Authors: Manoppo Jeanette Irene Christiene , Yolanda Natharina , Umboh Adrian
Published: September 2024

Background The gut microbiota has a potential role in the development of nephrotic syndrome. Fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels are representative of gut microbiota activity.
Objective To assess for potential associations of fecal short-chain fatty acid levels in pediatric relapsing nephrotic syndrome.
Methods This cross-sectional study was done on patients at the Pediatric Nephrology Subdivision of Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou General Hospital, a referral hospital in Manado, Indonesia. Subjects were 25 patients aged less than 18 years with nephrotic syndrome (NS). We compared the levels of fecal acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid percentage, absolute butyric acid, and total short-chain fatty acid between children with relapsing and non-relapsing NS. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to determine the significant SCFA cut-off level to diagnose NS.
Results Comparison of fecal SCFAs between relapsing and non-relapsing NS groups showed significantly lower butyric acid percentages, absolute butyric acid level, and total SCFAs levels in the relapsing NS group, but not in acetic acid or propionic acid levels. Further multivariate analysis did not show a significant difference in total SCFA levels between relapsing and non-relapsing NS. Absolute butyric acid level had the strongest association with relapsing NS, with the highest predictive score. The absolute butyric acid cut-off value of 0.85 mg/mL had a high sensitivity (90%) and high specificity (93.3%) for predicting relapsing nephrotic syndrome.
Conclusion Fecal acetic acid, propionic acid, and total short-chain fatty acid in stool are not associated with relapsing NS in children. However, fecal butyric acid measurements are inversely associated with relapsing NS.

Ao longo das últimas três décadas, a educação do campo tem sido estudada por várias áreas do conhecimento, como pedagogia, geografia, história, ensino de ciências, entre outras. Este trabalho se dedicou a compreender como as relações entre os territórios camponeses e a educação do campo são abordadas nesses estudos. Para isso, foi realizado o balanço de produções acadêmicas, um instrumento que permite alcançar um panorama ampliado de como essa temática tem sido trabalhada nos últimos anos, quais as principais abordagens, os diferentes enfoques, bem como os principais autores que ancoram essa discussão - que é fronteiriça entre a geografia agrária e a educação do campo. Foram consultados a Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, e o Portal de periódicos da CAPES. O material obtido foi tabulado, classificado e posteriormente analisado. As análises revelaram, em um extremo, inadequações e distorções na abordagem teórica da categoria de territórios e, no outro extremo, uma abordagem teórica consistente, mas pouco utilizada como instrumental de análise da realidade. Entre os dois extremos, foram encontrados trabalhos realizados com a devida articulação entre o referencial teórico e sua utilidade para analisar as realidades pesquisadas O balanço de produções acadêmicas revelou a necessidade de maior rigor no uso da categoria de território, ao passo que evidenciou como a Educação Popular é aprimorada com propostas pedagógicas que articulam os territórios camponeses e a educação.
Place and Memory in Commemorating Remembrance of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site
Authors: Che Amat Rohayah , Zainal Abidin Nor Arbina
Published: September 2024

This paper seeks to delve into the dynamic interplay between place and memory at the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a focus on how its physical monuments serve as vessels for collective memory and narrators of the city's history. This study engages with theoretical perspectives of memory and place to analyze commemorative processes and evaluates their role in maintaining cultural continuity and identity.  The study conducted semi-structured interviews and distribute surveys among a carefully selected cross-section of George Town's populace, thus ensuring a representative narrative mosaic. The inquiry will include an assessment of the site and exploring its significance in the community's social fabric. The study recognizes the complexity of interpreting memories within ever-changing urban landscapes and addresses potential biases. Childhood memories, especially when structures remain, shape a person's image of a place. Their tales demonstrate their love for it. The length of a person's relationship with a place most affects their opinion. Long-term residents like it more. Place and memory are vital to commemorating George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This relationship must frequently be adapted to urban life. The city acknowledges memory interpretation, resolves prejudices about memorial traditions, and embraces inclusive narratives to preserve cultural memory for future generations. The outcomes will offer new insights into conservation strategies and enrich our understanding of historical urban environments.

