Effect of the Addition of Egg White and Maltodextrin on the Characteristics of Dayak Onion Powder (Eleutherine palmifolia) by Foam Mat Drying Method
Authors: Rosda Sabila , Rosida Rosida
Published: October 2024

Dayak onion is a plant that has antioxidant content and chemical components that can be used as spices, flavor enhancers, fragrances, and food preservatives whose use is limited. Dayak onions that are easily damaged are processed into powder to make them more durable. The manufacture of powder products is carried out using the foam mat drying method with the addition of foaming agent, namely egg white, and foam stabilizer, namely maltodextrin. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of egg whites and maltodextrin on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of Dayak onion powder by the foam mat drying method. This study used a two-factor Complete Random Design (CRD) with three replicates. The observation data was processed using ANOVA at a confidence level of 5%, if there is a significant influence, a further DMRT test of 5% is carried out. The results showed that there was a significant interaction between the addition of egg white and maltodextrin in different moisture content, phenol content, and solubility. The best treatment was obtained with the addition of 8% egg white and 15% maltodextrin with 7.32% moisture content; 2.11% ash content; 51.08% antioxidant activity; 3.37 mg GAE/g phenol content; 46.65% solubility; 54.03 L; 21.00 a*; 11.43 b*; and color hedonic score 3.96 (quite red); aroma hedonic score 3.36 (slightly scented of Dayak onions); texture hedonic score 2.92 (slightly rough); 0.01% flavonoid content; and 9.35 ppm anthocyanin content.

Relevance. Mesenchymal stem-like stromal cells (MSCs) represent a promising material for the therapy of restoration or regeneration of bone and cartilage tissues in the treatment of patients with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The use of hydrogels for cultivating MSCs will make it possible to protect them after being introduced into the body from to the potentially “hostile” environment of damaged or diseased tissues. To date, the properties of MSCs in their cultivation on matrices based on natural and synthetic materials have not been sufficiently studied. The aim of this work is to evaluate the toxicity and adhesive properties of hydrogels based on polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), obtained by two technolo-gies, for MSCs from human adipose tissue (AT) in vitro. Material and methods. Four sterile PVP hydrogels were used in the experiment, differing in the technology of preparation, the presence or absence of antibiotics. Toxicity was assessed by the number of vital cells (stained with 0.1% trypan blue solution) after adding the MSC suspension to the gels after 24 h. The behavior of MSCs (AT) was studied in dynamics (on days 2 and 5 of cultivation) in terms of the rate and quality of the formed cell monolayer. Morphological analysis of cells, the state of chromatin in the nucleus, and the presence of cytoplasmic inclusions were performed in sam-ples stained with Giemsa dye. Results. As a result, it was found that human MSCs (AT) are able to attach to the surface of all 4 matrices, represented by a physicochemically modi-fied artificial material based on PVP. Non-toxicity of all 4 hydrogels and their suitability for short-term cell culture were revealed. MSCs (AT) on PVP hy-drogels with the addition of antibiotics showed slower growth, while morphological changes were observed in the form of vacuoles in the protoplasm and pycnosis in the chromatin of the cell nucleus. Conclusion. Thus, the results obtained can be used for further research and improvement of methods for analyzing the cytotoxicity of the drugs un-der development.

Authors: Leite Ana Beatriz Barreira , Santos Adailson Costa dos
Published: October 2024

O Brasil é um país com uma enorme miscigenação, mas, apesar das diferenças raciais existentes no território brasileiro, apenas em 2003 foi sancionada a primeira lei que garantia que o ensino da história e da cultura africana e afro-brasileira fosse obrigatório dentro das instituições de ensino, tanto públicas quanto privadas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo pesquisar acerca do ensino da história e cultura afro-brasileira dentro das escolas, utilizando como base a Escola Dr. Ulisses Guimarães no município de Gurupi no Tocantins. A pesquisa busca perceber como a escola aborda a temática e como os alunos absorvem o assunto. O trabalho foi realizado a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas que abordam o tema da discussão e com uma breve entrevista com o diretor da unidade escolar em questão, para conhecermos o projeto e as ações que são realizadas no decorrer do desenvolvimento do mesmo.
O ENSINO DA ARTE NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL NO PERÍODO DA PANDEMIA: ALGUMAS REFLEXÕES
Authors: Borges Domingas Pereira , Pinho Edna Maria Cruz
Published: October 2024

