Authors:   , Rodrigues Alcimar
Published: November 2023

O café é uma das bebidas mais consumidas no mundo e um dos produtos mais importantes do setor agrícola brasileiro. A qualidade da bebida do café está diretamente relacionada com as características físico-químicas do grão. Contudo há poucos relatos na literatura sobre as características físico-químicas de frutos de café imaturos, e sua correlação com a qualidade da bebida. Neste contexto, este trabalho objetivou estudar a composição físico-química e realizar avaliação sensorial de três tipos de café arábica: verde, cereja natural e cereja descascado, avaliar ou estabelecer a correlação entre os parâmetros físico-químicos e a qualidade sensorial. As propriedades físico-químicas determinadas foram coordenadas colorimétricas, teor de água, pH, sólidos solúveis, acidez titulável total, açúcares totais (redutores e não redutores), proteínas, compostos fenólicos totais, cafeína, ácido clorogênico, trigonelina, capacidade antioxidante pelos métodos ABTS e DPPH, condutividade elétrica e lixiviação de potássio. A avaliação sensorial foi realizada conforme o protocolo da SCA - Specialty Coffee Association. Houve variação significativa entre os tipos de café estudados quanto às coordenadas colorimétricas avaliadas e análises físico-químicas de teor de água, pH, sólidos solúveis, açúcares totais (redutores e não redutores), cafeína, trigonelina, condutividade elétrica e potássio lixiviado. Não foi observada variação entre as amostras de café analisadas quanto aos teores de acidez total titulável, proteínas, compostos fenólicos totais, ácido clorogênico e capacidade antioxidante. O café tipo cereja natural apresentou a maior nota na avaliação sensorial, sendo considerado um café especial “Muito bom” pela SCA, enquanto o café tipo cereja descascado e tipo verde não foram considerados cafés especiais de acordo com a pontuação obtida na avaliação sensorial. Através do teste de correlação de Pearson foram observadas correlações significativas entre as propriedades físico-químicas analisadas e a pontuação global obtida na avaliação sensorial. Foram observadas correlações positivas para os parâmetros colorimétricos L* e a*, pH, sólidos solúveis, açúcares totais e açúcares não redutores, ainda, observaram-se correlações negativas foram verificadas para coordenada de cor a*, teor de água, cafeína, ácido clorogênico, trigonelina, condutividade elétrica e lixiviação de potássio. Dessa forma, várias características físico-químicas podem ser consideradas marcadores de qualidade para o café cru, podendo ser uma alternativa ou complementação para avaliação da qualidade sensorial desses cafés.Palavras-chave: Café especial.

The water related standardization system aims to meet the coordinated development and safety demands of hydrology, water conservancy, and water resources, and serves as the main support for the high-quality development of hydrology and water resources. By 2022, the national standard information public service platform. has disclosed more than 4000 water related standards, covering the topics of water resources management, water conservancy project construction, operation management, water and soil conservation, rural water conservancy and hydropower, reservoirs and water conservancy and hydropower project resettlement, flood and drought disaster prevention, hydrology, water transfer management, water conservancy informatization and other water-related standards. Based on the methodology of mathematical statistics, word frequency and co-word analysis, this article systematically sorts out China's water related standardization system, as well as the emphasis and development process of the standard work. Additionally, we summarise the problems and explore the development of countermeasures in the formulation and revision of water related standards through comparative analysis. The study shows that there are some problems in China’s water related standards, including imbalanced fields, relatively lagging system transformation, weak institutions, shortage of funds, lengthy approval, and incomplete implementation and enforcement of the problems. In order to comprehensively enhance the normative guidance ability of water related standards in main areas such as water resource protection, water environment management, and water ecological management in river basins and regions, future water related standards should continuously promote the construction of water related standards databases, strengthen the coordination in the research and development and compilation of water related standards in various fields, promote the communication and collaboration of water related standardization organizations, and talent cultivation, and accelerate the establishment of a comprehensive technical standard system and international transformation ability, so as to provide reference for the improvement of the water related standards in China.

