A morte materna (MM) é a morte de uma mulher no período da gestação ou até 42 dias após o término da gestação ocasionada por qualquer fator relacionado ou agravado pela gravidez. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os principais fatores relacionados à saúde que afetam este grupo populacional, a fim de que seja possível descrever estratégias no âmbito da enfermagem que vislumbrem a minimização das mortes e garantiram a saúde para as mulheres indígenas. Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, exploratória, retrospectiva, com abordagem qualitativa, com coleta de dados de domínio público. A amostra da pesquisa foi constituída pela causa e quantidade de óbitos maternos registrados no site do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e da Fundação de Vigilância em Saúde do Estado do Amazonas (FVS), nos quais foram coletados dados de 2017 a 2022 do estado do Amazonas. No período de 2017 a 2022, de acordo com FVS foram identificados 55 óbitos maternos de mulheres indígenas no estado do Amazonas. Em relação aos dados sociodemográficos, a idade variou entre 10 e 42 anos, e a faixa etária com maior quantitativo foi a de 20 a 29 anos, 21(38,18%). Quanto ao estado civil, as solteiras obtiveram o maior quantitativo com 22(40%) mulheres e as casadas um total de 16(29,09%). No que se refere à educação, 28 (50,90%) possuíam ensino fundamental, 16(29,09%) o ensino médio completo. Diante desses fatores relacionados a mortalidade materna indígena, verifica-se a presença de vulnerabilidade social e algumas fragilidades nas políticas públicas de saúde e educação, evidenciando, assim, a necessidade de trabalhos que busquem melhoria na assistência primária das gestantes, assim como controle social eficaz com ampliação e qualificação dos Comitês de Morte Materna e a mobilização de gestores, dos profissionais de saúde e da sociedade civil na promoção de políticas públicas que busquem a redução da mortalidade.

The present study was conducted on 6 clinically healthy adult mules of both sexes (4 females and 2 castrated males), with the approval of IAEC, to evaluate the total intravenous anaesthesia with diazepam-ketamine mixture following xylazine premedication. The anaesthetic combination resulted in quick induction (1.84±0.52 min), prolonged sedation, good to moderate analgesia, moderate muscle relaxation, and smooth and quick recovery. The duration of anaesthesia was 15.21±0.64 min. During recovery, limb and head movements, sternal recumbency, standing ataxia, and normal gait were attained at 16.0±3.21min, 23.30±1.23min, 25.5±3.20 min, and 32.75±3.25 min, respectively, from the time of diazepam-ketamine administration. The anaesthetic combination did not have significant effect on rectal temperature, haemato-biochemical parameters, blood gases, electrolytes, and oxygen status except a significant progressive decrease in the heart rate form the base value up to 15 min after induction, returning to the base level by 45 min, and significant fluctuations in the respiratory rate within the physiological limits. The partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blooddecreased to below normal during anaesthesia, however, the oxygen saturation of haemoglobin and oxygen content of blood were well maintained throughout the period of anaesthesia. The combination can be used safely for moderate depth of anaesthesia in mules.

Published: December 2023

The present study was undertaken to investigate foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks in various villages of Chikkaballapur district in Karnataka. The disease was recorded in both small and large ruminant population. Serum samples (357) were collected from clinically sick, recovered and in-contact animals, and clinical samples (31) were collected from sick or recovering animals. In 3AB non-structural protein (NSP) ELISA, 42.85% cattle, 59.93% sheep and 73.91% goats were tested positive indicating an extensive FMD virus (FMDV) activity. The serum samples were also tested in liquid phase blocking (LPB) ELISA to assess the protective antibody titre, which were 42.85%, 6.72% and 8.69% for cattle, sheep and goats, respectively. Hence, it is presumed that poor herd immunity might have been one of the contributing factors for the spread of the disease. The outbreaks were caused by FMDV serotype O and Asia 1 as confirmed in serotype differentiating antigen detection ELISA and multiplex PCR. The VP1 region based phylogenetic analysis indicated the involvement of both Ind2001 and recently identified Ind2011 lineage of serotype O and lineage C of serotype Asia 1 in the outbreaks. The study revealed the epidemiological complexity of FMD in the field with respect to the spectrum of species of animals affected and the contemporaneous involvement of multiple serotypes and lineages.
Identifying molecular and spermatological markers to detect sperm chromatin fragmentation

