Panorama del cine documental a 50 años del golpe de Estado de 1973: dictadura, trauma y memoria colectiva en Chile
Authors: Traverso Antonio J.
Published: May 2024

Transcurridos 50 años desde el golpe de Estado que inició el período de dic-tadura civil-militar en Chile (1973-1990), este artículo propone una mirada panorámi-ca al recorrido del cine documental chileno desde 1973 hasta la actualidad. Por medio de breves acercamientos a una diversa serie de películas, el artículo busca mostrar de manera sintética cómo los documentales chilenos, con todas sus diferencias materiales, estéticas y narrativas, consistente e incesantemente han ensayado variados modos de representación, investigación y narración para confrontar el desastre histórico de esta nación, contribuyendo así a procesos legales, forenses y de memoria pública, e inte-rrogando la problemática relación entre la historia nacional, la memoria colectiva, y el legado traumático, neoliberal y autoritario de la dictadura en la sociedad chilena. Para este efecto, el artículo analiza cómo las películas, durante y después de la dictadura, han empleado técnicas de memoria cinemática como dispositivo formal y narrativo para elaborar los testimonios de los testigos de atrocidades y daños producidos por el Estado, resaltando capacidades resilientes y creativas de individuos, familias y comunidades.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: leukemias are characterized by the infiltration of malignant cells from the hematopoietic system to the bone marrow and other tissues. 95% of childhood leukemias are acute, of which 75% are lymphoid and 25% myeloid. Although the survival rate can reach up to 90% in high-income countries, for middle- and low-income countries it can vary from 20 to 40%, depending on social and clinical factors that are determinant for survival in the pediatric age. Objective: to describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of a retrospective cohort of pediatric patients with leukemia, in a high complexity clinic in Montería-Córdoba. Methodology: Retrospective cohort study of 124 subjects aged 1-18 years. Frequencies were calculated and associated factors were identified using Ji-square in SPSS 27.0. Results: the highest proportion of patients were men (54.8%), aged 1-5 years (38.7%); 83.1% with lymphoblastic leukemia and 14.5% myeloblastic, the majority with affiliation to the subsidized regime. The clinical and genetic characteristics were not associated with sociodemographic variables. Conclusion: The main leukemias were type B ALL, a higher probability of splenomegaly was found in ALL and more advanced risk levels in AML, determining information to optimize care actions for this pathology
Ecology and social behavior of the midday gerbil Meriones meridianus: Insights from long-term research in the wild and seminatural environments
Authors: Gromov Vladimir S.
Published: May 2024

The present review provides a compilation of the published data on the ecology and social behavior of midday gerbils. Both field studies and observations under semi-natural conditions provide evidence that the midday gerbil is a nocturnal, primarily granivorous rodent that lives in highly seasonal habitats. A typical feature of the midday gerbils’ spatial organization is formation of multi-male–multi-female associations (breeding colonies) in which male home ranges overlap each other and with female ranges to a great extent, while females tend to occupy exclusive home ranges. The mating system of this species can be defined as polygynandry or promiscuity; males appear to compete for access to receptive females. The social structure in the midday gerbil is primarily based on aggressive interactions between conspecifics resulting in a dominance hierarchy among males and site-dependent dominance among females, especially during the breeding season. After the cessation of reproduction, a tendency towards more pronounced gregariousness appears, and midday gerbils form wintering groups; gerbils, however, lead solitary lives within these groups. Overall, the data presented expand our understanding of socio-ecology of gerbils.

Published: May 2024

This case article presents the anesthetic management of a patient with complex medical conditions and surgical requirements. The patient had secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure, resulting in hypocalcemia. The patient required a transfemoral amputation due to progressive bacterial infection and global foot gangrene. The urgency of the operation prevented preoperative preparation and necessitated careful consideration of the patient's cardiovascular and respiratory challenges. Due to the patient's facial deformity and limited neck mobility, general anesthesia was not feasible. Instead, a multimodal analgesia approach was adopted, utilizing regional nerve blocks targeting various nerves involved in lower limb innervation. This approach, combined with sedation, provided effective surgical anesthesia.

