Monumental Artworks as Difficult Heritage
Authors: Daly Selena
Published: November 2024

In 1936, Benito Mussolini invaded and occupied Ethiopia. The following year, he declared that Sicily represented „the geographical centre of the Empire“. This new Fascist empire and Sicily’s role within it gave rise to numerous interventions into the island’s urban landscape, from renaming streets and installing commemorative plaques to commissioning monumental colonially-themed artworks. It is on this last category that the present article focuses, examining three such works: two frescoes by Alfonso Amorelli for a privately-owned shopping arcade in Palermo; a mosaic by Michele and Basilio Cascella for a train station in Messina; and a series of frescoes by Gino Morici and Pippo Rizzo for the reception rooms of the local government headquarters in Ragusa. The article explores both the genesis of these works and then, primarily, the factors that have influenced their reception from the end of the Fascist regime in 1943 to today, considering the visibility of the works to the general public; their perceived quality and the artist’s reputation among art historians and critics; and the political and historical moment. Ultimately, the article asks to what extent these artworks should be regarded as examples of „difficult heritage“ and what the management of them in postwar Italy can reveal about memories of Fascist colonialism today.
Prolegomenon to Irenaeus’ Epistemology: The Source of
Adversus haereses
2,13,2 and the Five Powers of the Mind Tradition
Authors: McCashen Grayden
Published: November 2024

In AH 2,13,2 Irenaeus describes the activity of the mind as unfolding in a five-stage process, with each stage having a distinct name: ennoia, enthymēsis, phronēsis, boulē, and dialogismos. His account manifestly draws on philosophical psychology and epistemology, which has led scholars to assume he is using a source written by a member of one of the classical schools, a Stoic, Platonist, etc., whence he also derives his terms for the mind’s activity. This article argues to the contrary that Irenaeus drew the terminology for the five stages of the mind’s movement from his opponents. The terms themselves better fit a Jewish or Christian milieu than as technical terms of philosophical psychology. Such was the milieu of Irenaeus’ opponents, and indeed, nearly identical psychologies appear in cognate Nag Hammadi texts as well as later Christian texts, such as the Acts of Thomas, and as the Manichaean five-powers tradition. It is possible to arrange these sources so as to explain the presence of the five-powers tradition in each, including Irenaeus, without appealing to an unknown philosophical antecedent. Having established this, the article concludes by answering objections to the thesis and offering a prospectus for further research.
Saliency Response in Superior Colliculus at the Future Saccade Goal Predicts Fixation Duration during Free Viewing of Dynamic Scenes

Published: November 2024

Eye movements in daily life occur in rapid succession and often without a predefined goal. Using a free viewing task, we examined how fixation duration prior to a saccade correlates to visual saliency and neuronal activity in the superior colliculus (SC) at the saccade goal. Rhesus monkeys (three male) watched videos of natural, dynamic, scenes while eye movements were tracked and, simultaneously, neurons were recorded in the superficial and intermediate layers of the superior colliculus (SCs and SCi, respectively), a midbrain structure closely associated with gaze, attention, and saliency coding. Saccades that were directed into the neuron's receptive field (RF) were extrapolated from the data. To interpret the complex visual input, saliency at the RF location was computed during the pre-saccadic fixation period using a computational saliency model. We analyzed if visual saliency and neural activity at the saccade goal predicted pre-saccadic fixation duration. We report three major findings: (1) Saliency at the saccade goal inversely correlated with fixation duration, with motion and edge information being the strongest predictors. (2) SC visual saliency responses in both SCs and SCi were inversely related to fixation duration. (3) SCs neurons, and not SCi neurons, showed higher activation for two consecutive short fixations, suggestive of concurrent saccade processing during free viewing. These results reveal a close correspondence between visual saliency, SC processing, and the timing of saccade initiation during free viewing and are discussed in relation to their implication for understanding saccade initiation during real-world gaze behavior.
Introduction to the Special Section on Political Succession and Legitimation in Post-Soviet Eurasia
Authors: du Boulay Sofya
Published: November 2024