Authors: Bharatee Anindya , Ray Pravat Kumar , Ghosh Arnab , Panda Gayadhar
Published: September 2024

The demand for the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) with the existing distribution grid is increasing rapidly because of the growing power requirement. The variable power generation from RESs and changing power demand make it necessary to integrate energy storage units. To get stable and trouble-free operation in both transient state and steady state, a combination of battery and supercapacitor storage devices are considered in this work as hybrid energy storage devices (HESDs). But to ensure the power balance in the grid-connected microgrid is a critical aspect nowadays. Hence, a real power management algorithm is proposed in this work to ensure a balance between energy production and demand and provide stability in the microgrid. Both simulation and experimental implementation of the proposed scheme confirm the efficacy and smooth operation of the hybrid microgrid.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is known to be one of the current crops with wide adaptability and the potential to grow in various agroecological zones. It has been titled as “queen of cereals” group owing to its high genetic yield capability and abundance among the cereal crop. This study highlights the nutritive composition, phytochemical composition, pharmaceutical properties, and the unconventional use (like ethanol production) of maize plant parts such as the husk, silk, and cob, along with their utilisation in the food sector and pharmaceutical industries. Apart from the kernels, bulk of the harvest, if not used as manure, is majorly treated as waste and is usually discarded. Maize can be incorporated and utilised in the waste management of crop residues. The industrial significance of the maize crop is unmatched when compared to other cereal crops and it is used as a raw material for over 3,000 products in various sectors namely, sweeteners, cosmetics, textiles, gum, alcoholic beverages, films, package, and paper industries. Each part of the maize plant is rich in macronutrients (carbohydrates and proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) along with other phytochemical constituents due to which it has an immense scope to be used in value-added products providing various pharmacological properties.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TYUMEN OBLAST BASED ON OIL AND GAS INNOVATIONS
Authors: КРЮКОВ В.А. , ТОКАРЕВ А.Н.
Published: September 2024

В настоящее время к основным стратегическим драйверам развития регионов часто относят инновации и диверсификацию. Многообещающе выглядят виды деятельности, лежащие на стыке этих направлений или их объединяющие, т.е., по сути, диверсификация на основе инноваций. Применительно к ресурсному сектору экономики и сырьевым регионам такая диверсификация означает развитие наукоемких поставщиков и высокотехнологичного сервиса, в том числе в рамках специализированных кластеров. В условиях усложнения ресурсной базы нефтегазового сектора (НГС) и санкционного давления эти задачи становятся для России все более актуальными. Полезным примером является формирование конкурентоспособного нефтепромышленного кластера (НПК) на юге Тюменской области. В статье показано, что кластер может стать важным фактором социально-экономического развития региона. При этом долгосрочный вклад НПК в экономический рост области может быть обеспечен только при значительной доле инновационных проектов (наукоемких, с высокой добавленной стоимостью), отвечающих на все новые вызовы, связанные с изменением основных активов НГС Западной Сибири - ресурсной базы.

In the context of regional development, innovation and diversification are currently recognized as main strategic drivers. Particularly promising is the convergence of these areas, known as diversification based on innovation. For the resource sector of the economy and resource regions, such diversification entails the development of knowledge-intensive suppliers and high-tech services, often within specialized clusters. Given the increasing complexities of the resource base in the oil and gas sector and the pressures of sanctions, these objectives have gained significant relevance in Russia. A compelling illustration can be found in the establishment of a competitive oil industry cluster in the southern part of Tyumen Oblast. It is shown that this cluster has the potential to be a crucial catalyst for the socio-economic progress of the region. However, for the oil industry cluster to contribute sustainably to the region's economic growth in the long term, it necessitates a substantial share of innovative projects. These projects should be science-intensive and deliver high added value, while effectively addressing all the emerging challenges associated with changes in the primary assets of the oil and gas sector in Western Siberia.