Published: December 2023

Transition nuclear proteins (TNPs) are the primary basic proteins produced from the histone replacement. Protamines (PRMs) and transition nuclear proteins are important for maintaining the sperm chromatin integrity, resistance to cryopreservational damage, potentiating fertilizing ability of sperm, preventing embryo deaths and abortions. Hence this histone to protamine replacement should be highly conserved among the males of different species. In the present study, blood and semen samples from 43 cattle and 17 buffalo bulls were collected to isolate genomic DNA and to study sperm chromatin fragmentation following varying period of cryopreservation. Single stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) was done to detect any single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding exonic regions of TNP 1 and 2 as well as PRM 1 and 2 genes. The SSCP analysis did not reveal any SNP in these genes. This may be due to conserved pattern of these genes. The sperm chromatin fragmentation determined by comet assay was significantly different between the acceptable semen donating cattle as well as the buffalo bulls.

Varied samples (1,132) comprising poultry meat (212), poultry eggs (49), poultry droppings (60), autopsied poultry tissues (60), pork (156), pig faeces (189), cattle dung (105), buffalo dung (103), sheep faeces (11), goat faeces (31), deer faeces (2) and human stool (154) were screened for isolation of Salmonella spp. Total 50 Salmonella isolates were recovered from samples, viz. poultry meat (2), poultry eggs (1), poultry droppings (6), autopsied poultry tissues (16), pork (2), pig faeces (9), cattle dung (6), buffalo dung (3), sheep faeces (4) and human stool (1). The recovered Salmonella isolates belonged to 10 different serovars with most prevalent serovar S. Typhimurium (21) followed by S. Weltevreden (12), S. Ughelli (5), S. Essen (3), S. Elisabethville (2), S. Lagos (2), S. Drogana (2), S. Enteritidis (1), S. London (1) and un-typable Salmonella (1). Salmonella isolates showed extreme variation in resistance (0–100%) against anti-microbial agents. The maximum resistance was observed among Salmonella isolates against sulphamethizole and furazolidone (100% each) followed by kanamycin (50%), gentamicin (44%), nalidixic acid (14%), tobramycin (10%), amikacin, ampicillin, streptomycin and tetracycline (8% each), amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid (6%), norfloxacin (4%), ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime (2% each) and chloramphenicol (0%). A high level of sensitivity in Salmonella isolates was observed against chloramphenicol (100%) and tetracycline (92%). A high multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index in a range of 0.133–0.666 was observed in Salmonella serovars. Molecular characterization of Salmonella was performed by targeting amplification of invA gene primer fragment for confirmation of Salmonella spp. in which all isolates were found positive for this gene. Moreover, this gene encodes virulence factor in Salmonella spp. which was exhibited by all Salmonella isolates of the present study.

Information regarding the fertility index in relation to sperm attributes, which helps in the selection of future breeding bulls are meager in buffaloes. The present study was conducted to measure the differences in motility characteristics, head biometry, acrosome, plasma membrane and DNA of cryopreserved semen of fertile and sub- fertile buffalo bulls. The fertility of bulls was classified on the basis of conception rates (CR), where bulls having CR 28–35% and >55% were considered as sub-fertile and fertile bulls respectively. Computer assisted semen analyzer was used for motility and viability studies. Total motility, average path velocity (VAP), straight linear velocity (VSL) and curvilinear velocity (VCL) of sperm for fertile bulls were significantly higher than sub-fertile bulls. Significant differences were found in the length and width of sperm head between the 2 groups. The percentage of intactness of sperm acrosome of fertile bulls was significantly higher than sub-fertile bulls. The percentage of apoptotic sperm differed significantly between fertile and sub-fertile bulls. The sperm DNA integrity of fertile and sub-fertile bulls was not significantly different. In conclusion, the total motility, VAP, VCL, VSL, length and width of sperm head, acrosome integrity and percentage of apoptotic sperm, are useful for evaluating bulls’ semen quality to reduce the risk of using semen of poor-fertility bulls in AI programme.

