Published: September 2023

Context: Dental caries is an infectious disease resulting in destruction of tooth structure by acid-forming bacteria found in dental plaque and intraoral biofilms, which are made up of mixed-species microbial communities, and their uncontrolled outgrowth can lead to oral disease. Aims: To analyze new biological materials (papain, pectin, three plant extracts and their combinations), for prevention, control, and treatment of oral bacteria and biofilm in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Papain, citric pectin, extracts of Carya illinoinensis, Quercus rubra, and Smilax glyciphylla were applied. In vitro test was performed by means of the spectrophotometric assay and CFU evaluation after treatments application. In vivo tests were performed to evaluate the number of microorganisms presented in dental biofilm: before and 1.5 h after brushing with different treatments; after 10 days of brushing with various treatments in 10 groups of patients, signing an informed consent approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of the Autonomous University of Coahuila. Results: In vitro, the plant extracts inhibited the growth of Streptococcus sp. as well as a mixture of microorganisms that form dental biofilms. Papain activity was inhibited by plant extracts. In vivo, brushing of teeth with selected plant extracts reduced the number of bacteria in the dental plaques. Conclusions: The extracts of Quercus rubra, Carya illinoinensis and Smilax glyciphylla and papain (with or without pectin) had an inhibitory effect on the dental biofilm formation. In vitro test demonstrated the bacteriostatic effect of plant extracts or their mixture.

Published: September 2023

Context: Oils and butter of seed from Brazilian biodiversity are extending the range of innovative products for cosmetics development. They have a fat potential similar to skin composition, leading to the improved performance of these product. Aims: Improve the emulsions spreadability through prior screening of grease composition and studying the viscosity, and the emulsions accelerated stability. Methods: Emulsions were formulated using oils from semiarid plants from Bahia: Syagrus coronate, Pachira retusa, and Pachira aquatica, so as to compare them with oils already standard in the production of cosmetics. Spreadability and stability tests were made comparing the results. The same criteria were used with Amazon seed butter: Virola surinamensis, Butyrospermum parkii, Astrocaryum murumuru, Theobroma cacao and Theobroma grandiflorum. For the emulsions screening and performance, a system was developed for oil/ butter, following tests of accelerated stability, viscosity, and spreadability. Results: The combined system of spreadability was optimized using screening. Emollients containing oleic and palmitic acids, and light chain fatty acids obtained good spreadability. The oil emulsion containing Pachira retusa and Virola surinamensis butter had a higher viscosity. Conclusions: With high content of fatty acids such as oleic, palmitic or the light chain fatty acids obtain an appropriated appearance, texture, and spreadability for cosmetic use. Thus, oils with a low fatty acid content may be combined with butter that have a high fatty acid content and vice-versa. Analyzing and strategically combining grease composition, one can optimize the performance of cosmetic formulations.

Conclusions: The polar extracts of the leaves of Vernonia auriculifera Hiern possess antimicrobial activity.
UNDERSTANDING THE NEW WAR IN THE MODERN AGE: AN ASSESSMENT ON THE RUSSIA – UKRAINE WAR
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Şennur , EMİNOĞLU Ayça
Published: September 2023

The phenomenon of war or conflict has existed since the existence of mankind. War can have various reasons such as religious, political and economic. However, with the effect of globalization after the Cold War, even if the conflicts continued throughout the world, the wars between the great states decreased to a large extent. In this context, Russia's intervention in Ukraine is a rather surprising development. Ukraine has always been an important state for Russia due to its historical and cultural ties, especially the establishment of the first Russian state near Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Even after the collapse of the USSR, Russia continued to make hidden interventions in Ukraine, which it saw as its backyard. However, starting a conventional war between the two states seemed to be a rather risky and unexpected option. But as it is seen, Russia took this risk and started a military intervention in Ukraine. The course of the intervention, the damages suffered by Russia, show that a conventional war is not very effective for the states in today's conditions. The aim of the study is to examine the beginning of Russia's intervention and the first two months of the process. The other aim of the study is to explain not only this crisis, but also the phenomenon of war and the changing elements of war today.