Published: September 2024

На основе результатов социологического опроса жителей районов освоения Республики Тывы проведен анализ влияния промышленных разработок минерально-сырьевой базы на социально-экономическое развитие региона. Определены сферы, на которые существенно повлияла хозяйственная эксплуатация территорий, включая экологическую обстановку и социально-экономическое самочувствие населения, определены основы устойчивого развития районов добычи. С помощью кластерного анализа районы освоения распределены в соответствии с тремя вариантами равновесного состояния: безразличным, неустойчивым и устойчивым. Выделилась группа районов, на которые не влияет присутствие горнодобывающих предприятий: Тандинский и Дзун-Хемчикский. В Тоджинском районе с началом активного освоения расположенных на его территории месторождений экологическая обстановка стала ухудшаться. Кызылский район сегодня пребывает в устойчивом равновесном состоянии, наблюдаются изменения во всех трех сферах: экономической, социальной и экологической. Имеются отрицательные оценки изменений, но положительные превалируют. Коллективная оценка изменений также показала наличие расхождения. Полученные кластеры значений приближены друг к другу, а по некоторым вопросам, таким как улучшение электроснабжения, улучшение качества дорог, увеличение загрязнения воздуха и др., максимально сближаются. По остальным мнения расходятся, наибольшее расхождение наблюдается в оценке заработной платы и покупательской способности местного населения.

Based on a sociological survey conducted among residents living in mining areas of the Tyva Republic (Tuva), this article examines the impact of industrial development on the region’s socio-economic advancement, particularly focusing on the environmental situation and the well-being of the population. The study identifies the sectors significantly affected by the economic exploitation of the territories and establishes the foundation for sustainable growth in these mining areas. By employing cluster analysis, we categorize the development districts into three equilibrium states: indifferent, unsustainable, and sustainable. The research distinguishes the Tandinsky and Dzun-Khemchiksky districts as they remain unaffected by mining enterprises. In contrast, the Todzhinsky District demonstrates environmental degradation due to active mining operations. The Kyzylsky District is currently approaching a sustainable equilibrium state, with mixed changes observed across all three dimensions: economic, social and ecological. While negative assessments exist, positive ones prevail overall. The article also reveals divergence in collective assessments. Although clusters of values align closely on certain issues such as improving electricity supply, road quality, and increasing air pollution, opinions diverge on other aspects. The most notable divergence occurs in the assessment of wages and the local population’s purchasing power.

В статье изучаются тенденции развития методов анализа издержек и выгод, выявленные в соответствии с этапами научно-технологического развития. Для оценки эффективности крупных инвестиционных проектов предлагается комплекс взаимосвязанных моделей, базирующийся на расширенном варианте финансово-экономической модели, взаимосвязанной с оптимизационной мультирегиональной межотраслевой моделью, а также с детализированными финансово-экономическими моделями отдельных подпроектов и эконометрическими моделями отдельных общественных эффектов. Выделены основные этапы и описаны формулы расчетов по данному комплексу для четырех сценариев технологических изменений. На основе применения предложенных методов впервые получена оценка системы показателей эффективности крупного реального проекта «Академгородок 2.0» на период 2013-2030 гг. с инвестициями в размере 299 млрд руб. При измерении в постоянных ценах 2013 г. чистый дисконтированный доход проекта в рамках анализа общественной эффективности для основного сценария составил 800 млрд руб. при 7%-й ставке дисконтирования или 1964 млрд руб. при расчете без дисконтирования. Полученные величины показателей финансовой, экономической и бюджетной эффективности проекта сопоставимы с аналогичными оценками европейских проектов создания установок класса «мегасайенс».

This article examines the evolution of cost-benefit analysis methods in line with advancements in science and technology. It proposes a comprehensive set of interconnected models that combine an expanded financial and economic model as their basis, an optimization multiregional input-output model, along with detailed financial and economic models for individual subprojects and econometric models for some public effects. These models are utilized to evaluate the efficiency of large-scale investment projects. The study then focuses on four scenarios of technological changes and presents the calculation formulas for each key stage. Using these methods, the research assesses, for the first time, the performance indicators of “Akademgorodok 2.0, " a large-scale real project with a 2013-2030 timeline and an investment of 299 billion rubles. When considering constant 2013 prices, a cost-benefit analysis reveals a net discounted income of800 billion rubles at a 7% discount rate, or 1964 billion rubles without discounting. These figures demonstrate that the project’s financial, economic, and budgetary efficiency indicators align with evaluations of similar mega science installations in Europe.
Delignification, yield, defibreability, and brightness of pine wood (Pinus sylvestris) pulped using the alkaline sulphite method with the addition of DDA and ethylene glycol
Authors: Danielewicz Dariusz
Published: September 2024

Sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) is known as a selective chemical agent for wood delignification. In this work, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) wood was pulped using alkaline sulfite (AS) with the addition of 1,4-dihydro-9,10-dihydroxy anthracene (DDA) [called also soluble anthraquinone (SAQ)] and ethylene glycol (G). The studies showed the possibility of obtaining Kappa number (KN) 24 to 26 alkaline sulphite-DDA pine pulps with total and screened yields higher by 3.4 to 3.9% and 1.4 to 2.6%, respectively, than in the case of kraft pulping. The AS-SAQ pulping process was also characterized by much higher brightness of pulps but worse defibreability of wood than the kraft process. Increasing the amount of Na2SO3 dosed to the wood from 25% to 30-35% (based on wood) and adding G to the cooking liquor increased the delignification of pine wood in the AS-SAQ method to Kappa number of 17 to 20 units (without G) and approximately 14.5 units (with G). Such a modification had a positive effect on the defibreability of wood after pulping and the brightness of pulps but a negative effect on the screened yield of AS-SAQ and AS-SAQG pulps.

PUSHKIN’S CODE IN THE EPISTOLARY HOAX OF I. S. TURGENEV
Authors: Karpenko Gennady
Published: September 2024

In the article, the letter of I. S. Turgenev to P. V. Annenkov dated October 14 (old style), 1853, is for the first time considered as a “cryptographic text,” as a kind of response to Annenkov’s completion of preparations for the publication of Pushkin’s biography and writings. Although Pushkin’s name is not mentioned in the letter itself, “Pushkin’s presence” is encoded in different ways: in the initial “prosaic” part of the letter — in the form of associatively concealed hints about Pushkin’s work and the facts of the poet’s biography, and in the second part, in the Easter poem, it receives its explicit designation by an intertextual reference: “The past has opened up before me.” In the article, the Easter poem is analyzed not from the point of view of the problem of its authorship, which has not been completely solved, but as a manifestation of Turgenev’s artistic consciousness. The writer uses cryptographic hints to evaluate Annenkov’s contribution to the salvation of Pushkin’s name, “among other names doomed to oblivion” (as he will recall in a speech about Pushkin in 1880), in the categories of Paschal, “great and joyful news,” in the light of which the event of the Resurrection of Christ becomes an “emblem” of Pushkin’s fate, and the image of the poet is perceived as the image of the Resurrected.
The Film Ivan by Oleksandr Dovzhenko in the Light of the Soviet Intelligence Services
Authors: Rosliak Roman
Published: September 2024

A set of archival documents of the Soviet secret services (agent messages, reports, summaries, etc.) related to Dovzhenko’s work on the film Ivan in 1931–1932 is analyzed in the article. Ivan is just the film that has the largest number of documents of this kind among the works. The agents have informed the secret services about the work on the script, its passage through the censorship authorities, and the filming period in their reports. The criticism of the author has started in Ukraine after the completion of the film. During this period the agents have recorded the artist’s difficult moral and psychological state, his negative statements against the Ukrainian party leadership and representatives of the literary and artistic intelligentsia, and the measures taken by the leaders of the Ukrainian and Soviet cinematographers to level the negative assessment of the film in the press. Relevant experts have been engaged to write reviews to obtain more complete information about the film. The director has been forced to move to Moscow because of the considerable pressure and negative attitude in Ukraine. He is introduced to Joseph Stalin there. The dictator has liked the movie. Following Stalin, official criticism also has changed its mind about Ivan, and the film was allowed to be shown. Dovzhenko was saved from seemingly certain death. The director has soon started work on his next film, called Aerograd. But the Soviet secret services did not let the artist out of their sight in Moscow. In general, the surveillance of O. Dovzhenko during his work on the film Ivan was part of a much wider range of operational activities of the special services to obtain compromising materials about the artist’s “anti-Soviet” activities and continued until his death.

