Published: November 2024

The effects of infrared heating (micronizing) on the cooking and organoleptic properties of brown rice were studied. Brown rice was infrared-heated at 105, 110, 120, and 130°C for an appropriate duration of moisture content decrease by 1, 3, and 5%. To evaluate the effect of the soaking process, brown rice was soaked in water for 10, 20, and 30 min and then infrared-heated at 105, 110, and 120°C, respectively, until the water content (14%) prior to soaking was reached. Infrared heating caused the formation of stress cracks inside the rice endosperm with the partial rupture of pericarps leading to kernel breakage after cooking. The formation of stress crack was reduced significantly when brown rice was soaked before infrared heating. The Rapid Visco Analyzer profiles showed that the peak viscosity of rice starch decreased with increasing infrared heating temperature in conjunction with the soaking process due to the higher extent of starch gelatinization. The spreadability and relative index of softness of cooked brown rice increased with increasing infrared heating temperature and appropriate soaking time. The sensory test revealed that the cooked brown rice infrared-heated at 110°C with 20 min soaking showed the highest sensory attributes among all the treated samples.
Mechanistic Modeling in Biosystem Engineering: A Review on Mechanistic Models of Calcium Metabolism
Authors: Lee Wang-Hee , Cho Byoung-Kwan
Published: November 2024

Calcium is an essential nutrient generally obtained from dietary foods. However, its metabolism is a complex biological network requiring an effective analytical tool. In this review, a few notable calcium mechanistic models are assessed, emphasizing the power of mechanistic modeling in analyzing biological systems because no publication has reviewed them in a single place. Reviewed models are categorized by target systems: calcium absorption, calcium excretion, bone turnover, and whole calcium homeostasis. In the calcium absorption model, two transport systems carrying calcium from intestine to blood have been mechanistically described. Since urine calcium excretion is poorly understood, its model has not been explicitly developed although it is modeled as a part of the whole calcium metabolic system. Cell-based bone turnover model has been conceived to describe the mechanism under bone cell regulation. Finally, whole calcium metabolism has been a target to explain the metabolic control of calcium homeostasis that is linked to the endocrine system. Reviewed models focus on explaining how the calcium metabolic system behaves in response to conditional perturbations by involving effective factors such as endocrine system. We expect that not only will this study provide comprehensive information for future studies in calcium metabolism, but also that it will suggest what the concepts of biosystem modeling are and how they can be used for assessing the target system.
Investigating the Fermentation and Quality Characteristics of Low-Malt Beer With Nurungji: A Potential Malt Substitute in Beer Production
Authors: Yong Ji-Eun , Hong Se-Yeon , Park Jin-Young , Kang Sung-Tae
Published: November 2024

This study explored the suitability of nurungji as a substitute for malt. Rice beers (R20, R40, R60) and nurungji beers (N20, N40, N60) were prepared by substituting 20%, 40%, and 60% malt with the rice and nurungji, respectively. All samples were fermented at 25°C for 5 days and stored at 2°C for 15 days to study quality characteristics. The pH value of wort solution was the highest at R60. The viable cell counts of all samples were not significantly different during fermentation and storage. As the amount of rice and nurungji increased, the L value in chromaticity increased, whereas the a and b values tended to decrease during fermentation and storage. The reducing sugar, soluble solid contents, and specific gravity of the wort solution were higher in nurungji beer than in rice beer. After fermentation and storage, the alcohol content of N40 was 5.83%, the highest among the prepared rice and nurungji beers. The total polyphenol, flavonoid contents, DPPH, and ABTS scavenging activity of beer decreased with increased rice and nurungji substitution ratios during fermentation and storage. Notably, nurungji beer showed higher antioxidant activity than rice beer during fermentation and storage.