Authors:   , Ross Megan
Published: September 2023

In 2014, the Alaska Energy Authority is preparing to construct a hydropower dam on Alaska's Susitna River, known as the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project. Changes to water levels, sediment content, and flow rates are likely to affect the river itself and the salmon that are sustained by the Susitna ecosystem. The potential geomorphological and biological impacts of the dam as they could affect activity in the local communities are studied using currently available data. GIS tools are applied to identify areas of reservoir fill, risk of erosion, and endangerment of salmon habitat; then compare these impact areas to areas used by residents. The study intends to provide a local context whereby Alaskans can understand impacts surrounding the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project.

Published: September 2023

This study's primary objective is to empirically examine the impact of gender composition in the workforce on government revenue at the international level. The labor market is essential in accounting and economics due to its significant role in shaping an economy. This study utilizes a comprehensive dataset of observations from 202 nations globally over ten years. The study's empirical findings highlight the crucial significance of efficient governance in labor markets. The correlation between male labor force participation and government revenue highlights the importance of gender dynamics in the workforce as a potentially critical factor in economic outcomes. This observation stimulates additional investigation into the methods and policies promoting fairer and more efficient labor markets, leading to increased government income and excellent overall financial stability.
AVALIAÇÃO COMPARATIVA DA QUALIDADE DOS DADOS DE ELEVAÇÃO OBTIDOS COM GNSS, GOOGLE EARTH E SRTM PARA PROJETOS DE ESTRADAS
Authors: Diban George Miguel Farha , Bezerra Barbara Stolte , Chuerubim Maria Lígia
Published: September 2023

Obtaining terrain elevation data is essential for numerous engineering applications. However, regardless of the technique used to obtain the elevation data, there will be errors intrinsic to the instruments and to the measurement technique used, as well as depending on the model of Earth representation, which are plane, spherical or ellipsoidal. In this perspective, this work proposes a comparative approach between the elevation data obtained from the geodesic coordinates, provided by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and those obtained from Google Earth (GE) and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The data collection was carried out in the urban section between km 125 to km 145,500 of Dom Pedro-I Highway (SP-065), State of São Paulo, Brazil. The quality of the results is evaluated based on the Mean Quadratic Error (RMSE). The main results showed that the elevation data obtained through the SRTM show greater agreement or adjustment to the GNSS data when compared to the higher quality and less variation than those obtained through the GE, since they have smaller RMSE and are closer to the average elevations calculated for the highway segment analyzed. However, it is worth noting that the use of GE can be a good alternative for low-cost preliminary studies.
Nach der Kritik: Reformen im Weltsport?
Authors: Wewer Göttrik
Published: September 2023

External pressure is considered one of the factors that force organizations to reform. In the case of international sports organizations, this does not seem to be true: Although the IOC, FIFA and quite a few other federations have been criticized for years, they unwaveringly stick to their policies. Their behavior and some of the decisions they make are usually explained by a lack of decency, greed and corruption. However, this explanation falls short. The concept of meta-organization offers a better explanation of why world sports federations behave the way they do. It is not only suitable for analyzing the world of sport, but it is connectable to current debates on governance, global governance, good governance, and beyond.

