“Tres homiños” y otras narraciones desconocidas a la luz de los Diarios y la biografía de Syra Alonso, exiliada gallega en México
Authors: Arranz Mínguez Conrado J.
Published: December 2024

Las denominadas escrituras del yo que se produjeron a raíz del exilio español republicano han constituido una invaluable fuente referencial para la Historia, pero han sido menos estudiadas desde una perspectiva literaria, más aún si era autora y no disponía de más obra y, todavía más, si su lectura no se podía hacer en una lengua hegemónica. Este es el caso de Syra Alonso, exiliada gallega en México, cuya huida, junto con sus tres hijos, se produjo tras el asesinato de su esposo, el pintor vanguardista Francisco Miguel. Estas circunstancias impulsaron la escritura de sus Diarios: el Diario de Tordoia, escrito en Galicia antes de salir hacia el exilio, y el Diario de Actopan, escrito en México un año después de su llegada, ambos publicados íntegramente por primera vez en gallego en el año 2000. Tras un trabajo de búsqueda hemerográfica, la reunión en este artículo de hasta siete narraciones desconocidas de la autora, publicadas entre 1943 y 1951 en dos revistas literarias mexicanas, resignifica la obra de Syra Alonso y ofrece respuestas a momentos biográficos esenciales de su exilio, que no se conocían hasta ahora. Por tanto, se propone, por un lado, un análisis de la recepción crítica de sus Diarios que pueda dar respuesta a la invisibilidad de la autora dentro del canon y, por otro, un análisis contextual, literario e incluso etnográfico de estas narraciones en diálogo con su obra diarística y su propia biografía. Todo, ante la urgencia de un presente marcado por el hallazgo del cuerpo de Francisco Miguel en una fosa común de Bértoa hace escasos meses, un presente de memoria histórica, reparación y homenaje.
ELECTRIC FIELD IN CROSS-LINKED POLYETHYLENE CABLE INSULATION WITH ECCENTRICITY AND SEMICONDUCTOR SCREEN DEFECT

Published: December 2024

The study of two-dimensional electric field in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation with eccentricity and a protrusion of the insulation into the internal semiconducting screen of high-voltage cable is carried out by computer modeling. The non-uniformity of the distribution and the regularities of the change in the level of the electric field depending on the considered defects are analyzed. The dependence of the maximum electric field strength on insulation concentricity (within the range of 0–0.5) is presented. The need to prevent the eccentricity of the XLPE insulation system and its defects in the production process of power cables is grounded to ensure their high quality and further reliable operation.

ELECTROSTATIC FIELD IN A BARRIER DISCHARGE CHAMBER FOR WATER PURIFICATION CONSIDERING INDIVIDUAL WATER DROPLETS
Authors:   Institute of Electrodynamics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Beresteiskyi Ave., 56, Kyiv, 03057, Ukraine, Kryshchuk R.S.
Published: December 2024

The use of pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) for water purification via low-temperature plasma (LTP) is a promising technology. DBD enables the purification of water in a droplet-film state from organic contaminants by generating highly reactive molecules (OH radicals, O, H2O2, and O3 molecules) produced in LTP upon contact with water. A two-dimensional model was developed to calculate the electrostatic field in the DBD discharge chamber (DC), which includes two electrodes, a dielectric barrier, two water droplets or streams in the air gap, and water films. The model employs Laplace’s equation for the electrostatic field with periodic boundary conditions. Expressions were proposed for determining the length of the symmetric part of the DC and setting the voltage on the electrodes with a constant droplet surface area and a constant average electric field intensity in the air gap, independent of droplet radius. The study investigates the dependence of the electrostatic field energy and DC capacitance on the droplet radius and their mutual positioning along the DC length. Changes in electrode voltage and droplet density per unit DC length relative to droplet radius are demonstrated. An analysis of the electric field distribution, DC capacitance, and stored energy was conducted. The average electric field intensity on the surfaces of droplets and water films was examined. The electric forces acting on the droplets were determined using Maxwell's stress tensor. An expression was derived for calculating the recommended amount of water in the form of droplets or streams per unit dimensions of the DC to achieve a more uniform distribution of the electric field intensity within the DC and to minimize the impact of electric forces on the droplets.

