Este trabalho descreve o desenvolvimento e validação de metodologia analítica para determinar a concentração de fluoreto em água empregada para a preparação de soluções de diálise, por meio de potenciometria com eletrodo íon seletivo. Os parâmetros de validação investigados foram: seletividade, homoscedasticidade, linearidade, limite de detecção, limite de quantificação, veracidade de medição e precisão. As condições otimizadas de análise foram: tampão HOAc/-OAc/NaCl/CDTA (pH = 5,0 ± 0,1), na proporção 10:1 (amostra/tampão); concentrações das soluções-padrão da curva analítica: 0,05 a 0,80 mg/L. O método avaliado exibiu parâmetros de validação adequados com limites de detecção e de quantificação, respectivamente, de 0,020 e 0,050 mg/L. Ademais, foi também desenvolvida e validada uma planilha eletrônica para efetuar o monitoramento da qualidade da curva analítica do método que calcula o limite de decisão para 0,20 mg/L.

A amoxicilina é penicilina sintética de uso em ambiente hospitalar, residencial e veterinário. O uso indiscriminado deste medicamento pode acarretar prejuízos sociais e ambientais. O presente trabalho determinou os níveis de amoxicilina em dois rios localizados no sudoeste do estado da Bahia, rios Água Fria e Verruga. Uma metodologia analítica foi desenvolvida, otimizada e validada para efetuar a determinação de resíduos de amoxicilina, empregando-se a cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência acoplada ao detector UV-visível (CLAE-UV). A avaliação do mérito do método foi baseada nos parâmetros cromatográficos de validação: linearidade, limites de detecção e quantificação, precisão, exatidão e seletividade. Devido à inexistência de valores máximos de amoxicilina aceitáveis para a água de consumo, os resultados obtidos podem constituir um indicativo dos níveis de contaminação dos recursos hídricos por este medicamento. As maiores concentrações, superiores a 11 mg.L-1 deste antibiótico, foram detectadas nas zonas onde recebem aportes dos deflúvios urbanos. Os parâmetros de validação demonstraram que o método apresentou capacidade de detecção de baixos valores dos limites de quantificação (2,7 mg.L-1) e de detecção (0,7 mg.L-1), boa precisão (DPR 7 %) e exatidão (96,75 %), constituindo-se em uma importante ferramenta na avaliação de teores de amoxicilina.

Published: October 2023

Leishmaniose tegumentar americana (LTA) é uma doença infecciosa causada por Leishmania. O diagnóstico é realizado em material de biópsias das lesões, cuja coleta é feita por médicos. Para simplificar a coleta de amostra, este estudo propõe um procedimento minimamente invasivo, realizando-se a raspagem das bordas da lesão. O diagnóstico por PCR foi comparado com o exame microscópico,analisando-se 28 amostras coletadas de pacientes com suspeita de LTA. Cada amostra, coletada da borda da lesão com um palito estéril, foi dividida em duas alíquotas. Uma foi analisada pelo exame microscópico direto e a outra pela técnica de PCR, utilizando-se dois pares de oligonucleotídeos (um específico para gênero Leishmania, e outro para L. (V.) braziliensis). Das 28 amostras, 27 (96,43 %) apresentaram resultados concordantes em ambas as metodologias (oito positivas e 20 negativas). A PCR em material de raspado da borda de lesões foi mais sensível quando comparado com o exame direto. A metodologia de PCR apresenta vantagens para: (i) determinar as espécies de Leishmania; (ii) oferecer um meio alternativo de coleta de amostras, quando os serviços de saúde não têm o profissional autorizado para coletar o material de biópsia; (iii) propor um procedimento minimamente invasivo de coleta de amostra biológica.

