Authors: Pristianto Arif , Latifah Alifia Putri , Susilo Taufik Eko
Published: June 2024

The quadriceps muscle group is important for daily activities and generating power during sports, especially sports involving the lower extremities. Squat is an effective exercise to increase the strength of the quadriceps muscle group. The Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) can increase the load during exercise leading to a significant increase in strength. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding BFR in squat exercises to increase MVIC values in the quadriceps muscle group. This research was a pilot study using an experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The samples of this study were 11 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The samples were divided into two groups. Group 1 involved 5 respondents given a squat training with BFR, while group 2 involved 6 respondents given a squat training without BFR. The measurement of muscle strength was carried out using SEMG with the MVIC method. The result of the effect test using the paired sample t-test in group 1 obtained p-values of rectus femoris (0.018), vastus medial (0.030), and vastus lateral (0.014). The test of group 2 gained p-values of rectus femoris (0.141), vastus medial (0.034), and vastus lateral (0.04). The result of independent t-test for the different effects of the test obtained p-values of the rectus femoris (0.885), vastus medial (0.211), and vastus lateral (0.404). It concludes that squat training with BFR could significantly increase the strength of the quadriceps muscle group. Meanwhile, the squat exercise without BFR did not significantly increase the strength of the rectus femoris muscle but there was a significant muscle strength on the vastus lateral and medial muscle. There was no significant difference in the effect of squat with BFR and squat without BFR.
Biological control of Monilinia fructicola (G. Winter) Honey using two isolates of Bacillus subtilis on peaches
Authors: Patiño-Pacheco Mónica Jovanna , Fonseca-Carreño Jorge Armando
Published: June 2024

Brown rot of the peach tree caused by Monilinia fructicola affects the genus Prunus in the field, and especially at postharvest, causing losses of up to 60% of the harvested fruits. Brown rot management is currently done using the application of chemical fungicides that generate phytotoxicity in the fruits and contamination in the environment. This increases production costs, demanding the identification of different strategies for disease management. This research aimed to evaluate the biocontrol effects of two isolates of Bacillus subtilis (CB10 and CB11) against M. fructicola using in vitro tests and inoculated fruit versus a chemical control with the dicloran fungicide as a positive control. The inhibition of phytopathogenic growth as well as the severity and rate of inhibition of the M. fucticola were evaluated in dual media. The isolate CB10 in the dual cultures achieved an inhibition rate (biocontrol) of 88.5%, much higher than the other evaluated treatments. In the inoculated fruit this isolate CB10 achieved a rate of inhibition of the pathogen of 95%, higher than other treatments, including the dicloran fungicide. The research allowed us to affirm that B. subtilis CB10 could be used in the biocontrol of M. fructicola for peaches in the management of brown rot disease.

Published: June 2024

The ostracism to which the species was subjected in the last century generated a weak use of genetic variability in the genetic improvement of characteristics of interest. This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters, correlation, and path analysis for 13 agronomic traits, cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content in 10 cannabis genotypes from different departments of Colombia. The study was conducted under greenhouse conditions with a polycarbonate cover and anti-aphid mesh at the La Esperanza farm in Pueblo Bello, Cesar (North Colombia). A randomized complete block design with 10 treatments (genotypes) and three replicates was used. Each experimental unit consisted of 20 plants obtained from mother plants and transplanted at 14 cm between rows and between plants. Significant differences (P≤0.01) were detected between genotypes for all traits and THC and CBD content. Heritability in a broad sense showed values higher than 82% for all the traits studied. Genetic variability between genotypes was detected for number of leaflets, internode length of main stem, length of petiole, central leaflet-length, width of central leaflet, number of stems per plant, CBD, and THC, which allowed obtaining genetic gains higher than 30%. There was a high, inverse, and significant phenotypic and genotypic correlation between the percentage of CBD and THC (r=-0.93**). Overall, width of central leaflet direct and indirect effects explains the association level between CBD and THC with the correlated traits. It is possible to increase CBD and THC by selecting genotypes with higher width of central leaflet.

