Authors: Rota Alesson Ramon , Detoni Piero
Published: September 2024

O artigo discute contribuições para a operação historiográfica a partir da aproximação da história com a computação. Utilizamos como caso um problema de história intelectual, que envolve compreender a recepção de Nietzsche no Brasil. A digitalização de acervos históricos é examinada, assim como o impacto dessas tecnologias no acesso e na pesquisa histórica, incorporando métodos como mineração de dados e processamento de linguagem natural. O estudo destaca como a história digital pode alterar a pesquisa histórica, explorando padrões e contextos em torno de Nietzsche através de um levantamento de acervos digitais, demonstrando uma abordagem que equilibra métodos quantitativos e qualitativos. Na primeira parte do texto apresentamos um sistema de filtros como instrumento heurístico. Na segunda analisamos os recortes produzidos através do sistema de filtros. Por último, procuramos analisar como um determinado autor, José Oiticica, concebeu Nietzsche ao longo da vida.

Buffalo is the most neglected species of large ruminant, despite contributing to safe and sustainable milk and meat production in Bangladesh. A survey was conducted at five unions of Shahjadpur upazilla under Sirajganj district which is called the milk pocket area in Bangladesh. The objective of the survey was to find out the socio-economic condition of buffalo farmers in these areas. Prior to conducting the survey work from February to June 2024, a questionnaire was designed and pre-tested. SPSS software was used to statistically analyse the collected data. The results revealed that the majority (84%) of buffalo farmers were male and mostly (72%) practised by middle-aged (30-45 years). The education level of farmers had no schooling (12%), primary (50%), secondary (22%), higher secondary (16%) and graduation (0%), respectively. In the survey area, a majority (76%) of the farmers reared young male (1.5 to 2 years) buffalo for fattening. Additionally, 72% of farmers raised buffaloes with intensive systems and the remaining 28% with semi-intensive. The involvement of respondents in farming, business and others were 84, 8% and 8% respectively. Most (60%) of the farmers dewormed their buffalo regularly but only 28% practised regular vaccination. The main factors limiting buffalo production in the study locations were the high price of concentrate feed (88%), lack of pond for wallowing (70%), lack of improved dairy buffalo breeds (60%), lack of green fodder (30%), unavailability of bank loan (18%) and training facility (24%). The net income from fattening one buffalo per half yearly was BDT 26713. It indicates that rearing buffaloes for fattening purposes in the selected areas was profitable.

Empowering Diagnostic Labs in Oncology: Benchmarking Biomarker-Driven Therapies
Authors: Yeh Chen
Published: September 2024

In the past decade, oncology care has witnessed a transformative shift, significantly propelled by the growing field of precision medicine. This revolution has been catalyzed by a deeper understanding of cancer’s underlying biological drivers, unveiling new avenues to combat this multifaceted disease. For instance, the identification and targeting of the EGFR mutations have paved the way for personalized therapies in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Traditionally, diagnostic labs played a more reserved, albeit crucial, role in the healthcare continuum, primarily focusing on providing diagnostic services. However, as further insights into cancer’s molecular intricacies emerge, biomarkers have become central to the endeavor of tailoring treatments to individual patients’ genetic and molecular profiles. This rising significance of biomarkers has recalibrated the role of and expectations from diagnostic labs, ushering them into a more proactive and collaborative role in oncology care. The shift from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more personalized, biomarker-driven therapeutic strategy in oncology has shown promise in enhancing treatment outcomes for patients and streamlining the drug development and approval processes for pharmaceutical industry. As biomarker knowledge expands, the traditional diagnostic lab has transitioned from a vendor of testing services to a strategic partner in drug development and clinical implementation.

