A inibição da enzima colinesterase plasmática (BChE) pode ser utilizada como biomarcador para os efeitos da intoxicação por organofosforados e carbamatos. Nas aves, esta inibição ocorre de forma mais acentuada que nos mamíferos, porém poucos são os trabalhos publicados nestas espécies. O objetivo do estudo foi a dosagem da BChE em gansos-egípcios (Alopochen aegyptiacus) e nos anseriformes domésticos:  gansos-domésticos (Anser anser domesticus) e marrecos (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus), para o estabelecimento de valores de referência normais. O trabalho possui ineditismo com relação à determinação desta enzima nos gansos-egípcios e domésticos. Os gansos e marrecos são mantidos em confinamento com fornecimento de alimentos e água ad libitum e em espaço adequado à sua manutenção no Instituto Adolfo Lutz (IAL), com a finalidade de fornecimento de sangue para a alimentação de triatomídeos do insetário de criação no Núcleo de Parasitoses Sistêmicas. Nos Alopochen aegyptiacus a média e o desvio padrão da BChE foram de 1.868 + 263,6 U/L, nos Anser anser domesticus 2.311 + 673,2 U/L e nos Anas platyrhynchos domesticus 4.290 + 86,11 U/L.

Especiarias são produtos constituídos de partes de espécies vegetais com importante valor alimentício e diversos benefícios para a saúde. O objetivo deste trabalho foi pesquisar adulterações na composição de cúrcuma (Curcuma longa Linnaeus), gengibre (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), noz-moscada (Myristica fragrans Houttuyn), páprica (Capsicum annuum Linnaeus), pimenta-do-reino (Piper nigrum Linnaeus) e colorífico (mistura de urucum, Bixa orellana Linnaeus, com fubá). Foram analisadas 180 amostras adquiridas em municípios do estado de São Paulo. A investigação dos elementos histológicos foi feita por microscopia óptica, a análise dos corantes por cromatografia em papel e a quantificação da bixina por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência. Das amostras analisadas, 16,1% apresentaram elementos histológicos estranhos ao produto, sendo que nenhuma amostra apresentou corante orgânico artificial. A concentração de bixina nas amostras de colorífico variou entre 0,6 e 105,3 mg/100g, com média de 18,9 mg/100g e desvio padrão de 17,7 mg/100g. A avaliação microscópica revelou que a maioria das adulterações ocorre pela adição de amido de Zea mays. O colorífico não apresentou adulterações, porém foi constatada a necessidade de uma padronização da concentração de bixina. Este estudo demonstrou a necessidade da intensificação do monitoramento de adulterações em especiarias para que a comercialização de alimentos fidedignos seja garantida.

A Reação de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI) foi utilizada para localizar antígenos em estruturas estágio-específicas em cortes parafinados de vermes fêmeas e em tecidos de caramujos do Gênero Biomphalaria infectados com larvas de terceiro estágio de Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Soros de casos confirmados de meningite eosinfílica foram usados para avaliação da reatividade. Soros não reagentes de casos suspeitos; de pacientes com outras parasitoses e de indivíduos sem outras etiologias foram utilizados como controle de reatividade cruzada. Anticorpos da classe IgG foram reativos para antígenos presentes nos dois estágios e, anticorpos IgM somente para o estágio larvário. Nos cortes de vermes, as marcações fluorescentes foram assinaladas nas cutículas e estruturas internas, com acentuada marcação para os conteúdos uterinos. Nos tecidos dos caramujos as larvas foram encontradas exclusivamente no interior dos granulomas, com marcações fluorescentes nas  cutículas das larvas e no interior dos tecidos granulomatosos. O padrão de fluorescência no granuloma sugere a marcação de antígenos excretores/secretores. Reatividade cruzada mais expressiva ocorreu com anticorpos presentes em soros de pacientes com outras parasitoses, com destaque para estrongiloidíase. A RIFI em cortes parafinados abre novas perspectivas para identificação de antígenos e de marcadores sorológicos, que possam ser aplicados no aprimoramento do diagnóstico laboratorial da meningite eosinofílica.