This special section aims to examine the relationship between succession and legitimation in post-Soviet Eurasia. Presidential successions in Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan offer valuable insights into the intricate nature of regime gaining and losing legitimacy in the aftermath of political succession. Since the early 2000s, the leaders of the four nations have advocated for constitutional amendments that have substantially enhanced presidential authority. In Kyiv, Minsk, Astana, and Baku, the established personal politics have favored the president, operating on principles of loyalty, cooptation, and clientelism, rather than relying solely on institutional regulations and electoral procedures. Elections in these states helped both to legitimize authoritarian rule and to spark violent uprisings against incumbent regimes. The coordinated succession in post-Soviet autocracies indicates that the reservoir of support to regime founders is robust, at least in the short term. The occurrence of post-electoral protests in Ukraine in 2004 and Belarus in 2020 and the Bloody January riots in Kazakhstan in 2022 serves as evidence of the erosion of personalistic rule. The lack of policy innovation or performative legitimation fosters a persistent desire for change, critical voices, and inter-elite rivalry. The incumbent regimes in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan used the guise of democratic legitimation to conceal their autocratic inclinations; Ukraine broke this cycle of personalistic tendencies and adhered to a democratic path. Autocratic stability aligns with the compulsion to reevaluate policy priorities and patronage networks during periods of succession.
LA CONFIGURACIÓN DEL LEGADO E IMAGINARIO GALLEGO EN LA DIÁSPORA
Authors: Real López Inmaculada
Published: November 2024

La cultura gallega del exilio republicano español es el tema que se propone abordar este artículo y que tiene como fin indagar en los orígenes del imaginario artístico desarrollado en la diáspora, especialmente por la intelectualidad instalada en Argentina. Se toma como referente la figura de Castelao por la relevancia que tuvo en la conformación de un corpus ideológico y artístico de gran influencia para el devenir posterior y que sería continuado por Luis Seoane, su sucesor en el compromiso cultural identitario procedente galleguismo. El artículo investiga sobre los principales nexos identitarios de Galicia , enfatizando la importancia de la lengua gallega y su defensa, que había que visibilizar, restaurar y conservar frente a su carácter meramente popular. A continuación, se analiza desde la fuente visual el imaginario gallego a la vez que se hace una comparativa con respecto al resto peninsular para demostrar el corpus que allí se crea y que va unido al discurso de Castelao en defensa de la peculiaridad que tiene esta parte de la Península Ibérica, presentando una problemática a la hora de decidir con qué término referirse al conjunto territorial.
Medžiugorjės bažnytinis giedojimas. Atspindžiai katalikų laikraštyje „Katolički list“
Authors: Tomić Draženko , Legac Vladimir
Published: November 2024

Međimurje is a region in the northwest of the Republic of Croatia. Among its many peculiarities, it is characterised by specific folk lyrical solo vocal female singing, the so-called Međimurska popevka (Folk song from Međimurje). In 2013, that traditional Međimurje song was declared an intangible cultural good of the Republic of Croatia. In 2018, it was put on the list of elements on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This article presents the results of the authors’ research into the writings of the weekly Katolički list (Catholic Newspaper) (Zagreb, 1849–1945) about Međimurje singing. It can be seen from the weekly that the people of Međimurje attracted attention with their singing at all church ceremonies and on other occasions. However, with the Caecilian reform of church singing (1870–1920), which was more intense in Croatia from 1907 onwards, Međimurje singing began to be valued differently by some individuals (mainly priests). Echoes of these musical turmoils are also found in the weekly Katolički list. Although the entries of this weekly must be thoroughly supplemented with a description of the socio-political circumstances of the time, including Međimurje singing, and especially with the description of the nature of the Caecilian movement, the patriotic importance and traditional value of that folk singing in northwest Croatia can be strongly glimpsed in all the recorded texts.

