CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE CIDADANIA
Authors: De La Fuente Adriano R.
Published: April 2022

A categoria cidadania emerge, ao longo da história da Geografia escolar, como instrumento fundamental nas (re)leituras dos fenômenos socioespaciais. As circunstâncias da Pandemia COVID-19 deram relevância, dadas as condições e discussões sobre o assunto, o que contribuiu para (re)pensar o seu papel no atual contexto, bem como as contribuições e importância da Educação para a Cidadania e o ensino de Geografia especialmente. Dentre os resultados, observou-se que a construção e o exercício da cidadania no Brasil ainda são muito subjetivos, observado o papel fundamental do Estado como promotor de políticas públicas, pois uma parcela significativa da sociedade depende delas para acessar o mínimo de cidadania. Diante do problema, propõe-se o ensino de Geografia como um componente primordial nas (re)leituras críticas da realidade pelos sujeitos em seus múltiplos espaços de vivência, a fim de protagonizar e ressignificar a própria condição de ser humano e cidadão. Ademais, conclui-se que o ensino dos conteúdos geográficos auxilia na construção da cidadania, porém, tais contribuições só se efetivarão a partir de práticas didático-pedagógicas que estimulem o pensamento crítico propositivo, confirmando-se na aprendizagem significativa.

Authors: Alabbody Huda Hameed K.
Published: April 2022

The study evaluated the recovery performance of any home herbs group as first aid in some emergency cases. The study involved 10 items of herbs (chamomile, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and anise) which used in acute cases such as cold, colic, inflammation of the intestine and tonsillitis, and (hibiscus, catnip, dried lime, cress seed, and ginger) were used for chronic cases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis. The results showed the herbs had healing power and efficiency in the primary remedy for the above-mentioned diseases. The side effects, the contradictions, and the overdoses of these substances were discussed. It was concluded that home herbs could be used for treatment in emergency cases until modern medical assistance is obtained, if use is made within the limits of the permissible and recommended amounts by approved health organizations and departments.
Fibroblast growth factor‐23 and parathyroid hormone suppress small intestinal magnesium absorption
Authors: Suksridechacin Nasisorn , Thongon Narongrit
Published: April 2022

In the present study, we examined the systemic and direct effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor‐23 (FGF‐23) on duodenal, jejunal, and ileal Mg2+ absorption. The rats were injected with FGF‐23 or PTH for 5 h before collecting the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum for Mg2+ transport analysis in Ussing chambers. The duodenum, jejunum, and ileum were directly exposed to FGF‐23, PTH, or FGF‐23 plus PTH with or without cell signaling inhibitors for 150 min in Ussing chambers prior to performing the Mg2+ transport study. The small intestinal tissues were also subjected to western blot analyses for FGF receptor (FGFR), PTH receptor (PTHR), Klotho, transient receptor potential melastatin 6 (TRPM6), and cyclin as well as the cystathionine β‐synthase domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 4 (CNNM4) expression. The small intestine abundantly expressed FGFR and PTHR proteins, whereas, Klotho was not expressed in rat small intestine. Systemic PTH or FGF‐23 injection significantly suppressed transcellular Mg2+ transport in the duodenum and jejunum. Direct FGF‐23‐, PTH‐, or FGF‐23 plus PTH exposure also suppressed transcellular Mg2+ absorption in the duodenum and jejunum. There was no additional inhibitory effect of PTH and FGF‐23 on intestinal Mg2+ absorption. The inhibitory effect of PTH, FGF‐23, or FGF‐23 plus PTH was abolished by Gö 6850. Systemic PTH‐ or FGF‐23‐injection significantly decreased membranous TRPM6 expression, but increased cytosolic CNNM4 expression in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. In the present study, we propose a novel magnesiotropic action of PTH and FGF‐23 by modulating small intestinal Mg2+ absorption.
Effects of amiloride on acetylcholine‐dependent arterial vasodilation evolve over time in mice on a high salt diet
Authors: Mutchler Stephanie M. , Kleyman Thomas R.
Published: April 2022