Authors: Chen Yifu , Bai Zhenxu , Jin Duo , Tan Bowen , Wang Tianqi , Wang Kun , Wang Yulei , Lu Zhiwei
Published: November 2024

The stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) pulse compression with stable compression efficiency in low temperature-dependent SBS compressors is demonstrated by suppressing the rising edge broadening under high repetition rates. Theoretical analysis reveals that the difficulty in achieving stable SBS compression is caused by the broadening of the phonon lifetime owing to thermal effect, and this undesirable fluctuation can be effectively suppressed by a low temperature-dependent medium. Reductions of 66.33% on Stokes pulse width broadening and 50% on rising time with repetition rate were achieved under 36.87% enhancement of kinematic viscosity stability. Benefiting from a stable gain coefficient, the maximum fluctuation of 3.51% in transient Stokes pulse energy was demonstrated at maximum pump power with stability enhancement of 16.28% on steady-state energy reflectivity.

Authors: Sun Zijun , Zhang Shiyuan , Wang Qidong , Liu Yonggang , Peng Zenghui , Mu Quanquan
Published: November 2024

The micro-polarizer array is the key component of the division of focal-plane (DoFP) polarization imaging method. Currently, it is possible to achieve full Stokes information detection at a single wavelength using a designed array with the highest signal-to-noise ratio. To broaden the working wavelength to the visible range and achieve high-accuracy full Stokes polarization information, this paper proposes a micro-polarizer array structure based on twisted liquid crystal. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized to optimize the device parameters, with the condition number as the evaluation function. A series of elliptically polarized lights are under measurement using the designed device. The results show that the errors of the degree of linear polarization (DoLP), degree of circular polarization (DoCP), and angle of polarization, are less than 2.00%, 1.50%, and 1.45%, respectively. All the results indicate that the twisted liquid crystal micro-polarizer array enables the high-accuracy measurement of full Stokes information within the visible range.
Indicators in groundwater in a rural region of Igarapé-Açu Municipality, northeastern Pará State, western Amazon, Brazil
Authors: Feitosa Felizzola Juliana , Magalhaes Marcelo Murad , Souza Cleo Marcelo de Araújo
Published: November 2024

Rural areas in the Northeast of Pará influence surface (igarapés) and underground (artisan wells) water flows. The region's rainfall processes, and the water stored underground contribute to the distribution of the amount of water in these small channels that feed first order rivers belonging to the two micro basins studied. The region's land uses interfere with these flows in terms of intensity, quantity of sediment carried and quality with the insertion of nutrients and substances resulting from the type of soil management carried out. Contamination of artesian wells and streams are often present without soil management planning, which has been monitored in this region for over 10 years. It was observed in this samples a presence of E coli (1986 NMP/100 mL), total coliforms (6045 NMP/100 mL) and Thermotolerant coliforms (5450 NMP/10 mL) in water samples in important concentrations. This type of monitoring helps plant cultivation and animal management be carried out in conjunction with the preservation of riparian and secondary forests.

The Potential for Sustainable Tourism Development in Small-Scale Regions: A Case Study of Sulejów Municipality
Authors: CUDNY Waldemar , PALUCH Justyna
Published: November 2024

The article addresses the critical intersection of tourism potential and sustainable tourism, focusing on a case study of the Sulejów commune, a small municipality located in central Poland. The study analyzes Sulejów's natural and cultural attractions and other elements of tourism potential and assesses their relevance for sustainable tourism development. The research employed field observations, an intercept questionnaire survey, and SWOT analysis to evaluate tourism potential, the perspectives for sustainable tourism and identify areas for improvement. The results highlight Sulejów’s significant tourism potential, with key natural attractions such as the Sulejów Landscape Park, the Pilica River, and the Sulejów Reservoir, alongside cultural historical landmarks like the Cistercian Abbey. While respondents rated tourism potential highly, challenges include inadequate accessibility, weak eco-awareness and promotion and limited support from local institutions. The study proposes a framework emphasizing pro-ecological education, sustainable infrastructure improvements, better promotion, and the use of modern technologies to market the region sustainably. The findings contribute to the understanding of sustainable tourism in smaller communities and provide a basis for broader comparisons in future research.
Beyond Dualism(s): A New Approach to Legal Personhood in Contemporary Legal Theory
Authors: Folková Zsófia
Published: November 2024

