Published: November 2024

In order to increase community participation in preventing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, education for the community needs to be carried out through counseling. Tanggamus Regency is one of the areas in Lampung where DHF occurred, where from January to June 2024 there were 227 cases. To increase public knowledge in Banjar Agung Udik Village, Pugung District, Tanggamus Regency regarding phytotelmata as a breeding ground for mosquitoes, this counseling was carried out. Counseling was carried out using the pretest, lecture and discussion methods, and practicum. The results of the counseling showed that most participants knew that DBD and malaria were transmitted by mosquitoes, but not all knew the name of the vector species. Participants knew where mosquitoes perched at home and how to avoid mosquito bites. Participants also know mosquito breeding places, but are new to phytotelmata in this counseling. The practicum carried out by participants successfully identified six plant species that were proven to be phytotelmata. Thus, it can be concluded that this counseling has succeeded in providing knowledge to the community about the potential of phytotelmata as a source of mosquito-borne diseases.Keywords: Phytotelmata; Mosquito Borne Diseases; Mosquito Breeding Places; Mosquitoes Bite. Dalam rangka meningkatkan peran serta masyarakat dalam mencegah penyebaran penyakit tukar nyamuk itulah pendidikan kepada masyarakat perlu perlu dilakukan  melalui penyuluhan.  Kabupaten Tanggamus adalah salah satu daerah di Lampung yang kejadian DBD-nya dimana sejak Januari hingga Juni 2024 ada 227 kasus.

Most of the Simeulue population depends on marine products for their livelihoods. However, the use of bombs in fishing has posed a serious threat to the sustainability of fish resources, which are crucial assets for the community's welfare. The practice of fishing with bombs not only damages marine habitats, including coral reefs, but also threatens the sustainability of fish resources in the future. If allowed to continue, this can harm marine ecosystems and jeopardize the sustainability of the local economy. To address this problem, training and implementing coral reef conservation using the Coral Adoption method is crucial. This initiative, which involves the Simeulue Regency government, Simeulue Police, and TNI, focuses on the community, especially fishermen. The Coral Adoption method is a marine environmental rehabilitation technique that aims to conserve marine biota, accelerate coral reef growth, and restore threatened ecosystems. The training provides participants with knowledge about the negative impacts of fish bombing and the importance of marine environmental rehabilitation. It also empowers them to stop such destructive practices. Furthermore, participants recognize the long-term impacts of fish bombing on their socio-economic aspects, which ultimately increases their commitment to preserving the marine environment for a better future.            Keywords: fish bomb; coral reef; fishing; fisherman  Abstrak: Sebagian besar penduduk Simeulue bergantung pada hasil laut untuk mata pencaharian mereka.

Energy Dissipation in Hilbert Envelopes on Motion Waveforms Detected in Vibrating Dynamical Systems: An Axiomatic Approach
Authors: Peters James F. , Liyanage Tharaka
Published: November 2024

This paper introduces an axiomatic approach in the theory of energy dissipation in Hilbert envelopes on motion waveforms emanating from various vibrating dynamical systems. A Hilbert envelope is a curve tangent to peak points on a motion waveform. The basic approach is to compare non-modulated vs. modulated waveforms in measuring energy loss during the vibratory motion $m(t)$ at time $t$ of a moving object such as a walker, runner, biker or the action of any spring system recorded in a video. Modulation of $m(t)$ is achieved by using Mersenne primes to adjust the frequency $\omega$ in the Fourier transform $m(t)e^{\pm j2\pi \omega t}$ on motion waveform $m(t)$, where the frequency $\omega$ is a Mersenne prime. Expenditure of energy $E_{m(t)}$ by a system is measured in terms of the area bounded by the motion $m(t)$ waveform at time $t$. Energy dissipation is measured in terms of the difference between modulated and non-modulated $m(t)$.
A contribuição da dança para o desenvolvimento do equilíbrio motor na infância: Uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Menezes Sergiane Ferreira , Ocampo Luan Marcel de Oliveira , Boaventura Alessandra Bárbara César de Freitas , Viana Joaquim Albuquerque
Published: November 2024

