Authors: Ota Kazuki , Yoshida Takuya , Furuhashi Yuki , Muratomi Kotaro , Maemura Hirohiko , Tanigawa Satoru
Published: April 2024

The kinematics and kinetics of pelvis are associated with sprint performance. In this study, we aimed to investigate the longitudinal changes in the kinematics and kinetics of the pelvis in response to increasing sprinting velocity. Nine male sprinters performed 60 m regular sprints starting from a crouching start position, once a year. A three-dimensional motion analysis was performed to longitudinally investigate the changes in the pelvic movements and force exertion characteristics during sprinting. Sprinting velocity was significantly higher in the post-test than the pre-test. Step frequency was significantly higher in the post-test than the pre-test. The pelvic anterior/posterior tilt angle at stance leg touch-down, stance leg toe-off, and free leg touch-down were significantly smaller in the post-test than the pre-test. The thigh angle of the stance leg at stance leg toe-off and free leg touch-down were significantly smaller in the post-test than in the pre-test. The integrated contributory component of the lumbosacral joint torsion angular impulse during the stance phase was significantly greater in the post-test than the pre-test. This study provided new insights into the longitudinal evaluation of sprint performance in the transverse plane, focusing on pelvic movement and force exertion characteristics.

Published: April 2024

Injuries in soccer athletes continues to rise and there is a cause for concern. Collegiate athletes have physically demanding workloads and struggle to sleep an adequate amount each night. A potential association is how sleep could play a role in an athletes’ injury. 24 NCAA DI women’s soccer athletes were utilized during the Fall 2019 season. Athletes self-reported their daily hours slept and the athletic trainer tracked and classified athletes’ injury and illness status: no-injury, medical attention injury, or time loss injury. K-mean clustering was utilized to classify the athletes into 3 groups: injury/illness-free group (n=12), mild-to-moderate injury/illness group (n=7), and heavy injury/illness group (n=5). Sleep was statistically significantly lower in the heavy-injury group than other groups and small effect sizes were detected (d31 = .282, p < .001; d32 = .278, p < .001). Based on the data, it appears hours slept plays a factor in female soccer athletes’ risk of injury.

Authors: Andrade José Augusto Zanoni de , Cardin Valéria Silva Galdino
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal abordar a alteração do prenome e gênero no registro civil como uma efetivação dos direitos da personalidade das pessoas transgênero, sem a necessidade de submissão a cirurgia de transgenitalização ou autorização judicial. Para atingir esse propósito, o estudo contextualiza o direito ao nome como uma manifestação dos direitos fundamentais da personalidade e explora a flexibilização da imutabilidade do nome no direito brasileiro. Ainda, destaca o papel exercido pela jurisprudência na concretização da alteração do prenome e gênero sem os requisitos mencionados. Utilizando uma abordagem dedutiva, o estudo se inicia a partir do problema da pesquisa que consiste na alteração do prenome e gênero no registro civil de pessoas transgênero, para utilizar da revisão bibliográfica e o procedimento descritivo estabelecendo conexões entre os direitos da personalidade, a alteração no registro civil e a desnecessidade de intervenção judicial ou procedimento cirúrgico. Conclui-se que a possibilidade de alteração do prenome do gênero no registro civil, sem a exigência de cirurgia de transgenitalização ou intervenção judicial, é um reflexo da evolução do Direito. Os pronunciamentos dos Tribunais desempenham uma relevante função nesse cenário, contribuindo não apenas para a desburocratização dos procedimentos, mas também para a efetivação dos direitos da personalidade, visto que o nome é um dos aspectos mais significativos da identidade de um indivíduo.

