O que os indicadores socioeconômicos IDHM e IPC nos revelam em distintas realidades urbanas: São Paulo (SP) e Fortaleza (CE)
Authors: Adão Nilton Manoel Lacerda , Souza Edson Belo Clemente
Published: March 2021

This paper aims to analyze the possibilities and limitations of using synthetic indicators using two globally applied systems as a reference, the Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI) and the City Prosperity Index-CPI. Therefore, aims to analyze two different urban realities: São Paulo (SP) and Fortaleza (CE), based on two indexes: The Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI) of the United Nations Program (PNUD) and the City Prosperity Index (CPI) started in 2012 by the United Nations Program for Human Settlements (ONU-Habitat). The MHDI is based on indicators in three dimensions: longevity, education, and family income, while the CPI measures the characteristics of the municipalities in terms of productivity, infrastructure, inclusion and social equity, quality of life, environmental sustainability, and governance and legislation. Comparative analysis of the results of indicators that reveal the limitations and potentials considered for the construction of improved systems indicators. It is noticed, from the analyzed properties, factors that go beyond the character of the indicator must be considered. Efficiency in the collection, acceptance of the target audience, and qualitative analysis must be considered in use for the adequate measurement of the actions developed in the municipal public management and for the understanding of the appropriate and social changes in the cities.

Philosophical And Methodological Aspects Of The Scientific Picture Of The World And The Humanization Of Science
Authors: Izzetova Emine Mustafaevna , Li Yekaterina Vladimirovna
Published: March 2021

In the modern intellectual question analysis of the humanitarian fields of scientific knowledge is indicated as an important philosophical problem. The fundamental intentions of the cultural development of the 21st century intersect at this point: on the one hand, there is an awareness of the loss of spirituality, and on the other, the indication of science as the highest human value. Science, entering into the mysteries of space, living matter and the human body, creates rise to acute social, ideological, methodological and humanistic problems concerning the individual and social aspects of man. The large amounts of scientific knowledge development should be combined with humanistic ideals, otherwise it is sure to give rise to further discord to the human condition and the world of culture. Next natural question arises in the problem of humanizing science context: "What should be the peak of scientific knowledge in order to avoid further mismatch between man and nature, society, science and humanitarian ideals?" As a result, the task arose to supplement the analysis of scientific aspects of cognition with an analysis of its synergetic, existential, axiological components. It is necessary to consider cognition not only as discovering the objective truth apart from man or from mankind, and also as part of the human-species, containing valuables that act to determine the human genuineness. With this in view, we will consider how the ideal of science is changing, leading from principle ontology when the most significant value for the cognizing subject is the world in itself, to taking into account the subjective conditions under which principles of new knowledge are gained. The evolution of the paradigm of science and the scientific picture of the world is shown. This evolution goes through three stages: classical, non-classical and post-non-classical.

Published: March 2021

"Coronavirus" is the word that absolutely isn't forgotten by everybody who lives in the first half of the twenty-first century. COVID19, as a pandemic, has driven numerous researchers from various biomedical fields to discover arrangements or therapies to deal with the pandemic. Nonetheless, no standard treatment for this infection has been found to date. Presumably, preventing the acute severe respiratory   infection type of COVID-19 as the most risky period of this disease can be useful for the therapy and decrease of the death rate. In such manner, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-based immunomodulation treatment has been proposed as a reasonable restorative methodology and a several clinical studies have started. Recently, MSCs as indicated by their immunomodulatory and regenerative properties stand out in clinical trials. After the intravenous transplantation of MSCs, a large population of cells gathers in the lung, which they close by immunomodulatory impact could protect alveolar epithelial cells, recover the respiratory microenvironment, prevent pneumonic fibrosis, and cure lung dysfunction. Given the vulnerabilities here, we checked on detailed clinical preliminaries and theories to give helpful data to scientists and those keen on stem cell therapy.In this study, we considered this new way to deal with improve patient's immunological reactions to COVID-19 utilizing MSCs and talked about the parts of this proposed treatment. Nonetheless, right now, there are no affirmed MSC-based methodologies for the anticipation or potentially treatment of COVID-19 patients however clinical preliminaries progressing.