Досліджувана територія басейну р. Південний Буг перебуває в зоні суттєвого ризику внаслідок дефіциту водних ресурсів, формування екстремально низького стоку у меженний період, що потребує його визначення і прогнозування. Об’єктом дослідження є стік зимового, осіннього та літнього меженного періоду гідрологічних постів басейну р. Південного Бугу. Предмет дослідження – прогнозування стокових характеристик меженного стоку річок басейну Південного Бугу в зимовий, осінній та літній період. Мета роботи полягає в аналізі умов формування стоку меженного періоду в басейні р.Південний Буг та розробки методики територіального прогнозування меженного стоку річок в басейні р. Південний Буг та оцінки її ефективності, картографічному представленні прогнозних величин меженного стоку та визначенні імовірності їх настання у багаторічному періоді. В роботі використано багаторічні щоденні та середньодекадні витрати гідрологічних постів рр. Південний Буг, Синюха, Рів, Велика Вись, Ятрань, Кодима, Чорний Ташлик, Інгул. У басейні Південного Бугу найнижча межень властива для літньо-осіннього періоду, коли відбувається виснаження підземних вод, які формують стік. Зимова межень дещо вища внаслідок підживлення річки талими водами під час відлиг. Але в окремі роки з суворими зимами меженний стік так само низький, як і влітку. На формування меженного стоку істотно впливає господарська діяльність, особливо значна зарегульованість річки...

Вступ. Південний регіон України відомий своєю великою роллю у сільському господарстві. Зрошувані ґрунти цього регіону використовуються для вирощування різноманітних сільськогосподарських культур. Аналізуючи природні умови, важливо враховувати якість поливної води, оскільки це безпосередньо впливає на родючість ґрунтів та врожайність культур. Деградація зрошуваних ґрунтів може стати серйозною загрозою для аграрного сектору економіки країни. Екологічна рівновага в зоні функціонування агроекосистеми значною мірою залежить від хімічного складу води, що використовується для зрошення. Якісні показники зрошувальної води: температура, рН, сольовий склад, співвідношення іонів, вміст макро- та мікроагрегатів впливають на мікробіологічні, біохімічні та фізико-хімічні процеси, які визначають родючість ґрунтів. Разом з тим, якість зрошувальної води впливає на норми водоспоживання, урожайність та якість сільськогосподарської продукції, збереження та довговічність матеріалів і в цілому споруд систем зрошення. Найбільш активно діючим фактором у формуванні ґрунтово-меліоративного стану зрошуваних земель є хімічний склад поливної води.

Disordered Eating Profiles in Adolescence to Early Adulthood and Future Cardiometabolic Health
Authors: Pereira Rita , Araújo Joana , Severo Milton , Ramos Elisabete , Oliveira Andreia
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Evidence is scarce on the clustering patterns of disordered eating dimensions or symptoms and their effects on future cardiometabolic health. This study examines associations of disordered eating trajectory profiles (from 13 to 21 years), with BMI and related cardiometabolic features at ages 21, 24 and 27.

METHODS

Participants are from the Epidemiological Health Investigation of Teenagers cohort (Porto, Portugal). At 13, 17 and 21 years, 3 Eating Disorder Inventory subscales were assessed (drive for thinness, bulimia and body dissatisfaction), and a latent class analysis derived trajectory profiles. Associations with BMI and having ≥1 metabolic syndrome feature at 21 (n = 1619), 24 (n = 916) and 27 years (n = 720) were tested using generalized linear models and binary logistic regressions.

RESULTS

The following 4 profiles were obtained: “higher” levels (highest severity of symptoms at all ages, 16-19%), “increasing” (especially of body concerns, 26-28%), “decreasing” (18-19%), and “lower” (highest proportion of individuals with low/without disordered eating, 35-37%). Compared with the lower levels profile, both sexes with higher and increasing disordered eating presented heightened BMI at 21, 24 and 27 years. Women in the higher levels profile had higher odds of having ≥1 metabolic syndrome feature at 21 and 24 years, while men with higher and increasing disordered eating presented increased odds at 21, 24 and 27 years.

CONCLUSIONS

Individuals, particularly males, with higher or increasing disordered eating levels from 13 to 21 years of age presented a higher risk of worsened cardiometabolic health up to 6 years later in adulthood.