Na infância, o repertório de movimentos é fortalecido, portanto, a integração sensorial através da dança é uma excelente oportunidade para o desenvolvimento das habilidades motoras, percepção espacial e corporal, além da criança ter a oportunidade de explorar os limites do seu corpo. Logo, o ensino através da dança não é apenas um símbolo cultural ou uma forma de expressão, mas uma ferramenta que contribui para o aprimoramento de habilidades básicas e fundamentais, como o “equilíbrio motor”. Partindo deste cenário, este estudo tem como proposta uma estratégia qualitativa, de caráter integrativo, por meio de uma revisão literária, tomando como ponto de partida o objetivo dessa pesquisa – que é verificar através de uma análise integrativa estudos que abordem como a dança contribui no desenvolvimento do equilíbrio motor na infância, bem como contextualizar os fundamentos da dança, do equilíbrio motor e a sua inserção nas aulas de Educação Física, beneficiando diretamente os leitores e os futuros docentes da área. Vale ressaltar que o estudo busca trazer aos interessados, reflexões acerca da contribuição da dança na Educação Física, que se encontra tão desvalorizada, pois nas escolas a dança só é manifestada como forma de entretenimento em eventos. Com este estudo é possível compreender que a dança vai além disso, e que pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento educacional dos discentes.

Published: November 2024

No campo da interpretação de exames de imagem, os radiologistas combinam conhecimentos clínicos e técnicos para alcançar um diagnóstico preciso. Por outro lado, a inteligência artificial (IA) tem a capacidade de processar e combinar grandes volumes de dados. Diante disso, questiona-se qual seria o papel da IA no campo da radiologia quando comparada aos médicos radiologistas. O presente estudo busca realizar um comparativo entre a inteligência artificial e os médicos radiologistas no campo da interpretação de exames de imagem por meio de revisão literária, que utilizou as bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e Fiocruz como meios de pesquisa. Há estudos que comprovam que atualmente algumas bases de dados das inteligências artificiais embasadas em “deep learning” ainda não são suficientes para conseguir resultados de diagnóstico de imagem superior à 80% de sensibilidade, tomando como comparação sensibilidade de exames padrões sem interpretação de inteligência artificial. A conclusão foi que há indícios que a IA pode alcançar níveis de acurácia semelhantes ou superiores aos dos radiologistas em determinadas condições. No entanto, a participação conjunta entre homem e inteligência artificial aumenta a sensibilidade dos exames de imagem, assim como a acurácia.

Este estudo tem o objetivo de revisar a literatura científica existente sobre os efeitos da alimentação natural na microbiota intestinal e na função gastrointestinal de cães e gatos. A análise foca em identificar padrões e tendências entre os resultados de diferentes estudos, ao mesmo tempo que destaca lacunas de conhecimento e áreas que exigem mais pesquisas. Os resultados visam auxiliar tutores e profissionais veterinários a tomarem decisões nutricionais informadas, visando uma alimentação mais adequada e saudável para os pets.
Occurrence and distribution of the microsporidium Vairimorpha (Nosema) spp. in apiaries in Brazil - Systematic review
Authors: Lage Vivian Marina Gomes Barbosa , Santana Camila Dias , Noronha Rejane Peixoto , Barbosa Cristiane de Jesus , Lima Suzana Telles da Cunha
Published: November 2024

Nosemosis is one of the main diseases of bees, caused by microsporidia of the genus Vairimorpha (Nosema). The main etiologic agents are Vairimorpha apis and Vairimorpha ceranae. These pathogens are widely distributed around the world, and in Brazil, they have already been reported in some states, but these data have never been gathered in a review. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the occurrence and distribution of the microsporidium Vairimorpha spp. in apiaries in Brazil. The search was done in the SciELO, PubMed, DOAJ, and Capes Journals (Scopus) databases. 14 articles were selected and published in English and Portuguese. In the included publications, only eight Brazilian states were referred (Bahia, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Piauí, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo). No work was conducted in the northern of the country, and most of the publications are concentrated in the southern and southeastern. Regarding the Vairimorpha species, only V. apis and V. ceranae were investigated, and V. ceranae was predominantly detected. Most of the studies were done only with the Africanized bee Apis mellifera. This review showed which Brazilian regions have never been explored in terms of incidence and distribution of these pathogens, revealing a gap to be filled by the country's beekeeping surveillance and health systems. In addition, because of the great Brazilian biodiversity, it is evident that the occurrence and distribution of these pathogens also need to be investigated with other bee species.
Skeletal muscle loss and disease progression in mouse models of metastatic colorectal cancer
Authors:   , Wijler Liza Arianne
Published: November 2024