A fraction of individuals belonging to these generations is current foreign medical students, where medicine is known to be one of the stressful courses one can study. When this extreme stress is meet with genetic predisposition, nutritional deficiencies, internal diseases, and inappropriate hair care practices hair loss can be quite aggressive. An online survey consisting of 15 questions was conducted to find if these factors contribute to foreign medical students experiencing hair loss at a very young age and if the current chaotic environment of the covid-19 pandemic has accelerated hair loss.  81.7 %( n=156) foreign medical students belonging to ages 17 to 25 years started to experience hair loss (p= 0.0127), where stress (54.5 %( n=85)), nutritional deficiencies and internal conditions (37.5 %( n=58)) have been responded to be contributing factors for their condition. Interestingly, 54.5 %( n=85) students are experiencing hair loss after moving to Georgia (p=0.04). Despite all the acknowledgment of cause for their conditions, 92.3 %( n=144) of foreign medical students have responded to not undergo any treatments to manage and control hair loss. Additionally, 33.3 %( n=52) of students stated that they have noticed more progression in hair loss during this pandemic. If these students continue to ignore undergoing treatments then they might experience more progression in hair loss.

Paradigma Pentingnya Pengajaran Doktrin Sebagai Bagian dari Total Quality Management dan Adaptasi Gereja
Authors: Purba Eduward
Published: March 2021

The church has not implemented many quality management (TQM) in its institutions because it is considered that this is only for companies that aim to profit. Whereas profit is not TQM orientation but customer satisfaction. The importance of TQM is due to the rapidly changing world and the presence of competitors from both similar and different institutions. One of the products offered by the church is teaching-based, especially the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. This is rarely done by the church, it can be seen from the absence of writings that discuss the doctrine of doctrine as part of church quality management and as an adaptation of the church in dealing with competitors. The approach used in this paper is a qualitative grounded research method; the reason is, that there has not been found a paper that presents the teaching of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith as part of the implementation of TQM in the Church. The results found that teaching the basic doctrines of the Christian faith has made the Church in general able to survive for thousands of years in the midst of various teaching attacks from both internal and external to the Church. The conclusion is that the teaching of the doctrine of the Christian faith is the main product of the Church in satisfying the congregation to ensure that the congregation remains part of the holy community, namely the Church, as well as being an important part of showing the quality of the Church.AbstrakGereja belum banyak yang menerapkan majemen mutu (TQM) di dalam lembaganya karena dianggap hal tersebut hanya untuk perusahaan yang bertujuan profit. Padahal profit bukan orien-tasi TQM tetapi kepuasaan pelanggan. Pentingnya TQM dikarenakan dunia yang cepat berubah dan hadirnya kompetitor baik dari lembaga sejenis maupun yang berbeda. Salah satu produk yang ditawarkan gereja adalah berbasis pengajaran, khususnya doktrin dasar iman Kristen. Hal ini jarang dilakukan gereja, terlihat dari belum adanya tulisan yang mengangkat bahasan peng-ajaran doktrin merupakan bagian dari manajemen mutu gereja serta sebagai adaptasi gereja dalam menghadapi kompetitor. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah kualitatif dengan metode grounded research; alasannya, karena belum ditemukan sebuah tulisan yang menyajikan pengajaran doktrin dasar iman Kristen merupakan bagian dari implementasi TQM di dalam Gereja. Hasil yang ditemukan bahwa, pengajaran doktrin dasar iman Kristen telah membuat Gereja secara umum dapat bertahan selama ribuan tahun di tengah berbagai serangan pengajaran baik dari internal dan eksternal Gereja. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh adalah, pengajaran doktrin iman Kristen merupakan produk yang utama dari Gereja dalam memuaskan jemaat untuk menjamin jemaat tetap menjadi bagian dari persekutuan kudus yaitu Gereja, selain juga merupakan bagian penting untuk menujukkan kualitas Gereja itu.