Mediante técnicas de clusterización se ajusta al país un indicador definido por Eurostat para identificar las actividades intensivas en conocimiento (AIC). Su aplicación evidencia la exigua penetración de las AIC en la estructura económica, dada su participación en la producción (39,2%), así como en el mercado laboral (30,7%). Las dos actividades que más contribuyen a la producción no califican como AIC, tampoco la relacionada con “alta tecnología” y responsable del primer bien de exportación. Al excluir las ramas de Educación y Salud su aporte a la producción se reduce al 27,9%. El escaso peso de las AIC vinculadas con ciencia y tecnología en el empleo (18%) y en la producción (8,3%) dificulta las aspiraciones de competir globalmente como una sociedad del conocimiento basada en la innovación. Las AIC se acentúan en el sector servicios (38,3%); su participación en manufactura es mínimo (6,3%) y nulo para el sector agropecuario.

It is the first 1000 days of a child’s life that are critical for neuroontogenesis, the formation of further abilities to acquire and improve various skills, and to learn successfully. It is the first 1000 days of a child’s life that are critical for neuroontogenesis, the formation of further abilities to acquire and improve various skills, and to learn successfully. Breast milk is the “gold standard” of nutrition for all newborns, including children with functional digestive disorders and food allergies. Supporting and promoting adherence to breastfeeding in the first 6 months of a child’s life are the most important tasks for all medical professionals providing medical care to children. The most common pathological conditions among children of the first year of life are functional digestive disorders and manifestations of food allergies, in which diet therapy is the main type of treatment. In situations where breast milk is not available to such an infant, it is important to make the right choice of formula. Modern formulas for artificial feeding of newborns and infants have a number of useful properties due to the features of the composition, which bring them as close as possible to breast milk, specially designed to provide adequate nutrition and simultaneously perform therapeutic tasks.
Optimal strategy of new 6H-1,3,4-thiadiazines synthesis in search of the promising antidiabetic agents

Published: November 2024

In this work, we report a convenient method for the preparation of new 2-hydroxyethylamino-substituted 6Н-1,3,4-thiadiazine hydrobromides for the search of new agents with pleiotropic (antioxidant and antiglycating) activity. The synthesis is based on the cyclocondensation reaction of 4-substituted thiosemicarbazide with various α-haloketones. We compared approaches to the key intermediate for the synthesis of the 6H-1,3,4-thiadiazine system – 4-substituted thiosemicarbazide. The approach we proposed was modified to obtain the intermediate and is based on the reaction of a substituted carbamothioylthioacetate with hydrazine. This approach has a number of advantages, like fewer stages, atom economy, elimination of stages with the isolation of undesirable by-products, availability of starting materials and simplicity of the procedure. New 2-hydroxyethylamino-5-substituted 6H-1,3,4-thiadiazine hydrobromides were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and elemental analysis.

The increase in the incidence of tuberculosis, especially in the post-Covid period, associated with the presence of latent infections and multiple drug resistance, dictates the need to develop new antimicrobial drugs. Here we wish to report the synthesis of 3,6-disubstituted 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives containing N-, O- and C-nucleophile residues, as well as pharmacophoric hydrazone and oligooxyethylene fragments, and their screening against the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Substances with pronounced antimycobacterial activity in vitro were identified (MIC = 0.18–3.12 μg/ml). An acute toxicity in vivo and membranotropic properties towards biometals have been studied for the most active compounds.

Relevance. The study of inclusive economic growth remains highly relevant as the concept of growth continues to evolve. Measuring and analysing its determinants offers opportunities to foster inclusive growth at both regional and national levels. Research Objective. This study analyses inclusive economic growth in East Java's districts and cities from 2018-2022 by comparing two measurement models: the Social Mobility Curve (SMC), which focuses on income distribution and economic growth, and the Poverty Equivalent Growth Rate (PEGR), which incorporates poverty, inequality, and unemployment. Data and Method. Using data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the National Labour Force Survey (SAKERNAS), and the National Socioeconomic Survey (SUSENAS) for 2018-2022, this study applies the SMC and PEGR models and conducts panel data regression to analyse inclusive growth and its determinants. Results. The findings reveal that economic growth in East Java lacks inclusivity. Income distribution inequality persists across districts and cities, as shown by the SMC results. The PEGR model also indicates ongoing challenges in reducing poverty and unemployment inclusively. Key factors such as the share of manufacturing in GRDP and employment opportunities significantly impact inclusive growth. Conclusions. Encouraging investment growth can create a favourable business climate across all districts/cities, supporting a more equitable contribution to GRDP. As employment opportunities play a significant role in inclusive growth, boosting employment through investment can improve access to education and healthcare, while addressing unemployment. To combat inequality and poverty, the government must refine its data collection on the poor to better target beneficiaries.
Sykepleierstudenters erfaringer med utprøving av digitalt veiledningsverktøy i praksis på bo- og omsorgssenter
Authors: Gundersen Ellen Dahl , Floberg-Haugen Elise
Published: November 2024