The paper is devoted to the development of algorithms for the programm implementation of digital statistically optimal regulators of electric drives, which are under the influence of dynamic loads that change according to stochastic laws. On the basis of continuous transfer functions of statistically optimal regulators for similar loads, which can be approximated by exponential and exponential-cosine correlation functions, the following algorithms were obtained in the form of recurrent difference equations, which can be implemented by software. Recommendations have been developed for the accuracy of determining the parameters of the corresponding digital regulators. Ref. 11, fig. 5.
THE CONTIGUITY OF MUSA’S SHARIA IN THE QURAN: TORAH AND ṢUḤUF TERMINOLOGY IN EXEGETICAL LITERATURES
Authors: Saputra Ali Thaufan Dwi , Ansari Miftach
Published: December 2024

This article attempts to trace the contiguity of the substance of the sharia revealed to Musa in the Quran by tracing the terminology of the Torah and Ṣuḥuf on exegetical sources. The article will track the intersection of the classical and contemporary exegetical sources that use the jurisprudence approach as a lens in interpreting the Quran. This research is qualitative in nature, and the method used is descriptive-analytical. As a result, at least based on exegetical literature, there is a specific intersection between the sharia brought by Musa and the sharia brought by Muhammad in the Quran. The intersection lies, for example, in legal aspects such as qiṣāṣ, diyāt and rajam. However, there are different views on addressing this contiguity. One view is that the contiguity does not mean anything because the previous sharia has been abolished by the revelation of the Quran. Another view states that the Quran is a conclusive-confirmative revelation and does not abolish previous sharia.

Published: December 2024

Disruption of the intestinal microflora and, in particular, an increase in the activity of bacterial β-glucuronidase, which is involved in estrogen metabolism and immune inflammation, is one of the probable factors in the development of adenomyosis.
Aim - to investigate the activity of fecal β-glucuronidase in patients with symptomatic adenomyosis and determine its significance as a laboratory marker of the effectiveness of complex correction of this pathology
Materials and methods. 150 women were examined - 120 patients with symptomatic adenomyosis who received standard treatment or an elimination diet depending on the detected type of food intolerance (study groups), and 30 healthy individuals without clinical and laboratory signs of inflammatory processes in the body and intestinal diseases (comparison group). The activity of β-glucuronidase in feces was determined for all of them
using phenolphthalein glucuronide as a substrate. Statistical data processing was carried out using the SPSS 21 program.
Results. Our results indicate that the activity of fecal β-glucuronidase in patients of the study groups was 1.5 times higher than in healthy women of the comparison group. Minimizing the consumption of disruptor products in combination with nutritional correction made it possible to reduce the frequency of complaints from the gastrointestinal tract. A significant decrease in β-glucuronidase activity was established in the study groups.
Conclusions. Determination of fecal β-glucuronidase activity can probably be an objective marker of the effectiveness of complex correction of symptomatic adenomyosis, which requires further research.
The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies.