Published: March 2021

This paper examines the organization of Christian education by the Theological College in the context of the fulfillment of human rights in the field of education. The writing of this paper uses qualitative discription methods and literature studies. In the context of human rights, the right to education is categorized as a positive right (positive right) because to realize these rights, it really requires an active role of the state so that the formulation of the right to education uses the term right to (right to) meaning that every citizen has the right to proper education as a basic human right that must be protected and fulfilled by the state with the aim that humans are protected their dignity, welfare and continuity of life. Having the opportunity to attend Christian education is a basic right of every Indonesian citizen who is a Christian who must be protected, guaranteed and fulfilled by the state. In the end all Christian citizens have the same opportunity to enjoy Christian higher education as a national education sub-system without discrimination.

Abstrak

Makalah ini mengkaji mengenai penyelenggaraan pendidikan kristen oleh Sekolah Tinggi Theologi dalam konteks pemenuhan hak asasi manusia (HAM) di bidang pendidikan. Penulisan makalah ini menggunakan metode qualitative discription dan studi literatur. Dalam konteks HAM, hak atas pendidikan dikategorikan sebagai hak positif (positive right) karena untuk merealisasikan hak-hak tersebut, sangat membutuhkan peran aktif negara sehingga rumusan hak atas pendidikan menggunakan istilah right to (berhak atas) artinya setiap warga negara berhak atas pendidikan yang layak sebagai hak dasar manusia yang harus dilindungi dan dipenuhi oleh negara dengan tujuan agar manusia terlindungi martabat, kesejahteraannya dan kelanjutan kehidupannya. Memperoleh kesempatan untuk mengikuti pendidikan kristen adalah hak dasar setiap warga negara Indonesia yang beragama kristen yang wajib dilindungi, dijamin dan dipenuhi oleh negara. Pada akhirnya semua warga negara Kristen memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk menikmati pendidikan tinggi kristen sebagai sub sistem pendidikan nasional tanpa diskriminasi.

Published: March 2021

In recent time, the impact of macro-economic variables on agriculture has become an issue of concern in terms of securing adequate food supply for the populace. This study evaluated the implications of macro-economic variables for national food security in Nigeria. This study made use of time series data sourced from the publications of Central Bank of Nigeria Annual Reports, Statistical Bulletins and the National Bureau of Statistics spanning from 1995 to 2015. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) co-integration test with Error Correction Model (ECM) was adopted to substantiate the implications of these macro-economic variables. The results of the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test showed that Food security, Interest rate, Exchange rate, Net export and Government expenditures were non stationary at their respective level forms and became stationary at first difference. While Inflation and Money supply were found to be stationary at level form. ARDL bounds test for co-integration confirms the existence of long run relationship between the variables. The results of long run and short run relationships shows that Interest rate, Inflation, Government expenditures and Money supply were both significant at 5% and 1% levels indicating that these variables had a significant impact on food security. The estimated error correction coefficient of -0.7996 is highly significant, has the correct sign, and implies a fairly high speed of adjustment to equilibrium after a shock. However, these findings recommend farmers in Nigeria to take good advantage of the linkages between macroeconomic variables and agricultural productivity, as this useful information can assist them to boost their land productivity, hence increased food security at all times.

HAEMATOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS INFECTED WITH PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA AND ADMINISTERED BDELLOVIBRIO BACTERIOVORUS (ATCC™ 1534) AS THERAPY
Authors: Sar T. T. , Umeh U. E. , Amali O.
Published: March 2021

The effects on haematological parameters of Sprague-Dawley rats infected (challenged) by the injection of pathogenic Pasteurella multocida and the administration of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (ATCC™ 1534) as therapy, occasioned by the consideration of its use as an alternative to antibiotics, due to the high rate of bacterial resistance to current clinically used antibiotics was investigated. A total of 60 rats, divided into 5 groups (4 experimental groups and 1 control group) of 12 rats each were used in this study. The first group of 12 rats were injected subcutaneously with one millilitre of 1 x 108/ml B. bacteriovorus (ATCC™ 1534). The second group of 12 rats were injected with one millilitre 108/ml of P. multocida in saline. One millilitre each of 108/ml of both P. multocida and B. bacteriovorus (ATCC™ 1534) were injected into another set of 12 rats in the third group. The third group of 12 rats were injected once intra-muscularly, in the hind flank muscle, with 2 mg/kg of Ketamine Hydrochloride. And lastly, one set of 12 rats were not injected with any bacteria served as control. In all cases, observed haematological data were analysed from the experimental rats after 168 hours (except rats which were injected with 2mg/kg ketamine hydrochloride, used as anaesthetic, (at sacrifice), and compared with the haematological profiles of the 12 control rats. Results shows a reduction of mortality from 9 to 1 (88.8%) of rats challenged with P. multocida over those inoculated with B. bacteriovorus and P. multocida was observed. WBC counts were higher (4.12 x 103/µL) in B. bacteriovorus and P. multocida over WBC counts in control rats which served as WBC reference values. Though, not statistically significant (ANOVA = p >0.05). In a similar comparison, RBC counts (6.5 x 103/µL) were lower than observed in control rats, while platelet counts (1138 x 103/µL) were higher than values in controls, however, this was statistically significant. Moreover, haemoglobin concentrations were lower (11.7 g/dL) than in control rats. Though there were slight variations in haematological profiles from reference values, it was concluded that B. bacteriovorus seems to have no life-threatening effect on haematology of rats. However, evaluations such as observed platelet increases on inoculations of B. bacteriovorus, need to be addressed before the promise of its in vivo use in controlling Gram-negative infection in animals and humans can be tapped.

ACUTE TOXICITY OF WATER SOLUBLE, INSOLUBLE AND WHOLE CRUDE FRACTIONS (BONNY LIGHT) ON THE EARLY LIFE STAGES OF HOPLOBATRACHUS OCCIPITALIS (CROWNED BULL FROG) IN CALABAR, NIGERIA
Authors: Mowang A. D , Naku U. J. , Ndome B. C. , Ayim M. E.
Published: March 2021

This study examined the effect of different concentrations of bonny light crude oil on the development and growth of the tadpoles of the crowned bullfrogs. After series of range finding tests (RFT) the tadpoles of H. occipitalis were exposed to acute and sub-lethal log concentrations of 0.00 ppm, 1.00 ppm, 1.30 ppm, 1.48 ppm, 1.60 ppm, 1.65 ppm and1.69 ppm of different fractions of bonny light crude for 96 hours. The various fractions of crude recorded no significant differences in mortalities (P > 0.05) for three- and four-weeks old tadpoles. The mortalities increased with increase in concentration of toxicants. The tadpoles recorded 75% mortalities in Water Soluble Fraction (WSF), 65 % mortalities in Water Insoluble Fraction (WIF) and 70 % and 75 % mortalities respectively in Whole Crude (WC). The WSF of crude showed the lowest LC50’s in the tadpoles ranging from 1.51 ± 0.17 ppm with (lower limit 1.45 and upper limit 1.55) to 1.61 ± 0.37 ppm with (lower limit 1.58 and upper limit 1.65). WIF showed the highest LC50’s in the tadpoles ranging from 1.62 ± 0.42 with (lower limit 1.59 and upper limit 1.66) to 1.69 ± 0.41ppm with (lower limit 1.55 and upper limit 1.62). The WC showed an LC50’s range of 1.60 ± 0.37 ppm with (lower limit 1.56 and upper limit 1.64) to 1.63 ± 0.32 ppm with (lower limit 1.59 and upper limit 1.66). Results shows that increased toxicity produced higher mortalities in tadpoles of H. occipitalis (an endangered species). This study therefore advocates that Oil companies should adhere to the current WHO / FEPA regulatory limits of 0.2 mg/l to 14.0 mg/l for C5 – C22 hydrocarbons to ensure the survival of its vital ecological niche.