Efficacy of fumaric and citric acids in preventing biosynthesis of aflatoxins in poultry feed with variable moisture content
Authors: SINGH RAM , MANDAL A B
Published: December 2023

A poultry feed was prepared using conventional feed ingredients free from aflatoxins. The moisture content of the feed was adjusted at 11, 13, 15 and 17%. The feeds with each level of moisture were then mixed with fumaric or citric acid each at various concentrations of 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45 and 0.50%. Sample (100 g) from each preparation was taken in duplicate, inoculated with fresh spores of aflatoxins producing mould (Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999), incubated at room temperature for 1 month and then analysed for the presence of aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2). The results showed that at 11% moisture level, none of the 4 aflatoxins were recorded in any of the treatments. However, with the increase in moisture in feed from 11 to 17%, oproduction of aflatoxins increased. The concentrations of AFB1 were 40–60 ppb and total AF 110–170 ppb even at 13% moisture level after 1 month storage of such feed. The biosynthesis of any of the aflatoxins was completely inhibited with 0.20% fumaric acid or 0.45% citric acid in feed containing 13% moisture. However, fumaric or citric acid at 0.50% concentration, failed to completely inhibit synthesis of any of the 4 fractions of aflatoxins in feeds containing 15 and 17% moisture level, though with increased concentrations of acids, biosynthesis of total as well as individual fractions of aflatoxins decreased. It is concluded that storage of feed for 1 month with 13% moisture was not safe. Moreover, the production of AF at 13% moisture level can be completely inhibited by adding fumaric acid @ 0.20% or citric acid @ 0.45%. However, at 15 and 17% moisture level in feed, more than 0.50% of fumaric acid or citric acid is required for complete inhibition of biosynthesis of aflatoxins.

Published: December 2023

Share of livestock sector especially dairy production in total gross domestic product (GDP) has shown a continuous rise trend over the last 30 years. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) methodology was applied for modeling and forecasting of milk production of India. Auto-correlation (AC) and partial auto-correlation (PAC) functions were estimated, which led to the identification and construction of ARIMA models, suitable in explaining the time series and forecasting the future production. A significant increasing linear trend in the total milk production in India was found. To this end, evaluation of forecasting is carried out with mean absolute prediction error (MAPE), relative mean absolute prediction error (RMAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE). The best identified model for the data under consideration was used for out-of-sample forecasting up to 2015.

As formas de tratamento, diagnóstico e prevenção também variam de acordo com o microrganismo. Além dos cuidados dos pacientes em relação a prevenção, é necessário que os profissionais da saúde tenham consciência ao manipular suas ferramentas, vestimentas e administração medicamentosa, assim como o hospital siga a lei de controle de infecção hospitalar. O objetivo deste trabalho, é uma revisão acerca da infecção do trato urinário, abrangendo suas causas, diagnóstico, tratamento e prevenção.
A escola kardecista brasileira: Uma análise educativa da ação espírita no Brasil
Authors: Coelho Antonio Carlos
Published: December 2023

O trabalho em questão foi desenvolvido durante observações de cultos, palestras e discussões nos salões de 10 (dez) Centros Espíritas da cidade de Belo Horizonte/MG, durante o mestrado. Como base no propósito espírita, qual seja, a revitalização da figura de Jesus de Nazaré, em um revigoramento da ética do amor ao próximo, e uma fé raciocinada em uma relação amadurecida entre o ser humano e Deus, assim, vamos verificar o discurso religioso inserido nestes ambientes. O método de abordagem deste estudo foi o hipotético-dedutivo e da pesquisa bibliográfica, por meio da consulta de livros acadêmicos e textos psicografados. O que mostrou a pesquisa é que dentro destes ambientes, ainda, existe um pensamento baseado em um viés conservador, cultivado por uma interpretação moral judaico-cristã. Nesta perspectiva, na contemporaneidade, conclui-se que o discurso espírita brasileiro evita a construção de uma mentalidade crítica, tanto no cenário religioso como político, desfiando de uma luta por justiça social e a defesa da dignidade humana, edificando um assistencialismo insuficiente de transformar a sociedade envolvida neste processo de evolutivo.
IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL POLICY ON RELATIVE PRICE VARIABILITY OF FOOD CROPS AND INFLATION IN NIGERIA
Authors: Babalola Ifeoluwa Akin , Salman Kabir Kayode
Published: December 2023

