Authors: Zhu Xinyi , Kuroki Shun , Gadot Jessebel V. , Wada Aya
Published: November 2024

The use of natural substance-based supplements and treatments for mental wellness is increasingly gaining attention. Southeast Asia, with its rich heritage of medicinal practices and cultural reliance on natural remedies, presents a unique opportunity to explore such interventions. Delightex is actively collaborating with research partners in Southeast Asia to investigate natural substances that may enhance mental well-being and create enriching experiences. Memory, defined as the capacity to record, retain and recall sensory stimuli, events and information, is a fundamental aspect of mental health. Memory loss and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are significant and growing concerns worldwide, particularly due to aging populations. Nootropics are generally well tolerated and typically mild. However, occasional complications can still occur. Hence, it is important to explore more natural alternatives for memory enhancement or treatment of memory loss. In this review, following an initial comprehensive literature search on mental well-being, we focused on memory improvement, identified and summarized 57 natural substances from 31 families with potential memory-enhancing effects. This review highlights their traditional use in Southeast Asia and examines the scientific evidence supporting their efficacy in enhancing memory and potential as nootropics alternatives.

Authors: Coelho Mahara Hayden Lima , Prestes Laura Izabelle Neves , Rocha Wollace Scantbelruy da
Published: November 2024

A exposição de crianças à violência no contexto familiar acarreta implicações significativas que repercutem no desenvolvimento infantil, manifestando-se em áreas cognitivas, emocionais e/ou comportamentais. A vigente pesquisa, no entanto, aprofunda-se no fenômeno da agressividade infantil, examinando-o por meio da lente de uma saúde mental comprometida pelo convívio com a violência intrafamiliar. O objetivo geral foi investigar a agressividade infantil como expressão de uma saúde mental fragilizada pela exposição à violência no contexto familiar. E os objetivos específicos foram apontar a importância do contexto familiar no desenvolvimento infantil; identificar as formas de expressão da violência no contexto familiar e a sua relação com a agressividade infantil e discutir a associação entre saúde mental e agressividade na infância. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica com abordagem qualitativa e de caráter exploratório-descritivo. Selecionou-se as bases de dados Scielo, BVS e Google Acadêmico para a busca eletrônica, com associação dos descritores “agressividade infantil”; “saúde mental e agressividade infantil” e “exposição à violência intrafamiliar”. Como resultado, levantou-se que o testemunho à violência intrafamiliar pode ser um catalisador para problemas no desenvolvimento infantil, estando por trás da aquisição de padrões agressivos em crianças. Assim, a agressividade infantil equivale a uma reivindicação, um pedido de ajuda, para que se volte o olhar ao momento em que houve entraves no seu desenvolvimento, dando pistas de sofrimento psíquico.

Authors: Manitayakul Chutima , Sompornpailin Kanokporn
Published: November 2024

The global expansion of freight transport across business types has impacted supply chain logistics in terms of coordinating the storage and delivery of goods and services across the supply chain. Wooden pallets are in high demand due to their price and environmental impact; however, the wood raw materials needed for making pallets are in short supply. This research was aimed at analyzing the possibility of using local wood instead of imported wood in the production of standard industrial pallets. Industrial pallets were designed using local acacia wood to replace some or all of the imported Radiata pine. This local acacia wood was utilized to prepare and construct pallets of the standard dimensions that were in accordance with the designs. Pallets made from the same type of wood and mixed woods were heat treated to meet the criteria of the ISPM 15 protocol for export. Flat pallet testing was conducted in accordance with industrial standards for the evaluation of the finished products. All types of pallets, including pallets containing local wood components, showed no visible damage during drop tests and compression strength assessments. However, the variability in diagonal span rates was influenced by the wood used in the fabrication process. Pallets frabricated from both partial and full acacia wood exhibited increased bending rates of 2081 and 2650 MPa, respectively, due to the higher levels of cellulose and lignin found in acacia wood. Our research suggests that there is an opportunity to manufacture standard pallets using locally sustainable wood resources, with some modifications to current industrial processes required.