Authors: Musa A.
Published: March 2021

This study investigated the level of awareness of sex education among secondary school adolescents in Niger state, to assess the level of the already initiated comprehensive sex education program by the federal ministry of health. The study utilizes an empirical survey design. In order to obtain data for the research, stratified random and judgmental sampling technique were adopted. The instrument used to elicit information from the respondents was a well-structured questionnaire. Result from the study shows that it is important to impact knowledge about sex and sexuality to adolescents. As, many of the respondents show positive attitude towards sex education (65%), they knew its effectiveness (54%) and consequence of risk behaviors (86%) but lacked appropriate knowledge (42%). Based on these findings, it is therefore imperative that adolescents need more sex education at all levels with full parental participation.

AN ASSESSMENT OF THE FAILURE OF FLAME RETARDANT BASED COMPOSITE LAMINATES UNDER MECHANICAL LOADING
Authors: Suoware T. O. , Edelugo S. O , Amgbari C. O. , Sorgbara F. L.
Published: March 2021

Composite laminates have distinct interface comprising reinforcements from both synthetic or natural sources and polymers which make them favourable in the world of composites due to the intrinsic benefits they possess. Composite laminates from natural sources have shown to be highly susceptible to flame and have been improved by the addition of flame retardants (FR) during processing. The effect of the FR on the mechanical behaviour of these composite laminates is quite unclear and has not been given the in-depth attention. In this paper, the effect of FR of two set of composite laminates on mechanical failure was assessed. The two set of composite laminates comprising oil palm fibre composite (OPFC) and wood sawdust composite (WSC) were processed with polyester resin and six (6) FR using hand-lay compression moulding. The FRs were derived from aluminium tri-hydroxide (ATH), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), gum Arabic powder (GAP) and carbon black (CB) at 12%, 15% and 18% loading ratios. Specimen cut from the composite laminates were tested for failure under tensile and flexural loading using the universal testing machine (UTM). The results obtained shows that the addition of 15%APP-GAP/CB in WSC and 12%APP-GAP in WSC exhibited an outstanding performance in improving tensile and flexural strength of the composite laminates by 154% (from 9.67MPa to 24.56MPa) and 103.4% (from 42.14MPa to 85.7MPa) respectively compared to those without FR while the FR in OPFC did not show any significant improvements. It can be concluded that FR with particulate reinforcement could improve the mechanical behaviour of composite laminates as a suitable reinforcement.

Política da reclusão
Authors: Costa Carlos Eduardo
Published: March 2021

Este texto debaterá a “reclusão pubertária” masculina no Alto Xingu. A relação entre a fabricação dos corpos dos lutadores e a política alto-xinguana demonstrará como os jovens chefes são preparados para serem campeões de luta no egitsü, pois um campeão é, potencialmente, um chefe. O egitsü, ritual pós-funerário em homenagem aos chefes falecidos, é o momento de maior visibilidade no sistema, e a luta que o encerra, sua principal atração. Em oposição ao destaque dos lutadores nos rituais interétnicos encontra-se a reclusão como período de isolamento do neófito, processo dialético entre exibição pública de performances e confinamento doméstico para produção. Através da fabricação do corpo sairemos das noções patológicas, que pautaram os estudos sobre a reclusão, para associá-la a outras questões, das disputas políticas às relações cosmológicas, da noção de homenagem a de substituição, da sincronia à diacronia, passando pela proposta de entender essa preparação também por seu lado técnico e esportivo.
Cuidados, bem-estar animal e técnicas de enriquecimento
Authors: Silva Matheus Henrique Pereira da
Published: March 2021

