Authors: BURTAN Lavinia , MĂRIN Nicoleta , BADEA Oana Daniela , IONESCU Nicolaie
Published: April 2023

A field experiment was carried out at SCDA Pitești, on an Albic Luvisol with a 25.0-25.2% clay content, with soy crop, Raluca TD variety. Seeds were treated with Bradyrhizobiumjaponicum, the density was 45-50 germinable grains/m2, and the distance between rows 50 cm. Fertilizers were applied during the vegetation cycle as follows: Dual 1 liter/ha, Décor 0,5 liters/ha, and Pulsar 1 liter/ha. The experimental design included 12 variants with the following chemical fertilizers doses: N0P0, N40P40, and N80P80. Agrocalcium (a product obtained by lime fine grinding, with a minimum 90% calcium carbonate content) and Doloflor (100% BIO fertilizer based on bitter spar with a minimum 50% calcium and magnesium oxide content) were used as chalking. Doloflor application as powder and granules in a 2.5 t/ha dose without N and P fertilization modified the soil reaction and pH registered values of 5.3-5.5, in the moderately acid reaction domain. Doloflor powder and granules in 2.5 t/ha dose together with N40P40 and N80P80 fertilizers doses determined very high mobile phosphorus content values (95-97 mg/kg). Mobile potassium contents in the analyzed variants are low ((100-125 mg/kg). Grain yield ranged from 1,483 to 2,053 kg/ha. The lowest yield resulted in the unfertilized and unlimed control. The highest values of grain yield were obtained when applying liming doses together with complex fertilizers.

The highest frequency is on day 1 (after treatment) after which it gradually decreases. It should be noted that no antibiotic residues were detected in the collected milk samples prior to treatment. Antibiotic residues may be detected in the milk of recently calved animals due to intramammary treatments during the dry period (chronic mastitis). If the period after treatment is less than 15 days until calving, the frequency of detecting residues in milk after calving is high. As noted, there were two (10%) positive results, after the expiration of the waiting period, one in intramammary treated animals and one in intramuscular treated animals on the fourth day, the first day after the waiting period. The somatic cell count in the positive sample from intramammary treated animals was 2850000 cells/ml and 337000 cells/ml in the sample from intramuscular treated animals. The antibiotic residue test was influenced by the components of the milk with mastitis. From the analysis of the treatment register, it was found that the intramuscularly treated cow received an overdose of penicillin. This overdose resulted in a massive accumulation of penicillin in the animal’s body resulting in an extension of the elimination period by one more day.

Published: April 2023

En la industria avícola, existen diferentes tipos de Escherichia coli patógenos y no patógenos, según los genes asociados a virulencia (VAG) presentes en la bacteria. Sin embargo, los reportes sobre la identificación de los VAG de E. coli en pollos de engorde son limitados, especialmente en comunidades andinas ecuatorianas. El objetivo principal de este estudio consistió en identificar la diversidad genética y la presencia de VAG en cepas de E. coli. Se caracterizaron los VAG en varias granjas de la provincia del Azuay (sur del Ecuador) a partir de 30 aislados de cultivos bacteriológicos provenientes de pollos con signos clínicos de colibacilosis. Se utilizó la técnica de PCR para detectar el gen uspA específico de E. coli e igualmente los VAG que incluyen adhesinas (fimC), exotoxinas (cvaA) y sistemas de captación-transporte de hierro (iucD; chuA; fyuA), en cada aislamiento bacteriano. Se tipificaron molecularmente los E. coli patógenos mediante la evaluación de las secuencias de politrinucleótidos (GTG)5. El 83,33 % de los cultivos presentaron el gen uspA de E. coli. Las frecuencias de VAG positivos fue de 48 % para el gen chuA, 20 % para el gen cvaA, 84 % para el gen fimC, 36 % para el gen fyuA y 56 % para el gen iucD. La evaluación de las secuencias (GTG)5 reveló dos grupos filogenéticos principales de E. coli, los cuales, en su mayoría portan al menos un gen VAG. Estos resultados contribuyen a un diagnóstico preciso de la colibacilosis, su control y tratamiento eficaz por parte de los avicultores.