Published: August 2023

Os suplementos à base de vitamina C são amplamente consumidos pela população, evidenciando a importância da fiscalização desses produtos. Em julho de 2018, a ANVISA (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) publicou as novas regulamentações sobre suplementos alimentares, estabelecendo-se o prazo de 60 meses para as empresas se adequarem a essas normas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar os teores de vitamina C, comparar os valores analisados com os declarados na informação nutricional e avaliar os dizeres de rotulagem em produtos à base dessa vitamina. Os teores de vitamina C foram determinados por titulação potenciométrica e as análises de rotulagem foram realizadas com base nas legislações da ANVISA em doze amostras de suplementos colhidos pelas Vigilâncias Sanitárias do Estado de São Paulo. Os teores de vitamina C avaliados estavam de acordo com os declarados na informação nutricional do rótulo, com exceção de uma amostra que apresentou teor abaixo do valor declarado. Em relação aos dizeres de rotulagem, sete amostras (58%) apresentaram um ou mais itens em desacordo com a legislação, mostrando a necessidade de monitoramento constante desse tipo de produto. O trabalho representa um estudo preliminar de avaliação dos suplementos no período de adequação às novas regulamentações.

One of the most important aspects of child development to be stimulated is the aspect of physical motor development, namely fine motor. Children's fine motor development becomes optimal when they get the right stimulation. However, the activities at school are not maximal in stimulating children's fine motor skills, so other activities are needed that support the development of children's fine motor skills. Cooking class is an activity that can stimulate fine motor skills in children, because in this activity children will use their fingers when cleaning ingredients and eye and hand coordination when cutting ingredients. This type of Quasi Experimental research is a research method for researchers with quantitative research types. Groups B1 and B2 in this study were taken as samples. The experimental class is in Group B1 with 10 children and the control class is in Group B2 with 10 children. Data collection techniques in this study were in the form of tests and observations.

Article 412 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code regulates cohabitation or cohabitation. It reads: any person living together as husband and wife outside of marriage shall be punished with a maximum imprisonment of six months or a maximum fine of category II. Previously, cohabitation had not been regulated and only existed in the new Criminal Code. Its presence is to absorb the social, cultural and religious realities that exist in Indonesian society. So what was possible when we were in the village, classifying living together without marriage ties as something that is, say, inappropriate or reprehensible, in the new Criminal Code is trying to criminalize it. In a number of indigenous and tribal peoples, this kind of provision actually already exists. For example, in Bali there is something called lokika sanggraha

Published: August 2023

İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Almanya ve Sovyetler Birliği arasındaki mücadele Müslüman-Türk Dünyası’nı etkilemiş; Almanya Sovyetler Birliği’ni bertaraf edebilmek için Sovyet coğrafyasında zulüm altında yaşayan milletleri kullanma yolunu tercih etmiştir. Bu milletlerin arasında Kırım Tatarları, Türkistan coğrafyasında yaşayan Türk kökenli milletler ve Kafkasya halkları yer almaktadır. Almanlar, coğrafi olarak zorlu bir bölge olan Kafkasya’da, diğer bölgelerde ilerledikleri gibi kolay hareket edememişler, geniş ve istikrarı olmayan bu cephede kısa sürede taarruzu bırakıp savunmaya geçerek geri çekilmek zorunda kalmışlardır. Kafkasya’da var oldukları süre içinde ise izleyecekleri politika, Kafkas halklarını kendi yanına çekerek Sovyetler Birliği’ni etkisiz hale getirmek ve mümkünse ortadan kaldırmak olacaktır. Bunun için Kafkasya’da Almanlar tarafından güçlü bir propaganda yapılmakla birlikte, Kafkas halklarının dini adetlerine saygı gösterilmiş, dini bayramlarını kutlamalarına izin verilmiş ve İslam’a olan saygı sık sık vurgulanmıştır. Ayrıca Almanların insiyatifiyle oluşturulan Kafkasya lejyonları da Sovyetler Birliği’ne karşı cephede mücadele etmişler ve Almanların yanında savaşa katılmışlardır. Zira Kafkas halkları Alman işgalini fırsat bilerek Sovyetler Birliği’nin zulmünden kurtulma ve bağımsızlıklarını kazanma yolunda mücadele etmek istemişlerdir. Fakat Almanların Kafkasya’da yenilgiye uğramaları ve geri çekilmeleri Kafkas halkları açısından hayal kırıklığı ile sonuçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada Almanların siyasi-askeri ve dini uygulamaları üzerinde durulmuş ve propaganda alanları değerlendirilmiştir.