Published: September 2024

Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a associação entre resistência à insulina e biomarcadores de danos oxidativos em militares do Exército Brasileiro. Método: Estudo transversal com 74 militares do sexo masculino, idade 49,8 ± 1,2 anos, praticantes de exercício físico com regularidade (ao menos três vezes por semana). A amostra sanguínea (soro) foi obtida em jejum de 12 h para análise dos seguintes biomarcadores de danos oxidativos: peroxidação lipídica (PL), proteína carbonilada (PC), grupamentos sulfidrilas (GS) totais e atividade antioxidante total (AAT) pela varredura de radicais livres DPPH•. Os biomarcadores clínicos de resistência à insulina analisados foram: insulina (INSU), HOMA-IR e HOMA-BETA. Os dados apresentaram distribuição normal pelo teste de Shapiro-Wilk. Na estatística descritiva, foi utilizada média e desvio padrão e, na inferencial, teste de correlação de Pearson. O nível de significância adotado foi p ≤ 0,05. Não foram observadas associações significativas entre os biomarcadores estudados PL versus INSU (r: -0,16; p = 0,181), HOMA-IR (r: -0,13; p = 0,285) e HOMA-BETA (r: -0,19; p = 0,099); PC versus INSU (r: 0,07; p = 0,559), HOMA-IR (r: 0,05; p = 0,658) e HOMA-BETA (r: 0,11; p = 0,334); GS totais versus INSU (r: -0,01; p = 0,992), HOMA-IR (r: -0,01; p = 0,983) e HOMA-BETA (r: -0,18; p = 0,130); AAT versus INSU (r: 0,06; p = 0,581), HOMA-IR (r: 0,07; p = 0,550) e HOMA-BETA (r: 0,03; p = 0,801). Conclusão: Não foi observada associação entre a resistência à insulina e os biomarcadores de danos oxidativos. Portanto, sugere-se que, como a prática de atividade física regular modula o sistema de defesa antioxidante, isso protegeu o organismo contra o ataque das espécies reativas de oxigênio.

Published: September 2024

Justicia secunda Vahl (Acanthaceae) is a tropical herbaceous plant traditionally used by indigenous peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to treat symptoms associated with sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic condition with life-threatening complications. Given the lack of side-effect-free drugs, alternative herbal therapies that can reduce or reverse red blood cell sickling may serve as safe and effective treatments. The primary objective of this study is to conduct a phytochemical screening of crude flavonoids extracted from J. secunda using LC-ESI/MS/MS. J. secunda extracts were evaluated for their phytoconstituents and anti-sickling properties. The anti-sickling properties were assessed through reverse sickling estimation, polymerization and oxidation inhibition, and osmotic fragility assays. Fractionation of the methanol extract and chemical profiling were performed by flash chromatography and high-performance thin-layer chromatography analysis respectively. Characterization and identification of the crude flavonoids were done using chromatography and spectroscopy methods. Chemical screening of crude flavonoids revealed the presence of 12 flavonoid O-glycosides based on one flavonol (methoxy-kaempferol) and two flavones (luteolin and apigenin). The crude flavonoid extracts demonstrated maximum reversal of sickled red blood cells (91.9 ± 0.8%), significant inhibition of hemoglobin polymerization (77.8 ± 7.6%) and hemoglobin S auto-oxidation (96.3 ± 0.2), and provided maximum protection of red blood cells against hyperhemolysis. The results validate the traditional use of J. secunda and identify potential compounds for the development of novel anti-sickling agents.

Published: September 2024

In India, maternal and infant malnutrition continues to be a significant contributor to health problems. Fetal malnutrition can result from an inadequate nutrient supply, necessary nutrition services, and ideal practices before, during, and following pregnancy. This comprehensive review delves into the complex relationships among hormone changes, microbial ecosystems, and nutrition, and how these relationships affect the health of mothers and their offspring. The review highlights how important it is to maintain good nutrition during pregnancy and to comprehend the dietary modifications that pregnant people make on their own to create interventions that work. Important minerals like calcium, iron, folic acid, iodine, and vitamin D are covered. Acknowledging the mutualistic association between the eating habits of mothers and the diverse microbiomes found in their gut, vagina, and oral channels, the review explores the influence on hormone levels and their consequences during gestation. Diverse fetal developmental needs are depicted by the table that outlines food requirements for each of the three trimesters. The detrimental effects of poor prenatal nutrition on a mother's health and its repercussions for neonates are examined. The effects of malnutrition after delivery, including difficulties throughout pregnancy, healing periods, and general effects on mental and physical health, are well studied. The study, which adopts a worldwide viewpoint, finds that societal norms, information gaps, and poverty are the main causes of malnutrition. Prevention techniques are discussed, emphasizing the significance of taking a comprehensive approach to addressing this vital issue in both the Indian and global contexts.