How and Why Do Researchers Reference Data? A Study of Rhetorical Features and Functions of Data References in Academic Articles
Authors: Lafia Sara , Thomer Andrea , Moss Elizabeth , Bleckley David , Hemphill Libby
Published: April 2023

Data reuse is a common practice in the social sciences. While published data play an essential role in the production of social science research, they are not consistently cited, which makes it difficult to assess their full scholarly impact and give credit to the original data producers. Furthermore, it can be challenging to understand researchers’ motivations for referencing data. Like references to academic literature, data references perform various rhetorical functions, such as paying homage, signaling disagreement, or drawing comparisons. This paper studies how and why researchers reference social science data in their academic writing. We develop a typology to model relationships between the entities that anchor data references, along with their features (access, actions, locations, styles, types) and functions (critique, describe, illustrate, interact, legitimize). We illustrate the use of the typology by coding multidisciplinary research articles (n = 30) referencing social science data archived at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). We show how our typology captures researchers’ interactions with data and purposes for referencing data. Our typology provides a systematic way to document and analyze researchers’ narratives about data use, extending our ability to give credit to data that support research.

Published: April 2023

Based on the rules from the government contained in the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 2019, the Public Health Center information system can be implemented electronically so that the data obtained can be stored safely. An electronic health center information system must have an application, an internet, and a local network (LAN). This can also support Health Promotion activities through electronic media and online reporting to the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. This research aims to apply innovative health education to the problem of low Tuberculosis patient visits. This is done by analyzing a fishbone diagram and determining priority solutions to problems that have resulted in no real follow-up plans (RTL) so that targets have not been met and there has been no evaluation action at the Parongpong Health Center. This activity is carried out in several stages, namely 1) problem analysis with fishbone, 2) USG (urgency, seriousness, growth), and 3) SWOT analysis. Furthermore, counseling was carried out to all people in the Parongpong sub-district. The results obtained from calculating the score using the SWOT analysis are to make regulations on procedures and standard operating procedures (SOP) for the use of the Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) to optimize health information management at the Parongpong Health Center, West Bandung Regency, Indonesia.

Published: April 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the subjective Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms with self-reported ratings and objective neurocognitive tests among medical students. Also, we examined to identify the psychological factors that predict ADHD reporting among medical students. Medical students (N=57) completed self-report questionnaires, and neurocognitive tests were conducted for attention measures. Participants had a mean age of 20.3 years, and 69.0% were female. High levels of perceived stress, state-trait anxiety, and current and childhood ADHD symptoms were possible risk factors; however, only higher perceived stress was a risk factor for the possibility of reporting themselves as ADHD in medical school students [odds ratio [OR] =1.184, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.015; 1.381]]. Higher perceived stress levels, the more reported ADHD subjectively in medical students. Objective attention measures had no impact on reporting ADHD subjectively. Screening for perceived stress is necessary for medical students, especially those with subjective ADHD symptoms.

Authors: GÖRMEZ Ayşegül , TOPCUOĞLU Osman Melih
Published: April 2023

Aim: To determine T1-weighted (T1W) signal intensity (SI) differences in the dentate nucleus (DN) and globus pallidus (GP) following contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with multiple gadopentetate dimeglumine administrations in a group of pediatric patients. Methods and materials: This retrospective study included children with at least two enhanced brain MRIs. All patients received gadopentetate dimeglumine intravenously (0.1 mmol/kg). SI measurements were done by drawing five region of interests (ROI) on dentate nuclei (DN) and globus pallidi (GP) bilaterally and cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) in unenhanced T1W images. Student t-test was used for comparison of SI. Pearson correlation was calculated for the correlation between the SI and the number of gadolinium administrations. Results: A total of 31 children (age range: 3-17 years; mean 10.6±4.3 years) were included. There was no significant difference between the first and the third MRI scans by means of the T1 SI ratios: right and left DN/CSF, right and left GP/CSF (P =0.543, P =0.599, P =0.803, P =0.730, respectively). 18 patients received more than two gadopentetate dimeglumine, the mean number of administrations was 5±3. A significant difference was detected between first and last MRI scans; right and left DN/CSF, right and left GP/CSF (P=0.0004, P=0.0008, P=0.0001, P=0.014 respectively). Correlation between the number of gadopentetate dimeglumine administrations and the SI for right and left DN/CSF, right and left GP/CSF (r=0.13, r=0.13, r=0.09 and r=0.12, respectively) was poor. Conclusion: There was no significant T1 SI increase for children with at least two gadopentetate dimeglumine administrations but after multiple administrations, significant T1 SI increase was found in this series.