This article presents a critique of the Orthodox View of legal personhood, which traditionally aligns personhood with the capacity to hold rights and duties. It explores the Bundle Theory proposed by Visa Kurki, which redefines legal personhood as a cluster concept composed of passive and active elements, and which challenges the binary nature of personhood, proposing a spectrum ranging from full to partial personhood. It also considers which entities can be legal persons and offers a brief overview of new, alternative ontologies.
Byronizm jako transgresja (o Wielkiej Improwizacji w „Dziadach” części III Adama Mickiewicza)
Authors: Kalinowska Maria
Published: November 2024

Based on the example of Byronic themes in Mickiewicz’s works from the 1830s, the author analyses the antinomies of Byronism’s receptions, focusing on the Great Improvisation as an archetypal scene within Polish romantic literature. Konrad’s improvisation expresses both the extreme solitude of the character and his deepest relationship with his community. The Great Improvisation is also a transgression in its multiple meanings. In this scene, we can see the peak of Polish Byronism as well as the end of Byronic influence. The dynamics of the Improvisation show that Mickiewicz’s Byronism cannot be treated solely in the categories of literary motifs, psychological construction or a set of ideas. In this case, Byronism is not merely a static collection of characteristics, but a dynamic construction, an activity full of tensions; it is a constant verification of ethical and religious values and ideals, if not a review of dogmas and traditions and the process of transgressing them in order not to arrive at nothingness and evil, but – as Mickiewicz put it – to “search for higher and fundamental truths.”
Energia awangardy, czyli o pewnym przypadku logowizualnego perpetuum mobile
Authors: Śniecikowska Beata
Published: November 2024

The article concerns one of the most obscure and most daring (in terms of graphical experimentation) verbo-visual works of the Polish Great Avant-garde – the booklet Wąż, Orfeusz i Eurydyka [Serpent, Orpheus and Euridice, 1922] by Tytus Czyżewski, a painter and man of letters. The printed drama consists of double-spreads made of drawings (presented on the left pages) and text of a one-act play (always placed on the right). In her analyses Śniecikowska refers to the concept of “niezrozumialstwo” [nonunderstandableness] introduced by the Polish pre-war literary critic, Karol Irzykowski, focusing on the positive aspects of “understanding non-understanding”. She reveals possible similarities between Czyżewski’s artistic practice and the Surrealist technique of automatic drawing. She also uncovers some unclear connections between the visual and the textual within the booklet and points to the relations of Czyżewski’s work and the 21st century experiments with verbo-visuality.

Impet słowa. Szum informacyjny jako technika pisarska w Wagarach Witolda Wirpszy
Authors: Kołodziej Dorota
Published: November 2024

The aim of the text is to interpret Witold Wirpsza’s experimental novel Wagary, with particular emphasis on science inspirations that have been overlooked in previous analyses. Reading selected fragments of the novel in the context of the author’s self-referential statements regarding concepts such as noise, information and word energy, makes it possible to see that the terms borrowed from cybernetics can describe the tension between the organising and disorganising properties of Witold Wirpsza’s work.
Przeskalowanie wyobraźni: maszyna językowa i poezja
Authors: Winiecka Elżbieta
Published: November 2024

The article is focused on the peculiarities and functions of metaphors in the poetry of Radosław Jurczak, and more broadly in the work of the youngest poets, for whom life in the world of digital media and the perspective of the development of artificial intelligence is an important part of their formative experience. She uses the terms introduced by Mark Fisher for this purpose: weird and eerie. The authoress compares poetic tricks appearing in Jurczak’s poems with the concept of poetic language of the first avant-garde. She points out the changes occurring in the poetics and aesthetics of the works, and also focuses on figures relating to the technological sphere of modernity. She polemically addresses the view of Jerzy Jarzębski, who considers the phrase “artificial intelligence” to be a fashionable and harmful oxymoron that defines the pragmatic, reductionist worldview of its users. The authoress argues that the incorporation into the language of poetry of terms that have in everyday language the status of catachreses and over-lexicalized metaphors, allows to recover their creative potential and ambiguity. She considers the characteristic feature of the new poetic imagination to be its scaling, which also requires readers to take a new approach to the language of the new poetry.
Węgiel w awangardzie (Tadeusz Peiper – Julian Przyboś – Jan Brzękowski – Bolesław Lubosz)
Authors: Tomczok Marta
Published: November 2024

