Canine Epidermal Keratinocytes (CPEK) Grown in Monolayer Are Not Representative of Normal Canine Keratinocytes for Permeability Studies: Pilot Studies
Authors: Marsella Rosanna , Wilkes Rachel , Ahrens Kim
Published: January 2022

Canine progenitor epidermal keratinocytes (CPEK) are used as canine keratinocyte cell line. Their suitability for skin barrier studies is unknown. Measurement of transepithelial electric resistance (TEER) evaluates epithelial permeability. We compared TEER and tight junction (TJ) expression in CPEKs and normal keratinocytes (NK) harvested from biopsies of normal dogs. CPEKs and NK were grown until confluence (D0) and for 13 additional days. Slides were fixed on D0 and stained with ZO-1 and claudin-1 antibodies. Five images/antibody were taken, randomized and evaluated blindly by three investigators for intensity, staining location, granularity, and continuousness. Cell size and variability were evaluated. TEER increased overtime to 2000 Ohms/cm in NK, while remained around 100–150 Ohms/cm in CPEK. ANOVA showed significant effect of time (p < 0.0001), group (p < 0.0001) and group x time interaction (p < 0.0001) for TEER. Size of CPEKs was significantly (p < 0.0001) smaller and less variable (p = 0.0078) than NK. Intensity of claudin-1 staining was greater in CPEKs (p < 0.0001) while granularity was less in CPEKs (p = 0.0012). For ZO-1, cytoplasmic staining was greater in CPEK (p < 0.0001) while membrane continuousness of staining was greater in NK (p = 0.0002). We conclude that CPEKs grown in monolayer are not representative of NK for permeability studies.

Contamination of groundwater by petroleum hydrocarbons is a widespread environmental problem in many regions. Contamination of unsaturated and saturated zones could also pose a significant risk to human health. The main purpose of the study was to assess the efficiency of biodegradation of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in situ, in an area with loam and sandy loam soils, and to identify features and characteristics related to groundwater treatment in an area with a persistent flow of pollutants. We used methods of biostimulation (oxygen as stimulatory supplement) and bioaugmentation to improve water quality. Oxygen was added to the groundwater by diffusion through silicone tubing. The efficiency of groundwater treatment was determined by detailed monitoring. Implementation of the applied measure resulted in an average reduction in TPH concentration of 73.1% compared with the initial average concentration (4.33 mg/L), and in the local area, TPH content was reduced by 95.5%. The authors hope that this paper will contribute to a better understanding of the topic of groundwater treatment by in situ biodegradation of TPH. Further studies on this topic are particularly needed to provide more data and details on the efficiency of groundwater treatment under adverse geological conditions.

Published: January 2022

This study aims to evaluate the climate- and human-induced impacts on two contrasting river basins in India, specifically, the Ganges and the Godavari. Monthly discharge simulations from global hydrological models (GHMs), run with and without human influence using CMIP5 projections under the framework of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project, are utilized to address the scientific questions related to the quantification of the future impacts of climate change and the historical impacts of human activities on these river basins. The five state-of-the-art GHMs were considered and subsequently used to evaluate the human and climate change impacts on river discharges (seasonal mean discharge and extreme flows) during the pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons under the RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios. Results showed that human impacts during the baseline period on long-term seasonal discharge in the Ganges and Godavari River basins for the pre-monsoon season are around 40% and 23%, respectively, and these impacts are stronger than the future climate change impact in the pre-monsoon season for the Ganges basin, whereas, for the Godavari basin, the same pattern is observed with some exceptions. The human impact in the course of the historical period on the pre-monsoon flows of both the Ganges and the Godavari are more significant than on the monsoon and post-monsoon flows. In the near future (2010–39) time slice, the impact of climate change on the streamflow of the Ganges is highest for the post-monsoon season (13.4%) under RCP 8.5 as compared to other seasons. For Godavari, in the near-future period, this impact is highest for the pre-monsoon season (18.2%) under RCP 2.6. Climate-induced changes in both of the basins during both the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons is observed to have a higher impact on future flows than direct human impact-induced changes to flow during the current period. High flows (31.4% and 19.9%) and low flows (51.2% and 36.8%) gain greater influence due to anthropogenic actions in the time of the pre-monsoon season compared to other times of year for the Ganges and Godavari basins, respectively. High flows for the Ganges during the near future time slice are most affected in the monsoon season (15.8%) under RCP 8.5 and, in the case of the Godavari, in the pre-monsoon season (18.4%) under the RCP 2.6 scenario. Low flows of the Ganges during the near-future period are most affected during the monsoon season (22.3%) and for the Godavari, low flows are affected most for the post-monsoon season (22.1%) under RCP 2.6. Uncertainty in the streamflow estimates is more pronounced for the Godavari basin compared to the Ganges basin. The findings of this study enhance our understanding of the natural and human-influenced flow regimes in these river basins, which helps the formation of future strategies, especially for inter-state and transboundary river management.