Este trabalho aborda sobre o ensino da arte na Educação Infantil, durante o período da pandemia provocada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, a qual implicou mudanças significativas no cotidiano da sociedade global em diversos aspectos, inclusive na educação, sendo necessário à escola aderir ao ensino remoto. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo tem como objetivo principal verificar como se deu o ensino de arte na Educação Infantil no período de ensino remoto, a partir das orientações dadas pelos órgãos reguladores para as ações emergenciais para este período e das medidas adotadas no município de Gurupi, no Estado do Tocantins. O estudo é de abordagem qualitativa do tipo descritiva, pautada na revisão de literatura, que, para o aprofundamento sobre a temática, tomou como base os autores Pedrosa (2020); Brito e Alves (2021); Gomes et al (2021); Sousa, Barbosa e Silva (2020); entre outros. A Educação Infantil é uma etapa da Educação Básica que atende crianças de zero a cinco anos de idade, em seus primeiros contatos com a escola. De acordo com a Base Nacional Comum, Curricular BNCC, o ensino de arte na Educação Infantil está inserido no campo das linguagens de Artes Visuais, Música, Dança e Teatro, como componentes obrigatórios na base curricular das escolas. Durante a pandemia e com a orientação para o ensino remoto, tomando como referência a organização adotada pelo município de Gurupi, as aulas na Educação Infantil foram ministradas com uso de ferramentas digitais como WhatsApp, vídeos, materiais impressos e plantões de atendimento para os pais e crianças. Nesse aspecto, os resultados da nossa pesquisa revelam que o ensino de arte para os pequenos no período da pandemia foi muito desafiador pelas dificuldades impostas, inibiu o desenvolvimento das interações e socializações necessárias à aprendizagem da criança e o acesso ao repertório das linguagens artísticas em processos de troca que acontecem na escola, assim como, a falta de acesso ao uso dos recursos tecnológicos disponíveis nas escolas.

Ao longo dos anos, a tecnologia vem sendo utilizada no âmbito da Saúde para fins de intervenções direcionadas a questões
de saúde pública envolvendo diagnóstico, tratamento e prevenção. O transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) é caracterizado
como um distúrbio do neurodesenvolvimento que faz parte de um grupo de Transtornos Globais do Desenvolvimento
(TGDs). Aliado a isso, os avanços tecnológicos podem favorecer positivamente a adequação de formas alternativas e
eficazes de cuidados direcionados a crianças com TEA. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se sumarizar evidências sobre o uso da

tecnologia digital no processo de cuidado em saúde de crianças com o transtorno do espectro autista. Para isso, realizou-
se revisão integrativa da literatura, com abordagem quali e quantitativa, mediante à busca nas bases de dados da Biblioteca

Virtual em Saúde e PubMed, sendo selecionados 10 estudos para a análise. A literatura reconhece que dispositivos, como
smart watches, permitem monitorar em tempo real a ansiedade, possibilitando intervenções imediatas e eficazes. A
robótica fornece dados comportamentais detalhados que aprimoram os métodos terapêuticos, enquanto protótipos
multisensores mostram-se eficazes em auxiliar no diagnóstico de comportamentos explosivos e oferecer suporte contínuo.
Adicionalmente, a realidade virtual destacou-se por estimular habilidades cognitivas e sociais em ambientes controlados
e repetitivos, promovendo o desenvolvimento infantil. Esses recursos tecnológicos não só refinam o diagnóstico e
tratamento do TEA, mas também melhoram o acompanhamento dos pacientes, apontando para um futuro promissor com
a adoção ampliada dessas inovações. À vista disso, constatou-se que as tecnologias podem auxiliar e servir como
ferramentas eficazes no acompanhamento e monitoramento em saúde no que se refere ao cuidado a crianças com TEA,
facilitando intervenções precoces e precisas por profissionais e cuidadores.