The article summarizes the avant-garde poetry of Tadeusz Peiper, Julian Przyboś, Jan Brzękowski, and their successor, Bolesław Lubosz, devoted to hard coal. Observing the partial break of this poetry with the romantic vision of the underground, which did not specify coal as a separate matter, the author reflects on how to shape the language of the new, coal-based materiality. The article proposes to see it in four close-ups: coal utopias, coal sprays, coal energies and birds made of coal (the latter metaphor, derived from Peiper’s poem, refers to the work of Tadeusz Kłak, which is a direct inspiration for the arrangement of the material in this article).
Co wynika z Peiperowskiego projektowania „uścisku z teraźniejszo ścią” (refleksje historyka dwudziestowiecznej awangardy, z małym wychyleniem w stronę XXI wieku)
Authors: Sienkiewicz Barbara
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the evolution of the avant-garde, determining the emergence of important differences between the historical avant-garde of the 1920s and the attitudes of the post-avant-garde and neo-avant-garde – from the 1970s of the twentieth century to the first decades of the twenty-first. At the same time, it answers the question of where the logic of the avant-gardes would find its axioms. Post-avant-garde poetry undoubtedly pursues the avant-garde postulate of approximation to the social reality of everyday life, but fundamentally understands this postulate differently. Consequently, it fulfills what the historical avant-garde did not: opening the boundaries of poetry as a result of questioning the autotelicity and autonomy of poetry, redefining reality-in-the-present as that, historically, locally, politically conditioned. Not infrequently, this forces a critical gesture against social reality and the associated rules of social communication. To an even greater extent, this opening was determined by the conviction that this reality is not available in unmediated experience, that poetic critical discourse must be based on “interceptions” of social narratives, more or less petrified, leading to the recognition that everything belongs to reality, regardless of ontological status. It points out that countercultural movements have had a significant impact on the direction of this evolution.
Comparative semiotics of womanhood: portrayal of Chinese and Pakistani women in contemporary paintings
Authors: Riaz Mehvish
Published: November 2024

Images have the potential to both alienate and unite. Due to their ideological power, images can both create and clear misconceptions. To analyze the semiotic variation in the portrayal of women in contemporary art in relation to feminine identities and ideological representations, the study analyzes the choice of ideational signs in the contemporary Chinese and Pakistani paintings on the basis of the social semiotic approach of the grammar of visual design suggested by Kress and van Leeuwen. Considering diversity of themes and portrayal of women, 30 Pakistani and 30 Chinese paintings, painted by 17 Chinese and 17 Pakistani male and female painters were selected through an information-rich sampling technique. Results suggest that loneliness, waiting, leisure, and love for nature are the common themes related to Chinese and Pakistani women which the painters have creatively modeled. The images vary in the sense that Chinese women have been represented in constructive gender roles, such as working women, ballerinas, sports women, and hardworking farmers, etc., while Pakistani women have been represented in terms of resistance, oppression, victimhood, religiosity, and protection. The study has implications for gender studies, multimodal representations, and the way we comprehend, describe, and construct the interconnected yet fragmented fabric of our world.

Kritische Rohstoffabhängigkeiten und Lieferketten-Resilienz – ein Fall für die geheimen Nachrichtendienste?
Authors: Kullik Jakob , Hoffmann Sophia
Published: November 2024

Kurzfassung

Die Autoren gehen der Frage nach, ob die zunehmende Bedeutung sogenannter kritischer mineralischer und metallischer Rohstoffe die Beobachtung der entsprechenden Lieferketten durch geheime staatliche Nachrichtendienste erforderlich macht. Systemrelevante Rohstoffe wie etwa Erdöl waren nie nur wirtschaftlich bedeutsam, sondern wurden von Staaten stets auch unter versorgungsstrategischen und sicherheitspolitischen Aspekten mithilfe von Auslandsnachrichtendiensten analysiert. Derzeit stehen kritische Elemente wie Seltene Erden oder Lithium im Fokus des öffentlichen Interesses. In diesem Zusammenhang befasst sich dieser Aufsatz mit zwei zentralen Fragen: (1) Können geheime Nachrichtendienste einen substanziellen Mehrwert bei der Analyse von Rohstoffmärkten für den Staat und gegebenenfalls die Industrie leisten? Und (2) welche Risiken und Potenziale sind mit dem Einsatz geheimer Nachrichtendienste in diesem Bereich verbunden? Die Verfasser verstehen ihren Beitrag als Debattenanstoß und sind sich bewusst, dass die Empirie im Bereich Nachrichtendienstforschung nicht systematisch erhebbar ist. Möglicherweise sind die hier behandelten Fragestellungen im nachrichtendienstlichen Tagesgeschäft schon diskutiert und teils bereits implementiert worden.
Ignition experimental study based on rotating gliding arc
Authors: Peng Ting , Peng Changxin , Liu Yibo , Yang Hao
Published: November 2024