Glucose fuel cells have attracted widespread attention in the biomedical field due to their ability to generate electrical energy continuously. The development of this technology has great potential in the application of powering implantable medical devices. However, the efficiency of the glucose oxidation reaction at the anode of the fuel cell is low, and a catalyst needs to be added to improve the reaction efficiency. Platinum (Pt) catalysts are prone to agglomerate during use, which limits the improvement of their properties such as catalytic activity and stability. To address this problem, in this paper, a three-dimensional ( 3D) N-doped porous carbon (NCZIF-8) material with a large specific surface area was prepared as a catalyst carrier using ZIF-8 as a precursor. Low loading rate of platinum (10 wt. %) was prepared (10% Pt/NCZIF-8) and used as catalysts for glucose oxidation reaction. The materials were structurally characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman and FT-IR, etc. The electrocatalytic properties of the materials were characterized using an electrochemical workstation. It was shown that the incorporation of NCZIF-8 carrier promotes the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) and the utilization of the catalyst, which enhances the catalytic activity and stability of catalysts during electrocatalytic glucose oxidation. After 300 times cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests, the peak current density of 10% Pt/NCZIF-8 only decreased by 21. 12% and 8. 59% in the double-layer region and oxygen region, respectively, indicating the excellent stability of the catalyst. This kind of catalyst with low loading rate of precious metal has great potential for its practical application by improving catalyst utilization, which not only improves the catalytic efficiency but also reduces the material cost.

Objective: In order to study the effect of modified triethanolamine (TEA) on the properties of common silicate cement. Methods: Oleic acid was used to modify triethanolamine to synthesize oleic acid triethanolamine salt (Y-TEA) . Cement setting time, net slurry flow, mortar strength, mortar corrosion resistance coefficient, mortar electric flux were tested, and hydration products were analysed by XRD test. Results: Y-TEA accelerates the setting time of cement, reduces the net cement flow, increases the strength of cement mortar at all ages, improves the adverse effect of TEA on cement at the later stage, and increases the corrosion resistance and seepage resistance of cement mortar. At the optimal dosage of 0. 02%, the initial and final setting time of cement was accelerated by 12. 0% and 11. 1% respectively, the net slurry flow was reduced by 10. 1%, the flexural and compressive strengths of cementitious mortar at 3d, 7d and 28d were increased by 15. 4%, 11. 2%, 16. 2%, 15. 4%, 11. 2% and 16. 2% respectively, and the corrosion resistance coefficients of cementitious mortar at 28d and 120d increased by 11. 2% and 11. 1%, respectively, and the electric flux decreased by 9. 8%; XRD test analysis found that Y-TEA could accelerate the cement hydration, produce more hydration products and compact the internal structure of cement. Conclusion: Modified triethanolamine can effectively promote the development of cement mortar strength under a certain dosage, improve the adverse effect of TEA on the late strength of cement, and improve the corrosion resistance and seepage resistance of cement mortar.

The advent of digital technology has brought about a significant transformation in people's lives. However, unlike various aspects of modern life that have embraced digitalization, the electoral system continues to rely heavily on conventional paper-based methods. This reliance poses challenges to the fundamental principles of security and transparency, particularly in traditional offline elections. Presently, general elections employ a centralized system managed by a single organization, leading to potential vulnerabilities within the system. The concentration of control over the database presents opportunities for manipulation. Leveraging blockchain technology offers a viable solution by introducing a decentralized system where the database is collectively owned by multiple users. Blockchain's effectiveness in decentralized systems, as evidenced by its successful application in Bitcoin, presents an opportunity to address the vulnerabilities of the traditional electoral system. This project seeks to implement a blockchain-based algorithm for recording voting results across all polling locations. Unlike Bitcoin's Proof of Work mechanism, this approach will employ a predetermined rotation system for each node within the blockchain structure, ensuring enhanced security and integrity in the electoral process

Authors: Vijayakumar Gayathri , Vance Dylan , Colman Matthew W. , Gitelis Steven , Sweeney Kyle , Blank Alan T.
Published: November 2023

Objectives: To investigate post-operative opioid use following a total hip arthroplasty (THA) in metastatic bone disease (MBD) patients and identify factors associated with post-operative opioid use at 6 weeks and 90 days.

Background: MBD commonly affects the hip, and surgical intervention including THA may be indicated for pain relief or to improve function. Following THA, patients are often prescribed short courses of opioids for post-operative pain relief. No study has evaluated opiate use following THA in patients for MBD.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of patients using opioids preoperatively who underwent primary THA for MBD at two institutions between 2009 and 2022. Preoperative and post-operative opioid usages, respectively, at 6 weeks and 90 days were quantified through calculating daily morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) and compared using the sign test. Factors associated with post-operative opioid use at 6 weeks and 90 days were compared using χ2 test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate.