Published: January 2022

The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of a pilot-scale plug-flow reactor (PFR) as a biorefinery system to recover chemicals (i.e., volatile fatty acids (VFAs)), and biogas during the dry thermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). The effects of the hydraulic retention time (HRT) on both outputs were studied, reducing the parameter from 22 to 16 days. In addition, VFA variation along the PFR was also evaluated to identify a section for a further valorization of VFA-rich digestate stream. A particular focus was dedicated for characterizing the community responsible for the production of VFAs during hydrolysis and acidogenesis. The VFA concentration reached 4421.8 mg/L in a section located before the end of the PFR when the HRT was set to 16 days. Meanwhile, biogas production achieved 145 NLbiogas/d, increasing 2.7 times when compared to the lowest HRT tested. Defluviitoga sp. was the most abundant bacterial genus, contributing to 72.7% of the overall bacterial population. The genus is responsible for the hydrolysis of complex polysaccharides at the inlet and outlet sections since a bimodal distribution of the genus was found. The central zone of the reactor was distinctly characterized by protein degradation, following the same trend of propionate production.

Authors: Gazal Kathryn , Andrew Ross , Burns Robert
Published: January 2022

Understanding the economic value of marine sanctuaries such as the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) is important to justify public and private investments and to provide information to support management activities and understand their role in the nation’s blue economy. Very few studies have employed economic contribution analysis in examining economic value, even though it is more useful in influencing the behaviors of decision makers. This study therefore employs such a methodology to determine the economic importance of tourism and visitor spending in the sanctuary to Monroe County, Florida’s economy. Visitors who came to the area for ocean recreation and tourism spent a total of USD 1.7 billion, which translates to a contribution of 19,688 total jobs, USD 752 million in total labor income, USD 1.2 billion in total value added, and USD 2 billion in total output to the region. With regard to the spending of snorkelers and divers only, total spending is about USD 1.07 billion, contributing about 12,441 total jobs, USD 466 million in total labor income, USD 767 million in total value added, and USD 1.2 billion in total output. Ocean recreation is therefore an important economic driver in the region and efforts should be directed at protecting the diverse and sensitive ecosystem of the sanctuary.
Assessment of Risk and Social Impact on Groundwater Pollution by Nitrates. Implementation in the Gallocanta Groundwater Body (NE Spain)
Authors: Orellana-Macías José María , Perles Roselló María Jesús
Published: January 2022

Groundwater is an essential resource for humans concerning freshwater supply; therefore, preserving and protecting its quality is necessary. Risk assessment, based on hazard, intrinsic vulnerability information and mapping, may be considered as a key aspect of sustainable groundwater management. An approach has been made by combining the Nitrogen Input Hazard Index and the hydrogeological parameters considered in a modified DRASTIC method. A three-level classification has been used to determine the degree of risk, and the thresholds have been established following measurable criteria related to the potential nitrate concentration in groundwater. The second part of the study focused on estimating the socioeconomic impact of groundwater pollution by relating the degree of risk and social vulnerability to groundwater pollution. The method has been tested in the Gallocanta Groundwater Body (Spain). As a result, a risk map and an impact map are provided. The risk map shows that 67% of the study area can be classified as moderate and high-risk areas, corresponding to high hazard sources located in moderate and high vulnerability zones, whereas the impact of groundwater pollution is classified as moderate in the whole groundwater body. The proposed analysis allows comparison between aquifers in different areas and the results required by water authorities to implement control and mitigation measures.