Published: September 2023

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent of tuberculosis, one of the most deadly infections in humans. The emergence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant Mtb strains presents a global challenge. Mtb has shown resistance to many frontline antibiotics, including rifampicin, kanamycin, isoniazid, and capreomycin. The only licensed vaccine, Bacille Calmette-Guerin, does not efficiently protect against adult pulmonary tuberculosis. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to develop new vaccines to prevent infections caused by these strains. We used a subtractive proteomics approach on 23 virulent Mtb strains and identified a conserved membrane protein (MmpL4, NP_214964.1) as both a potential drug target and vaccine candidate. MmpL4 is a non-homologous essential protein in the host and is involved in the pathogen-specific pathway. Furthermore, MmpL4 shows no homology with anti-targets and has limited homology to human gut microflora, potentially reducing the likelihood of adverse effects and cross-reactivity if therapeutics specific to this protein are developed. Subsequently, we constructed a highly soluble, safe, antigenic, and stable multi-subunit vaccine from the MmpL4 protein using immunoinformatics. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the stability of the vaccine-bound Toll-like receptor-4 complex on a nanosecond scale, and immune simulations indicated strong primary and secondary immune responses in the host. Therefore, our study identifies a new target that could expedite the design of effective therapeutics, and the designed vaccine should be validated. Future directions include an extensive molecular interaction analysis, in silico cloning, wet-lab experiments, and evaluation and comparison of the designed candidate as both a DNA vaccine and protein vaccine.

Published: September 2023

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial, polygenic, and metabolically complicated disease. A large number of genes are responsible for the biogenesis of T2DM and calpain10 (CAPN10) is one of them. The association of numerous CAPN10 genetic polymorphisms in the development of T2DM has been widely studied in different populations and noticed inconclusive results. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the plausible association of CAPN10 polymorphism SNP-19 (rs3842570) with T2DM and T2DM-related anthropometric and metabolic traits in the Noakhali region of Bangladesh. This case-control study included 202 T2DM patients and 75 healthy individuals from different places in Noakhali. A significant association (p < 0.05) of SNP-19 with T2DM in co-dominant 2R/3R vs. 3R/3R (odds ratio [OR], 2.7; p=0.0014) and dominant (2R/3R) + (2R/2R) vs. 3R/3R (OR, 2.47; p=0.0011) genetic models was observed. High-risk allele 2R also showed a significant association with T2DM in the allelic model (OR, 1.67; p=0.0109). The genotypic frequency of SNP-19 variants showed consistency with Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (p > 0.05). Additionally, SNP-19 genetic variants showed potential associations with the anthropometric and metabolic traits of T2DM patients in terms of body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Our approach identifies the 2R/3R genotype of SNP-19 as a significant risk factor for biogenesis of T2DM in the Noakhali population. Furthermore, a large-scale study could be instrumental to correlate this finding in overall Bangladeshi population.

DNA barcoding without assessing reliability and validity causes taxonomic errors of species identification, which is responsible for disruptions of their conservation and aquaculture industry. Although DNA barcoding facilitates molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of species, its availability in clariid catfish lineage remains uncertain. In this study, DNA barcoding was developed and validated for clariid catfish. 2,970 barcode sequences from mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and cytochrome b (Cytb) genes and D-loop sequences were analyzed for 37 clariid catfish species. The highest intraspecific nearest neighbor distances were 85.47%, 98.03%, and 89.10% for COI, Cytb, and D-loop sequences, respectively. This suggests that the Cytb gene is the most appropriate for identifying clariid catfish and can serve as a standard region for DNA barcoding. A positive barcoding gap between interspecific and intraspecific sequence divergence was observed in the Cytb dataset but not in the COI and D-loop datasets. Intraspecific variation was typically less than 4.4%, whereas interspecific variation was generally more than 66.9%. However, a species complex was detected in walking catfish and significant intraspecific sequence divergence was observed in North African catfish. These findings suggest the need to focus on developing a DNA barcoding system for classifying clariid catfish properly and to validate its efficacy for a wider range of clariid catfish. With an enriched database of multiple sequences from a target species and its genus, species identification can be more accurate and biodiversity assessment of the species can be facilitated.