Experimental studies were performed to explore the ignition performance of rotating gliding arc. Dual-axial swirler and beveled holes combined radial vanes swirler were used to produce rotating gliding arc. The ignition test with dual-axial swirler at normal temperature and pressure showed that the ignition fuel to air ratio (FAR) was reduced by more than 30 % compared with conventional ignition method. The ignition performance of four kinds of beveled holes combined radial vanes swirlers was compared. The ignition tests were also performed at the ground low temperature and high altitude conditions. The results showed that the ignition FAR was reduced by more than 20 % at ground low temperature and 3.0 km altitude and was higher at 4.5 km and 5.5 km altitude compared with the conventional ignition method. The result indicated that the low pressure had a more obvious influence on the discharge and ignition performance compared with the low temperature condition.

ASPECTOS SOCIOPOLÍTICOS DO SOFRIMENTO PSÍQUICO
Authors: Costa Amanda Karol de Oliveira
Published: November 2024

Este artigo pretende discutir os aspectos sociopolíticos do sofrimento psíquico e as estratégias políticas e ideológicas utilizadas pelo neoliberalismo para gerenciar o sofrimento psicossocial na contemporaneidade. Para tanto é desenvolvido estudo de natureza qualitativa e de caráter bibliográfico, cujas principais obras analisadas são dos autores: Dardot e Laval; Fisher; Martín-Baró; Gouveia, Amarantes e Freitas. A partir desse estudo, foi possível concluir que os condicionantes socioculturais do neoliberalismo implicam diretamente na construção das subjetividades e na produção social do sofrimento psíquico. Podendo dar novas configurações às expressões de sofrimento psicossocial, inclusive, ampliá-las e/ou intensificá-las. Tendo em vista que o individualismo, a competitividade, consumismo e constituição do indivíduo-empresa, são capazes de acentuar sentimentos e vivências de autoculpabilização, autocoerção; gerar angústia, frustração, desesperança, cansaço, estresse, etc. Também, compreende-se que a gerência neoliberal sobre o sofrimento psíquico envolve a psicologização, patologização, e medicalização. Estratégias úteis para o capital à medida que favorece o controle ideológico ao responsabilizar os sujeitos, ignorando as contradições sociais que perpassam a experiência individual. Também, de modo simultâneo, é vantajoso economicamente ao produzir lucros para as indústrias que comercializam o cuidado em saúde mental.
OS CONDENADOS DO ESPAÇO URBANO
Authors: Menezes Giovanna Maria Casais
Published: November 2024

