SISTEMAS AGROFLORESTAIS PARA A CAATINGA: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA EM IMPLANTAÇÃO NO IF BAIANO SERRINHA
Authors: Silva Kauã dos Santos , Gama Erasto Viana Silva , Marques Carla Teresa dos Santos
Published: October 2023

O Sistema Agroflorestal (SAF), também conhecido como agrofloresta, é um sistema que busca integrar de forma agroecológica o cultivo de árvores, arbustos e plantas herbáceas, com ou sem animais. A agrofloresta é uma alternativa sustentável para a produção de alimentos e renda para os agricultores da Caatinga, pois permite que o agricultor explore diferentes tipos de espécies que irão gerar uma grande variedade de produtos que podem ser comercializados ou consumidos pelo próprio produtor. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a experiência de implantação da unidade educativa de campo de sistema agroflorestal no Instituto Federal Baiano, Campus Serrinha. A elaboração do SAF teve como ponto de partida as atividades da disciplina de Sistemas de Produção Vegetal II (SPVII), e as etapas realizadas foram as seguintes: a) levantamento das espécies presentes na área, indicando seus usos e características; b) estudo de espécies potenciais para a composição de agroflorestas na Caatinga; c) planejamento da distribuição das espécies na área e marcação das linhas de plantio; d) roçagem da vegetação, preparo de covas e sulcos de plantio, além de escarificação das linhas de plantio; e) realização de um mutirão para implantação do SAF. Com o levantamento das espécies presentes na área, foi possível decidir quais espécies deveriam ficar na área e qual papel essas espécies iriam desempenhar no SAF, considerando a produção de biomassa, a produção de madeira, a fixação de nutrientes no solo, dentre outros. O mutirão foi realizado em 28 de abril de 2023 e contou com a cooperação e o envolvimento dos estudantes, professores, agricultores e parceiros, envolvidos num processo de troca e na construção de conhecimentos. Durante a realização do mutirão, plantaram-se mudas e sementes, além de dialogar sobre a necessidade de mudança de paradigma relacionado aos sistemas produtivos da Caatinga. Essa forma coletiva e solidária de trabalho possibilita a integração e troca de saberes entre os participantes e está contextualizada com os princípios da agroecologia. Todas as etapas do processo de implantação do Sistema Agroflorestal (SAF) foram enriquecedoras, pois permitiu aos estudantes por em prática todos os fundamentos e teorias aprendidos em sala, possibilitando a construção de conhecimento de forma integrada e holística. Essa atividade proporcionou aos estudantes, professores, agricultores e parceiros uma troca mútua de conhecimentos sobre as relações homem/natureza, além de destacar a importância da agrofloresta como uma possibilidade de produção sustentável para o domínio da Caatinga.

Authors: MANSOOR SAQIB , SUHAIL MUHAMMAD , SUHAIL AHMAD BILAL , ZIA AMINA , IQBAL SADIA , SHAFQAT FAIZA
Published: October 2023

Background: Piperine is a constituent of black pepper. When administered to female adult albino rats, it results in increased levels of LH and FSH, and thus causing diminished ability to procreate.

Aim: Is determining the deleterious piperine influences on LH and FSH levels of adult female albino rats.

Study design: It is Experimental

Location and experiment span: Deptt. of Anatomy, FPGMI, Lahore extending from 01-08-13 to 31-01-14

Methodology: By random selection from 30 rats, three equal groups were made, each with 10 animals. Control status was assigned to group A which was not given any medicine, but only N/S administered with the dosage 10ml/kg body wt./day by using NG tube for a span of 30 days. Group B was given piperine at dosage of 5mg/kg/day for a period of thirty days. The C group was administered drug at the dosage of 10mg per kg per day for the same period of time as A and B via the same route. At completion of thirty days of the study, the animals of the 3 groups were given euthanasia.  Dissection was performed, their ovaries were removed, and after that fixed in 10% formalin. Then, 4-5 micrometer sections preparation was done by using the microtome and then H&E staining was carried out.