Published: April 2023

Objective: This research has been conducted to reveal the relationship between nursing care perceptions, self-recovery power and perceived social support on the self-recovery power of inpatients in psychiatry clinics and the factors affecting this relationship. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, and relationship-seeking study was conducted with 172 patients hospitalized in psychiatry clinics. Research data were collected using the "Patient Information Collection Form", "Patient's Perception of Nursing Care Scale", "Self-Recovery Power Scale" and "Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support". Results: It was found that there is a highly significant relationship between psychiatric patients’ ability to recover and the perceived social support and the nursing care perception (p <0.01). According to MANOVA results, gender and the number of hospitalizations were found to affect the perceived social support and the perception of nursing care, respectively (p <0.05). According to the regression coefficients, it was determined that the perception of nursing care and the perceived social support have a highly significant effect on the self-recovery power (p <0.001). According to the fit indices values of SEM results, GFI, TLI, and IFI indices are exactly 1; and AGFI, GFI, and NFI indices are greater than 0.90. RMSEA is near-zero and SRMR is considerably low. Conclusions: As a result of the study, it was determined that the high level of nursing care perceptions and the perceived social support of patients receiving treatment in psychiatry clinics contribute positively to the ability of patients to recover.

Published: April 2023

Abstract Background/Aim: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections in children and one of the important reasons for presentation to the pediatric emergency department. This study aimed to determine demographic characteristics, complaints, microorganisms isolated in urine culture analysis, and antibiotic resistance rates in pediatric patients diagnosed with UTIs. Material and Method: The data of patients aged under 18 years, who presented to our hospital from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020 with a preliminary diagnosis of UTIs and underwent urine culture analysis, were retrospectively screened from the computer registry system. The patients’ demographic characteristics, complaints, microorganisms isolated in urine culture analysis, and antibiotic resistance were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the 286 patients included in the study was 75.5±57.65 months, and 238 (83.2%) were girls. The most common complaint at presentation was dysuria (39.9%), followed by fever (35.3%) and abdominal pain (26.9%). In urine culture analysis, the most frequently detected microorganisms were Escherichia coli (n=242, 84.6%), Proteus spp. (n=21, 7.3%), and Klebsiella spp. (n=16, 5.6%). The highest antibiotic resistance was observed in ampicillin (54.9%) and the lowest in amikacin (6.6%). Conclusion: Inappropriate treatment choices in UTIs are important in terms of complications that may occur in future. Therefore, healthcare centers should evaluate their own infectious agents and antibiotic susceptibility at certain intervals and determine appropriate empirical treatment choices. Empirically initiated treatments should be re-evaluated according to urine culture and sensitivity results.

Published: April 2023

Aims: Early-stage endometrioid-type endometrial cancer (EC) has a favorable prognosis. The recurrence is still the biggest issue. There are differences in the literature in terms of treatment modalities in early-stage. We investigated long-term survival outcomes of early-stage grade 1 and 2 endometrioid-type EC patients.
Methods: Out of 327 cases, 294 cases in stage 1 and 33 cases in stage 2 were evaluated. Age, stage, tumor size, histologic grade, degree of myometrial invasion, presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVSI), peritoneal cytology positive, presence of recurrence, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) between two groups were evaluated statistically.
Results: The mean age of 327 patients was 64.0±10.0 years. Out of 327, 65.7% were ≥60 years, 90% were stage 1, 74.6% were grade 1, 1.8% had positive peritoneal cytology, 8.3% had LVSI and 86% had ≤50% myometrial invasion. Recurrence was detected in 6.4% of patients. 40.7% of patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. Only the adjuvant radiotherapy was found a significant association between two groups. Only presence of recurrence in terms of OS and DFS durations was a significant parameter in the regression analysis.
Conclusions: Development of recurrence in early-stage endometrioid-type EC is the main prognostic predictor for survival. The early diagnosis and treatment of recurrence have a positive impact on the prognosis.