Prices of food crops in Nigeria tend to exhibit similar trend with inflation. The study therefore established quantitatively relationships among agricultural policy, relative price variability (RPV) of food crops and inflation in Nigeria. Data for the study includes annual producer prices (nominal) and output of food crops and annual inflation rate obtained from the publications of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, Food and Agricultural Organisation and Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research covering the period of 1970-2009. Analytical tools used were RPV index and Error Correction Method (ECM). The results showed that the variables are stationary at their levels. As inflation increases, RPV of food crops also increases both in short run (0.0002) and the long run (0.0310). Civilian Post-Structural Adjustment Period Policies (CPSAP) caused a significant reduction in inflation and consequently reduced the   RPV of food crops in the long run. There is a need for policies that will buffer the food crop sub-sector from the effects of inflation. Policies that reduce the rate of inflation and minimise RPV among food crops are needed. Effective management of inefficiencies and misallocation of resources in the sub-sector should be explored.

Published: December 2023

The study was conducted to evaluate the primary production variables of Brachiaria grass cultivars in semi arid regions of Eastern Kenya. Brachiaria cultivars B. decumbens cv. Basilisk, Brachiaria hybrid  Mulato II, four Brachiaria brizantha cultivars Marandu, Xaraes, Piata, MG4 and Brachiaria humidicola cv Llanero were assessed with reference to their field establishment and growth rates. Chloris gayana cv. KATR3 and P. pupureum cv. Kakamega I were included as controls. Plant numbers, heights, spread, plant tiller number and plant cover were monitored for the initial 16 weeks following seedling emergence. A standardization cut was done on all the plots at week 16 and dry matter yields determined. All growth parameters measured varied significantly (p<0.05) among the cultivars. Chloris gayana cv. KATR3 recorded the highest plant numbers (48plants/m2). Llanero recorded highest plant spread (146.9 cm) and tiller number (31tillers/plant). Napier had the highest plant height (103.8cm), cover (94.9%) and average dry matter yields (5430kg /ha). The results demonstrate that Brachiaria grasses are capable of establishing themselves in the semi arid regions of Eastern Kenya. It is recommended that the experiment be conducted for a longer period of time to determine their growth capacity during dry spells and pests and diseases that can hinder establishment and production.

La incorporación de medidas de adaptación al cambio climático en la ordenación territorial y urbanística: la prioridad de las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza
Authors: Cantó López María Teresa
Published: December 2023

Resumen:

Las ciudades aplican las estrategias de adaptación en las actuaciones de planificación de elementos naturales al incorporar consideraciones climáticas, en relación con el territorio y áreas urbanas, donde se incorporan nuevos conceptos e instrumentos de planificación como las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza para reducir la vulnerabilidad respecto de los efectos adversos del clima, como el efecto de las “islas de calor”. En este contexto, se transita hacia un modelo territorial adaptado al clima que implica intrínsecamente aumentar la vegetación en sus distintas formas e introducir en los instrumentos de planeamiento territorial y urbanístico el análisis de los factores climáticos y estándares urbanísticos de adaptación al clima para valorar su incidencia y reducir la huella de carbono desde el diseño urbano. Este artículo se centra en el reconocimiento de las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza por la legislación estatal y autonómica en materia de clima y suelo en los instrumentos de planeamiento como estrategia de adaptación, con especial referencia a la Comunidad Valenciana.

Abstract:

Cities are applying adaptation strategies in the planning of natural elements by incorporating climate considerations in territorial and urban areas, where new planning concepts and instruments are being incorporated, such as nature-based solutions, to reduce vulnerability to adverse climate impacts, such as the “heat island” effect. In this context, we are moving towards a climate-adapted territorial model, which inherently implies an increase in vegetation in its different forms, and the introduction into territorial and urban planning instruments of the analysis of climatic factors and urban climate adaptation standards, in order to assess their impact and reduce the carbon footprint of urban planning. This article focuses on the recognition of nature-based solutions by national and regional climate and land legislation in planning instruments as an adaptation strategy, with reference to the Community of Valencia.
Exploring the Spectrum of Analytical Techniques for Material Characterization
Authors: Workman Jerome
Published: December 2023

