Authors: Coêlho Matheus Diniz Gonçalves , Bonito Hilary Rodrigues
Published: February 2022

Introdução: Urbanorum spp, que é classificado como pertencente ao Filo Sarcomastigophora, possui um exoesqueleto recoberto por uma membrana dupla, composta por um ou dois poros de saída, por onde são liberados seus pseudópodes, que auxiliam em sua movimentação. Seu tamanho pode variar de 80 a 100 mícrons. Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo definir o perfil epidemiológico de Urbanorum spp. em cidades da região metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba. Material e métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo cujos dados foram coletados em laboratório privado que atende a região, no qual 2.777 amostras fecais foram avaliadas pela técnica baseada no protocolo de Hoffman, Pons & Janner, das quais 252 apresentaram estruturas compatíveis com Urbanorum spp. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que o município com maior incidência foi Guaratinguetá, com 15,3% de amostras positivas, seguido de Pindamonhangaba (10,2%) e Taubaté (9,9%). Quanto ao perfil epidemiológico, houve predomínio de amostras positivas para Urbanorum no sexo feminino, com 61,9% do total de positivos e na faixa etária entre 41 e 59 anos, representando 34,5% das amostras. Conclusão: Foi possível observar uma elevada prevalência de Urbanorum spp. na região do estudo, porém, apesar do caráter inédito dos resultados aqui apresentados, que podem ser úteis para uma melhor compreensão dos aspectos epidemiológicos relacionados ao Urbanorum spp., é de fundamental importância que sejam utilizadas ferramentas avançadas de diagnóstico biomolecular, a fim de comprovar a real natureza biológica das estruturas identificadas, haja vista o fato de que ainda são escassos os trabalhos que caracterizaram, confirmaram e classificaram Urbanorum como sendo um ser vivo protozoário.

Authors: Babina E.V. , Artemenko S.A. , Grankin K.N. , Petrov P.P.
Published: February 2022

We present the results of spectral and photometric monitoring of the classical Tauri star RY Tau, which has been carriedout since 2013. It is shown that the relative roles of accretion and wind varied smoothly over eight years, indicating a changeeither in the global magnetic ﬁeld of the star or in the mass accretion rate. We suppose it may be a tool to reveal a possiblecycle of magnetic activity at the early stages of stellar evolution.

We studied the dynamic evolution for pairs of trans-Neptunian objects in close orbits with semi-major axes of more than30 au. Early have been found 26 pairs of trans-Neptunian objects. All pairs belong to cold Classical Kuiper belt objects.The dynamic evolution of pairs of trans-Neptunian objects in the past 10 Myr has been studied numerically based onnominal orbits. We searched for low relative-velocity close encounters between trans-Neptunian objects in pairs as well asthe minima of the Kholshevnikov metrics and the convergence of the lines of nodes and apses to estimate the age of thepairs.
Radio pulsars — two old questions
Authors: Beskin V.
Published: February 2022

We draw attention to two questions in the theory of radio pulsars, which have not yet found their answer. The ﬁrstone concerns the inclination angles χ between magnetic and rotation axes. We show that the very existence of interpulsepulsars indicates that all possible angles are realized. The second one is the question of the break of the death line on theP Ṗ -diagram. We show that this break can be easily explained by the very mechanism of secondary plasma generation.

CME acceleration in impulsive (X6.9 09.08.2011) and gradual (M3.7 07.03.2011) solar flares
Authors: Struminsky A. , Sadovski A. , Grigorieva I.
Published: February 2022