A partir de uma etnografia realizada no Parque Zoobotânico do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi acerca das relações entre humanos e animais, problematizo o manejo e as práticas conservacionistas dos profissionais da fauna (biólogos, médicos veterinários e tratadores) em relação à coleção natural do local. Dessa maneira, abordo a rotina de cuidados realizados nos “bastidores” do zoológico – as distintas instalações relacionadas ao manejo das espécies –, bem como as técnicas de enriquecimento alimentar e ambiental que são realizadas com o intuito de propiciar o bem-estar dos animais, que estão sujeitos a frequentes estresses e outros problemas. Com isso, pontuo a emergência de um conjunto de práticas, técnicas e conceitos heterogêneos intrinsecamente relacionados à conservação da biodiversidade em meio urbano no zoo.
“Ninguém vem ao mundo a passeio”

Published: March 2021

Através de material coletado durante pesquisa etnográfica em dois terreiros de “umbanda traçada” no Rio de Janeiro dirigidos por mulheres, esse artigo analisa as atribuições de mães de santo explorando as interseções entre dom, iniciação e poder de cura. O estatuto conferido ao corpo e às sensibilidades revelaram-se fundamentais na conformação dos sinais diacríticos do dom para o sacerdócio, apresentando-se sob dois planos distintos e correlatos: a) na experiência subjetiva do chamado espiritual; b) no reconhecimento social das potencialidades e habilidades necessárias à missão de mediar as forças sagradas. Os dados trazidos à luz sugerem que a noção de “cuidado” - associada à “caridade” e envolvendo a corporalidade e a sensorialidade - ocupa lugar central nesse universo religioso, pois permite articular os dois planos mencionados, fazendo com que o “cuidar” de si e o “cuidar” da divindade sejam elementos constitutivos de uma mesma missão.
Escalas e comparações

Trata-se de uma descrição etnográfica que tem como aspecto central a relação entre burocracia e ciência nas práticas de biólogos que produzem pesquisa científica e estudos para etapas de Licenciamento Ambiental no Mato Grosso. O arranjo textual usa relatos de campo e uma prática de interlocutores, a comparação, como metáfora para a descrição etnográfica; mobiliza também relatos etnográficos em laboratórios, congressos acadêmicos, coleções zoológicas e em campo. Entre biólogos, ciência e burocracia aparecem ora como práticas duais e opostas, ora como em intensa interação. Compõe essa aparente contradição a relação de biólogos com outros pesquisadores, bem como com empresas de consultoria ambiental e com órgãos de auditoria do governo. Seguir as práticas que produzem o meio biótico no licenciamento explicita uma narrativa cujo argumento central é que os Estudos de Impacto podem ser usados como estratégias de conhecer áreas e espécies.
Corpos e belezas trans invadem a cidade
Authors: Tranquilin-Silva Josefina de Fatima
Published: March 2021

Em 2018, durante a “1ª Marcha da Visibilidade Trans de Sorocaba”, do alto do trio elétrico observei aqueles corpos trans, em alegria contagiante, e me perguntei: o que está acontecendo aqui? Passei, então, de ativista de gênero e apoiadora da Marcha para também pesquisadora. Assim surgiu a ideia deste artigo, que objetiva refletir sobre o trânsito dos “corpos inconformes” (v. 2015) durante as duas edições da Marcha Trans, em Sorocaba. Efetivamos a etnografia por meio da apropriação dos conceitos de “cartografias físicas” e “cartografias simbólicas” (Silva 2001). Certamente, Sorocaba tornou-se “outro corpo”, um corpo cidade que, por meio das marchas, desterritorializa os territórios, construindo outras corpografias urbanas.
agroecologia entre a técnica e a ética
Authors: Sousa Vitória de Fátima dos Santos , Teixeira Jorge Luan
Published: March 2021