Introdução: O câncer de mama é uma das neoplasias mais comuns entre as mulheres, sendo responsável por uma
significativa parcela da mortalidade por câncer nesse grupo específico. A capacitação adequada dos profissionais que
atuam na Atenção Primária desempenha um papel essencial no fortalecimento das ações preventivas e no cuidado
relacionado ao câncer de mama. Objetivo: Investigar as práticas e as estratégias adotadas na atenção básica em relação
ao rastreamento e o diagnóstico precoce do câncer de mama. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura de caráter
integrativo, realizada no período de julho a agosto de 2024, utilizando-se a LILACS e BDENF como base de dados.
Resultados e discussão: A Atenção Básica configura-se como um importante meio de acesso aos serviços de saúde, sendo
considerada a porta preferencial para atender as necessidades de diversas mulheres, pois através dela que conseguem o
cuidado em saúde, sendo muitas vezes incentivadas pelos profissionais de saúde a realizarem exames periódicos como o
citopatológico para rastreamento do câncer de colo de útero e exames clínicos e mamografias para o rastreamento do
câncer de mama. Ainda, o vínculo e a confiança estabelecidos durante as consultas na atenção básica entre profissional e
os indivíduos, pode contribuir para o aumento da cobertura do exame de rastreio e consequentemente diminuir a incidência
de casos de câncer, incentivando a uma prevenção. Dessa forma, as experiências e interpretações individuais, sobre o
rastreamento de câncer de mama, revelam uma grande importância quando essas visões são levadas a um grupo de
discussão do assunto mencionado. Assim, o profissional de saúde desempenha um papel de grande influência durante
essas discussões em grupos. Considerações finais: O estudo revelou a importância da Atenção Básica no rastreamento e
diagnóstico precoce do câncer de mama, mostrando que essa etapa é crucial para reduzir a mortalidade associada à doença.
"To Suggest the Sound": Impressibility and the Language of Whiteness in Charles W. Chesnutt's Long Fiction
Authors: Overfelt Carly
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Charles W. Chesnutt constructs the sound of whiteness in The House Behind the Cedars and The Marrow of Tradition by situating character language within emerging frameworks of racial "impressibility." House explores the lives of two siblings, John and Rena, whose racial passing Chesnutt registers, in part, through the siblings' language practices. Marrow , on the other hand, introduces a different type of "passing" character, the cruel Colonel McBane, whose speech patterns Chesnutt associates with, and uses to critique, anti-black violence perpetrated by the "po' white" class. Both novels critique the color line by participating in the popular nineteenth-century racial discourse of sentimental biopower and impressibility, as identified by Kyla Schuller. In the biopower regime Schuller describes, racial hierarchies rest on differing capacities of bodies to absorb sensations and stimuli and adapt. In Marrow and House , these capacities are underscored through language metaphor and linguistic characterization, part of Chesnutt's complex, longstanding inquiry into the relationship between language and race.
E.M. Forster's Female Musicality: Inconclusive Counter-romance in A Room with a View
Authors: McGuckin Ryan James
Published: October 2024