We analyze solar events associated with ﬂares: gradual — M3.7 on March 7, 2011 and impulsive — X6.9 on August 9, 2011.These ﬂares were accompanied by hard X-ray (HXR), microwave (MW) and > 100 MeV gamma radiation, fast coronalmass ejection (CME). Estimates of the magnitude and duration of acceleration for CME were obtained from the conditionof stitching the assumed uniformly accelerated motion and the observed uniform motion. These estimates indicate that theCME should have been accelerated signiﬁcantly longer than the estimated minimum time, at least more than 30 min. Theobtained mean values and duration of CME acceleration do not contradict CME acceleration in two phases— impulsive andprolong. The largest bursts of HXR and MW radiation were observed both during the CME impulsive acceleration (X6.9ﬂare on August 9, 2011), and after it (M3.7 ﬂare on March 7, 2011). This shows that the acceleration processes of chargedparticles in ﬂares do not depend on the magnitude of the CME acceleration. The average CME velocity deduced from theSOHO/LASCO observations at 20R ⊙ in the high corona 2034 km/s on March 7, 2011 and 1506 km/s on August 9, 2011suggests that a residual decelerating force acting on CME on August 9, 2011 was larger.

Authors: Avdeeva A. , Kovaleva D. , Malkov O. , Nekrasov A.
Published: February 2022

The distribution of visual interstellar extinction A V has been mapped in selected areas over the Southern sky, using RAVEDR6 and Gaia EDR3 data. A V was modelled as a barometric function of galactic latitude and distance. The functionparameters were then approximated by spherical harmonics. The resulting analytical 3D model of the interstellar extinctioncan be used to predict A V values for stars with known parallaxes, as well as the total Galactic extinction in a given locationin the sky.
Candidates to visual binaries with non-coeval components
Authors: Malkov O. , Kniazev A.
Published: February 2022

All possible scenarios of binary star formation lead to construct a pair with components of the same age. The only exceptionis the capture, a phenomenon thought to be rather rare. However, in some regions (e.g., in the densest stellar clusters or inthe central part of the Galaxy) the probability of the capture increases. In the paper we study several candidates to binarysystems with diﬀerent ages of components. Their evolutionary status requires further investigation.

Recognizing the fact that autistic kids usually have troubles socially and focusing on academic studies, this research attempts to give a more insightful perspective on the ethnic way of helping autistic kids through technologies [4]. The core idea of this paper is to find a way of helping the autistic kids to maximize their potential instead of accommodating this society using assistive tools. Holding the responsibility of sharing the advantages in this society, this application is built to the end of using a general value to connect level of focus to level of reward. This solution is achieved by three steps: Designing a text box with different variables that evaluates focus level, calculating the level of reward based on achievements on the variables, and the game begins with different hardness according to the level of reward. The results show that the designed application increases the focus level of the kids and their willingness to communicate surprisingly.

Published: February 2022

In the elevator industry, reducing passenger journey time in an elevator system is a major aim. The key obstacle to optimising elevator dispatching is the unpredictable traffic flow of passengers. To address this difficulty, two main features must be optimised: waiting time and journey time. To address the problem in real time, several strategies are employed, including Simulated Annealing (SA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSO), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). This research article compares the algorithms discussed above. To investigate the functioning of the algorithms for visualisation and insight, a case study was created. In order to discover the optimum algorithm for the elevator dispatching problem, performance indices such as average and ideal fitness value are generated in 5 runs to compare the outcomes of the methods. The goal of this study is to compute a dispatching scheme, which is the result of the algorithms, in order to lower the average trip time for all passengers. This study builds on previous studies that recommended ways to reduce waiting time. The proposed technique reduces average wait time, improves lift efficiency, and improves customer experience.
Perceptions of young males at the Free State School of Nursing with regards to teenage pregnancy
Authors:   , Madlala Siphiwe Themba
Published: February 2022