A Comunidade Nova Esperança, situação a qual se analisou, é uma área ocupada inicialmente no contexto da pandemia causada pelo coronavírus, por aproximadamente 1.100 famílias, no qual os núcleos familiares de baixa renda, diante das dificuldades intensificadas pela crise sanitária, migraram para áreas precárias ou, quando possível, para o compartilhamento de moradia. Esse artigo buscou sintetizar um breve estudo sobre a dinâmica de ocupação do espaço urbano tendo como orientação a noção de segregação socioespacial, em especial no contexto de Curitiba, resgatando elementos teóricos críticos sobre direito à cidade, relacionando-os com análise sobre o perfil dos ocupantes da Comunidade Nova Esperança. Isso foi realizado com o objetivo de responder as inquietações iniciais de que determinados grupos compostos por negros, latinos, imigrantes e refugiados são, numa analogia a Frantz Fanon, os condenados da terra (e do espaço urbano). Por condenados, entende-se que são esses grupos que mais sofrem ao serem deixados à margem da dinâmica de produção do espaço urbano.
ACUMULAÇÃO PRIMITIVA
Authors: Jaudy Raisa Rachid , Corrêa Edjane Da Silva Barbosa
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo traz reflexões sobre o processo de expropriação de terras, revelando suas expressões e perspectivas societais, em particular a respeito da situação da população brasileira camponesa na contemporaneidade. Entende-se que, atualmente, a acumulação por expropriação, materializada na proliferação dos “cercamentos de terras” e na privatização dos bens públicos, tem se caracterizado como a atual forma de acumulação primitiva. O estudo apresenta caráter exploratório e investigativo, utilizando-se da revisão bibliográfica como fonte de pesquisa. Reconhece-se que, embora tenha-se a hegemonia da reprodução social capitalista, sendo a desapropriação de terras uma das várias maneiras para ocorrer na evolução do sistema capitalista, coexistem nesta dinâmica lutas e movimentos de resistência social.

A INSTRUMENTALIZAÇÃO DO DIREITO PARA FINS BIOPOLÍTICOS
Authors: Sartori Alana Taíse Castro
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho se refere à temática da instrumentalização do direito para fins biopolíticos. A pergunta central que norteia a pesquisa pode ser definida como: é possível estabelecer uma relação entre instrumentalização do direito e biopolítica, no sentido de que o direito pode servir como instrumento para fins biopolíticos? Nesse sentido, o objetivo central da pesquisa consiste em explicar a instrumentalização do direito para fins biopolíticos. A partir da base teórica de Max Horkheimer, a tese alcançada é de que, a partir de uma razão instrumental, qualquer ciência pode ser instrumentalizada, inclusive o direito. Neste sentido, o direito instrumentalizado tem forte vinculação com a biopolítica, pois ele é responsável pela gestão da vida humana, e, em última análise, pela política do deixar viver, deixar morrer. Se o direito se instrumentaliza, os resultados incidirão diretamente sobre a vida humana, representando um estratagema biopolítico, utilizado principalmente em prol das classes de poder da sociedade. Para desenvolver o raciocínio da pesquisa, o trabalho subdivide-se em três tópicos: o primeiro define um conceito de biopolítica de acordo com Foucault e Agamben, o segundo explica o aporte teórico de Horkheimer e sua crítica à racionalidade, e, por fim, o terceiro relaciona direito, razão instrumental e biopolítica, demonstrando o mecanismo do Estado de exceção como marco da instrumentalização do direito para fins biopolíticos. A metodologia é predominantemente analítico-interpretativa, com pesquisa em fontes bibliográficas.

Em detrimento de suas sucessivas falhas e descontinuidades, a nação perdura enquanto projeto político e objeto de identificação coletiva, atravessando os parâmetros através dos quais pensamos o mundo. Por que a nação se mantem enquanto o principal objeto de identificação e organização do que chamamos de âmbito internacional, e onde podemos localizar os indivíduos e suas agências, bem como seus desejos por esse objeto, em sua permanência? No presente artigo, busco responder ou apontar caminhos possíveis para pensar essas questões, partindo da literatura de Relações Internacionais acerca do “problema da diferença” (INAYATULLAH, BLANEY 2004) que elucida o papel produtivo das dicotomias que embasam a concepção da nação e suas fronteiras. Por fim, em sua segunda e última seção, o artigo elabora a temática de afetos e emoções em RI, visando lançar luz sobre o fenômeno da permanência da nação através de um olhar atento às respostas e promessas afetivas evocadas por ela.
O ESPAÇO POTENCIAL É UM ESPAÇO SOCIAL
Authors: Silva Gabriel Barth da
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho busca dialogar a produção teórica do pediatra e psicanalista inglês Donald Woods Winnicott com o sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu, estruturando um campo comum a partir de suas respectivas propostas teórico-metodológicas com um enfoque na correlação entre seus conceitos de espaço potencial e espaço social. Partindo de um breve resumo dos principais pontos das obras de ambos os autores, o trabalho busca construir um olhar no qual as suas respectivas abordagens epistemológicas deixam de ser conflitantes mas tornam-se complementares nas análises dos escritos dos autores, sendo possível complementar as dinâmicas estruturais sociais e culturais com perspectivas psicodinâmicas, e vice-versa. Percebendo a formulação de ambos os espaços enquanto constructos que advém da estrutura social na qual o indivíduo está inserido que é apresentado e assegurado em primeira instância pela dinâmica familiar, ressalta-se a importância de descentralizar as análises dos cotidianos e seus respectivos afetos de uma estrutura puramente sociológica ou puramente psicanalítica.