Authors: Davitashvili Magda  , Zuroshvili Lamara  , Natsvlishvili Nana
Published: May 2024

One of the main tests in selection of therapeutic phages is studing their virulence. Because of high stability of lysogenic status of bacterial culture, as well as ability in some cases of horizontal transfer of prophages and antibiotic resistance factors, existence of the moderate phages in medical preparations may cause negative results. The Serratia phages were studied with two main tests in the present work: sowing effectiveness and range of lysis action, as well as phage reproductive capacity on the host cells irradiated with UV rays. The results obtained showed that sowing effectiveness of studied phages and range of action are quite high. Out of 14 clones of Serratia phages 11 were characterized with reproductive ability on the host strains inactivated by UV rays. The results of above experimental works and other earlier tests allowed us selecting the components of Serratia phages for the medical-preventive preparation.

Acute pancreatitis remains one of the most dangerous pathologies in the structure of emergency abdominal surgery. This is due to many reasons, including an increase in the frequency of destructive forms of the disease, high mortality, and frequent unfavorable outcomes.

   The aim of this study was to investigate a number of leading components of homeostasis in patients with acute pancreatitis of varying severity.

   A retrospective study was conducted on 50 patients with acute pancreatitis of diff erent severity levels who were hospitalized at the Republican Clinical Hospital named after S.V. Katkovа (Saransk, Russia). The patients were divided into groups: the fi rst group (control, n = 30) consisted of patients with mild acute pancreatitis, and the second group (main, n = 20) consisted of patients with severe acute pancreatitis. The study evaluated the endogenous intoxication syndrome, the activity of lipid peroxidation and phospholipase systems, microcirculation status, liver function, and the activity of the coagulation-lytic blood system. The results showed that in the early stages of acute pancreatitis, several pathological processes were observed: the development of endotoxemia syndrome, activation of lipid peroxidation and phospholipase systems, microcirculation disorders, changes in the coagulation and fibrinolytic links of the hemostasis system, and liver function suppression. The severity of these disorders was associated with the severity of the pathology. In cases of mild severity, the changes in the parameters studied were reversible, while in severe cases they were stable and oftenirreversible.

   The presence of toxemia, oxidative stress, dysmicrocirculation, and hemostatic disorders should be considered as risk factors for disease progression and complications.
First experience of distal hybrid surgery on lower limb arteries with port-system installation
Authors: Vaganov A. G. , Nochnoy M. S. , Lisitsky D. A. , Gavrilenko A. V.
Published: May 2024

Cases of occlusive lesions of the arteries of the lower leg occupy a special place in the treatment of critical lower limb ischemia. In this regard, performing open reconstructive interventions is unpromising. A new era in the treatment of occlusions of the arteries of the lower leg has become endovascular surgery. However, due to extensive occlusive lesions of the arteries of the lower leg, direct endovascular revascularization is often impossible. Currently, vascular surgeons adhere to the angiosome principle, according to which the goal of balloon angioplasty is to restore blood supply to the artery supplying the angiosome with purulent-trophic changes. In the clinical example provided, the universality of the angiosome theory is questioned, and clinical success achieved due to the discovery of collateral blood fl ow is demonstrated. The patient underwent surgery with the use of an original hybrid operation technique with the installation of a port system followed by active therapeutic-diagnostic measures on an outpatient basis for 30 days. As a result of the treatment, epithelialization of the trophic defect and cessation of critical ischemic phenomena were noted.

Authors: Zaitsev A. E. , Asanov O. N. , Sandalov E. Zh. , Zaitseva A. V.
Published: May 2024

Chronic wounds are a common surgical pathology. Some types of laser radiation allow for eff ective debridement of wounds and stimulation of healing processes. High-intensity erbium laser can comprehensively aff ect tissues in all phases of the wound process, leading to accelerated healing of chronic wounds.

   The aim of the study was to evaluate the eff ectiveness of using high-intensity erbium laser for treating patients with chronic wounds of various origins compared to traditional treatment.

   Material and methods: An analysis of the treatment of 144 patients with chronic wounds was conducted in two groups. In the 1st group (n = 71), a high-intensity erbium laser and dressings with water-soluble ointments were used. In the 2nd group (n = 73), standard surgical treatment with similar dressings was performed. Results were evaluated using visual assessment of wound defects, planimetry, bacteriological and cytological studies, assessment of procedure tolerability, and pain intensity before and after treatment.