Published: September 2023

Obezite dünya genelinde önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur ve birçok kronik hastalığın oluşum riskini artırmaktadır. Obezite doğurganlık çağındaki kadınlarda infertilite ve polikistik over sendromu gibi sağlık sorunlarının görülmesine de neden olabilmektedir. Bununla birlikte obez gebeler daha fazla preeklemsi ve gestasyonel diyabet riski altındadırlar. Bu yüzden obez kadınlarda ağırlık kaybı hem gebe kalma ihtimalini artıracaktır hem de gebelikte oluşabilecek komplikasyonların riskini azaltacaktır. Bariatrik cerrahi ağırlık kaybı için son yıllarda yaygın olarak uygulanan bir yöntemdir. Bariatrik cerrahi sonrası ağırlık kaybı ile gebelikte oluşabilecek komplikasyonların riski azalırken, yetersiz beslenme nedeniyle besin ögesi yetersizlikleri görülebilir ve fetal gelişimini etkileyebilir. Bu sebeple bariatrik cerrahi sonrası kadınların en az 12-18 ay gebe kalmamaları, gebelik öncesinden itibaren gerekli takviyelerin alınması ve düzenli olarak takiplerinin yapılması gerekmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı, bariatrik cerrahi sonrası beslenme durumunun gebelik sürecini nasıl etkilendiğini incelemektir.

Authors:   , Escobar García Diego Alexander
Published: September 2023

Dado el actual esquema de funcionamiento de las aglomeraciones urbanas latinoamericanas, se están presentando disfuncionalidades graves en lo que a movilidad urbana de las personas y mercancías se refiere, lo cual se traduce en términos de congestión, contaminación, ruido, inseguridad social, elevados costes operacionales, etc.; es decir, un empeoramiento de la calidad del medio ambiente y de la calidad de vida de la población; sin embargo, es posible encontrar alternativas coherentes que busquen servir al derecho de la movilidad de las personas y apaciguar el tráfico urbano.
En muchas de las ciudades latinoamericanas, como consecuencia de los problemas demográficos (desmedida densificación, altas tasa de crecimiento, etc.) se han venido presentando graves problemas respecto al atraso y desorganización de los servicios de Transporte público de pasajeros, siendo poco atractivo y sólo usado por la población que en realidad lo necesita, dejando a un lado su objetivo principal, el cual es proveer una movilidad eficiente de toda la población y no un porcentaje de ella.
Una de las actuales y principales preocupaciones de la planificación urbana, es cubrir las necesidades de movilización de los habitantes, en entornos urbanos que cada día presentan mayores disfuncionalidades (altos índices de motorización, congestión, etc.), lo anterior, ha propiciado la toma de directrices que busquen por una adecuada oferta de Transporte Público, haciéndole cada vez más atractivo para el uso por parte de la comunidad.
En la presente investigación se busca comprobar si las metodologías de planificación de la Movilidad y del Transporte Público, usadas por los diferentes estudios sobre el tema en diferentes ciudades medias Colombianas, son adecuadas según características expresadas en parámetros definidores de forma de ciudad, sistemas de Transporte Público, oferta y demanda (movilidad), situación sociodemográfica, etc., realizando paralelismos entre los diferentes modelos aplicados y estudiando sus resultados. Se analizan los métodos alternativos de planificación de la movilidad que se están aplicando en la actualidad en las ciudades europeas, y se busca testar la eficacia de unos y de otros en la aplicación a la ciudad de Manizales.

Pautas de diseño para una arquitectura sostenible
Authors: Domínguez Moreno Lluis Angel , Soria Francisco Javier
Published: September 2023