Investigation of Dyeing Synthetic Fabrics by Using Bacterial Colorants for More Sustainable Textile Production
Authors: Kıcık Hülya , Gökbulut Çağla
Published: April 2024

Polyester and polyamide fibers are the most commonly used textile fibre globally. For this reason, studies conducted on the production and dyeing of synthetic fabrics, especially polyester fabrics, have a significant environmental impact. In this study, it was aimed to put forward a more sustainable way to dye synthetic fabrics. Even if plant dyes are a good alternative for sustainable dyeing in the absence of synthetic dyestuff, the usage amount of plant dyestuffs is high and consistency is low. Bacterial dyeing can be a good alternative for more sustainable synthetic fabric dyeings due to consistent production and free of petroleum-based dyestuffs. 
Within the scope of this study, 100% polyester and %100 polyamide woven fabric were dyed using 3 different receipts with 3 different bio-colors, the most suitable dyeing methods were determined for both polyester and polyamide fabric. Quality control parameters were checked regarding color depth, washing and rubbing fastness. The findings reveal that polyamide fabrics have higher K/S values compared with polyester fabrics while dyeing with the same receipt and process. pH adjustment and adding salt are necessary to get better results for dyeing pink and brown polyester. Only adding dyestuff to the dyeing bath is enough to dye polyester in blue color. On polyamide fabrics, most suitable dye bath includes salt and pH is 4 to dye pink and brown. But for the blue color, adding salt and adjusting pH to 4 gives better results in polyamide fabric.

Published: April 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: o suicídio tem emergido como um desafio significativo de saúde pública, particularmente entre crianças e jovens no Brasil. De acordo com a OMS, é a terceira causa principal de morte nesse grupo etário no país e a quarta no mundo. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar as causas de óbitos por autoextermínio em Minas Gerais de 2020 a 2023. METODOLOGIA: utilizando dados do DATASUS-SIM, uma pesquisa descritiva foi conduzida, revelando que o suicídio persiste como um sério problema de saúde pública, especialmente entre os jovens, demandando maior atenção e esforços preventivos. RESULTADO: a análise dos dados mostrou que a maioria dos óbitos ocorreu nos meses de janeiro, maio, outubro e novembro, com jovens entre 15 e 24 anos sendo os mais afetados. Belo Horizonte registrou um número considerável de casos, possivelmente relacionado à sua densidade populacional, enquanto Frutal apresentou índices menores, apesar de ser uma cidade menor que Diamantina. Os métodos de autoextermínio mais comuns incluíram enforcamento, lesões de lugares elevados e disparo de armas de fogo. DISCUSSÃO: a análise epidemiológica destacou um pico de autoextermínio no mês de março. Notavelmente, a faixa etária mais afetada foi de 20 a 24 anos, onde os jovens enfrentam conflitos pessoais e pressões sociais. O ano de 2021 registrou um aumento nos suicídios, possivelmente associado à pandemia de COVID-19, que gerou tristeza, isolamento e ansiedade. Belo Horizonte liderou em número de óbitos, seguido por Governador Valadares. Frutal e Diamantina mostraram as menores taxas de mortalidade. A adolescência, fase marcada por dúvidas e pressões, pode levar ao suicídio quando o jovem se sente incapaz de se ajustar aos padrões sociais. CONCLUSÃO: os resultados indicam a urgência de políticas públicas eficazes, acesso a serviços de saúde mental e campanhas de conscientização para lidar com essa questão. É crucial que a sociedade esteja atenta aos sinais de isolamento e sofrimento, oferecendo suporte emocional adequado aos indivíduos vulneráveis.

Context: Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease and also death in the world. Administration of Szeto-Schiller-31 (SS-31) as a potential therapeutic candidate that can decrease the renal function damage progressivity in diabetes needs to be comprehensively analyzed. Aims: To assess the protective effects of SS31 against the progressivity of diabetic nephropathy. Methods: This systematic review follows PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) guidelines 2020. Searches of databases (Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus, ProQuest, and Springer) were done on 17 September 2023 in order to find articles related to the animal diabetic model and SS-31 treatment. Manual searches from medRxiv were also conducted to obtain additional evidence. Renal function, histopathology analysis, reactive oxygen species in vivo, and in vitro analysis were described. Results: There were six in vivo studies, each of which discussed the renal function, histopathology, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and four in vitro studies that discussed ROS. The available data suggested that SS-31 improves kidney function by lowering urinary albumin excretion, proteinuria, serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, and BUN, supported by histopathological improvements. In addition, SS-31 also has the effect of lowering 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) level, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) expression. Conclusions: SS31 had a renoprotective effect that could prevent the worsening of renal function in diabetic mice. In addition, the results of histopathology and ROS analysis also support the positive results of SS-31 treatment. Further studies are required to confirm its findings.