   Results: рatients in the 1st group showed signs of healing signifi cantly earlier and more frequently achieved complete epithelialization of wounds. Laser treatment contributed to more effective decontamination of wound defects, and signs of tissue regeneration were more frequently observed in cytological images. Patients tolerated erbium laser treatment better than surgical treatment, although pain intensity after treatment did not differ between groups.

   Conclusion: The study confi rmed the effectiveness of using high-intensity erbium laser for treating chronic wounds. This method can be recommended for use in surgical practice alongside other technical and pharmacological tools.

Justification. Knowledge of the differences in response to therapy between phenotypes of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is necessary to improve treatment outcomes.

   Objective: to determine the most effective additional pharmacological methods for virus-associated exacerbations of COPD.

   Material and methods. The study included patients hospitalized with exacerbations of COPD with viral (n = 60) and viral-bacterial (n = 60) infections, and a comparison group with exacerbations of COPD with bacterial infection (n = 60). The diagnosis of COPD was based on spirometric criteria, viral infection — according to the results of PCR-RV of sputum for RNA of respiratory viruses. Treatment was carried out in real clinical practice. The groups were comparable in the use of systemic glucocorticoids, short-acting bronchodilators. Dyspnea was assessed using the TDI index (primary endpoint), lung function (spirometry, diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide), exercise tolerance (6-minute walk test), length of hospital stay (secondary endpoints). The сorrelations were determined with the use of Cox proportional hazards model.

   Results. In the groups with virus-associated and viral-bacterial exacerbations, unlike bacterial exacerbations, the following types of treatment were associated with achieving TDI +1 (odds ratio — OR, 95 % confidence interval — CI): fixed triple combination (OR 2.69; 95 % CI 1.48–4.90; p = 0.010 and OR 2.74; 95 % CI 1.29–3.80; p = 0.031), inhalation of 3 % sodium chloride solution (OR 3.64; 95 % CI 1.45–5.42; p = 0.001 and OR 3.23; 95 % CI 2.15–5.43;\ p = 0.042), antiviral drugs (OR 2.91; 95 % CI 1.15–3.62; p = 0.009 and OR 2.76; 95 % CI 1.31–3.90; p = 0.008). As a result of treatment, an increase in DLco/Va, SpO2 after a 6-minute walk, and a decrease in the length of hospital stay were observed.

   Conclusion. Detection of virus-associated infections is a promising marker for determining indications for prescribing long-acting anticholinergic drugs and beta-adrenomimetics, inhaled corticosteroids, inhalations of hypertonic sodium chloride solution, and antiviral drugs for exacerbations of COPD.
Clinical thinking and instrumental diagnostics in the late stage of hypersensitive pneumonitis
Authors: Yakushin S. S.
Published: May 2024

The existing inertia of clinical thinking in establishing a diagnosis, even in the presence of instrumental and valid diagnostic criteria, does not always allow for a reconsideration of the diagnosis given to the patient, especially several years ago. Existing clinical recommendations for certain nosological forms, which currently play a decisive role in diagnostics, treatment, and quality assessment of medical services, may not be fully applicable to all patients with a specifi c disease. As an illustration of the above, a clinical example of a patient diagnosed with “bronchial asthma” about 15 years ago without diagnostic criteria for this condition is provided. Three years ago, on a hospitalization described in the article, a chest computed tomography scan revealed typical signs of diff use pulmonary pneumonia. However, this did not allow for a change in the stereotypical diagnostic view and the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment, including in a specialized pulmonology department. As a result, the disease progressed with the development of complications in the form of severe respiratory and heart failure. Only a reassessment of clinical symptoms, including inspiratory crackles, chest CT scan (diffuse opacity reduction resembling ground glass), and restrictive abnormalities in external respiration function without obstructive components, allowed for a reevaluation of the diagnosis and the prescription of pathogenetic therapy with glucocorticoids in combination with treatment for respiratory and heart failure, leading to rapid clinical improvement.