Imaging spectroscopy integrates the spatial information of a measured sample with its chemical or physical information, enabling comprehensive material characterization and analysis. This tutorial delves into the intricacies of various imaging spectroscopy methods, which apply to multiple spectroscopic regions. Imaging spectroscopy may be accomplished for ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), fluorescence (FL), near-infrared (NIR), infrared (IR), terahertz (THz), Raman, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), or laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Measurement data from a single spectral region or multiple spectral regions may be used. Measured spectral data may be analyzed separately or fused into a continuous measurement vector (spectrum) before information processing. For the sampled area, spectral data may be collected from a point, small region, or wide-field. The principles, applications, advantages, and limitations of spectroscopic imaging are discussed here, enabling researchers to have a more comprehensive understanding of the use of spectroscopic imaging for measuring a variety of sample types.

Authors: BÜYÜK Elif Irmak
Published: December 2023

Teknoloji alanındaki hızlı gelişmelerden kamusal hizmet alanında da yararlanmak için yapılan yoğun çalışmalar ve üretilen projelerin yargı alanındaki en önemli görünümlerinden birisi UYAP bilişim sistemidir. Son yıllarda UYAP bilişim sistemini takip hukuku uygulamamıza entegre etmek amacıyla 2004. S. İcra ve İflas Kanunu’nda çeşitli değişiklikler yapılmış ve bu değişikliklere uyarınca avukatların UYAP'a tanımlı bir banka hesabına sahip olmaları bir zorunluluk haline gelmiştir. İcra müdürlükleri ve mahkemeler tarafından avukata yapılacak ödemelerde avukat tarafından UYAP sistemine verilen IBAN numarasının ilişkili olduğu banka hesabı kullanılacaktır. Bu noktada avukata ait UYAP sistemine entegre banka hesabına haciz işleminin uygulanıp uygulanamayacağı konusunda uygulamada ve yargı kararlarında tereddütlerin bulunduğu görülmektedir. Söz konusu belirsizlik, avukatın banka hesabının haczinin mümkün olup olmadığı, olursa ne kapsamda haciz yapılması gerektiği hususlarındaki yorum farklılıklarından kaynaklanmaktadır. Çalışmamızda avukatın UYAP hesabına entegre banka hesabının hacziyle ilgili ortaya çıkan sorunlar, ilgili yargı kararlarındaki gerekçelerin değerlendirilmesi ve banka - avukat -müvekkil arasındaki hukuki ilişkinin irdelenmesi suretiyle ele alınacaktır.

Desde la llegada a la presidencia de Andrés Manuel López Obrador, el 1° de diciembre de 2018, en algunos casos, los medios de comunicación han incurrido en la distorsión del mensaje, en la información fragmentada o bien, el de no publicar lo que pudiera resultarle adverso. Sin embargo, existe la contraparte, los cuales son los medios de comunicación progobiernistas, quienes, a pesar de cualquier circunstancia, buscan manejar la postura del gobierno correcto y perfecto. Para fines de esta investigación, se estudiarán dos medios de comunicación del estado de Veracruz, uno con intereses opositores al gobierno estatal y federal, que es el diario Notiver, mientras que el medio contrario, el que vela por los intereses del gobierno será Radio Televisión de Veracruz RTV. Dicha diferencia en el manejo de la información causa una polarización entre los lectores y audiencias de los medios de comunicación veracruzanos antes mencionados.  Ambos medios serán sujeto de estudio tras el caso de la filtración de las Hacktivistas “Las Guacamayas”, el jueves 29 de septiembre de 2022, según las notas publicadas el 30 de septiembre de 2022, donde se expuso información confidencial del gobierno del tabasqueño.