Results: FSH and LH levels in serum of group B rats was shown to have increased in comparison to control group A. The FSH and LH levels in rats of C group was greater than that in rats of B group. When the two groups were compared, this difference was determined to be extremely of significance having a p-value less than 0.001.    

 

Conclusion: Giving Piperine to female adult albino rats was shown to cause significant increase in levels of FSH and LH which is likely to produce negative feedback on hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and in this way hamper female fertility during their productive years probably by causing PCOS.

Key words: Piperine, Albino rat, ovaries, LH, FSH, fertility, hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, PCOS

Authors: Abou Bakr Attique , Ahmad Amtiaz , Shazad Tayyab , Akram Madeha , Iqbal Janjua Fawad
Published: October 2023

Objective: The goals of this study were to better understand the impact that direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have on portal hypertension once a sustained viral response (SVR) has been achieved. Therefore, it is important to look at economical and noninvasive predictors. We looked into the factors that contributed to the emergence of EVs in hepatitis C infected patients after SVR with DAAs.

Study Design: Open-Label Single-Arm clinical trial

Setting: Department of Gastroenterology, AIMC/ Jinnah Hospital, Lahore

Duration of Study: The duration of study was 3 years and 4 months ( from June 2017 to October 2020)

 Methods: 109 patients who attained SVR post DAA therapy were enrolled in this study and their pre- and post-treatment esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) findings were compared. EV progression and non-progression were assessed. Additionally, EV cumulative advancement rates were examined.

Results: Before DAA treatment, the fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) was the only substantial predictor of EVs progression after SVR ( 95% confidence intervals: 1.25-1.54, odds ratios: 1.45,  p = 0.02). Based on ROC curve analysis, patients with a FIB-4 of 8.5 or higher had a higher risk of EVs (sensitivity = 0.69, specificity = 0.91, positive predictive value = 0.36, negative predictive value = 0.98).

   Conclusion: EV development is possible in patients with FIB-4≥ 8.5, so EGD surveillance should continue after SVR.

Authors: Surur Miftahus , Muzanni Muzanni
Published: October 2023

Globalisasi menjadikan dunia lebih terbuka dan lebih mudah terhubung satu sama lain. Hubungan manusia pun semakin rumit, terutama dalam aspek agama. Hal ini mendorong manusia untuk  lebih toleran menerima perbedaan satu sama lain. Namun, persoalan baru muncul saat manusia tidak lagi dapat mengenali perbedaan antara menghormati perbedaan dan mencampuradukkan perbedaan. Apalagi umat Islam Indonesia mengusung konsep Islam Nusantara yang lebih mengedepankan keluwesan, sopan-santun, dan kelemah-lembutan, sehingga menjadi pintu masuk arus globalisasi dan penetrasi berbagai budaya asing ke dalam budaya lokal. Berdasarkan latar tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan konsep wasathiyah Islam Nusantara dalam membangun moderasi pendidikan di era globalisasi. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian kualitatif dengan metode penelitian kepustakaan. Kesimpulannya menunjukkan bahwa wasathiyah Islam Nusantara dalam membangun moderasi pendidikan di era global dapat ditinjau dalam dua aspek, yaitu moderat dalam materi keilmuan (akidah, akhlak, dan syariah), dan moderat dalam metode pembelajaran (model dan media pembelajaran).

İDARE HUKUKUNDA GEREKÇE İLKESİ VE SAĞLADIĞI HUKUKİ KORUMA
Authors: TANRIVERDİ Ayşe Almıla
Published: October 2023