Abstract: E.M. Forster's A Room with a View (1908) musically animates a "self-reflexive gender consciousness" to expose the limits of romantic female life. Employing music to confront the logics of the heterosexual marriage plot, the novel embodies a counter-romantic subtext about the desire for female independence. As such, Forster's music moves attention away from marriage and toward female hesitation about domestic identities in early twentieth-century society. Forster's own late-in-life considerations of A Room also signal that post-war disruptions provide backgazing clues to the novel's inconclusiveness over nuptial anxieties, further highlighting how ideals of heterosexual love and social inheritance obscure the aims of unrealized female selfhood.
An Assessment of an Airline Company within the Scope of Circular Economy Based Waste Management
Authors: Büyüksaatçı Kiriş Sinem , Gürül Binnur
Published: October 2024

The rapid growth in the aviation sector has prompted the industry to act and develop new and sustainable business models due to the greenhouse gases and waste generated inherently by the sector. In this context, this study provides an assessment of identifiable areas and determinants of circular economy in an airline company, considering its environmental impacts. As a result of the assessment, it has been observed that the airline company conducts initiatives in reduction, reuse, and recycling, along with the management of cabin materials and waste segregation. Action plans are in place regarding the reduction, substitution, or elimination of single-use plastics in material selection. In order to mitigate both the environmental and economic impacts of paper consumption, the company is undertaking digitalization efforts within its business processes. The weight of aircraft is a crucial factor in the amount of fuel consumed and the quantity of CO2 emissions released. Therefore, airlines prefer to use lightweight materials inside the aircraft to reduce weight. Plastic catering materials are among these lightweight options. Unfortunately, due to the adverse environmental impacts of plastics, reducing their usage and, if possible, phasing them out are essential measures that airlines need to take. Consequently, the airline company under this study has removed the plastic outer packaging of the packaged materials used in the cabin. Furthermore, it continues its efforts to remove plastic materials used during catering services or replace them with biodegradable alternatives.

Authors: Küçük Yılmaz , Altaş Emre , Bahar Hüseyin , Gök Mustafa
Published: October 2024

In this study, the effect of laser surface texturing (LST) applied to NiTi Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) on the dry sliding wear behavior of the material was investigated. After polishing and cleaning the material surface, a pitted surface texturing process was performed using a femtosecond laser under atmospheric conditions. After the surface texturing process, dry sliding wear tests were performed at room temperature. When the wear behavior of the laser-applied and non-laser-applied test samples was evaluated comparatively, it was determined that the coefficient of friction (COF) of the laser-applied samples under 1N load was approximately 17% lower. It was determined that the decrease in the COF value decreased with increasing load. However, the wear amount of the LSD-applied NiTi SMA was higher than the untreated sample. It was evaluated that this situation was due to thermal softening that occurred depending on the ablation geometry and dimensions.

absence. The study was carried out in the Large Aerosol Chamber (LAC) of Research and Production Association (RPA) "Typhoon" having 3200 m3 volume. Because of the large size of the LAC, it is possible to exclude the boundary conditions influence by chamber walls and the equipment inside the LAC on the processes under study. The LAC has two (external and internal) High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) 13 class filters installed at the entrance and inside it. First, we fill out the LAC of the atmospheric air and close it. After that, we purify the air inside the LAC by the internal filter. The number concentration of particle sizes above 15 nm decreases down to 50 particles per cm3. However, after a while, we observe increasing the particle number concentration by more than two orders of magnitude. We suppose that new formed particles due to gas-to-particle conversion were detected. We again purify the air inside the LAC by the internal filter. The particle number concentration decreased down to 10-20 particles per cm3 and remained at this low value for more than 300 hours. Our experiments indicate the necessity to use the two-stage procedure for cleaning working areas, with a time gap enabling gaseous precursors to form new particles, removable by HEPA 13 filter. Regularities of the growth of the newly formed particles from 15 nm size to cloud condensation nuclei characteristic size under controlled conditions were investigated. The observed regularities could contribute to understanding the atmospheric aerosol formation process responsible for cloudiness and precipitations.