Effect of blending on physicochemical properties of groundnut, palm, and sunflower oil blends
Authors: PREETI BAJPAI  , RENU MOGRA
Published: April 2024

The composition of the diet plays an important role in the management of lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in the blood. Vegetable oil plays a vital role in determining the human health due to its fatty acid composition. High intakes of saturated fatty acids (SFA) increase blood levels of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. On the other hand, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have the opposite effects. According to WHO and other health agencies, nutritionally superior oil must fall in the ratio of 1:1-3:1; SFA, MUFA and PUFA, respectively, however evidences suggest that no single oil can provide the recommended dietary fat ratio. To combat this fatty acid ratio problem, blending of vegetable oils is gaining popularity in the oil industry to satisfy consumer needs. Present investigation was carried out with the objective of evaluating the effect of blending on physicochemical properties of groundnut, palm and sunflower oil blends.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest annual herbs from the Pedaliaceae family. It is considered an essential crop, due to its nutritional properties of edible oil and economic viability. The oil from this seed crop has a high nutritional value such as protein and mineral content as well as an excellent source of antioxidant activity which helps in preventing chronic diseases. Due to increased health awareness, the worldwide sesame market demand is growing across the world. The physical properties of seeds can be useful for storage and processing. This knowledge plays a vital role in the preparation of the processing chain from seed to food. Due to this reason, the present study aimed to investigate the IC50 antioxidant activity as well as physical properties such as 1000 seed weight, seed size, geometric diameter, arithmetic diameter, bulk density, tapped density and porosity of among three selected sesame seed varieties (JCS 1020, Hima and Swetha) released from PJTSAU. Results concluded that the highest IC50 antioxidant activity (5.27 µg/ml) was found in JCS 1020 and Swetha sesame seed varieties. However, there was no significant difference in antioxidant activity, length, width, thickness, tapped density and arithmetic diameter of the selected PJTSAU sesame seed varieties. Among the sesame seed varieties, 1000-seed weight, bulk density and porosity showed significant differences at p<0.05 whereas geometric diameter had a significant difference at p<0.01.

Thirty-three advanced breeding lines of peanut were evaluated during kharif, 2019 using Mahalanobis D2 statistics for 19 characters including physiological, yield and quality traits and were grouped into nine clusters, where cluster IV was the largest containing 11 genotypes followed by cluster III and II with 8 and 7 genotypes respectively. Highest inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster VII and IX (118.10) followed by cluster V and VI (113.29) and cluster V and IX (106.42), respectively. The maximum intra-cluster distance was observed in cluster IV (31.37) followed by cluster III (20.11) and II (13.17). Hundred kernel weight contributed maximum towards genetic divergence followed by sound mature kernel (%), specific leaf area at 45 DAS, oil content and plant height. The crosses viz., TCGS-2141 × TCGS-2117, Narayani × TCGS-1887, Narayani × TCGS-2117, Narayani × TCGS-2111 and TCGS-1887 × TCGS-2141 could be recommended to get desirable transgressive segregants for physiological, yield and quality traits.

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are characterized by the presence of a double bond, three atoms away from the terminal methyl group in their chemical structure. These fatty acids play a crucial role in promoting health benefits. Castor, known for its applications in traditional medicine and as a lubricant, has been historically employed for its pain-relieving properties and enhancement of muscle activity. In the present study the omega-3 fatty acid desaturase FAD7A-1 chloroplastic (P48619, FAD3C_RICCO) gene sequence of castor was obtained from the NCBI data base was analyzed for its diversity, amino acid composition and phylogenetic relatedness with other species harboring the gene. The phylogenetic tree of 13 aligned sequences clustered into two clusters and the amino acids varied between the species evaluated.