Authors: Marina Chavenetidou , Tsioras Petros , Karaszewski Zbigniew
Published: September 2024

Anatomical features of wood cells and their size variations are key elements of wood identification. This research focuses on the microscopic differentiation between four Quercus species, two Red Oaks (Q. cerris and Q. rubra) and two White Oaks (Q. alba and Q. petraea). More specifically, it studies the variation of vessels width in earlywood and latewood. The results showed that in earlywood, Q. rubra exhibited the widest vessels (332.27 ± 65.21 μm), followed by Q. cerris (300.27 ± 57.62 μm), Q. petraea (286.09 ± 58.83 μm), and Q. alba (200.82 ± 43.50 μm), in descending order of size. Conversely, in latewood, Q. cerris displayed the largest vessels (83.89 ± 20.31 μm), with Q. rubra following closely (74.05 ± 20.31 μm). Q. petraea (35.34 ± 6.11 μm) and Q. alba (26.70 μm) maintained their order, appearing a consistent pattern between the wood growth phases. The variability in vessel dimensions was also supported by statistical differences among most species combinations both in earlywood and latewood. The investigation of certain vessel traits may serve as a valuable component of studies related to wood properties and species adaptability in the context of climate change.

Authors: Chao-Hsi Huang , Ping-Han Cheng , Tsung-Shun Hsieh , Kuo-En Chang
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the study is to explore how the promotion of news media literacy positively affects media criticism as well as the control and judgment of self-behavior. Potter developed the Chinese News Media Literacy Scale (NMLS), based on his theoretical framework of media literacy cognition. Potter is an outstanding scholar in media literacy. Senior high school students in Taiwan validated the NMLS for reliability and validity. The NMLS consists of 45 questions covering four topics: intellectual skills, personal locus, media knowledge structure, and news context reading. The Chinese version of the NMLS demonstrated good reliability, considerable validity, appropriate discrimination, and an appropriate level of difficulty, making it suitable for Taiwanese students. Female respondents exhibited higher news media literacy than their male counterparts. Public senior high school students showed higher news media literacy compared to those from private schools. The time spent reading news positively correlates with improvements in news media literacy. The findings indicate that news media literacy education significantly enhances students' critical understanding of news and media literacy skills, with varying effects across different genders and types of schools. The limitation of the study is that the sample mainly comes from Taiwan, which may not fully represent other cultural contexts. The findings can guide educational policy in schools, particularly in designing and implementing news media education curricula, taking into account the differences in gender and school types. This research expands the literature on news media literacy, especially in terms of scale development and its application to a specific cultural context like Taiwan, and introduces new insights into the impact of gender and school type on media literacy.

Introducción. Al igual que esta investigación, la gran mayoría de los estudios en el área han demostrado, que el desconocimiento que tienen los patronos y trabajadores informales del sector agrícola sobre los principales riesgos laborales se debe a la inexistencia de una vinculación laboral legalmente constituida. Los procesos productivos sostenibles mejoran con buenas prácticas de salud ocupacional. Objetivo. Caracterizar los principales riesgos laborales en los trabajadores informales del sector agrícola de Tubará Atlántico. Metodología. La investigación es de tipo cuantitativa, descriptiva, de corte transversal, mediante el uso de las encuestas del cuestionario Nórdico, cuestionario de exposición de agentes químicos 10 INSST y cuestionario riesgo biológico; para una muestra representativa de 63 trabajadores informales. Resultados. Se encontró que no existe legalidad contractual en el 97% de la población encuestada, lo cual indica que no existe un vínculo formal con el patrono; más del 95% de negatividad para la exposición a riesgos biológicos, muy deficiente para la exposición a los riesgos químicos y con identificación de dos trabajadores con molestias osteomusculares en los riesgos biomecánicos.  Conclusiones. Se comprueba que la exposición de los trabajadores se debe a la informalidad laboral, la ausencia de implementación de medidas de prevención y control, se mejoran con buenas prácticas de salud ocupacional.