The maintenance of endothelial health is required for normal vascular function and blood pressure regulation. The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) in endothelial cells has emerged as a new molecular player in the regulation of endothelial nitric oxide production and vascular stiffness. While ENaC expression in the kidney is negatively regulated by high [Na+], ENaC expression in isolated endothelial cells has been shown to increase in response to a high extracellular [Na+]. In culture, this increased expression leads to cellular stiffening and decreased nitric oxide release. In vivo, the effects of high salt diet on endothelial ENaC expression and activity have varied depending on the animal model utilized. Our aim in the present study was to examine the role of endothelial ENaC in mediating vasorelaxation in the C57Bl/6 mouse strain. We utilized pressure myography to test the responsiveness of thoracodorsal arteries to acetylcholine in mice with increased sodium consumption both in the presence and absence of increased aldosterone. ENaC’s contribution was assessed with the use of the specific inhibitor amiloride. We found that while aldosterone had very little effect on ENaC's contribution to acetylcholine sensitivity, a high salt diet led to an amiloride‐dependent shift in the acetylcholine response of vessels. However, the direction of this shift was dependent on the length of high salt diet administration. Overall, our studies reveal that ENaC's role in the endothelium may be more complicated than previously thought. The channel does not simply inhibit nitric oxide generation, but instead helps preserve a homeostatic response.

Students’ and teachers’ perceptions for composition of ionic compounds
Authors: Wisudawati Asih Widi , Barke Hans-Dieter , Lemma Abayneh , Agung Salamah
Published: April 2022

We investigate how chemistry-teacher students and teachers interpret chemical equations regarding the sub-microscopic level of solid ionic salts and their solutions. Addressing participants’ skills in making sense of chemical formulas might significantly influence students’ conceptual understanding: ionic salts formulas like Na2CO3(s), CaCO3(s), MgO(s) were established in the questionnaire. A coding system used to reveal participants’ reasoning correspond to their misconceptions. The enrolled participants were 101 undergraduate chemistry education students from Indonesia and Ethiopia and 24 chemistry teachers from Indonesia and Tanzania. Our results showed students’ and teachers’ difficulties in figuring out the involved ions of provided salts and interpreting the chemical formulas. Consequently, general chemistry learning should provide better fundamental knowledge on the submicroscopic level based on involved particles like atoms, ions, and molecules. It would also be helpful to introduce an appropriate sequence of historical ideas to find the existence of atoms, ions, and molecules.
Shining a Light on Eyvind Johnson’s Sidelined Novel, Nittonhundrasjutton
Authors: Thorup Thomsen Bjarne
Published: April 2022

The article offers a re-assessment of a little-known novel by Eyvind Johnson, Nittonhundrasjutton (1930–31), which was published purely in periodical form and has received very limited critical attention hitherto. The article approaches the novel through the theoretical lens of the widening and softening tendencies that characterise current understandings of the field of modernist literature. The appreciation of Johnson’s novel is informed, furthermore, by new insights into the role of interwar modernism in registering and responding to the afterlife of war as well as the spectre of a future war. The article argues that the sidelining of the novel in the reception of Johnson’s work is attributable more to its unusual publication mode than to any lack of artistic merit. After providing perspectives on the circumstances that surrounded Johnson’s creation of the novel, the article goes on to substantiate and scrutinise the novel’s modernist display of innovative temporalities and spatialities as well as its satirical sophistication. The article concludes that the novel deserves recognition for its original depiction of the fractured reality of wartime as it is lived and felt hundreds of kilometres from the core war zone.

Published: April 2022

Octa(dimethylethoxysiloxy) POSS (ODES) was synthesized successfully and used as the novel curing agent to prepare RTV silicone rubber (SROD) with outstanding mechanical properties and thermal stability. Compared with the silicone rubber cross-linked by tetraethoxysilane (SRTE), the novel RTV silicone rubber using octa(dimethylethoxysiloxy) POSS as a cross-linker had better mechanical, thermal, and optical properties. The highest tensile strength of SROD reached 1.26 MPa, which is three times that of SRTE. Besides, the decomposition temperature of 10% weight loss reached 507.7°C, exceeding that of SRTE by nearly 150°C. In addition, it was remarkable that due to the good compatibility of ODES with the silicone rubber matrix, the series of SROD showed good transmittance, greater than 87%. The thermal decomposition process of SROD was investigated by TGA coupled with real-time FTIR, and the results revealed the rigid structure and large steric hindrance of ODES that efficiently blocked the “backbiting” of the polysiloxy chains and delayed the end-induced ring decomposition, and consequently, improved the thermal stability of SROD significantly.