Kutai Kartanegara Regency has abundant coal reserves but has become an area that leaves many pits without reclamation, leading to casualties. As is the case in Loa Ulung Village, there is a former coal mining pit that has been abandoned by the company since 1994. However, in 2020 this area changed into a tourism function, so a strategy is needed in managing coal mining land into tourism. This research aims to analyze the strategies used in the management of former coal mining land into tourism called Taman Gubang and its relationship with Max Weber's social theory. This study method uses qualitative research with a case study design explaining the phenomenon of a dark former coal mine land into Taman Gubang tourism. The observation results show that there are several strategies in managing mining land into Taman Gubang tourist destination, which are location, attractions, and marketing. Data analysis using Miles and Huberman, consisting of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. This study found that in the strategy of managing former coal mining land into Taman Gubeng tourism, there is a location selection strategy, not all coal mining pits can be used as tourism. The strategy of developing tourism attraction by carrying out the concept of Gubang Dua Lambung and marketing strategy does not only focus on promotion but considers the location of the former coal mine, price, rides, and culinary. In this strategy there are four social actions of Max Weber, which are instrumentally rational actions, the development of Taman Gubang tourism has an impact on improving the economy, opening up jobs, and tourism with local cultural characteristics. Actions on the basis of values based on social values. Affective actions of continuing the local culture of 'Gubang' into a tourism.

Authors: Mulia Fajar Agung , Handayani Wiwandari
Published: May 2024

With urban development and rapid growth, the challenge of land capability to accommodate urbanization is becoming increasingly complex. Therefore, the concept of a "vertical city" has surfaced, indicating the importance of integrating sustainable development with spatial and building height restrictions. This study aimed to analyze the land capability of Bukittinggi City in relation to building height control. The methodology adopted adhered to the Ministry of Public Works Regulation Number 20/PRT/M.200 and relevant literature, using the scoring and overlay method with ArcGIS tools. The analysis results showed that the majority of Bukittinggi's area had a relatively high level of land capability, with a significant portion covering 71.3% of the total territory. Moreover, most buildings adhered to the land capability, even though seven unsuitable buildings were identified. These results served as a crucial basis for making informed decisions regarding land use and fostering sustainable urban development.

3 • Wittgenstein: dal linguaggio come calcolo ai giochi linguistici
Authors: Vagelli Matteo
Published: May 2024

Nel Wittgenstein della ‘fase intermedia’ e nella sua analisi di quello che potremmo chiamare ‘feticismo linguistico’ si ricercano le matrici concettuali della metodologia analitica da applicare allo studio storico dei concetti scientifici. Sulla scorta di queste riflessioni wittgensteiniane, Gargani critica il fondazionalismo e il feticismo epistemologico presenti nella tradizione filosofica occidentale tramite un approccio che combina analisi storica e filosofica con un'attenzione alla pratica linguistica e alle forme di vita.

Published: May 2024

With the opening of the files for the period of the pontificate of Pius XII in March 2020, it is now possible to shed light on the background that prompted the Holy Office in 1937 not to index Karrer's book "Der Unsterblichkeitsglaube" (1936), even though, according to Bishop Laurenz Vincenz of Chur, it was considered "ripe for the Index" in Rome. The situation was different in 1942, when Karrer's book "Gebet, Vorsehung, Wunder. Ein Gespräch" was placed on the index of banned books immediately after its publication. The background to the Holy Office's different approach is still largely unknown.
Calculation of the parameters of an axial flux motor as an actuator of automotive systems
Authors: Nechaus Andrii
Published: May 2024

Problem. Axial flux electric motors offer several significant advantages compared to electric motors of traditional design. Currently, scientific periodicals contain numerous publications regarding the development and use of axial flux electric motors with printed windings across various fields. These include applications such as HDD-drives in computer technology, fans and pumps of various capacities, propulsion systems for bicycles and motorcycles, including in-wheel motors, manipulator drives for machine tools and industrial robots, and even within space technologies. Research confirms the high efficiency and size-to-weight ratios of axial flux motors when modern technologies are employed. However, there is little information available regarding the application of such motors in automotive electromechanical equipment. A distinctive feature of automotive electrical systems is their predominantly 12 V onboard power supply, along with high demands on size-to-weight ratios and reliability in conditions of elevated vibrations and wide temperature ranges. In this context, the development of an axial flux motor for automotive applications becomes relevant, particularly as an actuating mechanism for auxiliary systems such as window lifters, windshield wipers, air conditioning, and cooling fans, etc. Goal. The goal of the article is to determine the feasibility of using an axial flux electric motor as an actuator for automotive auxiliary systems by comparing its calculated parameters with the parameters of motors of traditional design using modern technologies and materials. Methodology. The methods and algorithms used for the calculation of electric machines take into account the characteristics and physical processes specific to axial flux machines with printed windings and permanent magnet arrays. Results. A comparison of the obtained characteristics of the designed motor with the characteristics of a modern prototype of traditional design was conducted. Based on the comparison, it was determined that the designed motor has better size-to-weight ratios while maintaining energy performance. Consequently, a conclusion was drawn about the feasibility of using electric motors with axial flux as actuators for automotive auxiliary systems. Originality. The prototype of the designed motor is considered to be a 250 W DC motor with a supply voltage of 12 V. The imposed constraint on the external diameter of the designed motor is set to 100 mm. Practical value. At the same output power and nearly identical torque, the calculated motor exhibits higher size-to-weight ratios. The weight of the calculated motor is 46% of the weight of the prototype. With an external diameter 54% larger than the prototype, the axial length of the calculated motor is 73% smaller. The mass of the calculated motor is 2.34 times smaller than the mass of the prototype.