Aim - to study the state of general and local immunity in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC); to determine the role of immunity in the pathogenesis and prognosis of disease recurrence.
Materials and methods. A prospective study of systemic and local immunity was carried out - the level of immunocompetent peripheral blood cells (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD19, CD56) in patients with RVVC and a wide range of cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α and secretory IgA) in the cells of the vaginal mucosa. The main group (МG) consisted of 70 women of reproductive age with RVVC and 40 healthy women of reproductive age, who made up the control group (CG). Statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed using the "SPSS Statistics" software. Differences at p<0.05 are considered statistically significant.
Results. Average values of the main proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 (135±15 mg/ml vs. 92±12 mg/ml), TNF-α (10±2 mg/ml vs. 5±1 mg/ml), lFN-γ (90±11 mg/ml vs. 20±5 mg/ml) in patients with RVVC significantly exceeded similar indicators in healthy women (p<0.05). The level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was almost twice as low as in CG patients (7±1 pg/ml vs. 11±2 pg/ml, p<0.05). The most pronounced changes are found in patients with RVVK occurring on the bacterial vaginosis - so the level of IL-6 pg/ml in patients was 236±55 pg/ml against 94±12 pg/ml in CG, p<0.001; IL-10 - 5±2 pg/ml versus 11±2 pg/ml, respectively, p<0.05; IFN-γ - 104±3 pg/ml versus 20±5 pg/ml in CG and TNF-α 12±3 pg/ml versus 5±1 pg/ml in CG; p<0.001. In the case of chronic RVVC caused by fungi C. albicans and C. non-albicans species, a significant increase in the content of only IFN-γ was found (90±11 pg/ml vs. 20±5 pg/ml in CG, p<0.001; and 52±11 pg/ml vs. 20±5 pg/ml in CG, p<0.05) and TNF-α (10±2 pg/ml vs. 5±1 pg/ml in CG, p<0.05).
Conclusions. Changes in local immunity play a significant role in the development of RVVC: an increase in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α) and a decrease in the level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-l0. The ratio of IFN-γ/IL-l0 is a marker of the severity of the course of RVVC and the frequency of disease relapses.
The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies.

Published: December 2024

Aim of the study

This study aims to evaluate the hydraulic and field performance of center irrigation systems in a semi-arid climate to determine their efficiency and effectiveness in optimizing water use and crop yield in such conditions.

Material and methods

The performance evaluation of the center pivot system involved placing two rows of catch-cans, spaced three meters apart and radiating outward from the pivot point, to measure the distribution and uniformity of irrigation. This setup helped in assessing the system’s efficiency in delivering water.

Results and conclusions

In the Almutawar system, the average performance metrics for the 2022/2023 season were: CU = 77.8%, DU = 85.7%, SC = 1.2%, AE = 84.3%, and WL = 18%. For the 2023/2024 season, these metrics were: CU = 78.9%, DU = 85.6%, SC = 1.2%, AE = 84.9%, and WL = 18.3%. Similarly, in the Zimmatic system, the average results were: CU = 79.1%, DU = 87.5%, SC = 1.2%, AE = 87.4%, and WL = 17.0% for 2022/2023, and CU = 79.9%, DU = 85.8%, SC = 1.2%, AE = 88.2%, and WL = 15.9% for 2023/2024. ANOVA revealed that the differences in CU, DU, and AE across treatments were not statistically significant (P = 0.01), though a general trend suggesting improved performance in the 2023/2024 season was noted. The study found that the hydraulic function of the center pivot system varied with different steering modes, suggesting potential issues with design compliance and efficiency. Further investigation into these discrepancies could help in optimizing system performance.

Noting a considerable rise in those of “no religion” and a fall in those belonging to the Church of Scotland, geographical patterns and an age breakdown are discussed. These figures indicate the scale of the challenge facing Scotland’s denominations.
Reimagining our common mission: ‘Tell Scotland’ now
Authors: Forsyth Alexander
Published: December 2024

In mainstream churches, with particular reference to the Church of Scotland, this paper argues that the concept of ‘mission’ is in need of rehabilitation. It has been reduced to vague objectives and is being tainted by being linked with a programme of restructuring and church closures. The rehabilitation of the concept of ‘mission’ will be necessary as the Kirk proceeds with its task of re-negotiating the future of its ministries, its buildings, and communities. To this end, the paper re-visits the life and work of the Church of Scotland minister and evangelist Tom Allan (1916–1965), drawing out principles from both his work at parish level and with the ‘Tell Scotland’ national mission campaign. Rather than being about numerical gain or preserving institutional structures, ‘mission’ might be understood and lived out through theologically reflective, lay-empowering, and relational community engagement, creating space for new possibilities shaped by God’s grace.