Published: April 2022

This research attempts to explore digital divide among tribes in Taiwan and to reveal relevant important tribal contextual features. Firstly, we collect residents’ connection event logs from the free wireless Internet, i-Tribe. Those connect behaviors are quantified as average of daily connection frequency, daily connection time, daily data transmission, inter-login time, Internet speed, and connection quality which are corresponding to evaluate how often, how long, how much, how active, how fast and the effectiveness of the information and communication technology (ICT) accessibility of tribes. Then the tribes are grouped into tribal clusters optimally by a rank aggregation algorithm and are asked if there are significant differences among them by three stages of hypothesis testing. After the phenomenon of digital divide is confirmed, some important contextual features, longitude, female dependency ratio, network environment level, economic service level, and policy cooperation level, are identified using the ordinal regression model (ORM).

Published: April 2022

In the micro-hardness range of the load, the measurement is complicated by the occurrence of the Indentation Size Effect (ISE) – the measured value of the micro-hardness is affected by the value of the applied load. The paper aims to study the influence of the automatic testers on the character type and size of the ISE. Ten testers and five standard reference blocks were involved in the “round-robin test”. Parameters of the ISE were evaluated using Meyer’s, Hays–Kendall, and PSR methods and also by statistical methods (ANOVA,t-test, regression, and cluster analysis). Despite the assumptions, a statistically significant impact of the hardness tester was found not only on the measured value but also on the character and size of ISE.
Prediction and optimization of thrust force during the drilling of AISI 2080 steel
Authors: Ozsoy Neslihan
Published: April 2022

Drilling is one of the critical processes in machining. High cutting forces that occur during drilling cause energy loss and wear of tools. Therefore, optimization of drilling parameters plays a significant role. The effects of drilling parameters on thrust force on AISI 2080 steel was investigated in this study. Drilling conditions were optimized to minimize the thrust force (Fz) by the Taguchi method. Experiments were conducted using two parameters (feed rate and cutting velocity) with three levels. A mathematical model for the Fz was obtained by the response surface methodology. The effect ratio of parameters on the results was determined by the analysis of variance. Optimum cutting parameters had been 30 m.min−1 for cutting velocity and 0.05 mm.rev−1 for feed rate. In addition, the results obtained according to the regression model generated and the results estimated by the Taguchi method were compared with the actual experimental results. Considering the error rates, it is observed that both methods were usable.
Altered States of Consciousness Induced by Exogenous Audio Signals
Authors: Young Asa
Published: April 2022

Rhythm deeply permeates the environment and is perceived by nearly all sensory modalities. There is a developing trend in cognitive science to look to neural rhythms at varying scales as the source of subjective experience. This approach, which looks to the oscillatory correlates of consciousness—electromagnetic field oscillations generated by the brain—as a quantifiable measure of consciousness, provides a novel avenue for bridging the subjective-objective divide. Oscillatory rhythms in the brain can originate endogenously or exogenously and can have varying impacts on subjective experience. Some exogenous rhythms, including audio rhythms, can have surprisingly strong impacts, sufficient to label these induced states “altered states of consciousness.” This piece examines the role of external auditory rhythms (speech, binaural beats, and music) in influencing conscious states of affected individuals at individual and interpersonal scales. This new methodology expands the scope by which cognitive science can be practically applied in studying the subjective experience.
Bias in Artificial Intelligence Systems
Authors: Rejmaniak Rafał
Published: April 2022

Artificial intelligence systems are currently deployed in many areas of human activity. Such systems are increasingly assigned tasks that involve taking decisions about people or predicting future behaviours. These decisions are commonly regarded as fairer and more objective than those taken by humans, as AI systems are thought to be resistant to such influences as emotions or subjective beliefs. In reality, using such a system does not guarantee either objectivity or fairness. This article describes the phenomenon of bias in AI systems and the role of humans in creating it. The analysis shows that AI systems, even if operating correctly from a technical standpoint, are not guaranteed to take decisions that are more objective than those of a human, but those systems can still be used to reduce social inequalities.
Is the Traditional Method of Regulation (the Legislative Act) Sufficient to Regulate Artificial Intelligence, or Should It Also Be Regulated by an Algorithmic Code?
Authors: Szostek Dariusz
Published: April 2022

The issue of the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the significant challenges faced by the EU at present. Most researchers focus on the substantive scope of AI regulation, including state law, ethical norms and soft law. In addition to the substantive and legal scope of the regulation, it is worthwhile considering the manner of such regulation.1 Since AI is an algorithmic code, it seems correct to regulate (restrict) AI not so much with traditional law established in natural (human) language as with one implemented into algorithms. They may operate as a tool supporting traditional legislation (RegTech), but it is possible to go further with the issue and create regulation algorithms which implement the law as the effective law. However, this requires a new approach to law and legislation – the law as algorithmic code.