Authors: S Ms. Rajeshwari , T M Thilak , J R Mahanthesh
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the application of neuro-evolution techniques in the design of control systems for autonomous systems. Neuro-evolution merges neural networks with evolutionary algorithms to develop adaptive, real-time control strategies for autonomous platforms. This approach is particularly effective in dynamic and complex environments, where traditional control methods struggle to ensure optimal performance. By evolving neural network structures, neuro-evolution provides robust and flexible control solutions, with promising applications in fields such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, and drone navigation. The design of autonomous systems has rapidly advanced, fueled by the need for intelligent, adaptive control in environments that are complex and unpredictable. Traditional control systems often lack the flexibility required to handle dynamic changes, making them less effective in highly variable conditions. Neuro-evolution, which combines neural networks with evolutionary algorithms, offers a promising solution by enabling autonomous systems to develop and refine control strategies on their own. This approach leverages evolutionary principles to optimize neural network architectures, producing control systems that adapt in real-time and improve through experience. Neuro-evolution has gained significant attention for applications in robotics, self- driving vehicles, and aerospace, where autonomous, robust control is essential. This paper explores the role of neuro-evolution in enhancing control design, focusing on its advantages over conventional methods and its potential to drive further innovations in autonomous systems.

Published: November 2024

The Automatic Waste Segregation System aims to enhance waste management practices by efficiently sorting waste into three categories: wet waste, dry waste, and metallic waste. Utilizing advanced sensor technologies, this system leverages an LM393 IC moisture sensor to detect the moisture content in waste, effectively identifying wet organic materials such as food scraps. Additionally, an infrared (IR) sensor is employed to distinguish dry waste, including paper, plastics, and textiles, based on the reflective properties of the materials. To further enhance the sorting process, a metal detector is integrated to identify and segregate metallic waste, ensuring that recyclables are collected accurately. The automation of waste segregation not only reduces the manual labor involved in traditional waste sorting methods but also increases the accuracy and efficiency of the process. This system is designed to operate autonomously, with real-time monitoring and feedback mechanisms that allow for seamless integration into existing waste management infrastructures. The collected data on waste types can be utilized for further analysis, enabling municipalities and organizations to develop more effective waste disposal and recycling strategies. By implementing this Automatic Waste Segregation System, we aim to address the growing challenges of waste management, reduce landfill dependency, and promote recycling and resource recovery. This innovative approach aligns with global sustainability goals, contributing to cleaner environments and enhanced waste resource management. The project has the potential to significantly improve waste processing efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and foster community awareness regarding the importance of proper waste segregation.

Authors:   Global Institute of Science & Technology, Ghosh Mousumi
Published: November 2024

Education is the backbone of a country. Education also plays vital role to upload national unity. Thus education policy always plays a congruent role in the spread of education in a country. Education policy acts as a basic requirement of a country. Any education policy sets on the analysis of the past. It deals with the need of the present days and also focuses on the possibilities of the future. Like the other countries, India also felt the need of a well- planned education policy to ensure all-round development of our society at large. The new education policy of India enlightens preservation as well as development of all Indian languages but the problem lays in the fact that India being a multilingual and multicultural country will select which particular language as a medium of instruction in the education system. NEP 2020 for the first time harps on introducing mother tongue as a medium of instruction at the primary level. All the relevant aspects of language issues are carefully integrated from paragraphs 4.11 to 4.22 very carefully under the heading ‘Multilingualism’ in NEP 2020. The inclusion of many vernacular languages in educational curriculum will definitely protect endangered languages in India. It will also help the students to be connected with the culture of the nation. Indirectly, this will help our students to increase qualitative creative skills. NEP 2020 has proposed to implement ‘Three-Language-Formula’ to promote multilingualism from the school level. The objective of NEP 2020 is to make the students proficient in different languages and also know the mother tongue to be respectful and knowledgeable about the ancient literature. The objective of this study is to identify the necessity of new education policy (NEP 2020) and its impact on education system of our country for holistic development of the students from primary to higher education. Key Words: Education system, Multilingualism, Multicultural, Holistic Development, Three-Language Formula.