Published: January 2022

The spatial and temporal distribution of euphausiid krill Euphausia pacifica (Crustacea: Malacostraca) and of fish schools were observed along acoustic transects at the southwestern East Sea coastline of Korea. Two-frequency (38- and 120-kHz) acoustic backscatter data were examined from April to July 2010. A decibel identification window (SV 120–38) and school detection algorithm identified Euphausia pacifica and fish schools in the acoustic backscatter, respectively. The E. pacifica was regularly observed in middle of southern waters, where phytoplankton was abundant during spring, and irregularly during summer, when phytoplankton was homogeneously distributed. Using the distorted-wave Born approximation model, the acoustic density we calculated of E. pacifica was higher in spring (April: 75.9 mg m−2, May: 85.3 mg m−2) than in summer (June: 71.4 mg m−2, July: 54.1 mg m−2). The fish schools observed by the acoustic data tended to significantly increase from spring to summer. Although major fish species, such as anchovies and herring, fed on copepods and euphausiids in the survey area, the temporal and spatial distribution of E. pacifica was weakly correlated with the distribution of the fish schools. These findings aid in our understanding of the temporal and spatial distribution dynamics of euphausiids and fish schools in the food web of the coastal southwestern East Sea.

Published: January 2022

Recommendation systems have been widely used in many e-commerce services, but it is difficult to gather enough participants to supply their recommendations. Moreover, participants in the system may make malicious recommendations, which will affect the accuracy of recommendation results. In order to provide better recommendation service for users, incentive mechanisms are needed to attract more participants in recommendation and curb their malicious behaviors. In this paper, we propose a consortium blockchain based reputation incentive mechanism for recommendation systems(CRIM). Firstly, the monetary rewards are used to attract participants and motivate them to take part in the recommendation. Secondly, we design the incentive mechanism with reputation which is attached to the rewards. Honest participants will gain more rewards while malicious participants will be penalized. Meanwhile, we adopt the Stackelberg game to maximize the utility of participants, and prove that the mechanism can reach a unique Nash equilibrium. Thirdly, the decentralization and immutability of blockchain can guarantee the credibility and security of the stored data, thus ensuring the openness and transparency of the recommendation. Finally, we implement the system for education resources recommendation and conduct experiments, and the results demonstrate that our incentive mechanism is effective and has significant performance when compared with other incentive mechanisms.

Authors: de Kleijn Loes , Pedersen Julie Rønne , Rijkels-Otters Hanneke , Chiarotto Alessandro , Koes Bart
Published: January 2022

Background

Long-term opioid treatment in patients with chronic pain is often ineffective and possibly harmful. These patients are often managed by GPs who are calling for a clear overview of effective opioid reduction strategies for primary care.

Aim

To evaluate effectiveness of opioid reduction strategies applicable in primary care for patients with chronic pain on long-term opioid treatment.

Design and setting

Systematic review of controlled trials and cohort studies performed in primary care from inception date to 15 January 2021.

Method

Literature search conducted in EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO. Studies evaluating opioid reduction interventions applicable in primary care among adults on long-term opioid treatment for chronic non-cancer pain were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (version 2) (RoB 2) or the Risk of bias in non-randomized studies — of interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. Narrative synthesis was performed because of clinical heterogeneity in study designs and types of interventions.

Results

In total, five randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and five cohort studies were included (N = 1717, range n = 35 to n = 985) exploring various opioid reduction strategies. Of these, six studies had high/critical RoB, three moderate RoB, and one low RoB. Three cohort studies: investigating a GP-supervised opioid taper (critical ROBINS-I), an integrative pain treatment (moderate ROBINS-I), and group medical visits (critical ROBINS-I) demonstrated significant between-group opioid reduction.

Conclusion

Results carefully point in the direction of a GP supervised tapering and multidisciplinary group therapeutic sessions to reduce long-term opioid treatment. However, because of high risk of bias and small sample sizes, no firm conclusions can be made demonstrating the need for more high-quality research.