A esporotricose é uma micose subcutânea de implantação causada pelo fungo dimórfico Sporothrix spp. que acomete seres humanos e animais, sendo rara em cães e com baixo potencial zoonótico. O presente relato refere-se a um cão da raça Yorkshire Terrier, fêmea, com um ano de idade, sem histórico de contato com felinos, que apresentou lesão cutânea em membro torácico direito, resistente ao tratamento com antibiótico. A amostra obtida da biópsia excisional da lesão foi enviada para realização de exame histopatológico (H&E, PAS e Grocott) e análise imuno-histoquímica para a investigação de dermatozoonoses. Os resultados confirmaram o diagnóstico de Sporothrix spp. O animal foi tratado com itraconazol (10 mg/kg/dia via oral durante 120 dias). Não foram observadas lesões após 11 meses do início do tratamento. Atualmente, a esporotricose não é considerada como doença de notificação compulsória. Entretanto, é importante conscientizar os profissionais veterinários quanto ao potencial zoonótico da doença, e quanto às características clínicas, que podem ser sutis e semelhantes à outras dermatopatias comuns.

Cronobacter spp. emergiu como perigo microbiológico em fórmulas infantis desidratadas (FID), responsável por infecções graves em neonatos. Contudo, muitos pacientes não ingeriram FID, o que indica que outros alimentos podem atuar como veículo do patógeno. Os objetivos deste estudo foram pesquisar Cronobacter spp. em alimentos infantis, identificar as espécies e avaliar o perfil de suscetibilidade aos antimicrobianos das cepas isoladas. Foram analisadas 47 amostras pré-cozidas de cereais à base de grãos, amidos de milho e farinhas lácteas. A pesquisa foi realizada com pré-enriquecimento em água peptonada tamponada, enriquecimento seletivo no Cronobacter Screening Broth, isolamento por meio de Enterobacter sakazakii Isolation Agar e identificação no Vitek 2.0. A identificação das espécies foi realizada por reação em cadeia pela polimerase com alvo nos genes rpoB e cgcA. O antibiograma foi realizado pelo método de difusão em ágar (Kirby-Bauer). Cronobacter spp. foi identificada em 11 amostras (23,4 %). Oito cepas foram identificadas como C. sakazakii (72,7 %), duas como C. malonaticus (18,2 %) e uma como C. dublinensis (9,1 %). Apenas uma cepa de C. malonaticus apresentou resistência intermediária a ciprofloxacina. Os produtos destinados à alimentação infantil avaliados podem apresentar risco, no caso destes alimentos serem ingeridos por pacientes pertencentes ao grupo de risco, como neonatos e idosos.

A fritura por imersão é um processo de cocção utilizado pela inclusão de textura e sabor aos alimentos. Foi analisada a oxidação térmica inicial de cinco óleos vegetais comestíveis utilizados para fritura de imersão. Amostras de óleos foram aquecidas duas vezes por 30 minutos, a 180 ºC e depois a 240 ºC, simulando-se as temperaturas de fogões domésticos. As temperaturas de decomposição dos óleos foram determinadas por TG, sendo > 250 ºC. O perfil de FA foi analisado por GC-FID, detectando-se pequeno decréscimo dos UFA nos óleos de milho e soja. Nos óleos de canola, oliva e girassol, os UFA foram estáveis após o tratamento térmico. A menor decomposição dos FA foi detectado no óleo de canola, seguido de milho, oliva, soja e girassol. Análises por espectroscopia NIR resultaram em grande sobreposição das bandas. Os espectros foram modelados por PCA, classificando-se os óleos em dois grupos: óleo fresco e óleo aquecido, principalmente pelas diferenças na região de 1900 nm, relacionadas ao decréscimo do sinal de carboxilas, e associadas à degradação inicial dos FA nas amostras. Ainda que parcialmente, pode-se entender o que ocorre com os óleos vegetais no início de termo-decomposição, abrangências que são úteis para consumidores, indústria alimentícia e órgão de vigilância sanitária.