Plant protection strategies need an effective alternative mode that reduces chemical load on environment and financial burden on farmers. Mineral nutrition, an integral part of crop production has long since proven to be a promising management strategy. Due to high specificity of host-pathogen-nutrient relationship, precise investigation has to be taken before recommendation. Among the various methods to screen infection frequency and disease tolerance with respect to applied treatments, components of resistance (incubation period, latent period, number of leaf spots, and lesion diameter) studied in hydroponically grown plants under greenhouse conditions are more appropriate than detached leaf assay as disease development of late leaf spot caused by the hemibiotroph., Phaeoisariopsis personata is more akin to the disease development under field conditions. Role of four nutrients i.e., Potassium, Magnesium, Sulphur and Copper deficient conditions as well as supplementation alone and in combination on groundnut late leaf spot disease incidence was compared with fungicidal check (Tebuconazole seed treatment) in terms of components of resistance and anti-oxidant enzyme activities using sand culture. Deficiency of nutrients showed higher disease incidence than control suggesting the role of nutrients in offering resistance to infection. Further it is revealed that CuSO4 and combination of four nutrients were effective in delaying incubation (11.67 days, 12.33days) and latent period (16.67 days, 17.00 days) while MgSO4 followed by combination of four nutrients were effective in reducing lesion number (17.65/leaf, 22.15/leaf) and diameter (0.20 and 0.27 mm) thus lowered AUDPC which showed similar antioxidant enzyme activity as fungicidal check. Nutrient supplementation though inferior to fungicidal check (14 days incubation period, 18.33 dayslatent period, 1.95 lesions/leaf with 0.22mm diameter), wassignificantlysuperior to control (10.33 daysincubation period, 13.67 days latent period, 70.15lesions/leaf with 0.33mm diameter). Hence, application of adequate amount of nutrients improves plants growth as well as resistance to LLS infection.

The present investigation has been conducted to determine genetic variability, heritability, and character association among 38 linseed genotypes for yield and thirteen morphological traits at Bihar Agricultural College Sabour Farm of Bihar Agricultural University Sabour, Bhagalpur (Bihar) during the rabi 2020-21. Thirty-eight genotypes including four checks, namely, Sabour Tisi-1, Sabour Tisi-2, Shekhar and T-397 were evaluated inRBD design with three replications. Analysis of variance for fourteen characters indicated that there was a sufficient amount of variability among the genotypes for all the characters studied. The characters, namely, flowering period, plant height, bud fly infestation, bud blight infestation, number of primary branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, 1000-seed weight and seed yield per plant exhibited high GCV, PCV and high heritability alongwith high genetic advance. A correlation study showed a significant and positive correlation between seed yield per plant and flowering period, flower diameter, number of primary branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, seed length and 1000-seed weight, whereas, days to 50% flowering, days to 50% maturity, plant height and bud fly infestation were found to be a significant and negative correlation with seed yield per plant. However oil content had a non-significant correlation with seed yield per plant but in the positive direction. Path coefficient analysis indicated that the number of capsules per plant exhibited high and positive direct effect on seed yield per plant, while, bud fly infestation showed a moderate and negative direct effect on seed yield per plant.

The major objective of frontline demonstrations (FLDs) is to demonstrate the productivity potential and profitability of improved technologies in farmers' fields. It is based on the principles of learning by doing and seeing is believing. It is assumed that the demonstrations will aid in increasing the adoption of improved technologies by the farmers and result in reducing the yield gaps at field level. The present study was conducted during the year 2021-22 in eight villages of the Prakasam and Raipur districts of Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh states, respectively with the objective to assess the impact of FLDs in terms of adoption of improved technologies by FLD and non-FLD farmers. The data were collected from a total of 160 FLD and non-FLDs farmers cultivating oilseed crops. Adoption index was estimated and it was found that FLD farmers had high adoption index as compared to non-FLD farmers indicating higher adoption levels among FLD farmers.