Discutimos neste artigo conhecimentos e técnicas de cultivo agroecológicos de trabalhadoras rurais no Assentamento Santa Madalena, em Tianguá (CE). Como a mudança para o assentamento ocorreu recentemente (em 2015), a lembrança do trabalho na ‘terra dos patrões’ é uma poderosa imagem que as agricultoras contrapõem à liberdade do trabalho para si. Partimos das perspectivas das mulheres sobre suas trajetórias e trabalho, o que oferece um olhar alternativo e etnograficamente informado à literatura clássica sobre o trabalho feminino no campo. Percebemos que a passagem da ‘agricultura convencional’ para a agroecologia leva a novas formas de compor cotidianamente o mundo e de cuidar dele. Ao passo que a prática agroecológica requer uma mudança das técnicas de cultivo da terra, enquanto projeto ético ela também implica novas formas de cultivar relações com uma diversidade de seres vivos, coisas, companheiras de trabalho e consigo mesmas.
Übergängliche Natur. Kant, Herder, Goethe und die Gegenwart des Klimas
Authors: Hamel Hanna
Published: March 2021

Während alle vom Klima sprechen, scheint mit dem Anbruch des Anthropozäns die Zeit der Natur passé. Doch ohne den Begriff der Natur wäre ein Großteil der modernen Philosophie nicht zu denken. Hanna Hamel vermittelt in ihrer Studie zwischen historischen Positionen des späten 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhunderts und ökologischen Theorien der Gegenwart. Ihre Lektüre ausgewählter Texte von Kant, Herder und Goethe entwickelt Grundzüge eines historisch-theoretischen Selbstverständnisses, das über die bloße Abgrenzung von „modernen“ Naturkonzepten hinausführt. In der Konfrontation mit aktuellen Reflexionen von Bruno Latour, Timothy Morton und David Lynch wird ein Anliegen erkennbar, das alle Positionen verbindet. Mit Goethe lässt es sich als Darstellung und Theoretisierung „übergänglicher“ Natur bezeichnen. Die historischen Texte werden zu einer kritischen Ressource für die Gegenwart.

Published: March 2021

Nickel based bimetallic nanocrystals, iridium-nickel play an imperative role in catalysis, electrocatalysis, and magnetic applications. In the present work Ir-Ni bimetallic nanoalloys were synthesized by modified polyol reduction method with different cationic, anionic, and non-ionic surface active agents like CTAB, SDS, TSC, and PVP. The non-ionic surface active agent PVP produced a better effect on nanoparticle size than cationic and anionic surfactants. The synthesized bimetallic nanocrystals were characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, FESEM, and HRTEM techniques. XRD and FTIR verify the nature of synthesized bimetallic nanocrystals and the interaction between stabilizers and nanoparticles. HRTEM studies reveal that the PVP stabilized Ir-Ni (3:1) and Ir-Ni (1:1) bimetallic nanocrystals are small in size and less dispersed. Particle size range of these nanoparticles is from (1.77-2.36) nm. FESEM images show that nanoparticles are in quasi spherical shape. EDX analysis indicates that the resultant particles are core shell structure with Ni core and Ir shell.
Greener and efficient one-pot synthesis of novel multi-substituted 3-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-indole derivatives by using recyclable catalyst under microwave irradiation
Authors: Nirwan Narendra , Pareek Chandresh
Published: March 2021

The novel class of multi-substituted indolylimidazole derivatives series substituted 3-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-indole and substituted 5-bromo-3-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-indole was synthesized utilising a green and efficient one-pot four components condensation of indole-3-carbaldehyde, benzil, ammonium acetate and various amines under microwave irradiation using Amberlyst A-15 as a recyclable catalyst. The catalyst Amberlyst A-15 has recovered from the reaction mixture and reused repeatedly for the next reaction. The key advantage of this process involves eco-friendly, very short reaction time, cost-effectiveness with the reusability of catalyst, easy workup, and purification of the product with excellent yields. FTIR, 1HNMR and Mass spectrometric studies analyzed and established the structures of all newly synthesized compounds.