Authors: Gutiérrez Doris
Published: June 2024

Peperomia subspathulata Yunck is an aromatic plant of the Piperaceae family. This species is native to Colombia and Ecuador. It is used in food preparation for its aroma and has been traditionally used to treat blows and wounds. The present study evaluated the essential oil and the ethanolic extract of aerial parts from P. subspathulata against Aspergillus sp., Botrytis sp., and Penicillium sp. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation, and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry analyzed its composition. The ethanolic extract was obtained by maceration with ethanol 96%. The antifungal activity tests were conducted in a potato dextrose agar medium which different concentration of essential oil and extract were added. The main components identified in the essential oil were safrole (44.3%), α-bisabolol (24.2%), myristicin (4.7%), trans-β-caryophyllene (3.0%), viridiflorene (30%), α-humulene (2.3%), trans-nerolidol (1.5%), linalool (1.1%), methyleugenol (1.1%) and cis-farnesene (1.0%). The total phenolic content of the ethanolic extract was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method (48.5±0.5 mg gallic acid equivalent GAE/g of extract). The ethanolic extract and the essential oil inhibited the growth of microorganisms. The essential oil was the most effective against Botrytis sp. (MIC=500 µg mL-1) and Aspergillus (MIC=1,000 µg mL-1).

Authors: Burgos Navarro María , López Martín María del Mar , Tizón-Escamilla Nicolás , Aguayo Arriagada Carmen Gloria
Published: June 2024

Diversas investigaciones señalan las carencias en el razonamiento probabilístico de futuros docentes y su conexión con un razonamiento proporcional deficiente. Estas limitaciones pueden estar relacionadas además con el grado de algebrización de la actividad matemática implicada. Con la intención de arrojar algo de luz al respecto, en este estudio, se analizan las respuestas de un grupo de maestros en formación a una tarea que requiere determinar la composición de una urna, cuya probabilidad de éxito es igual que en otra en la que se conoce la razón entre casos favorables y desfavorables. Se examinan las estrategias y errores que presentan, centrándonos en los niveles de razonamiento algebraico de sus prácticas matemáticas. Los resultados muestran que los futuros docentes determinaron con éxito la composición de la urna empleando estrategias mayoritariamente de tipo aritmético, y que encontraron dificultades para argumentar sus soluciones. Estas dificultades fueron menores a medida que las soluciones mostraban rasgos de razonamiento proto-algebraico.

The presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antibodies (Ab) is one of the most characteristic signs of tuberculosis. However, the informative value of serodiagnosis is less in children than in adults, in this connection the prognostic value of Ab was determined in children with pulmonary tuberculosis. Eighty-four children with new-onset active pulmonary tuberculosis were followed up. A control group included 25 apparently healthy children from risk groups for tuberculosis. The standard test system EIA-ANTI-TUB® was used to measure the level of Ab. The study was conducted over time: before and 2 and 5 months after initiation of therapy. The sensitivity of the technique was 85.3% and its specificity was 55.1%. The control group showed a direct correlation between the duration and extent of infection and the level of Ab (p < 0.01). The follow-up revealed a correlation between the form of tuberculosis, the severity of its process, and the level of Ab in the children with pulmonary tuberculosis (p < 0.05).

Published: June 2024

We present a historical account of autism in Peru. Currently, the term “autism spectrum conditions”, from the neurodiversity paradigm, is used to describe neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by persistent difficulties in communication, social interaction, and restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests. In Peru, the scientific study of nervous and mental diseases began around 1920 and although the diagnosis of “childhood autism” was proposed in 1959, it only began to spread in the 1980s. Although significant advances were made in the 21st century, Peru still faces many challenges in addressing autism.
Case report: liver failure as a debut of autoimmune hepatitis triggered by dengue virus in a pregnant woman
Authors: Sato-Espinoza Karina , Berrospi Diego , Diaz-Ferrer Javier
Published: June 2024

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a complex condition with unclear origins, involving genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers that lead to immune system dysfunction. We report a case of a pregnant woman from a mosquito-borne disease-endemic area who presented jaundice, abdominal pain, and pruritus, complicated by acute liver failure. Immunological markers showed AIH triggered by dengue virus infection, which was confirmed by a positive IgM test. Treatment with supportive care followed by steroids and azathioprine resulted in favorable outcomes, averting the need for a liver transplant. Although AIH can be triggered by viruses, the role of dengue in its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Regular clinical monitoring is vital for managing AIH, particularly  during pregnancy, due to variable immune status and treatment responses. Further research is necessary to understand the link  between dengue infection and AIH. Individualized treatment strategies are crucial, especially during pregnancy, in order to ensure favorable outcomes.

