Relatos de peritonite traumática devido a corpos perfurocortantes ingeridos acidentalmente pelas vacas é algo comum na criação de bovinos, principalmente aqueles que tem acesso a pasto. Em sua maioria, a primeira região a ser afetada é o retículo, não coincidentemente a primeira cavidade do estômago dos poligástricos, onde o corpo estranho que chega com o bolo alimentar se aloja e realiza a lesão. Nesse relato o objeto de perfuração que causou grave peritonite e levou o animal a eutanásia não foi encontrado no retículo e sim no abomaso, último compartimento do estômago das vacas, algo totalmente incomum e até o momento não localizado na literatura.

Authors: Serrano Katerine Acevedo , Durán Yurley Paola Villabona , Delgado Karina Angelica Ojeda , Correa Ciro Eduardo Rozo
Published: April 2024

Facing the challenges of environmental sustainability and energy security caused by anthropogenic carbon emissions, there is a need to adopt cleaner energy generation technologies, leveraging Colombia's existing national resources. In this context, hydrogen emerges as a promising source of renewable energy. Therefore, this project explores the use of a blend of residual lignocellulosic biomass as raw material for hydrogen production through gasification for energy purposes. Initially, a screening of residual lignocellulosic biomass in the study region was conducted, a blend was selected, and a simulation of the synthesis gas production process was carried out prospectively using Aspen Plus Dynamics® software. The results revealed that, by using the selected biomass blend, a synthesis gas with a hydrogen molar fraction of 38.7% and an ER of 0.19 was obtained. According to sensitivity analyses, the optimal parameters identified to achieve this hydrogen concentration were: gasification temperature of 707°C, oxygen flows of 484 kg/h, steam at 420 kg/h, and gasification pressure of 1 atm. These findings support the potential of the studied lignocellulosic biomass blend as an alternative for hydrogen production, while also offering an opportunity for the valorization of lignocellulosic residual biomass.

O abate humanitário é definido como o conjunto dos procedimentos técnicos e científicos realizados para garantir o bem-estar dos animais, desde o embarque na propriedade rural até a realização da sangria no matadouro. Nesse sentido, este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar as práticas de manejo conduzidas até o abate de bovinos em um frigorífico situado na Regional Purus (Acre). Metodologicamente, foram acompanhados os procedimentos concernentes ao pré-abate e abate de 88 animais, através da aferição diária do atendimento às adequações com a utilização de fichas (check-lists), contendo perguntas baseadas na Instrução Normativa nº 03/2000 e nas concepções sobre o bem-estar animal. Após análise das respostas das fichas, foram constatadas algumas irregularidades, dentre as quais, superlotação durante o transporte, abatimento sem espera do tempo mínimo recomentado para descanso dos animais, mistura de diferentes raças, idades, sexo e origem no curral, dentre outras. Os resultados sublinham a necessidade de se garantir a conformidade das regulamentações, sobretudo no que diz respeito as condutas empresariais, incluindo desde treinamentos periódicos dos colaboradores para conscientização e até mesmo a intensificação da fiscalização. O abate humanitário apenas será possível quando todos os agentes envolvidos na cadeia produtiva estiverem com condutas alinhadas ao bem-estar dos animais, e para isso há necessidade de ampla divulgação de conhecimento e o cumprimento das regulações estabelecidas pelas legislações atuais.
Security Aspects of Improvised Explosive Devices. The Ukrainian Case Study
Authors: Piela Grzegorz , Kowalkowski Stanisław , Całkowski Tomasz , Wojcieszyńska Patrycja
Published: April 2024

Though Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are commonly attributed to attacks carried out by terrorists in the Middle East, IEDs were also used in the Ukrainian conflict and extremely limited research touches upon the issue. There is a hypothesis that IED events were not mainly focused on killing but rather on striking terror and sowing chaos among the local populace to persuade it to withdraw its support for the Ukrainian government. This article presents an analysis of IEDs as a unique weapon, the possible intensions behind their occurrence in Ukraine at a particular point in time, and the methods of identifying IED use in Ukraine based on the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) and the authors' database (TAD). Both the imprecision and uncertainty relative to GTD’s classification were discussed, as it served only as the starting point for data evaluation, yielding informative results, although containing little information related to the IEDs directly.