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SURGICAL VOLUME AND MORTALITY FROM COLON CANCER IN COLOMBIA: A NATIONAL COHORT
Authors: CASTRO-CUARÁN María Fernanda , JUNCA Edgar German , GONZALEZ-PATIÑO Diego Felipe , BUITRAGO Giancarlo
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Colon cancer is the third most common malignancy in Colombia, only exceeded by prostate and breast cancers. It is the second most common cancer among females and the third most common among males. The epidemiology of this disease has changed in Colombia, and its peak incidence has now surpassed that of gastric cancer. AIMS: We aimed to determine the association between hospital surgical volume and mortality in patients with colon cancer undergoing surgical resection in Colombia. METHODS: This was a national retrospective cohort study based on administrative data and included adult patients undergoing surgical resection for colon cancer who were enrolled in Colombia’s contributory health system between 2012 and 2017. We defined exposure as the hospital’s surgical volume where the colon cancer surgery was performed. We classified the patients as exposed to a high surgical volume (above the 90th percentile of the provider distribution) and a low surgical volume (under the 90th percentile). The main outcomes were 30-day and 1-year mortality. Multivariate Poisson regressions were used to identify the association between exposure and mortality rates. RESULTS: The study included 4,647 patients, of which 4,188 underwent surgery at hospitals with a colectomy volume lower than 33 per year and 459 underwent surgery at institutions with volumes equal to or higher than 33 per year. In the multivariate analysis, after adjusting for observable variables, a lower risk of 30-day mortality was found in patients who underwent surgery at high surgical volume institutions (relative risk - RR 0.57, 95% confidence interval - 95%CI 0.033-0.97). No differences were found in the one-year mortality. CONCLUSION: The high surgical volume of a hospital is associated with a 30-day mortality in colon cancer, as described in other studies, but the 1-year mortality did not show this association. Prospective studies are required to establish a causal relationship.

Abstract Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by alveolar bone loss. The high polyphenol content in cocoa pod husk (Theobroma cacao L) has the potential to influence bone metabolism and contribute to the inhibition of bone resorption. The aim of this study was to analyze the anti-osteoclastogenesis potential of cocoa pod husk (Theobroma cacao L.) in both in silico and in vivo study. An analysis of the anti-osteoclastogenesis potential of T. cacao bioactive compounds was conducted using molecular docking simulations. Thirty male Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) were randomly assigned to control negative groups (placebo gel), control positive groups (2% doxycycline gel), and treatment groups (10% cocoa pod husk (CPH) extract gel), with measurements taken on days 7 and 14. Wistar rats were induced with 0.05 ml of P. gingivalis at a concentration of 2x109 CFU/ml intrasulcularly in the maxillary molar to achieved in periodontitis. The number of osteoclasts was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, the level of TNF-α was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the expression of RANKL was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA to examine the differences between the groups. The in silico study showed that the catechin, epicatechin, quercetin, and procyanidin B2 had a strong binding affinity for TNF-α and RANKL. Administration of 10% CPH reduced the number of osteoclasts (p<0.05), TNF-α level on days 7 and 14 (p<0.05), and RANKL expression on day 7 (p<0.05) in experimental rats with periodontitis. Administering 10% CPH inhibited osteoclastogenesis in the experimental periodontitis rats.

Published: December 2024

Abstract Sun exposure is responsible for most lip lesions and, when diagnosed late, the prognosis is unfavorable. Treatments are usually mutilating, palliative, and expensive. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of lip diseases and factors associated with its development in peddlers on two beaches of the Guarujá/Brazil coast. Data were collected by clinical examination and use of a questionnaire of 182 peddlers on the beaches. They also received an explanatory folder with information about oral care, and the importance of the use of sunscreen for cancer prevention. All workers diagnosed with lip injuries were referred for dental treatment. The prevalence of lip alterations was 40.7% (n = 70), furthermore, smokers included 27.5%, and alcohol consumption was 20.3%. Regarding selfie protection, 72% of workers reported wearing a hat or cap frequently, 48.4% reported using body sunscreen, and only 11.5% reported using lip balm. There were no significant differences in factors such as alcoholism and smoking related to lip lesions diagnosis. However, when characterizing these factors, 48.6% of those who drink, or smoke have lip alterations. It can be concluded that the population of peddlers on the beaches of Guarujá has a high rate of lip alteration which suggests the need to implement educational health strategies aimed at informing the population about risk factors and preventive measures for lip diseases.