Published: April 2023

The interest of a forensic autopsy is the search for the cause of death. However, sometimes doubt suspicion persists about association with toxic substances. In this perspective, it’s important to ask whether such toxicological analyses following a forensic autopsy are important in determining the cause of death. On the other hand, ask yourself, which toxins are most frequently encountered. The question then being is to compare the results of toxicological analyses with the conclusions established during the forensic autopsy. We have tried to show that, during the search for the cause of death, toxicological analyses are essential to assess the participation of xenobiotics in the fatal process.  Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study, descriptive study on the analysis of toxicological results compared with conclusions from forensic autopsies (N=400), performed on requisition from the judicial authority of the competent territory, in the forensic medicine department (thanatology unit) of the university hospital of Sidi Bel Abbés (Algeria) during the period from January 01,2017 to December 31,2019. The sampling is carried out on different body fluids to determine how the person died. We had at our disposal blood (cardiac and peripheral), urine, gastric contents. Results: we obtained on our sample of 400, 274 males for 126 females with a sex ratio of 2.17. The minimum age was 0 days. The maximum age was 93 years, with a mean of 38 years and a standard deviation of 23 years. The natural form of death represented 41%, the unatural form (suicidal, criminal, accidental) represented 37% and the undetermined form represented 23%. According to the direct causes of death, acute cardiorespiratory distress represents the majority, i.e. 78.5%. Cardiopulmonary diseases represent the majority (28%), followed by death of traumatic origin (23.3%), death of asphyxic origin (12%) and having remained undetermined (19%). Requests for toxicological analysis of autopsies, including the establishment of the cause of death requiring the results of toxicological analysis represent (45%). Of all the results received (N=42), we found that the results that came back positive represent 43%, of which the molecules with neuro-psychotropic effects represent the majority of 50%, then alcohol (20%) and cannabis (10%). Conclusion: In current forensic practice, the performance and analysis of samples for toxicological purposes appears to be an essential step, in order to better understand the circumstances of unatural deaths, and to clarify some situations for which the cause of death does not appear obvious. The evaluation of the nature of the substances most frequently encountered in search for causes of death can be evaluated over time according to the modes of prescription.

Published: April 2023

Ethnobiology became a research trend of human-integrated biology-ethnicity to support their lives. Ethnobiology for ethnic and indigenous peoples continued to be passed down by belief in each generation—Indigenous peoples in Central Java-Indonesia, Kejawen esoteric, whose lives always coincide with ethnobiological science. A previous study reported the preliminary study of the interaction between Kejawen esoteric and wild macaques at Kalisalak Forest, Central Java-Indonesia, but it is unclear. This study is an extended version of the previous study that explains more about the human-primate interaction at Kalisalak Forest. The method used in-depth interviews with 83 householders that believed in Kejawen's esoteric faith. Ethnobiological studies discussed are in the form of ethnobotany and ethnozoology (ethnoprimatology). This study result shows that there is no visible relationship between Kejawen esotericism and the presence of wild macaques in the Kalisalak forest, as well as indigenous Kejawen esoteric really cares about the wild macaque’s population in other ways—the interaction related to supporting the biodiversity and SDGs 2030's goals.

Published: April 2023

Realizar um diagnóstico ambiental envolve compreender realidades que, reiteradamente, são conflituosas. Isto posto, optou-se por mapear o uso das terras e analisar a qualidade das águas superficiais da Bacia Hidrográfica do Córrego Laranja Doce (BHCLD), localizada no Mato Grosso do Sul, que exibe uma dinâmica territorial complexa por englobar terras indígenas, áreas urbanas, monoculturas e pecuária. Para tanto, realizou-se a análise de parâmetros físico-químicos em sete pontos de amostragem, enquadrando-os segundo as legislações vigentes, além do processamento digital de imagens, usado para classificar o uso das terras. Os resultados apontaram que os trechos avaliados se enquadraram na Classe I, III e IV, com OD reduzido e CE elevada. A área urbana de Dourados, a ETE e a agricultura se apresentaram como vetores das degradações ambientais registradas. Com isso, há necessidade de se implantar um ordenamento físico-territorial a fim de contribuir no uso racional dos recursos hídricos.
A geografia física integradora de Georges Bertrand
Authors: Neves Carlos Eduardo das , Passos Messias Modesto dos
Published: April 2023