Published: April 2022

Purpose: The objectives of this study are to analyze liquidity, credit risk, and operating efficiency on bank profitability as proxied by Return on Assets and analyze the role of Net Interest Margin (NIM) and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) as an intervening variable.Methodology: The population in this study was banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for  2015-2019‎. The sampling technique used the purposive sampling technique with 37 companies and 167 analysis units. The data analysis in this study used multiple linear regression analysis and path analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software as an analysis tool.Findings: The results show that liquidity and operating efficiency have a significant effect on profitability. Credit risk has a significant negative impact on profitability. On the other hand, NIM and CAR have a significant positive impact on profitability. Liquidity has a significant positive effect on NIM and CAR, credit risk has an insignificant negative impact on NIM but a significant positive on CAR, and operational efficiency has a significant negative impact on NIM. Meanwhile, NIM and CAR can only mediate liquidity to profitability. Otherwise, CAR can be mediating credit risk to profitability.Originality: NIM and CAR can be mediate the effect of liquidity on profitability, and in particular, CAR mediates market risk on profitability. Therefore, investors should pay attention to financial banking ratios to not fail in making investments.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of bioflavonoids, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and quercetin, on the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the liver of rats under round-the-clock light exposure with an intensity of 1500 lux for 30 days while being kept on carbohydrate-lipid diet (20% fructose solution and appropriate food) for 60 days. In the liver tissues, the rate of the superoxide anion production by NADPH-dependent electron transport chains (microsomal monooxygenases and constitutive uncoupled NO synthases) increased by 1.93 times, by the mitochondrial respiratory chain by 1.89 times, and it was doubled by leukocyte NADPH-oxidase. The total activity of NO synthase was increased by 2.35 times, the activity of its inducible isoform increased by 2.57 times, and the concentration of alkali and alkaline earth metals peroxynitrites elevated by 1.68 times. Administration of bioflavonoids-epigallocatechin-3-gallate and quercetinsignificantly restrained the rate of superoxide anion production in the liver tissues by microsomal monooxygenases and NO synthase by 39.1 and 40.1%, by the mitochondrial respiratory chain by 37.2 and 34.4%, by leukocyte NADPH-oxidase by 35.0 and 32.1%, respectively. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate and quercetin inhibited the total activity of NO-synthase by 46.7 and 36.2%, the activity of its inducible isoform by 49.6 and 39,0%, increased the activity of the constitutive isoenzyme NO-synthase by 2.9 times and its coupling index by 4.5 and 4.7 times. Additionally, administration of these bioflavonoids lowered the concentration of peroxynitrites of alkali and alkaline earth metals by 30.5 and 34.3% compared to the respective values obtained in the group of rats, which did not receive the bioflavonoids, but were exposed to light and carbohydrate-lipid-rich diet. We suggest that epigallocatechin3-gallate and quercetin in the above experimental conditions are effective means to restrain the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the liver tissue.

We studied the changes in the cellular composition of the duodenal’s crypts induced by chronic action of Epichlorohydrin (ECH) and the efficiency of the treatment by Echinacea purpurea (EP) extract and thiotriazoline for possible correction of these changes. On the 15th, 30th and 60th days, rats subjected to ECH, EP and thiotriazoline were removed from the experiment. According to the standard histological technique, sections of duodenum were processed, stained with hematoxylin-eosin, acid fuchsine and picric acid. Chronic exposure to ECH on duodenum led to statistically significant changes in the cellular composition of the crypts, which persisted after the cessation of the action of the chemical. On the 15th day, there was a decrease in the total number of cells in one crypt of the duodenal mucous membrane (MM), the number of columnar epithelial cells, argyrophilic endocrinocytes and Paneth cells in one crypt of the duodenal MM compared with the corresponding indicators in rats of the control group. Administration of EP extract and thiotriazoline on the background of chronic action of ECH prevented the development of negative changes in crypt composition of the duodenal MM.