The forecasting of electric power generated by a solar power plant enables effective and safe control over electric networks which integrate a cluster of solar power plants. Penalty rates for the purchase of solar power at the day-ahead market, which deviates by more than 5 % of the maximum capacity of solar power plants from the provided hourly model of the day-ahead market of solar power generation, update the accuracy of the day-ahead market model through effective intelligent systems for forecasting solar power generation. It has been found that there is no accessible software for successful forecasting of solar power generation; the advisability and relevance of designing such software with an intelligent system have been shown based on the fi ndings of the examined existing software. The study developed, tested and implemented an intelligent system of indirect forecasting of solar power generation in the form of computer software designed based on a modifi ed fuzzy neural network with an attention mechanism. A class diagram and a block-modular architecture for computer software that implements an intelligent system of indirect forecasting of solar power generation were developed in UML notes using the Microsoft Visio CASE tool. A block-modular architecture provides the fl exibility of computer software. The computer software implementing an intelligent system of indirect forecasting for solar power generation was tested for effectiveness, robust results, and the advisability of its application for building a day-ahead market model. The SCADA database of a solar power plant can be easily integrated with an intelligent system of indirect forecasting of solar power generation.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the pre-employment card program for fresh graduates in Manado City. This research was conducted from November 2021 to February 2022. This type of research used descriptive qualitative methods. The results showed that the pre-employment card program did not run effectively and optimally. This is because the program is not running on target, the data verification and control process is not accurate and up to date so that participants who are not actually included in the requirements can pass and receive incentives. In addition, the socialization process by the North Sulawesi Province Manpower and Transmigration Office was not optimal and only relied on socialization from the central Pre-Employment Implementing Team and Management. The tendency of participants is only on incentives. Incentives are only used for daily needs and lead to consumptive behavior. The certificate of training results does not guarantee participants to easily get a job. The training is only in the form of videos and is not given live. The lack of control and supervision affects the level of discipline of the participants. There is no room for interaction and discussion when there are participants who do not understand the training material. The absence of continuous assistance to participants causes this program to not show satisfactory results. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the pre-employment card program for fresh graduates in Manado City is not running effectively and does not show maximum results. So it is necessary to evaluate and improve management regularly and continuously, starting from the data verification process, socialization, program implementation results, as well as in program monitoring.
Evaluation of cutoff characteristics in oscillating liquid crystal molecules under sinusoidal electric fields
Authors: Inoue Yo , Shikada Tateaki , Bono Shinji , Moritake Hiroshi
Published: April 2024

Sinusoidal electric fields are applied to liquid crystals (LCs) across various frequencies ranging from 0.1 Hz to 10 kHz to investigate the oscillatory behavior of LC directors. In a 1.5 μm thick 5CB cell, a significant decline in refractive index change occurs in the frequency range greater than 10 Hz, in which the LC director cannot sufficiently follow the rapid fluctuations in field intensity. To evaluate the response speed of the LCs under sinusoidal electric fields, the cutoff frequency is introduced as a response indicator. Enhancement of the cutoff frequency can be achieved through conventional fast response techniques such as polymer-stabilized LCs.

Published: April 2024

Background: Adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) problems remain an important public health issue in many developing countries, such as Indonesia. Therefore, assessing SRH knowledge, attitude, and behavior among adolescents are worth considering for public health intervention purpose in order to reduce their vulnerability to SRH problems.Aims: This study aimed to assess SRH knowledge, attitude, and behavior among adolescent students in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia.Methods: This was a cross-sectional school-based study conducted in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia from July to September 2016. This study applied multi-stage random sampling to recruit 1,200 students out of 24 junior, senior, and vocational high schools. Variables in this study consisted of socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and behavior related to SRH. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and cross-tabulation to identify proportion differences.Results: Regarding knowledge on SRH, students had less knowledge on a reproductive process (10.1%) and reproductive risk (11.4%), but half of them knew about the sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV&AIDS (55.6%) and almost all had sufficient knowledge on puberty (90.7%). Meanwhile, few students argued that several sexual behaviors can be performed before getting married, such as kissing and hugging (48.9%), petting and oral sex (18.7%) and sexual intercourse (vaginal sex) (13.8%). Out of 1,200 adolescent students, 880 (73.3%) reported for have ever been in dating with someone. Among adolescent dating, few students reported for an experience of petting (14.3%), oral sex (9.8%), vaginal sex (6.5%), and anal sex (2.6%).Conclusion: Adolescent students in Denpasar, Bali, had a low level of sufficient knowledge in some SRH aspects, a few students reported for permissive attitude and performed premarital sexual behaviors. Therefore, providing comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is worth considering to improve knowledge and appropriate skills in order to prevent risky sexual behavior among adolescents.