O conceito de geossistema é constantemente mencionado no debate geográfico que articula sociedade ↔ natureza. Mesmo diante da importância do conceito para a ciência geográfica, não tem havido atenção especial ao entendimento dos diferentes legados científicos estrangeiros que suportaram a pesquisa nacional sobre o tema. Nesse âmbito, realiza-se um panorama crítico, entre 1959 e 2014, da trajetória epistemológica e das rupturas conceituais avistadas na obra do geógrafo francês Georges Bertrand, um dos principais nomes do temário e um dos responsáveis pela (re)construção da geografia física integradora. A partir de análise histórico-bibliográfica e comparativa, discute-se o(s) conceito(s) de geossistema na obra do autor e suas articulações com a paisagem/ambiente. Aponta-se que a discussão de Bertrand, apresentada em distintos períodos, foi desenvolvida para “sociedade(s)” ↔ “natureza(s)” específico(s). Assim, utilizar perspectivas conceituais pensadas para tempos e realidades particulares, sem as necessárias ressignificações teórico-metodológicas, não é fecunda para pensar o uso do geossistema atualmente.

Privatização da Eletrobras
Authors: Castilho Denis
Published: April 2023

A privatização da Eletrobras está ligada a um movimento de ampliação da proeminência financeira sobre ativos e setores estratégicos. Empresas desse porte são muito visadas pelo mercado de ações porque operam com caixas muito altos e possuem fluxo contínuo, patrimônio acumulado e a possibilidade de elevação da extração de valor por meio de regulação tarifária. Esse movimento, contudo, representa a imposição de um modelo comprovadamente ineficiente e danoso à sociedade brasileira ao retirar da Eletrobras a sua função social. Este artigo analisa o processo de desestatização da empresa desde a apresentação da primeira Medida Provisória em 2017 até a formalização da privatização em junho de 2022 na Bolsa de Valores B3, sediada em São Paulo. Apresenta também um conjunto de dados, mapas e informações que ajudam a evidenciar as estratégias pré-privatização que se concentraram especialmente em 2020 e 2021, culminando no que podemos denominar de gestão geradora (ou aceleradora) de crise como artifício de convencimento, de desarticulação do setor e de viabilização da privatização. As consequências desse processo, delineadas na última parte, expõem uma política que amplia a vulnerabilidade econômica do país bem como a sua condição de dependência e atraso.
A Geografia que pensa a indústria para um projeto de Brasil no século XXI
Authors: Pereira Junior Edilson Alves
Published: April 2023

É por meio de uma abordagem territorial que a geografia pode pensar a indústria para um projeto soberano de Brasil no século XXI. Tal proposta, num contexto de instabilidade global pós-Covid-19, deve considerar as interfaces entre as categorias espaciais e as atividades produtivas, reconhecendo que as paisagens industriais não podem ser entendidas sem a devida atenção dada ao instrumental investigativo geográfico. Com base nesses pressupostos, este texto destaca três eixos de proposições: i) o primeiro, que considera os aspectos da economia política da indústria no território; ii) o segundo, que prioriza o fenômeno industrial na relação com o espaço geográfico; e iii) o terceiro, que enfatiza o desafio ambiental e ecológico. Isso exige da geografia uma preocupação no sentido de organizar uma proposta de intervenção capaz de permitir que avanços substanciais e concretos possam de fato ser alcançados.

O artigo reúne uma análise crítica sobre a forma como National Research Council – NRC, em seu Relatório Learning to Think Spatially: GIS as a Support System in the K-12 Curriculum (NRC) apresenta o pensamento espacial em uma defesa incessante de torna-lo conteúdo geográfico e como tal processo é absorvido no Brasil como justificativa de implementação da Base Nacional Curricular Comum (BNCC), demonstrando os equívocos de uma apreensão conceitual de espaço e pensamento espacial que se vincula à Geografia Pragmática.
O imperativo da obediência constitucional ante a regularização da grilagem
Authors: Paulino Eliane Tomiasi
Published: April 2023

A atuação pública frente à destruição dos biomas ainda preservados da cerca da propriedade privada expressa um pacto de classes para o açambarcamento do bem comum em benefício de poucos. Ainda que tal propósito seja recorrente desde a gênese do Brasil, o aprofundamento do saque convida à reflexão sobre densidades e desdobramentos territoriais, razão pela qual aqui são feitas correlações com tributos, créditos e receitas agrícolas, que contradizem argumentos evocados para legitimar tais práticas. A análise está voltada à identificação de fatores conjunturais e estruturais que permitem apreender as lógicas que impulsionam o desastre socioambiental, como contraponto aos indicadores de crescimento utilizados para induzir a crença no desenvolvimento. Assim, o objetivo do texto é apontar as inconsistências e os riscos da política de regularização fundiária em curso e qualificar o debate para a retomada da pauta política e do imediato cumprimento do dever constitucional de reconhecer, proteger e destinar as terras públicas segundo os princípios da função social prescritos pela Lei Maior.