Published: June 2024

After orthodontic treatment completion, teeth have natural tendency to return to their original position, leading to loss of treatment goals achieved during orthodontic treatment. It is mainly due to stretch of periodontal fibres. So there is need to maintain teeth position into new corrected place. This can be achieved by using certain appliances, called as retainers. Retainers can be either removable or fixed. Removable retainers are those appliances which can be easily removed and placed by patients, and thus helping in complete cleaning of teeth and patient can wear retainer on part time basis. Fixed retainers are fixed to teeth. This article will discuss about various types of retainers used after completion of orthodontic treatment to prevent relapse.
Evaluation of golden proportions among three ethnic groups of Indian females
Authors: Irengbam Devina , Yadav Ashish , Misra Vaibhav , Attri Sonal , Yenaganti Sai Teja
Published: June 2024

The study aimed to assess and compare the presence of golden proportions among three ethnic groups of Indian females: North Indian, North East Indian, and South Indian. Understanding ethnic variations in facial measurements and assessments related to golden proportions has implications for aesthetic treatments and facial reconstruction procedures.

A cross-sectional observational study was conducted, involving 150 Indian females aged 18-35 years from the three ethnic groups. Facial measurements were collected using photographs captured using high-resolution Canon EOS 1500D camera with 18-55mm & 55-250 mm macro lens. Evaluators independently assessed facial photographs based on the golden proportion principle of Ricketts’ Golden Ratio. Statistical analyses, including Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc tests were performed to compare the measurements and assessments among the ethnic groups.

Statistically significant differences in facial measurements and assessments were observed among the North Indian, North East Indian, and South Indian ethnic groups. The TR - ME:LC-ME (Total Facial Height: Length of face between Lateral Canthus of Eyes to Menton) was exactly in relation to the golden proportions in all three groups. The total facial height was thus in golden proportion to the middle and lower facial sections in all three groups. LNr:CHr and TSr:LCr were similar to the golden proportion in North Indian and North East Indian ethnicity, while LNr:CHr was similar to the golden proportion in South Indian ethnicity. Variations in intercanthal distance, interalar width, and philtrum height indicated distinct facial proportions within each ethnic group. The evaluators' assessments of facial proportions also varied significantly among the ethnic groups, highlighting the influence of cultural and societal beauty standards on aesthetic perceptions.

The study findings underscore the importance of considering ethnic variations in golden proportions when planning aesthetic treatments and facial reconstruction procedures for Indian females. Recognizing and appreciating the diversity in facial aesthetics can lead to more personalized and culturally sensitive care, resulting in enhanced patient satisfaction and outcomes. Further research is needed to explore golden proportions in other ethnic groups and their impact on treatment preferences and outcomes.

The Natural head position in orthodontics is a highly precise, reliable, and reproducible external reference position that is used in clinical diagnosis and research.

The physics concept that states that the fluid levels of a liquid's surface is horizontal in a non-accelerating fluid system (hydrostatic). The fluid surface has a tendency to align with gravity at an angle of 90 degrees. The two locations in a fluid level where the fluid, glass, and air converge will naturally aim for the same level similar to gravity. This device was designed to capture the head posture of the patient in its natural state before clinical extra-oral photography and head film exposure.

A simplified fluid-level device in conjunction with a standardized procedure and cephalometric radiography yielded a consistently determined and recorded value. A simple technique for accurately recording NHP and recreating it.

Complexity, Resilience, and Human Resource Management: Illustration from Nordic Higher Education
Authors: Kekäle Jouni , Pinheiro Rómulo
Published: June 2024