We have investigated the effect of the intranasal degydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) treatment on the emotional status and zoosocial behavior of rats during ethanol withdrawal compared to the level of voluntary ethanol consumption and its preference at the 2-bottle test. It was shown that under conditions of renewal of alcohol access, the highest decrease in the intensity of its usage (by 75%), as compared to controls, was found in all experimental animals. Additionally, DHEA has promoted significant reduction (by 72%) in the pathological addiction to ethanol. These results, combined with the restoration of zoosocial relationships with the predominance of the socio-centric type, have reflected the normalizing effect of neurosteroids on the emotional behavior of the alcoholized animals, which suggest certain therapeutic potential of DHEA directed to a decrease in the level of ethanol addiction.

A large number of extra- and intramural ganglia in humans and animals exist. All pathways of central regulation of vegetative functions and peripheral reflex pathways pass through them, providing coordinated automatic activity of many organs and tissues. It is well known that sympathetic and sensory neurons are affected in the early stages of diabetes. Patients with diabetes often have autonomic neuropathies. They suffer from disorders of the cardiovascular system and vessels functions, from disorders of the thermoregulatory and pupilomotor functions. These disorders may be the result of the superior cervical ganglion neurons functional defects. This ganglion involves in homeostasis, innervates pineal gland, thyroid, vascular plexus, vestibular system, pupillary, carotid bodies, salivary and lacrimal glands, innervates vessels of the skull and brain. The superior cervical ganglion’s postganglionic axons also innervate the heart. However, disorders of the synaptic transmission in superior cervical ganglion neurons in diabetes remain insufficiently studied to date. Therefore, this article is about the physiological properties of the superior cervical ganglion neurons and their pathological changes in diabetes mellitus. The works about synaptic neurotransmission disorders in superior cervical ganglion neurons of animals with experimental diabetes mellitus are analyzed.

Detection and enterotoxin production of Staphylococcus aureus isolates in artisanal cheese made from raw milk
Authors: Golić B. , Nedić D. , Šmitran A.
Published: April 2022

The aim of the study was to determine whether the physicochemical factors of the matrix and the traditional acid-set cheese-making conditions allow the growth of coagulase-positive staphylococci (CoPS) and the synthesis of enterotoxins, which should contribute to an objective risk assessment in cheese production related to CoPS. CoPS were isolated from 72% of acid-set cheeses ranging from 1.70 to 5.15 log10 CFU g−1. CoPS in a number ≥ 4 log10 CFU g−1 were determined in 5.56% of the acid-set cheese samples. Out of the total number of CoPS isolated from cheese, 37.62% of the isolates have been shown to produce enterotoxins. All isolated strains that produced enterotoxins were identified as Staphylococcus aureus based on the detection of spa gene by PCR. For cheese-derived isolates with CoPS number ≥ 4 log10 CFU g−1, it has been proven that they possess sec gene encoding staphylococcal enterotoxin C. According to our results, during the proper fermentation process of artisanal acid-set cheese, the conditions do not support the growth of a critical level of staphylococci or the production of enterotoxins.

Sumberdaya ikan pelagis di Laut Jawa telah dimanfaatkan secara intensif sejak dekade tahun 1980-an danmerupakan kegiatan perikanan utama di Indonesia. Beberapa famili ikan pelagis dominan yang tertangkap diantaranya dari famili Clupeidae, Carangidae dan Scombridae. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh periode La Nina dan El Nino terhadap produksi beberapa jenis ikan yang dominan tertangkap di Pantai Utara Jawa. Penelitian dilakukan selama bulan April sampai dengan September 2010 dengan mengumpulkan data pendaratan ikan melalui enumerator di beberapa lokasi pendaratan ikan yakni PPN Pekalongan; PPI Bajomulyo II dan Bajomulyo I – Juwana; serta PPIRembang. Data SouthernOscilation Indiex (SOI) diperoleh dari situs resmi BadanMetereologi pemerintah Australia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa puncak produksi ikan layang, banyar dan tongkol yang didaratkan di Pantai Utara Jawa relatif lebih panjang pada periode La Nina dibandingkan pada periode El Nino. Rata-rata produksi ikan selar berbeda nyata (P<0,05) antara periode El Nino dan Periode La Nina sedangkan jenis layang, banyar dan tongkol tidak berbeda nyata (P>0,05). Pelagic fish resources in the Northern Coast of Java has been exploited since early 1980’s as themost intensive fishery in Indonesia. Several families of pelagic fish that commonly exploited in Java Sea are Clupeidae, Carangidae, and Scombridae. The study was conducted from March to September 2010 by compiling fish landing data from field enumerators in the several fish landing locations such as PPN Pekalongan, PPI bajomulyo I and Bajomulyo II at Juwana, and PPI Rembang. The Current work aims to determine the production of small pelagic fishery affected by El Nino or La Nina evidence. Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) parameter was used as an indicator of climate change parameter. The results show that the peak of season production of russel’s scad (Decapterus russelli), indianmackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta), and frigate mackerel (Auxis thazard) weremore longer during the periode of La Nina than those of the periode of El Nino. Average production values of yellowstrip trevally (Selaroides leptolepis) were significantly different during La Nina periodes compared to El Nino periodes (P<0,05) while russel’s scad, indian mackerel, and frigate mackerel did not show significantly different.