Authors: Machado Castillo María José , Mayorga-Marín Francisco
Published: August 2023

Según la Organización Internacional de los Trabajadores por sus siglas ILO (2019), las muertes atribuibles a accidentes laborales y enfermedades laborales han aumentado a 2.78 millones por año. Anualmente ocurren 374 millones de lesiones relacionadas con el trabajo, con más de 4 días de absentismo laboral, con una carga económica de 3,94% del Producto Interno Bruto global cada año. Con el fin de disminuir la accidentalidad, el presente estudio observacional, analítico de corte transversal, tuvo como objetivo comprobar la utilidad de la Escala de Apreciación de Autocuidado (ASA), siendo la hipótesis el valor que ésta tiene en el pronóstico de accidentes laborales, en los trabajadores de las áreas de Intendencia y División de Diseño y Construcción de la UNAN-Managua. El universo fue de 151 trabajadores y la muestra de 91, a quienes se aplicó una encuesta puntual que contenía las características de los accidentes laborales, los determinantes sociolaborales de los trabajadores y la puntuación de la escala ASA. Se observó que los accidentes laborales fueron más frecuentes en hombres, en las edades <35 años y >45 años, bajo contrato permanente, en operarios de máquinas. El tipo de contrato y tipo de accidente laboral tuvieron asociación estadísticamente significativa (p= 0.05). El nivel de ASA más frecuente fue el nivel bajo (53.8%). El sexo mujer y número de capacitaciones mostraron asociación estadísticamente con el nivel de ASA (p=0.038). Se realizaron curvas ROC para obtener puntos de corte que mostraran la probabilidad de accidentes laborales. El punto de corte para discriminar a los trabajadores que sufrirán accidente laboral fue de 70 puntos, con una sensibilidad del 54.8 % y una especificidad del 100%. Se concluye que el punto de corte de la Escala ASA para pronosticar los trabajadores de estas áreas que sufrirán accidente laboral es de 70 puntos con un AUC de 0.8, con mayor utilidad para reconocer aquellos trabajadores que no sufrirán accidente laboral.

Authors: Алфимова О.А.
Published: August 2023

В статье освещаются отдельные вопросы правовой регламентации содержания осужденных к лишению свободы женщин в пенитенциарных учреждениях США. Констатируется, что в тюремных учреждениях США, в том числе и для женщин, установлены следующие режимы: супермаксимальный уровень безопасности, административный уровень безопасности, максимальный уровень безопасности, высокий уровень безопасности, средний уровень безопасности, строгий уровень безопасности, низкий уровень безопасности, минимальный уровень безопасности и уровень «перед освобождением» (pre-release). Большинство исправительных учреждений включают в себя секторы различных уровней содержания. Отмечается, что большинство женщин, находящихся в местах заключения в США, — представительницы афроамериканской и латиноамериканской расы. Акцентируется внимание на том, что уровень числа заключенных женщин значительно увеличился за последние два десятилетия, а общее увеличение числа осужденных произошло в целом из-за роста преступности в стране, особенно преступлений, связанных с употреблением и распространением наркотических средств.