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic that began in the city of Wuhan in December 2019 and spread rapidly globally and has not ended until now. The  COVID -19 infection is very deadly and no age is immune to the infection. Elderly people, pregnant women and newborns are the age group vulnerable to  COVID -19 infection. Studies conducted so far have not revealed anything about vertical transmission of  COVID -19 from mother to neonatus. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of neonatus from mothers with confirmed  COVID -19. The research method uses a retrospective principle with a cross sectional approach, the number of samples is 59 newborns from mothers with confirmed  COVID -19. The results showed that there were only 4 babies (6.8%) who tested positive for mothers with confirmed  COVID -19. The characteristics of newborns from mothers with confirmed  COVID -19 are 31 neonatus (52.5%) are female, 46 neonatus (78%) have a normal weight between 2500-4000 grams, the majority of neonatus are born at a normal gestational age between 37-40 weeks, as many as 50 neonatus (84.7%) and most of them were born by cesarean section as many as 44 neonatus (74.6%). In general, newborns are able to adapt well, as indicated by the APGAR values in the first and fifth minutes including the normal category and no babies in the heavy category. However, almost all babies born to mothers with confirmed  COVID-19 were given formula milk, namely 58 neonatus (98.3%). Therefore, it is hoped that it can be taken into consideration for leaders at research sites and related to be able to facilitate exclusive breastfeeding for newborns from mothers with confirmed COVID-19 while still implementing health protocols and considering the clinical conditions of mothers and neonatus because until now there are no reports that prove that  COVID -19 can be transmitted through breastfeeding. The author also suggests that further research can be done to prove whether there is vertical transmission from mother to neonatus.

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one indicator to see the success of maternal health efforts. Since WHO officially declared the corona virus outbreak (COVID-19) as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit almost all countries in the world and has an impact on various health and non-health sectors. It is undeniable that this condition will cause maternal anxiety during pregnancy. The sampling technique in this study was carried out by the quota sampling technique. Analyzed by chi-square test. The results of the study on the relationship between social support and maternal anxiety during pregnancy showed that there was a relationship between social support and maternal anxiety during pregnancy (p value 0.003) with an OR of 3.187 which means that pregnant women with good social support have an estimated chance of 3.187 times experiencing mild anxiety levels. compared to pregnant women with less social support. In addition, the results of the study show that there is a relationship between media coverage and maternal anxiety during pregnancy (p value < 0.001) with an OR of 4.56 which means that pregnant women who are exposed to positive media coverage have an estimated 4.56 times chance of experiencing mild anxiety levels compared to those who are exposed to positive media coverage. pregnant women with negative media coverage. It can be concluded that social support and media coverage have been shown to be associated with maternal anxiety during pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is recommended for health workers to be able to adapt to health services that are adapted to health protocols that focus on efforts to promote health, prevent disease and empower pregnant women. Although visits to health facilities are only prioritized for pregnant women who have problems, health workers are still required to be able to innovate in developing education for pregnant women with various media that can be reached by all pregnant women.

We are interested in the study of asymptotic stability for Burgers equation with second-order nonlinear diffusion. We first transform the original equation by the ansatz transformation to establish the existence of traveling wave. We further employ the energy estimate under small perturbation and arbitrary wave amplitude. This energy estimate is then used to establish the stability.

Rainbow vertex-connection number is the minimum k-coloring on the vertex graph G and is denoted by rvc(G). Besides, the rainbow-vertex connection number can be applied to some special graphs, such as prism graph and path graph. Graph operation is a method used to create a new graph by combining two graphs. Therefore, this research uses corona product operation to form rainbow-vertex connection number at the graph resulting from corona product operation of prism graph and path graph (Pm,2 P3) (P3 Pm,2). The results of this study obtain that the theorem of rainbow vertex-connection number at the graph resulting from corona product operation of prism graph and path graph (Pm,2 P3) (P3 Pm,2) for 3 = m = 7 are rvc (G) = 2m rvc (G) = 2.