Bakgrunn: Et digitalt veiledningsverktøy, MOSO, ble utprøvd som et av fire tiltak i et regionalt rekrutteringsprosjekt som hadde fokus på tilrettelegging for positive praksiserfaringer i kommunale helse- og omsorgsinstitusjoner for sykepleierstudenter i første studieår. Artikkelen presenterer studentenes erfaringer med utprøvingen av MOSO.
Metode: Det ble gjennomført åtte fokusgruppeintervjuer med totalt 40 studenter, fem i hvert intervju. Datamaterialet ble analysert tematisk, etter inspirasjon fra Braun og Clarke.
Resultater: Studentene opplevde at MOSO ikke var tilpasset sykepleiepraksis og hadde manglende nytteverdi sammen med de andre tiltakene i prosjektet. Samtidig verdsatte de å ha en digital plattform til informasjon, kommunikasjon og refleksjon i praksisstudiene.
Konklusjon: Utprøvingen av digitalt veiledningsverktøy understøttet i liten grad formålet om gode praksiserfaringer for sykepleierstudentene. Samtidig indikerer resultatene at studenter kan dra nytte av en digital samhandlingsplattform i praksisstudiene. Studien belyste også viktigheten av grundige forberedelser og opplæring i digitale verktøy, samt tilpasning av programvare til målgruppe og kontekst.
AGEISMO NO CONTINUUM DA VIDA LABORAL DE PROFESSORES UNIVERSITÁRIOS

Published: November 2024

O convívio intergeracional, também no ambiente laboral, é uma realidade e traz implicações para a vida das pessoas. Portanto, demanda-se reconhecer a diversidade geracional entre os trabalhadores, desnudando e discutindo o ageismo. É nessa lógica que se tem como objetivo deste artigo analisar o ageismo ao longo continuum da vida laboral de professores universitários numa universidade comunitária. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo, com pesquisa exploratório-descritiva e com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de história de vida, grupo focal e pesquisa documental, possibilitando a triangulação dos dados na análise temática.  Estereótipos positivos e negativos foram detectados como antecedentes ao ageismo ao longo da vida laboral dos pesquisados, confirmando a recorrência do ageismo, sobretudo nos anos inicias e finais da carreira docente. Acredita-se que os resultados da pesquisa trouxeram contribuições teóricas, principalmente na lógica decolonial e ao longo da carreira dos profissionais; contribuições práticas para as Instituições de ensino superior, ainda mais para a pesquisada; contribuições sociais, na medida em que estereótipos, preconceitos e discriminações são expostos; contribuições metodológicas em razão de que o tema é mais trabalhado quantitativamente e pouco se utiliza a história de vida enquanto técnica de coleta de dados e, a análise temática, como técnica de análise de dados. Assim, acredita-se no potencial da repercussão desta pesquisa na vida pessoal das pessoas, bem como na laboral e na sociedade.