Technological progress is increasing rapidly, and keeping up is particularly challenging for older adults. Thus, adapting technological innovations to human needs has become urgent. The first step toward this aim is to understand how people conceptualize technology. Here, we asked 54 younger and 54 older adults to perform a Go/No-Go, a rating, and a feature generation task to investigate the processing and representation of Technological concepts (e.g., “Internet”) compared to Abstract (e.g., “logic”) and Concrete concepts (e.g., “bottle”). Younger adults showed an elaboration advantage for Technological upon Abstract and Concrete concepts. Technological concepts exhibited a hybrid character, but in older adults, they had a more abstract characterization. Finally, the semantic knowledge associated with Technology was differently organized in content across generations and less structurally robust in older adults. Overall, our results highlight how concepts flexibly change across life and can help societal policies to increase awareness in technology-use across generations.

The importance of temporal aspects in data analysis and visualization is paramount across various disciplines. Due to the unique characteristics of time, multi-scale temporal analysis, comparisons over different periods, and the examination of variable correlations pose particular challenges for visualization methods. Currently, existing grammars for data visualization cannot model advanced time characteristics adequately. To fill this gap, we present a novel time-based visualization grammar. Our contribution is twofold: Firstly, we introduce a comprehensive grammar designed for time-based visualization, providing a versatile toolkit for a wide range of analytical needs and user preferences. Secondly, we implement this grammar in time-i-gram.

Research on emotion regulation (ER) has shifted from focusing on the static to the flexible use of ER strategies in response to environmental demands, emphasizing the importance of strategy-situation fit. Despite the growing theoretical popularity and importance of this concept, empirical evidence remains scarce. To address this gap, we examined the role of negative affect in moderating ER effectiveness because research suggests that as negative affect increases, people tend to prefer distraction over reappraisal. We re-analyzed twelve ambulatory assessment datasets (1,511 participants with 161,513 measurement occasions) collected from predominantly Caucasian undergraduate psychology students. Using meta-analytic techniques, we did not find any evidence for strategy-situation fit, i.e., choosing distraction in high-intensity situations and reappraisal in low-intensity situations, was not significantly associated with positive affect, negative affect, or depressive symptoms. Given these null results, we discuss current problems with how strategy-situation fit is currently operationalized to advance research on this important topic.
Cognitive Science and the Myth of the Normal Human
Authors: Prather Richard
Published: May 2024

Within cognitive science, research on human cognition relies on the idea of a normative human; that we can study and generalize from normal humans to understand human cognition. This assumption is the only way that using convenience samples to describe cognitive universals makes sense. Cognitive Science is not alone in falling for the idea of a normative person; other social sciences and medical research have sometimes featured this idea. The idea that Cognitive Science research should or could describe normative human cognition is a misleading waste of time for the field. I draw on work from a wide range of fields, including psychology, medicine, disability studies, and biology, to contend that the idea of normative human cognition is mostly useless but not mostly harmless. Rejection of the idea of normative human cognition and reevaluating past work that relies on it is an important step forward for the field.