Amlodipin Kullanımına Bağlı Diş Eti Büyümelerinin Cerrahisiz Periodontal Tedavisi: 2 Olgu Sunumu
Authors: Çolak İrem , Efe Demet , Buduneli Nurcan
Published: November 2024

Diş eti büyümeleri; mikrobiyal dental plak birikimi, travma, sistemik hastalıklar, genetik yatkınlık ve ilaç kullanımı gibi çeşitli nedenlerle ortaya çıkmaktadır. İlaca bağlı diş eti büyümelerine neden olan ilaç gruplarından biri de hipertansiyon, anjina pektoris ve kardiyak aritmi gibi kardiyovasküler problemlerin tedavisi için sıklıkla kullanılan kalsiyum kanal blokörü olan amlodipin türevleridir. Amlodipinin kısa süreli ve düşük dozda kullanımının bile diş etlerinde meydana getirdiği büyümeler plak kontrolünün sağlanamaması ve kötü estetik gibi olumsuz etkiler oluşturabilir. Lokal etkenlerin ortadan kaldırılması, ağız bakımının iyileştirilmesi, periodontal tedavi ve ilaç değişikliği gibi uygulamalar ile ilaca bağlı diş eti büyümeleri kontrol altına alınabilmektedir. Bu raporda, diş eti büyümesi şikayetiyle kliniğe başvuran ve uzun süredir amlodipin kullanmakta olan iki hastada başlangıç ve cerrahisiz periodontal tedavi sonrası klinik periodontal bulgular sunulmaktadır.
The Exploitation of Black Labour as Experienced by the Black Loyalist
Authors: Chuol Nyatike
Published: November 2024

Examining the history of the Black Loyalists is essential to Black Canadian history. More significantly is examining the social inequality the Black Loyalists faced in the past. Much of the early history of the Black Loyalists is shaped by the institution of slavery. The institution of slavery is maintained by ideologies and traditions that justify another race’s enslavement. At the heart of these justifications is anti-black racism. Racism weaved throughout the fabric of white society and resulted from hundreds of years of imperialism, subjugation, and racist dogma. Black individuals had no legal safeguard for themselves nor any political power. This essay intends to argue that the Black Loyalists’ experience illustrates the racist attitudes held by white society. This paper will focus on the preconception that Black people’s value came from their usefulness in service to white people. The maintenance of anti-black racism will be examined through three generalizations. The different motivations and experiences between white and Black Loyalists, the overlap between freed and enslaved Black people living in Nova Scotia, and the continual exploitation of Black labour for white people’s sole benefit.
Educational Big Data Initiates a New Era in Education Development
Authors: Yang Yaodong
Published: November 2024

Over the past more than ten years, big data technology has posed profound impacts to almost all sectors including education. This state-of-the-art technology prompts changes in educational notions, pedagogy, and the roles of teachers and students. Educational big data proliferates with the improvement of school digital infrastructure, popularization of campus networks, increase in educational applications, widespread use of learning management systems (LMS) and other terminal devices (Chaurasia & Rosin, 2017). There is a consensus among researchers that judicious exploitation of educational big data is beneficial for optimizing education resource distribution, reaching scientific educational decisions, and elevating the quality of instruction (Cui, 2023). The benefits of big data application in education have also been well recognized by educators; schools and other education institutions are increasing endeavors to integrate big data technology into instruction.
De tránsitos, esperas y temporalidades