RESUMO Objetivo: Realizar a avaliação da adequação pragmática da Teoria Interativa de Amamentação a partir do Modelo de Fawcett. Método: Estudo teórico, conforme critérios de avaliação proposto por Fawcett. Utilizaram-se as seis perguntas sugeridas no modelo, respondidas a partir da busca na literatura científica, consulta em legislações que respaldam o exercício profissional da enfermagem e informações advindas dos autores da teoria. Resultados: Observou-se que durante a sua formação, o Enfermeiro adquire habilidades para o cuidado, mas é necessário intensificar o manejo clínico voltado à amamentação. Desde sua criação, a teoria é aplicada de forma ascendente, mostrando-se viável a sua aplicação na prática clínica. A existência de leis e resoluções garantem ao enfermeiro clínico o amparo legal necessário para o desenvolvimento de uma prática suportada na Teoria Interativa de Amamentação. Conclusão: A adequação pragmática da teoria foi observada, mostrando que a Teoria Interativa de Amamentação subsidia um cuidado direcionado ao binômio mãe e filho, dando suporte ao enfermeiro em suas tomadas de decisões, contribuindo para a proteção, promoção e apoio à amamentação.
Heidegger’s philosophical foundations and his contribution to palliative nursing and spiritual care
Authors: Jaman-Mewes Paula , Pessoa Vera Lúcia Mendes de Paula , Souza Lorena Campos de , Salvetti Marina de Góes
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT This study aimed to reflect on the spiritual care of nursing in palliative care from the conceptual perspective of Martin Heidegger. The approximation between Heidegger’s philosophical aspects and palliative nursing practice, with a clinical view of spiritual care, promotes reflections on human existence and finitude. Being in palliative care can generate anguish, loss of meaning of life and connection with the world. The relationship of care between nurse and patient, which is established through language, favors comprehensive, intentional and humanized care, and is revealed as this relationship of care deepens. In this relational process, bonds begin to be established between nurse and patient, which can lead to authentic spiritual care. Approaching health from the spiritual dimension is a challenge, as it forces healthcare professionals to come into contact with existential issues of patients, families and themselves. Thus, reflection based on Heidegger’s philosophical aspects allows us to become aware of the facticity of death.

RESUMO Objetivo: mapear a produção científica da enfermagem perioperatória voltada para o adolescente. Método: revisão de escopo baseada nas orientações do JBI e recomendações do Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews. A busca ocorreu entre os meses de fevereiro e março de 2023 em 05 bases de dados e na literatura cinzenta. Resultados: foram incluídos 19 estudos, sendo 13 artigos e 6 trabalhos da literatura cinzenta. Os resultados demonstraram a importância de sistematizar a assistência de enfermagem ao adolescente com ações que visem incluí-los no cuidado e prepará-los para sua trajetória cirúrgica com vistas à redução da ansiedade e respeito às individualidades. Ações como uso de terapias integrativas e complementares, inserção de tecnologias educativas e adequação do ambiente para adolescentes neuroatípicos também foram identificadas. Como lacuna observa-se a escassez de estudos voltados especificamente para o público adolescente, englobando o cuidado deste à população pediátrica. Conclusão: a revisão de escopo mapeou os estudos produzidos pela enfermagem acerca da assistência perioperatória ao adolescente, e indicou uso de estratégias para individualizar o cuidado, reduzir a ansiedade perioperatória e favorecer o engajamento e envolvimento do paciente cirúrgico. Faz-se necessário ampliar a realização de estudos e intervenções que sejam específicas ao público adolescente.