Masalah umum yang dihadapi dalam operasi penangkapan ikan terhadap sumberdaya yang sifatnya multi spesies dan multi-cohort di daerah tropis adalah diperolehnya hasil tangkapan bukan spesies target yang biasa disebut hasil tangkap samping (HTS) atau by-catch. Saat ini informasi mengenai HTS pada perikanan rawai tuna di Indonesia yang beroperasi di Samudera Pasifik masih terbatas. Disisi lain informasi tersebut sangat dibutuhkan dalam rangka pelaksanaan pengelelolaan sumberdaya tuna yang memadai. Penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mendapatkan infomasi tentang HTS pada perikanan rawai tuna di Samudera Pasifik dilakukan di Bitung bulan Mei sampai Juli 2010. Penelitian dilakukan dengan dua cara yaitu melalui pengambilan contoh di pusat pendaratan armada rawai tuna (port sampling) dan observer di kapal rawai tuna (onboard observer). Port sampling dilakukan setiap hari pada minngu keempat selama bulan Mei sampai Oktober 2010. Onboard observer dilakukan sebanyak dua trip operasi penangkapan rawai tuna. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi aspek operasional rawai tuna, jeni ikan HTS dan ukuran panjang cagak ikan HTS. Hasil riset menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata laju pancing HTS selama Mei sampai Oktober 2010 adalah 19,6 kg/100 mata pancing per tawur. Sebanyak 16 spesies HTS rawai tuna dapat diidentifikasi yang didominasi oleh ikan setuhuk hitam atau black marlin (Makaira indica). Ukuran low jaw fork length (LJFL) ikan ikan setuhuk hitam dan ikan meka secara berturut-turut adalah 97-198 cm (modus 141-160 cm), 94-241 cm (modus 161-180 cm) dan ukuran fork length ikan tikusan adalah 96-190 cm (modus 121-140 cm). The common fishing operation problematic in tropical waters which characterized by multispecies and multi-cohort resource is the numbers of bycatch exploited. Currently, the information of bycatch in the longline fishery especially operated in the Pacific Ocean is limited. On the other hand, this information is necessary for the implementation tuna fisheries management framework. The objective of this research is to collate the information of Pacific tuna longline bycatch landed in Bitung during the period of May until July 2010. Research conducted in two ways i.e. through port sampling at the central landing of tuna longline and observer onboard. Port sampling was conducted in the forth week during May until October 2010, whilst observer onboard was conducted in two trips within that period. Data collected consists of operational aspects of tuna longliners, species composition of bycatch and its fork length. Results of this research showed that the average of hook rate during the period of May October 2010 was 19.10 kg/100 hooks per set. Sixteen species of tuna longline bycatch have been identified and showed that black marlin (Makaira indica) was predominant. Size of Low Jaw Fork Length (LJFL) of blackmarlin, swordfish and thresher shark were 97-198 cm (mode 141-160 cm), 94-241 cm (mode 161-180 cm) and 96- 190 cm (121-140 cm) respectively.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: Although regular exercise is widely recommended to promote optimal health, it is thought that gym-goers are at risk for body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. Objective: This study assessed the risk of eating disorders and the prevalence of body dissatisfaction in gym-goers enrolled in a gym located in the city of Ankara, the capital of Turkey. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 206 gym-goers, 102 males (mean age of 25.8±7.86 years) and 104 females (mean age of 26.5±9.07 years), who regularly exercised at least twice a week at this gym during the years 2018 to 2019. Demographic characteristics and exercise status of the participants were collected through face-to-face interviews via a questionnaire form. The REZZY (SCOFF) questionnaire was administered to determine the risk of eating disorders and the Stunkard Figure Rating Scale was administered to determine body dissatisfaction. Results: The mean REZZY score in females (1.4±1.21) was higher than in males (0.8 ± 1.05) (p<0.01). In males, 26 out of 102 (25.5%) had a score indicating a risk of eating disorders. In females, 44 out of 104 (42.3%) had a score indicating a risk of eating disorders. The risk of eating disorders is higher in females than in males (p<0.05). While 49.0% of males stated that their current body size is greater than the ideal body size, 76.0% of females said that their current body size is greater than the ideal body size. Conclusion: Consequently, it was determined that gym-goers were a risk group in terms of eating disorders and body dissatisfaction. Level of Evidence: III; Cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT The content of high school textbooks related to physical activity and exercise is of utmost importance because physical activity and exercise are considered important tools in maintaining and improving health. Our objective was to analyze the presence and quality of exercise science content in high school biology textbooks approved by the National Textbook Plan. A guiding document was developed to enable the analysis of the textbooks. The topics investigated were: I) the extent of content related to exercise science; II) misconceptions about exercise science; III) health benefits attributed to exercise. The academic qualifications of the textbook authors were also analyzed. All analyzed textbooks (n = 9) featured some degree of exercise science content. In addition, ~67% of textbooks analyzed had at least one misconception regarding exercise science, the most common being related to biochemistry and muscle physiology. Also, 93.8% of the authors had undergraduate degrees in biological sciences; 43.8% had doctoral degrees. In conclusion, all high school biology textbooks presented content related to exercise science; however, most of them presented at least one misconception regarding exercise science. Thus, we suggest that the Brazilian National Textbook Plan should improve the criteria for analyzing biology textbooks.