Air pollution is an important environmental problem for specific areas, including Makassar City, Indonesia. The increase should be monitored and evaluated, especially in urban areas that are dense with vehicles and factories. This is a challenge for local governments in urban planning and policy-making to fulfill the information about the impact of air pollution. The clustering of starting points for the distribution areas can ease the government to determine policies and prevent the impact. The k-Means initial clustering method was used while the Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) visualized the clustering results. Furthermore, the Geographic Information System (GIS) visualized the results of regional clustering on a map of Makassar City. The air quality parameters used are Suspended Particles (TSP), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Surface Ozone (O3), and Lead (Pb) which are measured during the day and at night. The results showed that the air contains more CO, and at night, the levels are reduced in some areas. Therefore, the density of traffic, industry and construction work contributes significantly to the spread of CO. Air conditions vary, such as high CO levels during the day and TSP at night. Also, there is a phenomenon at night that a group does not have SO2 and O3 simultaneously. The results also show that the integration of k-Means and SOM for regional clustering can be appropriately mapped through GIS visualization.

Published: January 2022

Air temperature is an important data for several sectors. The demand of fast, exact and accurate forecast on temperature data is getting extremely important since it is useful for planning of several important sectors. In order to forecast mean daily temperature data at 1st and 2nd Perak BMKG Station in Surabaya, this study used the univariate method, ARIMA model and multivariate method, VARIMA model with outlier detection. The best ARIMA model was selected using in-sample criteria, i.e. AIC and BIC. While for VAR model, the minimum information criterion namely AICc value was considered. The RMSE values of several forecasting horizons of out-sample data showed that the overall best model for mean daily temperature at 1st and 2nd Perak Station was the multivariate model, i.e. VARX (10,1) with four outliers incorporated in the model, indicated that it was necessary to consider the temperature from the nearest stations to improve the forecasting performance. This study recommends performing the overall best model only for short term forecasting, i.e. two weeks at maximum. By using the one week-step ahead and one day-step ahead forecasting scheme, the forecasting performance is significantly improved compared to default the k-step ahead forecasting scheme.

This article discusses the commutation matrix in the Kronecker quaternion group; that is, a non-abelian group whose 32 elements are matrices of 4 × 4 size, with entries in the set of complex numbers. The purpose of this paper is to describe the commutation matrices obtained in relation to the matrices in this group. The commutation matrix is a permutation matrix that associates the relationship between the vec and vec of the transpose matrix. Based on the classification of matrices in the Kronecker quaternion group, there are 16 classification of commutation matrices for the matrices in this group.
Iman Di Tengah Penderitaan Dalam Tinjauan Alkitab dan Ajaran Magisterium Gereja
Authors: Nembos Mariano Henryan
Published: January 2022

Penderitaan tidak selalu bermakna hukuman atas dosa. Penderitaan dalam kacamata kristiani sejatinya dimaknai pula sebagai sarana pernyataan diri dan kasih Allah. Penderitaan dan wafat Yesus merupakan tanda nyata kasih Allah bagi umat manusia. Iman sebagaimana merupakan tanggapan manusia atas pernyataan diri Allah, dengan demikian akan semakin bertumbuh dan berkembang di dalam penderitaan, sejauh penderitaan tersebut dimaknai sebagai wujud partisipasi dalam Kristus. Sebagai umat kristiani, kita semua dipanggil untuk menghayati penderitaan yang  kita alami sebagai sebuah wujud ikut andil kita dalam karya keselamatan Allah. Melalui tulisan ini, penulis hendak menggali makna iman dan penderitaan dalam perspektif Alkitab dan Magisterium Gereja.
PEREMPUAN DI LINGKARAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN

Published: January 2022

Peran perempuan di wilayah pengetahuan menjadi tanda tanya tersendiri karena mereka dianggap lebih menggunakan perasaan daripada nalar. Ilmu pengetahuan dipahami sebagai dunia yang membutuhkan nalar yang kuat sehingga perempuan dianggap kurang cakap dalam menggeluti bidang ini. Pandangan ini membuat kaum perempuan dianggap lebih cocok berada di wilayah domestik daripada publik. Hal ini membuat para feminis merasa bahwa kaum perempuan telah diperlakukan tidak adil karena selalu dipojokkan pada bidang perasaan semata. Mereka kemudian melakukan penelitian untuk membongkar paradigma ini dan mencoba menulis kembali sejarahnya. Melalui beberapa penelitian, terlihat bahwa perempuan juga berperan dalam dunia pengetahuan. Di samping itu mereka menemukan bahwa pengetahuan yang terkesan keras tetap membutuhkan segi emosi dalam perkembangannya. Sebab, ilmu pengetahuan akan berdaya guna bila dapat bermanfaat bagi hidup orang banyak dan tetap memperhatikan alam sekitar. Hal lain yang menjadi pertimbangan adalah perlunya kerja sama antara perempuan dan laki-laki dalam mengembangkan ilmu pengetahuan bagi kesejahteraan hidup bersama. Hal ini juga dapat membongkar pemikiran bahwa perempuan juga bisa berguna dan bekerja di wilayah publik, bahwa banyak konstruksi budaya yang ada telah membelenggu hidup perempuan.