ABSTRACT The patient was referred to the Hospital das Clínicas de São Paulo for resection of the lesion by a head and neck surgeon. Resection was performed in January 2008 and the final diagnosis was low-grade osteoblastic osteosarcoma. He was referred to the prosthetic clinic at the Institute of Science and Technology-UNESP in São José dos Campos, presenting loss of the right hemi-maxilla. The patient was rehabilitated in 2012 with a removable partial palate obturator prosthesis and then distanced himself from treatment, which caused deleterious consequences due to the inherent wear of the material and the maladaptation of the prosthesis, causing him difficulties in speaking and swallowing. After a period of 11 years, the patient returned in 2023 for follow-up and new rehabilitation, being rehabilitated with a removable partial palate obturator prosthesis, where it was possible to obtain a satisfactory maxillofacial prosthesis that provides the patient with the possibility of speaking, eating and swallowing better comfort, despite the limitations that the case presented, in addition to providing psychosocial improvement to the patient.
As bases materiais do ser social a partir de A ideologia alemã
Authors: Santos Sandra Rodrigues dos
Published: December 2024

Resumo Escrita por Marx e Engels entre 1845 e 1846, A ideologia alemã teve como objetivo acertar as contas com a filosofia idealista hegeliana, incluindo nesse acerto sua versão neo-hegeliana e o materialismo contemplativo de Ludwig Feuerbach. Trata-se do escrito em que, pela primeira vez na história da filosofia, foram explicitados os pilares do materialismo histórico. À luz de reflexões em torno da obra em questão, o artigo procura trazer elementos que explicitam a peculiaridade da concepção materialista do ser social instaurada pela dupla de pensadores alemães. Para tanto, buscam-se subsídios nos Manuscritos econômico-filosóficos de 1844, na Introdução Geral de 1857, e nos argumentos de comentadores como György Lukács, José Chasin e Ronaldo Vielmi, visando demonstrar que A ideologia alemã marca a superação decisiva de Marx e Engels do idealismo hegeliano, bem como da filosofia idealista em geral, inaugurando um novo ponto de vista baseado na humanidade social.

ABSTRACT Several ethnobotanical studies highlighted the importance of yellow plum as a useful plant species in the Brazilian Northeast region. In order to domesticate and incorporate a native species in production systems it is necessary to obtain information on its development and genetic variation. This work aimed to analyze the genetic variability of individuals of X. americana, accessed by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) molecular markers. 26 genotypes of X. americana, randomly collected at the private reserve Campo das Emas Farm located in the Caturité City, Paraíba State, Brazil, were used in the study. Through the RAPD technique it was possible to assess the genetic variations among native genotypes within a wild plum population. Based on Sokal and Rohlf dissimilarity coefficient it was possible to form four distinct groups using the UPGMA method. The Cophenetic Correlation Coefficient was 0.83, revealing variability in the consistency of the cluster pattern. The genotypes of X. americana have genetic diversity detected by RAPD markers, which have shown to be efficient in characterizing individuals. Genotypes 4, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 24, and 25 are the most divergent and should be used in conservation strategies and breeding programs.

ABSTRACT New technologies developed to control weeds in crops have flourished in recent years. Therefore, the objective of this work was to study the competitive ability of maize hybrids 2B433 (Enlist®), Pioneer 30F53 (VYHR®), and 13K288 PWE (Enlist®) and a conventional (non-transgenic) variety with a distinct biotechnological background when competing against wild poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla) and Alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea). Crops and competitors were studied in distinct plant proportions: 20:0, 15:5, 10:10, 5:15 and 0:20 plants per pot or 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100% (crop:weed) in replacement series experiments. Fifty days after emergence, the leaf area and aboveground dry mass were measured. Concomitantly, the photosynthetic and carboxylation efficiency and CO2 concentration were assessed in the leaf mesophyll. Maize hybrid 2B433 (Enlist®) showed better physiological and morphological performance compared to the conventional variety, and hybrids 13K288 PWE (Enlist®) and 30F53 (VYHR®) showed better performance when competing with wild poinsettia or Alexandergrass. The increased competitive ability seems to be due to the greater leaf area and aboveground dry mass reported for 2B433 (Enlist®). Therefore, the competitive ability presented by the hybrids was distinct, and we found no evidence that the transgenic event present in these hybrids affected their competitive ability.