A COVID-19 é uma doença infecciosa que surgiu em Wuhan, na China e se alastrou, virando uma pandemia. Para evitar a disseminação do vírus e achatar a curva epidêmica vários países adotaram medidas de isolamento social, porém, essas medidas trazem impactos na rotina e na saúde mental dos idosos. Objetivo: Investigar os impactos do isolamento social para a população idosa devido a Pandemia do novo - COVID-19. Métodos: Revisão integrativa, realizada BVS e Pubmed por meio dos descritores “Social isolation” AND “Elderly” AND “Covid-19”. Os critérios de inclusão: textos (artigos) completos grátis, publicados no período de 2019 a 2020, em português, inglês e espanhol e que abordem os impactos do isolamento social em idosos na pandemia do Covid-19. E, como critérios de exclusão: textos incompletos, livros, capítulos de livros, artigos publicados anteriores do período de 2019 e outros idiomas. Resultados: Foram encontrados 243 artigos, sendo 40 pré-selecionados, 8 duplicados e 11 selecionados. Destacam-se entre os estudos analisados os impactos no comportamento nutricional (Ganho de peso), mudança no estado civil, ansiedade, depressão, desmotivação, estresse, síndrome do pânico, insônia, preocupação financeira, podendo culminar no suicídio, e ainda, agravos de patologias pré-existentes assim como outros sintomas de sofrimento psíquico. Conclusão: É possível compreender que o isolamento social, apesar de necessário neste período de pandemia do COVID-19, traz efeitos prejudiciais à saúde física e mental de idosos que podem perdurar após esse período ainda indeterminado. Logo, as políticas de enfrentamento do Covid-19 devem se atentar na restauração da funcionalidade e do bem-estar dos idosos.

Introdução: No fim de 2019, uma doença causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2 proliferou-se pelo mundo, afetando especialmente os idosos. No Brasil, o primeiro caso foi confirmado em 26 de fevereiro de 2020, chegando ao Estado do Amapá em 20 de março. Objetivo: Analisar a taxa de mortalidade em idosos com COVID-19 e principais comorbidades associadas, no período de abril a junho de 2020. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico, descritivo, retrospectivo, a partir da análise estatística dos boletins epidemiológicos sobre COVID-19 da Superintendência de Vigilância em Saúde do Amapá (https://svs.portal.ap.gov.br/publicacoes), lançados entre abril e junho de 2020, observando-se faixa etária dos óbitos e comorbidades relacionadas. Resultados: Observou-se, no período analisado, o registro de 405 óbitos por COVID-19 no Estado do Amapá. Destes, 249 (61,48%) ocorreram em idosos, sendo 98 (39,35%) pertencentes à faixa etária de 70 a 79 anos. Em relação às comorbidades, 79,91% dos idosos que faleceram por COVID-19 nesse período tinham um ou mais fatores de risco. Hipertensão arterial (43,71%), diabetes (30,15%), doença renal (7,53%) e cardiopatias (6,03%) foram as principais doenças crônicas associadas ao óbito. Conclusão: Evidencia-se que a população idosa apresenta maior taxa de mortalidade, devido às comorbidades relativamente comuns associadas à idade, notadamente na faixa de 70 a 79 anos. Hipertensão arterial e diabetes foram os principais fatores de risco, correspondendo a 73,86% dos óbitos. Considerando maior vulnerabilidade à doença dessa população, o sistema de saúde deve garantir o cuidado e a assistência dos pacientes idosos acometidos pela COVID-19, provendo maior atenção aos portadores de patologias crônicas.