Nalar Pikir Orientalis terhadap Kajian Al-Qur’an (Telaah Atas Metodologi John Wansbrough)
Authors: Saputri Irdawati , Hotiza Siti , Mubarak Syahrul
Published: September 2024

This article aims to discuss how John Wansbrough's thought views on the Qur'an, the influence of his thoughts in the study of the Qur'an and how other orientalists and Muslim scholars assess the results of his thinking. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review. The results of this study show that John Wansbrough is a controversial orientalist because of his opinion about the Qur'an which is skeptic-revisionist. He revealed that the Qur'an is a continuation of the Christian and Jewish traditions or nothing more than a copy or imitation of the bible. The Qur'an according to him is a literary work, besides that he also considers that the activity of copying the Qur'an into manuscript during the reign of Abu Bakar and Usman is just a fictitious. Wansbrough's view is the result of his study of the Qur'an through the analytical approach of literary and historical criticism, which is taken from the methods of criticism commonly used in criticizing the bibles. Many Western and Muslim scholars in responding to Wansbrough's thoughts criticize but some support him. Nonetheless, Wansbrough's methods and thoughts are enough to contribute to the development of critical methodology in the study of al-Qur'an studies and its interpretation.
Polemik Periwayatan Hadis bil Ma’na: Studi Komparasi Pemikiran Syuhudi Ismail dan Mahmud Abu Rayyah
Authors: Hadiana Shinta Nuriyah , Muhid Muhid
Published: September 2024

The narration of the hadith bil ma’na is a topic that gives rise to debate and differences of opinion among Muslim scholars and scholars. Some controversy has arisen regarding caution in interpreting the meaning of hadith outside the text, fearing that this could open the door to subjective interpretations or deviations from the original teachings. There are several figures who have an influence on the study of hadith, especially regarding the narration of bi al-ma'na, one of which is interesting to study is Syuhudi Ismail and Mahmud Abu Rayyah in understanding the narration of Hadith bi al-ma'na. This research aims to find out how Syuhudi Ismail and Mahmud Abu Rayyah think regarding the polemic of the narration of the hadith bi Al-Ma'na, then compare the thoughts of the two figures to find similarities and differences in their thoughts regarding the narration of the hadith bi al-ma'na. This research uses a qualitative approach with a review of literature studies. The research results show that Syuhudi Ismail tends to be more flexible in accepting the narration of the bil ma’na hadith, provided that the core meaning of the hadith is maintained. On the other hand, Mahmud Abu Rayyah showed a more cautious approach and tended not to allow the narration of bi al-ma'na, because he was worried about the possibility of changing the original meaning. Although both aim to maintain the validity of the meaning of the hadith.

Foram construídas 13 proposições em três categorias (conceitos do metaparadigma da enfermagem, centrais e fatoriais), duas modelagens e 16 pressupostos. Considerações Finais: a teoria contribui com a construção de conhecimento próprio oriundo do processo de enfermagem para o cuidado no contexto de risco cardiovascular, gerando proposições, pressupostos e modelagem, as quais possibilitarão testagem teórica.
U-SMAS: ultrasound findings of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system
Authors: Zattar Luciana C. , Faria Gladstone , Boggio Ricardo
Published: September 2024

Abstract The superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) is a complex fibrous network connecting facial muscles to the dermis, with varying morphological characteristics across different facial regions. Recent studies have identified five distinct types of SMAS morphology, highlighting the need for region-specific interventions in facial rejuvenation. This pictorial essay explores ultrasound imaging of the SMAS using ultra-high frequency (24–33 MHz) probes, known as U-SMAS. Analysis of 186 full-face U-SMAS scans revealed consistent patterns in the facial and neck layers, with regional variations aligning with the Sandulescu classifications: type I (preparotideal); type II (chin and lip); type III (eyelid); type IV (temporal and parotideal); and type V (cervical). Understanding these morphological differences is crucial for accurate interpretation of ultrasound images and for optimizing pre-procedural assessments to ensure that aesthetic treatments are safe and effective. Knowledge of the SMAS architecture enhances the ability to visualize facial and neck anatomy accurately, particularly through U-SMAS imaging, ensuring comprehensive patient care in rejuvenation procedures.