ABSTRACT Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) has been less studied compared to other crop species of the family Malvaceae, thus presenting high potential for research, mainly in genetic improvement. Morphological characterization is a pre-breeding step that can be conducted using quantitative and qualitative descriptors. Thus, the objective of this study was to morphologically characterize commercial okra accessions to provide a foundation for breeding programs in this crop species. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of the Federal Institute of Alagoas, Piranhas, AL, Brazil, using a randomized block design with five treatments and five replications. Okra plants and fruits were characterized through qualitative descriptors, using a hierarchical clustering of accessions based on Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). The greatest genetic distance was found between the Santa Cruz-47 and Clemson Americano-80 accessions, whereas the lowest distance was found between the Cariri and Apuim accessions. The UPGMA analysis resulted in two accession groups: group I consisting of Clemson Americano-80 and Canindé accessions, and group II consisting of Cariri, Apuim, and Santa Cruz-47 accessions. Viable hybrids can be obtained from crossings between accessions of group I and group II.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance and select biomass sorghum genotypes for growing in different regions of Brazil based on adaptability and stability analysis using the GGE biplot method. The 25 genotypes evaluated were from trials of value for cultivation and use (VCU) of biomass sorghum of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa Maize and Sorghum) Breeding Program, conducted in eight locations across Brazil (Sobral, CE; Jaguariúna and Narandiba, SP; Nova Porteirinha and Sete Lagoas, MG; Planaltina, DF; Vilhena, RO; and Terra Rica, PR) during the 2021-2022 crop season. A randomized block experimental design with three replications was used. The following traits of were subjected to joint analysis of variance: plant height, flowering, and fresh and dry matter yields. The confirmation of genotype-by-environment interaction (G×E) was followed by adaptability and stability analysis using the GGE biplot method for all traits. The adjusted means were used to obtain the mean clustering using the Scott-Knott test (p < 0.05). Biomass sorghum genotypes showed a longer growth cycle, taller plants, and higher biomass yield than forage sorghum genotypes. The experimental sorghum hybrids 202129B014 and 202129B016 and the commercial hybrid BRS 716 can be recommended for fresh and dry matter production in all tested environments due to their high adaptability and stability.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize the outturn index, field outturn index, uniformity of maturity, and maturation cycle of fifteen Coffea canephora genotypes grown in different environments of the Western Amazon. Conducted in Amazonas (Itacoatiara and Manaus) and Rondônia (Porto Velho), the research evaluated the performance of ten cultivars and five promising genotypes from Embrapa. The genotype × environment interaction was significant, indicating different performance of clones across environments. Genotypic coefficients surpassed environmental ones, indicating a genetic influence on outturn indices and uniformity of maturity. The mean outturn index was 24.68%, and the field outturn index was 22.57%, with Itacoatiara having the highest mean values. The overall mean fruit uniformity of maturity was 63.02%, with Porto Velho achieving the highest mean uniformity value (71.78%). The cultivar BRS1216 exhibited the best performance for outturn indices and provided the highest gain from selection across environments, showing wide adaptability for the outturn index and adaptability to environments favorable for field outturn. Cultivars BRS3210 and BRS3220 achieved more than 82% uniformity of maturity across locations, with BRS3210 adapting to favorable environments and BRS3220 adapting to unfavorable ones. Additionally, BRS3220 had a high mean field outturn index, indicating wide adaptability and high phenotypic stability. The evaluated Amazon Robusta clones and cultivars displayed the expected maturation cycles.