Modern kültürden günümüze gündelik hayatın fragman halinde yaşanmışlığı karşısında imajlar, bu fragmanları düzenleme imkânı sunmuştur. Bu düzenleme tekniği parçalı hayatın yeni bir anlam bütünlüğü kazanması demektir. İmajlar sayesinde dünyaya bakan özne, kendi güvenli temsil alanını kurmuştur. Ancak imajlar her zaman kaygı benzeri bir etkiyi içlerinde taşımaktadırlar. Tekinsiz ifadesi bu çalışmada söz konusu etkiyi karşılamaktadır. Konu edilen dijital imajlar da gerçeğin yerini alma iddiasında olmalarına karşılık tekinsiz etkiye potansiyel olarak sahiptirler. Fotoğraf ve sinema gibi medyaların ürettiği imajlar gibi dijital imaj da içerisinde boşluklar taşımıştır. Çalışma bu boşluğu imajın potansiyeli olarak önermektedir. Bu potansiyel, imajın teknikleşmesinin aşılması ve estetik tetiklemelerin hesapsız olabilmesini karşılamaktadır. Çalışma geçen yüzyıldan bu yana imaj teknolojilerinin kaygının üzerini örtme amacının dijital imaj için de geçerli olduğunu önermektedir. Örneklem olarak alınan sanatçılar dijital imajın tekinsiz gücünü kullanmış oldukları için seçilmişlerdir. Çalışma konuyla ilgili literatürün kriz ve tekinsiz açısından okunmasıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak günümüz görsel kültüründe dijital imajın tekinsiz etkilerinin amacının parçalı bir dünyayı hissettirmek olduğu önerilmektedir.

Published: November 2024

This protocol provides a step-by-step guide for maintaining diverse Drosophila species in the laboratory. It assumes that the user has prepared food and established fly colonies. The protocol begins by outlining the preparation of food vials. This includes adding Kimwipes soaked in 0.5% propionic acid to the vials to provide a pupation substrate and increase humidity. We have found this addition to be particularly beneficial for more challenging species. We also detail the process of transferring flies between vials, maintaining accurate records, and establishing a fly emergency room for struggling lines. Using these procedures, we have successfully maintained nearly 90 Drosophila species, including those from the Sophophora and Drosophila subgenera, as well as mushroom specialists like Scaptomyza pallida with the addition of mushrooms.
Understanding Well-Being Through Children’s Eyes: Lessons for Shaping the Built Environment
Authors: Million Angela , Schamun Katrin , Fegter Susann
Published: November 2024

The role of socio-spatial contexts in promoting children’s well-being in urban planning and design is gaining attention. Nevertheless, the discourse on children’s well-being has primarily been shaped by adults, often overlooking the unique needs and perspectives of younger populations. This interdisciplinary study located in Berlin, Germany, conducted by educational scientists, planners, and architects, challenges this by directly engaging with children through game-based data collection combined with ethnographic research to explore their well-being needs. From children’s centers and schools to digital worlds, neighborhoods, and interactions with crime, children clearly articulate where, how, when, and with whom they create moments of well-being. The findings highlight the importance of children’s centers as well-being hubs, offering insights into how well-being can be nurtured through both physical design and programmatic offerings tailored to children’s needs. A key insight is the role of religious places and family practices, alongside micro-spaces and translocal references provided by neighborhood spaces, in shaping children’s sense of identity and well-being. Additionally, the importance of having access to digital spaces is emphasized by the children. The study contributes to the discourse on child-friendly cities by advocating for multi-scalar planning and design approaches. The research calls for urban planners and designers to integrate children’s perspectives to design spaces that accommodate the full spectrum of children’s well-being needs, including micro-scale interventions and flexible, child-responsive interior designs.

BACKGROUND: Despite the development of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for treating lung cancer, the problem of its recurrence, generalization or metastasis remains relevant. The main treatment for localized lung cancer is surgery. The extent of resection is determined by the location of the tumor, its spread to surrounding tissues and the status of lymph node involvement. However, even after removing a large part of the lung, metastatic foci may remain in healthy tissue. To improve the efficiency of diagnostics during surgery, fluorescence navigation surgery can be used, based on the use of fluorescent dyes, which makes it possible to see even small accumulations of malignant cells in the early stages of the development of the tumor process.
AIM: To develop a drug for fluorescence navigation surgery based on aptamers and fluorescent gold nanoclusters (fluorescence excitation wavelength: 365–410nm, emission wavelength 615–650nm).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The object of the study was primary cultures of non-small cell lung cancer. Liposomes functionalized with the DNA aptamer LC-17 were used to deliver gold nanoclusters stabilized with glutathione (GSH-AuNCs) or bovine serum albumin (BSA-AuNCs) to lung cancer cells. Electron microscopic images of the synthesized nanoclusters were obtained using transmission electron microscopy. Analysis of the efficiency of binding of tumor cells to liposomes containing nanoclusters and functionalized aptamers was carried out using flow cytometry. Lung adenocarcinoma tissue was used to evaluate the effectiveness of fluorescent nanoclusters.
RESULTS: The diameter of the BSA-AuNCs and GSH-AuNCs nanoclusters was 1.8±0.5nm and 1.5±0.3nm, respectively. When excited by light with a wavelength of 365nm, the maximum fluorescence emission for BSA-AuNCs was 655nm, and for GSH-AuNCs it was 613nm. The fluorescence quantum yields for BSA-AuNCs and GSH-AuNCs were 6% and 14%, respectively. Liposomes functionalized with the LC-17 aptamer and containing GSH-AuNCs and BSA-AuNCs were bound to lung adenocarcinoma cells and stained them.
CONCLUSION: The potential possibility of using gold nanoclusters stabilized by GSH-AuNCs and BSA-AuNCs for fluorescence-guided surgery has been demonstrated.