Tsovinar: Evolution of the Character from Primordial Chaos to the Armenian Epic Heroine
Authors:   Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences, Republic of Armenia, Vardumyan Gohar , Tokhatyan Karen ,   Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences, Republic of Armenia
Published: November 2024

Tsovinar is the foremother of the heroes of the Armenian epic “Sasna Tsrer” (“Daredevils of Sassoun”), which was formed during the period of Arab invasions of Armenia in the 7th—9th centuries and the people’s struggle against the caliphate. There is no comprehensive study about her as the most archaic character of the epic, meanwhile, a fresh interpretation based on historical-comparative analyses and retrospective reconstruction can reveal the entire process of evolution of her multi-layered image. The prototype of Tsovinar is rooted in the primordial Chaos and the Heavenly Sea. Then, turning into the personification of thunder and lightning, Tsovian, over time, transforms into the water goddess Nar. Her next evolution is Nuard, the wife of King Ara the Handsome, with whom they constitute the feminine and masculine principles. Tsovinar also goes back to the goddesses Anahit and Astghik. All those manifestations are reflected in archeological evidence. In the Christian Middle Ages, mythological characters merged into Great Mother Tsovinar — beautiful, wise, selfless, and invincible, getting her strength from nature. In the epic, she is the daughter of king Gagik. Her descendants built an indestructible fortress and determined the world order, defending their homeland and restoring its independence. Having originated from time immemorial and undergone various transformations over thousands of years, Tsovinar becomes a symbol of the struggle for a kind and just world, and is unique for her eternity, vitality and significance in the time continuum of Armenian history.
On the Issue of the Eastern Segment of the Alimentary Heritage of Sicily
Authors:   Center of European Researches, N. N. Miklukho-Maklai Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Fais-Leutskaia Oxana
Published: November 2024

The study addresses one of the most extensive and still vital “offspring” of the medieval acculturation of Sicily — the “eastern segment” of the region's traditional cuisine; fueled by various sources, it was formed under the influence of various historical events. The study aims to reconstruct, through an appeal to food recipes that have not yet been fully studied, medieval ethnocultural contacts in the Mediterranean, which left a mark on the culture of Sicily. Along with this, the first attempt in scientific discourse is made to identify in the cultural and historical anthropology paradigm the reasons for such a high “predisposition” of the region to acculturation and oriental influences (which qualitatively distinguishes it from other objects of oriental expansion in Europe). Using the methods of structural and functional analysis, the author relies on theoretical and methodological principles developed in the depths of anthropology in relation to the phenomena of acculturation, cultural exchange, etc.; turning to history allows us to reconstruct the fundamental patterns of cultural borrowing processes, and the regional approach — to correlate theoretical conclusions with the realities of the studied region.

Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Institute of History, Mikhaylova Elena , Sobolev Vladislav ,   Saint Petersburg State University, Institute of History
Published: November 2024

Fibulae are a very rare find in medieval Novgorod land. Which is why the information about the discovery of two crossbow-shaped fibulae in a compact microregion in the South-Eastern Сhudskoe (Lake Peipus) basin seemed all the more surprising. Archival studies confirmed that only one fibula had been found (near the village Lubotezh); the information about the second find (near the village Gorodnya) was not found in the sources. The find is considered in the context of analogies originating from adjacent territories, for which these artifacts are typical.

Authors: Zakaria Zukarnain , Samivaloo Christina Micheal , Ismail Mohd Roslan , Arumugam Vijayesvaran
Published: November 2024

Nurses' knowledge, facilitators, and barriers related to Evidence-based Practice (EBP) are among the main issues that may determine the readiness of nurses to practice EBP it in their clinical settings. To identify factors that facilitated or hindered the adoption of EBP and to evaluate nurses' readiness to implement EBPs for evidence-based decision-making. The quantitative study involved 300 nurses currently working in the organization studied and used Rogers' diffusion of innovation theory to evaluate the factors that promote or hinder the implementation of EBP in their work settings. The data were gathered using a questionnaire and has been analyzed descriptively and inferentially, specifically using one-way ANOVA and regression analysis. Simple regression analysis showed a significant link between nurses' knowledge of EBP and facilitating factors on their readiness to implement EBP. Multiple regression confirmed that knowledge of EBP significantly influences nurses' readiness. While job positions had an insignificant impact, years of experience moderately influenced EBP readiness, and higher qualifications were positively correlated with readiness. The moderating effect of facilitating factors or barriers was not significant. The findings suggest that nurses' readiness to implement EBP is more influenced by their knowledge of EBP than by the barriers they face or the facilitating factors they receive. Nurses' knowledge towards EBP are crucial in determining their readiness to implement EBP in the healthcare settings. Hence, the healthcare organizations should emphasize improving their knowledge and ability to evaluate evidence by providing adequate education, training and support, develop protocols and guidelines and to fortify EBP readiness.