Introduction Teenage pregnancy is a socioeconomic challenge and an important public health problem for communities in South Africa. Considerable research has been done on teenage pregnancy in South Africa but it focused mostly on teenage girls. Aim of the study The aim of the study was to explore and describe young males’ perceptions, to identify the roles they play in this phenomenon and to determine the factors that influence their perceptions as well as their practices regarding teenage pregnancy. Methodology A qualitative, explorative, descriptive design was used to conduct the study. The study was guided by the Johnson Behavioural Model System. The study population consisted of young males who were studying at the Free State School of Nursing. Data saturation was achieved after interviewing 10 participants. The four major themes emerged from data obtained were as follows: Theme 1: Perceptions regarding teenage pregnancies, Theme 2: Risk factors leading to teenage pregnancies, Theme 3: Cultural and traditional practices influencing perceptions about teenage pregnancies, Theme 4: Measures to prevent teenage pregnancies. Thematic analysis of data was done. Results The findings of this study revealed that young males were not involved in reproductive health programmes aiming to prevent teenage pregnancies. They lacked knowledge regarding the use of, and the available types of contraceptives. Cultural and traditional practices such as misinterpreting circumcision and cultural beliefs, including misconceptions about sexual practices, played a crucial role such as not using contraceptives during sexual intercourse that could lead to teenage pregnancy. This study recommends that young males need to be actively involved in reproductive health.
Impact of vitamins B12, B6 and folate supplementation on cardiovascular risk markers in an elderly community of Sharpeville
Authors:   , Grobler Christina Johanna
Published: February 2022

Background: In a vulnerable low-income group with a confirmed high risk of cardiovascular disease, like the elderly in the Sharpeville care centre, an acute intervention is needed in order to improve their health profile. Previous studies suggested homocysteine lowering by vitamin B12, B6 and folate supplementation. The effect of vitamin B12, B6 and folate supplementation on the inflammatory response, thrombotic risk, lipid profile, hypertension, risk of metabolic syndrome and homocysteine metabolism in an elderly, black South African population has never been reported. Objectives: The main aim of this interventional study was to assess the effect of vitamins B12, B6 and folate supplementation at 200% RDA for six months on cardiovascular risk markers of an elderly semi-urbanised black South African community. Design: This study was an experimental intervention non-equivalent control group study design in 104 purposively selected samples of all the elderly attending the day-care centre. Setting and participants: A homogeneous group of respondents was included in the study. All subjects were equivalent in age (>60 years), race (black), unemployed/pensioners (socio-demographic) and 60 years and older attending a day care centre in Sharpeville, situated in the Vaal region, Gauteng, SA. Measurements: The distinctiveness of this study lies in the broad panel of parameters evaluating the CVR in correlation with the increased nutritional intake of vitamin B6, B12 and folate. These included: weight, height, waist, serum cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, blood pressure, fibrinogen, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS–CRP), homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate, glucose, insulin, adiponectin and fibronectin. Results: A very high incidence (66.36%) of hyperhomocysteinaemia is present in the sample. The mean serum homocysteine level in hyperhomocysteinaemic individuals decreased statistically significantly from 25.00±8.00 umol/l to 18.80±12.00 umol/l after the intervention. The number of respondents with an increased homocysteine level decreased from 100% (baseline) to 67% (follow-up). The supplementation was beneficial (statistically significant changes) to the glucose levels, fibrinolytic status, vitamin B6 serum levels, fibronectin levels and haemopoeiesis (decreased macrocytosis) of all the individuals (regardless of their homocysteine status). Conclusion: It is concluded that supplementation of vitamins B6, B12 and folate at 200% RDA for six months is an effective homocysteine-lowering approach as a strategy to reduce hyperhomocysteinaemia in an elderly population and thereby reduce cardiovascular risk (CVR). The supplementation intervention mentioned is not an effective multifactorial strategy to decrease CVR although beneficial effects were found with other CVR markers independent of homocysteine status.
An investigation of the professional relationship between somatologists and medical professionals practicing non-invasive aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine in eThekwini
Authors:   , Nkwanyana Sinegugu
Published: February 2022