Authors: Santos Alexandre Eduardo , Moraes Peixinho Dimas
Published: April 2023

Objetiva-se neste texto, analisar o movimento de avanço da fronteira capitalista sobre os Cerrados e as Amazônias no Nordeste de Mato Grosso, a partir dos usos das terras e do processo de municipalização do território. Primeiro, faz-se uma contextualização do Nordeste de Mato Grosso como área de transição Cerrado-Amazônia, sobre a qual a fronteira capitalista se expande, considerando as contradições entre o natural e o territorial. Em seguida, apresenta-se a formação territorial do Nordeste de Mato Grosso a partir das políticas de Estado, dos usos das terras e da fragmentação do território. A municipalização do território é uma estratégia dos agentes que envolve a complexidade dos usos das terras, uma vez que são nelas que se efetivam os territórios, especialmente em área de avanço da fronteira.

Authors: Perpetua Guilherme Marini , Thomaz Junior Antonio , Garvey Brian
Published: April 2023

Este artigo destina-se à análise da expansão territorial das principais commodities agrícolas no Brasil, a partir do início deste século, destacando suas dinâmicas e fatores explicativos, em diferentes escalas, bem como algumas dentre as suas principais implicações ambientais e para o trabalho. A metodologia utilizada consistiu na revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, em diferentes meios, levantamento e análise de dados secundários disponíveis em bancos abertos e elaboração de mapas temáticos. Os resultados obtidos permitem estabelecer os nexos entre o recente avanço e territorialização das commodities e o movimento global da acumulação capitalista, em tempos de crise estrutural do capital, insuflando dinâmicas excludentes e calcadas na intensificação da pilhagem e pressão sobre os bens comuns da natureza, os recursos territoriais e o trabalho.
“Pequenas Barragens” na Política Energética: Notas Sobre Sustentabilidade e Equidade Socioambiental
Authors: Zucareli Marcos Cristiano , Zhouri Andréa
Published: April 2023

O texto reflete sobre as falácias contidas nos argumentos que defendem as PCHs (Pequenas Centrais Hidrelétricas) e as CGHs (Centrais de Geração Hidrelétrica) como fonte alternativa de energia e parâmetro para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Embora o critério tamanho possa induzir à crença na produção de impactos menores, a realidade empírica demonstra o contrário. A maior parte da energia produzida por essas estruturas é destinada aos consumidores comerciais e industriais. Projetos incidem em geral sobre biomas ameaçados, como a Mata Atlântica, e afetam áreas tradicionalmente ocupadas no sul, centro-oeste e sudeste brasileiro. Ênfase na geração de energia em detrimento da eficácia na gestão e ausência de uma perspectiva centrada na equidade socioambiental são problemas de fundo.
Quem Pode Ser Lembrado? Homenagens Mortuárias em Contexto de Políticas de Morte.
Authors: Gomes Edlaine de Campos , Bizarria Julio , Baptista Juliana
Published: April 2023

Este artigo analisa diferentes práticas de memória entre populações subalternizadas, em sua luta contra a violência e o esquecimento. Para isso, observamos os processos de produção de três homenagens mortuárias, mas também de vandalização e/ou destruição de algumas delas, erigidas por instituições e/ou movimentos sociais. Destacamos a forma como a necropolítica direcionada às populações racializadas e subalternizadas da cidade aparece como elemento central na configuração das formas de lembrança. Dentre as homenagens identificadas na pesquisa, foram escolhidas para a presente reflexão: o conjunto de estátuas em homenagem aos estudantes mortos, no que ficou conhecido como “Massacre de Realengo”; as inscrições realizadas no local onde a vereadora Marielle Franco foi emboscada e assassinada; e o monumento erguido em homenagem aos assassinados na chacina do Jacarezinho. Atentamos, particularmente, às diferenças na forma como a memória é expressa no espaço, a depender do envolvimento e dos objetivos dos agentes memoriais. Argumentamos que, na atualidade, as materialidades são centrais para a compreensão das práticas memoriais em análise, com destaque à agência dos objetos e dos grupos sociais subalternizados. Concluímos que, por sua particular posição sociopolítica, tais grupos sociais e suas práticas de memória oferecem uma oportunidade histórica para a defesa dos direitos humanos e da justiça memorial.