Inovasi yang dilakukan dalam pendidikan menjadi fokus utama dalam menghadapi perkembangan teknologi dan kebutuhan pembelajaran yang selalu berubah-ubah sesuai dengan tuntutan kurikulum. Artikel ini mengulas konsep inovasi sebagai proses berpikir menemukan gagasan ataupun ide dan imajinasi untuk menciptakan hal baru. Dalam pendidikan, inovasi didefinisikan sebagai solusi untuk mengatasi masalah-masalah yang muncul, terutama dalam memastikan efektivitas pada pembelajaran. Peran guru sebagai inovator memegang peranan penting dalam menghadapi tantangan teknologi, meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa, mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis, dan memfasilitasi kolaborasi dan kreativitas. Inovasi pendidikan melalui teknologi informasi, seperti penggunaan media pembelajaran dan e-learning maupun media lainnya, menjadi kunci dalam memperbaiki kualitas dan mutu pada pembelajaran, terutama di era pembelajaran digital yang sekarang bisa mendapatkan informasi maupun pengetahuan di internet kapanpun di manapun untuk mengaksesnya, akan tetapi hal tersebut juga memiliki dampak buruk karena tidak semua informasi yang ada di internet itu valid dan juga membuat kurangnya minat penasaran siswa untuk mengetahui hal-hal lebih mendalam. Dengan memanfaatkan inovasi, guru memastikan pembelajaran yang lebih efektif dan sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman.
A Comparative Analysis of English Language Education in Nepalese and Finnish Basic Education Curricula
Authors: Adhikari Bala Ram
Published: May 2024

This article explored the objectives, contents, and pedagogical approaches in English language education examining the Finnish and Nepalese basic education curricula. The study aimed to reveal the similarities and differences between two countries’ English language curricula and to find out why a big difference occurs between Finland’s and Nepal’s English proficiency levels. Data were collected from Finland’s and Nepal’s English language curricula for basic education and the official documents such as acts, decrees, and laws on basic education were also examined to support the data from the curricula. Data were analyzed with the method of thematic document analysis. Overall, the results of the comparative study indicate that both Finland and Nepal aim to increase linguistic and cultural awareness and teach English language for communicative competence. Both countries also would like to encourage pupils to track their English language learning. On the other hand, while the Finnish curriculum offers general guidelines for the instruction of the English language giving flexibility and autonomy to schools, the Nepalese curriculum prevents schools from preparing a flexible plan for English language teaching according to the needs of pupils by offering specific content and testing techniques. The findings reveal that the Finnish curriculum presents guidelines for teachers, students, and local education providers on how to reach educational goals rather than giving specific content for the subjects giving flexibility and autonomy to schools. On the other hand, the Nepalese curriculum provides specific instructions and suggestions for the application of English language teaching with detailed content containing units for each grade and even suggested testing techniques for teachers.
Corrosion Inhibition Performance of Euphorbia pulcherrima Bark Extract in 1M H2SO4 on Mild Steel

The bark of the attractive flower Euphorbia pulcherrima (Lalupate), which is widely accessible in Nepal, can be used to extract an alkaloid that acts as a corrosion inhibitor. The methanolic extract of Euphorbia pulcherrima (EP) in 1M H2SO4 was employed to study corrosion inhibition of mild steel (MS) by weight loss and potentiodynamic technique. The immersion time and EP extract concentration consequences on corrosion inhibition were explored. The weight loss of MS is significantly reduced in the presence of EP inhibitors caused by the adsorption of inhibitor molecules. The findings exhibited that the increasing immersion time and EP concentration resulted in an increment in inhibition efficiency (IE). The maximal IE from the weight loss method was determined to be 90.38% for 1000 ppm extract immersed for 6 hours at room temperature and 86.36% IE was obtained for 1000 ppm concentration of the EP extract after 1hr of immersion by potentiodynamic polarization. The open circuit potential (OCP) of the MS in the inhibitor solution confirmed the EP extract behaving as a mixed inhibitor. The current density decreased with the addition of the EP, which reflected the inhibitive nature of inhibitor molecules. Similarly, the corrosion current density decreased as the EP extract concentration increased. Hence, it implied that the bark extract of EP is a potent inhibitor of MS corrosion, even after just one hour of immersion. Because of the reduction of hydrogen ions and the adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the MS surface, EP extract is effective in inhibiting corrosion current on the cathodic and anodic polarization curves, forming a barrier that stops the evolution of hydrogen gas and metal dissolution. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis showed the presence of N-H and C=O functional groups in the EP attributed to the adsorption on MS and consequently reducing the dissolution of MS.