Background Internationally medical professionals have become increasingly aware of services that somatologists offer as adjunctive interventions. These include pre-surgery preparative and post-surgery maintenance treatments to enhance client recovery time and experience. This practice has led to the increasing utilisation of aestheticians/somatologists in medical practices internationally. In turn, the demand for aesthetic procedures has sparked great interest amongst medical professionals, more specifically dermatologists. Conversely, within the South African context, specifically KwaZulu-Natal, Vosloo (2009) revealed a poor response regarding the referral practices between medical professionals practicing non-invasive aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine, and somatologists. Thus a paucity of literature limits our understanding of the role and placement of somatology services, as well as the referral practices and their impact on the client within the medical practice. Aim: To determine whether a professional relationship currently exists between somatologists and medical professionals within the eThekwini area, in order to support the development of effective inter-professional relationships which promote higher procedure success rates and reduced client recovery time. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out in eThekwini. A total of 579 questionnaires were issued. The final sample size consisted of 172 somatologists and 21 medical professionals. The response rates were 31% and 81% respectively. A self-selection sampling technique was used. Structured questionnaires were hand-delivered to the participants’ work setting. Data was analysed using SPSS version 21.0. Descriptive statistics were used to describe quantitative data. Correlation and regression analysis were used to determine the relationship between actual dimensions of two variables at a time. Results: Currently 91% of medical professionals refer aesthetic treatments to somatologists through word-of-mouth. High levels of awareness were revealed amongst medical professionals with regards to the somatology treatments/services beneficial in a medical practice. All medical professionals felt that further information regarding the somatology curriculum was necessary. Somatologists preferred to establish a referral relationship with dermatologists. A lower referral relationship (55%) was revealed by this group. Conclusion: Currently, a collaborative relationship between dermatologists and somatologists exists within the eThekwini area. Regulation of the somatology profession is crucial in order to promote this growing relationship.
The impact of access to antenatal care on maternal health outcomes among young adolescents on the North coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors:   , Govender Trishka
Published: February 2022

South Africa, like many other developed countries, is challenged by the under attendance and delay in initiation of antenatal care (ANC) services among pregnant adolescents. Adolescents are more vulnerable to pregnancy related complications, which may contribute to maternal and child mortality and morbidity. This study aimed at evaluating the under attendance and/or delay in initiation of ANC services among young pregnant adolescents (13-16 years old) as a risk for adverse maternal and birth outcomes. The research was based at a district hospital on the North Coast of Kwazulu-Natal. A retrospective review of all young adolescent (13-16 years old) maternity case records for the period from 2011-2013 was conducted. Data collected included ANC trends in attendance, obstetric and perinatal outcomes. A total of 314 pregnancies were recorded among young adolescents at this single hospital over a period of 3 years. Adolescent pregnancy was associated with a risk of late ANC booking and reduced ANC visits. The prevalence of anaemia (32%) was relatively high among the girls. Fifty percent of all adolescents received episiotomies while, 45(14%) experienced perineal tears. Logistic regression models found that the condition of perineum was significantly associated with HIV status (OR= 0.36; 95% CI=0.16; 0.84; p<0.05). HIV positive mothers were more likely to have an intact perineum post-delivery. However, HIV positive adolescents were twice as likely to be diagnosed with anaemia compared HIV negative mothers (results not significant). Underutilisation of ANC (i.e less than 4 visits) was significantly associated with lower gestational age (< 37 weeks) (OR=2.64; 95% CI=1.04; 6.74; p<0.05). Fifteen percent of young mothers delivered early (< 37 weeks), 10% delivered babies with a low birth weight (< 2500g) and 15% of the neonates suffered fetal distress. Low birth weight, low Apgar scores as well as the incidence of maternal anaemia and Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) were found to be related to late ANC booking. Qualitative findings highlighted the perceived barriers of ANC by pregnant adolescents. Interviews identified the following as factors that hindered access of care; financial barriers, attitudes of Health Care Workers (HCW), system barriers and fear of HIV testing. Urgent population based strategies are required to encourage timeous initiation of ANC among adolescents. Strengthening of health education programs on the benefits of ANC attendance among adolescents can be utilized as part of an approach to address the current public health concern.