Published: December 2023

The synthesis of N-heterocyclic compounds is an important area of organic chemistry that provides tremendous potential for the development of new products with vital applications in our daily life, like- pharmaceuticals, dyes, agrochemicals, and more generally, engineered materials with inventive properties. As N-heterocyclic compounds are used in numerous industries and are produced in very large amounts, the development of sustainable methods for their synthesis has become a key goal for modern green chemistry, which aims to reduce the environmental impact of chemical processes. In this context, the current review is focused on new methodologies to synthesize N-heterocyclic compounds in deep eutectic solvents, a new category of ionic solvents that are non-toxic, non-volatile, easily prepare, easily recyclable, and can be derived from renewable sources. Focus has been put on those techniques that recycle the catalyst and solvent on prior basis, as they provide the dual benefit of promoting synthetic efficiency while exhibiting environmental responsibility

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Angka Partisipasi Kasar (APK) baik untuk tingkat Perguruan Tinggi (PT), Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) dan Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) pada tahun 2022. Penggunaan data tahun 2022 diasumsikan menjadi pembeda dengan penelitianpenelitian sebelumnya yang dilakukan sebelum pandemi Corona Virus Diseases tahun 2019 (Covid-19). Selain itu, penelitian ini juga ingin mengetahui bagaimana kondisi APK Indonesia menurut gender, serta adakah hubungannya tingkat capaian APK dengan Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka (TPT). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif statistik, korelasi Product Moment dari Parson, uji beda rata-rata dua sampel berbeda (uji independent sample T-test), dan kuadran analisis. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa capaian APK, baik untuk PT, SMA dan SMP di Indonesia tidak lagi didominasi oleh daerah-daerah di pulau Jawa. Beberapa provinsi di luar Jawa justru memiliki capaian APK lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan beberapa daerah di Jawa. Analisis T-test menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan rata-rata antara APK PT dan APK SMA antara pulau Jawa dan luar Pulau Jawa, kecuali APK SMP namun nilai koefisien korelasi Pearson-nya sangat kecil. Penelitian ini juga mengindikasikan bahwa sudah tidak lagi terjadi ketimpangan gender dalam pendidikan di Indonesia, baik pada tingkat PT maupun pada tingkat SMA.

The introduction of vegetables as an alternative crop in the Peruvian high jungle also implies the search for environmentally friendly pest control methods and the care of biodiversity, here we evaluate the biocidal effect of aqueous extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica), barbasco (Lonchocarpus nicou L.) and molle (Schinus molle L.) for the control of the flea (Brevicoryne brassicae L.) in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata) during the 2020 agricultural campaign, in a Randomized Complete Block design (DBCA ) with 3 treatments, plus absolute control and 4 replicates. The extracts were prepared from the combination of leaves, stems, bark, fruits, and roots of the plants at a rate of 1kg and applied at a dose of 6 ml per liter of water. The barbasco was the most efficient in reducing the number of aphids per plant and the most toxic to cause 75.34% mortality in 45 days of treatment, followed by molle with 61.43% and with pellet weight of up to 1725g It is concluded that plant extracts decreased aphid populations and are suitable for use in Integrated Management programs.

Published: December 2023

The discipline of forensic anthropology has evolved dramatically during its relatively short history, as has the role of forensic anthropologists, both of which are well documented in various publications (e.g., Christensen et al. 2019; Dirkmaat & Cabo 2012; Işcan 1988; Ubelaker 2018). The presence and role of forensic anthropologists specifically working in medical examiner or coroner (ME/C) offices in the United States have also been emphasized in recent literature and presentations (e.g., Austin & Fulginiti 2008; Crowder et al. 2016; Derrick & Figura 2016; Fleischman et al. 2013; Rainwater et al. 2012; Sledzik et al. 2007; Waxenbaum & Grauer 2022). The goal of this article is to provide an update to this aforementioned literature as we reflect on 50 years as a discipline. This article will discuss (1) the evolution and expansion of the roles and responsibilities of forensic anthropologists in ME/C contexts, (2) the importance of laboratory accreditation and professional certification, and (3) the disciplinary advances and progress that will benefit current professionals and the next generation of forensic anthropologists.

Published: December 2023

There is a growing initiative on the part of regulatory bodies to employ control over firmware emissions destined for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In this scenario, this paper presents a new approach, called SOTARU, which proposes the use of a consortium Blockchain among embedded system manufacturers as a way to allow access to the update history of devices from multiple manufacturers through a single infrastructure. The security and robustness of the proposal were evaluated with the help of the Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) distributed network emulator. As a result, it was found that SOTARU stands out in terms of security when compared to other approaches proposed in the literature, as well as being functional even in high latency scenarios.