Climate change poses a threat to the global ecosystem. Many countries adopt various approaches, including ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), to address this problem. However, the assessment of the effectiveness of the EbA interventions is conducted manually, is resource-intensive, and is focused on short-term outputs. These limitations underscore a critical gap: the need for a comprehensive, automated system that enables long-term monitoring and predictive analysis. This study aimed to address this gap by developing an innovative framework that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) devices and machine learning (ML) algorithms to continuously monitor weather, hydrological, environmental, and other variables. We conducted a thorough analysis to design an appropriate framework. In addition, to obtain the relevant information and data, we conducted interviews with the local community and collected secondary data from various sources. The proposed framework consists of five layers: (i) EbA interventions; (ii) IoT-based key performance indicators (KPI) for monitoring and evaluation (M&E); (iii) primary data collection; (iv) data storage; and (v) application. As a proof of concept, we developed a system that supports early flood and drought alerts while simultaneously providing long-term evaluations of the effectiveness of EbA strategies. The developed system consists of IoT devices and a web application integrated with machine learning (ML). We set up and tested the IoT devices before deploying them in the study area. The devices capture data for two primary purposes: (1) short-term: flood detection and alerting, and (2) long-term: drought prediction and evaluation of EbA effectiveness through continuous data analysis. This research represents a significant advancement in the automation and long-term assessment of climate adaptation measures, offering a scalable and effective solution to disaster risk reduction.
Migration Perspectives of Water Sector Cybersecurity
Authors: Kovács Attila Máté
Published: October 2024

The use of digital technologies in the water sector has proved revolutionary in water management but also opens up critical infrastructure to cyber threats, with extreme risks to public health, economic instability, and even forced migration. Therefore, this paper will address how cybersecurity vulnerabilities intersect with migration through case studies from various regions like Norway, Israel, and the United States. By looking into the above incidents, the research speaks of the cascading effects of cyber-attacks on water systems and the urgency for all-encompassing policy frameworks addressing cyber and migration. On a similar note, it points out that the intensification of cyber threats is partly due to the technological innovation era and, on the other hand, the weaknesses in cybersecurity postures. It further highlights how these emerging technologies—specifically artificial intelligence and blockchain—can improve resiliency and provide practical recommendations for implementation even in resource-constrained settings. Through this multidisciplinary approach, the research contributes to a better understanding of protecting communities and critical infrastructure from the growing threat of cyber-induced displacement.
The Haunted Theatre: Mark Ravenhill’s The Haunting of Susan A
Authors: Günenç Mesut
Published: October 2024

Different art forms such as music, light, sound, digital art, dance, painting, sculpture, ritual, and film can be part of the theatre. Through these components, theatre might be used to stage human existence, behaviours, places, historical dimensions, cultural history, emotions, passions, fears, and various narratives and experiences in the social dimension. Mark Ravenhill, focusing on the history of the King’s Head pub, famous people’s stories over ale, and the possibilities of what once could have happened in the room where the audiences are gathered, represents cultural history, passions, and fears and portrays a ghost story using light and sound techniques and various narratives related to the King’s Head Theatre in London. Ravenhill portrays a distinctive ghost and haunted story in his newest play, The Haunting of Susan A (2022). The ghost takes place in the world of Susan, and a private trauma is witnessed when Susan mentions the ghost or feels the ghost during the performance. This paper seeks to study the impact of Ravenhill’s play, which centres on the theatre’s past and, using Suzanne Ahmet’s ghost story, tries to activate audiences’ memories and fear and observe uncanny feelings in audiences. This study will explore the performance at King’s Head and the history of the pub, along with the theoretical approach of hauntology, envisaging which celebrities stopped by for an ale in the King’s Head history and Susan’s story (Suzanne Ahmet), an actress before, a real story (Susan insists) in The Haunting of Susan A.
The legend of Stratonice: A mythological aspect
Authors: Guseva Anastasiya Sergeevna , Sivkina Nataliya Yurievna
Published: October 2024