“MORRE, DESGRAÇADO” DE DALTON TREVISAN À LUZ DO CÓDIGO PENAL BRASILEIRO
Authors: Diniz Rhay Fernando Melo , Claro Larissa Aparecida dos Santos
Published: February 2022

Este estudo, pautado na interpretação jurídico-literária do conto “Morre Desgraçado” de Dalton Trevisan e parte do ordenamento jurídico pátrio, teve como objetivo analisar o conto a partir da figura de excesso em legítima defesa e seus riscos de imputar o excesso à mulher vítima de violência. Considerou a legislação brasileira vigente, numa reflexão racional da lei em face do objeto extraído do conto, e um projeto de lei capazes de alterar os rumos da Lei Penal Brasileira e seus efeitos práticos na sociedade, principalmente na vida da mulher vítima de violência. Optou-se pela abordagem qualitativa, vez que o objeto estudado no que tange ao excesso é de grande subjetividade e discussão no mundo jurídico. No interesse pela busca de respostas, aliou-se à pesquisa explicativa e à pesquisa bibliográfica no próprio conto, no Código Penal comentado de Cezar Roberto Bitencourt, na Constituição Federal de 1988, no Código Penal Brasileiro (Decreto-lei nº 2.848/1940), no Projeto de Lei nº 882/2019 e na Lei Maria da Penha (Lei 11.340/2006). O estudo revelou que é perigoso imputar à mulher o excesso em defesa se considerar todos os elementos já conhecidos acerca das diferenças entre o homem e a mulher, bem como pela incoerência da legislação brasileira por ora tratar a mulher com lei especial e em outro momento de forma comum a fim de condená-la por resquícios de conduta ao legitimamente se defender do agressor que lhe ameaça.

Abstract—Biometric technology is developing to be the most relevant mechanism in identity identification. The main purpose of an identity management system is to be able to establish a relationship between individuals and their identities when needed under certain conditions. Among the newly proposed identity verification and personal identification technologies, biometrics is rapidly becoming the most relevant mechanism for identity recognition. This study proposes a new biometric recognition method for authentication and personal identification. Palm image recognition based on image processing for authentication and personal identification is proposed, namely competitive coding using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) texture extraction with hyperparameter modifications. The dataset used comes from the Birjand University Mobile Palmprint Database (BMPD) which consists of 20 classes with a total of 800 palm images. The research was conducted using a data distribution of 80% training data and 20% validation data. The tests carried out resulted in a good accuracy value of the proposed model of 93.3% for the training process and 90.6% for the validation process.

Abstract - Some large vehicle workshops that has a capacity of tens to hundred usually already computerized in matters relating to billing, item order, and other vital transactions, but not many of them pay attention to the problem of recording their capacity reports which sometimes this trivial thing can hamper their performance. Many workshops only record vehicles come and out without checking their workshops capacity, at same time most of flow system in workshop didn’t expect if vehicle didn’t taken by their owner even though the vehicle has been repaired, while slot at system already empty but in reality it’s still filled which cause pile up when workshop crowded or full. To solve that problem the author designing a program using the waterfall method which has five stages namely Communication, Planning, Modeling, Construction, and Deployment. With this program it’s can make worker easier to record, manage, even make report, also to watch over where the location of vechile rather than when they used note books which make them harder when looking for data or manage if they make mistake in record etc..

Intisari - Beberapa bengkel kendaraan besar yang berkapasitas puluhan hingga ratusan biasanya sudah terkomputerisasi dalam hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan billing, pemesanan barang, dan transaksi vital lainnya, namun tidak banyak yang memperhatikan masalah pencatatan laporan kapasitasnya yang terkadang hal sepele ini bisa terjadi. menghambat kinerja mereka. Banyak bengkel hanya mencatat kendaraan yang keluar masuk tanpa memeriksa kapasitas bengkelnya, pada saat yang sama sebagian besar sistem aliran di bengkel tidak menyangka jika kendaraan tidak diambil oleh pemiliknya meskipun kendaraan telah diperbaiki, sementara slot pada sistem sudah kosong namun pada kenyataannya masih terisi yang menyebabkan penumpukan saat bengkel ramai atau penuh. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut penulis merancang sebuah program dengan menggunakan metode waterfall yang memiliki lima tahapan yaitu Communication, Planning, Modeling, Construction, dan Deployment. Dengan adanya program ini dapat mempermudah pekerja untuk mencatat, mengelola, bahkan membuat laporan, juga untuk mengawasi dimana letak kendaraan daripada saat menggunakan buku catatan yang mempersulit mereka dalam mencari data atau mengelola jika melakukan kesalahan pencatatan dll.

EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT AND AGE WITH MOTHER'S KNOWLEDGE OF STUNTING
Authors: Nursa'iidah Sharah
Published: February 2022

Stunting is a condition of failed to grow caused by malnutrition in a long time so that toddlers become short of their height standard. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia increases in 2018 to 30,8%. Mother's knowledge can be influenced by various factors including education, employment and age. The purpose of this research is to know the correlation of education, employment and age with the toddler mother's knowledge about stunting. This study uses an observational analytic method with a cross sectional design with a population of mothers with toddlers aged 0-5 years at Posyandu BMI 3. Samples were taken with a purposive sampling technique of 65 people. Bivariate analysis using chi square test with a significance level of 95%. The results showed there was a relationship between education and age with the knowledge of toddler mothers about stunting with p value of 0.003 < 0.05 and  p value of 0.043 < 0.05. there was no relationship of work with the knowledge of toddler mothers about stunting with p value 0.191 > 0.05. The researcher recommends the next researcher to analyze other factors that can influence the mother's knowledge and conduct health interventions so that the mother's knowledge increases.
A Post-Capitalocentric Critique of Digital Technology and Environmental Harm: New Directions at the Intersection of Digital and Green Criminology
Authors: Bedford Laura , Mann Monique , Foth Marcus , Walters Reece
Published: February 2022

Only recently have scholars of criminology begun to examine a wider spectrum of the effects of digital technologies beyond ‘cybercrime’ to include human rights, privacy, data extractivism and surveillance. Such accounts, however, remain anthropocentric and capitalocentric. They do not fully consider the environmental impacts caused by the manufacture, consumption, use and disposal of digital technologies under conditions of ecologically unequal exchange. The worst impacts of extractivism and pollution are borne by societies and ecosystems in the world’s economic periphery and contribute to an acceleration of planetary ecocide. Three examples illustrate our argument: (1) deep-sea mining of metals and minerals; (2) the planned obsolescence of digital devices while limiting the right to repair; and (3) the disposal of e-waste. Acknowledging the urgent need to reorient the trajectory of technology innovation towards more-than-human futures, we advance some ideas from the field of design research—that is, the field of scholarly inquiry into design practices—on how to decouple technological progress from neoliberal economic growth. We venture outside criminology and offer a glimpse into how design researchers have recently begun a similar reflective engagement with post-anthropocentric critiques, which can inspire new directions for research across digital and green criminology.
Formaldehyde and anti-fertility: correlation between testicular cytoarchitecture and semen analysis

Published: February 2022

The anti-fertility effect of formaldehyde was investigated on the testicular cytoarchitecture and semen of Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to formaldehyde by inhalation. Thirty adult male rats were randomly selected into three (3) groups of ten (10) rats each. The treatment group 2 and group 3 were exposed to 40% stock concentration of formaldehyde for 1 min/m2 and 2 min/m2 respectively daily for four (4) weeks of experimental period. The control group (group 1) was allowed free access to natural air throughout the experimental period. Testis was dissected out following cervical dislocation and fixed in Bouins fluid for histological processing. Caudal Epididymis was also dissected out and suspended in 1ml of Hams F- 10 solution for estimation of sperm concentration and motility. Semen analysis revealed a significant reduction in sperm concentration and sperm motility in the treated groups. Histological alterations in the seminiferous tubule and degeneration of spermatogenic cells were observed in the treated groups compared with the control. Reduction in sperm concentration and motility and histological alteration of the testes in the treated rats showed that formaldehyde might have toxicity on the reproductive organ.