Fokus pembahasan dari studi ini adalah tentang dialog antaragama. Umat Katolik di Indonesia memiliki tugas suci untuk berdialog dengan agama-agama lain. Tugas suci ini merupakan bagian dari perutusan yang diberikan oleh Yesus Kristus sendiri untuk mewartakan kasih di tengah-tengah dunia, yang sekarang ini telah dilanda oleh krisis kemanusiaan di mana agama digunakan untuk menghasut orang kepada perang, kebencian, kekerasan, dan pertumpahan darah. Metodologi yang digunakan di dalam studi ini adalah metode deduktif dengan pendekatan analogis. Studi ini melihat ada kesejajaran gagasan antara dokumen Abu Dhabi artikel 23-24 dengan Theology of Margin Raymundus Sudhiarsa dan dokumen Fratelli Tutti. Studi ini menemukan bahwa ada lima tema yang dapat digumuli di dalam dialog antaragama, yaitu tema tentang tujuan agama, nilai luhur kehidupan, perdamaian, interpretasi ajaran yang benar, dan persaudaraan

Abstract

The focus of the discussion of this study is on interreligious dialogue. Catholics in Indonesia have a sacred duty to dialogue with other religions. This sacred task is part of the mission given by Jesus Christ Himself to spread love in the midst of the world, which today has been hit by a humanitarian crisis where religion is used to incite people to war, hatred, violence and bloodshed. The methodology used in this study is the deductive method with analogical approach. This study sees that there are parallels of ideas between the Abu Dhabi documents articles 23-24 with Raymundus Sudhiarsa's Theology of Margin and Fratelli Tutti's documents. This study found that there are five themes that can be explored in interreligious dialogue, namely the theme of religious goals, the noble values of life, peace, correct interpretation of teachings, and brotherhood.

This article describes the meaning of conscience according to the definition presented by the Second Vatican Council in the light of Thomistic and Carmelite perspectives and explains the depth of this definition, in order to dispel misconceptions about the meaning of conscience that are widely circulated, and show its proper role in the edifice of moral theology. For this reason, this article elaborates on the harmonious correlation between the two dimensions of conscience, namely, synderesis and conscientia, as well as the harmonious correlation they have with the virtue of prudence which is perfected by the gift of counsel from the Holy Spirit. The pastoral aspect of this article is presented in the end by analyzing the importance of conscience revived by the Church as presented in the apostolic exhortation of Amoris Laetitia.

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is an important food in Mexico that provides both macronutrients and bioactive substances that are beneficial for the health of its consumers, in particular it provides polyphenolic compounds such as anthocyanins that make it a functional food; the objective of the present work was to evaluate the content of polyphenols and their ferric iron reducing activity of beans grown in the Municipality of Hopelchen, Campeche (Mexico) to characterize their agronomic and alimentary value. The morphometric parameters of length, width, thickness, weight and volume were measured; An aqueous maceration of the bean seeds was carried out in an acid medium (0.1 M HCl) and the content of polyphenols (Folin Ciocalteu Method), anthocyanins (visible spectrophotometry) and determination of the Reducing Iron Power (FRAP, by the method of TPTZ) of the aqueous extracts. It was found that the concentration of anthocyanins correlates with the total content of polyphenols and with the reducing activity of the ferric ion, the aqueous extracts obtained had a content of total phenols of 413 mg EAG/100g of seed, of anthocyanins of 42 mg MGE/100 g of seed and an iron reducing power of 10.26 mol of Fe2+/g of seed. The morphometric characteristics and the polyphenol content of the Hopelchén bean demonstrate that the harvested grain is of good quality and corresponds to the expected values for this food.