Storage Stability of High Fiber Snack Bar
Authors: Pratiwi Ivana Aprilia , Kemsawasd Varongsiri , Winuprasith Thunnalin
Published: April 2024

Background: Recently, there has been considerable interest in increasing the dietary fiber content in food products because of inadequate dietary fiber consumption when considering the daily recommended intake. To increase dietary fiber intake, dietary fiber fortified foods are recommended. This study aimed to develop a high fiber snack bar (HFSB) using a combination of Jerusalem artichoke powder (JAP) and low-fat desiccated coconut (LFDC) as sources of dietary fiber.
Methods: The changes in physicochemical and microbiological properties, and sensory acceptability were measured during storage at 35 oC and 45 oC for 12 weeks. Therefore, the shelf-life of the products was calculated by Q10 test.
Results: The HFSB had a higher L* value (lightness) than control (C) due to the addition of LFDC. Total dietary fiber of the HFSB was approximately 3.7 times higher than that of the C formula. The L*, a*, and b* values of both C and HFSB were statistically significant different (p<0.05) after storage. The total color different (ï¿¿E) values of the HFSB were higher than those of the C formula due to inulin from JAP, which participated in the Maillard reaction. During storage, the moisture content (MC) and water activity (aw) of the HFSB remained more stable compared to those of the C due to the water-holding capacity of the fiber used. The aw of the C and HFSB during storage were in the range of 0.57 to 0.60 and 0.53 to 0.57, respectively. Those ranges should be stable against microbial growth. Higher storage temperature would increase the TBARS values and decrease the pH (p<0.05) of the C and HFSB due to deterioration. In terms of shelf-life calculation, the C and HFSB snack bar could be kept in metalized polyester at 30 oC for 11 weeks.
Conclusion: The JAP and LFDC exhibited great potential for use as fiber ingredients. Although the JAP and LFDC influenced the physicochemical properties and sensory acceptability, the shelf-life of both C and HFSB was comparable. Therefore, further studies should be conducted to extend the shelf-life of the formulated snack bar.

The increasing incidences of hypertension in the world may be affected by several predictors including age, sex-linked, heredity, smoking habit, obesity, and salt consumption. This study has objective to examine those predictors to hypertension grade.
Methods: This research was used observational analytic method with cross-sectional study. This study involved 136 respondents who came to Kalijaga Permai Public Health Center, Cirebon City. The variables were measured by microtoise, sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, scales, and questionnaires. Spearman correlation test and logistic regression test was analyzed for this study.
Results: 59.9% of respondents were in hypertension grade 1 and 54% of respondents were in high risk age. The bivariate results revealed that age, sex-linked, heredity, and salt consumption were statistically correlated with hypertension grade (p=0.001). However, smoking habit and obesity were not statistically correlated. Multivariate analysis found that those who add extra salt were 3.3 times more likely to have hypertension grade 2 and those in high risk age were 3.1 more likely to have hypertension grade 2 as well. Compared with female and those who have negative heredity, male and positive heredity were 2.7 times more likely to have hypertension grade 2.
Conclusion: Salt consumption, age, sex-linked, heredity was significantly correlated with hypertension grade. Salt consumption was a risk factors which has the highest impact. Public health center should educate people about the recommendation of daily salt intake to prevent the excessive intake that may affect hypertension.

A method for identifying human emotions from facial expressions is called facial emotion detection. This essay focuses on analyzing youngsters with autism's facial expressions to determine their feelings. In this research, five emotions are examined. These feelings include anger, surprise, sadness, happiness, and neutrality. Image processing and machine learning techniques are used to identify the emotions of autistic youngsters. The local binary pattern features are taken from the faces of youngsters with autism. Emotions are categorized using machine learning algorithms. Neural networks and support vector machines are two types of machine learning classifiers used in the classification process. Child age detection in film shots plays a vital role in ensuring compliance with age-restricted content regulations and safeguarding the well-being of underage actors. This abstract presents an overview of recent advancements, methodologies, and applications in using machine learning (ML) for child age detection.
Exploring the correlation between sociodemographic factors and women's fertility in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Grigoras Ecaterina
Published: April 2024