El objetivo de este artículo es explorar los procesos de construcción del parentesco en el marco de las prácticas de acogimiento familiar desarrolladas por una ONG en la zona noroeste del Gran Buenos Aires, Argentina. A partir del trabajo de campo que realizamos con mujeres que actualmente ejercen esta tarea, analizamos las formas en que ellas lidian con los presupuestos de un modelo normativo de familia y con ello contribuyen a tensar o reificar los límites prácticos y conceptuales del parentesco. Desde una perspectiva socio- -antropológica, enfocamos en los sentidos sobre la transitoriedad del cuidado ya que ello permite examinar y problematizar los procesos de gestión de la parentalidad y de producción de arreglos familiares orientados a redistribuir status parentales. El carácter transitorio de este cuidado brindado a niños ubicados temporalmente en familias con las cuales no tienen vínculo biológico ni jurídico representa un núcleo de sentido que nos lleva a organizar el análisis en dos dimensiones concretas: por un lado, la forma en que estas mujeres se preparan para el momento en que deben separarse de los niños que alojan y, por otro, las posibilidades que encuentran para habilitar la coexistencia de diversos vínculos significativos para ellos.
Tejiendo Redes de Cambio: Una intervención comunitaria para fortalecer la organización en Los Altos de San Isidro, Atenas

El objetivo del presente estudio fue propiciar un espacio de articulación comunitaria entre la Asociación Administradora de los Sistemas de Acueductos y Alcantarillados Comunales (ASADA) de Los Altos de San Isidro y otras asociaciones del cantón de Atenas, con el propósito de promover la organización respecto al Plan Regulador y otras necesidades en común. Como principales resultados se encontró que factores como la afectividad, el liderazgo y los vínculos son esenciales para movilizar el compromiso y la participación comunitaria. Por otra parte, se identifica en los grupos con los cuales se realizó la intervención, una identidad de resistencia que surge ante la necesidad de un balance entre la protección ambiental y el desarrollo socioeconómico de la comunidad. Desde las asociaciones se sugieren alternativas como la agroecología, el turismo ecológico, la bioconstrucción, entre otras., que puedan contribuir al desarrollo social, económico y ambiental; esto en contraposición con lo propuesto desde el gobierno local, según lo mencionado por las personas de dichas asociaciones. A partir de las actividades realizadas, se lograron reconocer y priorizar las necesidades de la comunidad, así como establecer acciones concretas para abordarlas.
Technologies of Renunciation
Authors: Buckley Liam M
Published: November 2024

In the 1940s, photography at Sivananda Ashram had a multifaceted presence—it contributed to ritual practice, deepened the connection between the ashram community and householder visitors, and provided a rich metaphor for yogic life. This photography was distinguished by the fact that the images were produced by monks as part of their daily life, and the techniques of photographic production themselves became part of yogic practice. As a devotional practice at Sivananda Ashram, photography initiated a period of extended and provocative reflection on the question of how media technology, largely associated with worldliness, could support a yogic path of renunciation and self-realization.

Wastewater samples from To Lich River contaminated with organophosphate flame retardant (OPFRs) were collected and enriched in a medium supplemented with OPFR compounds. As a result, 10 bacterial strains were isolated and identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. These bacterial strains belong to the genera Achromobacter, Pseudomonas, Bordetella, and Rhizobium.  All 10 bacterial strains exhibited the ability to degrade some OPFR compounds, but only two strains, Achromobacter sp. BWTL6 and Rhizobium sp. BWTL7, effectively degraded all 5 tested OPFR compounds. These two bacterial strains demonstrated the capability to degrade more than 70% of tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCPP) (at 10 mg/L concentration) within 7 days. Furthermore, both Achromobacter sp. BWTL6 and Rhizobium sp. BWTL7 were able to utilize tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), triethyl phosphate (TEP), tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBEP), and trimethyl phosphate (TMP) for growth, exhibiting clear cell proliferation and OPFR removal rates ranging from 40 to 58%. In addition, bacterial strain Bordetella sp. BWTL3 degraded 61.5% of TDCPP and 97.7% of TBEP after 7 days of culture. In this study, all three bacterial strains belonging to the Achromobacter, Rhizobium and Bordetella are potential candidates for remediation of environments contaminated with OPFRs.