ABSTRACT Background: The relationship between training and competition is very important and aims at a more specific and adequate preparation in Jiu-Jitsu. Problem and objective: To evaluate the relationship between training and competition through indications of injury and muscle strength. Methods: The study sample included nine subjects (22.54 ± 2.77 years of age) who were submitted to the following two conditions: 1) training simulation and 2) competition simulation. Results: There were no significant differences in the countermovement jump (CMJ) test. However, 48 hours after training there was an indication of values higher than the post-competition ones. Creatine kinase (CK) indicated significant differences in muscle damage after competition in relation to the other conditions and moments (p <0.01) with a high effect. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) showed differences in the moments before, during, and after both competition and training conditions (p <0.05) with a high effect. The power of the upper limbs (PUL) showed a medium correlation at 24h (> 0.55) and 48h (0.47) after the intervention. There was high correlation (> 0.70) for all conditions in the squat jump (SJ). LDH showed a high correlation (> 0.70) at 48 hours. Conclusion: There was a good correlation between training and competition simulation, which tends to indicate that the training model used in the study properly prepare Jiu-Jitsu athletes for the demands of competition. Level of evidence I; High-quality randomized clinical trial with or without a statistically significant difference, but with narrow confidence intervals.

Abstract Collaboration in the supply chain is involved in studies that suggest the relationship between companies in search of mutual benefits and maintenance of a strategic partner to improve the operational performance of organizations. The collaborative practices defined in the literature refer to a collaborative culture, joint planning, joint problem solving, and sharing of resources and information. From this perspective, this article aims to evaluate the influence of collaboration in the supply chain on the operational performance of the medium and large industries of the Textile and Metal-mechanic segment of the Vale do Itajaí (SC). Through questionnaires applied in the supply area in a universe of 109 industries, it was possible to collect data from 66 companies. It was found that joint planning and collaborative culture are collaborative practices that influence operational performance. Regarding the performance factors, flexibility was shown as an absent attribute in the industries: after the analysis of the moderating effect by segment, it was concluded that flexibility was not present only in the Metal-mechanic sector. It was also tried to diagnose the influence of the collaboration practices by industrial segment: in the Textile sector the influence of the joint resolution of problems was revealed and, in the Metal-mechanic sector the joint planning as a variable of impact on the operational performance was highlighted.