Results: Nineteen THA and 11 THA with complex acetabular reconstruction were included. At 6 weeks, 26 (86.7 percent) patients were utilizing opiates, and at 90 days, 23 (76.7 percent) patients were utilizing opiates. There was a statistically significant difference between median daily preoperative MME compared to daily MME at 90 days (p < 0.001). The only statistically significant association with opioid use at 90 days was opioid use at 6 weeks.

Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first paper evaluating post-operative opioid use following primary THA in MBD patients. After THA in the setting of MBD, patients exhibit decreased post-operative opioid use. Future studies with larger cohorts should be conducted to characterize post-operative opioid use following joint arthroplasty in MBD patients.
Low-dose buprenorphine initiation in the era of fentanyl and fentanyl analogs: A case series of outpatient inductions
Authors: Ahmed Saeed , Faruqui Zeeshan , Poddar Karuna , Bhivandkar Siddhi , Suzuki Joji
Published: November 2023

Buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, is a Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). However, due to its high binding affinity, precipitated withdrawal may occur if initiated in the presence of other opioids. The growing literature demonstrates promise for alternative induction model of low-dose initiation of buprenorphine for the treatment of OUD, specifically targeting patients averse to withdrawal or using fentanyl. In this case series, we present four clinical cases of outpatient inductions, in which three out of four successfully transitioned from fentanyl to buprenorphine, and one patient transitioned from methadone to buprenorphine using a low-dose induction method.

Published: November 2023

Issues and challenges surrounding the area of speaking skills are seems to be more demanding. However, the advances in technology have provided more opportunities for ESL learners to explore their academic potential as it offers multimodal spaces to boost learning. Technology is known for being capable to cater to various learning styles. One of the technological advances to enhance learning ability is through the digital multimodal composing technique. It incorporates images, sound, animation, and texts into their tasks, thus promoting creativity among learners. Therefore, this paper will propose a conceptual framework to visualise a research project and the way it puts into action. The proposed framework has been developed based on the digital multimodal composing (DMC) technique into the speaking classroom. It is believed that DMC technique could potentially enhanced speaking performance among the low proficiency students. Based on the framework, the DMC technique will serve as the treatments by incorporating the basis of multimodal approach into the speaking tasks. Tasks are designed based on the current social media trends so that students could relate their existing knowledge into learning. More interestingly, DMC speaking tasks could be completed using their own gadgets to create more opportunities for students to explore learning inside and outside classroom context.   The proposed framework would benefit the English teachers in the multimodal-based instructions and provide ways to improve necessary aspects in the use of educational technology for more impactful ESL classroom teaching and learning.

A preliminary study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of intestinal parasites in the faeces of captive Malayan tapir in Zoo Negara, Malaysia. A total of 12 fresh faecal samples were collected from three different individuals and screened for eggs and larvae using the sedimentation technique. The results shows that Strongylus sp. infection was the highest with 43 %, followed by Strongyloides sp. and Fasciola sp. with 17 % each, Balantidium sp. 11 %, Ascaris sp. 9 % and unidentified 3 %. Fasciola sp. and Ascaris sp. were found in samples obtained from one individual kept in a cage while Balantidium sp. was found in the free-roaming individuals. Previous information on parasitic diseases in tapir was largely derived from those found in the wild. This study highlights the first record on parasitic infection in captive tapir in Malaysia. In addition, due to pathogenic importance of the parasites to both animals and humans, the population should be closely monitored. Considering the endangered status of the Malayan tapir, further studies are needed to highlight this issue.

Participaron en el curso veinticuatro alumnos: profesionales de la madera, técnicos de la construcción y aficionados a la carpintería. En diez jornadas de trabajo se realizó una magnífica techumbre que ha salvado de la ruina y de la demolición un edificio histórico y singular que es hoy el principal centro social y cultural del municipio.
Former Colonial Souk of Tablaba, Taghjijt, Guelmim-Oued Noun
Authors: Naji Salima
Published: November 2023

This article describes the rehabilitation of the former colonial market of Tablaba, in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region of southern Morocco. In an old palm grove shared by the Tekna and Ayt Herbil tribes, a colonial souk was built in 1940 with local materials and on an impressive scale. In its rehabilitation carried out by Salima Naji following decades of decay, traditional techniques took pride of place. Equally important was a new pilot training program implemented across the province, recovering vernacular methods while also reviving building trades. Thus what is described is not the reconstruction of the original complex, which had partially disappeared when the work began, nor a restoration of any of its constituent parts in the strict sense, but a rehabilitation linking a memorial space that has been kept intact with new built structures.