Published: October 2023

O presente estudo teve por objetivo determinar o perfil etiológico e a sensibilidade antimicrobiana dos principais micro-organismos isolados do sangue de pacientes internados em hospitais privados de Cascavel/PR, por meio de análise de laudos de hemoculturas, realizadas no período de janeiro de 2012 e dezembro de 2014. De 5059 exames realizados, 613 (12,12 %) apresentaram hemocultura positiva, com predominância em amostras de pacientes do sexo masculino (59,54 %) e em indivíduos acima de 50 anos (70,29 %). Foram isoladas 27 espécies bacterianas, sendo Staphylococcus aureus a mais prevalente (17,94 %), seguida por Staphylococcus epidermidis (16,26 %) e Klebsiella pneumoniae (14,52 %). Os cocos Gram positivos (CGP) apresentaram maior sensibilidade à vancomicina e minociclina, enquanto as Enterobacteriaceas e Pseudomonas aeruginosa foram sensíveis aos antibióticos imipenem e meropenen. Acinetobacter baumanii foi a espécie que apresentou maior resistência aos antimicrobianos, com sensibilidade intermediária apenas à polimixina B e tigeciclina. O presente estudo demonstrou que os CGP são as bactérias mais prevalentes em exames de hemoculturas realizados nos hospitais analisados, com destaque para S. aureus e S. epidermidis. O teste de sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos não é uma estratégia comumente aplicada apesar de sua importância na utilização adequada de antibioticoterapia, e para evitar o tratamento incorreto e a resistência bacteriana.

Cronobacter spp. é um patógeno oportunista que pode causar infecções em indivíduos de qualquer idade, cuja incidência é maior em neonatos, pacientes imunocomprometidos e idosos. Neste estudo Cronobacter spp. foi pesquisado em 90 amostras de queijos (30 do tipo Minas Frescal, 30 do tipo Prato e 30 do tipo Prato fatiado). As espécies isoladas foram identificadas, e foi avaliado o perfil de suscetibilidade a antimicrobianos. A pesquisa foi realizada utilizando-se pré-enriquecimento em água peptonada tamponada, enriquecimento seletivo no caldo lauril sulfato triptose contendo vancomicina, isolamento no meio Enterobacter sakazakii Isolation Agar e identificação no Vitek 2.0. As espécies foram identificadas por meio de múltipla PCR com alvo no gene cgcA. O antibiograma foi realizado pela técnica de difusão em ágar (Kirby-Bauer). Cronobacter spp. foi isolada em uma (1,1 %) amostra de queijo tipo Minas Frescal, identificada como C. sakazakii que apresentou sensibilidade a todos os antimicrobianos testados. Cronobacter spp. pode não representar risco à saúde dos indivíduos pelo consumo de queijos produzidos com leite pasteurizado. Entretanto, a presença de Cronobacter spp. em uma amostra de queijo demonstra falhas na produção, o que reforça a necessidade de maior adesão às Boas Práticas de Fabricação.

A contaminação por aflatoxinas tem sido considerada um problema de saúde pública principalmente em países tropicais, incluindo o Brasil. Com o intuito de investigar a presença de aflatoxinas do tipo B em produtos comercializados na cidade de Fortaleza, 23 amostras foram analisadas por meio de cromatografia em camada delgada. Os fungos visivelmente presentes em alimentos foram identificados de acordo com suas características macroscópicas e microscópicas. A contaminação por aflatoxina foi detectada em 8,7 % das 23 amostras analisadas; e 12,5 % das amostras de castanha-do-Brasil apresentaram positividade para AFB1 (<8 μg/kg) e para AFB2 com taxa de contaminação acima do valor permitido (16 μg/kg). Quanto às amostras de amendoim, 33,3 % apresentaram positividade para AFB1 e AFB2, também com nível de contaminação (317,1 μg/kg) acima do preconizado pela ANVISA. O isolamento e a caracterização morfológica dos fungos encontrados principalmente nas castanhas-do-Brasil com casca revelaram a presença das espécies: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Mucor sp, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, Cladosporium cladosporoides, Fusarium sp, Aspergillus terreus e bactérias do filo Actinomicetos. Estes resultados demonstram que há necessidade de fiscalização mais efetiva da qualidade dos alimentos oferecidos aos consumidores.