During my PhD, we investigated skeletal muscle loss and disease progression in mouse models of metastatic colorectal cancer. As patients with advanced CRC often suffer from cancer cachexia syndrome and experience weight loss, reduced muscle mass, fatigue and loss of appetite as a result of the disease and treatment, there is a clear need for better understanding of which interventions can be beneficial to mitigate cancer cachexia. We investigated the effects of specialized nutrition to support muscle function during chemotherapeutic treatment in preclinical models of cancer cachexia and CRC. We showed that specialized nutrition, containing ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (EPA and DHA), leucine-enriched, high-protein, additional vitamin D, and prebiotic fibers attenuated chemotherapy-associated toxicity in C2C12 differentiated muscle cells while treatment responses of 3D-patient derived organoids were unaffected. Specialized nutrition preserved muscle mass and function without attenuating treatment response in the C26 mouse model.

By using patient-derived 3D tumor organoids and microsurgical techniques, we aimed to improve preclinical modeling of advanced metastatic CRC in vivo. These models provided a platform to investigate the effects of exercise on metastasis formation and organotropism, as well as onward metastasis from colorectal liver metastasis. We found that organoid-initiated tumors growing in the liver were significantly more efficient in seeding distant metastases (spreading to distant liver lobes, lung and peritoneum) compared to organoid-initiated tumors of the same origin growing in the caecum (primary tumor site). The enhanced metastatic capacity of the liver tumors was associated with the formation of ‘hotspots’ of vitronectin-positive blood vessels surrounded by macrophages. Lastly, we investigated the effect of voluntary exercise on metastatic organotropism and metastasis of colorectal cancer. Our results suggest that exercise has the potential to influence the patterns and extent of metastasis by the observation of metastatic organotropism shifting from liver to lung. Moreover, our results indicate that the degree and intensity of exercise are likely to be important variables in these changes in disease progression.

By answering the question how to tailor multimodal interventions towards individual patients’ needs, we can build towards improved nutritional and exercise intervention strategies for (metastatic) CRC patients. Furthermore, the continuous improvement of preclinical models with high translational potential, such as the application of patient-derived 3D organoids and orthotopic modeling of metastatic disease, will provide a solid platform for identification of factors influencing processes of (onward) metastasis of colorectal cancer.

INDIAN COLONIALITY AND INDIGENOUS CHRISTIAN IDENTITY
Authors:   Associate Professor and Head of the Communication Department Gurukul Lutheran Theological College & Research Institute, Chennai-10, Sounder raj Singh Dr. D. Samuel
Published: November 2024

India, a prominent country in the subcontinent, spans 2,933 kilometers from east to west and 3,214 kilometers from north to south, with a total land area of 3,287 square kilometers, encompassing diverse topographical features. Prior to colonialism, India was a culturally rich and religiously diverse land, with history dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Various empires such as the Mauryan, Gupta, and Mughal empires shaped its history. Major religions included Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, and the caste system was integral to society. Women's rights were limited, and India had extensive trade connections with the Middle East, East Asia, and Europe. Colonial rule, characterized by European exploitation and modernization efforts, began with Vasco da Gama's arrival and expanded with the British East India Company’s dominance by the 19th century. The British colonization brought significant changes, including economic exploitation, cultural suppression, and political subjugation. This paper employs a decolonial methodology to challenge Euro-centric worldviews and highlight the experiences of marginalized communities. It advocates for education on religious diversity, interfaith dialogue, legal protection, inclusive representation, and community engagement to promote mutual respect and understanding. Government policies should aim to eliminate discrimination and support religious minorities, while structural inequalities must be addressed. Empowering religious leaders and promoting peacebuilding initiatives are crucial for fostering reconciliation and inclusivity. These strategies should be contextually sensitive, considering the unique needs of different religious communities

This project presents the design and development of a solar-powered fertilizer manufacturing machine that utilizes kitchen waste as a primary feedstock. The growing concern over waste management and the need for sustainable agricultural practices prompted the exploration of innovative solutions to recycle organic waste into valuable resources. The proposed machine employs a two-stage process: first, the anaerobic digestion of kitchen waste to produce biogas and digestate, followed by the solar-assisted thermal treatment of the digestate to create nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. By harnessing solar energy, the system minimizes reliance on conventional energy sources, reducing operational costs and environmental impact. The machine is designed for ease of use in urban households, promoting local waste management and fostering community involvement in sustainable practices. Pilot studies indicate a significant reduction in kitchen waste volume and the successful production of high-quality organic fertilizer, which can enhance soil health and crop yield. This project aims to contribute to a circular economy by transforming waste into a resource while addressing the dual challenges of waste disposal and agricultural sustainability.

— Retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration, are significant causes of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Early detection of these diseases is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of vision loss. In recent years, deep learning-based methods have shown promising results in disease detection from medical images. This study proposes a novel approach for detecting retinal diseases using convolutional neural networks (CNN) on retina images. Our approach involves the use of a CNN architecture to analyze retina images and classify them as normal or abnormal. The CNN is trained on a large dataset of retina images labeled with corresponding disease diagnoses. The network consists of multiple convolutional and pooling layers, followed by fully connected layers for classification. We also employ data augmentation techniques to increase the size and diversity of the training dataset. Our system is able to detect diseases with high sensitivity and specificity, indicating its potential for real-world applications.

Dirt and other forms of deposit on solar panel reduce their efficiency in a very dramatic way. Manual cleaning is time consuming as well as dangerous. This work presents SOLARCLEAN AUTOBOT, a robotic system based on the Internet of Things technology to self-clean solar panels. Through the combination of robotics technology, Internet of Things, the robot improves cleaning time table, increases efficiency of the panels, and lowers the expenses. The system also includes environmental sensors and panel condition sensors. Data collected through IoT is sent in real-time for monitoring and controlling purposes. Utilizing IoT technology, the robot is equipped with sensors that relay data such as battery life, location, and panel cleanliness. Intruder repellent technology is increasingly being integrated into solar panel cleaning systems to enhance security. By using ultrasonic waves or motion sensors, these systems deter potential intruders like birds, animals, etc, while ensuring that panels remain free of dirt and debris. This dual functionality not only protects valuable solar investments but also maintains optimal energy production. As renewable energy infrastructure grows, such innovations are essential for safeguarding assets against theft and vandalism.

Experiments conducted on 10 male Wistar rats established various adaptive reactions of the rate of blood flow in the stomach and jejunum of hungry and well-fed animals to a stress state modelled by hypothermia. During the period of maximum body cooling (below 32°C), in hungry and well-fed animals, the rate of blood flow in the stomach showed no significant changes. In the jejunum, the rate of blood flow in hungry animals tended to slow down, while it increased significantly in well-fed animals.

Arterial gas embolism can result from complications related to medical and surgical procedures, as well as a direct entry of air into the systemic circulation due to the disruption of the alveolar-capillary barrier. Since air in the arterial circulation can lead to organ ischemia, this life-threatening pathology requires prompt intervention. In this study, we demonstrated the effectiveness of using a hyperoxic heated helium-oxygen mixture in cerebral arterial air embolism. Oxygen therapy under normobaric conditions did not affect the outcome of arterial air embolism. A continuous inhalation session for 30 min, or intermittent inhalation sessions 3 times for 5 min each, eliminated foci of ischemic stroke in rats.

This work shows that age-related arterial hypertension in Wistar rats develops with age, in 52% of 18-monthold animals versus 33% of 3-month-old animals. Effects of Taxifolin at a dose of 100 mg/kg, administered intraperitoneally for a week, on blood pressure (BP) and biochemical parameters in 18-month-old and 3-month-old animals were studied. The experimental animals were divided into two groups, those normotensive (BP<115 mmHg) and hypertensive (BP>115 mmHg). It was shown that a weekly course of Taxifolin leads to a significant decrease in blood pressure in hypertensive 18-month-old animals with no effect on blood pressure in normotensive animals. In addition, some age-related changes in the biochemical parameters of blood under the influence of Taxifolin were revealed.

In order to ensure adequate nutrition of musk deer in captivity, it is essential to have data on the digestibility of feed nutrients. In this work, we carry out an indirect assessment of the digestive characteristics of captive musk deer in the autumn and winter periods. The influence of age, gender, physiological state, and seasonal changes on nutrient excretion is analyzed. The most sensitive parameter was found to be mineral metabolism, phosphorus metabolism in particular. Other unstable parameters include excretion of fiber, fat, and protein. The results obtained provide information on the digestibility of feed and justify the need for balancing feedings for different age and sex groups of musk deer kept under farm conditions.