This article covers certain legal regulatory issues related to the detention of incarcerated women in US penitentiaries. The following regimes are established in US prison facilities, including for women: super maximum security, administrative security, maximum security, high security, medium security, strict security, low security, minimum security and pre-release. Most correctional facilities include sectors of different levels of detention. Most of the women in detention in the United States are African American and Hispanic. The rate of female prisoners has increased significantly over the past two decades, and the overall increase in the number of convicts has been due in general to the increase in crime in the country, especially crimes related to the use and distribution of narcotic drugs.
Synthesis and Characterization of a Poly (methyl methacrylate-co-N-(2,9- dimethyl-1,10-phenantrolin-5-yl) acrylamide) Copolymer. Preliminary Results of its Interaction with some Lanthanides in in Acid Media
Authors: Martins Alho Miriam
Published: August 2023

In this work, we synthesized a copolymer of methylmethacrylate with a monomer derived from 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, in order to be tested for lanthanide uptake and possible nuclear fuel reprocessing. The incorporation of this monomer in the copolymer was confirmed by the observed results on the 1H NMR, which also allowed us to estimate the molar composition of these material. We found that feed composition does not correlate with the composition of the copolymer, which is attributed to a tendency to a preferential incorporation of methylmethacrylate instead the phenanthroline monomer by the growing chain. This behavior would indicate that methylmethacrylate have a higher reactivity, probably attributed to a steric hindrance exerted by the neocuproyl group. The copolymer is stable up to 300 °C. Using ICP we were able to determine that poly(methylmethacrylate-co-N-(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenantrolin-5-yl)acrylamide)) shows a marginal retention of rare earth cation at the working low pH, probably due to an unfavorable spatial arrangement of the pendant aromatic groups.

Published: August 2023

Wound healing is of paramount importance in Veterinary Surgery whenever skin integrity is breached. The faster the healing rate, the better chances to mitigate contamination and infections. There is paucity of information on the use of hyaluronic acid in wound healing in Veterinary medicine. Twenty (20) clinically healthy Wister rats of both sexes were randomly grouped in to four groups (A, B, C, D) of five rats each and allowed to acclimatize for two weeks. Anesthesia was carried out using a combination of xylazine and ketamine at a dosage rate of 5mg/kg and 50mg/kg respectively, intraperitoneal. Circular skin excision was made on each rat after shaving and scrubbing using 70% ethyl alcohol. Group A rats served as negative control while group B and C served as positive controls povidone iodine and oxytetracycline spray were applied topically respectively, group D served as test group where hyaluronic acid serum was applied topically, healing was monitored for 18 days. Results (macroscopy and histology) shows group D having significant healing rate (p<0.05) compared to A, B and C.   Hyaluronic acid serum used in this study was seen to have a significant wound healing contraction potential compared to povidone iodine, oxytetracycline spray and the negative control.

Authors: Luongo Salvatore
Published: August 2023

Il saggio analizza comparativamente il milagro XXI della collezione di Gonzalo di Berceo, De cómmo un abadessa fue preñada, e la sua fonte, il miraculum De abbatissa quam beata Maria ad infamia partus et pondere liberavit. Il milagro che vede protagonista umana la superiora incinta costituisce un valido banco di prova per evidenziare i processi di rielaborazione posti in essere dal poeta riojano: dalla riscrittura del prologo e dell’epilogo del racconto alla “drammatizzazione” delle sue scene salienti, dall’accentuazione della filigrana tipologica sottesa alla narrazione alla messa in risalto dell’intervento miracoloso di Maria e dell’esemplarità della sua beneficiaria.
O ENEM Sob Vigilância: A Comissão Verificadora de Questões e as Provas de Ciências Humanas no Governo Bolsonaro
Authors: Fraga Alexandre Barbosa , Matiolli Thiago Oliveira Lima
Published: August 2023

O Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM), a principal forma de acesso ao ensino superior no Brasil, organiza suas questões por áreas de conhecimento. A prova de Ciências Humanas inclui, desde 2009, também o componente de Sociologia. A partir de então, alguns pesquisadores analisaram a maneira como essa disciplina foi cobrada até 2018. No governo Bolsonaro, as provas de todas as áreas apresentaram a particularidade de terem sido compostas depois da inspeção ao Banco Nacional de Itens por uma comissão criada pelo governo federal, que, na prática, aprovou e reprovou questões por motivos ideológicos. O objetivo geral deste artigo é analisar os impactos do governo Bolsonaro no processo de elaboração e aplicação do ENEM, inclusive as possíveis consequências dessa censura para a presença da Sociologia no exame, o que é realizado estudando especificamente o trabalho de tal comissão e as provas de Ciências Humanas de 2019 a 2021. Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada é a análise documental, de relatórios oficiais e cadernos de questões do ENEM.
A Brasilianização da Sociologia do Risco de Ulrich Beck
Authors: Pohl David
Published: August 2023

Este texto é um ensaio em teoria sociológica cujo objetivo primordial é testar os limites e a aplicabilidade da sociologia do risco de Ulrich Beck em contraposição ao cenário pandêmico da COVID-19 no Brasil. Este exercício parte dos próprios pressupostos teóricos da sociologia do risco de Beck para rever sua atualidade e aplicabilidade. Trata-se de um texto provocativo, mas não necessariamente antagônico à sociologia do autor, um ensaio “com Beck e contra Beck”, que trabalha pela construção de um cosmopolitismo metodológico. O exercício aqui realizado, apesar de constituir um esforço teórico, considera o desenvolvimento do cenário pandêmico – no Brasil e mundo afora – como base empírica capaz de revelar o poder explicativo da teoria de Beck e, na mesma medida, questionar pressuposições centrais desta. O resultado do ensaio é a delineação de possibilidades teóricas baseadas na crítica pós-colonialista e em proposições da própria teoria de Beck em escritos colaborativos e revisionistas quanto ao seu próprio cosmopolitismo metodológico.

Published: August 2023

The aim of this study was to identify how Susan Wiggs' novel Fireside (2009) represented the romance genre. This study's research approach, which includes a description of the analysis, is qualitative. The novel Fireside by Susan Wiggs, the textual approach with close reading used in this study, serves as the analytical unit. The results of the data analysis are then used to examine the fundamental principles of romance in the book. Cawelti G. John's (1977) book Adventure, Mystery, and Romance: Formulas Stories as Art and Popular Culture served as the basis for the idea applied in this study. The results of this study indicate that the representation of the romance genre is manifested in the novel Fireside from the customary plot in romance by Cawelti’s theory; first meeting, boy wins the girl, obstacle or problem, and a mostly happy ending of the story.

Published: August 2023

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease and is closely linked with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Portal hypertension in NAFLD typically occurs in the cirrhotic phase of the disease and may present with esophageal varices, splenomegaly with splenic sequestration syndrome, ascites, and features of liver failure. However, recent experimental and clinical data show the occurrence of portal hypertension in NAFLD in the absence of fibrosis or cirrhosis. We present such a clinical case from rural Kenya in this study with the literature review that proposes novel mechanisms for such non-cirrhotic portal hypertension in NAFLD.

Published: August 2023

Thoracic ultrasonography has been increasingly utilized as a diagnostic tool in human and veterinary medicine. However, limited data are currently available about its field application in pigs. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of thoracic ultrasonography in pigs affected by enzootic pneumonia-like lesions. Following technique verification on cadavers, ultrasound investigations were performed on the thorax of healthy and diseased live pigs to assess lungs. Overall, results indicated that ultrasonography was effective to discriminate between healthy and diseased lungs, with enzootic pneumonia-like lesions showing an easily recognizable ultrasonographic pattern. Thoracic ultrasonography could contribute to better manage porcine respiratory diseases.