A inflação brasileira: lições e perspectivas
Authors: SIMONSEN MÁRIO HENRIQUE
Published: September 2024

RESUMO Este artigo desenvolve a ideia de que as três teorias básicas da inflação (a monetária, a fiscal e a inercial) se complementam. Essa interpretação traz duas importantes questões de política: primeiro, a necessidade de coordenação entre política fiscal e monetária; e segundo, a necessidade de sincronização das medidas anti-inflacionárias do lado da demanda e do custo para romper o vínculo entre a inflação presente e passada devido à indexação. Essas questões são desenvolvidas no contexto da lição de casa institucional brasileira, de uma multiplicidade de orçamentos, indexação formal e um sistema monetário peculiar. Finalmente, políticas alternativas são avaliadas criticamente.

Published: September 2024

Abstract Candida albicans is often associated with oral candidiasis, and drug-resistance profiles have contributed to an increase in morbidity and mortality. It is known that Lactobacillus spp. acts by competing for adhesion to the epithelium, absorption of nutrients and modulation of the human microbiota. Therefore, they are important to assist in the host's microbiological balance and reduce the growth of Candida spp. Until now, there have been no reports in the literature of reviews correlating to the use of Lactobacillus spp. in the treatment of oral candidiasis. Thus, this review aims to highlight the mechanisms of action of Lactobacillus spp. and methods that can be used in the treatment of oral candidiasis. This is a study carried out through the databases PubMed Central and Scientific Electronic Library Online, using the following keywords: Oral Candidiasis and Lactobacillus. Original articles about oral candidiasis were included, with both in vitro and in vivo analyses, and published from 2012 to 2022. Lactobacillus rhamnosus was the most common microorganism used in the experiments against Candida, acting mainly in the reduction of biofilm, filamentation, and competing for adhesion sites of Candida spp. Among in vivo studies, most researchers used immunosuppressed mouse modelsof Candida infection. The studies showed that Lactobacillus has a great potential as a probiotic, acting mainly in the prevention and treatment of mucosal diseases. Thus, the use of Lactobacillus may be a good strategy for the treatment of oral candidiasis.

Abstract The soil is a dynamic environment, influenced by abiotic and biotic factors, which can result in changes in plant development. This study aimed to assess the impact on vegetative growth of chia (Salvia hispanica L) inoculated with Trichoderma harzianum and on the rhizosphere microbiome. The experimentation was conducted in a greenhouse under controlled conditions growing chia plants in pots containing soil with a clayey texture. Different concentrations of T. harzianum (0; 2.5; 5.0; 10.0; 20.0 µL. g-1 of seed) were applied to the chia seeds before planting. Morphological parameters, including plant height (cm), number of branches, stem diameter (mm), number of days to flowering and shoot and root dry masses (g) were quantitatively assessed. After the cultivation period, soil samples from the rhizosphere region were collected for subsequent chemical and metagenomic analyses. These samples were also compared with the control soil, collected before installing the experiment. The results showed that increasing doses of T. harzianum promoted a significant increase in the diameter of the stem, number of branches, dry biomass of the root system and the number of days to flowering, without modifying the overall height of the plants. Soil metagenomics indicated that T. harzianum inoculation modified the microbial diversity of the rhizosphere environment, with more pronounced effects observed in samples treated with higher concentrations of the inoculant. Furthermore, there were changes in the chemical composition and enzymes related to soil quality in correlation with the concentrations of the applied inoculant. This study demonstrated that inoculating chia seeds with T. harzianum not only promotes specific morphogenetic characteristics of the plant, but it also has a significant impact on the microbial diversity and biochemical functionality of the soil, including an observed increase in the populations of T. harzianum and T. asperellum.