Aeronavele fără pilot la bord/dronele sunt din ce în ce mai prezente în cotidian, de la demonstrații de zbor, filmări de evenimente, cartografiere și utilizarea în agricultură până la livrare de mărfuri sau, în viitorul apropiat, transport de persoane. De asemenea, în toate serviciile militare au fost implementate sistemele de aeronave fără pilot la bord, de la micro-UA (Unmanned Aircraft) portabile la sisteme tactice de dimensiuni medii și aeronave fără pilot la bord de mari dimensiuni. Multitudinea de termeni folosiți pentru identificarea unui anumit tip de aeronavă poate crea confuzii și de aceea este necesară o clarificare a modului lor de folosire, avându-se, în același timp, în vedere respectarea egalității de gen și echitatea în limbaj.
Stadiul relației dintre NATO și RUSIA și evoluția acesteia în viitor

Published: October 2023

Momentul 24 februarie 2022 a fost cel care a închis chiar și ultima poartă de dialog dintre Rusia și NATO. Deși marile organizații de securitate au depus eforturi uriașe pentru a împiedica acțiunile Rusiei, aceasta nu a ținut cont, continuându-și planurile ambițioase. După finalizarea Războiului Rece, relațiile dintre Rusia și NATO păreau să se stabilizeze, existând chiar colaborare în unele domenii. Chiar și așa, a existat întotdeauna o urmă de neîncredere, fiecare parte temându-se de intențiile celeilalte. Rusia, pe de-o parte, privește NATO ca pe o amenințare la adresa propriei securități, ca urmare a extinderii blocului, iar NATO consideră statul rus principalul pericol pentru statele membre, având în vedere conflictul pe care l-a declanșat și pe care îl continuă, în ciuda tuturor opreliștilor și acuzațiilor care i se aduc.

Published: October 2023

Sprijinul primit de comitagii bulgari din partea autorităţilor civile şi militare în atacurile, jafurile şi omorurile pe care le comiteau la frontiera de sud a României a confirmat suspiciunea guvernanţilor de la Bucureşti că acţiunile acestora împotriva grănicerilor şi cetăţenilor români aveau conotaţii politice şi nu puteau fi caracterizate ca acte de banditism. Deşi s-au făcut eforturi considerabile din partea guvernului român pentru încetarea acestora, atât la nivel diplomatic, cât şi militar, factorii decidenţi din Bulgaria, în perioada cercetată în prezentul articol, nu au luat nicio măsură care să oprească producerea acestor incidente frontaliere
The Bulgarian Land Forces in the Cold War
Authors: Robinson, Ph.D Colin
Published: October 2023

During the Cold War, information in Western open sources about Bulgarian Land Forces’ war plans, organisation, and order of battle was absent or very general, until the last years of the 1980s. Yet there is much more information now available after 30 years, and this is a very valid topic for research. Bulgaria was drawn into Soviet war planning for the elimination of capitalism. Bulgaria’s planned part in this was helping to seize the Turkish Straits, either with or without the use of tactical nuclear weapons. It now appears that there would have been two Fronts advancing in this area, one predominantly Soviet Odessa Military District forces to seize the Turkish Straits, and the other more heavily Bulgarian in composition attacking towards central Greece. Both would have been supported by tactical air forces and, if the circumstances dictated, nuclear weapons. Later, with the commitment of strategic reserves, it was hoped to develop the offensive in depth towards the Syrian border. The forces formed to carry this mission out were reorganized repeatedly from 1945-55, as the Communist Party tightened its control over the country. The organisation of the Land Forces was much more settled after the early 1960s. Bulgarian history will be better served by more open debate over these issues.