Ikan opah (Lampris guttatus) merupakan salah satu jenis ikan laut yang mengandung kadar formaldehida alami cukup tinggi. Hal tersebut menjadi hambatan utama karena disebabkan oleh pendeteksian formaldehida alami dan formaldehida artifisial yang ditambahkan. Pembusukan pada ikan dapat mengakibatkan pembentukan formaldehida secara alami melalui reduksi enzimatik trimetilamina oksida (TMAO), yang mengarah pada pembentukan produk sampingan, yaitu formaldehida dan dimetilamina (DMA). Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan indikator pembeda antara formaldehida alami dan artifisial berdasarkan parameter kemunduran mutu pada ikan opah selama 14 hari penyimpanan suhu chilling. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap faktorial (RALF) dengan perlakuan penambahan konsentrasi formaldehida 0, 2 dan 4% serta waktu penyimpanan selama 14 hari. Parameter yang diamati, yaitu pH, total volatile base (TVB), formaldehida (FA), dan dimetilamina (DMA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi formaldehida 0% memiliki nilai yang berbeda nyata dengan konsentrasi lainnya. Formaldehida (FA) dapat menjadi indikator kuat sebagai pembeda asal formaldehida pada ikan. Parameter lain, yaitu pH, TVB dan DMA tidak dapat dijadikan sebagai indikator tunggal, tetapi kombinasi keempat parameter kemunduran mutu dapat digunakan sebagai indikator kuat pembeda asal formaldehida pada ikan opah.

Następstwa kryzysów migracyjnych po 2015 roku dla polityki imigracyjnej i azylowej Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Tutak Grzegorz
Published: November 2024

Celem artykułu jest analiza zmian, jakie wprowadzono w polityce imigracyjnej i azylowej Unii Europejskiej po 2015 r. w wyniku zaistniałych kryzysów migracyjnych. Postawiono następujące pytania badawcze: Jak kryzysy migracyjne po 2015 r. wpłynęły na zmianę podejścia do problematyki migracji i polityki migracyjnej w UE? Czy UE jako wspólnota potrafi wypracować wspólne kompleksowe podejście do migracji odpowiadające wyzwaniom bezpieczeństwa? Czy wspomniane kryzysy wpływają na zdolność UE do oddziaływania na środowisko międzynarodowe? Z jednej strony kryzysy migracyjne pokazały słabość instrumentów zarządzania migracjami przez UE, z drugiej strony dały impuls do stworzenia nowego, kompleksowego podejścia do migracji, którego wyrazem jest Pakt o Migracji i Azylu. Pomimo wypracowanego konsensusu w podejściu do migracji, wciąż w UE są silne przekonania o konieczności rozwiązywania problemu migracji na poziomie narodowym.
Desafíos del servicio universal argentino en materia de telecomunicaciones: nuevos reglamentos, viejos problemas
Authors: Mocoroa Juan M.
Published: November 2024