Introdução: A sedação é uma estratégia farmacológica para auxiliar os pacientes que estão sob ventilação mecânica na UTI, sendo o midazolam um dos principais medicamentos administrados para dar conforto ao paciente, bem como permitir a adequada realização de procedimentos invasivos. Neste contexto, para avaliar e monitorar a agitação do paciente com valores atribuíveis conforme a sua sedação, uma ferramenta frequentemente utilizada é a escala de agitação-sedação de Richmond (RASS). Assim, esta pesquisa se propõe a avaliar as doses prescritas de midazolam em pacientes sob ventilação mecânica na UTI, justapondo com a classificação da RASS. Este estudo foi realizado na unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) de um hospital universitário no período de março a maio de 2023. Foram coletados dados gerais relativos aos participantes da pesquisa, dose e vazão do midazolam EV na prescrição e avaliação da sedação pela escala de RASS nos registros de médicos e enfermeiros. No total, 145 prescrições foram analisadas e observou-se que 83% destas apresentavam doses acima da dose prevista, calculada conforme o peso do paciente. Ao analisar-se o nível de sedação, observou-se discrepância entre os registros dos profissionais de saúde (médicos e enfermeiros) bem como sedação profunda para a maioria dos pacientes analisados. Assim, o estudo evidenciou o uso de midazolam em elevadas doses, divergências entre as avaliações de sedação descritas por profissionais e vários pacientes em sedação profunda, o que pode repercutir no aumento de tempo de internação e mortalidade. Neste contexto, a atualização e treinamento de protocolo clínico, bem como a inserção do farmacêutico nessa prática, são estratégias vitais para a otimização dos recursos hospitalares e o sucesso terapêutico.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal analisar a regulamentação do trabalho dos motoristas de aplicativo, considerando a natureza jurídica da relação entre empresas e motoristas. Dada a crescente relevância dessa modalidade de trabalho nos últimos anos, torna-se necessário discutir a ausência de uma regulamentação específica, o que pode acarretar na precarização dos direitos e garantias dos trabalhadores. Para esclarecer os pontos controversos sobre essa relação, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com base na Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho (CLT), doutrina, jurisprudência e projetos de lei sobre o tema. A partir dessa análise, pretendemos demonstrar que os parâmetros da CLT são insuficientes para regular essa nova realidade, evidenciando a urgência de uma legislação específica que assegure a proteção social e os direitos trabalhistas dos motoristas de aplicativo.

Compreender o impacto que o esporte pode gerar em um indíviduo, um grupo de indíviduos, uma comunidade e até no mundo tem se tornado um tema cada vez mais relevante na sociedade. Os estudos sobre competências têm avançado nas últimas décadas, mas pouco se investiga o desenvolvimento de competências em outras esferas da vida aplicáveis ao ambiente organizacional. Este estudo explora como a prática de esportes promove o desenvolvimento de habilidades de vida, também chamadas de life skills pela Psicologia e de soft skills pela Administração, passíveis de serem aplicadas em outros âmbitos da vida,  através da análise da percepção dos indivíduos sobre o desenvolvimento, potencialização e transferência dessas competências para o contexto organizacional. Os resultados indicam que certas competências desenvolvidas no esporte são transferidas para o ambiente profissional, embora com limitações. A contribuição do estudo está na identificação de competências comuns entre a prática esportiva e organizacional e na proposta de possíveis formas de diálogo entre esses dois universos.

As Empresas de Pequeno Porte e Micro Empresas em números, representam a maioria das empresas presentes no nosso território. O Governo Federal em 2006 com o intuito de desburocratizar, colaborar com benefícios fiscais e propor simplificação administrativa para os empreendedores criou o Simples Nacional. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em analisar os efeitos do Simples Nacional sobre as empresas optantes, sobre a arrecadação tributária e a geração de emprego. A análise dos dados é feita por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, realizando uma pesquisa descritiva, buscando referências na literatura, opiniões de autores a respeito do tema deste trabalho e através de uma análise de dados obtidos pelo SEBRAE e pela Receita Federal do  Brasil. Os resultados mostram que o Simples Nacional elevou a arrecadação dos entes governamentais, porém possui um impacto da renúncia fiscal, reduziu a mortalidade das empresas e tirou as mesmas da informalidade, no entanto se verifica que a carga tributária interfere nos lucros e na contratação de novos empregados.