We explore increasing complexity, resilience (how a system adapts and responds to increasing complexity and radical change), and potential human resource management (HRM) responses to change in higher education at a Nordic institution. HRM is seen as a shared function. As an empirical illustration, we interviewed nine leading academics in dominant and leading administrative positions in one Nordic university. Responses to a major change (CoARA) were discussed. We analyze the possible HRM responses in the context of major but fuzzy changes: How do leading academics forming the HRM policy perceive expectations of role change and how do the respon- dents demonstrate resilience when interpreting the early signs of a major change? The overall initial reactions to the change (CoARA) were hesitant. We propose the concept of emergent resilience and a model to describe its dynamics. Potential implications for HRM in the face of complexity and change are discussed.
O conceito de Segurança Jurídica problematizado: contribuições da linguística e do anarquismo epistemológico
Authors: Muller Rafael Sarto
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo pretendeu empreender uma análise linguística dos conceitos de Segurança Jurídica, refletindo-os dentro de uma problemática decisória à luz do Anarquismo Epistemológico de Feyerabend. Identificaram-se dois grupos principais de noções para as quais se podem direcionar a opção de conceituação: uma positivista, cujo significado reside na padronização e normatividade da lei; outra neoconstitucionalista ou novo-paradigmática, cujo significado decorre da opção principiológica da confiança no Estado e sua não-perversidade. Trazida para dentro do processo decisório, as contribuições linguísticas apontam para que a interpretação seja feita: a) usando-se da linguagem comum ao máximo que possível; b) descrevendo ao máximo os contextos de produção e veiculação da mensagem; c) sendo redundante, dispondo o mesmo conteúdo da mensagem sob diversas formas. Já pela perspectiva anarcoepistemológica, delineia-se uma nova ética que observa: a) como a Idealista, os valores da proposição de contexto ideal desejado; b) como a realista-consequencialista, as condições e conflitos reais do momento da decisão; c) diferentemente deste última, preocupa-se especialmente com os efeitos sobre a estrutura, metacomunicando-os, e as oportunidades de subverter o status quo, assumindo como externalidade positiva a desestabilização imediata desde que voltada a uma intervenção e mudança em direção ao ideal.
As ocupações de imóveis urbanos abandonados como processo de luta pelo direito humano à moradia
Authors: Paganoto Moura Renata Helena , Coura Alexandre de Castro
Published: June 2024

A presença de imóveis abandonados nos centros urbanos poderia passar despercebida, pois a cidade tem sido cada vez menos vivida pelos seus moradores. No entanto a ocupação de imóveis abandonados desvela um lado da cidade que não queremos ver: da ausência de moradia e desses habitantes sem-teto. O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar como as ocupações de imóveis urbanos abandonados se inserem no processo de luta por direitos humanos. Partindo da perspectiva de direitos humanos de Herrera Flores e David Sanchéz Rúbio, utilizando-se do método dialético, através da técnica documental, o trabalho observa casos concretos divulgados pela mídia e outros julgados pelos tribunais para analisar o significado das ocupações de imóveis urbanos abandonos. O primeiro capítulo insere o direito à moradia como direito humano e fundamental, o segundo capítulo analisa as ocupações de imóveis abandonados e como ocorre esse enfrentamento principalmente nos tribunais, o terceiro capítulo observa a resposta estatal: desocupação e crime. Assim, concluiu-se que a cidade não é o espaço de todos, mas sim o espaço de alguns que podem pagar por ela. Por isso, a necessidade dessa luta contínua para ter reconhecido esse direito.
Audiências de custódia e a gramática da punição: registros da teoria da racionalidade penal moderna na aplicação de medidas cautelares penais
Authors: Klink de Melo Ana Clara
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo, tendo como paradigma teórico a teoria da racionalidade penal moderna, propõe-se a pensar os entraves cognitivos colocados à liberdade provisória em casos que chegam às audiências de custódia brasileiras. Partindo da análise de 144 termos de audiências de custódia, a pesquisa permitiu constatar a reprodução em cadeia das diferentes teorias da pena na fundamentação da prisão preventiva e de outras medidas cautelares penais. Disso, depreende-se que o sistema de ideias que orienta o direito criminal moderno, ao orientar o discurso decisório no momento anterior à sentença condenatória, contribui para a reprodução de uma lógica de sanção antes que haja culpa formada e para a precariedade de medidas cautelares alternativas à prisão.

Constitutional Regulation of Elections: A Comparative Analysis of the Legislator’s Interest Coefficient (on the Example of the Russian Federation and Neighboring Countries)
Authors:   Professor of the Baikal State University, LL.D., Minnikes Irina V.
Published: June 2024