Authors: Pereira Analice , Hoffmann Nora Katia Saavedra del Aguila
Published: September 2024

Este estudo realizou uma revisão sistemática e um levantamento quantitativo de artigos científicos sobre o tratamento de efluentes agroindustriais, focando nos processos aeróbios e anaeróbios. Foi realizada a busca na plataforma de base de dados usando as seguintes palavras chaves: efluentes agroindustriais, tratamento anaeróbio e tratamento aeróbio. Para levantamento dos dados foram utilizadas as bases de dados Scielo e Capes. Os efluentes agroindustriais são caracterizados por sua complexidade e variabilidade química, podendo conter substâncias tóxicas, nutrientes em excesso, sólidos suspensos, óleos, gorduras, produtos químicos de limpeza e, em alguns casos, patógenos. Os processos de tratamento de efluentes agroindustriais combinam métodos físicos, químicos e biológicos para remover esses poluentes. Os processos de tratamento biológico, que podem ser aeróbios ou anaeróbios, são amplamente utilizados no Brasil devido à alta carga orgânica dos efluentes e às condições climáticas favoráveis. No tratamento anaeróbio, a degradação da matéria orgânica ocorre na ausência de oxigênio, produzindo biogás como subproduto. Este estudo identificou que os reatores anaeróbios UASB e reator anaeróbio em bateladas foram os mais mencionados na literatura. Em contrapartida, o tratamento aeróbio envolve a presença de oxigênio de forma mecânica e é eficiente na remoção de matéria orgânica e nutrientes, apesar de seu alto consumo de energia e produção de lodo. Ambos os métodos têm suas vantagens e desvantagens, sendo a escolha do processo dependente das características específicas do efluente e das condições locais. O estudo destacou a importância de um monitoramento cuidadoso para garantir a eficácia dos tratamentos e a conformidade com as regulamentações ambientais.

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different bonding techniques using a universal adhesive system in class V cavities, in conjunction with a Bulk Fill composite resin. A total of sixty class V cavities were prepared and divided into three groups based on the adhesive technique: Conventional (CV), Selective Enamel Etching (CSE), and No Acid Etching (SCA). The cavities were then restored using a Bulk Fill composite resin. Half of the specimens were stored at 37ºC for 24 hours, while the other half were immersed in an ethanol/water solution for 30 days. Following each storage period, the teeth were sealed with two layers of red enamel, leaving a 1 mm margin around the restorations unsealed, and then immersed in a 0.05% basic fuchsin solution for 24 hours. The teeth were subsequently sectioned longitudinally and analyzed for the degree of microleakage by three calibrated evaluators. Data analysis was performed using the Jamovi 2.2.5 software, applying the Kruskal-Wallis test with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. The results indicated no significant differences in microleakage among the different groups. The study concludes that the choice of adhesive technique, whether evaluated at 24 hours or 30 days, does not significantly impact the degree of marginal microleakage in class V cavities restored with Bulk Fill composite resin. The use of different adhesive techniques, in the periods of 24h and 30 days, does not interfere with the degree of marginal microleakage.
The Effectiveness of Online vs. Traditional STEM Education Methods for Preschool Children Aged 5-6 years in China
Authors: Feng Yan
Published: September 2024