This article explores new dimensions of security in the context of postmodernity. The article highlights the influence of postmodernism and postmodernity on security culture and presents necessary measures to mitigate the risks associated with this paradigm. In a society characterized by plurality, relativism, and diversity, security culture must evolve to address new digital challenges. It presents how the concept of the relativization of truth from the perspective of postmodernism can affect the approach to security, highlighting both benefits and challenges. It also examines the impact of globalization and digitization on security, highlighting the need for international cooperation and interdisciplinary strategies. The article emphasizes that promoting digital education, raising awareness, developing collaboration, and implementing technology are crucial in building an adaptable and effective security culture in the face of the challenges of postmodernity.
The evolution of the relationship between NATO and Russia and future perspectives
Authors: MANOLACHE, Ph.D Candidate Ionela Cătălina
Published: October 2023

The moment of February 24, 2022, was the one that closed even the last gate of dialogue between Russia and NATO. Although major security organizations had made huge efforts to prevent these actions of Russia, the state did not heed, continuing with its ambitious plans. After the end of the Cold War, the relations between Russia and NATO seemed to be stabilizing, and there was even collaboration in some areas. Even so, there was always a trace of mistrust, each side fearing the other’s intentions. Russia, on the one hand, sees NATO as a threat to its own security as a result of the bloc’s expansion, and NATO considers the Russian state the main danger to its member states, given the conflict Russia has triggered and is carrying on, despite all the naysayers and the accusations against it.

Published: October 2023

Security terminology is a contentious and unclear topic in Romania. By analyzing the public speeches of politicians or national strategy texts, we often notice the presence of confusion regarding the correct use of the terms: security, defence, and safety. This confusion gives rise to both theoretical and practical problems, manifested in misunderstandings at the institutional level regarding their respective roles, society’s misconceptions about the functions of certain organizations, and the failure to harness the collaborative potential between society and the military sector. The appropriate solution to address these issues is the cultivation of a security culture that fosters a grasp of fundamental concepts in this field. To achieve this objective, it is considered essential to have adequate knowledge and usage of the main concepts related to security terminology. This will bring order and enhance understanding of the processes involved in achieving security, defence, and safety.
The relationship between China and security-generating organizations
Authors: MANOLACHE, Ph.D Candidate Ionela Cătălina
Published: October 2023

Currently, the international environment is characterized by complexity. Global security is threatened by numerous factors, and specific organizations like NATO, OSCE, or the UN strive to eliminate or minimize these challenges. In this regard, an important element is the economic evolution of states. Economic supremacy is accompanied by advantages in other areas of development such as the political, social, or military. China is the state that has surprised the whole world with its ability to evolve economically, becoming an important actor in the field in a relatively short time. This status brings both benefits and numerous obligations, including the need to cooperate with security organizations to develop a climate of peace at the international level. That is precisely why the Chinese state must maintain good relationships with these organizations and make efforts to generate its own collective security, ensuring a climate of peace and setting an example for other structures.

This article examines the place of antihistamines in modern therapy of the most common allergic and other histamine-dependent diseases.
A Critical Review of Crack Detection Based on Image Processing
Authors: Jiping Zhu
Published: October 2023

In order to extract meaningful observations from an image, it is essential to first convert it into a digital format and then apply a particular processing methodology. In the domain of image processing, it is a prevalent convention to consider all images as signals that are two-dimensional in nature, while utilizing conventional signal processing methodologies. The existence of surface fissures in concrete acts as an initial indication of probable structural deterioration. The utilization of image-based automated fracture identification is proposed as a viable alternative in situations where a human replacement is unavailable. This paper provides a critical review of crack detection using image processing. The scholarly literature encompasses a range of image processing techniques that can be employed for the automated identification of fractures and their respective depths. The present research involves a comprehensive examination with the objective of discerning the existing obstacles and past accomplishments within this area of investigation. A total of 24 publications related to the detection of Ato cracks have been selected for the purpose of conducting a comprehensive review. Following the review, a comprehensive analysis is performed on various image processing techniques, encompassing their respective objectives, degrees of accuracy and inaccuracy, as well as the datasets of images utilized. This study also presents future research efforts in identifying and resolving the problem of crack detection.