The article aims to study the impact of sociodemographic factors on the probability of having children among women from the Republic of Moldova. The research is based on the data of the demographic study Generations and Gender conducted in Moldova in 2020. The probability of a woman having at least one child during her lifetime is influenced by her level of education and place of residence. Women with higher education and those from urban areas tend to have a lower probability of having a child at a young age. Women from the municipality of Chisinau also have a lower probability of having at least one child by the age of 30. Postponing the birth of the first child to older ages implies a lower probability for women to have children of higher birth orders. Women with higher education have a 65.6% probability of giving birth to two children and a 16.9% probability of giving birth to three children. Similarly, in urban areas, there is a significantly lower probability of having no less than two children (60.7%) and three children (16.4%). In the municipality of Chisinau, the probability of having a second child is 53.1% and the third child is 12.3%. The article was elaborated within the State Program Project (2020-2023) 20.80009.0807.21 „Migration, demographic changes, and situation stabilization policies”.
Украинские переселенцы в Приднестровье: условия и проблемы адаптации к местным условиям
Authors: Crivenco Andrei
Published: April 2024

The Republic of Moldova, including the Transnistrian region, has become one stop on the massive flow of displaced Ukrainians to the west. Many of them decided to settle in the region. It is relevant to understand how displaced Ukrainians settle in the region and which problems they face. Among Ukrainian migrants in Transnistria, women predominate (about 85%). About 50% of refugees are between 30 and 50 years old. The presence of displaced Ukrainians in Transnistria has a certain impact on the demographic situation in the region, but statistical accounting of this impact remains a problem. The adaptation of Ukrainian immigrants to Transnistria can be supported by a number of factors, including the region’s proximity to Ukraine (especially from Odessa), a favorable cultural and linguistic environment, a simplified registration system, and the availability of educational services, including in the Ukrainian language. The adaptation of Ukrainian immigrants to Transnistria may face a number of factors that may pose obstacles to successful integration, including differences in traditions and customs between Ukraine and Transnistria (for example, the use of pro-Russian symbols in the region), limited social services available to resettlers, low levels of payment labor and difficulty finding work. The current situation aggravates the issue of the effectiveness of the Transnistrian authorities’ policy to attract and retain the population through measures to create jobs, provide affordable housing and support families.

The current urban development in Europe faces many complex problems, mainly related to the deepening of socio-economic inequalities, spatial polarization and ghettoization, the increasing share of marginalized populations and those at risk of poverty, and school segregation. These issues are particularly acute in countries with a heterogeneous ethnic structure, and the Roma population has emerged as the most vulnerable group within Europe, particularly in Bulgaria. Roma ethnical group constituted 4.4% of the total Bulgarian population in 2021 and shows a high territorial concentration in several well-delineated areas, namely North-Western, North-Eastern, Maritsa, Trans-Balkan, and Burgas regions. In addition, more than half of them live in cities and possess the most favorable demographic features and the highest migration mobility compared to other ethnic groups. So far, despite the long-standing efforts of the Bulgarian state for Roma's successful integration, there are continuous and unfavorable trends of deepening processes of social exclusion, intolerance manifestations, spatial segregation, poor housing conditions, and lack of employment. The paper explores the current spatial polarization and urban ghettoization of the Roma population in Bulgaria. The spatial segregation of Roma urban communities is a significant issue in Bulgaria, and efforts to address their integration through national and regional strategies have not yet yielded substantial improvements. The extensive knowledge of the Roma population's cultural and other inherent peculiarities and the involvement of Roma stakeholders in policy discussions and implementations are crucial for achieving sustainable change in Bulgarian society.

Domestic violence exists in various societies, including in the Republic of Moldova. This constitutes a serious form of violation of human rights. At the same time, domestic violence has a strong gender character, based on the social relations of inequality between women and men. From 2007 until now, the Republic of Moldova has continuously improved its mechanisms to prevent and combat domestic violence and adopted normative acts to ensure a systemic approach for preventing and combating this phenomenon, but also to guarantee an effective response of specialized institutions in given cases. In order to prevent and combat domestic violence, but also to provide assistance to victims, the local public authorities establish the multidisciplinary team at the community level. In this article, is analyzed the intervention of multidisciplinary teams in cases of domestic violence and assistance of women-victims of domestic violence, in 12 communities from Cahul and Ungheni districts. The data were collected through the sociological survey in 12 communities, focus group discussions with members of multidisciplinary teams and interviews with women victims of domestic violence in 2019 and 2023. 1 The research results highlight changes in identification procedures, registration, case management, assistance and referral of women-victims of violence, as well as in the work of multidisciplinary teams, including challenges and opportunities for improving the work of multidisciplinary teams.