Gerekçe ilkesi idari işlem açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu önem, öncelikle hukuk devleti ilkesi ile gerekçe ilkesinin yakın ilişkisinden kaynaklanır. Gerekçe ilkesi, idare ve birey arasındaki ilişkiye de yön veren bir unsurdur. Gerekçe ilkesi, idareyi hukuk devletine yaklaştırarak bireyi idarenin karşısında tebaa olmaktan çıkarır. Sadece bu sonuç bile gerekçe ilkesini diğer idari usul ilkelerinin arasında farklı bir yere taşır. Bu noktada gerekçe ilkesinin yasal bir düzenlemesinin olup olmaması sorunu karşımıza çıkar. Türk idare hukukunda idari usule ilişkin genel ya da özel bir yasal düzenleme bulunmamaktadır. Esasen bir yasal düzenleme ihtiyacı olmaksızın 1982 Anayasasının 2. maddesinde yer alan hukuk devleti ilkesi gerekçe ilkesinin yasal dayanağı olarak kabul edilebilir. Gerekçe ilkesi hukuk devleti ilkesinin bir sonucu ve gereği olduğu düşünüldüğünde aslında bu sonuç kaçınılmaz olacaktır. Diğer taraftan gerekçe ilkesinin idarenin takdir yetkisini sınırlandırması gibi bir sonucu da bulunmaktadır ki bu da yine hukuk devleti ilkesi ile ilişkili ve hukuk devleti ilkesinin bir sonucudur.

Authors: Viteva Ekaterina
Published: October 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the COVID-19 vaccination willingness and the factors associated with vaccination hesitancy in Bulgarian patients with epilepsy. Methods: We included 103 (53 women and 50 men) Bulgarian patients with epilepsy. They completed
a validated questionnaire about socio-demographic and epilepsy-related characteristics, history of COVID-19 disease and COVID-19 vaccination, attitudes towards vaccines, and sources of information about COVID-19 disease and vaccination. Results: One-third of the participants were vaccinated
against COVID-19. The vaccination was associated with higher seizure severity p<.0015 (??2=5.95) and consultations with medical staff about vaccines p<.05 (??2=7.58). All of the vaccinated participants confirmed that vaccines were useful for most people
without causing long-term adverse events or complications (p<.001, ??2=44.29), that vaccination was the only way to gain immunity apart from acquiring the disease itself (p<.001, ??2=23.97) and that vaccination was also useful in healthy people with
no existing disease (p<.001, ??2=83.29). Conclusion: The results from our study suggest the need of a more active and directed to patients with epilepsy approach with provision of reliable information to the medical staff and general population.

Objectives:In this study, we explored the feasibility of predicting the risks of older adults′ cognitive function impairment using game-based intelligence tests combined with heart rate variability.Methods:We recruited 110 elderly participants from a dementia center in central Taiwan using cluster sampling. The research tools included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Game-based Intelligence Test (GBIT), and dynamic and static heart rate variability (HRV).Results:Multivariate stepwise regression analysis was performed for the GBIT on MMSE scores (65.1%). The key factors included the correct number of memory recalls and average attention time. Moreover, logistic regression analysis was conducted for GBIT combined with HRV to predict the high-risk group for cognitive function impairment. Key factors included the correct number of reactions, the correct number of memory recalls, and a very low-frequency power peak. The probability of correct classification was 78.18%.Conclusions:GBIT combined with HRV has predictive power on the risk of elderly cognitive function impairment. Hence, this study recommends that GBIT combined with HRV could be used at home or community bases as a feasible tool in predicting older adults′ cognitive function impairment.

Authors: Vurayai Simon
Published: October 2023

This conceptual study exploited the systematic literature review study as its methodology to examine the significance of parents in the implementation of the curriculum while deriving lessons from learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Epstein’s theory of overlapping spheres of
influence was commissioned as the bedrock of analysis in this study. The study focused on the strategies and challenges that were used by the parents to support their children’s learning as well as the possible solutions. The study found out that parents as implementers of curriculum
and curriculum innovation, used strategies such as e-learning, social media, listening to children’s concerns and providing accurate information. The parents’ efforts were however impeded by factors such as limited e-learning and related resources, perceived cost, lack of skill
and knowledge and time constrains. This study recommends that the government, community and school should recognise that parents are significant stakeholders in the implementation of curriculum and curriculum innovation and as such there is need to improve relationships, communication and
provision of resources to safeguard children’s learning in case future emergencies.