El sector de las telecomunicaciones argentino ha tenido en los últimos años fuertes novedades regulatorias. A partir de esas novedades, en este trabajo se pretenden identificar las razones que justifican la intervención regulatoria estatal en este sector. Asimismo, se busca llamar la atención sobre los elementos que definen el servicio universal en esta industria. Bajo este enfoque, se describen diversas medidas estatales dictadas recientemente, las cuales pueden ser identificadas con la clásica actividad de fomento de la Administración pública. El presente trabajo sostiene que existe una contradicción entre las acciones del regulador y del ejecutivo: mientras que la autoridad regulatoria busca incentivar inversiones en aquellos lugares donde el mercado no puede o no quiere llegar, el ejecutivo las desalienta. Ese desaliento es llevado a cabo a través de medidas que no parecen estar sustentadas en los principios regulatorios que justifican la intervención estatal.
El derecho administrativo interamericano de las contrataciones públicas
Authors: Hernández G. José Ignacio
Published: November 2024

En el derecho administrativo de América Latina, la visión tradicional de las contrataciones públicas descansaba en el concepto de la licitación pública como el procedimiento previo que limita la libertad de contratación de la Administración. La globalización ha promovido un cambio en esta visión para realzar el rol de las contrataciones públicas en las políticas del desarrollo, tomando en cuenta su peso en la economía. Esta visión ha permeado al derecho interamericano a través de la Red Interamericana de Compras Gubernamentales. La red ha facilitado la sistematización de principios generales que se han traducido en diversas reformas que apuntalan la visión de las políticas de compras públicas orientadas a la promoción del bien común. Estos principios conforman la base del derecho administrativo Interamericano de contrataciones públicas.

Pisarz-scenarzysta-krytyk filmowy. Przypadek Wojciecha Kuczoka
Authors: Grodź Iwona
Published: November 2024

Praktyka krytyczna – utożsamiona często z „grą” czy „strategią” – może wprowadzać ład i równowagę. Przede wszystkim jednak odsyła do oceny, a więc też rodzaju buntu przeciwko skostniałym strukturom, wzorcom. Pytanie badawcze: „Czy przykładem tak pojętej pracy może być zawód krytyka filmowego, szczególnie, gdy jest on jednocześnie twórcą?” Jedną z możliwych odpowiedzi na nie jest przykład „piśmiennictwa filmowego” Wojciecha Kuczoka. Autor Senności łączy w swojej działalności artystycznej dwie kompetencje: artysty i interpretatora-krytyka.

Improved Seed Storage Technique in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cv. G7 in Coastal Environment
Authors: Ramanadane T. , Gnanasekar R. , Hemalatha G. , Kamatchi A. , Kartic D.
Published: November 2024

Background: Non-availability of good quality seeds at the right time is a major problem faced by groundnut growers. Groundnut seeds lose their viability quickly due to several biotic and abiotic factors during storage. Seed moisture content, storage temperature and relative humidity are three major factors affecting seed storability in coastal environments. Generally, groundnut seeds are stored as pods in gunny bags. Those seeds lose their viability rapidly due to the moisture-pervious nature of the container. Vacuum storage techniques may help in protecting the seed quality from the external environment in coastal areas. Methods: With this background, the experiment was conducted with two major objectives, to prolong the seed storability of groundnut and to reduce storage volume by using the kernel storage method in the place of pod storage. Each 20 kilograms of freshly harvested pods and 10 kilograms of kernels of Groundnut cv. G7 were treated with double spectrum fungicide (Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5%) and stored in three different containers viz., Gunny bag, High-Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) bag and Super grain bag comprising a total of 12 treatments and those were tested at bimonthly intervals to assess the quality. Result: The results shown that all the seed quality traits were differed significantly with duration of storage, storage container, method of storage and seed treatment. Irrespective of containers, untreated kernels lose their viability within a month of storage. Further, treated and untreated pods and kernels stored in gunny bags failed to fulfill the minimum germination standards (70%) after three months of storage. However, the kernels treated with fungicide and stored in HDPE or Super grain bags fulfilled minimum germination standards even after 11 months of storage. Hence, groundnut kernels treated with fungicide may be safely stored in Super grain bags or HDPE bags with reduced volume of storage as compared to pod storage. Accordingly, kernel storage in groundnut is possible if kernels pre-treated with double spectrum fungicide (Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5%) and stored in super grain bags or HDPE bags. Thus, the results have a high degree of practical utility for groundnut farmers and seed growers.