El material que se presenta aquí pretende servir de referencia, tanto para el docente como para el alumno, al incorporar criterios ambientales en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las asignaturas de Proyectos Arquitectónicos. Por ello, es de suma importancia mencionar que en él se describen conceptos, se analizan procesos o se evalúan estrategias de proyecto, pero no se proponen “problemas resueltos” (como sucede en áreas exclusivamente técnicas o de ciencias exactas) como material de apoyo didáctico. Asimismo, cabe destacar que este documento es sólo una pieza de todo un conjunto de material pedagógico, que reúne información de diversas áreas de la carrera de arquitectura, como son la construcción, las instalaciones o estructuras, todas ellas complementarias e interdependientes. También es importante enfatizar el papel que juega el proyecto en la consecución de una arquitectura más sostenible. Las directrices generales para elaborar este ensayo sobre la implementación de criterios medioambientales en el proceso de diseño arquitectónico, especialmente en la etapa de prefiguración que implica el proyecto, son las siguientes: 1) Analizar, a partir de un enfoque sociofísico de la arquitectura, la incorporación de criterios ambientales considerando todas las dimensiones (éticas, estéticas o técnicas) que implica el desarrollo proyectual. 2) Enfatizar la importancia de incorporar la temática ambiental como parte integral del proceso de diseño y no como un “agregado” legal, normativo, propagandístico o de moda. 3) Destacar el papel fundamental de las etapas de formación a la hora de desarrollar una conciencia ambiental, a escala individual y colectiva.

A historical perspective on the composition of propositions Ip9 and Ip10 in Spinoza’s Ethics
Authors: Malkovich Mark ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2023

Spinoza’s Ethics is one of the most important works in Western philosophy. Unfortunately, aside from the Vatican manuscript, which is very close to the final printed version, no drafts have been preserved. In this article I shed some new light on the composition of the early draft of Ethics. I argue that there are significant reasons to believe that propositions Ip9 and Ip10 in Spinoza’s Ethics were added to the deductive argument later than the other first propositions: Ip1-Ip8 and Ip11.
Some Disputable Issues of the Chernigov Land Cities Localization(About the Location of Vorgol Birin and Zholvazh)
Authors:   Belgorod Regional Public Organization «Society of Ancient History Buffs», Chursin Dmitry
Published: September 2023

Based on the analysis of a wide range of sources, the article justifies location of South Rus’ several cities. Vorgol, known from the chronicled reports of the princes of Posem’ye struggle with the basqaq Akhmat, is related to the Volokitinsky archaeological complex on the Kleven River. It is suggested that this city was transferred from Glukhov princes to Rylsk Principality shortly before the above-mentioned events. It is shown, that mentioned in the “List of Russian cities far and near” Birin and Zholvazh were on the Psyol River: the first one – in the area of the current city of Sumy, and the second — near the village of Gornal. Special attention is paid to methodological issues of historical places localization. It is noted that neglecting toponymical data and unheeding reading of written sources, as well as uncritical perception of the scientific findings of the past centuries, can significantly distort the picture of historical reality, reconstructed by researchers.

Published: September 2023

The article publishes the results of the 2020 archaeological research on the territory of the cultural heritage site of federal significance «Nagovitsynskoye (Fileyskoye) settlement» of Kirov. In accordance with the results of archaeological excavations at the settlement, a high degree of modern anthropogenic impact on the cultural layer of the site was determined and the chronological framework of its existence in the early Iron Age was established by the late Ananyino period (the last quarter of the V–III centuries BC). Eight pits were identified in the cultural layer, five of which can clearly be attributed to modern (XX–XXI century). Along with fragments of the Ananyino ceramics, modern garbage of the XX–XXI centuries (coins, casings, slagged glass, etc.) is recorded in their filling. Cultural stratifications of the Ananyino time, IV–III centuries BC, are also recorded.

Authors: Raymond Caitlin , Dell'Osso Liesel , Golding Charles , Zahner Christopher
Published: September 2023

Context.—

Laboratories face the challenge of providing quality patient care while managing costs and turnaround times (TATs). To this end, we brought the heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) antibody test in-house with the goal of reducing costs and the time to diagnosis.

Objectives.—

To determine the cost-effectiveness and return on investment of our in-house HIT antibody test by comparing it to send-out assays with TATs of 2, 3, or 4 days.

Design.—

We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients with a HIT antibody assay and analysis of laboratory financial records. Analysis included the percentage of patients receiving alternative treatment, cost of treatment, startup costs of bringing the test in-house, and average TAT of the in-house test.