This study explores the effectiveness of online vs. traditional STEM education methods for preschool children aged 5-6 years in China. Through qualitative interviews with educators, this study compares how these methods affect children's engagement and learning outcomes. The findings suggest that traditional hands-on approaches are more effective in engaging younger learners due to the importance of sensory and social experiences in early cognitive development. While online platforms offer personalized learning, they often struggle to maintain long-term engagement. The study highlights the need for a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of traditional and digital methods to optimize STEM education. In addition, the study explores the challenges of the digital divide and the importance of equitable access to technology. These insights provide practical recommendations for improving early STEM education practices and guiding future policy decisions.
Teacher Development Dilemma and Solution Ideas in Contemporary Chinese Rural Small-Scale Schools
Authors: Wang Zhuo
Published: September 2024

Small rural schools are an important part of compulsory education and an inevitable form of rural education development. As urbanization accelerates, the movement of rural students to urban schools has led to a drastic reduction in the number and size of rural schools and a serious loss of quality teachers. Currently, rural teachers in China are facing problems such as disconnected interpersonal networks, weakened discourse power, and limited professional development. In order to promote the development of rural education, it is necessary to prioritize the professional development of teachers in small-scale rural schools, innovate the rural teacher training model, focus on the training of native and generalist teachers, and establish inter-school teaching and research teams to achieve the sharing of educational resources. Simultaneously, it is crucial to pay attention to the spiritual needs of rural teachers, enhance the professional identity of young teachers in small-scale rural schools, raise their comprehensive treatment level and reduce the burden of non-teaching tasks, so as to promote the professional development of teachers in small-scale rural schools.
Exploration of Strategies for Applying Life Based Teaching in High School Political Courses
Authors: Chu Danqiong , Li Chengxue
Published: September 2024

Since the promulgation and implementation of the "General High School Ideological and Political Curriculum Standards" (2017 edition, revised in 2020) (hereinafter referred to as the "Curriculum Standards"), the combination of education and life has become one of the requirements of the curriculum standards. Life oriented teaching has been increasingly valued, promoting the concept of teaching from life to life, which is conducive to students mastering real ideological and political knowledge and establishing the concept of applying what they have learned. Therefore, it is necessary and feasible to use life oriented teaching in high school politics classes.  Exploring life oriented teaching strategies for high school political courses can start from four aspects: updating teachers' educational concepts, using life oriented case materials, creating activity-based classrooms with a life oriented atmosphere, and pursuing life oriented teaching evaluations. This will promote students' comprehensive development and individual socialization, and strengthen their correct understanding of the importance of high school political courses.

New evidence for a biostratigraphic assessment of the limestone succession comprising K‐bentonite levels exposed in the Yılanlı Formation of the Istanbul-Zonguldak Terrane are provided from conodonts at the Gavurpınarı quarry in Bartın area (NW Turkey). The succession depicts a shallow marine, nearshore facies setting that comprises rare and low diversity conodont associations mainly exemplified by the species of Ctenopolygnathus, Icriodus and Polygnathus. Conodont faunas from the lower part of the section are of late Frasnian age, including the taxa Icriodus subterminus Youngquist, 1947, Polygnathus aff. xylus Stauffer, 1940, Icriodus iowaensis iowaensis Youngquist & Peterson, 1947 and Ctenopolygnathus brevilaminus Branson & Mehl, 1934, and the upper part is assigned to early Famennian marked by the first appearance of Icriodus cornutus Sannemann, 1955. The local biostratigraphic framework of the Yılanlı Formation is correlated with the upper Frasnian Lower rhenana to the lower Famennian Middle triangularis standard conodont zonations. Considering the described species, the Frasnian-Famennian boundary corresponds to a slight change in conodont fauna and is assigned within the local Icriodus iowaensis iowaensis Zone. Accordingly, the novel K-bentonite age data potentially indicates the evidence for the Kellwasser events in northern Turkey, improving paleogeographic correlations of the Istanbul-Zonguldak Terrane with other terranes in Laurasia and Peri-Gondwana.