Published: August 2023

Objective: To evaluate the effect of iron dosage given at birth on pig growth performance, the course of the preweaning and postweaning blood profile, and postweaning tissue mineral concentration. Materials and methods: Crossbred pigs (n = 70) were assigned to 1 of 5 iron dosages (0, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mg iron) administered by injection on day 0. Body weight and blood samples were collected at day 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 17, 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 38, and 52. All blood samples were analyzed for complete blood count (CBC) profile. On day 22, 38, and 52, tissues from 3 pigs per treatment were obtained for analysis of trace minerals (Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn). Results: Pigs receiving no iron at birth had the slowest growth and lowest hematological profile demonstrating that iron deficiency anemia (IDA) was induced. Hemoglobin concentrations were increased as early as day 6 and continued to increase until day 17 for the 200 and 300 mg iron treatments. Body weight, other hematological measures, and tissue iron content were greater for pigs that received an iron injection at birth. Implications: Pigs that did not receive an iron injection shortly after birth developed IDA resulting in poor growth, low blood hematological measures, and depleted tissue iron reserves. Supplying an iron injection at birth improved preweaning and postweaning growth performance and CBC profile. The magnitude and timing of peak hematological responses was dose dependent.
Survival and transmission of swine influenza A virus within and between farms
Authors: Desrosiers Robert
Published: August 2023

Influenza A virus in swine (IAV-S) survives for a short period within the host, and its survival outside the host does not seem to be a significant obstacle to elimination attempts. Virus circulation within sow farms appears to be related mainly to suckling piglets and recently introduced gilts. Three important ways IAV-S is introduced into sow herds are infected pigs, infected humans, and aerosol. Elimination of IAV-S virus in sow herds should be easier than for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, and it is possible to remain negative for IAV-S on a long-term basis.

Supernumerary Kidney Associated With Other Genitourinary and Cardiovascular Anomalies In A dysmorphic Infant: A Rare Case Report
Authors: AlShahwan Gadah , Bajaber Abubakr , Abasher Abdelazim , Bajaber Omar
Published: August 2023

The supernumerary kidney, also known as the accessory kidney, is one of the rarest congenital anomalies of the genitourinary system without sufficient epidemiological studies. It is defined as having more than two kidneys with each kidney having its own vasculature, collecting system, and capsule. To date, there are few cases documented in literature worldwide. We hereby present the first reported supernumerary kidney case in a preterm 2-month-old infant with dysmorphic features associated with an ectopic kidney and coarctation of the aorta. The coexistence of cardiovascular anomalies and genitourinary anomalies indicates a shared embryologic origin and genetic linkage, underscoring the importance of screening both systems when anomalies are identified in either. Newborn screening ultrasonographic examinations are crucial for detecting congenital anomalies, especially in infants with pertinent medical history or physical features, leading to better outcomes through timely diagnosis and intervention.

The analysis focuses on the Five Forces Competition Model, Customer Value, and Industry Analysis of Grand Pet Shop as a small and medium-sized enterprise (UMKM). The results of the analysis indicate that Grand Pet Shop falls into the moderate-level strategic category. However, it is also classified as an unattractive business due to the high levels of competition, the threat of new entrants, and the threat of substitute products. Grand Pet Shop has effectively implemented customer value in its business operations. To further improve customer satisfaction and attract more clients, the author suggests that Grand Pet Shop should collaborate with veterinarians to provide services for sick or vaccinated pets. Additionally, offering discounts, rewards, and other incentives could be a viable strategy to increase the number of customers. Overall, despite the challenges in the industry, Grand Pet Shop has the potential to thrive with the right strategic adjustments and a focus on enhancing customer value.

Hypothesis Testing
Authors: Martinez Melissa
Published: August 2023

Hypothesis testing is a statistical method used to evaluate the validity of a potential outcome within a defined significance level, comparing it with an alternative hypothesis. It involves establishing null and alternative hypotheses, making assumptions, calculating a test statistic, and selecting a significance level. The decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis is based on the observed test statistic. Terminologies include null and alternative hypotheses, critical region, critical value, errors, p-value, power of a test, and more. Hypothesis testing is crucial in statistical inference and offers insights into relationships between variables. Practical applications range from courtroom trials to gender ratio analysis and behavioral effects studies. However, it's important to note the potential limitations and biases in the application of hypothesis testing.