The article deals with the problem of constitutional regulation of elections. Using the example of the analysis of articles of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and constitutions of a number of neighboring countries, the author's methodology for determining the degree of interest of the creators of the constitution in election issues is shown. This technique consists in calculating the coefficient of interest of the legislator (CIL). The coefficient of interest of the legislator means the share of norms regulating elections in the total number of prescriptions contained in the text of the constitution. The article makes calculations on two grounds. The first calculation is made taking into account the total number of articles of each constitution and articles devoted to elections. For the second calculation, not the articles are taken into account, but the parts into which the articles of the constitution are divided. It is established that the share of articles related to elections in the constitutions of the countries of the studied region is on average about 1/10 of the text. The most significant share — 17.31% of articles are articles about elections in the Constitution of Belarus, while in the Constitution of Estonia this share is almost three times less. It is proved that the author's method of determining the coefficient of interest of the legislator can be useful in the context of formal legal and comparative legal analysis of normative legal acts of different scope and orientation.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the constitutional right of citizens to local self-government in the Russian Federation. The authors analyze various approaches of the Russian legislator to the interpretation and content of the concept of local selfgovernment over the past 30 years of the historical development of the state. Special attention is paid in the article to the analysis of the positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on certain issues of the realization of the right of citizens to local self-government. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that the constitutional right of citizens to local selfgovernment has changed significantly since its initial consolidation in the recent period of Russian history, effectively excluding the direct participation of citizens from the direct implementation of local self-government, which undoubtedly indicates a decrease in the level of direct democracy as the substantive basis of the constitutional guarantee of the right of citizens to local self-government in Russia.

It is concluded that the norms of criminal procedural legislation on the moment of completion of the inquiry, the procedure for sending a criminal case to the prosecutor for approval of the indictment (indictment) are not interpreted uniformly. There are different approaches to the implementation of the responsibilities assigned to participants in legal proceedings. It is proved that at present, procedural guarantees to ensure the legality and effectiveness of the inquiry in the general order and in an abbreviated form at the end of the preliminary investigation at the time of sending the criminal case to the prosecutor are not adequately provided. Proposals to solve the problem are formulated.

The necessity of prompt review of sentences decided in accordance with Chapter 40.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation is justified in cases when, based on the results of consideration of a criminal case against accomplices who committed a crime together with a person with whom a pre-trial cooperation agreement was concluded, the court established factual circumstances indicating the existence of grounds for qualifying the actions of these persons as a less serious crime.

Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the study of a number of problems related to the role of the judiciary in the system of means of protecting the rights and freedoms of man and citizen. The author substantiates the point of view that justice differs favorably from other human rights means by being connected by law and law in the substantive and procedural senses, which guarantees the true dominance of legal forms over extra-legal ones. Even if extrajudicial state authorities or local governments exercise their powers in order to realize the legitimate interests of rights holders, such activities should be based on the concept of preventive justice. Any illegal action or inaction of authorized subjects of the state apparatus is under the protective influence of the constitutional institution of subsequent judicial protection, if the right holder considers it necessary to resort to this form when other means have been exhausted.
On Certain Aspects of Protecting Inheritance Rights in Judicial Proceedings
Authors:   Об отдельных аспектах защиты наследственных прав в судебном порядке, Kotlyarova Vera V.
Published: June 2024

This article is devoted to certain aspects of the protection of inheritance rights in courts of general jurisdiction. Currently, the judiciary is considering a large number of inheritance disputes through claims and special proceedings. Their distinction is primarily based on the presence or absence of a legal dispute. An analysis of judicial practice shows that the vast majority of inheritance cases are considered within the framework of claim proceedings, and within the framework of special proceedings, cases of establishing facts of legal significance, cases of notarial acts performed or refusal to perform them, and others are considered. However, in the author’s opinion, cases of challenging notarial acts or refusing to perform them are more likely to be cases of claim proceedings due to the presence of a dispute about the law, two warring parties, etc., and therefore it seems advisable to consider these cases within the framework claim proceedings and their possible exclusion from the categories of cases of special proceedings.

The purpose of the study is to comprehensively analyze the historical and legal features inherent to the establishment and activities of the Sovereign Order of Malta, as well as its legal standing against the background of the transition to a multipolar world. Its jurisdiction and influence on processes in world politics are also of the interest to this study. Methodology: dialectical method, synthesis, historical and legal system analysis, legal formalism. Conclusions. Throughout its history the Sovereign Order of Malta was innovative in many aspects: it developed medical services, built up a regular army, established a naval school, and set pensions for veterans. It was the first to gain international sovereignty. This sovereign power had its own territory, population, government, and army. It had the right to mint coins and maintain diplomatic relations with other states through ambassadors. The fact that states recognize the Order›s existence and its international legal personality at least indicates its viability as an active and important actor of world politics. Scientific and practical significance. The conducted research allows us to study the existing legal norms governing international and domestic activities of the Order, which is a unique actor in international relations, possessing a number of qualifying features as a subject of international law. The present study can be used in the educational process when training professionals in international law.