The study aims to analyze the well-known episode of the marriage of Stratonice, the first wife of Seleucus I and then his son Antiochus, in the context of the policy of consolidating society conducted by Seleucus Nicator and to determine the reasons that influenced the established description of this incident in sources. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that this story is considered as an artificially created myth that has absorbed representations of the “dying and resurrecting god”. As a result of the study, it was found that in the sources, the background of Stratonice’s second marriage is described similar to popular mythological plots and ritual practices, which suggests the artificial origin of this legend. Seleucus’s decision to give his wife to his son needed an intelligent justification, and the explanation of this step organically blended into the formation of the myth about the ruler himself and the members of his family.
Furniture from the “Forest Series” by S. T. Konenkov as an example of synthesized artistic language
Authors: Skorobogacheva Ekaterina Alexandrovna
Published: October 2024

The research relies on a comprehensive approach, a formally stylistic analysis of over 60 pieces from the “Forest Series” by S. T. Konenkov, including furniture, as well as statements by its author. The aim of the study is to reveal the multi-level synthesized nature of the works, namely the synthesis of art forms, styles, genres, technical and methodological dominants, and deep generalizations of historical and religious content. The synthesis of genres is particularly evident in the investigated cycle of works as a whole, and their complex combinations are found in a number of individual pieces of furniture. As a result, the conclusion is made that it is precisely this specificity of the artistic language that allowed the sculptor to express the deep symbolic content, preserving the centuries-old connotations of Russian national art. The research is novel in that it is the first one to analyze the multi-level synthesized character of the works of furniture in the “Forest Series” by S. T. Konenkov, namely the synthesis of art forms, styles, genres, technical and methodological dominants, and deep generalizations of historical and religious content.
The principles, content and evolution of Sergei Eisenstein’s “Granite of Film Science” curriculum for film directors
Authors: Penkovskaya Inna Igorevna , Slozhenikina Yulia Vladimirovna
Published: October 2024

The research aims to present Sergei Eisenstein’s groundbreaking curriculum for film directors, “Granite of Film Science” (1933), as a pioneering educational product and as a reflection of his aesthetic philosophy. The authors analyze the principles and content of the curriculum, as well as its subsequent evolution into “A Program for Teaching the Theory and Practice of Directing” (1936). Eisenstein, a pioneer in film directing education, developed the first curriculum for film directors, whose principles were later incorporated into his foundational works “Method” and “Montage”. He proposed a unique teaching method, namely, the directing practicum, based on collaborative work and group discussions to identify contradictions and construct artistic images. The novelty of this research lies in identifying the fundamental principles and foundations of the development of Russian and global directing education, demonstrating that any educational program is a flexible, transformable system built upon a shared pursuit of truth between teacher and student. The article also examines the evolution of the curriculum. Following its publication, “Granite of Film Science” faced both criticism and self-critique, leading to the creation of its revised version, “A Program for Teaching the Theory and Practice of Directing” in 1936. The study reveals that Eisenstein defined the principles of film pedagogy and the guiding principles of directing education at the Higher State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in his “Granite of Film Science” curriculum. This program formed the basis for a series of lectures delivered by Eisenstein at VGIK between 1933 and 1936.

The phenomenon of ‘new urban tourism’ is attracting growing scholarly attention. In many cities a strong trend is for visitors increasingly to leave the confines of tourist precincts or zones and instead to venture into new city spaces. This tendency has been linked to the growth of ‘off-the-beaten track’ tours in many urban destinations in the Global North. The aim in this paper is to explore the development of ‘new urban tourism’ in one leading tourism city in the Global South. Johannesburg inner-city is the geographical focus of the study. Using interviews with tour operators as well as tourists, the analysis charts the evolution and major features of off-the-beaten track tours in inner-city Johannesburg from their beginnings in the 2010s decade. Arguably, new urban tourists in Johannesburg are experiencing ‘edgy tourism’ as they explore spaces of an inner-city which, in recent years, has a tarnished reputation as no-go zone because of its physical decline as well as crime and grime.
