.3 and 32.2 dt/ha respectively.