In the present study, a total of 273 commercial Cobb chicks were subjectively divided into seven groups to evaluate the effects of a probiotic mixture, prebiotic (Isomaltooligosaccharide), and their combination additions on growth performance, intestinal microbiome, caecal colonisation of Salmonella of broilers challenged with S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium. The groups included G01: basal diet (negative control), G02; basal diet and challenged with Salmonella on 3rd day of life (positive control), G03: received probiotic mixture in drinking water and then challenged with Salmonella, G04: received prebiotic in feed and then orally challenged with Salmonella, G05: received probiotic mix and prebiotic (synbiotic) and then challenged with Salmonella, G06: received probiotic mix in drinking water, and G07: received prebiotic in the feed. The obtained data exhibited that probiotic mixture, prebiotic, and synbiotic supplements noteworthy, upgraded growth performance, reduced total Salmonella counts, and augmented the total numbers of Lactobacillus and Enterococcus in the caeca of challenged birds compared with those of challenge untreated group. Compared to the probiotic mix and prebiotic single supplements, the synbiotic effects were notable. Also, probiotic mixture and prebiotic supplements significantly enhanced growth performance and adjusted the caecum microbial composition of uninfected birds compared with those of the uninfected untreated group. In conclusion, probiotic mixture, prebiotic, and in particular, synbiotic supplements could enhance growth performance and increase Lactobacillus and Enterococcus population counts in caeca of broilers experimentally challenged with S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium.

Published: April 2023

Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of probiotics on quality of life and depressive symptoms in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and moderate or severe depressive mood.
Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with diarrhea-predominant IBS using ROMA IV criteria and Bristol Stool Scale and moderate or severe depressive symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory comprised the study participants. The patients were randomized and divided into two groups as the medication only group and the medication+probiotic group. IBS 36 questionnaire and Beck's Depression Inventory were administered to all patients in the first and second groups and the scores were recorded.
Results: The change in IBS-36 scores from the beginning to the 10th week was significant in both groups (p<0.001). According to IBS-36 the median change from the beginning to the 10th week was 32 for the medication group, this difference was 48 for the medication+probiotic group. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). The change in Beck’s Depression Inventory scores from the beginning to the 10th week was significant in both the medication group and the medication+probiotic group (p<0.001). According to the Beck’s Depression Inventory the median change from the beginning to the 10th week was 7 for the medication group, this difference was 9.5 for the medication+probiotic group. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.001).
Conclusion: In the treatment of diarrhea-predominant IBS patients, the use of probiotics together with classical drugs will improve quality of life by reducing both gastrointestinal symptoms and psychological symptoms.
Benign Transient Hyperphosphatemia; Is awareness enough to reduce unnecessary dispatch and costs?
Authors: Parlak Mehmet , Ball Hac
Published: April 2023

Aim: This study aims to examine the etiology of benign transient hyperphosphatemia (BTH) and the necessity of further investigations in patients with elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP).
Materials and Methods: This study was carried out by retrospectively scanning the files of pediatric cases under five diagnosed with isolated ALP elevation and BTH. They were admitted to our tertiary-care hospital for various reasons in January 2017 and March 2021.
Results: A total of 47 cases were included in the study. Twenty-five (53.2%) cases were female, and 22 (46.8%) were male. The cases mainly applied in the summer and autumn seasons (72.4%). The most common age groups were 1-2 years (44.7%) and 0-1 years old (29.8%). When the laboratory values of the patients were examined, no abnormal values were observed except for ALP elevation. The median ALP value was 2211 (1019-4555) (IU/mL). The median time for ALP to return to normal was 43.5 (15-120) days. When the patients were examined according to the age group, it was observed that the elevation in the ALP level increased as the age decreased, but there was no difference between the median recovery times.
Conclusion: Transient ALP elevation is a benign and temporary condition. ALP levels usually return to normal before four months, and ALP levels may persist in sporadic patients. Transient ALP elevation has been associated with many diseases, and it is difficult to attribute its etiology to a precise mechanism. ALP elevation is usually multifactorial.