ABSTRACT Non-traditional galactomannans sources are widely cultivated in the Brazilian Northeast Region, such as the species Caesalpinia pulcherrima (peacock flower) and Delonix regia (flamboyant). The galactomannans GM-CP and GM-DR were extracted from the respective seeds and are being studied as potential therapeutic agents, but systematic evaluations on their acute toxicity are yet to be reported. Groups of three female rats received oral GMCP or GM-DR (300 mg kg-1), whereas a control group received vehicle (saline). Since there was no lethality, other groups received doses of 2000 mg kg-1, which also did not cause lethality. Organs and blood samples were collected on day 14. Mechanical hypernociception and inflammatory cell influx were measured in other groups receiving intra-articular doses of GM-CP or GM-DR (200 µg, n = 5 per group). Neither galactomannan evoked physiological / behavioral changes or joint inflammation. Since the LD50 was less than 2000 mg kg-1, such polysaccharides may be allocated in the class 5 of the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.

RESUMO No Brasil, a chegada, os registros, as solicitações de refúgio e as matrículas escolares por parte de crianças e adolescentes migrantes e refugiados vêm aumentando desde meados da última década. Procurando contribuir para o debate sobre migração e educação, este artigo teve como objetivo analisar as práticas pedagógicas de inclusão voltadas para a educação de crianças e adolescentes migrantes e refugiados que chegaram ao país desde 2010. O estudo foi realizado por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, nos anos de 2020 e 2021, período em que se levantaram informações sobre os instrumentos jurídicos que garantem o direito de acesso dessas crianças e adolescentes às instituições de ensino no Brasil. Ademais, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais da educação, responsáveis por desenvolver atividades pedagógicas, a fim de promover a inclusão educacional na escola. O estudo concluiu que há diversos obstáculos para a inclusão dessas crianças e adolescentes e que o corpo escolar vem desenvolvendo, de forma autônoma, práticas pedagógicas para superação das dificuldades e realização do processo de inclusão escolar.
Leveling the Playing Field: Addressing Structural Inequalities to Accelerate Poverty Reduction in Africa
Authors:   World Bank
Published: December 2024

Structural sources of Africa’s inequality are rooted in laws, institutions, and practices that create advantages for a few but disadvantages for many. They include differences in living standards that come from inherited or unalterable characteristics, such as where people are born and their parents’ education, ethnicity, religion, and gender. They also arise from market and institutional distortions that privilege some firms, farms, and workers to access markets, employment, and opportunities while limiting access for the majority and limiting earning opportunities. "Leveling the Playing Field: Addressing Structural Inequalities to Accelerate Poverty Reduction in Africa" argues that policies to address high levels of structural inequality in Africa are also at the heart of what is needed to accelerate progress in reducing extreme poverty. There is nothing inevitable about structural inequality. Economies that put up barriers to opportunities can also remove and replace them with policies that create a level playing field. Indeed, across the world, countries where opportunities are distributed more fairly grow faster and have lower poverty incidence. Broadening access to opportunities represents one of Africa’s key prospects for raising productivity and earnings and accelerating poverty reduction. Leveraging the most recent data available for the region, "Leveling the Playing Field" provides recommendations aimed at improving the productive capacity of the poor, the ability of poor individuals to use their capacities for well-paying job opportunities, and the design of fair fiscal policies.

Recent dental material advancements have sparked increased interest in dental cements due to their natural tooth-like appearance, biocompatibility and stability. These cements hold potential for dental fillings, enamel and root protection, and connecting dental implants. However, no single cement fulfils all application needs, necessitating multiple types. Ideal dental cements require resistance to degradation, strong bonding, high strength, fracture toughness and optical transparency for imaging. The solid-state method reaction was used for the synthesis of calcium aluminate (C3A) cement powder and the effects of the addition of 10 wt% and 20 wt% zirconia (ZrO2), bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) and zinc oxide (ZnO) were examined. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, radiopacity evaluation and tests for setting time and compressive strength, were performed for characterisation and property evaluations. With the formation of a new phase (C3ZA2), the compressive strength was increased by up to 275% by reducing the porosity and stabilising phase transitions during hydration. The results showed that bismuth oxide and zirconia additives led to high radiopacity (7 and 3.5 millimetres of equivalent aluminium, respectively), good biological properties and a significant impact on strength in dental applications.