Results.—

We found significant reductions in the cost of treatment for patients and the overall cost to the health care system. The in-house assay became cost-effective at between 8 and 20 tests, with a return on investment of up to 298%.

Conclusions.—

Bringing the HIT antibody assay in-house becomes cost-effective at a very low test volume with excellent return on investment. This novel analysis can provide a framework for other laboratory medicine professionals to analyze the benefits of bringing this and other assays in-house.

Background: Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease (HFMD) is most frequently caused by Enterovirus71 (EV-A71) or Coxsackie virus A16 (CV-A16), infants and young children are at greatest risk. Describing the spatial patterns of HFMD can help develop and better target interventions. The objective of this study is to identify spatial patterns of HFMD in the first 8-months of 2023 in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Methods: The global Moran’s I statistic, Moran’s I scatterplot and local Moran’s I statistic and Boxplot will be applied to study spatial patterns of HFMD. Spatial patterns including spatial clusters (high-high and low-low) and spatial outliers (low-high and high-low) will be identified for HFMD cases and HFMD infection rates. Results: three high-high spatial clusters were mainly distributed in districts in the western region of the city such as Binh Tan, Binh Chanh, and Tan Phu. These high-high spatial clusters belonged to districts having the highest rates of HFMD infections in the city with their corresponding rates of 289, 283 and 281 cases/100,000 inhabitants, respectively. On the other hand, two low-low spatial clusters were detected in Districts 1 and 5 in the city center with their HFMD infection rates of 190 and 209 cases/100,000 inhabitants, respectively. Conclusions : findings in this study support the usefulness of boxplots, local and global Moran’s I statistics, and Moran’s I scatterplots in the identification of spatial clusters and spatial outliers of HFMD.

Authors: Wibowo Tangguh Okta , Syafuddin Khairul
Published: September 2023

Amazone Indonesia (Amazone) is the largest family entertainment destination in Indonesia, with a large area and a complete selection of games. This article explores how myths about the Amazon forest in Brazil are managed in the form of a modern family playground in a mall, Aeon. This paper examines how Amazone exploits the myth that the Amazon forest was constructed with technology as a family playground with the intended purpose. This study uses Roland Barthes' semiotic method to look at myths that are built through technology and presented in various forms of entertainment vehicles and games in Amazone. By using Baudrillard's theory of hyperreality, this paper tries to critically examine how Amazone uses the myth of the forest to "normalize" nature in the jungle to become an image of an amusement park that is fun, exciting, and entertaining for children. Overall, the results of this study reflect a simulation site that is built from the use of technology in games in amusement parks that can promote colonial ways of knowing that strengthen the distance between humans as subjects and nature as objects that are "excavated" as a playground

Various applications of SPBE have been produced by the Central and Regional Authorities and have contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness of government maintenance. Nevertheless, the results of the SPBE development show a relatively low maturity rate and a high gap between the Central Authority and the Regional Government. Based on the results of the 2018 SPBE evaluation of 616 Central and Regional Government Instances, the National SPBE Index reached a value of 1.98 with a sufficient predicate of the target SPBE index of 2.6 out of 5 levels with a good prediction. Reviewed from the access of Central and Regional Authorities, the average Central Authorities SPBE index was 2.6 with a good predicate, while the average Regional Government SPBE Index was 1.87 with a sufficient Predicate. Reviewed from the target access spread, 13.3% of Central and Regional Authorities have reached or exceeded the target SPBE 2.6 index, while 86.7% have not yet reached the SPBE 2.0 index target. This shows that there are problems in the development of the SPBE nationally. On the other hand, the development of ICT 4.0 trends is a key external factor that can drive the realization of integrated SPBE implementation and improved quality of SPBE services that make it easier for users in accessing government services. The vision is a benchmark in implementing the integrated implementation of SPBE in the Central and Regional Authorities to produce integrative, dynamic, transparent, and innovative government bureaucracy, as well as improving the quality of integrated, effective, responsive, and adaptive public services.
